fast

Welp, didn't even realize we were 91 posts past bump limit last thread.

>>6429 Now this is an Edition I can get behind.

https://youtu.be/VOYloEFEEvs?t=1172 So, are you right for another Deathbattle with Mario and Sonic?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FGCErLhLB0 Maybe if 06 looked styled like this, I'd take it more seriously.

>>6428 I've wanted to have it again for a couple years now. I know it's shit, but for some reason I feel compelled to own it and really play it and experience it.

>>6436 Welp, good luck anon.

>>6436 Have you tried the SAGE Unity remake of 06 for PC?

4/sthg/'s mods in a nutshell: Shitty Bowsette meme spamming >I sleep On-topic jokes about the series >I WAKE!

>>6438 I gave the build with the desert level a shot a good while ago, but not the latest one. I would love it if they manage to pull it off and basically put 06 on PC. Every Sonic game should be on PC.

>>6439 I hope that /co/ mod didn't get sent to 4/sthg/. They are actually really fucked if that's the case. Also, I hate halfchan, news at 11. Why is that place practically raided by autistic Nintendo fags and politics?

>>6440 I'd recommend the latest build. It's pretty cool just how much they've been able to recreate the entire experience of Sonic 06.

>>6441 >I hope that /co/ mod didn't get sent to 4/sthg/. They are actually really fucked if that's the case. Wait, what do you mean? I was banned by a /co/ mod for my anti-Bowsette posts, is that who you're talking about? >autistic Nintendofags I unno, Nintendofags are become the biggest shitters of this decade though. When are they going to become the cringe faggots of video game franchises yet? >politics GG and all of that shit.. seriously fuck the politicsposting though.. the mixture of politics, racebaiting, and waifufaggotry (and not the fun kind) along with conformist sheep nigger mentality is repulsive.

>>6442 I'll likely check it out after I play some of the regular 06.

>>6443 >Spoiler Well, no, but judging that it does seem like they shifted mods over to /vg/. And that's really bad What I was talking about was there was this /co/ mod a while back ago that would delete any and all Sonic related threads on sight, but I wasn't too sure if he got fired or not, but if he's still there, I wouldn't be surpirsed if he's letting his Nintendrone fagging hit full power with the latest fotm meme and using it to fuck over the Sonic general. All I could ask is if it's happening to any Sonic threads on /v/, cuz if it is, yeah they are raiding Sonic threads with Mario bs. >When are they going to become the cringe faggots of video game franchises yet? Maybe soon, since Nintendo is the most normal pandering company, when many normal people start seeing how cancerous obsessive Nintendo fans are, they'll start calling them out like Sonic got years ago, and either Nintendo will regress and go back to the Wii era or end up going down the rabbit hole even further because only the fans buy their crap now.

>>6445 I meant to add but forgot, I'd expect them to fired the president if shit gets worse, because it was him that people pointed out, how we got game after game with blatant waifu pandering with designs catering to brown, curvy women and oversized titty monster Jap girls in skimpy outfits. You had none of this stuff back in the 2000s from Nintendo.

>>6447 I like oversized titty monster jap girls in skimpy outfits and brown curvy women though

>>6448 Can you people think without "muh dick" for once? Nintendo is for kids. Secondly, shit is fucked up that Sonic already got his ass torn in by the mid 2000s while Nintendo is getting passes… for now.

>>6449 As they always say, "It's okay when Nintendo does it". Funny, this was the hot topic saying on pre 2015 /v/, but now, completely raided SWAT team style by Nintendrones ever since. They are truly the Disney of gaming. "They can never do wrong".

>>6445 >Well, no, but judging that it does seem like they shifted mods over to /vg/. And that's really bad Damn I didn't know that. God damn. How has that site's quality fallen off even worse than in 2015? >What I was talking about was there was this /co/ mod a while back ago that would delete any and all Sonic related threads on sight, but I wasn't too sure if he got fired or not, but if he's still there, I wouldn't be surpirsed if he's letting his Nintendrone fagging hit full power with the latest fotm meme and using it to fuck over the Sonic general. All I could ask is if it's happening to any Sonic threads on /v/, cuz if it is, yeah they are raiding Sonic threads with Mario bs. Hahaha oh my fucking god, are you serious? A fucking Nintendofag AND stuck in the 90s console wars. What is that faggot, a 40 year old NEET? God at this point /fast/ is the better alternative which is sad because I was making a Mighty Milestone image for /sthg/ >Maybe soon, since Nintendo is the most normal pandering company, when many normal people start seeing how cancerous obsessive Nintendo fans are, they'll start calling them out like Sonic got years ago, and either Nintendo will regress and go back to the Wii era or end up going down the rabbit hole even further because only the fans buy their crap now. I'm thinking its soon, but the gaming community has only shifted just a little, while I do see some normalfags thinking it's creepy or weird, or just plainly sexist, which.. is a sign that probably in 5-10 years if Nintendo keeps doing this and the climate of being "SJW" stays its gonna definitely get a shitload of backlash, both from PC people and the normies who hate cringe and autistic stuff. That being said, the normies who'd criticize Nintendo or find it corny in the first place probably don't play platformers or any of that shit in general

>>6450 Yeah… /v/'s been even more full of Nintendrones.. how the fuck did that happen even? Are they from Reddit or something? >Disney of gaming Yup that sums it up pretty well. Ironically I find Disney pretty garbage too, except I don't like anything about Disney and there are at least two Ips of Nintendo I like, naturally. However that waifu shit they keep introducing is grounds for a skull dragging.

Did you know the term "Sage" is offensive to Koreans?

>>6446 Wait… Tegaki anon you also got banned, what the fuck happened? also i drew that shadow and tails pic on tegaki and they accidentally tagged that bullshit as yours on the booru, sorry

>>6454 wait I just remembered it was the cream and amy and shadow pic they tagged as yours, my bad

>God at this point /fast/ is the better alternative which is sad because I was making a Mighty Milestone image for /sthg/ You are me, bro. Feels bad. But I mean, you could always post it here instead when you get the time if you still want. And really, that's why I had to leave. It's sad what could likely kill 4/sthg isn't actually The Sonic fans (or mostly, its shitposters) but specifically the people using 4chan that's killing it in general. 4chan is just a lost cause now. It's just this generals Pornhub/Paheal at best now.

>>6456 My bad >>6451

>>6456 ugh, also meant to say *generations, not general

>>6456 >You are me, bro. Feels bad. But I mean, you could always post it here instead when you get the time if you still want. Good idea.. all my stuff is in the booru anyway. I expect this place to get quite active by the end of next year, anyway.

>>6453 Wait, it is?

>>6449 There is nothing wrong with giving women large breasts in video games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9aR5d_f36w >>6460 https://youtu.be/c9aR5d_f36w?t=344

>>6461 I just rather they don't make it so blatant and make the character an character other than for sex appeal. Having them once in a while isn't a problem.

>>6456 Yeah. I have a feeling 4ch is a lost cause. I'll be with 4/sthg/ until it finally crumbles though, sometimes there's quality discussion there. The Omega milestone was great.

I like Rouge as a villain

>>6465 Was she ever a villain ? Maybe in the archie comics though.

>>6453 I think Sage would be proud of that fact.

>>6466 She was in the dark side in SA2.

>>6468 Yeah but she was working for the Government. All she's really a "villain" for is being a jewel theft. Basically Bat Lara Croft of some sorts.

>>6469 >Yeah but she was working for the Government. So she is a villain

>>6470 COMMUNIST! FUCKIN COMMUNIST TRASH! ARGH! ARGH! *chokes on own spit*

>>6470 Ayy

>>6454 it was for something in another general. the mods have been in a bad mood since sunday night for some reason

*slaps your girlfriend's ass*

>>6470 Clever girl…

wouldnt it be something if rouge worked for the yakuza like wo

>>6476 I knew it…

>>6476 >Rouge Yakuza game Thanks for telling me something I didn't even know I wanted

This is random but still Sonic and maybe other communities related, but, has anyone noticed that Reddit and Forums, despite being more PC and SJWish, are generally full of more intolerant and mean-spirited people than those on imageboards? What's with that? I left Sonic forums and any communities and found the imageboard Sonic communities are the best I've been to in years

>>6479 Probably the whole downvote / post like features that dictate discourse, promoting or even hiding posts of certain opinions, so god help you if you don't fit the mould.

>>6479 Intolerant of what? The Sonic reddit is just memes and fanart. Unless you meant reddit as a whole. I don't know about the rest of the site but generally the one or two other subreddits I went to were pretty friendly and accepting as long as you're weren't being an asshole. The general gaming subreddits were all trash though. They all just constantly bitch about politics, boycotting whatever company of the month over bullshit, EA being worse than hitler, etc.

>>6481 Sorry for that reddit I meant the general website and the communities based around reddit communities like on discords. I think the Sonic discord and reddit is okay but Sonic forums are horrible. It really depends. >>6480 Yeah fitting the mold is a big thing on forums.

I like sonic

>>6429 I just realized this thread has no title.

>>6485 Wew

>>6479 from my experience, sonic retro has been the worst out of all of them

>>6487 How so? I wasnt on Sonic Retro too often but I hated SSMB.

test

>>6490 nice

>>6490 what are you testing, anon

>>6492 (you)

>>6493 oh

>>6492 >>6494 >>6495

>>6496 oh neat. I like them

>>6490 >>6493 Sweet. >>6489 Don't know how I've never came across that last Bump & Sage pic, but that's incredibly cute.

What's the most recent piece of Sonic-related merchandise you bought? I won a nice looking Sonic plush on ebay. Now I just have to wait a month for it to arrive from Japan

>>6501 Cool. You got a pic of the Sonic plush?

>>6502 it has a spot on the head that I hope I can fix somehow

>>6503 Ooh, that's a cute Sonic. Good get, anon

>>6501 Probably the giant Sonic plush I posted a while back.

I came over to see why /fast/ has gotten an uptick in activity lately compared to when the sonic boards were initially made. After seeing posts like these: >>6439 >>6441 >>6443 I have to ask, how many of you came from /sthg/ on /vg/?

>>6506 probably at least 90% of us

>>6503 I have that same one on my lap right now kek

>>6456 >>6464 >>6507 Mods are powertripping (again) on your general? Any specific details besides this alleged favoritism to Nintendo (and the influx of Bowsette if I'm not mistaken?)

If you had to choose one out of all of these artists to make the next soundtrack for a new sonic game which would it be? A. https://youtu.be/MEeolUZeW9M B. https://youtu.be/PoI0y5rBWR4 C. https://soundcloud.com/seakidmollusk/flowersss D. https://youtu.be/n7Hld8y532E E. https://youtu.be/m-mcWGjO0VQ

>>6510 None of the above. Daisuke Ishiwatari or bust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q_Z-12tTFw

>>6500 There's so much Bump stuff nowadays that it's easy to miss a few pics every now and then.

>>6506 Me.. fuck that site

>>6506 Present.

>>6506 Me as well.

So… Espio.

>>6518 What a nice pet Razor is

>>6519 Never seen him.

>>6507 >>6514 >>6515 >>6516 Take a look over at >>>/irc/ sometime if you ever wish to know the extent of the staff's faggotry. It's been over 4 years since one of the biggest exoduses to this site took place because of them. Part of me wishes more made the move earlier on such as /m/, and as time progressed, newcomers have been scorned for a variety of reasons on other boards, especially the top ones. Just a heads-up.

>>6522 I've been on this site since before the first exodus, but I never really cared too much about 4chan's staff faggotry. It feels the top boards have gradually gone to shit, though.

>>6523 I remember a time when /v/ lived up to the /b/ comparisons with dubs and tripfags abound. Speaking of the latter, ones like "Sparky" have been left behind there right?

You got 10 seconds to post your favorite level track. Go

https://invidio.us/watch?v=oNXBpzDp1K8 >>6525 Too many to pick, but this one's pretty special to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg0N77nI_OI >>6525

>>6524 Whats wrong with Sparky

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf1UXzrZPMM >>6525 >>6527 Better version. I don't like the other one.

>>6528 A namefag for starters. That's not you is it?

>>6530 no But I find his autism strangely comforting. Is there a more malicious or problematic side I need to know?

>>6531 Sparky is a sweet boy

https://youtu.be/RPYzgCI6Q1I >>6525

>>6531 Not quite. Just that I'd think he'd make a bit of a show on our /v/ for the aforementioned reason of people being wary of people from other sites coming in. I do remember him specifically from the Sega Forum, when it was still up. Despite his tangents, he wasn't the most outrageous person in hindsight considering the others that frequented (and subsequently banned from) that place. Oh the memories of all the crazy shit that happened there..

>>6533 Hydrocity gets so comfy after you get used to it, and what a great tune it has too. Man, what a great game S3&K is.

>>6531 You do realize how every time he steps in threads go to shit and how worthless arguing with him is?

>>6536 I seriously believe the shitposters posting that shitty fucking Peach meme shit is more the people that starts the "going to shit" instead of him, fam. He's at least being on topic when he shows up. People just don't wanna talk Sonic and rather shitpost using him as an excuse.

>>6535 S3K's soundtrack is super comfy, yeah. Damn shame Taxman 3K never ever.

>>6536 not really. All he ever posts these days is art and theories. He used to post about his weird abusive friends and college or something but mods delete all of it since it's off topic. Most people stopped indulging him and just tell him to get help or ignore him. The only time he was legitimately annoying was when he first started showing up and would post long rants, argue, and never take into account what people said. He seems to be a bit better now or he just gets ignored.

>>6536 How is what he says bad? All he does is post his theories and stimulate discussion because of it. It's ON TOPIC, and yeah, it may be annoying, but at least it isn't malicious, or waifufagging, or straight up the Peach-Bowser trash that the SHITTY FUCKING MODS didn't even delete. I don't get people who get bothered by this shit, what the hell do you want people who want to discuss Sonic to do? It's the PEOPLE who are getting annoyed that are the problem.

>>6534 There's a lot of dumb idiots from SSMB on 4/sthg/ I could recognize them by their posting style and Sparky isn't the worst of them

>>6537 >shitty fucking Peach meme shit That sounds recent. I haven't been on /sthg/ for many months, I'm talking about how it was back when he started joining the thread and afterwards. Sorry if I don't find his dumb rants enlightening. holy fuck, I actually forgot that dumb thing he always was repeating, God bless! >>6539 That's more in line with what I remember, but man was it really, really annoying. I wouldn't just believe people actually started ignoring him, people were never able to ignore anything that was posted there, it never worked. I still don't believe he could bring anything good to the table.

>>6543 I like it because it reminds me of the early 2000s fandom when people could think and not worry about the cringe patrol who screencapped peoples post and made fun of them for thinking outside the box

>>6434 Why is a rematch even needed?

>>6541 Oh yeah, it was a bit surreal to see them bring up the place after imageboards were once known for having a nasty rep. Still do somewhat, but have only gotten bigger over the years because of that attention. >>6538 Still have my S3&K PC Collection disc. Along with the alternate tracks being included ina hypothetical port, I hope we get the 1&2 StealthTax versions off mobile eventually.

>>6545 Nostalgia hype. It's funny cuz somehow the moment I say they say "A classic battle returns", I thought it was going to be Mario verses Sonic again, and I was right. I don't know how I knew, but hey.

morning bumb

>>6548 Morning anon. Morning /sthg/

happy thursday, /sthg/. hope you all are having agreat sonic-related day today

>>6441 The Sonic Reborn discussion is the best thing to come out.of that thread.

Amy is a dyke now, thoughts?

>>6555 Bigger question, why was it right to make the princess get men but normal woman are gay? That's more a question I'd rather ask.

>>6556 Because there is no reason for the gift of yuri to be enjoyed only by royalty. But the men need someone so they get a princess.

>>6555 I hope /fast/ takes it better than the 4chan general currently is

>>6558 A negative of this place becoming more active is that shitposters from 4/sthg/ are gonna try & come here to start the exact same shitposting. Thankfully, we do have some decent moderation around here, so we can hopefully ensure this place stays away from the typical stuff that shits up 4/sthg/

If you had to pair Amy with anyone who isn't Sonic or a girl who would it be ?

>>6560 Metal Sonic

>>6558 >currently is Explain

>>6558 What do you mean? Did something new surface?

>>6562 You're better off just taking a look for yourself, it's kind of a mess. And I'd rather we don't spend all the time talking about 4ch being shit Anyways, this kind of got swept under the rug: On Target's website, a pre-order for trades of the Knuckles comic appeared & it seems like the people publishing this are the same publishing the IDW omnibuses. Here's the link: https://www.target.com/p/sonic-the-hedgehog-presents-knuckles-the-echidna-archives-6-paperback/-/A-53998072

>>6564 I'll just drop it. I'm not going back there right now. But anyways, it's weird seeing render model Knuckles in a way that's A: used for a comic cover and B: with lighting like that.

>>6565 IIRC, that Knuckles render came from Rafa-Knight, but it's odd that someone's bothering to sell trades of Penders comics, especially after all the shit that's gone down.

>>6564 I saw this a couple months ago. I wonder if they schedule products to go live and just forgot to remove this one. I can't imagine Sega wants anything to do with Archie anymore, especially anything Penders was directly involved with

Okay, what the hell. Decided to see how this board was doing, since I haven't been here since around its inception. Why the fuck do you guys have a general thread? This entire board is a goddamn Sonic general.

>>6568 What's the problem

>>6569 I mean, I guess it isn't technically a problem, but it honestly feels like you guys just can't let go of how /sthg/ worked.

>>6570 >>6568 It's picked up activity & has been pretty nice for the last month or so, so eh.

>>6568 Hey anon, long time no see. We have a general because we're still not a lot of people and it's easier to just have everything in one place while we wait more people to join the fun.

>>6572 That too. Obviously if we'll get big enough more activity outside of this thread will be had, but for now it's a solid general thread for everything Sonic while get get this board going.

Thoughts on Sonic Xtreme? I wish it made it out of development hell. Tiara-Amy-Sonic would have been something to see.

>>6578 1. it would've gotten bodied by Mario 64 2. if they wanted a female character playable why the fuck couldnt they just use amy

>>6579 >why the fuck couldnt they just use amy Not "girl power" enough. Tiara's big characteristic was that she stood toe to toe with Sonic, which is hilarious when you consider that most of the Xtreme story ideas involved her getting kidnapped.

>>6579 I think it would have been received worse than Sonic Adventure, honestly. The fisheye camera lens didn't help and, Amy was supposed to be playable but yeah..Americans didn't like Amy for some reason since they always made other love interests in place of her. Wonder why that is.

>>6582 Man, I really fucking want a full version of that mix.

>>6580 >>6581 so the character who's literally pink sonic couldn't stand toe to toe with sonic, but this dipshit dimestore sally ripoff was gonna take the world by storm

>>6579 Amy was gonna be in X-Treme, but I don't remember what role she was gonna have. >>6578 It would've been interesting to see what the game would've been like, but all the same it was probably gonna fall to SM64, due to the weird fisheye lens gimmick. Still, it's something I kinda wish we could've seen finished.

>>6580 >>6585 I wonder why they couldnt use the pink Sonic thing literally like Okay redesign her so she doesn't look LITERALLY like pink Sonic but what if her personality was "girl Sonic"? She is easily bored, with a thirst for adventure and excitement like him, impulsive, street smarts, make a lot of acquaintances, ect. Is there a girl character in Sonic like that anyway?

>>6582 Full OST Tee Lopes x Jun Senoue mashup when?

>>6587 I mean, Amy kinda was like that in Adventure being bored by her normal day to day life & missing going on adventures with Sonic, as well as making friends out of Birdy & kinda Gamma.

>>6589 yea i was gonna mention that boy I liked how she was in Adventure. her official page says that too. I wonder why they got rid of that so fast…

>>6590 Probably because of her no longer being playable, sadly.

>>6546 >Still have my S3&K PC Collection disc. I wish I had the Garfield collection

>>6564 I don't get it, this can't realistically be happening. What's the trick? >>6567 What's interesting is that it doesn't say Archie anywhere. Was Archie's stuff also published or related to Random House publishing?

>>6594 >What's the trick? I honestly don't know. This thing just popped up on Target randomly with no explanation. The only thing I guess we can do is just wait until its release date comes.

>>6595 Maybe we could ask Penders. Penders always knows.

>>6596 I dunno…

here my please ian flyn and sonic team

>>6598 But Jackal Squad was in a comic.

>>6599 I need them in more comics and to be canon

Okay bros.. I hated Infinite until I realized his personality and design is similar to my OC i made.. Now i'm sort of infatuated with him Send help

>>6601 anon no That won't end well!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7-bDBDgOUo >>6601 No

>>6601 embrace it

>>6601 Make him Infinite but with a good backstory and he actually uses his powers right.

I drew Breezie and something no one asked for: Female Chaotix

>>6606 >Female Chaotix >no one asked for Please, I've known for years Mighty would be best girl. Nice work, too.

>>6606 I'm sure someone wanted FemEspio.

>>6578 I feel like it'd be completely ignored by Sonic Team if it ever came out.

>>6600 Did you not play Shadow's story in Forces? They are canon.

>>6606 Did Sonic ever have a hippo character?

>>6603 His theme was the only good thing to come out of Forces.

>Internet freaks out for about the bowsette meme for about a week >just as the hype is going down nintendo happens to release their concept art for a bowsette like character years ago >T-this is totally not a marketing scheme it just happened naturally right? heheeheh Who was the person that pointed this out again?

>>6611 Why do you ask that?

>>6607 Thanks!

>>6616 Cute sleepy rat

>>6614 Vector looked like one on the thumbnail

Here's some Halloween merch!

>>6618 lol Well, no but that would be interesting

>>6613 >>just as the hype is going down nintendo happens to release their concept art for a bowsette like character years ago You're joking right? This can't be real. In the sense they JUST happen to reveal such a thing in the first place, right now of ALL times. Anyone knows how to do italics on words?

>>6619 neat. Is it japan only?

>>6621 When is Nintendo going to be called out for their shills god damn it

>>6622 I don't think it is. Would be nice if we get some more cool Modern Sonic merch over in the West, tbh.

Halloween's coming, anons. Do you expect anything from Sonic Channel, or some cool official Halloween art?

>>6625 Anything from Sonic Unleashed. So Werehog, Dark Gaia, or things with Chip in a costume would be pretty cool.

>>6625 hopefully something Sonic Unleashed related from Japan. Maybe Pumpkin Hill or even Hang Castle/Mystic Mansion. That would be cool. For the US side we'll probably just get a picture of Classic Sonic holding a pumpkin or something

>>6621 Double ' (single quotes). You can enable a formatting toolbar for the reply box on the options menu (upper right corner), as well as formatting shortcuts like in any word processor (ctrl+i, ctrl+s for spoilers, etc.).

>>6625 >Sonic Channel They seem to hate fun like that these days unfortunately. We used to at least get the wallpapers Halloween themed for October, but that's also not the case anymore. US social media will probably post some Classic Sonic themed Halloween art closer to the date. Here's October's pic by the way. Silver a cute nonetheless.

>>6628 Huh, neat Thank you kind anon

i don't expect any breakthroughs, but fuck it. i cant upload any images. theyre always stuck at around 25% how do i fix this shit?

>>6631 You can't? Lemme test

>>6630 Bump is neat.

How yall doing

>>6634 Doing good. I'm alone on a Friday night, but it's pretty comfy. How about you, anon?

>>6635 Pretty tired honestly Drawing tho

>>6634 doing great. I'm trying to design a Sonic themed Christmas ornament for my autism Christmas party this year

>>6635 Oh hey that reminds me. I always forget about posting this and realize I have forgotten on Saturday nights.

What do you guys think of my doodles I'm the few person who constantly posts their doodles here (its in that cartoony style) so I'm wondering if you guys don't mind seeing more of them

>>6639 You did >>6606 ? I like 'em. Wouldn't mind seeing some more doodles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG3tCQHB5Rw Is Metroid the Sonic of the Nintendo franchise?

>>6641 what does this mean

>>6640 yes

>>6642 It was meant to say "Is Metroid the Sonic of the Nintendo franchise" before it got messed up format wise by the embeded video, if that's what you mean. Don't know why it did that though If you mean the question itself, a lot of what makes Metroid works line up exactly to Sonic's problem, from its appeal to how Japan seem to forgot how it worked just because it doesn't sell Mario tier money.

>>6606 female charmy is cute and more likeable than regular charmy

>>6644 Why do Japanese hate it when their stuff gets bigger in the west than in their home countries? I truly believe Sonic would have been either on the same level as Mario or a little bigger up to this day in the West if they played all their cards right and executed that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDNz342v_qA

>>6648 japan is dumb

This is annoying and hard to do and I don't know how to mix colors It's been 2 weeks..

>>6652 Just keep trying, anon. >>6644 I think when it comes to companies & understanding how it works, people should keep in mind who's working on what particular games as well as the development history of each title. As Sonic 06 showed, ambitious titles can be fucked over heavily by a large number of factors.

>>6653 I think the ambitious was fucked over due to lack of focus and direction. The idea wanted to be taking seriously, both in and out of the game's world, but in the end, did 06 truely reflect on Sonic's roots like say, Mario Odessy did? Although Unleashed doesn't really reflect the Genesis era much at all (outside of Sonic's characterization in areas) but it does rememince certain elements of CD and 2 (visuals and high speed focused gameplay). I think the issue is truely knowing when to not go "troo far" and use what you can use inside of a common mold. Case in point, Utopia and Islands do that Adventure 2 and Heroes didn't. Both take elements from Sonic's roots, but the fan games focus moreso on those roots while the official titles don't capitalize on them and only throw more fluff on top of it like spectacle and story telling.

>>6654 I wonder if they thought something was wrong with Sonic's roots, to the point they only understand it as "Sonic 1", to do a hard reboot on all of it. Just fucking why?

>>6654 I really can't blame Sonic Team for not having much focus or direction with 06, considering how much shit was going on during the games development. From the team being split twice (once to make Secret Rings & again when Naka left SEGA while taking part of 06's team with him), to the game having a ton of ideas they had no chance of implementing in time. It was moreso salvaged than it was shat out. That type of stuff can happen a lot more often than people realize & it's always something to consider, imo.

>>6656 Why the fuck did Naka leave, could you imagine if Miyamoto left? Why did they always disrespect Sonic bros.. the West always loved him more..

>>6655 Like with Metroid, it doesn't sell as much as Mario or Zelda in figures. Sonic was massive in the West, but the Japanese really only like Sonic as a Mascot of SEGA, not really for his games. >>6656 That is true. It's just a shame most of the people that tried with Sonic back then (Unleashed) moved on or left the industry. Instead of looking at what when wrong and try to build back the trust, they all get overlooked in favor for Kishimoto.

>>6658 So they thought "IF THE JAPANESE DOESNT LIKE IT AS MUCH THEN ITS NOTHING" So fucking stupid. God I hate the Japanese

>>6657 Naka left mostly because of burnout. The dude was working on the series since the very beginning & eventually, he wanted to move on so he can do other stuff. He's still a fan of the series though & has given support to some of the more recent titles. And iirc, he still hangs out with the likes of Iizuka & Nakamura sometimes. >>6658 Yeah, Japan sees Sonic as more of SEGA's mascot than SEGA's top IP. Can't really blame them either, given how big the likes of Hatsune Miku & other series are over there. >>6659 I honestly think you're getting the wrong messages out of this. There's a lot more to what's going on with the franchise & the mistakes that's been made than just "hurr durr the Japanese." Hell, TSR is suffering from the same problem that Forces suffered from in it being a game made by an entire team of practical newcomers instead of those who made SASR & SASRT.

>>6663 Eww, worms.

>>6660 >Yeah, Japan sees Sonic as more of SEGA's mascot than SEGA's top IP I wish the west saw Sonic as Sega's mascot more often too. It's pretty cool how when you take a look at Japan's side of SEGA how Sonic is in everything.

>>6664 You know you love them, Sonic.

>>6639 I love any and all doodles.

I completely forgot about this board. I missed you all.

>>6669 Sup anon, long time no see

>>6670 The modern looks more classic than the classic on this pic

>>6671 Classic is Generations Classic Sonic. Ova is closer to Jap Box art. Modern is Adventure/Unleashed Sonic.

>>6674 >MugiMikey's retarded ass with his obnoxious humor and his shitty artstyle Is this the only faggot consistently making Sonic animations? Seriously?

>>6675 I'd say that isn't 3D, yeah… Most Sonic things say to the semi rare sprite fight and the more numerous 3D stuff. And only the sprite fights were ever good to me.

>>6676 that's sad Wait for my animations one day.

>>6677 As someone that wants to getting that myself, godspeed anon

>>6678 You too, man

I wish we could get more cool merchandise like this. It doesn't need to be F4F levels of quality but something interesting like this particular diorama would be nice. I'm tired of Sonic just standing around in Green Hill Zone

>>6680 Those are some sweet statues. And yeah, I'd like to get more stuff besides GHZ-themed merch. Some stuff based off of other famous levels would be pretty cool.

>>6668 i hate how it mentions her beauty, like if shadow wasnt tryna get his dick wet, he wouldn't have cared so much

>>6682 Well, Maria IS cute…

>>6682 Shadow didn't like Maria that way!

>>6682 It's so you know she's actually supposed to be attractive, despite the terrifying model she has.

>>6685 You make it sound like it was on purpose, every human model except Eggman looked like pure shit before Unleashed. SA1 was just passable.

>>6686 >You make it sound like it was on purpose I meant to make it sound like it was an excuse. Like a "we know we fucked up all the humans, but trust us, she's pretty we swear!"

>>6687 Deep down I knew what you meant, but boy did those games not do realism + huamsn well. Maybe, just maybe, the series ages better not doing that, since many other furry mascots learn that for themselves. I wish someday someone would make a perfect hd Maria..

>>6680 I hear ya, man, and it's not even necessary for things to be complex like that to be interesting. Sometimes I see pictures of Japanese shops and everything looks so much better designed. Most things west side look pretty bland.

>>6689 It's because games and "figures" are considering toys for kids in the West. I don't know if this isn't USA exclusive, but the west is still controlled by old fat asses that think having a statue of something you like that's fictional makes you childish.

>>6639 I don't think it's a problem so far, it's not overwhelmingly usual and it creates discussion. It gets really peeving to me when people flood with their artwork so thanks for asking.

>>6669 We missed you too anon.

>>6692 3rd best bot boy

>>6652 That looks like a pain in the ass to complete. Maybe try with something simpler while you learn and experiment?

>>6658 It's awful that not only the people that made a good attempt left but also that the people that make awful attempts with no thought in them are left to continue making them instead of at least trying with someone else that had better ideas and that actually wanted to create something detailed and with forethought.

>>6695 B-but anon, Sonic Colors and his creator, Morio Kishimoto, was the best thing for Sonic's 3D era…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kD_QhYgIA4 A couple of things from the reboot R&C game kinda makes me think of Forces tbh… It almost feels as if they ripped off elements from it for Forces. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. Also sorry for the long vid, but I was watching this on the fly and realized a lot of things I see in Sonic.

>>6697 Probably just a coincidence. But SEGA taking inspirations from other games & implementing it in their own isn't a new thing.

>>6694 I just ended up doing simpler colors. When I'm done in approx 2-4 days I will post.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvA5kk3MQMI I really hope the next Mania-like game has Falk being more involved with the music.

>>6698 Well what's interesting is how R&C started in 2002, 1 year after Sonic Adventure 2, which introduces Rail Grinding as a mechanic. Which R&C uses too, thought the idea isn't really all that new, but in platformers it's not common before Sonic did it. What's funny is how it kinda works like how Modern era does since Unleashed, almost like Sonic copied Rachet who "copied" Sonic.

>>6701 Huh, never thought about it like that. In that case, Rachet & Clank/Sonic crossover when?

>>6702 Likely never because both characters' movies killed any chances of that…

Describe Sonic.

>>6705 Ugly & slow

>>6705 Red and dumb.

>>6705 big stupid idiot

>>6705 He worked better in eras where the culture is cool and not just memes and meta humor.

>>6705 He's a walking and talking blue stuffed animal.

>>6710 Is that why he looks so huggable?

>>6712 Yup >>6711 Poor dead plantgirl

>>6712 Sonic is for hugging.

>>6714 Werehog Amy looks so fluffy

I miss Yuji Naka…

>>6717 Same

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpnoGGY1U1w Soon brothers…

>>6719 Happy to see so much progress with Unleashed in the various emulators.

>>6716 Awesome day. Sad there's probably never going to be another one.

>>6719 Oh shit, more progress has been made? Fucking sweet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS1pEzkwpRY >>6719 Oh wow, is it time to start backing things up before the C&D? Also, I just got heavy flashbacks to the old comfy nights we used to have. Shit.

>>6723 SEGA never C&D anything else there's profit involved.

>>6725 *Unless, not else

>>6725 Given that it's an emulator, all kinds of parties could do the C&D besides SEGA.

>>6727 Roms are illigal, not emulators. They aren't Nintendo enough to go to every hosting site of a Unleashed Rom and get rid of it. And Nintendo makes it obvious if you haven't noticed that when they do that, it's at the expense that they themselves are going to rerelease these games on their own hardware. It's exactly happen to AM2R with the Metroid 2 remake for 3DS.

>>6727 And why would non SEGA companies C&D a Sonic game for? They don't own Sonic Unleashed.

>>6729 I think he's saying companies could C&D the emulator itself.

>>6728 >Roms are illigal, not emulators Maybe, but being threatened by a huge company is still a good deterrent in most cases. >They aren't Nintendo enough to go to every hosting site of a Unleashed Rom and get rid of it This would be more annoying than concerning. The important thing is the emulator, it's the only thing that can make Unleashed be playable on PC. Getting the game will always be an easier task.

>>6731 >>6730 Oh, I didn't know that. Well I hope it doesn't shit the bed. Usually people just put these things in secret MEGA/Torrent site links to keep it alive somewhere if something like this happened, so here's hoping for the positives.

Just wanted to say, I did finally got my new tablet pen, but it came in one day late, and tomorrow, I gotta do jury duty… So I'll try drawing B&S stuff when thats' all over. Sorry about that. But I did clean up something old with the time I had left, so here's a link of it since it's kinda lewd and this site seems to have a tighter rule about that kind of thing, so yeah. Hope you like it. https://mega.nz/#!RMEWlQRB!JyFKIS3C-5poEwTj7eTrkS1QedJgkSKJg4osQYDg-24

>>6734 >Bump in Sally's clothes I'm surprised at the lack of pics like there. Great stuff, m8. >jury duty Oof, good luck.

>>6734 >pic That's one god damn adorable Bump. Sorry to hear that you have to do jury duty, that sounds awful, but I'm sure people are going to be excited whenever you can deliver Bump and/or Sage art! >yfw one of us is actually judging someone irl

>>6738 The first pic is pretty cute. I love the idea of Sonic & friends having their own chao's.

>>6738 >>6739 Not to be rude but the fanart thread is here >>4560 >5th picture, second post >silver will never get his own game

>>6741 I actually forgot that thread existed. Having said that, I kind of like posting in this one more, the other one feels too much like a dumping place, like if posting new pictures didn't make a difference.

>>6742 True, but it also gives me a place to put some pics that's been on my PC for a while.

>>6743 Sure, I wasn't saying you shouldn't post there or something. I've posted there myself as well.

IDW #9 uploaded! https://mega.nz/#!Hl5FECAB!zhyi3_aq_wOr7TiZ178D9Sjo_C6ojyPlZLIoKeDCLZw https://mega.nz/#F!65oBCaoQ!8lkn8JebzaZensDJbLxDeg

>>6745 nice. thanks comicanon

>>6734 Cutie. Nice Bump, anon.

Is there any pictures of Sage with her "true" colors? Like, a sheet like pic related but with colors by the original artist?

>>6749 What do you mean with "true" colors? Isn't she depicted with consistent colors most of the time? That's probably as "true" as it's going to get given how they were created as a collaboration.

>>6749 I don’t think there is a pic like that.

Left or right?

>>6743 I want to get this game now just so I can make Eggman punch out everyone. >>6752 Left. Right has better and smoother graphics overall but going off only the face left doesn't look like her face has to change as much to allow for the smile while still staying in style and looking good. Sure the graphics aren't as good but I personally don't mind it, I like the original look of SA1.

>>6752 Is this a trick question left

>>6750 I get rather picky with my colors in art and like picking from the original sources. Isn't there a pic of Safe that was drawn for the first time? Or is it lost to the sands of time? >>6752 At the right angles, right. If I had the pic of the moment where she goes "My Hero" she looks hot

>>6755 Oh, the first Sage pic? It's actually available on the booru, I just gotta find it.

>>6755 Oh, right. Yes, I can source you the first pictures that were drawn of her, but it's gonna have to be after I get home later today if that's okay.

>>6752 Right looks nice, but left is cuter

Does post Unleashed Amy look attractive design wise? Or is the older models better?

>>6759 The older models have shorter and thicker bodies, more pleasant shapes [the head isn't perfectly round, the body isn't perfectly cylinder, the limbs aren't long and lanky], longer muzzles, and visible fangs. I think the 1991-1998 designs of Sonic are just simply better for all the reasons I stated.

>>6760 I feel the same, even though I like some of the conversations of modern design. Maybe some artists could do something to harmonize both?

>>6761 Which parts of the Modern you like? I do like the tallness, I think the tallness and the thickness would look good together

>>6762 The height makes them feel older, but in the sense that they would never he actually adult human height like in some fictions I've seen. Vanilla is just a couple inches taller than Chris, and Modern Sonic should be taller than he is in X, somewhat Chris height now, imo. But otherwise, I just like them feeling like older characters, that grew up with me. It's just how they are styled with lanky and noodle body parts that makes them look bad, sans 06 and Riders. Pic related is the best Modern with those limitations can look, now give them better preposition appendages and the cast would look perfectly fine. One thing I'd like back is the 90s box art coloring/shading, and have that emulated into the 3D models.

I posted a Bump drawing I think a thread or two ago that I said I would finish coloring. Well, I was using that drawing as a test bed for a coloring process that ultimately became a pain to work with, so I didn't finish it. But here is a goth bump for the thread.

Welp. God saved my ass from Judy Duty and I got out early. Which means I'm totally fucked next time I get called in, lighting ain't striking twice for me But yeah, I'm home again. I'll be doing some bumpin and sagin'. See ya'll in a few hours.

>>6764 >Goth Bump w-wew lawd Nice pic, anon.

>be back from work >new Bump art >>6755 I think these were the first colored pictures of her. The idea of her having a pillow came after the first picture was posted if I remember correctly.

>>6764 Can you add spiky bracelets to her? Not sure if that's goth though, but from the thumbnail I thought the shine on her bracelets were spikes and I thought that would be cute as hell.

>>6768 Oh, spike braclets are definitely goth-ish in nature.

>>6765 >anon gets to skip jury duty >we get Bump and Sage art It's a win win. Looking forward to your pic when you finish it!

>>6765 >Skipped jury duty Nice. Looking forward to your Bumps & Sage's

What was your reaction to this and what did you do when you found out?

>>6772 Like most people, I was just taken aback by how fucking huge Knuckles was in this pic. And man, what a depressing pic this is in hindsight.

>>6764 Nice.

>>6767 Same feels. And yeah, it's like anything SEGA say "this is Sonic's greatest year" or something, you get Sonic 2006 or Boom. Or even Sonic 4.

>>6775 It's like they keep making grand promises they can hardly keep, and then put games through development hell in a vain attempt to meet them.

>>6772 I hated them when the designs were revealed and I still hate them today. Tails looks okay. Amy looks all right but her outfit always reminds me of the pink girl from Lazytown. Sonic looks bad. Knuckles looks horrible. It's been years and I still can't get used to them.

>>6777 I don't mind some of the Boom designs, but Sonic's forehead in Boom is so big. Kinda throws me off.

>>6778 I hate his forehead so much. It's like they tried to make him cuter to appeal to younger kids with the bigger forehead and rounder eyes but it just comes off as weird looking.

So random

>>6764 Cute

>>6782 Nice, but the stripes on Amy's boots should probably be white instead of yellow

>>6783 Eh i just made it yellow based on a design error I saw on her before and liked it. Then again her appearance is quite unconventional as it already is… so I might edit it anyway.

>>6785 Ah, alrighty then

>>6772 Thought it was gonna be a reboot and didn't like it. Obviously overreacted, but man Boom just didn't work. SEGA wanted it to be big, but they fucked it up right from the start with the games not being up to snuff… again.

>>6784 Ratdow

I noticed it's half chans birthday again. Does 8ch have these kinds of things too?

>>6787 I dont get how they thought those designs were appealing in the first place

>>6790 It's because they were using the base/alpha designs for referecnes which had SOnic and co look like some abstactive mix between literal hedgehog and disney esque elements that just name off like a Lilo and Stitch ripoff. So SEGA came in and told them to fix their shit, and so Sonic Team took some of their shit and added Modern cast on top. And likely thanks to that outburst in disapproval, they likely took it too far and nitpicked the fuck out of Big Red Button's progress to the point the game shat itself. Basically it's really SEGA's fault for saying "give them freedom" and then got triggerd they gave them something they wasn't looking for.

>>6789 I dunno if they do, but I mostly pay attention to /fast/ as opposed to most of the site. But this site having something like that would be nice

>>6789 Yes, they do so on /v/ at least. NeoGAF burned down around the time 8chan turned 4 last year, funnily enough.

>>6794 Turn on the machine.

>>6796 Pls don't Also bump limit has been reached, I'll set up the new thread in the morning

>>6745 What's the password?

>>6804 /sthg/ >>6802 Looking forward to it! >>6787 I don't know if it was an overreaction. It's easy to say that knowing how things played out but back then things were not do evident, and then again the reaction the subfranchise got might be responsible to some degree of its outcome.

Okay, new thread: >>6808

>>6809 Thanks anon

What color is Sonic's dick?

>>7150 Blue, with a pink head
