"This blue sky... staring at it from afar, have I seen it before?"
- Shadow the Hedgehog (2005)

you can't start such a thread with sonic shit, because it just turns into a sonic autist thread, which i suspect was the original intent

Look at all those Eggman's robots!

I believe this era of Sonic was intentionally invoking the anime dub style of writing in the English script to be more fashionable. Hence why there's several lines in SA2 where the characters speak the Japanese onomatopoeias.

if you can't understand that phrase. seek help

This isn't ESL?

>>713536704 (OP)
It's called flowery language, Mr. ESL.

>you can't start such a thread with sonic shit, because it just turns into a sonic autist thread
good

>>713540071
It literally doesn't make sense.
How the fuck is he contemplating whether he's seen the fucking sky? Of course he has seen it before.

>>713540106
It reeks of direct translation. The sentence is structured properly, but its contents is nonsense if it's to be taken literally.

>>713540563
>>713541017
He's not talking about the sky itself, he's talking about the sky, framed within a memory.
He's recollecting.
Please stop getting filtered by sonic.

"have I seen it before" is a metaphor for "have I enjoyed my life in a simple, satisfactory way?", because his life was nothing but constant battles against good and bad guys and for the brief moment he wondered if he ever did such a simple thing as enjoying a sunny day

>>713541250
>the sky
>framed within a memory
Lmao, no he isn't. It's sonic.
He probably means how there was no sky in the moon.

>>713536704 (OP)
>We're on our way to the ARK, so guess that means we're going too!
This game had such a weird translation

>>713542185
Or after the fact he fell from space after saving the planet and lost his memory, dingus.

>>713540563
have you ever been officially diagnosed with autism?

this level deserved a better game

>Not just a race... But a special race, to see who's the fastest.

>>713543446
what did eggman mean by this

>>713543481
He's racist.

>I do know hurt.

What did Sonic mean by this...

>>713543924
Egg pun

>>713543924
he's going to fuck eggman in the ass

>>713536704 (OP)
He saw it in Skies of Arcadia

>>713543756
That one is perfectly fine because it's using "Hurt" as a noun. Re:Coded is the game that line is referencing and the back half is entirely about Data Sora exploring "hurt" as a concept.

>>713536870
its fine by me

>>713536704 (OP)
This was an awful translation that flat out didn’t even convey the same message as the jap version

>>713546436
What was the message, anon-kun?

>>713540320
That sounds pretty lame!

>>713540563
Isn't Shadow a lab rat made to be like Sonic? I assume he's talking about the sky he once saw from the confines of a laboratory. Although he seems to be close to the sky.

>>713546529
Is Sonic advocating for ending the world?

>>713543446
I like the thought of someone writing this line for a character with 300 IQ

>>713543384
Final Haunt and Digital Circuit too

>>713546529
Why did the Story Book games had such kino final battles and final forms?

>>713546517
Shadow doesn’t want anything to do with his old identity and abandons it completely.
There’s a bit near the end where the government in the dub flat out say Gerald should be honored despite his SA2 actions. In the dub it’s “let’s honor the victims of the ark”. Black doom doesn’t actually go into his motives in the dub
It’s not deep or anything but it’s different text, they’re saying different things

>>713543756
KINOOOOOOO

FrontiersSCHOLARS, how do we feel about the sequel? I hope they ditch the realistic shit and go for something more wacky.

>>713546674
A temporary world where you're free to do whatever you want > An endless world where you're under complete control by an outside force

Kino finale

>>713543246
isn't this Shadow one of the clones? I don't remember, Sonic lore got weird after Heroes

>>713548087
holy newfag

>>713548385
>Appeciates ending of a game
>Is newfag
What are you talking about?

>>713548330
No. Shadow in Heroes and Shadow are the original. Eggman was just gaslighting you in Shadow but admits he the truth in the final battle if you waste too much time

>>713548330
No, its just that one of Shadow's false endings in Shadow the Hedgehog is him getting gaslighted by Eggman into believing he is a clone.

>>713548750
>>713548780
>I find this out after 20 years
I always thought the original Shadow was dead
words cannot describe what I feel right now

>>713540563
genuinely retarded

>>713547886
I miss this Sonic.

superbly retarded OP but at least a good sonic thread came from it

>>713546189
>ACKSHUALLY
nah, fuck off, nerd.

He doesn't bring it up until 9 minutes into the fight and Devil Doom is an easy boss so it's really easy to miss

>>713537209
>hello, Sonic Heroes(tm)!
Sonic Heroes genuinely felt lobotomized compared to SA2.

>>713540563
Actual p-zombie

>>713550165
get fucked faggot retard

>>713540563
imagine being too stupid for sonic dialogue lmao

>>713540563
It's obvious that he's talking about seeing it from the ARK but it's still an odd thing to say as he had the same viewpoint during Egg Fleet in Heroes.
>>713543067
This one is genuinely dumb.

>>713550027
I played through Secret Rings a few years ago and while it was shit it was refreshing to see Sonic genuinely fucking hate a villain.
