>Immediately has to dodge some glitchy Metal afterimages coming out of nowhere ala Phantom Rush from Frontiers
>Turn around to see Metal's limbs pulling themselves back together as he gets back up.

Your thoughts?
Of course he's a vorefag too
>>530790218Don't let Sparky see this
There are two half-lidded default expressions with the Shadow Gens model
https://youtu.be/VQ8QjQQ3SdU?si=0hddJQKdbo8L5V34
>>530790323Don't let crack see this
>>530790198I think Metal Sonic should build his own base and his own robots he designed and created himself to support and maintain him.
>>530790323More than that actually
Krack's headcanon of Shadow is dumb
>>530790198Add Metal infighting with himself (Sage) so she doesn't steal his kill like kids squabbling over a controller and I like the fight concept.
>>530790475Shadow doing team move like Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga never feels right, he's the kind of fighter that refuses to do that sort of thing
/sthg has had a lot of confusion and hopeless anger lately. I know we have our own styles and won't change, but it would be nice if you could open your hearts a little. It's gonna be alright.
>>530790475Oh, so that's what https://files.catbox.moe/1hg85g.mp4 was based off.
UUUUUUUUUUU TANGLE THE PANIC ATTACKS ARE COMING BACK

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>530791245>I accept your confession
>>530790809Don't make fun of her for it, her re-potty training is a slow process and everyone at the restoration has been working REALLY hard on helping Tangle's girlfriend make progress. She only does it five times a week now, it's getting pretty impressive.
>>530791449Mimic? He's dead Whisper. Remember? He died in the most unspectacular Disneyfied way imaginable because you're in a children's comic book that can't have on-screen deaths.

>>530791559Literally you can see him do half-lidded expressions in the manga. It isn't some Western exclusive thing
>>530791747UUUUUUUUUUUUUU IF HE'S DEAD WHY I CAN SEE HIM MOLESTING MY TANGLY???
>>530791349It is correct. Shadow is described as having a sharp gaze.
In games, especially SA2/Battle/etc, Shadow's eyes are almost always wide open because they're supposed to be very striking and give off a cold imposing impression. He's also often staring directly at or near you, the viewer, to purposely make you uncomfortable.
The half-lidded eyes usually come from women who want to make him feel a little "safer" and changing the striking glare to a lazy tired uncaring one that's never looking you in the eyes is a very easy way to do it. It subconsciously gives off a more submissive impression. He no longer looks so scary and unapproachable.
Also, it has been lost over time, but originally, Shadow was always on high places with the angle below him. His back is swayed and his posture is perfect. So when he looks down at the viewer from his perch above them, his striking red gaze looking straight into your soul, you can see feel he is superior to you simply through his body language. That element of him being on a high place with the angle below him was important because it gives you this subconscious feeling that you are beneath him.
Shadow's gaze is not supposed to be soft. It is not supposed to be lazy. It is sharp, alert, on edge, and most of all it's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable.
But anon, the word "almost" here is important. They're almost always wide open. There are of course going to be exceptions because Shadow is not a robot, and it's not an issue if it's done rarely/sparingly. It's when it's done all the time as his default that it's a problem. There's a difference between doing it 10% of the time and 90% of the time.
That's why your Heroes screenshot isn't and never will be a 'gotcha' as I've never claimed he *can't* do it, just that it happens far too often and it mostly originates from fanart.
Shadow doesn't emote as much as other characters, and it's part of his appeal to me. It's badass and makes him all the more mysterious.
>>530792035The only thing I can agree with you on is that yes it shouldn't be an expression he does 90% of the time. Everything else you say is dumb tho.
>The half-lidded eyes usually come from women who want to make him feel a little "safer"Lol really
>>530792035>schizo hallucinationsnigga inventing his own lore
Schizo sonic is the best sonic.
All of his friends are just holograms, everything is hallucination, he's alone destroying city after city pretending to stop a madman. Schizonic is cool.
>>530792204Yes, really. I've been collecting Shadow fanart for years anon, half-lid fanart is typically drawn the most by women who find him attractive. For whatever reason I find less fanart of half-lid Shadow drawn by men. Of course it exists but there's a difference in body language between when men and women draw Shadow.
Maybe it's just because the half-lids are hot.
>>530792027Because you keep forgetting to take your meds you dumb mutt. You also keep forgetting that you don't have a background.
>>530792710More like according to penders.
>>530792986I'm sorry. I shouldn't post before bed.
>>530792938Penders wanted him to end up with Amy. Mina was pushed for by Bollers to try and make his OC important after failing to get her shipped with Sonic.
>>530792331Sometimes I wonder if the whole Titan Tails thing left some sort of lingering trauma.
>>530793203>Penders wanted him to end up with Amy?
Beautifullestest boyo full of beautyness MY GOD HOW CUTE WE ARE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
I trawled b4k archive to compile every (audio) MP4 the Chronicles fangame guy posted ever since he started on February 17 of this year. Did this because since he's keeping a cryptic routine + I wanna have a quick "what is this" screenshot for those out of the loop:
anonpaste.com/share/sonic-chronicles-fangame-clips-f8245dfd24
Also wrote all he's sporadically said about it:
Concept
>RPG based on Sonic Chronicles & Sonic the Fighters. 104 characters. May add more, but not now.
>Characters use Dreamcast-era voices except the Chaotix, who use 4kids-era voices. There are alternate character versions with their 4kids voice. Silver's replaced with Marty McFly. Manic uses any Jaleel White lines from the DiC cartoons, Sonia's voice is replaced. Other voices are taken from various games (ex. Injustice Catwoman as Fiona).
Gameplay
>Barriers (from StF) can be used for extra turns, but make a character weaker if all lost. They recharge ala Bravely Default.
>Element system, but affinities are character-specific, not element-assigned. Blaze isn't water-weak but resists fire for example.
>[specials are via] POW meter similar to Chronicles, but can't be refilled by any kind of restoring item nor increases on level up; it's just the moves you get. [...] There are teammates who can refill like Sage, and hyper forms can refill. Debug mode can force refill, but besides that it can't be refilled normally. Certain moves like Chaos Blast erase it entirely.
Setting:
>Earth. No counterparts. Human NPCs primary (SA1 models for NPCs). Game & Movie locations. No comic locales. Pic related are some notes. Most recordings are in Central City & Reno. Story is nothing special, but won't say.
Dev team/Website?
>Just 1 guy. And no. Keeping the game's name secret (not a big one or anything, just want to keep it decently irrelevant until release is ready).
Status
>Bugfixes. Camera/Particle editing. Every character/animation is complete as is the battle system, dialogue system, cutscene setup etc
>>530793581Is that the fucking Sonic Movie 3 music in the intro
>>530793581Side note, when asked a few weeks ago (Jun 26th) when he thought he'd be done, he suggested "Winter": https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/528935174/#528941697
>>530793390Yes. It was originally planned for Tails and Amy to be a couple in future mobius. This is why she doesn't appear in Penders' run on the idea. The artists and Bollers ratfucked him by painting it with Mina instead. Malicious compliance.

>>530793581>https://files.catbox.moe/2re5dt.mp4 Legitimate question: why didn't we get this as the way to kill off Mimic in IDW? Hell, Ian just let Green Lantern use a Final Color Blaster in the crossover, and Whisper is significantly more justified since Wisps are her whole thing.

>>530795745Tailamy is serious business.
>>530796120>>530796440What's FNaF shit got to do with Sonic Underground?
>>530796120>>530796440I wonder if Fazbear scraped these this character in modern day
>>530796614They based their new hedgehog character off Sonic Underground
>>530796468The best ships always are
Maekawa is just as much of a hack as Flynn and /sthg/ needs to stop dickriding him just because he's Japanese.
Both of these faggots fundamentally hate the basic Sonic vs Eggman dynamic that made the series popular in the first place. Maekawa literally wanted to redeem Eggman after SA2 and turn him into a good guy, and the only time he came close to writing a proper Sonic vs Eggman story it was actually Metal Sonic in disguise (Heroes).
Flynn does the exact same shit. He admitted on Bumblekast that he actively avoids writing Sonic fighting Eggman because muh complex storytelling, and he constantly deflects to half-baked secondary villains. That or he makes Eggman a reluctant ally. Sometimes both.
They both create OC donut steels that completely step on existing characters' toes. Shadow was literally designed to replace both Knuckles as the rival AND Metal Sonic as the dark reflection of Sonic. He also stole Tails' role as Sonic's friendly rival who could meet and surpass his potential by being important with Chaos Control, something Maekawa bullshited and only allowed his own OC and Sonic to use.
Tangle does the same shit. She's supposed to be the "tough girl" but she steps all over Amy, Rouge, Cream, and Blaze's roles. The only reason people don't complain more about Tangle is because Flynn tied her to Whisper's sob story lesbian subplot.
Most importantly, both of them want to completely change what Sonic IS.
Flynn wants to turn mainline Sonic into his shitty SatAM fanfiction with muh Freedom Fighters and war stories. Maekawa wants to turn Sonic into some isekai anime bullshit. Neither of them actually wants to write SONIC stories. They want to write their own original nonsense.
Maekawa wants to make Sonic like a fucking Michael Bay movie, he was inspired by Armageddon to write SA2's nonsensical plot.
Flynn and Maekawa are the same type of pretentious hack, one just has nostalgia protection because he wrote during the "golden age."

>>530794706Because the writers are terrible and can't come up with anything exciting or creative or fun.

>>530799541No wonder he was scared inkless of Eggman if a bare endo can do that imagine the ass whooping a moto bug would give him
>>530794706Sonic characters are not allowed to directly kill others onscreen. Notice that this is the second time they made up a bullshit scene why the villain character died and the character that was attacking them didn't give the killing blow.
>>530800530I'm curious about Aleena and ninja Amy

>>530799541How does Mimic compare to this Mimic
>>530800028Thia feels way more alive. But probably because i'm a 2Dfag.
>>530800694Yeah - especially since she flashes Fleetway eyes eyes during her POWs.
>>530790294I don't want to see that.
>>530793581I noticed something
>Aleena the Hedgehog instead of Queen Aleena>Hope Robotnik instead of Hope Kintobor>Rob'o rose instead of Rob'o the Hedge>Some characters have logos instead of names>Some characters have little words on the screen
>>530800852>20 years ago>temporary shock value event that was undone in the same game
>>530801182As long as it's not a elder Mimic our Mimic can kill this one
>>530801560The storybook games also involved Sonic doing some direct kills (throwing Erazor Djinn's lamp in lava, slicing King Arthur).
>>530801560>moot point>moot pointThat doesn't negate anything
I'm glad Whisper didn't kill mimic. Killing should only be saved for if there is no other way to stop the bad guy, otherwise it loses all of its weight.
Mimic has emotional reasons to kill Mimic but not logical ones, he isn't some all powerful threat, he's just one murderer. If she killed him then she would be a murderer and even if she's justified the comic would have to spend time discussing that and we all know that's just not going to fit in a Sonic comic.
>>530801836Thing is, she absolutely was gonna blow his head off. Mimic just decided if he was going down, he'd take her with him.

>>530802592And then he did nothing but look like an idiot.
>>530801358I like this Tania redesign.
>>530802592>Evan: Just stand there and look cute. husbandos are not allowed to do anything but look goofy
>>530803029Ian wrote this issue.
Ian has wrote the past few issues and you guys are still trying to blame Evan. Tyson wrote all the Tailstubes and you guys tried to blame Evan. Do you guys actually have an idea of what Evan's writing style is?
>>530803976Don't look at me, I mentioned Ian by name when blaming him for missing opportunities over at
>>530794706
>Noooo! Please don't hurt my mommy!
Sonicbros...
>>530794706I think Ian should just move onto DC and superhero shit. He would flourish much more over there than trying to turn sonic into the capeshit he clearly wants to write. The people in that fanbase clearly love references more too
>>530804556capeshit is shounen
>>530804556I think Ian's under the Sonic curse that "nobody who works on it can ever find work elsewhere".
>>530804556>has no worldbuilding skills>the rest of his stuff is just the characters being overdescriptive referencing stuff and stating the obvious about who they areBecause he can only flourish inside an environment full of people with a taste worse than marvel/dc slop.
>>530804556>Ian leaves>Evan writes the games>Gigi and Barnes writes the comicsI hate to say it but Ian is the only thing holding this shitshow franchise together because the alternatives are just worse.
>>530805084It's like when people say they want a president dead and don't realize their vice president would take up the job and is likely much less moderate
>>530790216>>530790037Sonic is canonically a homosexual yes, but for who?
What if Doctor Eggman made an army of robots based on the Fantastic Four?
An entire army made up of the impossible, the invisible, the untouchable and the unbreakable.
>>530805084>they are all suicidal depressed ftm trannies with the emotional maturity of a 12 years oldeventually even if ian stays forever every self-respecting nomal male is already gone, they will leak inside and make the place more stinky
What if Mighty was not a character, but a transformation for Sonic? Like, Sonic gets some kind of armor upgrade and he turns into Mighty, with all that extra Power on top of his Speed for a short while, with a strong emphasis on being super durable and invulnerable?
>>530805084Ian never learns, Evan at least does.
>>530805489Evan is insecure. She cannot write Sonic as Sonic is a secure character and his friends are secure. Maybe if she's lucky she can write Tails as a treat.
Kill the comics, do it now.
Move everythingbto japan, or idk call the chinese slop makers at least they draw asses and boobs.
>>530805452Mighty is even more of a bottom than Sonic though
>>530805084>>530805361>suicidal depressed ftm tranniesIt's just Gigi. Barnes as annoying as he is on twitter, is still tolerable. He's doesn't write tumblrshit and often has takes that go directly against all the nonsense Gigi spouts. I'm praying his Chaotix issue is as well received as Scrapnik so he has a better chance at taking over than the depressed widow.
>>530805489>Evan>learningLike my father says, once you're born a circle you can't die a square.
>>530805084>BarnesHoping this nigger won't go along with all those white faggots in IDW. He's supposed to be our last chance in making sonic cool
>>530805669sure barnes is better despite being a black twitter broken buck, but still not the kind of racist nigger i want.
>>530805669>>530805921>>530806006Barnes is bitchy and racist but lowkey based. He wants stuff to be cool so I'm cautiously optimistic.
>>530805921The difference between a racist nigger and a racist white is the latter at least have a culture based on freedom of expression, but black twitter faggots are just crying bitches with a double standard.
>>530806006I don't care that he does wrongthink like Mike and Karen on social media as long it doesn't affect the stories of the shit they work on. He doesn't think Sonic should be relatable uwu slop which is marginally better than the rest of the idw team.
>>530806227>He wants stuff to be cool so I'm cautiously optimistic.So did Ian. Mind what someone's definition of "cool" is, because someone can easily miss the point or make things lame while genuinely thinking it's awesome (example: DMC after Adi Shankar got his hands on it).
>>530805084>insufferable coon>or>white troon
>>530791747He died via suicide bombing. Thus allowing Whisper the satisfaction of his death without actually staining her hands red and ruining her heckin wholesome lesbian relationship with Tangle. What a bro Mimic is.
>>530806476farewell, but mind you the scat whore will find a way to delete him
>>530805585>>530806476That reminds me, when's the next chapter of SatBoC coming out?
let me write Sonic (no restrictions or mandates). I will make an OC die at the end of each arc and I mean die, not "die" which is not the same. there's going to be a plenty of power levelling and violent plot lines
Archie ruined the franchise by allowing these talentless groomer fags to write for it
>the only halfway decent storywriter from idw (nothing special, just okay) is a racist nignog who does nothing but seethe about ytpipo all day and encourage trannyshit in children's media
>all the other idw storywriters are fucking WORSE
how did we get into this position dude
They should hire me. I would write Sonic into a relatable uwu crybaby, but at least it would be good.
>>530807059Archie and Maekawa.
>>530806489>So did IanBarnes is a shonentard unlike Ian. A level below windfag, but generally wants "hype moments and aura" which will still make Sonic look cool to new generation kids.
>one is a nigger asshole
>the other is an ftm tranny
>not a single normal person
>"at least one wants sonic to be..."
...their personal bitch for autistic and ideological motives, and hopefully the comic dies, fuck the american social tissue it's a dumpster fire, i can only choose between shit and slightly different shit that smells good.
>>530807184Don't fall for that clout shit, he was the first to push coleslaw cruncher joke.
>>530807337true as hell
i want the comic to burn at this point. it's a cancer infecting the main series
I fucking hate all of this fandom why am i even here
I should write Sonic
I will turn him into the shounen that he should be. but it will come at the expense of the current target audience. the steven universe people will drop sonic. but we will get shounen enjoying fanbase in its place.
>but kids....
kids love that shit, you don't know it. I loved violent stuff a 10yo
>>530807184See this is why I don't have much hope for Evan. She is listening to criticism, but I don't think she has want it takes to really understand the criticism. She only has a vague idea of "making Silver more serious" or showing his serious side with no execution of how that'll come to be while Barnes actually has a idea in his mind making Silver do something cool in front of kids
>>530807354Proofs? Isn't it the cookbook that Ian wrote that pushed the coleslaw shit
>>530807337There's only one solution that is to cancel this Steven Universe expy comic but you guys are bunch of faggots

>>530807668To be fair neither side can really describe Silver's character in the games beyond "he's serious" so that's the only feedback she's getting. I actually sent her an ask last night telling her that Silver is supposed to be a punk.
>>530807920This was right before "Silver doesn't act rude or disrespectful in any media in the history of the franchise". Ian didn't even know Silver liked apples when he wrote this.
>>530808001Surge was kinda cool when Ian was writing her.
I don't know why but i want bollers now.

>>530807184I don't like this because it's still approaching Silver like he's a blank slate.

Me and Sparky fighting for Ian's job to decide whether Sonic turns into a flawed crybaby or an undefeatable Gary Stu.
JP purism is based and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
>>530808935OOC, too masculine for Tails
Do you think ian has a sort of depression?
Like if i invested all myself to get in a position where i can write my favorite franchise as head writer with memorable moments, and then my legs are cut off, the world i loved is cancelled, sega mandates heavily according to business administration only instead of artistic reasons, the entire industry of people changes into ultra-homos and bitter single women and you have to take into account their feedback... idk i would feel pretty suicidal, just keep digging because i'm already there and i can't really switch a job.
>the comics
I haven't been keeping up with them for a long ass while to be honest
you guys wanna give me a quick qrd?
HE HAS DEPRESSION STOP SHITTING ON HIS WRITING IT'S ONLY OK TO DO THAT TO JAPANESE PEOPLE AND PONTAFF. IAN IS ONE OF US
>>530807668>>530809053What's coleslaw got to do with Silver being a homo anyway? Is it a bad food?

>>530809213What melon and chicken got to do with being an ape anyway? the answer is racism
>>530809395>What melon and chicken got to do with being an ape anyway? I've wondered about that too, honestly. Odd how they almost all like that stuff near-uniformly.
>>530801717>throwing Erazor Djinn's lamp in lavaI don't remember this at all. Didn't he just blow the lamp and then mountain of handkerchiefs?
Pushing Silver liking coleslaw is like pushing Shadow liking fried chicken and water melon
What Sonic game did you play today?
What mental illnesses does your favorite Sonic character have?
>>530809057>>530809174I think the people who religiously defend Ian are more fans of Ian himself than they are of Sonic
>>530799208It's been a while since I rapped my Jap, but these aren't set in stone, right?
I know for a fact Amy's "I" is sometimes subtitled asใ็งใ but I don't know if it's just because of translation of western material. Set the recent TailsTube to Japanese, for example. (And before anyone asks, TailsTube has officially translated subtitles, not auto-generated.)
>>530809156Well, you've missed a lot
So get this right, in 1993 DC killed off Superman, in a controversial but otherwise hugely profitable comic arc.
>>530809820some sonic the fighters earlier for shits and giggles
that's it
>>530809156What's the last thing you remember?
>>530809053>Makes a Silver is white joke after Ian ruined himI still don't think it's any serious cause for concern, he doesn't have interest in writing him lame. He knows to keep his twitter shit to twitter, he wouldn't have written Silver to like coleslaw for real like Ian did
>>530790037> you turned PINK bro.
>>530809213>What's coleslaw got to do with Silver being a homoIt's not a homo joke, it's a joke that white people like plain unseasoned food. They're lame and unflavorful. Ironically, he might just be making fun of how shit Silver's been written lately even if he's doing it in his typical "I hate white people" way. He doesn't want Silver to be seen like a lame white guy anymore
>>530810616>I would definitely love to write knuckles being all cool and shit! btw he's black because he likes grape juiceYeah no, i don't trust him anymore.
>>530807354>Don't fall for that clout shit, he was the first to push coleslaw cruncher joke.No, we did because /sthg/ has always been a racist piece of shit. Sometimes our stupid "jokes" just happen to seep to xitter for some god forsaken reason.
>>530809057I don't know for a fact, but I can attest that writers and creatives tend to be a suicidal lot. At a certain point, releasing something you crafted feels more like letting go of a baby you carried. Some people put on clown makeup to sell themselves, but deep down, they're always wondering if they can do better, and hope inwardly that the audience doesn't see through the cracks. Ian put on a clown show because his craft is all he knows and he's the sort that needs the attention to derl vindicated in his work. You think he too the crippling of BumbleKast well behind the scenes? He's putting on a show. That's all he knows.
>>530811138Nta, but he's been black since the fucking beginning in my eyes
>>530810853>it's a joke that white people like plain unseasoned foodThis is probably the most hard reached conclusion coming from ignorant niggers i ever heard. Italians, Scottish, even fast food restaurants are not flavors to these orcs, but dirt and water is
>>530811362The point being having the most racist reason be your excuse.
Sonic doesn't deserve Amy
And Rouge doesn't deserve Knuckles
They're both too pure, too kind, too good. They both deserve a healthy tradcath marriage and to have as many children as possible.
>>530811347What are the writers and creatives like in /sthg/? Are they depressed
I think Sonic Boom has my favorite depictions of every single one of the characters. The TV show. Not the game.
>>530812910Itโs because they actually have consistent personalities

>>530792768Hey, that Infinite looks pretty coo-
oh
oh...
>>530814548Christian Sonic...
>>530818865Yes, although human conflict can be honorable when regulated, rape is never honorable.
>>530818213Youโre a degenerate with no dignity
>>530819094He was the wind there

>>530819191Got it, you're a pearl clutching moralfag.
>he can't differentiate between fiction and real life
Really..
>>530819094He was right in the end though, wasn't he? If Tails was less of a dweeb, Fiona wouldn't have lost her way.
THIS. Right here? Is a writer writing what they know. Heartbreak. What-could-have-been. Etc.
>>530819609Conflict is competition, competition can also be a sport like boxing.
Rape is not the same thing, rape is a form of torture, and you don't need a moral system to recognize that since regulated conflict is meant for fitness while rape is fucking useless.
Ligma balls.
>>530819191Rape and child sacrifice is an honorable and patriotic pastime. If you don't agree then we'll send you to Prison Island.
I won't engage with the pedophile.
>>530820071You can not rape a fictional creature. Despite how hard to cry about it.
>>530820114For those sending you to jail is a job for sure.
>>530820287But i can freely call people generating that stuff a bunch of human failures who never grew up in their lives, because 99% of the time there's a loser neckbeard behind it.
So cry more because you're a faggot rapist and a coward, lol.
>>530820592There you go crying again.
>>530819094He's right in this instance
Tails fell head over heels for someone and it backfired and he got his heart broke
Sonic is a teenager in this and knows by this point that falling in love has it's downfalls and he worries that Tails might end up the same way, especially considering the age gap already present meaning that Fiona's probably not going to date him, and even without Fiona's heelturn, Sonic's just worrying about him.
Of course, slamming her fox ass into a tree later on doesn't exactly show "major concern for his friend" but Sonic's written in these to be fairly active in terms of a dating scene.
For everyone but Amy, for some reason. I think he goes on a date with her as a rebound thing when Sally goes with Khan but that was just cruel. She gets put on a bus for any future stories and by the time Sally is out of the picture in terms of a relationship we're in the era of Sonic is not with anyone ever

>>530807184>Yami SilverI see the vision
Marine is always willing.
She's the one raping you.
I have sexual fantasies with fictional underage characters and I want to have sex with them
>>530820873to be fair Tails wasn't torn up by Fiona not liking him back as he was Fiona turning into Sonic's new asskisser and Sonic cucking him. That's major humiliation for the only girl you like to say Sonic's better than you in every way, and for Sonic to fuck you over like that after all you've done for him.
Besides archie sonic knows nothing about heartbreak, he's a spoiled cunt. Every girl in knothole all simp for him.
>>530821589Well, she is Australian.
>>530821302for being anti-moral you're such a sensitive bitch, lol, do you also save pics of children? i bet, after all you have no morals, nobody likes you, and you'll die alone.

>>530821745We all have our flaws.
>>530821691And then she dumps Sonic for Scourge. I'll be honest. I found Fiona kind of boring when she was with the good guys.
>>530821835You think Marine ever called someone a cunt?
>>530821968That's even worse since Scourge was just a vehicle for Ian to wank off Sonic. "Hes you if you le stopped holding back" etc etc it was garbage. And even then she keeps flirting with Sonic, Ian just can't stop throwing girls at Sonic while Tails never finds a girl who heals that wound. He just has to go back to simping for Sonic too.
>>530822134Are you saying Scourge is windshit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgmOZym8cMA
Poster, you have served your purpose. Now face your screenshot. I am the all-consuming troll. What can one mote of genuine discussion illuminate within a flamewar? Countless posts. Countless baits. Countless (You)s. All given to me, all brought to tears. All the teeming topics of the general? Brought to rage. To toxicity. To nothing. I saw your intentions as you responded to my shitposts. You have ignored trolls and spammers alike. They were annoying....They were normies! I am autistic. I am obsessed. You struggle as so many lolcows have before. You will be baited and milked like all those before you. I saw your headcanons. Your reports never wavered. Why? Autism? Obsession? Retarded? I was contained once...Once. Is that why? The jannies bent their rules and code. The jannies built a whole ban system to contain me. The jannies burnt their paychecks away to fuel their bans. Will you?
>>530822134I've said it before. Ian self inserts as Sonic. he is your typical Sonicfag. if he could make dark Sonic a thing, he absolutely will.
>>530822251Yes.
Even when he speaks it's to wank off regular Sonic. "We could be le twin multiversal kings" is an actual thing he said and bullshit. When Sonic mentions him out of context like against the Iron Queen it's just to wank off himself as "Scourge took over his entire planet so I could le too if you make me angwy". Twas super cringe throughout
>>530822134Now that I think about it. I'm surprised he kept Tails and Mina together in X Years Laters. Even if the ship was kind of random to begin with.
>>530822126I like to think she mentally calls people every sort of slur, but she filters her language into something more proper. So mentally yes, but in reality she simply called them a dunderhead or something.
>>530822427If it helps you imagine why, Ian was the one who retconned X years later as never having been real, just an alternate timeline, and went on record saying he detested mina and tails being a thing cause of the le creepy agegap. Before Ian came on it was the real future. Then Ian kept Main Mina as Sonic and Ash's simp who never cares about Tails.
>>530800028Why is that retard splashing in the water? He can just run across it
>>530822542she called someone a gullysack once which is 'stralian for ballsack. funny how that gets past the censors lol
>>530793581Fiona's voice is a good match
>>530822598>Creepy agegapWe are introduced to these characters in their forties. Realistically they probably didn't actually interact much until they were adults
>>530822919didn't matter for Ian because they met when they were younger, etc etc.
Hell now that I remember it in Ian's mxyl Tails and Mina are immediately knocked out and don't do anything that entire arc while King Sonic saves the day. They don't even get any info about their lives or get to kiss like all the other couples do. It's obvious they were never gonna get any focus.
>>530823118also the only time when MXYL Mina says anything it's about Sonic. "Did Sonic save you kids? OH I gotta speak with Sonic again!" kek she ain't even allowed to talk about Tails
>>530822598To be honest. I'm kind of glad it's not the canon future. The original 25 years later, felt like it dragged. Like the world is ending and one part was dedicated one part was dedicated to Lara-Su and her friends having a slumber party, and I don't think it was ever explained why everyone acts all buddy-buddy with Lien-Da now. I know the Lara-Su Chronicles did come out, but I've heard the story is just set up with terrible art.
>>530822692IIRC, she used the word "bugger" a lot which led to the game getting a 12 rating in Europe. The original Rush was rated 3.
>>530823314interesting, about Marine. Didn't know she had such power
>>530822692That's because no one really understands Australianese. I thought Gully sack was some sort of obscure sailor curse related to seagulls being annoying or something.
Still, love this lil' occasionally potty-mouthed menace.

>>530823217I remember someone once said that they think Sonic is Melody's real father.
>>530824276That is just a headcanon for guys here who are intonation cuck fetish
>>530809057He admitted to having depression and sthg started freaking out about it.
>>530824553I know the difference and that's why I insult him. His shit deserves insult 10 times over.
>>530823314Bugger is considered a swear in the UK, even though it's ridiculously tame in terms of words.
It's a lot more friendly in Aus and I've never heard an American use it.
Surprisingly, the first Harry Potter got a PG despite Ron yelling BLOODY HELL when McGonagall transforms back from being a cat. But apparently a small Aussie saying "Bugger me" is too much.
In Aus it means little pest, due to British slang, Bugger is short for buggery which is short for Sodomy which is short for Marine please do not exclaim that in public
>>530824669Suicide please Suicide please Suicide
>>530824553Thinking of breeding human being?
>>530824553I wish he wasn't breathing
>>530824553The squeaky wheel gets fixed.
So, what does anyone think of Mike Gallagher or Karl Bollers or anyone the other Archie Sonic writers besides Flynn and Penders?
>>530824742My favourite part of Rush Adventure is when Marine said "it's buggering time" and anally buggered all the robots.
If Ian Flynn is such a great writer why does Drogune have virtually no audience?
I actually waited for a boner to wear off instead of jerking off to Fiona
>>530824903Remember when Rouge didn't give a shit about the Sol Dimension being destroyed if it meant she could have the Sol Emerald to herself?
>>530825102Pretty certain it's because it got put on hiatus for the past couple of years.
I liked it, had a neat couple of characters and the art was cool.
>>530825102Even with ABT carrying Ian's ass he couldn't get any interest
>>530824978I really liked Gallagher. His stories hit the right amount of goofy that archie comics should have been. Also gave us fun stories and concepts later like Turbo Tails' fight against Mogul and foretelling his "Destiny" (which got sorely wasted later on by Pellerito and Ian), Scrap Sonic, the foreign FF teams, Mecha Madness. Even when he left and occasionally came back his sidestories were always much better than the A stories.
Bollers has the same flaws and writing style as Penders and many of his issues people blame Penders on, but I give him the benefit of the doubt because his plans for archie he was going to write before getting the boot were actually pretty cool.
>>530825135yes i remember when characters used to have a soul.
>>530825102Drogune my balls across your face.
>>530825434If you like Gallagher, I'd recommend Fleetway. Different kind of humour but same format. Fun concepts with some fun lorebuilding that doesn't overshadow the jokes or the pacing.
>>530825102Ian Flynn's biggest fans can't answer this
>>530825597That's a coincidence, cause I really love Fleetway. Including the tone and humor. Also an unsung part about Fleetway is that it had really phenomenal art, especially towards the end.
>>530825128Spontaneous boners are nigh unkillable.
You're just really feeling the entirety of existence.
If you're so smart why you're still poor???
>>530825621Actually true they will block you if you try to ask them this
>>530825796I'm fairly confident we're at least somewhat richer than anyone working in the comic industry
>>530826035Then you must be dumb
>>530825434I'm curious if other writers are as protective of their characters as Penders is. I remember once reading that Dan Slott, yes that Dan Slott, was apparently okay with Sega using the Zone Cops.
>>530825691I enjoy Fleetway as well. I know some people don't like Sonic's personality in that comic and how he's more of a dick to everyone, especial Tails. But I don't mind it and I can understand why he's like that. Plus, Fleetway Sonic was pretty tame compared to other British comic characters like the ones from the Beano or Judge Dredd.
>>530825796I'm from Nepal and I work remote from western American jobs I get payed triple amount compared to my neighbors so technically I'm rich
>>530825434*also I should mention for Bollers some of his stories I occasionally really liked. Like his run in the 60s numbers when Sonic and Tails were chasing Naugus across the globe from their plane.
That was, like, the peak of the whole series. Just Sonic and Tails and occasionally Knuckles going on lighthearted exploring adventures. Meeting girlfriends like Barby, weird conspiracies like that town who wanted Sonic to stay forever or the Dark Legion echidnas Knuckles rescued them from, rivals and new villains like Monkey Khan and the Iron Queen, weird scifi beings like Al and Cal. Indiana Jones type of adventures.
No writer since has recaptured that magic.
>>530826336Fleetway Sonic wouldn't last a day in Bash Street School
>>530826373I think that was also the arc that gave us Ultra Sonic who I think only appeared one other time.
>>530825796I make nearly a 6 figure salary.
>>530809057Imagine you are a shipper.
Imagine getting to work on your favorite childhood canon and finally get your otp back together only for the parent company to step in (after a lawsuit caused by an unrelated ds game forced their attention) to tell you that your otp breaks the character and you need to write it out NOW.
Now you understand Ian.
>>530825796But I'm not smart.
And I'm not poor.
>>530826798If you're so rich why don't you spend your money on comms? There's a lot of artists who are poor and need that cash.
One other thing I liked about Fleetway was they did comics based on other Sega games like Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Ecco the Dolphin, and Decap Attack. The latter was popular enough it lasted long after the game came out until the comic started doing reprints.

Mind you, $80 is considered a low price point for most of these faggots. I have no idea who put it in their heads that charging nearly 100 dollars for something that can be done in less than an hour was an acceptable practice.

Calling Sonic & Tails "friendly rivals" is very inauthentic. I see where that Tails anon is coming from, but as a Tails self inserter myself, I have to say that framing it as a "friendly rival" is only half-true.
Sonic is the coolest guy ever, and Tails is always trying to catch up and prove himself. From the very first time they met, to the Adventure games where Tails' stages are literally racing Sonic... Tails sees Sonic as someone he has to measure himself up to. SA1 is "Racing" for Tails' stages because that is exactly what Tails' perspective IS. Tails is racing against Sonic, Tails is pushing himself to beat Sonic in a race.
A one-sided race, that Sonic is not aware of. Sonic isn't paying Tails much mind, Sonic is just focused on getting to the goal and keeps an eye on Tails along the way. Sonic is impressed with Tails' ability to keep up, and encourages him to catch up and stuff, but it's not a true race or rivalry on Sonic's end outside of very specific moments.
Alongside that, Tails' motivation is not to "beat Sonic". Tails' motive is to be like Sonic, and become someone Sonic can rely on. Tails' role as a sidekick comes with the necessity of proving that he can keep up with and prove useful to Sonic. Why would Sonic even need a sidekick? What can Tails actually do to help Sonic, of all people? Tails has to answer that question, through his actions. Prove himself as "Player 1.5" or "Player 2".
The Friendly Rival character is Knuckles, who stands in opposition to Sonic even as an ally. Knuckles criticizes and challenges Sonic in ways that Tails fundamentally doesn't. There is a fundamental difference between Tails and Knuckles' dynamics with Sonic. Tails competing with Sonic, and Knuckles assisting Sonic, are very different from what the other typically does. When Tails competes with Sonic, it's to prove his own worth as someone Sonic can rely on. When Knuckles assists Sonic, it's putting his trust in someone he doesn't typically agree with.
>>530835094Noone asked your Sparky, get a job you piggy fag

>>530834425Honestly, It should have just been a Batman crossover. I would rather See Shadow meet the Bat family.

When will Sonic team realize, Kino like pic related is all we want
>>530835689I don't understand how people get pissy over something that's been a part of this fandom since it's inception. They're just looking for reasons to cry.
Nah its not ocs its specifically the plebbit coombait ones made here
I think the main problem with the DC crossover is how short it is since it's only 5 issues. Like we don't get to see Tails working with the Teen Titans for example, it's just something we're told.
>>530835679Massively missed opportunity, Cause Shadow's kind of a mix of all three. Hell even if it was just a awkward car ride, I would still read it.
>>530835861I think they're just miserable people trying to spread their misery.
>>530835094Was Knuckles the friendly rival after Sonic 3 but before SA2?
>>530835904>buzzword buzzwordDo you have a single thought that is your own?

>>530836146>forgive me for twitterpostingNo.
>>530835804>Sonic & ShadowI'd rather see the Core 4 than just Sonic and Sonic, and Sonic, fighting Sonic.
I'm tired of Shadow overshadowing everyone else, to the point that even Sonic himself gets turned OOC just to further hype up Shadow. I don't wanna see Sonic, Shadow & Silver as the core cast or anything like that.
I wanna see them lead their own separate sub-series, so that Sonic himself can have Tails, Amy and Knuckles hyped up to that same level rather than kicked to the side 'cause Sonic himself has to be the ultimate uber-giga chad.
Sonic's own coolness is greater when his friends are able to be just as cool. That's the real reason people love Sonic & Shadow, because it's double the coolness. What they gotta do is stop faking it by using a Sonic clone, and just give Tails, Amy, Knuckles and other characters the respect they deserve.
>>530836146And then they ruined all the designs in Zero Gravity, you hate to see it
We love out NEET sloth here.
Where did this picrel come from and is there more of it
>>530835989they could have fit in 3 pages for Tails if they were more efficient with the pages. Someone pointed out in the storytime they waste too many pages just standing around talking and talking and talking about Ian's dumbass fanfic plot instead of getting on with the action. But no they chose to have the cast give a TED talk and scrap Tails' story instead.
How about this for a crossover?
>>530836054Knuckles IS the friendly rival, period. That's what Knuckles character is.
No, Shadow is not a friendly rival. That's never how Shadow's dynamic with Sonic has been described, that's what fans WANT Shadow to be because they want the Sonic & Knuckles dynamic but mistake Shadow for that role.
>>530836529Knuckles was outright antagonistic though in the first appearance
>>530836529>That's never how Shadow's dynamic with Sonic has been described
>>530836401Both of them are NEETs just for different reasons.
Sage doesn't even try to find a job.
Bump gets a job regularly but ends up getting fired after burning the entire establishment down in less than a week.
>>530836672Sonic Team tells us: Sonic & Knuckles are friendly rivals who don't get along because of their differing lifestyles.
Sonic Team writes the story: Knuckles gets tricked by Eggman into thinking Sonic is evil, until Sonic fights him and Knuckles realizes the truth.

>>530836240I'm still working on my SC4 model. It turns out I'm having second thoughts about my final model and I'll need to continue training it, which is why I haven't taken more requests.
Hesse likes writing Sonic buttering Amy up. I'm already getting a glimpse on Sonamy's dynamic in 4.
>>530836337The biggest issue with the Sonic Series is it's called the Sonic series, Since that forces every game to be about him in some way. Now don't get me wrong, I have no issue with Sonic being the Main Character, It's just fans would be less apprehensive with the series focusing on the expanded cast if it was called "Chaos Warriors" or "Son's of Chao" or something less shit.
Then again People Bitch about Nero in DMC and it 's not like that series is called Dante the Demon hunter
>>530836337>I want boring characters over interesting characters
>>530836492I would settle for nothing less than her falling in love with him
>>530836918Are you retarded? Hesse Amy is doomed
>>530836736Doesn't really challenge my point either way, there.
Sonic & Shadow's dynamic as Sonic Team describes and envisions it is always a different kind of rivalry from how they describe and envision Sonic & Knuckles.
Like, for one, Knuckles is Sonic's friend, Shadow is not. Knuckles butts heads with Sonic all the time, Shadow does not care about Sonic's existence until a specific moment of conflict arises. It's Sonic who'd egg Shadow on into a competition while Shadow himself is mission-focused and prefers getting the job done, though he does acknowledge Sonic as a rival because of his own status as Ultimate Lifeform being challenged by Sonic's anomalous existence. But when it comes to Sonic and Shadow, there's a much stronger degree of separation that borders on antagonistic while with Knuckles it can get very heated but cool down just as quickly because they're ultimately bros at the end of the day even if they "hate" each other.
>>530836873You win but I am sure that anon will say you cannot trust Sonic team.
Knuckles does not make sense as a main character nor does he make sense on Team Sonic.
team Sonic should have been Sonic Tails and Amy
>>530837220Well, yeah.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TI4dS5xkQU
>>530836932A series should always have a single protagonist or family of protagonist. DBZ has Goku, Star Wars has the Skywalkers, replacing them with some schmoe like Trunks or Rey never turns out well. We've already invested in the original MC and have no fux left to give for replacements.
>>530837421Except Amy doesn't add anything to the team. That's why Sonic Boom had to give her the nothing title of "the Backbone". She's a token girl. Used to have a personality back in the Sonic X days but now yeah, generic girl.
>>530837421That's how Archie handled it. Knuckles was usually either by himself or with the Chaotix.
>>530836932Sonic is meant to be the kind of character who changes the world around him by being a mysterious fairy-like spirit guide or whatever, so they should lean into that much more by actually having the stories be Tails/Amy/Knuckles-centric primarily, but revolving around Sonic as the force of change and stuff in their lives.
>>530836949They wouldn't be "boring" if they were just given more story focus and opportunity to do cool stuff. Too much of these characters ends up amounting to lip service in character profiles because we never get to see any of it on screen anymore.
>>530837554Knuckles doesnt either. Nothing is needed beyond Sonic and Tails
>>530837605Also IDW but somehow that dynamic is poorly handled.
>>530837554Amy is the heart. The only people who'd disagree with that are people who hate Amy.
That aside, Amy and Tails are both defined by chasing/following Sonic, and hyping him up as the coolest guy ever while they have to challenge and prove themselves in order to reach that same level and earn their place by his side.
>>530837421Knuckles works best when he has his own separate side story that directly intertwines with Sonic at pivotal points, but ultimately serves to flesh out the worldbuilding and it's lore behind the core narrative Sonic is dealing with.
>>530836146Silver's board in that game is a recycled one from Blaze.
>>530837941Do you believe Shadow was a good addition to the series then especially long-term
>>530833182Don't make me hangry.
>>530837675>Sonic is meant to be the kind of character who changes the world around him by being a mysterious fairy-like spirit guide or whateverAn idea that would have worked a lot better if he didn't keep getting animal support characters that are just like him
Face it, The whole Sonic is a Fairy godparent + Peter pan + Cat in the hat thing might have worked if Tails and every other blobian that wasn't him didn't exist and it was just Sonic helping out a bunch of human kids exclusively game to game.
>>530837308>Sonic represent freedom and the wind>rapes Sage>gaslight Eggman into believing that he never did such a thing>"convinces" him to continue playing the role of the villain, otherwise he'll get boredMy FVARKING hero!
>>530837941Amy hasn't had a heart in a long ass while. She's the "backbone" which I can't help but associate with anal sex due to how retarded it is to call Amy that. The team doesn't break apart when she's gone, even in Boom, that's not really her function. She's a damn archeologist or something.
>>530837751Knuckles was the stronger but not as fast rival character before Shadow Vegeta'd his way into the franchise.
>>530838374>rapes SageYou can't fuck a Ai holigram anon, Let alone rape one, Otherwise Master Chief would have fucked Cortana back in CE.
Looking at the old Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric trailers, I have to ask: What were they thinking with this reboot?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHO0IqDJ_uo
I get that it was aimed at young kids and nonfans i.e. the "modern audience" but I don't think they'd like this watered down crap. The gameplay sucking just made it worst.
>>530833182YOU LITTLE....
>>530837791Archie Sonic in general was interesting in a "what the fuck am I reading" way, but a good one.
IDW isn't interesting, it's just boring and safe.
>>530838431One of the games even involved her getting kidnapped and the rest of the team having to rescue her.
Nintendo paid money for this exclusivity. What this the greatest joke Sega has ever played on them?
https://youtu.be/ehapelrBHxQ?si=iguRPVpDdEJVTdJ_
Nintendo funded this shit. Three exclusive Sonic titles funded for the failing Wii U. I'd say Sega was laughing but as Iizuka reveals in a recent interview, this nearly killed Sonic for good.
You will like Tails or suffer the consequences.
>>530838317Shadow is "Dark Sonic". That is inherently cool and awesome and the greatest thing ever, and stuff like that. But, as a Sonic clone copycat who just exists to be another Sonic and not anything more ever, he has to have his own separate franchise to stand on his own and be the coolest awesome most epic-est edgiest greatest of all time without overshadowing the actual Sonic.
>>530838360>The whole Sonic is a Fairy godparent + Peter pan + Cat in the hat thing might have worked if Tails and every other blobian that wasn't him didn't exist and it was just Sonic helping out a bunch of human kids exclusively game to game.No.
I don't want Chris Thorndyke. I want Tails.
I don't want Princess Elise. I want Amy.
If Sonic is gonna inspire and uplift a lonely kid, I want that kid to have cool flashy powers of his own and follow in Sonic's footsteps and fly to the highest of all the heavens! I don't want Sonic to just be the only special thing in a world full of boring normal humans, I want a world full of colorful powerful cool action heroes with Sonic as the living legend that inspired all of them! Because that's COOL!
>>530838943It should have.
>>530836461It's from the whiteboard.
AFAIK there was no more Wave x Charmy stuff posted though.
>>530838613But Sonic clearly can from the looks of that image

>>530838978I hope you don't wonder why people hate you.
>>530838943>this nearly killed Sonic for good.It honestly should have in hindsight, even more than 06 should have. If the IP was retired after Boom failed then we'd never have IDW or the movies actively undermining the entire fanbase and IP for normies.
>>530839169I like Sparky.
>>530838943>but as Iizuka reveals in a recent interview, this nearly killed Sonic for good.As in SEGA just outright axing Sonic forever and using the time and money on other things? That's pretty funny.
What actually prevented that, the IP itself for being so long-lived, or something like Mania releasing?
They even had a trailer where they put the "Sonic dies" scene in the front. It's fucking odd looking at this shit after all these years. What were Sega of America smoking?
https://youtu.be/cRO5H_aBwyU?si=Ewlkuf7aL14bSRW7
Meanwhile, Sega of Japan was trying to turn Sonic into a mobile only franchise with Sonic Runners. A game that failed alongside their Sakura Wars mobile game cause not even Mobile Whales, with their amazing low standards, wanted that shit.
Okay, bitching and moaning over. Let's all laugh at Crash Bandicoot for being unable to survive a drop in sales.
>>530838431Knuckles is still that because Shadow has the same skills and power as Sonic.
>>530839271That's okay, you're not people
>>530838806I feel like IDW peaked with the Metal Virus. Sure, it had its problems like how Shadow got infected, but I feel like after that the stakes just aren't as high in any other arc. It's all mundane stuff. And yes, apparently the Metal Virus arc was a scrapped idea from Archie.
>>530839490Having actively collected the comics during that time, the virus arc nearly killed, or did kill IDW. That's when I remember everyone dropping out because Ian couldn't wrap it the fuck up.

TLDR; People at Sega cared. Iizuka cared. Sonic got saved.
Addendium: Not mentioned in the above is the mass layoffs framed as "voluntary retirement" after Sonic Boom flopped.

The best part about Boom was the fake leak about Shadow wearing a Hawaiian shirt and having a surfboard named Maria. I can't decide if that's better or worse than what he was actually like in Boom?
>>530839683Also, weren't there delays because of COVID?
>>530838943>Nintendo paid money for this exclusivity. What this the greatest joke Sega has ever played on them?>Nintendo funded this shit. Three exclusive Sonic titles funded for the failing Wii U.Sochi 2014 was a given, but man, I keep forgetting that Lost World was part the deal that spawned Rise of Lyric.

Most of Sonic's friends are way to normal to make sense for that kind of character. There's a reason why Naka made NiGHTS and it's because he failed to make Sonic into that type of character and opted to create a replacement.
>>530839839Shadow in Boom was a shitty caricature of himself. Which is really saying something considering he's just a shitty Vegeta knockoff.
So yeah surfer dude Shadow would have been way better.
>>530839169I do wonder, because I don't understand it.
>>530838978Yep doesn't Shadow already interfere with the roles Knuckles and Metal Sonic had before him?
It is telling most of you have not watched Doctor Who otherwise you would know how to fix the series.
>>530840227Shadow only really overlaps with Metal. Knuckles is a different kind of character altogether, so there should be no issue between Shadow and Knuckles.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles had Mecha Sonic, who is just another Metal Sonic anyway, which is ultimately what Shadow is. So, there shouldn't be any overlap with Knuckles.
Sonic has almost killed itself due to sheer incompetence now at least 3 separate times. lmfao
>>530840004Precisely. At the time people didn't want to read about what they were experiencing too, because you know, escapism and all.

>>530840102>Because another thing about those types of protagonists is they can't have a permanent Friend gallery,Says who?
Sonic is, at his core, a Mickey Mouse type of character, so Amy exists to be Minnie Mouse and chase him. Sonic is like the coolest guy ever, so Tails is there as the little brother idolizing him. Sonic is as free as the wind itself, so his rival is Knuckles the immovable mountain.
If Sonic is gonna be this fairy-like character and also a spiky action hero who fights robots and gods, then his impact on the world should lead to an entire large group of action heroes like him. Like... Gurren Lagann, where Kamina's legacy brings together "Team Dai-Gurren" behind him simply because his own actions inspired many others to follow his example.
That kind of vibe elevates Sonic even higher, without making it seem like he and he alone is the only one who can do anything.
That aside, stories where it's only Sonic as a strange outlier in a normal world can work just fine. Sonic can work anywhere. I just don't want the cast we have to be wasted, and I like when there's a large cast of cool characters.

>>530838943I think itโs funny how people hate the movies and IDW enough to unironically say that boom should have killed sonic for good just so they could never exist. Like dawg, I only care about the games. Iโm glad we live in a post boom world where mania, frontiers, superstars, and sxsg exist. None of them are perfect, (except maybe mania even if thatโs not my favourite game that I listed) but still.

>>530843505Bumping Bump's bumps.
>>530842729character overlap is a real thing, when characters are designed for specific roles like in this franchise.
Example:
Tails is Sonic's sidekick, player 2, a kid brother whose always by Sonic's side, idolizes him, races alongside him, etc.
If another character is introduced to be a sidekick to Sonic, a kid that idolizes him, or even a "Player 2" that can race him, this will automatically overlap with Tails. This means that Tails' own character will suffer. UNLESS, this character is designed around Tails as well, or is specifically designed to not actually interfere with Tails' own status in said role.
But a degree, even Shadow overlaps with Tails, when it comes to "who is the player 2 of the series, that can keep up with Sonic and races along, and has a yellow/orange aura to match his blue". Obviously, Shadow and Tails are very different characters, but this specific point will cause issues, especially for Tails, and that's simply because Shadow is not meant to be a supporting character for Sonic or co-star alongside Sonic so closely.
With Amy & Cream, Cream was designed to be Amy's sidekick like Tails. However, despite their differing personalities, the underlying shared trait of "pure, sweet girl" that comes with the general tropes of kindness, compassion, being "nice", etc, led to Amy being written very badly by downplaying her own sweetness in order for Cream to fill that role ALONE. That was never meant to be the case when Cream was designed, but character mismanagement coupled with Sonic X trying to force Amy to be a tsundere archetype, led to that happening.
With Knuckles, the problem isn't Shadow. The problem is just Knuckles himself being severely mishandled after the adventure games. This led to his own status as "rival" being forgotten by fans as they focus solely on Shadow instead, but they project Knuckles' character onto Shadow in that case which is another layer to this problem.
>>530843841Canโt tell if this is ironic or not. Not well versed enough in the sonic writing discourse to know whether or not if these are what people fear the characters turning into.
>>530843505We need more Bump in these threads

>>530840745I think Sonic Superstars would've still been made. Sonic Mania proved that people still wanted Classic Sonic games. Then Sega would've packed it up.
Remember when the drawfag clique tried to come up with an OC for /fast/ but the thread had so little interaction and /fast/ died so fast that the drawfag just gave up entirely? I still chuckle at that.
Stop making me wanna eat mobian ass, the pics of amy last thread were already too much

>>530844262>>530844618This last TailsTube was depressing. This is how little the current writers think of the franchise they're writing for. It's like MHA ending levels of insulting.
>>530840586Boom started conceptualization sometime in 2009 when the franchise was in a pretty bad spot. The idea of rebooting it honestly wasnโt a bad idea in the late 2000s. But then colors and generations came around and they brought a good deal of goodwill back to the franchise before lost world slightly eroded it and boom completely killed it.

>>530840865Thanks doc. Nice shading
>>530845980This is Tails' van. Sonic is a homeless deadbeat loser.
Even though Tails is my favorite character, I don't often post pics of Tails that much...
I guess that's usually because what I wanna see is something cool and awesome and epic, and I wanna see TAILS being cool and awesome and epic. But most of the art for Tails is likely to emphasize him looking cute or whatever... Which is understandable I guess...
>>530845213>By the way, how would you write Tails surpassing Sonic?Hmm... Actually, now that I think about it, I guess I haven't given that as much thought lately, beyond the abstract concept of it...
Well, the starting point would have to be where Tails is at the end of the Adventure games. SA1 had him racing Sonic and outpacing him through his flight until he had to face Eggman 1 on 1 in Station Square without Sonic. SA2 took that specific turning point a step further by having Tails going mech-for-mech against Eggman with the climax being Sonic's "death" where Sonic outright says he's counting on Tails to finish this for him.
In order to actually follow up on where the Adventure games left off, the status quo has to be that Tails has effectively become a second Sonic. "Sonic 2", even... Anyway, meaning that he has proven that he can not only keep up, but possibly outpace Sonic in speed, and out-smart Eggman in the mech department. Tails has proven to be a legitimate rival for Doctor Eggman, especially. So where Sonic may go on to face even greater titans, it would be Tails who now faces Eggman on a regular basis by himself.
But that's only reaching Sonic's level. In order to truly "surpass" Sonic, he has to transcend that very status quo. The core conflict of the series between Sonic & Eggman, on both sides, has to be directly challenged by Tails. To surpass both Sonic and Eggman at the exact same time... By finding whatever kernel of truth may exist in Eggman's ambitions, and unify that with the philosophy of Sonic's life, to do what neither side ever could and change the world.
someone mentioned a superman comic here and i ended up spending an hour reading the arc. i'm not even into capeshit or superman. meanwhile i get bored of idw after 3 pages, i haven't even caught up with the last handful of issues.

>>530846924Let them still work on the gameplay. Mania was and still is incredible. Character wise though, do not let them a single inch near these characters. Iโm seeing Tyson hesse wrote this recent tails tube shit. I think his art is great, but man his characterization sucks.

>>530847006We're not talking about Boom Amy and I'm willing to say people find her less annoying than X.
Man, Sonic fans are annoying, no wonder you don't give fandom the time of day. Non-fans are playing the games more anyway.
>>530823373I wish they'd just vault Tails and Cream already and put her in their place.
>>530836592Frankie is an annoying, self-absorbed egomaniac who thinks that his sexuality entitles him to special treatment.
