I'm the coolest >:]

Realest!

Why dont you be normal and just post as yourself about things related to sonic that makes you happy, instead of pretending to be 7 different people

>>538094479 (OP)
Didn't that one guy threaten you to make a Sonurge OP or he kills his dog

Shadria happened in your thread just now

>>538094628
Krack...

Why are you purposely making shitty threads?

I'm the lamest :(

Since you all agree that Krack is the only Shadriafag in this general, she must also be the most competent and physically capable person on earth.
She can post about Shadria all day, every day. She can draw in fifty different arstsyles. She can speak plenty of languages. She has 400 devices.
She's some kind of being beyond comprehension.

Ore wa ore sa.
Boukenzuki no tada no harinezumi...
Sonikku za Hejjihoggu sa.

>>538094628
I'll make you eat those words

Boy! ^^

HERRO I AM BIG SHADOW FAN! ME IS NEW POSTER!

Since you all agree that The Joker is the only The Jokerfag in this general, he must also be the most competent and physically capable person on earth.
He can post about The Joker all day, every day. He can figgt in fifty different stsyles. He can speak plenty of languages. He has 400 cars.
He's some kind of clown beyond comprehension.

>>538095345
From your estimates, how many of these pics are from Japanese artists? 70%?

Is this peak canon Lanolin?

I understand now.
Sthg seethes about Krack because they legitimately don't have counter arguments for her. They have nothing to say when Krack argues about Shadow so they just get mad at the thought that someone would "care too much" about the character.
She stopped, evidently. People here still get mad. How dare she not agree that Shadow and Rouge are friends! How dare she not agree that Shadow should be Amy's shoulder to cry on when she gets over Sonic! How dare she not agree that Shadow isn't a lethargic and chill guy who keeps his eyes at rest.

All of those things are true. If you deny them, you're denying reality. Instead of accepting reality you just get mad at the person who told you.
Then you look at this post and assume that it's Krack. Because ONLY Krack would ever agree with official statements about the characters. Right?
Ridiculous.

The original Sheep girl.

i had no idea this was supposed to be a sheep oc. I knew what it was but to me it looks like a generic canine or cat thing

>>538095557
Sure krack.

Most namefag stuff is based on stories that make no sense. You can just make up stories about someone you hate and everyone will believe you.

>>538095565
Literally who

I wish IP counters were back. You guys are fucking insufferable. We might as well just the namefags have their name in the field at this point.

What if Chaos Emeralds were Hearts?

Specifically the hearts of seven girls in the series, including Amy, Cream, Rouge, and others but specifically not Blaze. ... Or Wave.

How would this impact the plot of Sonic Adventure 2, in particular?

I understand now.
Sthg seethes about The Joker because they legitimately don't have counter arguments for her. They have nothing to say when The Joker argues about Batman so they just get mad at the thought that someone would "care too much" about the character.
He stopped, evidently. People here still get mad. How dare she not agree that The Batma and Robin are friends! How dare he not agree that The Batman should be Alfred's shoulder to cry on when she gets over Gordon! How dare he not agree that The Batman isn't a lethargic and chill guy who keeps his eyes at rest.

All of those things are true. If you deny them, you're denying reality. Instead of accepting reality you just get mad at the person who told you.

>>538095663
Big black creature cock

I've browsed /sthg/ for more than half a decade and I still dont know the namefags that people keep yapping about

No one believes any stupid story though. It's always a bored samefagging schizo.

>>538095893
>Specifically the hearts of seven girls in the series
You mean like those princesses in Kingdom Hearts?

>>538095889
you REALLY think this would stop the samefagging?

I'm surprised by how many of you still haven't figured out that Krack is Iizuka. He pretends to be an American girl so he can blend in with the fans and share his extreme love of Shadow without being ridiculed in public. Personally, I am glad someone like Iizuka is posting in these threads.

What if sonic met the joker?

Tell me a lie /sthg/

Have you all played Sonic Frontiers Revisited? If not why not?

>>538095998
It would at least re-assuring to see the obvious confirmed. At this point I'm convinced there's like 4 different anons larping rn.

>>538096048
Sparky and Violet are secretly married.

>>538095532
characters actually saying new and unique one liners is very unusual for IDW. Feels like a page from a different comic.

>>538095997
Yes. But instead of "pure" hearts, they have "Chaos" Hearts. Aside from Amy and Cream, who are pure regardless, but that's beside the point.

I'm just wondering how this would impact the plot of SA2 where Shadow and Eggman are specifically after the Chaos Emeralds, and Shadow needs one to use Chaos Control, and stuff.

>>538096048
Evan Stanley can draw human women.

>>538096042
I think I am too new to understand the DC joker meme here

>>538096048
Tailsfags are normal, sophisticated human beings.

>>538096048
Your favorite poster shot your dog in the face.

>>538096086
I've been meaning to since I saw the trailer the other day. I have just been lazy about it. I might play it soon, and I'll post about it in the threads when I do

Iizuka is also behind the jokerposting

>>538096086
I only play finished fangames
Its too common for someone to put something out and than abandon it the moment they get a job or get bored

>>538096048
>Tell me a lie
The Sonic IDW comics are competently written. Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley are great writers.

>>538096086
No. I just recently played Frontiers and its not worth replaying ever again. It kinda sucks

>>538096016
Since only Krack would say Shadow and Rouge aren't friends, Iizuka must be Krack!

>>538096108
if you can see through the farce, you need no ip counters. it wouldn't have stopped the samefagging anyways.

>>538096223
I treat fangame/mod demos as "finished" games. I assume they won't work on them any further, so I just play whatever they manage to put out. Even commercial games often release "unfinished".

>>538096016
Since only The Joker would say Batman and Robin aren't friends, Iizuka must be The Joker!

>>538095442
This is a difficult question because most fanart of Shadow and Maria is ambiguous, it could be read as either platonic or romantic. As a result, there are some images in my folder that were drawn people who don't like the ship. The Shadow/Maria folder is pretty evenly split, ~50% eastern ~50% western.
But if I am only including images that are obviously romantic, the percentage becomes massively skewed. Around 90% eastern and 10% western. The western Shadria fanart tends to be either very old (pre-2012) or very new (post-2023).

Supposedly, that's not Miles Prower, that's Patty from the manga. So, that's what I drew.

>>538096574
ok

Can you fucking leave Evan alone please

Never forget.
Never forgive.

is Jak III influencing Iizuka to make Shad05 true or just BS?

Shadow waking up from a capsule and saying "I'm gonna kill Mephiles" would be kinda funny.

The Joker cannot draw human women.

Sometimes I really do think this place digs into her way too much and a lot of it is just people venting their frustrations at her here because they know she won't come to this place and read them.
That said, she's not a good writer by any stretch of the imagination and I'm not going to stick up or defend for her when she has such glaring problems.

:)

>>538096880
this is exactly how I feel

What if I made a Rimworld playthrough but made the colony start off as the FFs? I should probably go and see if that's even possible on some level.

>>538096735
It must've been Jak 2's fault.
They saw sony turn a mario 64 clone into grimdark gta and thought they could do it too

collab with the Joker? where do you think you are bud?

>>538096760
Godzilla wins with a gigantic power gap. Not even really a fight.

Our name is krack for we are many

Shadow 05 is so much better than Jak 2 that it isn't even funny. Jack 2 is carried by its aesthetic and being a more obscure series.

There is a mechanic in Jack 2 that prevents certain enemies from ever missing their second attack. Ever. Their second attack will always land no matter what you do. It's horribly designed.

Ignore that other anon, this is exactly how *I* feel.

>>538096735
It was Jak II (and Going Commando, a much better game). He may have played them after wrapping on Heroes, though I don't know if he confirmed that they directly influenced Shad05 in any meaningful capacity.

Also
>implying Mephiles is in Shad05

>>538096880
Nah fuck that, I'm tired of being civil about it. If you cannot write, draw or even understand these very simple cartoon characters to the point where your own echo chamber ass kissers have to correct you on multiple things then you do not belong anywhere near writing any stories about it let alone be in a fucking lore supervision team. Ian's horrible at writing too but at least he understands that this is a franchise meant for little boys. Evan wants to turn this IP into a soap opera for pre-teen girls.

>>538097187
fatdow

>>538097345
Maria is using Shadow's cloaca

The Evan women meme is just a rehash of the All Your Base Are Belong To Us

Superman has a new superform in a recent comic and its very likely a sonic (and Mario) reference

Coming soon to the PS5, Xbox Whatever, Switch 2 and Steam:
>Drogune: No Audience

>>538097541
yes let's get some Drogune image edits

>>538097318
Mecha Godzilla actually wins a few fights.
How many has Metal won? On screen, we have no idea how Metal got a win over Eggman and for all we know it could have been through Eggman's own incompetence.

Also Mecha can just self-destruct if Metal gets inside him.
>But that's not a w-
Mecha got the last hit in, so yes he wins in a double KO in that scenario.

>>538097471
I think Shadow Generations revealed some concepts of Shadow 2005 were discarded and brought back for Sonic 2006, so it's possible

>>538095557
Is it egotistical to think this? People slandering me here rarely specify what I did wrong. When they're asked for evidence, they don't respond. Their criticism of others cites specific events and posting habits, and criticism of me is frustratingly vague in comparison. "She's annoying," "she's a retard," "she's lying," "she's ruining the thread." Why? How? What can I do to be better? It's never answered, and trying to tone down my behavior doesn't help because my mere presence angers them. The only conclusion is they're frustrated because they can't refute my words, they think I am a threat when I speak, so they attack me personally. I represent an idea or belief they dislike. That's the only way it makes sense to me anymore.

>>538096735
I wish they went fully into the guns aspect.
Turn it into a shooter.

>>538097662
Damn he really is a perpetual jobber

>>538097475
She's just following in 06's footsteps

>>538097745
Why did they give Superman a super form? Can't he canonically tank an entire fucking blockhole? What's even the point?

>>538097731
Under many circumstances it would be egotistical I assume that people only hate you for being right all the time. I wouldn't say that's true here.

>>538097731
Stop agreeing with yourself.

>>538097232
Jak II was the start of Modern Naughty Dog where they started to focus more on producing a "cinematic" gameplay with an emphasis on story. Never forget that Druckmann got his start on Jak II's sequel.

>>538097731
They're jealous they're not the leaders of Sonic Team and don't get to push their headcanons and ship.

>>538097731
That fact that you and Violet seem to be working things out makes me completely rethink you and makes me realize you might be telling the truth when you say you cannot control the people who bully in your name.

>>538097863
>blockhole
Now how the fuck did I mistype that? blackhole*

>>538097863
It says right there, he doesnt get hurt by kryptonite and heals himself when he has all of the chaos emeralds

>>538097948
What's happening between Krack and Violet today?

>>538097731
Any time someone comes the games over the comics for Shadow's character here they get called Krack.

At this point it isn't really simply that you're right, but that they can name you out of the anons they disagree with. They would like the number of people with those opinions unions to be smaller. So they call them all Krack

>>538096760
Metal Sonic as in Metal Overlord right?
We need a giant monster fighter.

Holy samefagging, krack is on fire tonight.

>>538098031
Couldn't he just have flown to the sun to instantly heal any kryptonite wound before? Can't he do that in less than 2 minutes and be back on Earth to continue fighting?

>>538094479 (OP)
>>538094498
The fact that the same errors keep popping up for the past 2 or 3 days tells me the same retard keeps making these threads.

>>538097706
Wasn't that Iblis?

Sonic 06 having three main villains (+ Eggman), with 2 of them being mindless kaijus and one of them being Shadow again was too convoluted an evolution of SA1.

>>538097187
I was looking for this piece of fanart lol. Shadow is HEAVIER than Maria.

Would unironically beat some of you anons up irl if I knew who you were and could be sure it was you making these shitposts.

>>538097058
SA2 was already 90s angst, pivoting to 2000s edge was not that big of a jump.

>>538097471
Oh true. I was thinking Jak III because they have both Dark and Light meters, but that game only released 1 year before Shad05. No idea what the dev cycle was like, but I guess they indepedently came up with the concept. Possibly being influenced by the Dark meter in Jak II.

>mephiles
Yeah but he was TRAPPED and BETRAYED just like Jak in 06.

>>538098138
Anon sometimes things just work because they are supposed to be cool

Most comics are just a endless feed of hype moments and aura

>>538098237
>Wasn't that Iblis?
I think so. But I thought it's possible there's more art we haven't seen

>>538098224
OP is making room for the Archie fan comic for some reason, and they aren’t making other changes.

>>538098375
I just find the idea of Superman having a super form to be really dumb. He's supposed to be SUPERMAN. He's SUPER and MAN already. Last I checked humans don't have a super form. Adrenaline is the closes we have.

This would be like if they kept giving Goku more Super forms after DBZ. It's just pointless and goes against the hardwork of the character itself.

>>538098072
They apparently had a long conversation

Would Sonic have been better if they made it an episodic game?

>>538098224
>>538098540
The OP behind these fuckups literally said he’s never baked before. I can tell it’s him because of the way he keeps fucking up the link to the previous thread.

>>538098550
>>538098550
>give Goku more super forms after DBZ
They did. Unless you don't count super saiyan levels as new forms.

>>538098620
About what

>>538098540
Yeah, why is Archie Sonic Online there? How long has it been there?

>>538097765
Jak II isn't a shooter, it's a platformer with gun katas in it. You can't aim in Jak II or III and if you play it like a TPS (ie. Ratchet or RE4) you're going to have a hard time.

Trans issues and how toxic Sonic Twitter is.

>>538098679
Won’t happen again.

>>538098081
But I'm really not the only person who has those opinions. For every opinion I'm known for, there's at least one other person here who agrees. Calling everyone with a certain opinion my name is just blindly throwing darts until it hits the target. And even if it is me, what does it matter anyway...? What does 'calling me out' add to the thread?

>>538098835
I consider SSJ1-3 to be the same "form" but at different states/level of mastery.

>>538098679
The person who said that only made one thread. The one who made the recent threads uses iOS, the anon you're thinking of doesn't

>>538098510

>Dream Team has some of the best character animations in the franchise
>Also has a final boss that isn't a QTE fight or Colors' final boss for the 5th time in a row
I hope Sonic Team is taking notes. Surely Frontiers 2 will resemble that of a polished game...right?

You idiots still don't get what's happening with Evan Stanley, do you? You see her name on a comic or an animation and think that's the end of it. This is the long game. She is going to take over the entire creative direction of this franchise. Let's be real, she's a tugboater. She's never leaving Sonic because she literally can't. Her art style is so fucking niche and we all know she can't draw normal human women to save her life. Where else is she gonna go? Marvel? DC? Fat fucking chance. She's stuck here forever, and Sega knows it. That makes her loyal, easy to control, and cheap.

Compare that to Flynn. He's just a freelancer. Sega only hires him because they think the Archiefags demand it, but they clearly don't respect him. They supervise his scripts to hell and back and won't even use them in the Japanese versions. Flynn has an ego and other projects; he's not going to be shackled to Sonic forever. But Evan? She's already got her foot in the door of the games division with that Trio of Trouble nonsense. She's doing official art for social media, covers, lore books. They're positioning her as the new in-house creative authority. As Iizuka, Uekawa, and Kawamura get older and retire, who do you think is going to fill that void? It's not gonna be some new guy from Japan. The money is in the West, and they're going to hand the keys to the person who's proven she'll never leave.
So get ready for the Evan Stanley era of Sonic. I'm talking mainline games written by her. Her OCs becoming canon. Her bizarre, ugly-ass human women designs showing up in whatever city hub world they cook up next. We'll probably even get game concepts pitched by her greenlighted. Flynn will eventually fuck off to write his own shit, but she'll still be here, the loyal company woman inheriting the ashes of the brand. Some of you fags even want this to happen just to see SoJ burn. It's the grim, inevitable future that awaits us.

Copypasta.

Yeah, I'm hiding that. Sorry, champ.

Anon...
Pretty sure SSJ1 has like 4 different grades stated during Cell Saga. SSJ2 and 3 dont have anything I think and get ignored in Super considering they keep mixing the SSJ1 with God Ki.

>>538099251
Understandable, but I think Shad05 should have been a Vanquish shooter.

>>538099318
I think it's an Archie reference, but in Archie it used to be that Sonic needed 50 rings to go Super.

>>538099317
I didn't even beat P3P so I skipped reloaded. P4G was my first real JRPG growing up so I feel a little more inclined to pick up the remake.

>a paradox

>a pair of docks
Each dock is made for its own ship, but when the docks are lined up, they let the ships connect. In the same way, Batman’s world and Sonic’s world stay different, but they can still meet at the casino, where the two docks join.

>>538099179
He's studying Cream to figure out where his life went wrong and how she became 500% more wvnd than him.

>>538100021
Exactly, Sonic has always needed 50 rings to go super. This is a single search away. Like are they that fucking dim to not wonder "am I getting my reference correct?"

>>538099824
First of all, do not bring up Super with me. That anime does not exist in my perception of reality. I will not even entertain it.
Secondly, SSJ2 was referred to as a "new grade of Super Saiyan" by Goku at some point in the Cell saga. SSJ3 was stated to be a new form, you got me there but with later explanations from Toriyama himself it's basically SSJ2 on crack and wastes too much energy and Goku is the only one who ever does it so there's an argument to be made that it's basically Super Vegeta/Trunks buff mode in SSJ2's grade.

Has ST ever designed a good boss? With some exceptions, most of the best bosses in the series came from 3rd party devs.

>>538100438
Sonic bosses that can't be beaten in thirty seconds max are the worst. It legit makes me unable to replay Superstars.

>>538100438
Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 had decent bosses.

Heh, in my younger years I would've wrote a bunch of bait about how bad of a game it is and you didn't play P3 unless you played FES
Good times

Stfu lame ass

Amy is 06 be like.

Rush Bosses are actually good, the windows are just slightly too short. Especially Egg Hammer 2.

>>538100560
SA2 has the best bosses in the franchise.

>>538100438
What exactly is the criteria for a good Sonic boss?

>>538100187
They made tons of movies about people like you in the 2000s

>>538100826
Ehhh, I'm not a fan of bosses that makes you wait in Sonic

>>538100826
>SA2 has the best bosses in the franchise.
and other lies you can tell.

>>538100438
I like the first Biolizard fight

>>538100893
I think alot of you guys are just too used to bosses that you can easily cheese because of past sonic games, you shouldnt be able to do that at all

>>538101081
truth nuke

>>538099318
>>538097538
They got the Mario reference right, which is confusing because that's more obscure

>>538101081
But that's majority of the bosses in the franchise
So if a game does the outlier it needs to provide a good reason to do so and Rush doesn't really accomplish that

>>538100757
>>538100892
Writers are literally payed to do this for a living and they don't bother to check their shit correctly. I'm a software developer and if someone tried to push this type of shit to production I would double check their work and send it back. I can't imagine being so flippant.

Anon references do not need to be obvious, we all understand what they meant regardless if its 100, 50 or one billion rings

You guys are playing way too much into the annoying nerd role rn

I like the bosses that play like a stage. There's one in Rush Adventure and two in Colors Wii

>>538095020
*ps7

What makes a good Sonic boss, then?

>>538101235
You need a job

>>538101279
They got the obscure Mario detail right and failed to reference the basic Sonic fact lol. I guess they're more Mariofags than Sonicfags

>>538101183
I dont necessarily disagree but what you are saying is just
>if something was bad before then it should continue being bad or else its different and scary

You absolute retards, it’s a reference to how you get an extra life in many games for getting a hundred of something, you absolutely faggots

>>538101669
zeena could literally hack surge's body and mind control her.

>>538100438(me)
>>538100879
I choose Starlight's boss as an example because it gives the player a lot of options to engage with the boss (either throw the bombs back at Eggman or use the seesaws to launch Sonic at Eggman) while being easy to understand. But I suppose a good boss compliments the mechanics of the game without making the player feel restricted, confused or unengaged. It's pretty subjective.

I think the Heroes bosses are probably some of the worst in the series due to how braindead they are.

>>538101778
Is this Rumble? The hell i dont remember it looking like this the last time i played

I want to play CrossWorlds with everyone again...

>>538101530
No that's not what I'm saying and you know it. If you're not mature enough to continue this discussion then you do you I suppose

>>538101778
Rumble? It looks like Dream Team.
Also that might because Cream is a little baby while Amy is old enough to be sexualized or something

>>538101873
looks like dream team

>>538101873
>>538101956

No its literally that considering that i would think it is universally agreeable that having all of your bosses easily cheesable is a bad thing

I can never get a read on if they do or. Like he shows up a lot but all he does is job, and then things like IDW or the Forces mobile ad having him missing the black edge of his eyes. If that was Shadow missing the red highlight in the corner of his eye, everyone in the studio would have had to cut off one of their fingers

blaze's helpmeat

Barnes is right. The Sonic fandom who thinks the franchise is "shonen" needs a reality check. This franchise has been angsty fairytale bullshit since Maekawa took over. 06 was the closest to their vision but everyone hated it because there were no hype moments and aura except Mephiles. They beckpedaled hard but they're dipping their toes back in with Frontiers and Shadow Generations, but the same crowd only focused on the hype moments and aura (Titans and Mephiles) and ignored or disliked the angsty crap (Sage and Maria). The actual vision that Sonic Team has for the franchise, Shadow and Silver especially, is completely incompatible with what shonenfags actually want.

>>538105401

>>538105487
Elaborate please on what this angsty fairy tale stuff means and how it differs from the shonen angle?

>>538105170
Perhaps he would, idk
>>538105240
I think it's the implication that those two being included in a game featuring the "full cast" and being present in non IDW media means they'll likely stay if and when IDW is done.

>>538105487
Sage is handled like dogshit in frontiers but people give it a pass because buttrock music with super sonic lol
Like that singing moment is top 10 grbage moments in the franchise

If IDW goes under, I doubt they'll keep these girls though

Was Ian Flynn responsible for SAGE's existence?

Why do people say that IDW characters will stick around just because SEGA owns them? Sega owns lots of characters that are off limits.

doesnt seem like it. Sage is coming back as a racer in the new racing game.

>>538105487
Everyone loved and loves Maria you absolute retard.

English
Sage: You are little more than a wild animal. Father should have put you in a Badnik and been done with it.
Zazz: You got a big mouth for such a tiny ghost thing! Let's see what you say after I run you off the road!

Japanese
Sage: The fact that someone like you is running wild means you've been spared only because the Doctor has been busy.
Zazz: Shut up, ghost-freak! In that case, I'll just have to send you and Eggman flying!

English
Zazz: YAH! Some kinda ghost girly!? Don't haunt me! I gotta get away from here as fast as I can!
Sage: I'm not a—nevermind. His delirium and reckless acceleration will make for a... unique challenge.

Japanese
Zazz: Wh-what's with this ghost-like kid!? I'm gonna bolt at the start and leave 'er in the dust before she possesses me!
Sage: A ghost...? Oh, whatever. A sudden acceleration from a state of delusion... A disastrous result is all that awaits. How pitiful.

I think 06 speaks for itself. It's way more like Final Fantasy which pissed a lot of people off.

>>538105698
Exactly. The entire game was cringey shlock.

>>538105767
Maybe not.
>>538105845
They have an interesting presence in games and media despite where they originated from. That's mostly it.

English
Rouge: So, the doctor's daughter. Are you a daddy's girl? Or can we work out a deal?
Sage: I am loyal to my father, and I have a complete record of every time you've double-crossed him.

Japanese
Rouge: Little girl, have you no intention of providing me with information on what that mustached old man is plotting?
Sage: It's impossible for me to betray the Doctor. I'm different from you. You should give up.

English
Sage: You have both served my father and worked against him. Your allegiance is impossible to define. Explain yourself.
Rouge: Why limit myself like that? If you're worried about unpredictability, you can count on this: I'm going to win!

Japanese
Sage: You are a lying, cunning spy who once betrayed the Doctor. Why do you do such things? What is your objective?
Rouge: Don't try to pigeonhole me with words like "objective." All I can say right now is this... "I will beat you"

>>538106263
I don't believe the idw ocs will stay but it's much easier to see that there is a lot more synergy with the brand than Boom. The biggest contenders against them would be other ocs from the same or another comic

>>538106258
that moment was also shonen.

>>538106095
No clue. I just know that Ian botched Sticks' appearance in IDW.

Maria is not a character but a plot device

All of Maria's character is located in her ass.

>>538106505
If any named IDW characters were to survive and be used in any media, it would be Tangle and Whisper exclusively. They unironically got bonus points for being Forces inspired OCs.

Sonic Team doesn't want the games to be fun and cool. Whenever they make a serious story they just suck the fun right out of it unless they're pandering of avoiding their vision like the Meta Era. People who grew up with the Dark Ages got the wrong impression of the franchise because they only remember the "shonen" stuff from Sonic X. The disconnect between what Sonic Team wants, what the audience wants, what the audience thinks they want, and what Sonic Team thinks the audience wants is insane and unsustainable.

>>538106596
There is nothing "shonen" about Blaze in 06. I was a "shonen" when 06 came out and thought Blaze was lame in 06 but cool in Rush.

Potential leak. We already saw the board in the newest TailsTube but this is seemingly the render

>>538107075
yeah
seems sega is ok adopted those two from IDW

>>538095532
Lanolin but her hair grows slightly bigger every issue.

>>538107367
It's more than any of us expected at least

>>538107432
>troo far

Why the fuck did they leave NiGHTS' and AiAi's boards in the TailsTube video?

>>538107075
>If any named IDW characters were to survive and be used in any media
Any chance of Lanolin making it in?

>>538107464
I saw that a while ago. I'm guessing they'll reveal NiGHTS and likely AiAi as the next free Sega crossover characters soon. Pretty cool.

>>538107464

>>538107569
troo
>>538107587
I highly doubt it. She doesn't have any presence outside of the comic and her reception was overall mixed.

>>538107768
Chadow is a feeder confirmed

>>538107456
Not to belabor the point but these are two completely different visions and you can't possibly reconcile them. Like this goes beyond "you can't make all Sonic fans happy" this is a fundemental disconnect.

>"Eggman, I wish you would just Open Your Heart and Live and Learn. I know these sound like the Dreams of an Absolution, but I Believe in Myself and know that You Can Do Anything. It Doesn't Matter if it takes a Cosmic Eternity for this to happen, because in His World there is Endless Possibility. So Reach For The Stars and give me a Fist Bump. Speak With Your Heart and we can all be Free. I'm Here for you."

You definitely know Ian would write that.

>>538107587
No, because:
>Japan hasn't translated her arcs yet and is a long way from it.
>She was deleted from Blitz.
>She sucks.

>>538108518
>She sucks.
Like that ever stopped a Sonic character from showing up

>>538107075
>>538107506
Once IDW gets canned those two will be gone too. They don't even exist on Sonic Channel. Sticks used to before Ian soiled her in Sega's eyes and she was discarded during the site's revamp.

>>538108614
Lanolin just generally sucks. She is not even le potential like Silver.

>>538108637
its a 50/50 for me specially if they are on crossworlds

>>538107795
>overall mixed
As an actual character, she's disliked. Only her design carries her because she's attractive to some people.

Third day of playing Frontiers! I've played 11 hours so far and as a Sonuckles enjoyer I'm eating good this stage

>>538108614
She's too mean for the IDW audience

>>538108858
They aren't in Crossowlrds. You fell for leakers being retards and jumping the gun because of an Extreme Gear.

>>538107587
>>538108614
no and thats a good thing
cope ABT

>>538108518
>>538108753
Would Lanolin still suck if someone competent wrote her, on top of actually being allowed to do her Diamond Cutter job with no bullshit interference like the game characters?

Evan has gotten better at writing, she can ruin characters before they even finish their arc now.

>>538108872
>and as a Sonuckles enjoyer

>>538108994
No one competent is on IDW, so she's screwed no matter what. But that whole debacle with Duo already ruined her reputation.

>>538108753
There have been several characters from the games that aren't liked. I'm not saying she'll stay, nor do I want her to, but not being popular hasn't stopped other characters

>>538106706
Maria was always loved, retard.

>>538109059
every ship with Sonic is a good ship

>>538109232
They're all bad

>>538109138
The only characters who kept appearing while being unpopular is the Deadly Six and that's probably because Sonic Team themselves see some kind of potential in them. Lanolin is not going to get that luxury. She doesn't offer anything and already has a bad rep to the comic fans.

Shadow humping Maria
Shadow humping Rouge

>>538108872
that scene made sonadowfags seethe for months lol

>>538108872
Glad you're having fun

hnnnnnng

Tangle can fit in the games seamlessly.

But Whisper will need to be rewritten or else she'll be obnoxious. Also, her "subtlety" gay relationship with Tangle will have to be left behind in a jump to the games.

>>538108859
This is why she's mixed. Some people like her character, some heavily dislike it.
>>538108637
This is why it could be a big deal if they actually get put into CrossWorlds. That hypothetical is what we were talking about.

>>538109264
Every ship needs the wind to set sail just like every ship needs Sonic to be good
>>538109345
I like both ships but hot damn Shadow never stared at Sonic like this in official media
>>538109361
I am! can't wait to play Shadow x Generations over the holidays

>>538094640

>>538109535

>>538109650
I don't take absolutes seriously in discussions. You know people have different opinions on her character so why other pretending?

>>538109892
Lanolin and Whisper

>>538109832
Bro, I've rarely seen people say they like Lanolin as a character. They just like her design. That was the reason why she was even made a character.

>>538109892
Blaze

>>538110039
Nta but I like her character, more so than Whisper and Tangle too.

Amy

The Shadow logo as a tattoo on Maria's womb...

I like Belle. I know most people don't like her, and I really don't like the way they've been writing her as of recent, but she's a cute character that I feel is underdeveloped in spots. She just wants to help and feel important. I know they're gonna fuck up her story in the future... but I like to hope they pull a miracle.

>>538110039
Maybe you're only looking in one direction and not anywhere else. Or maybe you just don't like the character and can't stand the idea of anyone else possibly liking her introduction as a character. In any case, she's a mixed character for different reasons.

>>538109405
his glove looks like a funny face

>>538110472
Sounds more like you're defensive over Lanolin being disliked by the majority.

>>538110234
Is there a reason every time somebody says they like Lanolin someone else needs an explanation? Anyway it's simple, I like the stern personality, I like that she's flawed and I like how harshly her mentality stands out from the rest of her world. She's someone who has poor social skills, very clearly has giant trust issues and prefers rules and order to chaos, so pretty much a foil to Sonic and his friends. Just not in the "I'm you but different because xyz" way we're used to seeing in this franchise, and I love that about her.

>>538105487
>06 was the closest to their vision but everyone hated it because there were no hype moments and aura except Mephiles.
They hated it because it was a programming disaster from infighting that led to Naka jumping ship, splitting what few devs they had left between it and Secret Rings, and Sega refusing to budge on the anniversary release date.

>>538106692
I'm Bangladeshi it's noon here I can post on sthg whenever I'm at work

>>538110470
Her meeting Sage will make or break her character and knowing Evan it'll likely be the latter.

>>538110498
It does

>>538110608
I'm very indifferent about Lanolin, how did you come to that conclusion?

>>538110720
Belle has little to go but up at this point. Though she can easily drag Sage down to her level under Evan's pen.

>>538110746
You constantly replying.

>>538110807
>Though she can easily drag Sage down to her level under Evan's pen.
Lol. Imagine that happening and Silverbros going "Nevermind. You fags can have the AI generated daughter back."

Did I miss something? I thought people were optimistic about Evan since she had more capacity to recognize mistakes than the other writers.

>>538110848
Are you admitting that you're being disingenuous or got bored of derailing or something? It doesn't change anything that I said.

I really wish I could interact with this place more wholly if just to get more content for this place but I fucked up a few times and now I simply can't without having at least a dozen retards jumping on my ass and making my daily life a headache. I guess it's partially my fault for being an asshole at times but complete ostracization always seemed a bit harsh especially since I never tried to draw attention to myself. Oh well.

>>538111094
Evan destroyed all that goodwill when she talked about Lunar.

>>538111183
Shut up and talk about Sonic, blogbro

>>538111094
She inadvertently admitted on her blog (while trying to placate an angry tumblrina about the new nonbinary jester) that she doesn't plan out story arcs or even write out character concepts fully and just makes shit up on a issue-by-issue basis.

>>538111094
Evan being able to recognize and eventually correct herself on problems is one thing.
It's an entirely different problem if that woman legitimately has no idea what kind of franchise she's writing for and isn't interested in keeping her stuff in tone with the rest of it.

>>538111110
You're the one jumping to these wild conclusions and putting words in my mouth, son.

Literally and unironically what the FUCK was Evan thinking when doing this?

>>538111434
I have to admire the dedicated base Sonic 06 has cultivated despite being such an infamous entry in the series.

>>538111292

>Is there a reason every time somebody says they like Lanolin someone else needs an explanation?
No really, I get you're busy replying to the other guy but I'd like an explanation on this here. What IS up with that? Do we need to start hounding everyone else for reasons on why they like Whisper, Silver, Cream, Tails, Surge, etc? Why is it always Lanolin and only Lanolin that triggers the whole "Oh you need to explain that or you're faking it" mentality?

What? You explained. I disagree with it, but do you want me to pick a pointless fight over it or something?

>>538111414
I really do want to try and at least play devil's advocate to defend her here in her place but shit like this really is just inexcusable.

It would be one thing if she thought she was being smarmy. It would be another and more annoying thing if she was being meta like Ian does sometimes. Even if she hardly answered this question at all it would be more defensible.

Her literally admitting that she doesn't even know the plot twist for her own OC after their debut issue is out is just a whole 'nother level of fuckery that I genuinely cannot wrap my head around. Like okay, you didn't plan this character and for all intents and purposes you have been winging this entire comic for over a year. Let's assume that bleak factoid.
WHY IN THE LITERAL F U C K WOULD YOU EVER OUTRIGHT ADMIT THIS IN PUBLIC IN AN AMA??????????????????????????????????????
No seriously fucking WHY? WHYYYYY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WAS SHE TRYING TO BE HONEST? OKAY WELL DON'T JUST OUTRIGHT ADMIT YOU WING THIS SHIT THEN YOU STUPID CUNT!
WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE THINKING? OH MY FUCKING GOD!

>>538111970
Evan is like the Wind. She doesn't "plan", she just DOES.

>>538111970
Gigi just outright admitting on Twitter that her nor Ian ever even conversed about Mimic was kind putting the last nail in the coffin for this comic.
Evan pulling this card was funeral service putting the casket in the grave. I have absolutely zero interest in this shit for the rest of it's life time. I simply have no hope it'll ever get better.

On some level I appreciate the honesty she gives in this statement but at the same time, holy fuck you're right entirely. What point is there to discredit your entire work history and future like this?

>>538112386
It's going to be cancelled next year.

>>538111920
I'm asking why you need an explanation on an opposing opinion in the first place when nearly every other character doesn't usually trigger that response here while Lanolin nearly always does. What makes this one so special while the other ones can slide?

>>538111970
At some point you just have to realize that these people are stupid and no amount of shielding for the flak meant for them is going to matter.

>>538112450
Because I think Lanolin is an awful character who has ruffled a lot of feathers with fans due to certain moments in the comic and I would like to hear why people like this character?

>>538112386
If IDW doesn't turn a profit for this year (they won't) then this comic is guaranteed going to be cancelled when IDW liquidates itself in the next year. The time limit at this point is August of next year. If they can't pay off their interest in debts by that point they will be legally required to liquidate their assets and declare bankruptcy. This comic is already on borrowed time and the fact that none of the staff seem to be willing to even send it off with a few killer stories is just fucking sad.

>>538112449

>>538112386
It's being cancelled next year. Guaranteed.

>>538112386
They keep spewing their hot brown turd into the Sonic franchise. Stop now? We just got them to understand that Shiruba-kun is actually masculine and brave, not some gay sissy transwoman and you want us to stop?
Complaining works! so keep complaining

Some of you are that desperate to let Ian go it seems. somehow forgetting that Evan has been writing those comics for 6 years now

>>538112386
This isn't even a matter of mandates of IP costs. If IDW can't pay off their debt next year, the company is going to go bankrupt. This comic has, max, 10 issues left. Most likely even less. Screenshot this.

>>538112946
Sorry buddy but IDW Silver is the more canon one now

At some point, you just wanna watch the trains crashing into each other as it all explodes and burn.

>>538113017
Early era IDW (1-38) was Ian's fault almost entirely.
Everything else afterwards was Evan's fault and it's not even up for debate anymore. This woman fundamentally does not understand what the Sonic franchise is about or who it's even for.

>>538112865
Ah the good old days when we were optimistic for 3D Sonic right after Generations came out
Well I'll give them credit for trying something new that wasn't boost....

>>538112584
I see, my apologies then. I'm assuming you're relatively new here and aren't whoever was obsessively asking it to everyone then, since I've seen it asked to various posters like twenty times now over the course of a year. The responses generally aren't too varied, usually something like "I like how bitchy she is", "she's hot/cute", or something along the lines of what I said earlier.

>>538111414
Half of this is damage control from backlash and half of this is trying to say "Sega won't let me do what I want so I left it vague until I can get what I want". I would be more sympathetic of the IDW staff, but they brought it on themselves; they're constantly pushing the boundaries of whats acceptable (and I mean that in every way) and at this point my sympathy is exhausted. They're all subversive, ignorant, or incompetent in varying degrees.

>>538113258

>whatever random comment this is uses of terms like "feel and like" instead of any confirming words

>>538113353
I genuinely do not think Evan is intelligent enough to be intentionally pushing the boundaries on what this IP can do.
I literally think she is just trying to get as many brownie points via virtue signalling on internet forums to keep her place in the fandom when this shitshow is inevitably canned which makes this whole thing even worse because it means she's already given up on it as a lost cause.

Seriously what happened to people just being honest and open about what their intentions are? Why does everything nowadays need to be hidden under several layers of cultural and social warfare bullshit before an actual line of reason can be drawn?

I would have literally rather her just straight up say "Don't give a fuck about what I do in this comic because it doesn't matter, look forward to the next few Tailstubes though :)" because at least then I know she isn't completely fucking retarded.

>>538113667
>Don't give a fuck about what I do in this comic because it doesn't matter, look forward to the next few Tailstubes though :)" because at least then I know she isn't completely fucking retarded.
Evan quite literally is not that smart. I'm sorry to inform you of this.

I just don't get it. Why are modern sonic games and even it's media so god forsakenly terrible? What thought process goes behind this slop? Assuming there is any thought put into them.

>>538113653
You still replied~ ;)

>>538113667
I started feeling this way the moment Nite and Don were introduced.

By how some anons are acting you'd think Evan stole their houses and fucked their wives
She's just writing a comic you guys don't like kek

This just in: SEGA makes video games in exchange for money

>>538113873
There are countless reasons as to why the modern era is complete and utter trash. Just to name a few there is the awful storytelling, atrocious characterization of returning characters, bad art direction and presentation, bland levels, abysmal controls, cringe inducing dialogue, a lack of any real difficulty, bad voice acting, a clear lack of creativity and so, so much more. Honestly I could list the issues with the Modern era until the heat death of the universe and still not be finished. The sad thing is that a good portion of the fanbase are seemingly unaware of this, most likely due to a severe lack of taste.

The biggest issue with the Modernshit series is that it has strayed from the formula that made the Sonic franchise so popular in the first place. The original games were characterized by their fast-paced running levels, the use of momentum mechanics, the engaging platforming sections, and the game's overall sense of style and fun. It wasn't just a standard platformer, it was a revolutionary one. The Modern series, however, has been characterized by its reliance on automated, soulless hand holding gameplay, the use shitty half hearted gimmicks of the month and camera systems that don't function properly and general repetitive level design with no identity. Modern is truly proof that humanity would eat any piece of steaming shit if it coincides with their shit taste.

>>538113873
This image should use Iizuka's statements instead.

>>538113667
The woke shit is half of it, the other half is the types of stories. I really don't understand how Ian and Evan are so washed when they were just fine on Archie's Sonic Universe. The pacing was fine, the premises were interesting, the character utilization was varied. I feel like all liberal writers became retarded when Trump took office.

>>538113984

>>538114338
Archie's never coming back, and it's a good thing

This was the nexus point for Sonic
If it managed to come out it would've flopped, probably destroyed Sonic's reputation in the West and nobody would've trusted Sega enough to buy a Dreamcast to play SA1
Sonic dies in the West, Heroes is probably the final mainline Sonic game before they give up and in 2022, some indie dev makes a Sonic meme game like Bubsy and we laugh and call it a day

>>538114338
>good. we can sneak back Archie and do TROO FRAAR shit like the good ol days

>>538114253
I can confirm. They pretty much turned transformers and TMNT into some horrid late 2010's tumblr fanfic. Sonic would have definitely taken that path if sega didn't tard wrangle ian and his band of they/them troglodytes. Heck you can still see the effects slipping through the cracks in this shitty comic.

I would change the Richmunk point to just "green eyes arguments" in general, but otherwise I agree with you

>>538114957
He did research on obscure NPCs from Unleashed just to draw them together in the background of his most recent chapter. I don't think he will have a hard time learning about them

>>538114256
maybe ian got depression because their beloved freedom fighters died with archie

>>538114931
>Dividing Sonic into Classic and Modern in Generations
There was already a divide, Sega just made it official.
The real problem comes years later with Mania. Classic era is now an alt dimension instead of the past and its own sub-series of games that quickly went to shit.

>>538114068
I kind of feel bad for Iizuka on a personal level.
Imagine a creation of your design being so twisted and malformed from once you dreamed it to be. Iizuka at one point really did think they could be the DBZ of video games. This man literally almost died to keep this franchise alive and not nearly enough people in the fandom even know who he is.

I genuinely feel bad for this man and I hope that someone in his life tells him everyday that he's doing as much as he can and the best job that he could.

If you guys love Archie so much why dont you do what the Brits did with their Sonic comic and continue it as a fan project?

>>538114506

>>538115237
>There was already a divide, Sega just made it official.
And that was a mistake because they handled it very badly

>The real problem comes years later
No, the problem started with Generations. They could have handled it well from the start, but they didn't

>Classic era is now an alt dimension instead of the past
Good move (that they handled poorly, as you would expect)
"Classic Sonic" is better as a different dimension because it allows it to do its own thing instead of being stuck in the past. But they aren't handling it well, and put weird limits on what they allow themselves to do (example: Shadow can't appear, not even as a bonus, because he's still asleep/doesn't exist, but Classic Sonic can wear a Shadow onesie, that's just completely ridiculous nonsense)

>>538114626
So fucking true..

>>538115481
Back in the late 90's up to the mid and even late 00's, if you were on the same level as "DBZ" in household names, it was a sign of quality, fun and overall good times.

You gotta remember man, back in those times kids were practicing their KAMEHAMEHAs in the schoolyard playground.

Maria is so cute when she's angry!

I wish Slashy was here right now

Oh yeah
The second Iizuka retires this franchise is done for. He's the sole barrier between us getting absolute dog shit and "well they tried I guess"

>>538114626
The fact that even relatively new fandoms like Rivals of Aether fans straight up don't like Ian's stories and ignore them altogether is a really good gauge to determine how "good" these writers are.

>>538115237
>There was already a divide, Sega just made it official.
The divide was a false perception from casuals who didn't understand the "classic games" nor Sonic in general. The Meta Era officially making "Classic Sonic" a thing created a canonized version of the false perception. The divide was only imaginary, until Sonic Generations made it real.

>>538115717
its over.....

Bun!

>>538115620
technically Sonic has already reached that point.
We have a trilogy of successful movies.

>>538115717
he is the reason why frontiers got delayed
SEGA plan was to send sonic to die again just like 06 and boom

>>538115920

So Tangle and Whisper are basically confirmed now for crossworlds right? The Tailstube showed we can get character’s boards before they get in the game.

>>538115508
>because it allows it to do its own thing
It’s a design preference and it would be forever trapped as a 2D platformer.
You replace all the classic designs with modern in mania and superstars and it really wouldn’t make a difference

>classic Shadow
The entire point of classic Sonic is no Shadow nor Silver, even if nobody realizes it. You could add Cream, Blaze, and Marine and nobody would care.

The amount of effort, time and simply manpower that Iizuka has personally invested into this franchise should grant him the respect of basically every characterfag in this fandom, including even Archiefags.
Shadow the Hedgehog and by virtue Rouge, Omega, Cream and Emerl wouldn't even fucking exist if he wasn't involved.

>>538116443
Nope. Also, didn't Whisper use a bike in the comic?
