Who canonically wins this fight?
>>
>>340363019
Sonic
>>
>>340363019
Neither. Shadow technically could be considered to have "won" because all he needed to do was delay Sonic long enough for his master plan to start, but he didn't actually beat Sonic in a fight.

>tfw I mouth out how sonic says this everytime I play this

>>340363019
Dark's finale seems to fit the last story more. It makes more sense for Sonic to have never made it to the cannon and blown it up, since it seems to be okay when Gerald's failsafe activates.
>>
>>340363019
Sonic wins.
Shad is left knocked out and later returns to the Ark to oversee Gerald's plan carry out.

Sonic simply because if shadow had won he would have killed sonic.

they need to build on the boost system. its still too simple, make it harder to maintain and make it so that you can transition to/from it with the platforming, rewarding the player for making skilled actions to keep it going seamlessly. also give it a mechanical "inertia" to make it harder to start up, and allow the player to take advantage of it when thay "take there foot off the gas"

Why are sonic characters so dam sexy, is it because it's an artstyle we've grown familiar with or is it the body proportions of the characters themselves?

It's entirely because of familiarity with the characters.

We have known these characters for so long and have gotten to know them on some level that a sexual attraction just is the logical next step.
It's similar to Misty in the pokemon series. She's nothing special but because we grew up watching her, any bud art stimulates us in a way that makes us very interested.

Then you add this to the characterizations and personalities of sonic characters, which are for the most part non-sexual, and you get some really attractive shit when you actually make them skanky. This is the same reason the hottest sonic character is sonic himself.

I have a funny story about pic related.

One time while replaying the game I was playing knuckles's story and I was about to trigger this cutscene. I approached the hotel from the casio and entered the building, to find eggman's character model standing in the plaza of the hotel. He was just standing there repeating his idle animation. Because of this I couldnt trigger the cutscene: I couldnt enter the elevator and fight the boss because eggman's model wouldnt move. Because of this my save file entered a softlock because I physically could not progress through the game.

this is one of the most bizarre glitches i have encountered in a game. I was only 13 or something when it happened so I didnt archive it, unfortunately.

So when /v/ when did you get over your sonic phase and how?
I got over it when I was 11.
Shadow The Hedgehog cooled my love for the series and sonic 06 completely killed it.

Got over my Sonic phase after Shadow came out, Generations brought me back into it, but I lost interest again until 2014.
>>
>>340377394
Well, I'm here so I can't be fully over it.

I'm not even 5% of the fan I used to be though, Sonic fucking ruled my childhood to adulthood, it used to be all I'd ever think about during my teens, instead of hanging out during breaks at school I'd be in the computer rooms googling Sonic. I made OCs, I fucking read fanfiction everything.

I beat all of the Wii games except Colors, which is super fucking overrated and the last game I beat was Generations. Haven't touched a Sonic game since.

Sonic games lost the passion or something for me after unleashed and black knight. Does anyone else get what i mean? I dont know how to explain it...sonic games used to feel like adventures and the nu sonic games starting with colors just feel like level packs with some shitty cutscenes and story ever now and then. If this anniversary game doesnt return to pre-2010 sonic customs then I'm pretty much done with the series sadly. This colors/generations/lost world game and story design philosophy just isnt for me. Maybe itll finally be time to move and let this generation of kids have their sonic since I had mine back in the early 2000s.

Shadow was disappointing, still enjoyed it. Around 13, I figured I was "too old" to like Sonic anymore. When Unleashed was announced, the werehog completely disgusted me and I forgot Sonic for a while. Slowly got interested again thanks to the /co/ story times, Generations and then was fully dragged in by the Ride. And I never got off.

When I was a kid I played Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the PC religiously. Then it kinda ebbed, but when I was 14 I went into an extreme Sonic phase for about half a year that my friends never let me live down.

Been kind of a low key fan ever since.

Its because sega is trying to play it safe and keep sonic's image clean. They took big risks with sonic 06 having the game be over-dramatic and realistic. It actually worked with the adventure games because they were more zany and saturday morning cartoon-like and less serious, but still had deep stories. Also the adventure games were actually pretty good, so that helps.

Sega has lost its direction with sonic so now they are trying to play it safe. They know that they have fucked up and it shows with their newest games, which dont take chances story-wise.
>>
>>340379275
252, soft reboot happened.
Read the Universe series from a certain point too, I think it's a Knuckles and Shadow issue.

Shadow and 06 arent good directions/tones the series should go in. The fact that they nailed it perfectly right after 06 with unleasheds story and setting is remarkable and its one of the things they shouldve maintained going forward. SA and unleashed have the best stories in the games, all obviously cartoony but there is still stakes and drama pushing the plot forward. Pontac and graff, pontaff, are fucking terrible writers. The fact theyre still calling the story shots, 6 years later is so disappointing.

Thanks, I'll check it out if I can decide where I want to start.

I want to go with the reboot but there doesn't seem to be that much content at the moment and there were a bunch of things that I wanted to find out about in earlier stories.

Might take a stab in the earlier issues but not too early, maybe 160 like one of you said the new writer joined?

>Might take a stab in the earlier issues but not too early, maybe 160 like one of you said the new writer joined?
Yeah, if you wanna do pre-reboot stuff, that's the place to start if you wanna cut the bullshit. I personally think starting from the very beginning is better because there are a few genuine gems pre-160 (Like Mecha Madness), but I can understand wanting to start where it got consistently good

Contrary to popular theories (that he modeled it after Perfect Chaos), a lizard was chosen because of their regenerative properties, able to regrow lost limbs and tails.
Maria was suffering from a degenerative disease so this seemed like a good area of research to start with.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out as well as Gerald hoped and Biolizard was violent and unruly, especially when exposed to the Chaos Emeralds, and required a life support system powered by Chaos Drives (something Gerald developed during the research) just to stay alive.

This is all revealed in the Japanese strategy guide.
http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Adventure_2_-_The_Truth_of_50_Years_Ago...

Now as for why he changed to a hedgehog still isn't explained, but officially some aliens showed up and gave him Black Doom's DNA to use.

well its the best guess why Gerald used black dooms dna to make a fucking hedgehog of all things, as well as the why shadows quills are upturned(trying to replicate the super sonic silhouette in the mural)

finally got around to it on ps2 i think, and everything about it was shit.

the framerate was terrible, the sound quality varied between sound effects and shit. the level design was so weak compared to adventure 2. it felt like a 3d chaotix, but they didn't even include mighty. dropped it after the first stage.

The Sonic games from Adventure 1 to Shadow had continuity between them.

>>340374259
I'm upset they didn't stick with the white gold appearance for shadow and instead just retconned him to be regular gold like Sonic (but a bit lighter). Super Sonic is gold because it's the opposite of blue, and Super Shadow was white because it's the opposite of black.

>>340384423
Source? Because they used that same design philosophy when they made Super Scourge.
>>
>>340383828
Basically, Shadow was still considered "Dead" during Heroes, but he actually survived because he was still Super for most of his descent.
Eggman found him, researched him for a bit then put him into a Stasis Pod to ensure he doesn't ruin his plans, and proceeds to make Robo-Clones.
Rouge finds the real Shadow along with Omega, awakens both of them and it turns out Shadow has amnesia from his crash landing, which the game uses to make it seem like he's just another Robo-Clone especially since Eggman used the exact same Stasis Pods for his Clones.

>>340384475
so if you disassemble your ps2, and buy one of these replacement housings for it that doubles as a lid for your disc drive, you can play backups with these discs called swap magic

basically you take swap magic, load it up like a normal game, it tells the system a big game is being loaded up and then stops the drive. you open the top, throw in a copied version of any game you want, close the lid and hit x and off you go.

It was around 2007-2008, when I was poor and couldn't afford console to play sonic 06. Before that I played every single Sonic game on dreamcast, PC and sega, I think I replayed SA1 and SA2 at least 15 times and rewatched Sonic X at least 5 times.

Now I don't get hyped for it at all, but honestly, I'd still take SA1/SA2 over any sonic game that came out after 06

Super Scourge was not made by the same people that made Super Shadow. The comic staff may have been following the "opposite" philosophy when making that but the SA2 devs were not.
>>
>>340384783
Status Quo is God, unfortunately.
>>
>>340384826
I know that. But they would've never done it if there wasn't a precedent with Sonic turning gold and Shadow turning white.

It's complete bullshit if they tried to pass it off as a "rendering error" to explain the retcon.
Even if you ignore the inverted colors, if they were both gold, you wouldn't be able to easily tell them apart, which is bad from a gameplay standpoint. It had to have been an intentional decision since they would both be on screen at the same time.

It's a port of the Battle version at 720p with the 2P mode and themes sold as DLC.

I'd say it's a much, much, much better port than the lazy SADX port.

>>340385617
The pc port has a stuttering problme where it randomly freezes for a few seconds before moving again. The 360/ps3 ports are just fine and it fells best with the 360 controller anyway. The 360 also serves as a great sonic box
