Since when did the official Sonic Twitter feed become a self-aware parody? Why hasn't Capcom shut it down yet?

>he didn't know about the year of memes
>>342369751
At least Eggman's waiting until after his birthday to hack his channel. That's considerate of him.
>>342369751
I think it happened at some point during 2015. I remember that there was a thread on /v/ about it.
>>342370275
atleast it makes for great reaction pics
>>342370619
June 9th, 2015 is when the memes started.

Why would they?
>>342369751
He's healing Sonic reputation.
Years after years of autism won't go away for itself, someone has taken the duty of cleaning the Hedgehogs name, one twit at a time.
>>342370275
I like how Jensen is just casually dragged into all of this
>>342369751
How retarded do you have to be to think SEGA isn't aware of this?
>>342370969
I agree. People get butthurt about the memes, but Aaron really does genuinely love Sonic and when it all boils down to it he's just trying to make people smile in any way that he can. Besides, he's the only one who dares use the official Twitter account to poke fun at the franchise's lesser products.
>Sonic is finally hip again
Kinda cool. Makes no sense if Mario was doing it, but it's strangely fitting for Sonic to be a memey shitposter.
>Make a truly bad game every year for 12 years straight with an occasional subpar "good" game popping up
>Be responsible for some of the worst games of all time, maybe even THE worst game of all time
>Be responsible for a virtual galaxy of autistic furry porn and pure undiluted cringe
>Be washed up joke of the gaming industry amd transcend into memehood
>"H...how do we get people to like Sonic unironically again?"
>"Some guy tweeting smug, asinine comments all day might help!"
It's actually kind of sad, it's pretty much the equivalent of Brendan Fraser trying to maintain relevency by doing roast-style sardonic stand up comedy toward other more succesful actors. It screams a pathetic "GUYS REMEMBER ME, REMEMBER HOW LE QUIRKY SONIC IS?!" message that will do nothing for the brand. Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom still exist, all the weird deviant art shit still exists, the brand is a joke.
Hey at least Chao Garden was cool.
>>342371580
Inafune, please.
>>342371826
>Mighty no. 9 is pure shit
>It's still better than 90% of Sonic games
>>342371151
He didn't ask for, it, you know.
>>342371530
This. His original shtick was being edgy and having 'tude, since that was what was cool and trendy in the 90's. Meme spewing is kind of the 10's equivalent of that.
I think one of the reasons Sonic started to lose relevance in the 00's was because Sega did a poor job of adapting him to the trends of the decade, which was being dark and edgy. Shadow and Sonic 06 were steps in that direction, but both were very poorly executed.
>>342371443
It's nothing but memes, though. I would prefer a bit more variety.
>even Sonic roasted MN09
>>342371580
>"Some guy tweeting smug, asinine comments all day might help!"
spoilers: it is
>>342371580
so butthurt
>>342371580
Sonic being a retarded shitposter fits his original personality like a glove. The only problem is he doesn't have any good recent games to back it up (the last passable Sonic game released was Generations all the way back in 2011).
>>342372183
Nah. Just recently we had that National Best Friends Day picture with Sonic and Tails. That was cute.
>>342372317
It really isn't, though. People like Aaron, not the Sonic franchise.

>>342369751
Cause it's mostly harmless and it's essentially free publicity when he doles out those sick Inafune burns
Sonic "WOAH SO LEET" roasting Mighty no. 9 is the equivilent of a severely retarded kid making fun of a younger, slightly less retarded kid. They're both still retarded.

The Sonic and Deus Ex twitter have gone back and worth on quite a few things.
>>342372693
do you think the guy running the sonic the hedgehog twitter account is actually sonic
are you legitimately autistic
>>342369751
A videogame company trying to do fun stuff?
What do they think this is? A GAME?
>>342373053
well duh
it's verified
>>342372931
But I think mighty no. 9 is cancer, I haven't backed it just out of it being a shameless mega man expy from the get go. I just happen to think Sonic calling a game out for being bad is the pot calling the kettle black
>>342373053
Uhhh, what? How could you not know I meant the "brand" of Sonic? Are YOU autistic?
>>342373183
different circumstances for sonics bad games, mainly the fact that sonic roller coastering between good and bad games is nothing new, and sonic doesn't scam people out of 4 million dollars through kickstater
>>342373183
The Sonic twitter makes fun of its own series too.
Sonic Boom, Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic 06, Sonic Riders, Sonic and the secret rings
>>342371580
>Hey at least Chao Garden was cool.
It was boring shit.

In your own sentence you described exactly why Sonic has been dead since the Dreamcast. It doesn't matter how many Sonic+Furry friends games you put out or how many cameos he makes in Maryoh games. Sonic is dead and has been since Sega's demise. Sega still stays quiet making slot machines, why can't Sonic die a nice quiet death?
Fuck, how do they even market Sonic these days? No one young enough to like Sonic could know of the Genesis and games. Sonic is literally just a husk of a once great gaming company, marketed to bring in a few more dollerydoos.
To make the argument from childhood clear: Mario won.

Is Sonic the best video game character (or character design) of all time?
>>342378320
Never felt the Genesis games were all that great. They were alright but I always hated some of the decisions the Sonic team made for it. Like how you can run off screen. Not saying they were bad but I can list way more better platformers from the 8 and 16 bit era that were miles better.
>>342374293
>why have i been hearing the earth is flat shit so much lately?
I thought that was the latest hip meme to cross over into other boards. Like Baneposting, or when /mu/ believed Mozart was alive (which he isn't)

Rednecks and /x/ got tired of doing 9/11 and fake moon landing theories, so they all decided to make the flat Earth theory into the next big thing.
And their best argument are: "can you prove that scientist and all these books aren't lying?". "The other day I put a ruler on the ground and the Earth certainly wasn't round"
>>342371530
>Makes no sense if Mario was doing it, but it's strangely fitting for Sonic to be a memey shitposter.
Yeah I agree 100%. The idea of Nintendo posting dumb memes on twitter just comes off as artificial and as a desperate attempt for attention (it doesn't help that when they do it, it seems to just amount to "hey here's a meme") but with Sonic it just seems right. Like it actually fits the brand in a way that its twitter account would be run by a shitposting memer.

It does if you actually had a genesis. While 3 was good despite focusing more on power ups than speed, knuckles was a buggy mess made by the American team. It was also slow as fuck. The backwards compatibility never worked
>>342379967
Instead nintendo posts dumb memes in their translations. Much worse

What the hell is everyone in this thread smoking, that this hasn't been pointed out?
Of course Capcom isn't going to demand an apology from Sega, MN9 isn't their fucking game. In fact, they're probably laughing it up right now.
>>342369751
Memes work. And if there's one thing better than memes, it's official memes. Look at the follower count, most journalists or whatever dont even come close. Similar thing as Play Asia a couple of months ago. Or "Hillary's" Delete your account tweet.
>>342380129
The argument isn't about which is more challenging just what is a better game. Yes Kirby has always been design for people that can't platform. I mean it's a platformer where you can float forever. But it's level design and gameplay has always made it one of the most enjoyable series in gaming.

I think we'll get something tomorrow. I know all signs point to the party in July for game news but I can't imagine SEGA would let the actual 25th anniversary go by without doing anytihng.
Don't forget that Sonic Generations got that cool CGI revealing Classic Sonic several weeks before the game was officially announced. Maybe something similar will happen.
