Sonic and Surge
>>582007124Ridiculously fast and efficient running, came out earlier so people used it a lot back in the day, and made with Japanese software wizardry
First Barry of the thread
>>582007012Knuckles dies in proximity to soda-drinking.
I don't think Sonic would of died for good if his movie flopped, I think he'd be a Nintendo character, not that sega would sell him outright but rather Nintendo would fund games for him like they did with Bayonetta because sonic fans tend to buy Nintendo products more the numbers even show that Sonic sells more on Nintendo systems than anywhere else even if the game is shittier quality like Forces and Frontiers, Crossworlds and Superstars the Ninendo man children fuck with that more than PC, Sony and Microsoft users and players. imagine it, a world where Sonic is a sega-nintendo franchise, IDW, movies, collaberations out the ass and fan projects no longer exist because nintendo loves being a bully. wouldn't that be ideal? I mean at most he'd probably be like Megaman where he gets a new title once in ab lue moon and nothing but re-releases for the majority
>>582007012ENTERhttps://youtu.be/DMmh6PU9rPk
>>582007313>wouldn't that be ideal?No, because I'm never buying a Nintendo console again.
>>582007210>people used it a lot back in the day,Implying people have moved on to other programs, which makes me wonder why they would switch in the first place?
>>582007313>I think he'd be a Nintendo characterThis feels like the new "Nintendo is gonna go third party like SEGA".This thing duning krugers say enough that they think it is smarter and more correct than it actually is
>>582007271Tails!? Why would you drink the soda that kills Knuckles?!?
>>582007441Also it had a really good brush engine
>>582007189>Film is a month old>Has 100 times as much ship art as Shiturge

*headpats your OC*
>>582007490>What happens when I drink something and I die?That's poisonous >What if something drinks me and I die?That's venomous >What if I drink something and someone else dies?That's voodoo >What if I drink something and nobody dies?That's kinky
>>582007606>>582007169I want more Tails and Knuckles interactions
Blobians and humans are different but it's not supposed to come up
4Gamer: 2026 marks the 35th anniversary of Sonic’s debut—a truly memorable year. While it’s difficult to look back on everything, could you tell us about the period since you, Mr. Iizuka, became the executive producer?Takashi Iizuka (Mr. Iizuka): I became a producer in 2010, and in a sense, that moment may have been a turning point for the series. Before that, each title had its own director, and they each created games based on their own unique vision of Sonic. The “Sonic Adventure” series, for which I was the director, was developed in the U.S., while in Japan, we were working on “Sonic and the Secret Ring.” Even though they were both titles from the same Sonic team, there was a disconnect in terms of both distance and direction.
>>582007012
>>582007860I like this explanation better than "Actually, Amy is a human girl"
Was making Shadow part alien a good idea in the long run?
Gimp? pts? photoshop?armatures
>>582007607>hadDid something change?
If Shadow hates humans why was he going to kill everyone else too
>>582008059can't hatch an egg without fucking the chicken
>>582007990It feels superfluous, honestly.
>>582008137You r been waiting years for an excuse to post this
>>582007990It’s just an avenue for the gary stu-ness to expand
what is up with moids and having the weirdest fucking fetishes? Like you all talk about being superior and more human than women, but then you jerk off to the idea of shitting yourself in a diaper. Like you can project and claim women are freaks all you want, but what fetishes do women really take claim in? Being lovingly ravished by chad? Two anime chads kissing and having emotional sex with non visible genitalia (meanwhile moids are obsessed with genital orbs and lust penises and barely think about anything else)All males can do is project, they jerk off to the nastiest shit, and to be honest, they don't belong anywhere near the Sonic fandom. You can cry about Evan Stanley all you want, but Ian Flynn is far worse. Ian Flynn loves writing Shadow like shit, putting his lame, boring colored lesbian fetish characters in the story (who don't even have personalities outside of crying and moralfagging)At least Japanese scrotes understand the importance of 2D chads (despite being disgusting subhuman pedos), meanwhile moids are all the worst parts of Japan moids but worse, since they are scared of 2D chads.Males need to be GONE from Sonic. Go play Halo or Madden Sportsball 20xx or whatever. Sonic is for women.
>>582007169>>582007606>>582007787Speaking of Knuckles and Tails there was this pic on DA I saw ages ago where Knuckles was sitting on stairs to Master Emerald with Tails curled up sleeping next to him. I never found it again.
>>582007861The way this is presented, you'd be forgiven for thinking he is implying every game up to Unleashed was a Sonic Adventure game.
Melty here! Get your MELTING hot chilidog here!
>>582007470The only thing it gives Nintendo where they are is the ability to only develop for a single system. No one buys Nintendo hardware for anything except their exclusives and they don't even turn a profit on it, at least not one worth mentioning. Nintendo is as much as software company as Sega is, they just pretend like they're still in the console game when every Nintendo console for the last 25 years has been a TV converter for Nintendo games.
>>582008773Either he is memory-holing 2006 on purpose, or he is going senile.
>>582007861>The “Sonic Adventure” series, for which I was the director, was developed in the U.S.the most widely praised sonic games were us products?uh oh what do the jap purists have to say about this blunder?
>>582008059Because he doesn't have specifically humans and never did.
>>582007271Every time a fox drinks a mint soda, an echidna loses his grapes.
If you use "Sonamy bestie" as an insult everyone knows you're a retard
>>582007990Sells how alienated he is from the world and how he will never beling and will always be seen as a threat.Alien freak.
>>582009045I'm fairly certain but not in a position to look it up right now that Adventure 1 was made in Japan with a staff of over 100 people and they kicked Iizuka and his team of like 12 people over to San Francisco to make SA2. But Sonic 2/3&K were made in San Francisco also.
>>582009232>mint soda
>>582007990>>582008154>>582008251>Replying to yourself
Would Sonic and Shadow occupy different slots on the Omnitrix
But for real, that anon last thread was mean.I am adrift in purpose... What to do about it?
>>582009486no?
It's not anybody's job to police me but me. Let me make my bad decisions in peace. I don't think bullying is ever justified.I want you to stop controlling me or policing my bshavior. I am really annoyed that this is coming back. What caused it? The fact that I considered being transgender again? My pride becoming bigger again?Why do my choices have to be controlled by you?I am already trying to a degree to do better than before. I don't get it. Was it the comment where I said "I get bullied no matter what I do?"I just don't want to be mad at anyone anymore. I really do not want a repeat of everything that's already happened.Please give a direct response of some kind instead of just pushing ahead and bullying me. I don't know if it's going too far to ask for this.
>>582008405>but what fetishes do women really take claim in?Getting fucked by dogs and horses and brutalized and Impregnated and droned by aliens.This is me being tame. All studies have shown women have way more depraved fantasies and fetishist than men. Most men just develop fixations on a body part or something.
>>582009669We do not know who you are.
ooooh its actual schizo hour
some people should probably stop visiting 4chan, twitter, and basically the whole internet. you obviously cannot handle it.
>>582008947Nintendo were the first to day thry weren't competing with other consoles as early as the Wii. Snoys and xbots were always the ones being barbarian neanderthals making shitty PCs chasing power and graphical fidelity and trying to be shitty movies rather than building a proper base of recognizable IPs and a brand identity and creating novel play experiences as a priority.
>>582007861>Before that, each title had its own director, and they each created games based on their own unique vision of Sonic.And the franchise was better this way. Now it's full of clueless retards and narcissists suffering from too many cooks in the kitchen trying to influence Sonic because they have no legacy anywhere else. But Iizuka is a shill anyway, you'll hear him say years later that this era was shitty and that he hated that the franchise relied on the movies
>>582009531>>582009908I've had it. I've had it all.Goodbye sthg, goodbye life
>>582008968Eh not really. Nothing he is saying is really wrong. The handheld games and Wii games were made by different people from Iizuka and co.
>>582009669What are you talking about
Stacyiona! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4HnYattvkc
>>582010097See you tomorrow
>>582010097You do know that's just my novelty supersoaker, right, ya dingy?
>>582009045>still doing this cope all these years later.Made by janaese people
>>582009495Sonic wouldnt even trigger it unless you wanna argue the Omnitrix works on ants and cheetahs. If Ben used it to sample Shadow, he would just get Black Arms DNA specifically, not become a mini Shadow.
>>582010390But Marine, you're holding it.
>>582010128The way he says it's kinda like he's saying that everything up to Secret Rings was Sonic Adventure, or that while he worked on Adventure, they were making Secret Rings.
>>582010260
>Uuuu>I told Tangle to pick up XXXL pants but she came home with fucking XL? That bitch is trying to expose my ass in front of Jewel!Oh god...I'm gonna uuuuuuuuu
Douge
>>582007902Korone wishes Knuckles would look at her like this
Literally all I ask for is that there is at least a passing mention that Tails and Knuckles hang out sometimes (most probably training) outside of Sonic's involvement. Like even just having Knuckles mention that after they wrap up the current adventure they're on, he's gonna need to start sparring with him harder or Tails saying he needs to get more training with Knuckles in.That's all I ask for.
>>582007313This is a slashy ai post
>>582011003Knuckles and Tails are Sonic's friends. They aren't friends. None of the cast are friends with each other besides Cream and Amy and Cream and Amy are frenemies.
>>582010636Ya think I only had one!?! Say yer prayers!!*watergun*
>>582011003Best I can do for you is to pretend the characters don't exist outside of Sonic's immediate perception of reality.
>>582010715I have no idea who you are.
>>582011129>Cream and Amy are frenemies.Que
>>582009724I have a special interest in reading studies on human and animal sexuality, I haven’t seen any reputable one that substantiates what you’re saying, aside from male sexuality being more object focused/target focused. The same logic applies to stimuli in general, and men are also more likely to fixate on a routine/ritual (including ones considered depraved).
>>582011398
>>582009378Iizuka and a few other Sonic Team members went over to the U.S to get feedback from the western market. Iizuka lived in San Francisco from 1999-2008. In 2008, he returned to Japan but in 2016, he returned to California, this time to Los Angeles. He's been living there ever since
Women do not enjoy sex and im tired that we pretend otherwise. They view sex as a resource transaction.
>>582010646I know that is how people are gonna read it, but iizuka isnt typing a post for people to read online. He is speaking free form.He is just naming things made by the respective groups.
>>582007996>etch a sketchI remember having one of these when I was kid. Nostalgia
>>582011129This is why the movies are carrying this sorry franchise
>>582011635
>>582011698
>>582009836If I’ve been good can I rub them?
>>582011781You can just look up any study about the sexual preferences between genders if you think im wrong.
>>582011635Women barely know how to have sex. The number of women who say shit like "Sex is painful for all women" is insane. A lot of them intentionally choose to just not communicate what would make it better or easier.
>>582011635Men do not enjoy sex and im tired that we pretend otherwise. They view sex as a needing to go to the bathroom.
how can i enjoy sex if i never had it
>>582011698>>582011786>Friends can never be upset with one another.
>>582012109That's because a lot of women only find the top 5 percent of men attractive but they often can't get them so they have to choose between settling with someone they're not attracted to. Be alone and childless. Or essentially be in a harem.If anything I just said here is news to you then you have not been paying attention to what women have been saying for the past 3 decades. Women do not like most men. They would genuinely prefer if we just died.
Bug
>>582012345I understand that you're not a woman, anon. But trust me on this. Women who act like this secretly want to undermine one another. It is not being 'upset' momentarily. Cream is disrespecting Amy and trying to imply her crush is illegitimate.
>>582012586Cream is the stand-in for most of the Sonic fandom that hates Amy. God it.
>>582012586Jesus, man. That's a 6yo. They say things without thinking all the time.
>>582012776Got it*
>>582007990Shadow should have died at the end of SA2, so no. Also makes gerald seem like an omega hack who couldn't do anything right without cheating.
>>582012909AGES DO NOT TRUMP GAME CHARACTERIZATIONSONIC ANIMAL PEOPLE AGES ARE NOT EQUIVALENT TO HUMAN AGESEVEN IF THEY WERE, CHILDREN CAN INSULT PEOPLE KNOWINGLYCREAM IS INTENTIONALLY DISRESPECTING AMY HERETO PRETEND OTHERWISE IS TO DENY THE GAME TEXT AND PROJECT YOUR OWN NEUROSIS AND PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR ONTO A FICTIONAL BUNNY RABBITWESTERN POISONED, JP FANS DO NOT ACT LIKE THIS
>>582012586Normally I'd agree with you but only Amy is really old enough to play social games like that. It was probably meant to be taken as Cream speaking before thinking because she's a kid.
>>582013045chill out
Is Realdash dead yet?
>>582013045Do you think the elementary kids walking home from school are spying on you also by chance?
>>582013045Oh, you're just shitposting.
I'm going to shit in your pants.
>>582012586>thinks I dont k ow about frenemy dynamicsCream is 6. She isn't being malicious. She is being ignorant.
>>582013137Cream is supposed to be refined and intelligent. Not a 'ditz'. A 'dumb, stupid' child would not speak in desu-masu. The localization for this isn't perfect but the Japanese script communicates this better Cream shares her vocabulary with far more mature characters like Blaze.Trying to say 'she's six' so she cannot have a rich inner world or thoughts is trying to argue that stuff that the FUCKING VIDEO GAMES show 'isn't real' because of your preconceived notions of FICTIONAL CHARACTER AGES THAT WERE DELISTED FOR A REASONYou know why sega of japan axed the ages? Retarded westoids like you were using them in lieu of respecting the games' characterizationsAND YOU'RE STILL DOING IT
>>582013208I hope not
>>582011635Women enjoy sex, they just don’t enjoy it with ugly retards. Blame your ugly retarded male ancestors for using rape to save their genes from extinction.The post-patriarchy world for women is like your world, if 95% of the female population were post-menopausal landwhales. It’s not that you wouldn’t enjoy sex in theory, you just wouldn’t enjoy sex with most of the options you’re presented with.
>>582013356Do you wear a helmet when you go outside?
>>582013028SA2 itself already makes Gerald put yo have seen himself as a failure since he couldn't cure Maria.
>>582013045>SONIC ANIMAL PEOPLE AGES ARE NOT EQUIVALENT TO HUMAN AGESI mean strictly speaking Cream's age at one point was given as 6 in human years, whatever the hell they meant at the time.https://sonic.sega.jp/advance2/cream.html
>>582012776Cream is the epitome of Sonic's shitty friends
>>582013478>95% of the female population were post-menopausal landwhales. It’s not that you wouldn’t enjoy sex in theory, you just wouldn’t enjoy sex with most of the options you’re presented with.I mean realistically speaking at least half the female population at this point is completely unattractive to me anyway but that's less so because I'm picky and moreso because I refuse to be step-dad to a full grown adult women because she has mental and childhood problems she refuses to address. I dont even need to mention the obesity and ozempic addiction shit.
>>582013356>Cream is supposed to be refined and intelligenNo lol. She is supposed to be well-mannered and behaved. She disciplined, not particuarly smart or sophisticated.You're confusing writer intention for in universe character motivation.The writer is undermining Amy intentionally. Cream is doing so innocently because she is just a kid.
I start to question "my diagnosed at age 5" autism when I come here.
>>582013028the series should have died at the end of SA2
>>582013649Better than spats
>>582013834This is you being picky, there’s no shame in having standards.
sthg is surprisingly unphased by the news that Sega almost killed Sonic a while ago
>>582013834I genuinely thought you were going to say because so many of them have fatherless children. And frankly I'm surprised you left that out.Sonic the Absent Father
>>582014083I want it to die
>>582014083>surprisingly
>>582013838>No lol. She is supposed to be well-mannered and behaved. She disciplined, not particuarly smart or sophisticated.lol whoops, forgot how useless cream actually is
>>582013694Damn, she's 6? That's not what she and Sonic Channel told me last night.
>>582014083Because we heard it a long fucking time ago. It's not new news. Iizuka's talked about it before. I'm not sure why everyone suddenly gives a shit about old news.
>>582014083This isnt news. We learned this about a month ago. You people are playing catch-up
I prefer equality. It's easier to imagine for me if women are basically the same as men, but with minor differences, instead of a different type of human.So I don't distinguish between all this sex girls mean to each other bullshit you're talking about
>>582014083we knew in 2018.
>>582014101Sonic actually did spend time with his kid. He'd be unconventional, but he'd be an okay father.
>>582014508This new campaign is bold.
>>582014436Sonic and Amy would be excellent parents
>>582007189>shipfaggotry in mcu spider manThis is why Raimi Spider Man will always be better.
>>582011698>>582011786hey, maybe knuckles and amy being brutish idiots would be charming if they were fucking playable
>>582014305True ascension is understanding the disparate nature of men and women while not getting in your feels about it. You can treat them both equally as human beings while not moralizing over their unique reproductive incentives.
>>582014250to be fair lizuka says so much bullshit I don't bother valuing his words much
>>582014305Equality-fetishism is dumb. Most importantly, its a lie. You dont actually want equality. No one does really. What we want is to be seen as sufficiently important and irreplaceable in some fashion.Equalityfagging actually does the opposite because it turns everyone into interchangeable units.
>>582007189Based
>>582014654What are they feeding him
>>582014083I’ve been hearing about Sonic almost dying for decades
There are no Cream fans here.There are more infinite fans than Cream fans.Most women here are Shadow fans (not really Sonic fans).There was a couple who were dressed as Shadamy with Team Sonic kids.The Sonic Tonic costs $14 USD.
>>582015029Based dad being shitdow since his kid already claimed Sonic
>>582014101I'd say maybe women should learn how to pick better men but they literally do not care. That's the thing a lot of men need to come to realize. Women aren't so stupid that they can learn from mistakes. They know they are chosing horrible men but they don't care because it makes their pussy tingle. It's also why they want to have free abortions at any point during pregnancy. They want all the fun with a bail out at anytime.A lot of men get angry once they realize this but that's the first step to accepting what women are in the modern day. This is just how they operate when given sexual freedom.
There is no Cream merch here.Sonic, Shadow, and Amy merch has the headline.Most people here are Shadow fans (not just the women, but the men and the children too).This feels very movie focused.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and agree with Sega. The Sonic series frankly feels like it has nothing left to offer. Right now it's just gachaslop and crossovers. It takes longer to make one mediocre game. All the people involved are old or getting old. The series has actual shills to feign popularity. It's completely depends on the movies as a lifeline which won't last forever. Most of the fans remaining don't really even engage with the series outside of the "vibes" like fanart and headcanon discussion. Sonic literally functions like a fake franchise.
>>582015223Me on the right
>>582014725I will treat woman as fundamentally the same type of human as men and I don't care about biology
>>582015257I mean you say that but honestly this event I just went to is incredibly packed. There are more people than I expected considering it's just local talent playing Sonic music. It is actually insane I think the movies are doing a good job maintaining this franchise.
>>582015402NTA but you're going to have a very hard time making friends with them if you do that. Women do not want to be treated like men.
>>582015257No, fuck that. I still pay attention to every fan game or romhack expo. Shitga squeezing the life out of their developers is not Sonic's fault.
