*headpats your OC*
IDW is trash
Sonic Generations was an enormous mistake and the series is still suffering to this day because of it
>>583652661Still better than Archie tho
>>583652583Wtf is project 10000? The link in the pastebin 404s
>>583652661Honestly, yeah, kinda.
IDW was an enormous mistake and the series is still suffering to this day because of it
For anyone who doesn't understand the IDW goes dark thing.This is a marketing strategy because of the films becoming darker in tone. Yes the films are, once again, saving the franchise.Say sorry, and then say thank you.
>>583652661trash but CANONyour dogshit manga isn't
>>583652861More like killing the franchise it just needs one movie to flop to get the franchise shelved.
>we are getting edgy hellokitty
literally sonurge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1C58QiWRnYHello and Good Night.
>>583652748Works for me? It gives you the link to Infinity chan where the project is being handled since it's a slow place.The project is just posting art for thread 10000, nothing crazy
https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/search/filename/5456464./page/1/peak mental illness
>>583652941As opposed to already being shelved and dead right now. They’ve given the games over a half decade and counting to get their shit together and if they can’t? Well then it deserves to share the fate of Hollywood movies
>>583652965
>>583652861Idw goes dark is company wide. That isnt a sonic exclusive thing
>>583652991Colors that are slightly a darker shade.Sonic cries.Eggman is just Archie or SatAM Eggman.There it is. Your dark and gritty Sonic.
>>583652748Something I'll hopefully start working on again soon.
First Barry of the threadGoodnight
>>583653062Goodnight!Hope you fixed all the Deviantart pics>>583653240You too!
>>583653125Motivated by Sonic
>>583653062>>583653240pleasant dreams
>>583652624The characters are consistent in the Japanese versions but not in the English versions. That at least tells me Sonic Team cares about the Japanese versions so it's their duty to also care about the English versions too.
>>583652729nah, it's not.
>>583652652OCs are a blight on the general
>>583652729Irrefutable.
>>583653461not at all
>>583652729telling lies?>SHK SHIKwhile decapitated?
>>583653378It's not their duty to care about the English version when the English fanbase kept shitting on their stories
>>583652729The post that angered the secondaries.
What do you guys think Rouge’s ‘backstory’ is like? As always, asking because working on fanfic. I kinda assume it’s like what X showed, she got caught stealing and then got hired by the President.What do you guys think she’d be doing if she never got hired by the President/wasn’t caught if that backstory held water? Would she just be a Fang-like entity?
>>583652764>IDW*Nakamura
>>583653528Please explain how. Objectively why they aren’t shit.
>>583653828because they're fun
>>583653662The English fan bade is their biggest market so Sonic Team ought to care and be receptive to their wishes
>>583653461Some are, some aren't
>>583653873Nope, that's not Sonic Team's problem, that's Sega of America's problem, and that's been the case since 1991 when ST and SoJ came and said "look here's the mascot that's gonna save us" and it was up to SoA to market it everywhere, and in the process changed a bunch of shit for no reason after they'd both already agreed to what Sonic and his game would beIt's the same old story. ST makes the games, SoA will control how it gets released and marketed and the version that we in the West get
you don't have nitro? you're not boosting the server? then no posting on the official canon on brand sonic discord for you. hah! poorfag!
>>583654037I was never interested
>>583654001What if the fans don't like the direction SOA is taking the franchise in, including the way the characters are written? SOJ owns SOA so if SOA doesn't care, then SOJ ought to be the final arbiter
>>583653820If it's for a fanfic write whatever you want.
>>583653820She is just a huge bitch and she likes being a bitch. It's hard to put a backstory to something so common
>>583653872>Annoying>Uncreative & derivative>Poorly designed>Shit backstories>Off topicQuite literally no>>583653889>All are, none aren’tFixed that for you
what gains rouge from having a backstory?
What do you gain from shilling your shitty OC Woefag?
>>583654234quite literally yes
trust the plan
>>583654086what's that? Aw that's poorfag seethe
>>583654504>pay to talk to other Sonic fansI get enough of that here, and it's free, and not full of children
If you don't push back on SOA's meddling with the characters, they will keep doing it. Silence is consent to them so if you haven't done so already, make sure to tell them on Twitter to stop messing with the characters and tell them to portray them in the English dubs like how they're portrayed in the Japanese versions. I already have. This is about the franchise's integrity. Not about being a personal army
>>583654562it's full of weird autists (they get auto filtered on the premium canon on brand server)
>>583653821>doesnt even try to hide the bias for his pets
>>583654493>grown-up SageSEXO
>>583654616SoJ probably sees what SoA is doing as some sort of compromise to meet in the middle and make the two sides of fans align. That is my guess. But what you're proposing is like defeating the Western side of Sonic.
>>583654121Fans are powerless. It is SoA's job to report how fans feel to SoJ. Will SoA ever say "fans don't like how we run things"? That is laughable, and even if they did say that, SoJ would just say "then do better lmao"
>>583654616I'm not putting in more effort than Sonic Team.
>>583654136I just wanted to get some other perspectives first>>583654254Nothing. Not saying the official material is at fault for not focusing on that. I just wanted to see what ideas people might've had.
I just want a new game
>>583654562It's not free, here you pay with sanity and time
>>583654292He won’t answer you bud. He’s probably too busy talking to his ai chatbot and being a disappointment to his family.
>>583654504Aaron is 100% behind that account
>>583653820She owns a casino right? I guess she would be doing that
>>583655393time maybe, but I've filtered out most of the more annoying recurring topics here so it's pretty chillthis Discord thing is still fairly new so I haven't done anything about it yet
>>583655374It's Sonic Raaaaaaciiiiiiing! Here comes season twoooo!
I luv fall and winter.Sleeping and thinking about a fox girl who would keep me warm.
>>583655942This fox looks like she wants gay sex with Sally
>>583655345maybe she was an orphan and she learned to steal to survive until she met her a mentor that was a thief before but changed her for the better. one day that mentor bail out because she prefer a solo act and thats how we get a rouge that values freedom over anything
>>583655473That's the same thing I thought when I read it. It reads like his tweets when he was handling the Twitter account.
>>583655796:(I want a real Sonic game
>>583655345>I just wanted to get some other perspectives firstWell, she's a thief, think about how she ended up doing that for life. Out of necessity, because she was forced to, or because she wanted, since she loves gems?Since it will be a headcanon anyway, just go all out on it.
>>583656008Princess bottomless can keep her shitty hologram incest. Fiona grooms silver.
>>583655492I wonder if she had that before or after she started working for the President. Like a side hustle she started.
Miles!
>>583656080>but mama! yeah that can also be her mentor that gave her that philosophy as a little bat
What if I took an IDW Sonic arc and then changed it to add your suggestions and made an fanfiction out of it
>>583656164Stay tuned!
>make her reboot Breezie brohard pass
>>583656426Sounds lame. Just make your own original fanfic without an idw arc as a basis
>>583655374Sonic Team is obviously waiting until the GTA 6 hype calms down
How come /sthg/ doesn't do milestones anymore?
>>583656604Is Nintendo doing the same thing with Mario?
>>583656607Why are you so obsessed with them? Why keep pretending it matters
>>583656607lack of engagement the joker milestone was kino however
>>583656708Nintendo makes their own consoles so they can do whatever they want and shouldn't be used as a comparative company to Sega. Ask what Capcom is doing.
The Superstars developers should make a proper Sonic game next
>>583656708Didn't they just release a dlc for a Mario game?
Sonic X Pico Park is releasing right between the Ocarina of Time remake and GTA6, that game will sell 4 copies.
>>583656607Milestones are the least of your concerns since this place is only centered around drama nowdays, first time i placed foot here they would do halloween and christmas events.
>>583656864I have an idea: Halloween Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction
>>583656729>Why are you so obsessed with them? ?I was just asking, bro. Some of them were funny.>>583656765>the joker milestone was kino howeverThat it was. Good times.
>>583656860Sega always decides the best moments to release games.
>>583656860It was never going to sell more than 4 copies anyways
>>583656825No?
>>583657172Actively trying to dox people seems to be a common thing in /sthg/. We are the worst general for this reason
>>583657181Yes..
>>583657172qrd on the drama? Not that /co/ is a cool place anyways.
>>583657372Wasn't that months ago
>>583657172Who gives a fuck? Why is one retard able to get all of a topic banned somewhere? Fuck off back
>>583657469It was in March of this year, still quite recent stuff.
>>583655148It's not hard. If the vast majority of the western fans don't like the way that characters are bing portrayed in the English dubs, then it's not controversial to align the English dubs with the Japanese dialogue. Even the normies hated how Amy was written in the English dub of Crossworlds. People also hate the millennial writing in the English dub of Frontiers
>>583657372I mean, that's not a new game. Nintendo hasn't released a new 3D Mario in about a decade, nor have they announced one.
>>583656860I'll be one of the four. I'm not buying either of those shitpiles.
>>583657542Oh, shut the fuck up, you look like an American complaining that you're hungry...
>>583657408Brony+Shartyfag+Sonicfag+Death Battle Generalfag+Loud Housefag, I'm pretty sure it's plantyn from Deviantart because the dumbass announced "they" browses 4chan.He started spamming ponies in a Sonic thread that was also an AI animation and AI Sonic thread and got a link as text banned.Anytime you report a Sonic thread the pajeet mods or automatic botmoderation bans. I wouldn't be surprised if any mention of Sonic gets banned .This happened because someone mass reported the pony images inside a Sonic thread and of course the mods are retarded and do not take sides, they ban everyone and textban everything.>>583657482>Why is one retard able to get all of a topic banned somewhere?Because the mods are retarded and autoban anything that gets enough reports in a short timeframe.
>>583657625He's right though. Nintendo doesn't make Mario games anymore. They prefer rehashing Zelda games.
Paramount merged with Warner Bros today on October 6 in the US. Paramount is owned by Larry and David Ellison, who are the biggest private donors to the IDF. It was October 7, the day the Gaza genocide began, in Israel when the merger happened. There are no coincidences
>>583657763Nintendo is a Kirby company now.
Longclaw is just like Adolf Hitler and Maria Robotnik
Sega merging with Sammy was a terrible thing for the Sonic franchise. Sammy doesn't care about Sonic. Merging a video game company with a pachinko company is as dumb as merging a record label with a car company
>>583657956>Longclaw is just like Adolf HitlerI wish he scored higher.
Hyper masculinity
Love boy.
>>583658569no touch the fuchslein.
>>583657740Dumbass didn't just announce he browses 4chan, he literally went to the Sonic Prime Arena fag's DeviantArt and posted in a broken chinese English "Hey es this the anon who's been posting Prime on /co/? I don't like it even if it wasn't AI cause I don't like female Tails", I don't think it's Slashy or Krack's deviantart since there's so many, but Sonic+MLP seems uncanny of a combo to be a coincidence, unless it's actually common as fuck to be into both?
>>583658535Sonic x Star Wars (1-6) would be kinda cool
something is happening on frridayhttps://x.com/Nakamura_ShunR/status/2107646563531284640
>>583658606Touch foxxo
>twitter link
>>583658670>NakamuraIt's nothing
>>583631180>Super Sonic being a victory lap switch up you adapt to on the fly is fine.It isn't a culmination despite being the final challenge, so no, it's not fine.
https://x.com/soniccitynet/status/2107547242093523029
>>583658535Sonic and the Black Knight should've been this.
Naoto "i'm not gay" Oshima?HE'S THE STRAIGHTEST MAN ALIVE!
>>583629231I guess you can argue Frontiers addresses this by making Super Sonic its own playstyle to learn and fight with across the Titan encountersThat said, I agree with >>583631180. Look at Unleashed. Eggmanland (and Egg Dragoon) is the actual final culmination test of your skill. Super Sonic after that is just for the climactic narrative showdown and that's fine. It's cool.
>>583659160>People surprised in the replies over a one year old gameNintendofags are something else
Thing i don't like is collapsing!*thing i don't like spreads even further*
>>583659295>FrontiersFunny I was just telling someone that Frontiers is the closest game to getting this right.>It's cool.It is cool, but not how I'd handle a final boss in any game really. Kinda seems nonsensical to make what's basically a minigame the final boss instead of testing your skills up until that point.
>>583658646Making up fake drama around your ugly AI shit will not make us interested in your ugly AI shit
>>583659601Well, I'm down to have more things like Unleashed. If you squint, the games basically already did this. Giant Death Egg Robo (and the accompanying Master Emerald oneshot laser phase) in 3&K, or Egg Viper in SA1, or Biolizard in SA2, Egg Emperor in Heroes, those fights all use the fundamentals you were mastering across the game to test you. The Super finale is an iconic Sonic staple where you get to end on a note of hype moment and aura.
>>583659819That is true, but that is because Super Sonic is so awesome. Surely you remember all the hype over Super Sonic in Frontiers. It's not necessarily "Super Sonic has to be like this" because Super Sonic is so awesome that even if it actually does act like a proper final boss and test the skills you've accumulated over the course of the game, people will still eat it up anyway because...it's fucking Super Sonic.
>>583658646Who the fuck cares about that gay ass tranny AI of tails?
>>583660186Not sure if I fully agree with that. Look at Colors Wii, Lost World, and Forces. All of those are traditional final bosses that do what you want, but imagine if the base Sonic model was replaced by Super Sonic. I think they might be seen as lame fights even if the aura of "Super Sonic goes against the power of the Wisps/Life energy/Phantom ruby" is a cool narrative moment
i enjoyed this boss , also being a snake and the armor makes me thing lyric was part of this game at first together with boom if the leak of wars was real.
>>583660532lol this one
>>583660532The leak was real, but it said nothing about Boom, that's a separate fan speculation theory
>>583660661>>583660532I would've enjoyed Boom getting to be part of Sonic Wars but I think that changes the story into something completely different. I'd rather a new, non-war story to bring Modern and Boom Sonic together.
>>583660661>>583660532It was fun, but the first two parts were meh. It could've been better.
>This is my last serenade
You guys are not fucking ready for what they're gonna show off on Friday. It'll revert /sthg/ into what it used to be.
>>583661113Archie?
>>583661113adventure 3 so we back to /fast/ ?
The Classic split was a mistake and caused nothing but problems. Generations brought nothing good.
>>583661285Nah I'm glad we got a subbrand where classic characters can shine without needing to fight the modern cast for screen/page time, and where classic fans can enjoy Sonic without the influence of modern if they don't like modern
>>583661113Back as straight?
>>583661442Nothing was stopping the use of those characters, character designs, or gameplay. We had 2D games, we had characters being brought back after years, splitting the series into a subbrand that creates a false image of what the series used to be and prevents the free use of certain things didn't allow us to receive more things, it only created needless limitations that contribute nothing.
Extreme
>>583661596You sound like an archiefag whos mad he cant have a shitty modern Mighty. Im good off that
>>583660661Eggman basically robotisized Lyric.
Archie is ooc
>>583661630>Archie out of nowhereOk.
is sonic advance a classic or modern sonic game
>>583661690Sa1 design = modern
The odds are stacked against usBut with our resolve relentlessAn arrogance, their weaknessOur cause is just, we won't be beatenUpon this declarationWill come a grand new nationWhere men are seen as equalGoverned by for the people
>nooo i want the classic cast in modern too!!no? thats bloat
>>583661825So let's rally for Sally, we need her badly, So shortlived, sadly, so screw your finale
Douge
>>583661690A game like Sonic Advance would never be made post split>>583661772You realize that they haven't used the character design from SA1 in a long time, right?
>>583661905Archieshit ooc
sonic advance is the weird middle child, specifically the 1st, adv. 2/3 are 100% modern, but the 1st is in this strange place where it was designed gameplay wise like a classic game but utilizes the at the time recent sa1 designs/aesthetics
>>583661923Yeah because 2d is just in the 3d games now lmao
>>583661905Typical archiefags making Shadow the tall one
>>583662062The 2D of those games plays, looks, and feels nothing like Advance.
>>583662012Shadouge comes from the games?
>>583662095Theyre sitting how can you even tellAlso even if true how is making that error related to archie
>>583662139Shadow and Rouge aren't friends
>>583661849Shut up, retard. Characters existing doesn't mean they should appear all together in every single game. Sonic games have always had a rolling cast of characters, the only ones that are usually consistently present are Sonic, Tails, and Eggman. Having more characters exist in universe is not a problem.
>buzzwords your ship
I can honestly have better conversations about Sonic with my chatbot, the only difference is that I don't (yet) have it connected to an imageboard so it seems like someone is having perpetual quality discussion like the very early days of /vr/.
>>583662226Sure what does that have to do with game shadouge thoIn that glasses fanart rouge is flirty with shadow and he doesnt gaf, thats just like how it is in the games
Westfags hate the characters. Archiefags despise every character and want them replaces with the shitty Archie version
>>583662043>the time recent sa1 designs/aestheticsWhich they haven't used since, but we're supposed to pretend that's the same "Modern Sonic" we see in Generations or Frontiers for some reason, and if you point out the truth idiots like >>583661442 start bitching because it doesn't neatly fit into the retarded binary split.
>>583662302Can i see? I'm actually interested in what kinda discussion you have and how useful it could be. I've always wanted to sorta configure an ai to be something of a sonic lore resource so i dont have to go spelunking every time i need a question answered
>>583662309>game shadougeDelusional. You hate Shadow.
>>583662226
>>583662363"The truth" and its just him malding that proportions arent the same between sa1 to frontiers?
>>583662463Thanks for answering the question shitpostbro
Team Dark is SOA shit from Archie
Sega when 4channers talk on the official Discord
>>583662602Team Dark is debuted in Sonic Heroes.
This guy is trying way too hard. I can see good discussion will not persist tonight. Im going to sleep
>>583662639Sonic the Wind would want me to speak freely.If SEGA is against that, no wonder they want him dead so bad.
>>583662649It was a menu name in heroes. You don't see the games using the other team names. Archie is shit.
>>583662708>team chaotix
