>Knuckles has the short temper>Shadow has the edge>Jet has the cool cockinessWhat the FUCK is the point of this character?
>>724254687He has the heart, he's the guy to do what he wants and helps because its just the right thing to do
>>724254823fpbp and /thread
>>724254823>>724254934That's Nu-Silver, though
>>724254687Jet doesn't have cool cockiness, he has the "self-absorbed braggart who's actually a loser" cockiness
>>724254687What's the point of having so many rival characters anyway?
>>724255301>We need another Poochie
>>724255057Nu Silver has the POTENTIAL.Sonic's actual character isn't that he does the "right thing" for the sake of doing the right thing like faggy silver does, he just does whatever he wants to do. Thats something the americans fucked up in the new games.What his actual character would do is if he feels like an immortal world is wrong or a kingdom king needs killing he'll do it because thats what he wants to do. In X he blows off the president to go help a girl in a wheelchair, he doesn't care about the "right thing", what he wants to do is just nice because thats the type of guy he is
>>724254687YEAH WOO YEAH ALL RIGHT WOOO
>>724254687He does cool tricks while escaping a GUN helicopter.
>>724254687He goes fast
>>724254687being able to do all of that and not only one thing
>>724254687>JetWho the fuck gives a shit about this character, lmao.
>>724255674makes sense. why would he kill a genie or evil king if its the right thing to do?
>>724255301Each mirrors an aspect of him even if only 3 of them are actual equals and the rest only rival him in more limited circumstances.
>>724255674https://youtu.be/qee5P0NYIW8?si=IjKNTya8USF9DxzuIt Doesn't Matter spells all this out.
>>724257453So Sonic values his heart and determination. Glad he's Frisk from Undertale.
>>724257453>well, I don't show-offDoesn't Sonic constantly show-off though?
>>724257687American translation, Jap sonic actually doesn't insult people that often
>>724257771But isn't Sonic doing air-tricks also a form of showing-off?
>>724256880>Who the fuck gives a shit about this character, lmao.quite a few, actually
>>724257956We the player are usually the only one seeing that and he doesn't know we're there.
>>724257956Thats just him having fun
>>724255674yeah but, like, sonic would do "the right thing" if it's in his own interests + the interests of the community. he's not gonna stand by and let evil happen unchallenged. he's a stick up dude with a 'tude
>>724258105Yeah alright. Kind of weird that Sonic just does these tricks for no reason.
>>724255301Sonic literally operates on the Dragonball formula of, "Fans like this rival too much to just kill him off, so we'll make him fren and...oh no, we don't have an antagonist for the next game! Quick, new rival!"So you just get this ever-increasing gallery of former rivals because they don't want to get rid of any fan favorites but they can't just keep defaulting back to Eggman forever.
>>724258249Are you implying you wouldn't if you could move like him?
>>724258075No cars. Just Riders 2 and Airride 2 please. Sonic and Kirby already solved the racing genre.
>>724255301>Metal Sonic>Knuckles>Fang>Shadow>Blaze>Jet>Silver>SurgeFuck this franchise
>>724258253They did keep them limited in power at least so they're usually secondary or limited in circumstance. Silver was the last character introduced to mirror Sonic in power.
>>724254687he's fast and goes around insulting everyone but as a joke (but not actually joking) so if you get mad you lose
>>724258253>but they can't just keep defaulting back to Eggman forever.Infinitie was quite literally right there.
>>724255057There is no nu-Silver, he appeared in one and a half console games
>>724258253>but they can't just keep defaulting back to Eggman forever.they've been doing that for a while though, most of the recent non-Eggman villains have been oneoffs since Shadow and 06 failing made them realize the cast was overly bloated
>>724258571Where's Erazor?
>>724258284Now that you mention it, I wish I was as fast as Sonic...
>>724258571Shadow Generations contrived an excuse for Black Doom to escape so they're clearly open to having him be Shadow's Eggman.
>>724254687He chuckles.
>>724258209He's not a bad guy, he naturally wants to help people because he's nice but its not because of ethics or whatever, he just wants to help out to make someone feel better/fun of an adventure, its not because of some precieved code he lives by like shadow.He's not going to give people a massive ted talk of his manifesto like the comics think he would
>>724258902Sonic fights Eggman because pissing him off is fun first and because it's the right thing to do second.
>>724258571>Emerl back>Mephiles back>Black Doom back>Scourge transitioned>Maria back>Everyone who thinks that Gamma needs to come back is completely retarded>Who gives a fuck about the rest
>>724257687No because that implies he wants attention for it. That's Jet. Sonic does stuff because he feels like it.
Reminder that Sega lost Crush 40 and this is how all subsequent vocal Sonic songs will soundhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EazFZP-lCaw
>>724259101>Emerl backDead, replaced with Gemeral who just has tea with Cream all day.>Mephiles backSealed in the void beyond time and space and lost his chance to escape.>Black Doom backYes, Sega blatantly let him escape in case Shadow gets more games.>Scourge transitioned>Maria backOne time thing due to time shennigans, still dead.>Everyone who thinks that Gamma needs to come back is completely retardedCorrect, we have Omega for a reason.>Who gives a fuck about the restCorrect
>>724259318Sega haven't used Johnny since 2017 outside remixes he wasn't involved with.
>>724259318>Here we go, Fast like woah>With a stroke of luck, you might become a monster truck He was great in one way dream, what happened?
>>724254687Metal has the coolness.
>>724259318Is this how game journos hear Sonic music?
>>724254687he's fast as fuck man. are you actually retarded?
>>724258721>Shadow's Eggman.This should be Gerald. He is the only thematically appropriate choice for Shadow's nemesis.
>>724259789Shadow is faster
>>724259789So is *checks notes* Blaze the Cat
>>724254687He has a heart of gold and a free as the wind carefree attitude, retard.
Does anyone actually think Sonic is cool in this day and age?
>>724261124Explain what those attributes look like in a human.
>>724261187Personally I'm not the biggest fan of modern Sonic's characterization. I unironically feel like OVA Sonic was peak Sonic for me.
>>724259875You're retarded. Gerald was a good man driven to madness and his legacy is scheming a plan to destroy the Earth that would have worked if Amy didn't restore Shadow's memories. Bringing Gerald back full time both ruins the story of Adventure 2 and would be redundant because he'd be another Eggman at best when they already don't use Nega.
>>724261405I never said anything bringing Gerald back.
>>724261458You said Gerald should be Shadow's nemesis.
>>724261505Yes, but it can be done in an indirect way like Biolizard.
>>724261505>he doesn't have a nemesis attacking him from the gravengmi
>>724261539Still beyond retarded, Gerald's entire story revolves around going mad while being forced to work on Shadow under G.U.N then dying. It'd be fucking stupid to pull out a bunch of other schemes he somehow managed to prep for while being watched 24/7.
>>724259578>He was great in one way dream, what happened?That's NateWantsToBattle, Crossworld's opening was sung by another person.
>>724261691It doesn't have to be about his schemes. It can be about Shadow dealing with problems Gerald created and the legacy that he left.
>>724261187Sonic is way cooler than your worthless ass, you would never turn down free pussy from Amy because unlike Sonic you don't have anything better to do with your time
>>724261789Which he already did in Adventure 2, Black Doom only caring about Earth due to his deal with Gerald is the only path left with that.
>>724261859Doesn't mean SEGA can't write more things like these.
>>724254687he's just a guy who loves adventure, he's SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
>>724255301Having multiple foils to a character can totally work, it's just that Sega/Sonic Team has zero idea what each rival's role is supposed to be in relation to each other
>>724259318"Crush 40" is just Senoue's band with Johnny on vocals. They could just have a different vocalist.
>>724254687sonic has the aspergers so chris chans can relate and idolize and fetishize him
>>724263125Why call it Crush 40 at that point over just the Sega Sound Team. Johnny's voice is the only reason to use Crush 40 as a name.
>>724263823Point being they'll keep everyone but Johnny, even if they don't use the Crush 40 name.
>>724256880first thing i thought when i entered this thread
>>724263823wait until you find out about all the bands that replaced members and still kept the name of the band
>>724265616I'm aware but this isn't general music, this is something targeted at hyper engaged autists. Johnny hasn't worked on a Sonic game since TSR while Jun has and so they haven't used the name for any of Jun's works.
>>724254687Sonic does what he believes is right. This is why sonic would let the world die if it was naturally coming to an end instead of prolonging it beyond it's suffering and natural decay.
Open your Heart > Live and Learn
>>724266237Sonic believes in abortions?
>>724267554Yeah probably
>>724268373fuarkkk... my HERO is based
>>724266479Madness. Both are equally fantastic. Some of the best theme songs in any video game. Maybe the best?
>>724254823Yeah no, shit reasonSonic does what he wants because he represents freedom and carving your own destinyWhile Knuckles is busy getting indoctrinated and Shadow is wallowing in his pain and misery, Sonic is the light that guides them
>>724258672>the cast was overly bloatedIt's not, though. Mario has tons more characters than Sonic.
>>724254687>short temper>the edge>cool cockinessSonic has all of these things. His rivals are all spins off HIS character
>>724270390Sonic Heroes was still good. The bloated cast isn't always a problem anyway.
>>724270787Vanilla and Tikal for the sex
>>724270787>>724270905the crossworlds thread is down the hall and to the left
>>724270390It does not have near as many playable characters as Sonic outside of like the racing and party game spinoffs
>>724272621i know but i wanna see how everyone sees sonic and protest my love for the characters in the lewd art above
>>724254687Sonic is impatient, not short temperedSonic's edge is liking skateboarding and rock music I.e the 90s definition of edge. Shadow is the brooding, angsty edge.Sonic is cool and cocky, Jet is straight arrogant
>>724254687>What is the pointRunning around at the speed of sound
>>724270390>Mario has tons more characters than SonicYea but how many of them actually show up in a given Mario game? Most Mario games have you play as Mario, and that's it. Sometimes you get Luigi, very rarely you get the girls. Mario Kart is the obvious outlier here but in Sonic games all of his faggot friends show up and they all have something to do.
>>724254687>Sonic characters can only be one singular trait with zero crossover or repeats
>>724254687>cool cockinessthat's sonicretard
>>724273779>Sonic games all of his faggot friends show up and they all have something to dome when i lie
Sonic LOST...
>What the FUCK is the point of this character?...to be the greatest to ever do ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg8TkMtf9es>The plot doesn't happen to him, he happens TO IT!GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
>>724256880This but with Zavok instead
>>724273779Anon, 2004 was 21 years ago
>>724277721They're starting to do it again, see Frontiers and Superstars
>>724278298Frontiers don't have Espio.
>>724278298Anon, Mario Wonder has more playable characters
>>724254687Sonic is there to be yaoi bait. He's built for Big Echidna Cock.
>>724258331How the fuck is Fang a rival?
Sega doesn't want to world build that much with sonic
>>724279831Um.. you aren't old enough to know sweaty.
>>724281308What's that on Beta Fang's neck?
