But if people learn about momthrower and it turns into this big meme that metastisizes, both the ship and the meme can spread like a cancer.

Sonic Prime should be used as the new model for the next game

>>565242212
Which is exactly why whenever someone uses sonic x as an example you call them retarded and tell them to play the games. Easy

Sonic Prime is one of those shows where a bunch of different shit happens but you don’t remember any of it because it never mattered.

>>565243012
I don’t if he’s telling the truth but Ian Flynn said that he sent notes to the English writers of Sonic Prime on how to write the characters but that they ignored the notes

Sonic games are written like big crossover events, except all characters don't do shit until sonic or shadow shows up

Sonic X is just as OOC as Archie

I agree, but then they would have to actually use and explain the Sol Dimension, which doesn't mesh with the shows paradox prism concept of alternate dimensions, so that's probably why she wasn't used.
>>
>>565244153
Sol Dimension has nothing to do with what happens in Prime. It's about Sonic's dimension getting shattered.

That's what I thought too but at the end of the show the paradox prism is restored so why aren't the different versions of everyone going back to their original state as well? Shouldn't Nine be dead? They help Sonic go back to his dimension instead, so I don't really get it

normies wouldn't get it

then make them get it
isn't that what sega wants to do anyway? to make sonic appeal to current days normies? They're doing a reallll bad job at it. Suckers
>>
>>565244818
Who cares? Normies didn't "get" the Paradox Prism because it didn't exist, might as well use the thing that already exists.
>>
>>565244642
I have no way of proving this but I always believed Shadow the Hedgehog was running on "Sonic Adventure" logic. So Sonic's behavior is amped up because you're playing as Shadow. Every character sees things a little different in SA1 and less so in SA2 and 06. The games keep doing things like this up until Free Riders
>>
>>565244683
>Sonic is irresponsible
Yes and we love him for it!
>and should be killed immediately.
Seems kinda extreme dontcha think?

>>565244642
Shad05 Sonic is portrayed as more obnoxious but he isn't a whiny goober like primenic or movienic.
Also, he is portrayed that way because it's how Shadow sees Sonic.
>>
>>565244802
Yeah that part made no sense. About half way through the show they treated the separate dimensions as independent of each other instead fragments of the original dimension. It was really confusing. The show was stupid

I don't get why they do the fortnite/tiktok stuff. That is not what modern "cool" teenagers do still. Flossing is seen as a stupid baby thing by Gen Z and Gen alpha even makes jokes about it. It's not like breakdancing in the 2000s or rock in the 90s.

I would actually accept this argument for Pokemon, but no. Sonic doesn't act that way in the video games, just in the shitty american spinoff media like Archie, IDW, Satam, and Prime. If that personality takes over the games I'll concede.Instead the games did the exact opposite and overplay Sonic as manly and adult.

>She's squeaking and covering her face with her hands, overcome with pleasure but so adorably shy
>Maybe you finish on her back and ass, and all she can do is squeak an "Eep...!" as your warm seed coats her
>Alternatively, you finish inside her, and she squeaks all the same

I don't know why you're all having a meltdown at an IDW fan for liking when Sonic says stupid quirk chungus shit when a lot of you love satam which is just as guilty as doing the exact same thing but with 90s teen tropes instead of 2020s. Satam Sonic is an extreme case of a 90s cliche. You can throw a ball and hit a 90s character who acts like this. He's just Michealangelo/Bart Simpson/Johnny Test

I don't and regularly criticize SatAMnic for being a poochie.
That said, SatAMnic didn't act like what actual teenage boys were like. He acted like what those boys thought was cool. Or rather what adults thought teenage boys thought was cool but u get the picture.

I always bring this stuff up about characterization debates. Sonic doesn't need to change because there's already a character for that. If you need a cute boy you have Silver and Charmy. If you need an obnoxious boy you have charmy. If you need a cocky douche you have Jet. There is no reason to change modern Sonic to act like Satam when that's basically just Jet or Silver depending on the tone.

This is why most of them have left. You want them to draw the same generic shit of Sonic giving smug smile #18476, instead of have fun actually drawing.

It seems the Japanese version triedd to give both Classic Sonic and Classic Tails an audio quirk. Sonic is mute like during gameplay and Tails is voiced like a kid like in the Adventure games. Maybe that's the idea. Still clumsy and confusing though

Because you are old now. I'm going between here and twitter and the whole US/JP Sonic melty is betweeen Zoomers vs elder millenials.
If you are old enough to remember the adventure games coming out you are fucking old. Sonic 1 is closer to the moon landing than it is to now. Nowadays people know Sonic from the movies, Sonic X reruns, IDW, and Frontiers. If "Sonic is the wind" is a weird new thing to you it's because you're ELDERLY grandpa. It's okay to be old, make sure to use your old age wisely and have lots of fun because you won't be alive much longer because of how old you are.

The way they phrased it for Chronicles 2 implies Shade was going to help continue the Knuckles bloodline. Obviously that could never happen but I guess they would have to imply it somehow. I'm sure if she stuck around she'd just be a second guardian to justify Knuckles leaving all the time.

The problem is that everyone wants Sonic to be Tails.

I hate seeing art of Sonic & Deku being best friends, because that should be TAILS and Deku. The only reason Sonic is used is because he's 15, has red shoes, and is the main character.

Mini 3D Era Collection: Sonic Rivals, Rivals 2, Boom: Shattered Crystal, Generations 3DS and Lost World 3DS.

That wouldn't really solve the problem. In fact it would make it worse.

>>565254949
The problem with Tails is that he was largely shafted after SA1, and SA2 was the start of that, and Unleashed was the next major step that crippled him even more.

Tails should have remained as he was in SA1, and kept going from there. It'd be better to have Sonic & Tails as dual-protagonists, so Tails can face the personal character-growth side of things that people can relate to, while Sonic remains the static aspirational symbol.

I feel like that isn't the right question to ask.

Nightwing is story that Tails' character is built for, especially in the Adventure games.

Red Hood is the "bad ending", like Emerl dying but coming under Eggman as Gemerl.

Tim Drake is just meant to fill the role of Robin as the status quo sidekick to Batman, to fill the empty spot created by Nightwing's own evolution beyond the role and Jason's death.

Damian was Robin to Nightwing's Batman, and Batman's actual son, with a much edgier and more violent nature at first which contrasts the usual vibe of Robin being the light to Batman's darkness.

Tails at his core is Nightwing. If Tails isn't allowed to grow and his intellect consumes his whole personality, he becomes Tim Drake.

>>565255454
>That doesn't really work if he is glued to Sonic.
It's not about being glued to Sonic, it's about being in the spotlight as a protagonist whether he's with Sonic or not.

If the focus is only on Sonic, while Tails is just "the sidekick following him", then both characters fail.

Why? It pushed Tails out of being a Sonic wannabe and more towards what makes him stand out, which is clearly the direction SA1 had with him going after Eggman instead of Sonic in his story and gameplay.

Tails IS the Simon to Sonic's Kamina, as that kind of dynamic is how Tails was constructed as a character.

That's what Tails is on a fundamental level, that's what his story is about, that's his literal THEME SONG of "Believe in Myself" saying "I wanna fly high so I can reach the highest of all the heavens", which is the overarching story of Gurren Lagann itself as well.

The only thing is that Tails exists as Simon to highlight that Sonic is Kamina, emphasizing Sonic as the cool icon we're meant to admire. Meaning, if Gurren Lagann focused on Kamina alone rather than Simon's evolution, which is the problem here when it comes to how Tails is handled, and what either the fandom or certain writers do with Sonic.

Sonic is meant to be a static mascot, and Tails is meant to grow and evolve. The ideal is to do both at once, by having them both be co-leads, more or less. Instead of just pairing Sonic with some new guy and kicking Tails to the curb, each game.

It's been like 5 years and Sparky still just factory resets after every conversation.
Simon didn't learn to be Kamina. Kamina was showing Simon how to be himself.
Sonic isn't showing Tails how to be himself. Sonic is just doing his thing, Tails follows him and then learns to stop larping as him and be his own person.

>>565256359
>It pushed Tails out of being a Sonic wannabe and more towards what makes him stand out,
No the heck it didn't, don't lie to me.

SA1 Tails does what Sonic does.
SA2 Tails does what Eggman does.

The entire mech gameplay is EGGMAN's gameplay. Not Tails. It started with Gamma in SA1. That's EGGMAN's domain.

Shoving Tails in the mech just made him an "Eggman wannabe", it doesn't make him "stand out" at all. And beyond that, it destroyed the actual foundation of his character both in and out of gameplay. It's half the reason Tails is viewed as "just" a smart guy, who can't do anything without tech.

"Smart" is not Tails' core ability. It's FLYING.

That's not what actually happens, though, at all.

Interpreting Tails as just "larping as Sonic", and being shoved in a mech as "being his own person", is a massive misread of the character entirely that only shows you don't like anything about Tails in his Classic to SA1/Advance series depiction at all.

Doesn't seem like you understand Sonic's impact on Tails either.

Gurren Lagann is just far more overt about what the Sonic series hints at.
>>
>>565256980
>SA1 Tails does what Sonic does.
Until he stops and focuses on working on his transforming plane, which parallels Eggmans transforming Egg carrier battle ship. He gets separated from Sonic, comes back with the plain, separates from Sonic again and then goes after Eggman.

Tails is a budding tech savant and Eggman is an old vet. Even in his debut Tails was introduced to show that Tech can be used for good unlike Eggman that uses it for bad.

Tails' actual gameplay in SA1 is still the same general stuff he's been doing since Sonic 2.

Sonic Adventure 2 shoving him in a mech is not character growth in that regard, he shouldn't be copying Eggman so much that his actual physical capabilities are completely shafted.

His core ability is flying fast enough to keep up with Sonic, -and- he tinkers with technology to the point of rivaling Eggman. On paper, Tails having the mech is cool as an additional thing, not a replacement. Tails' gameplay should not be locked to just Sky Chase Zone alone, he is meant to race alongside Sonic with his own natural flying ability.

What makes Tails unique is being like Sonic & Eggman combined, not just one or the other.
>>
>>565256205
There should be an open world Sonic game that lets you bring other characters along on your travels and if you're playing as Sonic, there should be an option to go a date with Amy and vice versa that will trigger different dialogue and animations based on where you go
>>
>>565257670
>Tails' actual gameplay in SA1 is still the same general stuff he's been doing since Sonic 2.
In Sonic's playthrough...until he isn't.
SA1 in general was a reintroduction and direction for the cast as a whole. Tails was snapped out of being Sonic's satellite and doing his own thing. Amy went from being kidnapped to being able to fight back against robots, etc.

Tails starts as a Sonic satellite (and its by far the most boring uninteresting part of his playthrough) into doing his own thing, looking for a chaos Emerald to finish the tornado 2 which is able to breech the Egg Carrier where Sonic's plane couldn't. Then Tails chases Eggman instead of Sonic. The symbolism couldn't be more clear.

>Tails' gameplay should not be locked to just Sky Chase Zone alone,
Nobody said this though. That said, I personally think Sky Chase should have only been playable in Tails playthrough with the Tornado 2.
We didn't need to play it 4 times.

Well yeah, he's all but said as much. He's blatantly said he wants to kill their dynamic and tone her down. But everyone points to that one line because it's nonsensical and he doesn't seem to really have any intention on what to do with it when asked after the fact. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and a chance to actually do it, but I don't think he can or will. I expect a reset to status quo on the next game.
>>
>>565257589
The series as a whole not being about Tails is honestly what hurts his character the most.

-Sonic- himself as a character only works when he's used to lift someone else up, to inspire them, or incite their growth or development in some way. That's how Sonic works as a character in stories. So to have a character like Tails, whose whole identity revolves around being inspired by and looking up to Sonic but struggling with his own insecurities, and his primary role is to be Sonic's sidekick and "player 2", should mean that he should carry all of the narrative weight that Sonic never does or never can.

It'd be better if Unleashed had Tails struggle with Dark Gaia's influence to contrast and highlight Sonic being completely immune despite being the Werehog, or if Black Knight had Tails learn how to be a knight / swordsman in a more traditional way to contrast Sonic's complete and utter rejection of Knighthood in favor of what he alone thinks is right. Instead of just making Sonic alone carry all that narrative weight and then reject it entirely, which makes some people think he's a "gary stu" or whatever when they don't understand him.

Sonic is the absolute coolest guy ever. Tails should be used in-contrast to that, to make that concept shine better, by having Tails be the one who has to struggle a lot more to reach that same level.

Whatever symbolism you think is there doesn't exist.

Tails story ends with Tails alone as the only one who can stop Eggman, because Sonic isn't here. That's the point.

Not Tails "Chasing Eggman instead of Sonic". It's Tails proving that he can do what Sonic can do, without relying on Sonic. He literally spells this out in his own pre-level dialogue.

the overall "Race" structure of Tails' gameplay as a whole should've remained the basis for him overall in future games. In fact, the entire Riders sub-series should've centered around Tails, it's the perfect way to emphasize his speed AND his tech in a way that reinforces that Tails is one of the fastest characters in the series but not the -absolute- fastest like Sonic is, because the whole point of racing is challenging how fast you are and proving yourself. Racing fits Tails way more than Sonic, for that reason.

Sonic is Wally West, he IS Speed. That's why people don't take Jet seriously as a rival even though he IS a serious rival. But the narrative weight of Jet would hit a lot harder if he was used in-contrast to Tails, and that would make Jet's rivalry with Sonic also work a lot better on its own as well. In my opinion, at least.

Tails isn't getting taken seriously as anything but Sonic's cute nerdy little brother sidekick, without a redesign.
Something that helped Amy was her redesign. Pushed her out of just cute innocent little girl to Spunky Gal.

Ian Flynn is a meddlesome and mischievous rat. I absolutely do not trust him. He admitted he put that "I want to share my love with the world" line because he wanted Amy to stop trying to win Sonic's love. Morio Kishimoto noticed this and rewrote Amy in the Japanese of Frontiers to say, "Going straight for someone without looking aside to tell them you love them... that's nice and all, but it's not enough. I was only thinking about the immediate future...To figure out what I need to do now, I need to find myself to be more refined."

In one of the last cutscenes of Frontiers' main story, Amy tells Sonic in the English version, "Sonic! You still have love to share with this world too!" However, the Japanese version makes Amy say, "You haven't seen me as a lovely lady yet!"

The Japanese script is superior because it doesn't try to erase Amy's personality

It doesn't have to be exactly the same as how it was implemented there, I'm just saying the overall idea of translating his classic gameplay into "racing" makes the most sense for his character. And it'd be cool if it could be like the Riders series, with the use of Extreme Gear in some kind of way to incorporate his Tech in a way that compliments and adds to his natural ability to fly.

Wouldn't be the same Silver then. If anything, Silver could be one of the few characters they could keep bringing back, but with a different look and personality due to all the time bullshit going on (like Dr. Who), but they don't and we're led to believe that current Silver is still the same Silver from the Rivals games. Silver's future doesn't feel like a different point in time, it feels like just another generic location.

>YOU didn't, because you don't play the games lol.
I did. In Sonic 2, I played as Sonic and Tails. My brother played as Tails because he was my little brother and made to play little brother mode. Just like you Sparky.

>He plays the exact same as Sonic in one game, and in the other he gets the flight which yes is fun
Unless you went out of your way to switch to Tails only in Sonic 2, which not only did most people not know how to do but since it didn't change anything but slightly make your hitbox a bit shorter (which most people also didn't know) there wasn't much reason to. Doesn't help that unlike Sonic, Tails gets no Superform.

>Sonic 3.
Tails Flight was appealing in the way that giving your players flight in a platformer was considered cool because flight is broken in platformers and feels like cheating, but in Sonic specifically it isn't really good at all. it doesn't flow into the core gameplay and there isn't really much to find as Tails with in in Sonic 3 at all.
whatsmore is Tails doesn't get the extra abilities from the instashield, and again, doesn't get Super Sonic.
>SuperTails with the Hyper Emeralds.
Flicky Army of death is cool but hardly worth all the effort, let alone fun since its just you standing still.

For the record, I don't think Knuckles' gameplay is good either since his climbing is slow and unmodular and his gliding as well. it doesn't flow into the gameplay. He at least has the benefit of having level design built for him though.

Wow, that's a lot of coping. Sonic games are designed around replayability and switching to a different character adds to that. I'm not Sparky btw.

I would also say Tails' flight plays better in 3D compared to 3&K, but it's still enjoyable to me

Cream in the Advance games has better flight gameplay than Tails. She can't fly as long, but she has better air movement. Tails always felt like a drag whenever you had to mindlessly mash the jump button to fly and watch him slowly descend back to ground. He was only ever fun to play in SA1, but even then the level design for his stages didn't make use of his moveset.

The only minigame character in SA1 is Big. If you really stretch it you can include Knuckles in that, since his goal isn't to get from point A to point B, but 3&K also had exploration to find the special stages, so it's not completely unprecedented either. Regardless though, the conversation was about movement. Knuckles' movement in SA1 and SA2 flows much better than in 3&K

>>565261290
It means exactly what Tails says in the scene. What I'm saying is based on that.

Tails' flight is fun. He plays the same as Sonic but with an extra ability that allows you to skip some tricky parts of levels as well as swimming. How is that bad unless you just want to fly over everything and ignore the level design?
>>
>>565261810

Speed Highway does. The others try in different ways, but don't quite succeed. I wish they'd expand more on Speed Highway

>>565261304
>spoiler
I agree that both were more fun in 3D but I don't even really like playing as Tails in SA1 since it's just Sonic's levels again but you skip all the level design. in 2D, it wasn't a problem because of how 2D Sonic level design is but in 3D he really does just break the level design, and future games would all work to nerf his flight to compensate.
Knuckles is way better as an explorative gameplay style. Gliding and climbing lend themselves to hunting for trinkets and exploring open 3D space which is way better fit for him than the 2D gameplay.

I wanna continue on my point about Tails' flight though by comparing him to a character with even more OP flight than him. Kirby. Kirby famously has the ability to float but to compensate they put airborne enemies to discourage it so its more a crutch for new players rather than a core gameplay appeal of Kirby. Kirby is most fun when you aren't really using his flight at all.

I feel similarly with Tails. If I'm using his flight, its not really fun. I'm just using it as a copout for a given section of the level.

Tails' flight isn't "precise maneuvering though. It's just an interruption to the flow of your gameplay where you mash A to slowly ascend to an area for maybe a ring box. One you can access by just using the actual level design.
If anything Tails flight requires less precision.
I think Tails' flight gameplay was best in Heroes desu. The only time in 2D it was appreciated was Advance to find Chaos emerald Springs and Chao

I've noticed Sonic Team used a variety of approaches to Tails' gameplay in 3D level design. Speed Highway makes the player platform with it through long distances. Wave Ocean and Aquatic Base are about getting used to how far and how high he can go. Casinopolis has low ceilings. Windy Valley, Radical Train, and Kingdom Valley make you fly through dash rings, the last one with alternating lasers in between them. And Crisis City has some dash rings, but it's mostly about climbing upwards. I think all these expect the dash rings without obstacles would be interesting to explore further

No, what I actually want is Tails, Amy & Knuckles to each be main characters carrying their own sides of the franchise, and Sonic himself remains the central core pillar in-between them all.

Everything revolves around Sonic, but most of the narrative weight should come from his kid sidekick, his girlfriend, and his friendly rival. Tails has all the character development Sonic doesn't, Amy can be physically challenged in ways Sonic isn't despite being just as much of a paragon, and Knuckles' own personal values and ideals can be challenged and tested while Sonic just wouldn't care.

The simple truth is Tails, Knuckles and Amy cant carry pillars of the series on their own like Shadow can.
And I'd go a step further and say of the 3, Tails probably can do it the least.

Nine's character design and backstory are just an upgraded version of Tails' own core concepts taken a step further. His story in the show itself centers around an OOC Sonic more than it does Nine himself, though.

Well, you've got a core problem there. Amy isn't Sonic's girlfriend, he barely tolerates her presence, and she has never been popular or substantial enough to carry a "side of the franchise," unlike Tails and Knuckles at their peaks.

While SOJ has repeatedly tried to force her as a main character, the truth is that the "core four" at this point is Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow, and Amy isn't in fifth place either. She might not even be tenth.

Amy is the "Sonic's girlfriend" character, stop projecting whatever issue you have with her onto the character itself.

Amy is a core character in the series, and Shadow fundamentally can never be "Core" at all because Shadow IS Sonic.

It's not:
1. Sonic
2. Tails
3. Knuckles
4. Shadow

BECAUSE SHADOW IS NUMBER 1, PERIOD.

SHADOW WILL -NEVER- BE ANYTHING BELOW 1, UNLESS 3 IS SILVER, AND IT STOPS THERE.

Otherwise, Shadow is, and can only be, a replacement/alternative to Sonic himself as the idealized mascot face of the franchise. Because he is "Dark Sonic", and the appeal of his character is being the "cooler/darker" Sonic to the point that he's a partial cause for Sonic himself being made OOC.

No.

Nine was a completely reclusive shut-in who just wanted to be left alone in his bunker.

The ONLY reason Nine became a villain is because of meeting Prime Sonic.

The OOC bad writing Sonic had in Prime, is what caused Nine's spiral to villainy, when Nine otherwise would have been completely isolated in his bunker not bothering anyone.

>>565264548
>The ONLY reason Nine became a villain is because of meeting Prime Sonic.
Sonic Prime is so weird.

The show doesn't explain what Chaos Emeralds are, you are expected to know that from the games.

The show doesn't explain what dark things Shadow is capable of, Sonic says that and you are expected to remember it.
Orbot and Cubot are just there.
The show IS supposed to fit in the canon, that's the only reason it has that timeline reset ending, but it still doesn't fit.

Then there's everything about Nine. Sonic meets this guy and Nine tries to drive him away while Sonic keeps bugging him and insisting that he's Tails. It feels like IDWnic's borderline harassment of Surge.
Nine barely tolerates this guy for two seasons while constantly rolling his eyes and scoffing at him but then suddenly becomes jealous and pissed when Sonic mentions the "real Tails". Then Nine spends 8 entire fucking episodes trying to kill Sonic while what's left of the shatterverse tries to fend him off. Then Nine decides to seal himself away forever in the dark dimension. This sounds so fucking retarded and epic but it's the most boring show.

But Knuckles own is concise and cohesive. He may not change heavily, but reconciling with his fate after learning more about it is a valid thing for his character to choose to do. The game starts with him being ignorant about it and wondering why he was given his job, and it ends with him being content with his place in the world after. it's a subtle difference but still a meaningful one.
Sonic's own just feels like random things happening for no reason.
He also has the most gimmick sections on any story in the game.

People just gaslit themselves into thinking his is better because they just replayed Speed highway over and over and forgot about everything else.

That isn't what they really are, but the perspective of them that boils them down to that is what causes the reaction that utterly removes the actual traits they have.

Amy isn't a stalker. She is passionate and enthusiastic, but ultimately a genuine friend and love interest for Sonic. But the view of her as a stalker causes that genuine passion and energy to be erased and attacked, causing her to become a completely different person that's described as "level headed" of all things.

I don't like how IDWnic talks to Surge. It's creepy. He keeps insisting they'll be friends, he jumps into their business and gets into her personal space. It's not a sex thing but it's harassment to me. Leave her alone. It's especially bad in the Riders arc, he had no reason to keep doing that.

The idea Amy is a stalker just comes down to Heroes being an onboarding for a lot of new fans who never played previous games so when they play Sonic's story and the only info they get about Amy is her saying something about marriage before a fight, they make the conclusion that's what she is.
Then they use this to inform anything and everything she ever does in any other game before and after. and since most kids didn't make it past PowerPlant energy rising section, they never learned what was going on with Team Rose that made them fight Team Sonic to begin with.

Sonic Adventure 1 is kind of ... not well written at all. Like, the very concept of the different story campaigns weren't well handled or executed in practice, from that perspective of multiple perspectives, and how the game is designed.

The writing itself in some instances is cool, but the overall end result is just weirdly handled. And Sonic's being the weakest is the prime example.

The ideal would be Sonic's story as the central pillar structured like the Storybook series or whatever, but each other character's story branches out from and/or intersects with that. Instead, it feels like they did it all backwards.

I'm curious about this because "rpg" is rather vague and we don't exactly know what Iizuka meant. I wonder if he meant like turn based, which sounds like a very weird idea for such a major game. A theory I've had for years is that maybe he just wanted something kinda like Zelda in terms of general game design, and I think he achieved that with SA1. And I've been thinking this long before I realized and learned that he like Zelda
That said he also used types in Heroes, so maybe he meant it in multiple ways

I'm aware it started as an RPG, but RPGs typically have party systems. The real issue is everyone having to have their own separate story perspectives, so Sonic has to have a context for why he meets every character to unlock their story mode.
SA1 is very much structured as a "what would a Sonic story be like from this perspective.
Tails is usually tailing Sonic so 2/3rds of his story is just Sonic's but with less stuff until they get separated like Sky Chase in Sonic 2.
Amy was kidnapped in Sonic CD so she is being chased by a robot and gets kidnapped.
Gamma is a robot so you get to see what it would be like to be Egg Robo pretty much.
Knuckles fights sonic because he was tricked like in the classics but then teams up with him.
SA1 had to reestablish the characters to the world and it does so while also establishing new direction for all the characters too.

Sonic the Hedgehog, in a nutshell.

I'm so tired, man...

Sonic is just so cool... But they constantly struggle to actually realize that potential. But the more you study Sonic and think about what they were aiming for, all you can think about is how could it could have been, and all the untapped potential... And then you notice everything they did right, all the music, all the character designs, all the gameplay and story that actually worked... and you notice everything that didn't work so much more now that you understand how much better it could have been.

Once you see the vision of what Sonic should be, it makes the reality of what Sonic -is- in execution so much worse.

But, it doesn't matter now what happens. I will never give up the fight! Long as the voice inside tells me to run and fight, it doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right!

I'll have faith that tomorrow will be a brighter day, and someday soon, Sonic Team will finally give us everything we've been waiting for!!! Because Sonic the Hedgehog is the COOLEST series alive!

The thing about SA1 though is that you kind of end up not realising it because the other characters have decent stories, they actually get better the more you make your way down the list. This is then also compounded by the fact you have context from previous stories so by the time you get to the end, it feels more well conceived and put together than it actually is.

>>565267067
>Instead, it feels like they did it all backwards.
I suspect that's literally what happened.
Every other character's story feels like it had an actual plan in mind for them and Sonic's ends up feeling like its stitched together to make it all work. I know he is the glue that keeps it all together but damn lol.

Sonic Adventure has one of my favorite stories. I like how simple and straightforward Sonic's perspective is. Eggman is at it again, defeat him, that's it. You can tell there's a lot more going on, but Sonic doesn't care, he does his thing and that's it. I appreciate the simplicity of Sonic's story. But I also appreciate that it makes the world feel a lot bigger, because then you switch to Tails, and suddenly you see mostly the same things again, but from a different and more introspective point of view. And hen you play as Knuckles and start to learn more about the ancient legends that were in the background. And Gamma shows you what it's like to work for Eggman. Things you, as Sonic, wouldn't think about. You switch back to Sonic for the final story, and despite not having much context, he figures it all out quickly and has a simple and straightforward solution for Tikal. Everything about this shows how Sonic thinks and acts, while also revealing more about the world and characters in ways that Sonic alone never could, simultaneously highlighting who Sonic is and why the other characters are also unique and valuable. Even if the moment to moment narrative or sequence of events isn't always the most exciting thing in the series, I think it's great. And if you don't like the complicated stories, well, just ignore the rest and focus on Sonic only

>>565268341
Yeah I agree. The hubs are like the overworld and the stages are the dungeons, and you collect items to gain more abilities which gives you access to more parts of the world

I find Sonic games in general to be very immersive, and I think that's by design. I think it's true of Sonic 1 and even more so of most of the 3D games. But I think most people would get upset if you called them RPGs. Even Zelda is controversial in that regard. How do you feel about this?

Well, I wouldn't do it, but if you really hate the other characters then SA1 in particular isn't forcing you to play them. I think that's something positive about it, which it also shares with 3&K. You don't have to do the secondary objectives to unlock all the bonus stuff. I think SA2 made a mistake by forcing all the characters in the same two stories, because now you are actually forced to play them if you're only interested in some of the game's offerings rather than the full experience

I don't think Classic needs voice acting, just better cutscene direction, visual storytelling and appropriate supplemental material like manuals properly contextualizing things; S3&K was able to do it so there is no reason nuClassic can't with time. That said, if the Classic games do get voices, the Classic cast should not have the same VAs as the Modern cast. This goes for all language dubs including Japanese.

>>565270223
Why do you want to see the ending of the story? My whole point is that if you don't care about the story or the perspective of the other characters and instead only want something simple like the classic games, then you just play Sonic, which is exactly what that is, as well as the core gameplay experience. If you're only in for Sonic's gameplay, don't care about the story, and don't like to play as the other characters, then you have no reason to care about the Super Sonic minigame boss either. And if you weren't paying attention to the story you shouldn't even have a clue that there is a secret ending. My whole point is that the extra content is for people who care about the extra content

Do you care about story in a Sonic game? Or video game stories in general? If you're answer is yes, then I'm not talking about you. I said that if someone doesn't care about the story then they don't need to play the other characters. And if you're only paying superficial attention, Sonic's main story still has a conclusion with Eggman getting defeated. If you are not the type of person who gets invested in the story then the extra story content isn't for you and that is okay

Because the game is particularly story driven and Sonic's campaign isn't really satisfying to complete on its own at all.
> instead only want something simple like the classic games, then you just play Sonic
But it isn't. Playing through the Classics as Sonic feels like a complete experience. in SA1, Sonic's story doesn't feel like one at all.
His gameplay also isn't strong enough on its own and you dont even spend most of his campaign playing it. You mostly are either messing around with fetchquests in the hubs or playing minigames like the Twinkle Circuit or Skychase.
Icecap is barely a level. its mostly the snowboard set piece.
Casinopolis is collecting rings in a casino, etc.
(the sewer level!) that you have to play multiple times to compensate for the rings total you need.

There isn't enough Sonic gameplay in Sonic's story for this argument to really work.
>>

I disagree, I've always found it satisfying on its own from a superficial point of view. Eggman is defeated as the final villain, Sonic and Tails celebrate and that's it

>Twinkle Circuit
>Icecap is barely a level. its mostly the snowboard set piece.
Twinkle Circuit is optional side content. You're thinking of the intro to Twinkle Park, which then expands into a proper level. Twinkle Park and Ice Cap are among the most involved levels in Sonic's story, so I find it really weird that you bring them up like that. Ice Cap especially, the first part is very focused on platfoming (and shortcuts if you're experienced with the stage) and the snowboarding section is still more involved with the ramps and the higher path at the end. Casinopolis and Sky Chase are fair, but that's not most of the game. Sonic is the core gameplay and got the most focus and content of any character, gameplay wise

You're right, idk why they did that. It was probably a compromise between wanting the Classic characters to be silent and still wanting Tails to function as "navigator/expositor" of the story, which he usually was during most of the meta era.

They really aren't. That honor goes to Speed highway and Red Mountain.
IceCap is like 2 minutes of gameplay of jumping between icicles before a 6 minute snowboarding spectacle scene.

>the snowboarding section is still more involved with the ramps
It isn't though. You can pretty much put the controller down. There aren't any obstacles to dodge, turns to make and doing tricks off of ramps doesn't do anything but look cool. You don't get scored on how many tricks ramps hit and given a ring bonus or anything.
Its very hollow.

Doesn't matter, the main threat was Eggman, not Chaos, and he's defeated. The characters celebrate, the credits roll, and the story is over

The more involved stages are Ice Cap, Twinkle Park, and Final Egg. Speed Highway is close. Red Mountain is good too. Wow, this game has plenty of great stages

Whether the player ends up enjoying Sonic's gameplay or not is completely irrelevant. I never said you can't dislike Sonic's gameplay. I said that if you don't want the game to have a complicated story or other characters then the game, unlike SA2, doesn't force you to experience all of its content and instead let's you play the part you're interested in. This I consider to be a much better game design decision than what SA2 does.

This is patently untrue. the entire concept of the game, the reason you go to half the levels is to find chaos emeralds before eggman because he is giving them to Chaos to use to take over the world.
Chaos IS Eggman's plan. You cant separate them the way you are trying to.

Icecap is barely a level. Its a spectacle set piece with 2minutes of platforming as its interlude which gets the idea of Icecap from Sonic 3 completely backwards.
Twinkle park's isn't either. There's barely any actual platforming or any interaction with the level.
>This I consider to be a much better game design decision than what SA2 does.
I knew from the start this was about SA2. It's always just insecurity about SA2. SA1fags always gotta make up arbitrary things to protect it since SA2 is more popular.

I don't need to. The game does it for me. Each character gets its own story, and Sonic's story in particular is more straightforward than any other character's.
Chaos is under Eggman's control, it's the unlockable final story that turns things around.
You are just completely wrong about Twinkle Park and Ice Cap, they are involved and have platforming, but at this point that has nothing to do with the main point so I'll drop it here.
I think Sonic's gameplay in SA2 is more fun than SA1's. But I also think that there are some things SA1 does way better, and this is one of them. I criticize both games where I see fit

I find the "you can just ignore 5 out of 6 of the stories of the game" argument to just be a very tired cop-out argument SA1's fans use to paint it as a superior game to SA2 out of insecurity.
Not only is it dumb on its face, but it doesn't even work because most of Sonic's story isn't even his gameplay anyway as I explained. And that was my point originally to begin with.

Twinkle Park is 30 seconds. the other minute and a half is the karting and the rollercoaster segment before the action level starts.

I can boot up SA1 right now and play through all of Sonic's story. I think it's completely fair to complain about Casinopolis and Sky Chase, or the short area at the start of Twinkle Park, but those aren't "most of Sonic's story". SA2 instead will make you play as Tails and Knuckles, who now are even more different than Sonic, for an hour before you can play another Sonic stage. And I like playing as Tails and Knuckles in SA2, but I want to choose the character I play as, especially when they're so different. It's way worse than a snowboarding section that doesn't even alter the gameplay that much could ever be.

I love both SA1 and SA2. I made a post saying some things I like about SA1, and this just so happens to be one of SA2's weaknesses

This isn't even a good job of ignoring the level. He skips 2 to go to 1 at the beginning just to go back to 2. And then he makes it to the right bridge platform but then goes backwards through the icicles instead of going up past where the ice bridge puts you. He also doesn't clip past the snowboard section so that the clock doesn't run.

its 3/4ths of the level. The level itself is 30 seconds. see here>>565275828
>"most of Sonic's story".
It is when you account for futzing around in the hubs. Most of Sonic's story isn't actually playing as Sonic in SA1.

Also Skydeck is a terrible level.

Sonic is all about skipping as much of the stage as possible for speed strats

Anon was arguing that Twinkle Park doesn't have platforming. You aren't going to take the shortcuts on a first playthrough, or even a second. Using a video that shows shortcuts as if that's what the stage is like by default is dishonest.

I guess Marble Zone has no platforming whatsoever, huh.

>>565275840
>It's way worse than a snowboarding section that doesn't even alter the gameplay that much
It objectively does, but much more importantly I prefer actually playing the game rather than having to do my chores for 30 seconds of the actual core gameplay.

I remember reviews used to say Naka liked the tech stuff and guns they you see during the Dreamcast era the most while Oshima liked the mythical stuff the most.

We aren't talking about a first playthrough. I don't see why we would restrict it to that now out of nowhere but then we have to address the futzing around looking for the levels and key items to access them in the hubs now.
>Tikal helps you!
Not in Sonic's story she doesn't.
>I guess Marble Zone has no platforming whatsoever, huh
Lemme guess, your video uses glitches.
>looks at video.
Figures.
Imagine comparing normal traversal of the game to glitches.

The content is in the levels regardless of whether you skip it or not, or how you skip it. You can't say it only has 30 seconds of platforming and then use a specific video as proof. Not everyone is going to play the game the same way as that particular video.

The first shortcut cuts out 35 seconds compared to the Dreamcast video. Second shortcut 24 seconds. Third shortcut 19 seconds.

The person in the video I posted is taking there time and playing badly. They don't use the spindash once.
>>
>>565278523
Yeah, and the other is playing well. The average player isn't going to do all of that in 4 seconds without the shortcuts.
>>
>>565241794
I only just now saw the OP edition. I like it.
>>
>>565278624
The average player is gonna use the spindash and isn't gonna play as deliberately suboptimal as the one in the one i posted.
They went all the way around the top of the tower which even first timers don't do.
Where is the involved platforming? The section in question is the pinball thing which is done for spectacle and the water platforms which you don't even need to land on.
>>
>>565278869
It's not gonna be done in 4 seconds. You're not realistic.

ShTH being edgy wasn't the problem, ShtH was bad because
>the game was announced by having Shadow open fire on gameplay of SA1
>slippery Heroes controls
>every level is like Team Chaotix from Heroes if you aren't going neutral/last story/hard mode
>gunplay is shit but necessary because enemies are bullet sponges
>the actual narrative is legitimately incomprehensible
>Sonic in the opening cinematic is shown fighting to the bitter end until Shadow steps in, but in the actual game Sonic doesn't really care until Black Doom is about to win
>Sonic Team got cold feet on commiting to the edgy and walked a bunch of shit back
>opening cinematic starts with Shadow walking in front of the full moon (after it was blown up) with a fucking pump action mp5
"oh but japan hates edgy" Japan never liked Sonic anyway.

It took you several replies to bring out the "I wasn't being literal!" cope, mind you. You are well aware that the shortcuts cut out half the stage.
