>yeah so, Sonic 1 has this strategy to it, right?>You have to practice and earn speed right?>there's no way to just immediately gain speed. It's genius and a proper "game" with risk/reward.>On top of that already good idea, there is the fact that you have to be a ball to remove your speed cap, thus creating 2 different game states, thus increasing game complexity.>It's bloody genius.>what a second... What's that?>Sonic 2 is coming out?>I'm sure it's gonna be good>wait..... It's completely missed the point of sonic the hedgehog?>it's just mashing this technique called "spin dash" and running through "boosters">the gameplay is braindead?>holy crap I had so much hope in this series. Oh well.
>>12037518meme complaint, if you don't know the levels you'll just get hit and die.>oh but there's some quick speed sections so that means the whole level is like thatfuck off retard.
Mike Cerny coded Sonic 2
>>12037547?
>>12037518unrelated but Tubular in SMW totally had me gorilla gripped cuz it's one of the levels where i can't just cape fly through it by getting a running start anywhere in the level
>>12037725that's not unrelated. There's no level in sonic 2 that you can't just blaze through by mashing spin-dash except the last level.
>>12037743I guess 3 fixed that issue huh
>>12037757The cat's out of the bag. They can't remove the spin-dash now because the autistic sonic trannies would rope themselves on the front doorstep of the SOA building.
>>12037743>didn't play the gamefeel free to spin dash through metropolis zone and die. ironically the last zone is arguably the best for the spin dash, at least with mecha sonic because you can do it as he's going down and hit him four times for free, get out of the way and jump on him, and then spin dash into him three more times. death egg robot not so much but it's good for getting out of the way after he lands.
>>12037889for the first four hits i mean hold it on him to be specific, the latter three hits are actually dashing through him.
Fuck off disingenuous poser retard
>>12037518Sonic 2 definitely missed the point.
I loved Sonic 1 and 2 as a kid and would play them back to back without ever caring that the spin dash wasn't in 1 yet. I simply understood that the move hadn't been invented yet.
>>12037889when I said "last level" I meant metropolis.>>12038097The move should have never been invented.
sonic was always bad and any illusion of speed is just set piece slop where the game plays itself
>>12038618sonic 1 is the only game without that.
>>12037518>a patrician take on /vr/
>>12038618That's why Sonic 1 is good retard.
The initial strategy didn't change, just the layout
>>12037518Sonic 1 is a pinball game.Sonic 2 is a rollercoaster game.
