A portion of the cabal of western games journalists acted like Sonic 3 was bad for decades because his sprite was different. How autistic is that?
>>12499430They did? Who specifically?
why is he so shiny though
>>12499439Jeff Gerstmann and his yes men
Just as autistic as obssessing over sonic in your 30s.
>>12499430it doesn't make any sense either because while sonic 2 is a great game, sonic 3 (and knuckles) outclasses it in every category.
>>12499430>plays sonic 3 complete with Sonic 2's sonic spritenothin personnel kid
>>12499430Never heard that complaint once.
>>12499430Is this all that's left for zoomers? Just making up lies?
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is better than Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. It’s better than Sonic CD as well but that goes without saying, Sonic CD blows ass.
>>12499430
>>12499594the green eyes on the hyper sonic was a based change. made him much more cool and menacing.
>>12499442Everyone was hyped for DKC at the time and Seger overcompensated.
>>12499430I miss the sonic 1 sprite, the fact it got reused in CD made me happy.
why is there so much consternation with sonic's sprites? you don't see this with mario sprites or really any other series for that matter
>>12500701>you don't see this with mario sprites or really any other series for that matterI mean I don't see it either but that's probably because modern mario games are more beloved than the classics, while for sonic the classics are more beloved than the modern games. I do personally prefer the SMB2 mario sprite but i'm not going to moan and whine about it.
>>12499594Sonic 2 > Sonic 3 is a clear downgrade
>>12500701Because Nintoddlers love whatever shit they get on their plate no matter what.
>>12499430i don't remember anyone hating sonic 3 until recently
>>12500701because a huge amount of sonic's appeal is in the fact that his design is fucking brilliant, the early games just so happen to be pretty fun as a bonus. no one gives a flying fuck what mario looks like, his games have always just been that good.so the way that said design is presented to the player becomes a huge point of contention. the sonic 3 sprite comes off as "doofier" and more harmless whereas the sonic 1/2 sprite has the attitude that everyone attributes to his early characterization. add in the autism multiplier and you've got your answer
>take opinion that a subset of a niche fanbase says loudly>falsely claim "everyone" says itI see video essays do this constantly.
>>12500959this website does it better than any other place. constant stream of literal whos that have 10 followers on twitter that are meant to somehow be indicative of wider sentiment
>>12499430A portion of zoomers act like they were around for times when they weren't yet born. How autistic is that?
>>12500701>>12500702I think the fact that Mario sprites are incredibly inconsistent works in their favor here. There is barely a definitive version when every game has a very different looking Mario, and it gets worse with the 16 bit remakes. There is no principle design for autists to stick to and claim as the main design everyone should be using. Not when Mario could never even keep a consistent shade of red between any 2 games. The Koopa kids are probably the worst offenders in no two games can maintain the same look or even the color palette. Like why the hell was Ludwig yellow in Mario world? Who the fuck knows. None of them resembled the official artwork until the Wii era. And even then Iggy was totally redesigned in those games.
>>12500978You millenials love making things up, I couldn't imagine being as salty as your generation is.
>>12501012The few of us that could buy houses aren’t going to let you brain dead Tik Tok zombies have them when we go.
>>12500590Yeah but they aren't shaded at all and the area around then is greys so it looks less like they're meant to be green and more like there's just a hole they forgot to color in and you're seeing a color meant to be the transparency
>>12499594I can't ignore those few white pixels below his eyes by his cheeks, I've never noticed that shit before.
>>12499430>>12499439>>12499485>>12499559Not a single post in this thread has understood that OP is referencing mariotehplumber videos from the early 2010s
>>12501007>Like why the hell was Ludwig yellow in Mario worldThe reason for this is the SMW theme of using the 4 primary colors from the SFC clover logo.You've got the koopa shells, the yoshis, the switch palaces/special blocks, even those tiny birds on top of Yoshi's house.And finally the koopalings, much like the koopa troopas, they also arr divided in groups of blue (iggy and roy), green (morton and larry) yellow (lemmy and ludwig) and red (just wendy).Curiously, on the end credits the koopalings appear each with their unique colors, but those on that single screen, and not in game.Also something that actually bugged me as a kid was Ludwig's hair though, on the official art he was blue haired, but both in SMB3 and SMW his hair is white. It also seems deliberate because they could have used a blue shell palette for him and use blue on his hair. So it's like one of those weird yet soulful retro things where the in game sprites don't necessarily have to match the art.Nowadays I appreciate Ludwig's white hair, it does look more like Mozart that way
>>12501284sorry OP, no one watched your youtube videos.
>>12501284Holy shit that takes me back. What a god
>>12501329You just had to be there
>>12499594did they make the Sonic 2 animation LESS smooth between the prototype and the final release? why?i know there's that error with the Super Sonic standing animation missing a frame. once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
>>1249943020 dollars all those same faggots woulda been crying about it if it was the same sprite
>>12501007I hate how in modern merchandise the first SMB Mario is the definitive version used whenever they want to use an 8-bit sprite. I always liked the Mario 3 version more.
