new chapter of that gay ass shadow manga just dropped

The 'Black Doom possessed the GUN soldiers into killing Maria' idea is being made more implicit now, with Shadow outright thinking this is what happened, though he could still be wrong.

Either way, this comic has taken a very different, probably non-canon turn with them throwing in this Gyoro/Bug-Eye character, who looks like Doom's Eye if he was created specifically for the publication's elementary-school demographic.

Shadow gets pulled into White Space straight after Maria's death, so way earlier than in the actual game based on the trailers/Dark Beginnings.

It might be cool for this to end up being a parallel story where this younger, just-saw-Maria-die Shadow gets manipulated by 'Gyoro' into helping Black Doom, while the modern-day Shadow does the opposite. It's essentially the Shadow equivalent of Classic/Modern Sonic.

I really wish Sonic Origins had save states, the last stage of Sonic 2 is fucking hard, Genesis emulation is easily accessible at least

Having it be an easy mode would be nice.

I hate fighting the Death Egg Robot. No matter how many times I beat it, at least one of those encounters involves me phasing through his sprite instead of bouncing off and dying in his hitbox and I can't figure out what triggers it. But yeah Mecha Sonic is easy once you realize you can cheese out hits before it even starts to attack and avoid most of its patterns

The last boss is bullshit, I remember being stuck on that as a kid and never beating it. Even as an adult it's a chore and I can never get a feel for where and when to hit him. Plus he feels like a punishment for making the game easy as Knuckles lol.

The final two bosses on Sonic 2 in the Death Egg are slow as hell with scripted attacks. They didn't have time to make good final bosses so they just took the rings away. Slow the fuck down and wait for Eggman's fatass robot to jump. It's not like the ending is very interesting.

it wouldnt be as bad if there was at least some rings, I get why it was made like that though, games were harder due to limited hard drive space in the early 90s so they had to make shit harder in order for it to last

Saw a comment somewhere that ian flynn made some statement weeks ago about the time eater being a fragment of mephiles/creation of mephiles or some shit and this is possibly going to be the new canon or whatever- er i mean was always canon! WHY DIDN'T HE BETRAY EGGMAN WHY DID THE BIG MONSTER ROBOT NOT BETRAY THE GUY THAT WAS PILOTING IT?!
They're gonna make the death egg robot sentient/not actually made by eggman next and make him gay or something. I'm fucking calling it n case it happens. Who's he gay for? WHO'S INSIDE HIM ALL THE TIME, HUH?

I think that's the whole point, it's mainly an endurance test that's kind of easy but hard if you aren't paying attention/mess up once. No hit runs exist in games probably inspired by shit like those bosses where you had to never get hit to beat the stage.

I can never get a feel for where and when to hit him.

Everywhere but the little spikey arms that are constantly moving. He's vulnerable from behind but he shoots out little bombs if you go behind him sometimes.

this was never hinted at in the original game. why tf would he do this? if Mephiles was behind this shit, why didn't he just turn into Solaris again?

because "rememba the thing?" also I'm guessing it's also "rememba how sonic 06 was in generations but it made no sense cause 06 was wiped from history being a common complaint?" You know, it's not like eggman made a literal FAILURE POINT ERASURE TIME MACHINE TO ERASE HIS FAILURES. NO, NOT LIKE THEY EVEN POINTED OUT IN OG GENERATIONS THAT TIME IS BEING ABSOLUTELY FUCKED UP BY THIS THING HAHA IT'S JUST ALL "META CRINGE" GUYS THEY'RE ADDING AN ACTUAL PLOT NOW!

Seriously I already brought this up but the way people talk about this shit with the "meta era" just feels like the same "sonic was never good" script people had online from that era but with the targets switched to something else that's now acceptable. Also hoping this dumb shit doesn't make it into the final game because it's actually retarded levels of retconning especially given mephiles is a rival boss in the shadow mode lmao.

Honestly, People should probably stop listening to "lore" provided by Ian as either what he says make no sense with what the games establish or what the actual heads at Sonic team say. It's crazy how the western side is now almost entirely different from the Japanese side. Since, In the 2000's the goal was to make the western side follow the Japanese Continuity. But, now the scripts in Japanese and English are almost nothing alike as are the characters too.

I Saw this today and this is just sad. I know Pontac and Graff's writing in the series was controversial to say the least but I thought their in writing in Generations was Okay. Sure, It was nothing Great and There was hardly a story. But, did it really need to be rewritten? It'll be Interesting to see the japanese version and see if that one stays largely intact. Since, the characters in Japanese have been pretty consistent even in the 2010's.

I love the autism in the comments of this vid i just found (which i thought the latter half of the vid was a joke ala that guy that reuploads smiling friends clips)

 

[GoodWinSon]

The fact SEGA is compelled to autistically tie all the sonic games together will never not be funny. Imagine if Nintendo did this with Mario.

It doesn't help the games made by the US team are being rewitten by the JP team too these days. Sega's slipping into that special kind of retardation from the early sonic days of "oh western audiences are gonna find this too weird to be taking place on earth!"

Meanwhile Mario is literally a plumber from brooklyn that went to a foreign fictional vaguely european themed country with oriental/arabian themed peasants in mushroom hats as the populace and fights a giant turtle who just really really wants a GF bad. Mario weirdly went through what early sonic did around a decade or so ago but universal rather than reigon specific as i already said but it's mostly back to normal now. Mostly.

The fact SEGA is compelled to autistically tie all the sonic games together will never not be funny. Imagine if Nintendo did this with Mario.

Mario does this too though! The implication with sonic and mario games is usually just "the game takes place some time after the last game that came out" So you sometimes have occasional callbacks to earlier things.

One thing I'll always appreciate with sonic shit compared to mario shit is they try explaining something changing when it does as silly as it ends up being instead of just doing the completely schizo ass mario thing of "well Mario is the older brother er i mean he's the older twin of Luigi, and Mario's cousin or pissed off childhood friend wario I MEAN GUY HE'S NOT RELATED TO and his brothe-ER I MEAN GUY HE'S JUST FRIENDS WITH WHO REALLY HATES MARIO'S TWIN BUT ALSO YOUNGER BROTHER LUIGI AND IS NOT RELATED TO ANYBODY AT ALL WALUIGI play tennis and race cars together sometimes. Bowser and his kiDS-ER I MEAN HIRED MINIONS THAT ARE CHILDREN AND JUST SO HAPPEN TO LOOK A LOT LIKE HIM NO HIS NAME ISN'T MORTON SR. SEE HE HAS A SON THAT'S CALLED BOWSER JR."
Don't even get me started on the fact cranky kong got retconned to DK'S father and Diddy got retconned to his nephew for only one game before going back to grandpa and best friend that one really fucks with me.

Dammit Ian, stop making this story about chaotic, fast animals confusing!

We're gonna start seeing charts like this but it's entirely just game stage names and song lyric excerpts.

Meanwhile, Toadsworth had quietly died from natural causes.

The Zelda series is even worse, along with Metroid.

Meanwhile, Toadsworth had quietly died from natural causes.

I don't remember that happening but I know that's been a meme recently after people noticed he just kind of fucking vanished. I think he's actually just another casualty of the occasional retcons they do for "consistent branding" like how toads all just stopped having different designs from each other.

The Zelda series is even worse, along with Metroid.

Metroid did a more autistic ass thing than what sonic 06 was going to do before walking back on it. 06 was going to be a "complete fresh start/reboot of the series" every game after was going to be based on, but Metroid other M was like "OH NO SEE NONE OF THE GAMES THAT CAME AFTER SUPER METROID ARE CANON ANYMORE GUYS THIS IS THE OFFICIAL INTENDED TIMELINE AND ALWAYS WAS WE JUST COULDN'T DO IT TILL NOW" And then much like 06 they ate shit for that but even more severely because the games after super are all pretty universally well liked despite the universal lower launch sales of metroid games compared to other nintendo games.

New Sonic X Shadow Generations Chao Manga just dropped:

Finally, some good fucking media. Weirdly has the vibe of OG generations and not the leaked rewrites, but that might be due to it being made by Japan. Like this could be a promo for the first game over a decade ago. It doesn't feel like a decade AUGH

I'm surprised they never made a "chao in space" or "the man 3" animated short or manga. Chao in space more than "the man 3" because of how fucking popular chao shit ended up being, but I also want to know if the man 3 was gonna be anything other than vague movie poster shitposting.

SEO is shit so image search engines no longer bring up the isolated textures for the man 3 and instead just gives me the sonic 3 movie shit which has nothing to do with THE MAN 3
IT DOES BRING UP A SCREEN GRAB OF IT THOUGH.
