ur gettin canceled buddy

See how many characters you can spot.

That’s a pretty badass looking tree. Can’t say I recognize anyone (besides what I’m assuming is Barbie?) on it, though.

Anyways, here’s my tree.

(I wish I knew why the image is in landscape, instead of portrait like it’s supposed to, but oh well.)

You can see it much clearer when you click on the image.

Oh, wow. You’re right. Now, I feel dumb, cuz I actually recognize a good amount of these characters, too. 

Here’s some more angles

You guys have trees up already?

You and me both.

What would you think of a Marvel vs. Capcom vs. SNK?

At this point, everyone wants just a simple Capcom self-crossover. No potential meddling with the other partner company and double the normal roster size so more fans can be happy.

Marvel vs Capcom vs SNK sounds like it would be awesome, but also would probably the least likely game to happen. Oh, well. Maybe we’ll get a fan game of sorts.

@Teoskaven Idk, the last time Capcom did something like that, it was a total mess. I guess it could be better the second time, but at the same time, maybe not.

Capcom VS Capcom.

They have so many great characters on their own to use, and so many characters that could really benefit from having the spotlight.

Capcom vs Capcom but it's like SF5 and starts out with like 10 Characters so the concept is entirely botched

@Menace2Society Bad administration can happen to any scenario, it's only partially irrelevant because the advantage is that there's only one company that can fuck up unlike in cases like Marvel Infinite where the budget and half the roster was dictated by proxy by Perlmutter's dickery.

It happens to the topics and news tabs at times too. I wouldn't worry too much about it personally.

I like this one even more.

Advance 2 was a nice middle ground between the two and I wish we got more of that

My only complaint about Advance 2 onwards is that gameplay wise, the zones kinda blend together.  The Classic games are really good at having a bunch of different toys to play with on every zone, whereas it always feels like the Rush games only have one or two per zone or rely on set-pieces where the controls temporarily change (dolphins, minecarts, hang glider etc) a lot to seperate the zones.

Advance 2 is definitely the nice middleground in terms of game engine, although that game does have particularly one-note stage design (aside from Music Plant, with is a decadant feast of fun platforming toys).

So you like automated gameplay where your input, stage layout and physics doesn't matter as much and you have sections where you just have to mash the button fast to rack up points and refill the boost bar.

No, that sounds stupid.

Good thing Rush’s gameplay isn’t like that at all, lol.

Every time I think I like Rush, I play it and can't stand to finish it. The level design is so uninspiring, the death pits are overabundant and the mechanics underneath the hood are second only to Sonic 4 in terms of missing the mark. Also, the trick mechanics are obnoxio-YEAHOKYEAHOKYEAHOKYEAHOK *children screaming* *confetti cluttering the screen* 

The Rush games just aren't very fun for me. Music's dope, tho.

Doubt it. But I agree that one world be worthwhile. Each act is long and incredibly boring, and the fact that you have to go through each one twice is really frustrating.

I'm not sure how the levels are coded. I would guess that they run a script of events and the act automatically ends at the end of said script. Dunno how you'd go about modding that out, short of rewriting the script. At least you don't have to deal with the DC loading times anymore. That's a teeny tiny victory.

I don't know if the Dreamcaset mod (to the SADX version) allows you to skip those stages when playing with Tails.

Sky Chase is the reason I hate playing SA1's story anymore, and you have to do it four fucking times

Well, then. Guess I’ll just use a “All Levels Unlock” code next time I play it, then. Anything to avoid doing those stages ever again.

Honestly? It's a mystery to me. The PSP sold better in Japan than anywhere else if I recall right, so it's not as if the market wasn't there. 

They were never released in Japan? Weird.

Maybe they realized nobody would care. I mean, like, seriously, the Rivals games might be the least cared-about games in the whole franchise. Probably only beat by obscure mobile titles. Not even hated, just ignored.

he ran so fast that time went backwards for him

The Adventures were actually prequels to the classic games all along.

@Diogenes Maybe in Sonic and the Black Knight Sonic was never King Arthur. He was Merlin all along. 

Now that Classic and Modern are different universes, that would've technically made C. Sonic the older of the two.

Then I remembered it was Sonic's birthday when they first met, so he most likely turned 16 again.

@Supah Berry

On Sonic Generations his cake had no candles to hide the fact that he didn't age and is still 15.

And now with Roger Craig Smith he sounds like he's 30+ still trying to sound like 16.

Reminder that this only holds true going by the Western profile and that the Japanese version had him at 15-16 anyway.
