Here's a neat little thing:

Man, it's almost like it's 2008 again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14ydG-7JGuY&t=

So, I figured this was something worth raising this thread up for: https://youtu.be/R7C9Tq_k2f4 It's a mod that lets you play as Zelda instead of Link. A few of the costumes you gain throughout the game have even been given their own designs for her and been implemented in-game. Looks pretty cool! Worth noting that it's being done on Wii U, but not on Switch, I believe.

All I can say about what I saw: I FUCKING KNEW IT

Something I just thought of: could these shorts lead into Encore Mode's story? (Assuming there even is a different story there in the first place)

Instead of giving continues (which haven't really been useful since Sonic 2), it seems like a group of lives, say around 3, would be much more useful as an SS reward for Mach 3. And as far as continues go, they should just make them unlimited. Again, the fact that you can save your game basically makes having them finite pointless. And why is there no Time Attack for the Special Stages? That still seems like a missed opportunity to me.

Maybe his looking up sprite has animation? It could be a weird frame then, if that's rhe case.

I bring you the gift of memes. It's Kranic, the Hog of War!

Interesting. It sounds like with the OO sub-boss, the spikes are small enough to fit Sonic and Tails, but not Knuckles. I thought I remember hearing something about how Knuckles being taller than Sonic was reflected in his hitbox in the classic games.

Normally, I just lurk, but uh... https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-middle-east-43762251 Well, this was...huh. Not sure how big a news story this is, but I figured it should be brought to light here. Back to lurking then.

I could see Rumble working. Now we just need "HD Ice Cubes" as a fighter or assist trophy.

I'm getting better at this "updating" thing.

From what I recall, the original Organization was made up of Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus and Zexion at its foundation, with Xemnas, Vexen and Zexion being the only scientists among them while the other three were just guards. Any other members were simply stragglers of that same world (Sai-X and Axel as examples) or are of unknown origins. (Roxas being an exception, since we all know where he came from)

Man, do I love this game. Going around all sneaky or guns ablazing feels great whichever way you decide to play. But it's true about the grind, though. I'm a few hours in and still only on Mercury with an Excalibur frame. Still, it's a fun time, so the grindiness might not feel too bad at all, really.

An update in the same year? What a twist!

Ugh, yeah I was honestly wondering if I should submit this. I was liking the dialog but it overall felt like I didn't put enough action or something for a Sonic story. It's just been a while since I actually sat down to write something substantial. I guess I jumped the gun on putting this up before really going over it.

Well, I've had this story idea for a while and finally decided to share it. It's only the first chapter (and the only chapter, at the moment) but, hopefully, I'll actually keep this going. Fingers crossed, and I hope you enjoy!
