Strong Guy

That's always how I pronounced it too, like velocity. Also, Hydrocity is the best water level in the series. Maybe in all of platformers.

Do you believe Jet, Storm, or at the very least Wave can naturally fly? I don’t believe anything of the sort has ever been implied. Though being birds and supposed wind masters you’d think they might be able to.

Imagining a long mangey manlet Tails flying through the sky in this pile of trash movie would be absolutely ridiculous. I’m happy we don’t get to see any other characters mauled by this repulsive “”””“realism””””” art direction.

I'm convinced you don't understand the appeal of this franchise. You don't understand the appeal of Sonic's design. You don't get it. All you care about is Sonic being on the big screen. This is trash.

What is appealing about this? Where is the charm? This is fucking filthy. I don't get it. I literally don't get it.

I haven’t rewatched the first part in a while but I’m pretty sure omega was 3D cg.

That is the absolute bare minimum. People wouldn’t care as much if Sonic wasn’t ugly.

I really love the treasure hunting in SA1 & 2 and the mission based gameplay the Chaotix had in Heroes. Everyone hates them but I always had a lot of fun with them. In particular SA1 and Heroes because of the shared levels between the characters. You tend to play with Sonic or others first and that makes you become familiar with the layout of the stages and it lets me appreciate exploring these levels I really just blasted through before. This also helps give the stages some purpose beyond just get from point A to point B.

Do you have a source for this? I am interested in knowing more about the creation of Mighty and Ray and when I’ve looked in the past I could never find any info.

I’ve wondered this too but I’m pretty sure it’s just because some people probably just think the I is a lowercase L, for some reason. As a weeb, most people don’t know enough about the Japanese language to know they don’t use the letter L.

You don’t think enemies being powered by the worlds power rings makes more sense than helpless little animals? The fact Eggman’s robot army is out there harming wildlife is enough incentive to destroy enemies. Flickies would still be captured in capsules at the end of the stages so they’ll still play their part. And besides it’s not like you get anything for destroying all enemies anyways. I’d be more behind this idea if the levels were more designed for destroying all enemies in mind or at least if you got a “enemy bonus” at the end of a stage for doing so. I just don’t like the idea that any enemies I haven’t come across will have a helpless critter trapped inside of them for the rest of their life. Especially when I was but a young bab.

Unpopular opinions here, I always preferred the egg pawns to other badniks when it came to basic mooks. I don’t like badniks having flickies trapped inside them because it makes me feel bad running past an enemy. When I was younger I’d try and destroy every enemy and it made my playthroughs of games more stressful than they needed to be. Advance 3 did it right by having enemies powered by rings. Lore wise I’m not sure if flickies actually power badniks but I used to think that and thought rings just make way more sense. I wish they’d do that again. That or the flowers from CD. Rings still make more sense but the world being covered with flowers after destroying baddies is so nice and satisfying. I wish Sonic Team would give us an open fully 3D Sonic game already, but I still want boost games to be released on the side. Honestly I’d love it if they were $30 games that are short and sweet and consist of nothing but dumb fun, blast forward at full speed boost levels. No classic Sonic, no other nonsense to slow the pace down. Just boost. I think it’d be a great way to keep the formula alive, plus I think even people who dislike the boost could have a greater appreciation for them if the big boy fully 3D Sonic Utopia/Mario Odyssey style game is still the main course. I don’t think this is unpopular but I really wish they’d give us cool cover 2D art for games again. Like the Japanese classics, SA1 and 2, Sonic Rush, Sonic Battle and the reversible Sonic Mania plus cover. The 3D artworks tend to be so boring and generic looking. Especially with all the sick Sonic Channel Art Uekawa is putting out there’s no excuse. They could easily have stylish cover arts I can’t keep my eyes off again. Honestly the SA1 and Sonic Jam cover arts are so nice to look at. I want that again.
