That’s not hard when your only competition is the Deadly 6 and generic monsters with no intelligence outside “destroy things”

Aaron has done nothing to promote them since issue 1 launch.

Shouldn't this be Sega's job? After all, they own the rights of Sonic.

The last time I remember a generic monster, was over a decade ago in Unleashed. 

And if we're going back that far, I think Merlina was better than Infinite.

Mother Wisp doesn't count. That's definitely why I ignored her.

I... I didn't forget her or anything.

Well there was mother Wisp if we count the DS game 

Plus Lyric, D-Fekt, and the Hard Boiled Heavies in their respective alternate branches. I would still count Mother Wisp, though. Even though she got brainwashed and transformed, she was still acting and fighting on her own.

I’m not a fan of the Deadly Six to begin with due to being boring and cliche af personality wise, and I don’t understand why Sega keeps shoving them (particularly Zavok) down our throats like they’re these REALLY popular characters and you must love them dammit! I think Orbit and Cubot would’ve been a much better choice for Team Eggman. They’re funny, have a personality and I actually *gasp* like them! 

Oh, the Zeti have personalities.  They're just mostly simplistic and/or under-developed to a fault.

I will say it is just a tad peculiar that they've been including at least one of them at this point of time considering the appearances before Forces were likely being made before Lost World was actually out and Forces at least needed another established villain.

Who did people like out of the Deadly Six?

Zazz and especially Zor are the two who work the best, whether in the context of what Iuzuka intended for the Deadly Six and as characters within the Sonic cast. They still have their detractors, obviously.

The other three varies, but the general consensus seems to average around "meh." If we had to rank them, though, I think the scale is probably Zavok, Master Zik, and Zomom, in that descending order.

I'm sure the vast majority agrees Zeena is the absolute worst, though. 
 

 

If we're talking personally, though, I'd say my personal scale is Zor(favorite), Zazz(like), Master Zik(still want to like), Zavok(grown to appreciate), Zomom(eh), and Zeena(pretty much hate).

 I liked Zeena but only because she had a cool design. Her character was awful.

Yeah, that sad thing is her design is actually pretty good.

Wouldn't it have been better for the Deadly Six to be a team? The plot opportunities are being solely missed here. We could have some exploration of their team work and friendship. Same for the Chaotix.

 

We can say that about half of these teams.

And have.

And maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but I would much rather have Infinite than Zavok in Team Eggman. One of the interesting things about Infinite was his loyalty to Eggman, despite his disagreements with him and thinking he's superior.

Eh, he'd make more sense, at least. Not to mention having a visually different color scheme.

2 hours ago, Plasme said:

I know a lot of people take the piss out of Infinite, but I think he was the best Sonic villian in years.

Eh, he was the best villain in the sense that he as not only an animal, but deliberately brought things more in line with how they were during the late Dreamcast era and very early Modern. He was also an overtly Ultimate Villain type.

That's also a big handicap.

Plus Dr. Nega and debatably, the Babylon Rogues.

She's also confined to a public domain storybook, not to mentioning falls into the "redemption" category.

I just remembered we know nothing about the story, how will it work? The only things we know are a vague premise that Dodon Pa brings them to a different world where past zones are together, and forces them to race and perhaps forces the team formations, they have to race to survive (which is honestly interesting). Plus we know that it's like Transformed's World Tour, so a single story, and not divided into teams, maybe a shorter story will result in better writing? Who knows. I just want the characters well written, in-character and some funny stuff, not the usual shitty plot devices. Please be better than Free Riders...

Also, I would like some actual in-game cutscenes, not just dialogues with images, we know those are in the game, but who says there won't be a couple of real scenes? We know really nothing about this game, jeez...

Yeah, actual cutscenes would help.

Even if they're a bit on the cheap side, which is easy nowadays.

There's also Time Eater, but I wouldn't expect anyone but me remember that.

Still giant monsters, though.

I personally enjoy the Deadly Six. They have cool designs, funny personalities and are one of the very few Non-Dr.-Eggman-Villains that actually fit into the Sonic Universe since they are also designed and written in a very cartoon-like way. Most other Sonic villains look like they belong into another game. Merlina and Erazor-Djinn, for example, look like they belong into a Zelda game and villains like Iblis and Dark Gaia look like monsters form a Square Enix game.

And those villains who have the more the typical Sonic design like Infinite and Mephilies are just way too over the top for their own good.

Zavok can have a lot of reasons for joining Team Eggman like watching Eggman to see what he can learn from him, he just likes competition or Eggman was really desperate when looking for the last member of his team. Zavok is one of the better bad guys in the Sonic world with more appropriate goals that doesn't end up trying to enslaved others like Eggy over there and it isn't known who the most popular Zeti is besides Zavok and Zass but Zeena is the funny one being the least evil of the group caring more about her looks than what happens to Sonic.

Concept art of a track called “Frozen Junkyard”. 

 

Obligatory "but Forces sucks" comment.

A scrap of concept art is far from enough at this point.

I mean, you're not wrong.

That second one was apparently a thing for the Olympic games.

Ch'yeah. Truly this is the meta era. :lol:

Uh, technically, most of them are supposed to be funny, but sure, I'll give ya some of that.

I thought that it was a call-back/reference to Sonic Spinball at first glance xD

Mother Wisp should be a playable character in TSR tho'.

Sounds like a terrible idea, and besides, that would mean she's using her own children as projectiles...

Woa, Frozen Junkyard?
Woa, that looks neat. A unique track. (Well, probably based on Chemical plant zone from Sonic Forces)
Nice, first track I'm genuinely impressed by, not being either Generations 2.0 or generic Egypt/ Snow level all kart racers have.
Typical we only get concept art yet, tough. Guess we have to wait and see if the actual game can furfill the promise of that art.

Inb4 it's Chemical Plant again (they are right though)

Inb4 Forces is actually a "Frozen Junkyard" (lmao)

Nah, it's a cool concept, I wanted Infinite and illusions though, and yeah it seems they are doing everything instead of showing the actual game.

I see Eggman's determined to get his money's worth with those Death Egg mechs.

But I'm glad TSR is at least continuing its trend of making generic Zone tropes more unique. (Despite Seaside Hill tracks returning) Heck, Casino Forest and Sand/Green Hill could've been far more interesting here.
