Sonic Leak Thread

[verbal token]

i find the complainers really annoying too

[upbeat reef]

its just... horribly loud in the sonic fandom

its like some people have this unresolved repressed anger and hatred in their hearts and they take it out on whatever has a fucking pulse

[verbal token]

those people saying the game has ian writing now should be mugged irl and survive so they can worry and be mad about something important instead
like getting mugged

[verbal token]

couldn't have phrased it better yea

[upbeat reef]

it couldn't have been more apparent with lanolin who did NOTHING WRONG

yet people act like she's the bane of sonic iDW

[grave barn]

If lano was introduced earlier the backlash would definitely be less

[upbeat reef]

i hate that this is how it works because we cant be patient for a character to develop over time

[copper flame]

is there any wonder why i mostly ceased my interaction with sonic fandom lol

i think the only reason im so chill regarding new content in the series is because i mostly experience it on my own and then discuss it with my friends

[upbeat reef]

i just stopped following the subreddit a week ago because it just went on another petty ass drama again lol

[copper flame]

dont want to imagine how subreddits are like

[upbeat reef]

didnt even affect me leaving it. i was happy

i mostly followed for the art

[copper flame]

you once you left r/sonic_the_hedgehog

[upbeat reef]

always love seeing comments hating on lanolin for existing at like the bottom

[astral spear]

[astral spear]

Two radically different responses

[upbeat reef]

you two are so unfathomably unoriginal i could puke

keep it going

[heady cloud]

||BUT THEY REFERENCED SOMETHING. THE HORROR||

[grave barn]

The only thing I remember as I don't explore reddit often is the one time I did decide to check out the sonic one and one of the top posts was about lano's "change" in-between artists

[upbeat reef]

okay that one was funny

[long slate]

the first post on sonic retro about the leaks

the hate is unreal

[upbeat reef]

||UTTER NEEDLESS REWRITING OF HISTORY, AND ONE OF THE BETTER GAME STORIES TO BOOT, NO FUCKING WAY||

[copper flame]

||better game stories. funny joke||

[pallid bolt]

This smells like some star wars “fans” ngl

[copper flame]

this almost feels like a bot response to me

because i havent met a single human being who thought story in sonic generations was anything above average, if that

[upbeat reef]

||>UTTER NEEDLESS REWRITING OF HISTORY

ONE OF THE BETTER GAMES TO BOOT
UTTER NEEDLESS REWRITING OF HISTORY

[pallid bolt]

Sometimes they are

[frosty wraith]

while this may not be a leak, I found this interesting

[heady cloud]

This is serious???

[upbeat reef]

||This is either someone who's completely fucking sky high on nostalgia or a contrarian/troll||

[copper flame]

this is quite interesting

particularly comments on development

confirming that sonic team expanded and sega actually uses more diff teams

[frosty wraith]

||it's a troll. ain't no way he calls generations story as the best shit ever.||

[upbeat reef]

||LET ALONE CALLING IT BETTER????||

||They probably think Sonic Colors is like some masterpiece or something||

[long slate]

people are so angry wtf

[astral spear]

Remove the S

[upbeat reef]

Utterly needless

That's the key-word

[verbal token]

anyways doesn't seem like a troll
i wouldn't bother digging deeper in sonicretro

[verbal token]

i feel this will just give us a lot of liver damage reading further

[chilly gorge]

||i feel the biggest thing regarding the writing and stuff is that it's over goddamn generations||
||people really believe that all ian flynn makes now is family guy "boy this sure reminds me of..." moments||

[copper flame]

||lowkey people were praising the fuck out of sonic colors story at the time. maybe its the same crowd||

[upbeat reef]

||WHAT IS SONIC COLORS ABOUT???????||

||Saving aliens and their home planet from Eggman turning it into an amusement park, cool, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS IN IT||

[copper flame]

||i mean i dont think that colors has inherently bad premise its the writing that is underwhelming||

[pallid bolt]

Dont get one-guy’d everyone

[upbeat reef]

not to be that guy but...

[chilly gorge]

||i feel colors story only got the warm reception it did was due to the time period it came in||

[upbeat reef]

i'm that guy

[chilly gorge]

||i.e. when sonic was still up in flames due to 06||

[astral spear]

||Once apon a time, Sonic unleashed was underrated||

[upbeat reef]

i literally do not comprehend the thought process of these people

and whether theyre actual sonic fans or not

[upbeat reef]

||am i the only one||

[long slate]

these people really are the worst kind of fan isnt it?

[verbal token]

again, liver damage

[verbal token]

the star wars side is correct at least

[grave barn]

||and now it's overrated||

[long slate]

btw they have a six page, barely talking about leaks, still blaming IAN and using "preservation" as an excuse

[upbeat reef]

yep

its that kind of stuff

[verbal token]

preservatives is what they should have used before making these people

[upbeat reef]

https://tenor.com/view/mads-mikkelsen-smoking-gif-24232377

[verbal token]

anyways for the third time

i advice to not dig deeper in here or at least not share further

i feel everyone's given their opinion on this topic

[upbeat reef]

mhm

i totally anticipated it but did not anticipate the levels of stupidity

but ive seen it now

def just seems like bait the longer it goes

[verbal token]

no it feels genuine

[long slate]

that first post i share ||was from a moderator||

[pallid bolt]

again, don’t get one-guy’d

[verbal token]

bait is stuff you see on reddit with low commitment
if there's people still talking in forums they're genuine

[long slate]

not sharing the actual names, i think im gonna stop

[verbal token]

forum users wouldn't give any troll opinion knowing they're moderated all the time

(also what does one guy'd mean 😭)

[long slate]

just is weird how sonic retro is, like i remember in the 2000s reading that is was a cesspool of fans, then lates 2000s early 2010s is where i read that is where the most beloved hacks began to appear, in the late 2010s people began to say is where the sonic mania guys emerged from, and now 2020s is kinda a relic of the time and a cesspool of angry fans again

[verbal token]

it's almost like forums aren't collective hiveminds of the same opinion

and are instead areas with very segmented and varied groups of people

[hasty agate]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-leaving-patrick-star-mr-krabs-squidward-gif-22962728

[long slate]

anyways so ||i read they did tweak a little the time eater at the end of sonic campain but i cannot find any footage or evidence||

[hasty agate]

https://vxtwitter.com/silvernick5/status/1843699386297282688?s=46&t=0j55r8ziYjWjpNGdzoAjFQ

[pallid bolt]

It essentially means “don’t fall into disarray over one persons opinion, when they more likely than not do not reflect any real majority opinion.”

Its moreso streaming lingo, don’t think everyone in chat is after you just because you read one message that might be

[verbal token]

Oh gotcha
I visited the thread and there were many opinions echoing that tho

I don't watch much streams so that explains it

It sounded like brainrot no cap skibidi rizz

[frosty wraith]

||I played unleashed in the PS3 version. I liked the game but I understand why people don't like the werehog that much.||

[main plover]

I don't agree with this video but it is hilarious

[copper flame]

I LOVE HOW ROUGE SPEAKS IN THAT FUCKASS LEITMOTIF FROM 4KIDS SONIC X LMAO

[main plover]

I love how Team Chaotix don't even encourage Sonic, they just say random quotes

[upbeat reef]

AASDJDJDHDHDHDSHSGSF

[main plover]

||Honestly I hope the rewrite doesn't remove the "Enjoy your future! It's gonna be great!" line because every single person I have seen who clowns on it is so damn annoying||

||Yes, we get it! The games were bad, har-de-har-har!||

||Sonic himself still enjoyed those adventures, of course he would say that shit to Classic Sonic!||

||And we know at least some lines will be kept because Knuckles' dialogue still starts the same||

[long slate]

||Back in the day, that line was funny to make fun of||

[verbal token]

||now it's even funnier because santiago gets warped to forces in his future and that truly is a Bad Future||

||xtill kinda mad sonic cd didn't get a full level though||

||shadow should have had metallic madness...................................||

[astral spear]

||Metallic Madness is already in Mania so...nah.||

||Collision Chaos ||

||Or whacky workbench||

[frosty wraith]

more boss spoilers

[trail hamlet]

||Oh that’s||
||Kinda sad lol||

[valid rapids]

||fucked up||

||but also this guy is pure evil so lol||

[frosty wraith]

hold on

[long slate]

||he is a demon that wanted to erase existence, dont get sad for him lol||

[trail hamlet]

||Yeah he kinda had it coming tho||

[frosty wraith]

hold on shut up

do you guys sense that?

I sense something...

[long slate]

||its like the bully that does what he wanted and someone finally times him out and began to cry for simpaty||

[trail hamlet]

||Washed||

[grave barn]

||if only this was playable...||

[long slate]

||there is your boss fight||

[valid rapids]

||tbh reminder this boss fight is already in the game... its just in sonic's side||

[verbal token]

||but he doesn't say i'll use your t- Chaos, control!||

[long slate]

||sega just doesnt want people to beat up sonic in a game||

[astral spear]

https://tenor.com/view/gunnawritingthatheatlmao-gif-18603548

[earnest quail]

||I am a lil disappointed we don't get a rival fight against Sonic||

[trail hamlet]

||Oh I just noticed he tried to use his Doom Powers on him too||

[earnest quail]

||But also holy shit, this cutscene animation is actually good||

[grave barn]

||I wouldn't even mind if this was a forced loss situation I just want it to be playable||

[earnest quail]

||Same||

[astral spear]

||Do we think Mephiles will be voiced by Dan Green again||

[earnest quail]

||Nah||

[astral spear]

||I highly doubt it||

[long slate]

||sega just doesnt want people to beat up sonic in a game unless is "frendly competition"||

[grave barn]

||I mean if we're making this a forced loss situation there's a pretty obvious solution||

||just have all of shadows stuff just
Miss sonic or he dodges||

[frosty wraith]

||No.||

||Roger will do it cuz he now carrying the entire voice cast lmaooo||

[long slate]

||is a solution but i know alot of people HATE that|| ||like it works for story heavy games, but in a platformer a boss where after beating it the cutscene pllays and you lose is quite shunned alot||

[grave barn]

||that's the thing
You don't beat it in the solution I brought up
The fight ends when sonic lands the final hit on the player
Make us feel like we're the boss fight against sonic and losing||

[frosty wraith]

||just do what they did in Partners in Time||

||you fight some shroobs and the fight automatically ends with you getting defeated||

[main plover]

||Honestly I see why they didn't make a Sonic battle||

[copper flame]

||lowkey i think they didnt make it in order to avoid the issue adventure games had where the character boss fights were very repetitive across campaigns||

[main plover]

||It would take up devtime and budget that could be used on another boss like Mephiles, Biolizard or Metal Overlord for what would be functionally identical to another battle in the same game||

[copper flame]

||yeah. might be an incentive for players who havent played generations to play it in order to get that side of the story (even if its not very exciting)||

[frosty wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-laughing-laugh-gif-26377590

[heady cloud]

||is this someone pretending to be a leaker or just someone's predictions?||

[frosty wraith]

||they said they got this from a source||

[heady cloud]

||his uncle that works at sega?||

[chilly gorge]

||another thing is that if it's effectively the same rival fight except you are forced to lose, then that means you're playing it on a (subjectively) inferior engine, which would suck for people who are critical about that||

[heady cloud]

||lmao they also said it would have 9 zones||

[copper flame]

||engine isnt inferior its just not built for the thing that generations was going for, which is why thankfully shadow generations has its own direction in gameplay||

||but its also probs why they avoided including it||

[main plover]

||"Hi guys it's me! Leaker McInsider here and I have a big one for you! Look at this image for a cryptic and totally real hint at the next Sonic game, just trust me!"||

[heady cloud]

||SONIC LABYRINTH REMAKE LET'S GOOOOOOO||

[main plover]

||A remake, no.
SONIC LABYRINTH 2 BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY||

ANYWAYS

||I really hope my only problems with the rewrite stay as "It honestly made more sense for them to forget Chemical Plant than for them to remember it" and "The lipsyncing is weird"||

||I have faith in Ian Flynn here
I don't always do but I do most of the time, including here||

[random latch]

|| I have full faith in him sure he might not be perfect as a writers but his lows are mids at worst he is exactly what we needed all this time and he can still get better||

[frosty wraith]

OOOO GUUUYS!!!

MORE LEAAAKS!!!

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FIWfGHEI44||

[astral spear]

8 second clip

[frosty wraith]

boo

[trail hamlet]

||The hole||

[frosty wraith]

||the very same hole where this bastard came from||

[main plover]

||Ok but seriously why can't somebody leak the damn music||

||At LEAST leak if there's unlockable music in Shadow's campaign like in the Original Generations||

||And if there are then leak the list||

||All I heard from anyone music-wise is that Space Colony ARK Act 2 sounds REALLY good||

[main plover]

Anyways

||I have seen a lot of people acting like the rewrite will miraculously make Generations a perfect and great story but.... not really?||
||The actual story will still be basically identical, this only really fixes characterisation, which wasn't something Generations struggled with too much anyways imo||

||(Outside of the "You got this, Sonic" scene, but they didn't have a lot of options, it's not like they could just make every single character playable out of nowhere)||

[earnest quail]

||At the end of the day, the rewrite, while ultimately pointless and poorly synced with the animation, doesn't do anything to change the story. It doesn't push the needle in either direction because there was only so much that could've been done with Generations' story. It's a net positive that makes the characters slightly less stupid, but there's still nothing to care about, and under this context that's totally fine.||

[main plover]

||I don't care too much either way but I feel they should have done some small animation changes to go along with it||

[earnest quail]

||Yeah, all they did was add lip flapping to Sonic in the white space cutscenes where he originally didn't talk||

[main plover]

||If I go exclusively by the actual script i'll probably prefer the new one but going with both visuals and sound I might prefer the original in the end||

||We'll have to see||

[frosty wraith]

h u h ?

[earnest quail]

He's disappointed by it being capped at 60fps

[frosty wraith]

Throw him rocks.

[earnest quail]

Bit of a weird thing to be disappointed by, but okay...

[main plover]

Hasn't Premydaremy gotten annoying recently?
I heard that from some people

[frosty wraith]

yes.

[earnest quail]

He's the same as usual

[frosty wraith]

||complained that infinite has been confirmed that doesn't appear||

[earnest quail]

That being said, he has been using AI thumbnails more as of late, which... yeah.

[verbal token]

||i think people are just happy the game got edited to begin with||
||i know i am||

||was expecting only the shadow side to bring some things of interest but i'm happy they basically took the opportunity to even edit the game in small ways like this||

||like... it sounded more like a 3d world type situation, but it feels odd for them trying to address small things, it's something i like||

[main plover]

||I mean outside of the thing with Sonic not talking to the rescued characters this won't fix any problems with the original story though||

[verbal token]

||i mean within their limitations i still find this a good enough effort||

[main plover]

||Even then I don't personally feel there were problems with the original story anyways but||

[verbal token]

||idk if there are people who genuinely think the story events will improve or be edited radically, but they addressed a common nitpick and i'm thankful for that||

||because they totally could have gotten away with keeping it unchanged and not bother with any synergy with the shadow side's tone||

||i wonder if it's sticking closer to the japanese script which the pontaff team rewrote in 2011||

||haven't heard any opinions of it being a more faithful retranslation||

[main plover]

||I feel not having synergy between the tones would be more fun personally||

||Shows the differences between Sonic and Shadow very well||

[verbal token]

||i guess||

||tbh i was mentally prepared for a lot of tonal whiplash with this release||

||i think any genuine complaints from me will be if somebody beyond tails makes a deep cut reference to a location's name, i think the new line with chemical plant works because only tails would be nerdy enough to keep track of zone names||

||which was my main issue with frontiers' lines with sonic, he doesn't seem the type of guy to really care to memorize the name of places he's been to||

[main plover]

||My main worry is how they're gonna handle some of the shorter character rescue animations personally||

[verbal token]

||if it's on the verge as amy's i feel we might be fine||

[main plover]

||Sonic's animation for Cream in the original is literally 2 seconds of him doing a thumbs up, idk how they'll give that dialogue||

||I doubt we'll get many more Generations rewrite things leaked until the rom leaks so we'll have to wait and see||

[heady cloud]

||most people i see are saying it will kill their grandma lmao||

[hasty agate]

https://tenor.com/view/sponge-bob-square-pants-sponge-bob-mr-krabs-squidward-patrick-star-gif-4436055

[vernal oracle]

i mean

he's like not wrong to be disappointed by a 60fps cap

but we gotta make dumb clickbait nonsense on a minor issue

cause we love metagaming youtube

[heady cloud]

||https://fxtwitter.com/MSROPls/status/1845512416794165479||

[verbal token]

oh god
so cursed seeing him recite such a classic line

i like that 😭

[trail hamlet]

||I like how Sonic's just fucking with him||

[main plover]

||I like how this cutscene plays City Escape Act 1||

||Anyways even though I like this cutscene it is also exactly what people make fun of Ian for||

[copper flame]

man the cutscene direction and animation has improved so much its crazy

[heady cloud]

Just checked while i was pre-orderinf the game
The digital deluxe version has extra music i think this confirms shadow will have it, unless it's all for the regular mode
||Can't wait to fight black doom while listening to race to win!!!!||

[main plover]

||God I wish I can fight Black Doom while listening to A New Venture||

[tiny fiber]

||cutscene's good but the reference is a wee bit too on the nose||

[heady cloud]

||and i do not know what that reference was lmao. Just sounded like regular dialogue to me||

[copper flame]

yeah

||i feel like a fake fan for not getting the reference. i thought its gonna be redone faker dialogue but no||

[main plover]

||It is still redone faker dialogue
It's just that because Sonic now knows who Shadow is more properly he knows he's not a "faker"||

||Shadow's response is also basically identical to the original cutscene||

[copper flame]

i honest to god didnt realize

||idk if this is too on the nose.||

||i usually pick up ian's "obvious" references immediately too||

[main plover]

||Honestly I respect how Roger actually seems to imitate the original delivery of the line||

[frosty wraith]

Chaos Island

[main plover]

||Why is such shitty music edited on to it?||

[long slate]

||can you destroy the pinball table?||

[main plover]

||And more imporantly, what's that other video in the background?||

[frosty wraith]

||idk||

Anyways Mephiles spoilers

[frosty wraith]

Bear.

||That's literally what it is, a bear video.||

[main plover]

||More standard Radical Highway is in the game||

||https://vxtwitter.com/MSROPls/status/1845573388129235115||

[trail hamlet]

||Shadow: "That monster has brought me to places I recognize from the past. But I have no idea what this place is. No matter, I’ll find answers once I get out of here.||

||The nefarious background ursine:||

||I really appreciate how genuinely annoying the dude posting these videos is being too lmao||

[main plover]

||Random thought but you guys know Egg Springs right?
Would be kinda funny if Space Colony ARK had Gerald Springs||

[frosty wraith]

||Gerald if he was an actual intelligent person: adds egg springs on the hallways to prevent GUN's soldiers from killing||

[main plover]

||You get it||

[earnest quail]

||Btw I haven't mentioned it much yet||

||But that clip of Chaos Island looks really promising level designwise||

[main plover]

||Yeah level design looks awesome||

||The lack of enemies feels really weird though||

[frosty wraith]

Dude is really getting annoyed lmao

[earnest quail]

||If I had to guess, this is the first time we'll use this Doom Power in a stage||

[copper flame]

https://fxtwitter.com/SAAC_News/status/1845469016304898163

seems like this claim will be true.

which also means

[earnest quail]

||So they're prolly trying to ease us into it||

[copper flame]

we're so back, after all

[main plover]

||The low amount of enemies for a stage based on a game where the main focus is combat still feels odd though||

[copper flame]

||i mean these stages tend to be pretty long so it might get a bit more combat heavy later on||

[main plover]

||Maybe||

||But also the only enemies for Chaos Island are apparently just Soldier and Cyclone anyways||

||Which is weird btw the original area also had Eagle||

[long slate]

||also enemies in a boost 3d sonic game doesnt do alot tbh, like they are just there to be boosted to oblivion||

[main plover]

||Yeah but visual variety is fun and destroying enemies is even more fun||

[verbal token]

i love this shading

[verbal token]

||more thanshadow 2005??????????? ||

[astral spear]

That ain't ||Dan Green||

[trail hamlet]

||That def ain't Dan Green lmao||

[astral spear]

||Is it...roger?||

[copper flame]

gonna skip the boss fight but im curious about act 2

[frosty wraith]

||Roger fucking carrying the entire voice cast dude||

what the fuck

[long slate]

[copper flame]

act 2 looks actually sick

More Sunset Heights Act 2

[trail hamlet]

||Damn the visuals look good as hell omg||

[copper flame]

||the rain, the background setpiece||

i think

we're very back

i think we're so fucking back

they even change camera angles again a bit!

[frosty wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/kamelot-peak-music-roy-khan-dies-from-peak-gif-3986880124004643816

[heady cloud]

||AURJEOEKDMDDB. I NEED THIS GAME||

[earnest quail]

||2D actually looks pretty fun here||

[trail hamlet]

||Ignoring the bear Chaos Island looks sick man||

[heady cloud]

||I already liked forces and they made sunset heights even better!!!!||

[earnest quail]

||It's not slow as molasses like in Frontiers||

[frosty wraith]

||please tell me this act takes place entirely in the sewers||

[copper flame]

see told you

[earnest quail]

||That alone is a godsend||

[frosty wraith]

||cuz it looks so fucking good||

[copper flame]

they would fix the speed

god

this game is gonna be so fucking good

[earnest quail]

||Not entirely, but it seems like you'll spend a good amount of time there||

[copper flame]

AND THE CAMERA ANGLES... that was like my biggest gripe with 2d levels in recent games

its not so flat anymore

[frosty wraith]

remember how sunset heights beta stages had that camera angle when you entered the 2d section?

[copper flame]

yeah

they are finally realizing it

in earnest

im just glad that 2d acts arent phoned in and seem to have just as much effort and polish as 3d stuff.

[earnest quail]

I was genuinely worried that the 2D acts would suck ass

And that there would only be, like, 6 acts worth of fun gameplay

Glad I was wrong

Now there's around 12 acts of fun gameplay!

[copper flame]

oh yeah do we know if tokyo will have 2 acts or just one

well 13-14 acts of fun gameplay await us

[earnest quail]

I'm almost certain it'll only be 1

[copper flame]

plus missions

[frosty wraith]

i dont think the xbox leak includes the tokyo files cuz y'know...

its a dlc.

[copper flame]

yeah obviously

[earnest quail]

Yeah, but like, missions are the thing I care least about

I had very little interest to replay them in Sonic Gens

[copper flame]

see, consider this

[earnest quail]

Doubt this'll be very different

[copper flame]

gens has no story

this game has story

so if there's character involved

there will probably be more fun writing

so that alone has my interest

[earnest quail]

Also what little we've heard of Sunset Heights Act 2 sounds really good

Also small detail, but ||I really like how they brought back the multi homing attack from Shadow's stages in Forces for Sunset Heights||

[copper flame]

can i just say that this looks sick

[earnest quail]

It really does

Shame the image is fucking 140p

[copper flame]

its ok we need to wait just a wee bit longer before we can experience it for ourselves

[frosty wraith]

Switch version leaks

[copper flame]

i have hacked switch so like

ill just play it then

[astral spear]

Yeah how long has this game been leaking and
No dumps

We got a pokemon teraleak first, that's really funny

[copper flame]

its because its not a switch version that was leaking

but allegedly a steam review copy

[astral spear]

Hm
So it's one guy?

[copper flame]

but i have no doubt in my mind that the mere second the cartridge will be available for dumping, people will go for it

yeah probs

but tbh no clue

its just what i heard

people are "finding them" so like idk

[frosty wraith]

well...

we have to discover his steam account and password.

[main plover]

||Holy shit those are Galaga Bees in the Sunset Heights act 2 footage
I gotta update my image||

||And yes the enemy is literally called "Galaga Bee", idk how they never got Namco on their asses for it||

||The grind never stops||

||Honestly between Galaga Bee and Egg Tank Sunset Heights might actually be THE most enemy-focused stage in the game||

||How ironic that the game people think enemies sucked in has the most platforming-focused enemies||

||Also it kinda sucks how both acts seemingly arrange the same song for the music||

||Unless they mysteriously only used Sunset Heights for Act 2 for no reason||

||Is it just me or does the Egg Tank enemy look a little different||

||Of course seeing them from the same angle would help but idk||

[verbal token]

||looks identical to me, beyond the better metal texture||

[main plover]

||It's almost definitely just the perspective messing with me by making the "nose" look smaller on the original||

||All I personally have left is to get the music of every stage||

[heady cloud]

Same
sega should've also given switch players early acces. I want to legally play it 3 days early

[main plover]

I don't get why Switch players don't get early access honestly

Is it some weird eShop TOS thing??

[tiny fiber]

||peak music holy shiiiiiii||

[heady cloud]

No, i think colors ultimate and monkey ball banana mania had it

It"s likelt because they didn't want the game to leak(it's going to anyways because of physical copies)

[main plover]

Either way being able to play the full game 3 days earlier would make it available to people early anyways

[frosty wraith]

y'know

since we getting a sunset heights remix...

are we getting remixes for the other stages that take place in the city?

[heady cloud]

I just want a remix of sand sanctuary or any r music(can't remember if the original had any. Also would prefer if it wasn't super sonic racing)

[main plover]

||We got Act 2 footage and it seems to play another remix of Sunset Heights||
||Either that or Act 1 plays something else||

[main plover]

No leaks.

[long slate]

btw ||does chaos island has something to do with shadow at the end? or is just there because frontiers is the latests game in the series?||

[copper flame]

i believe they straight up confirmed in an interview that it has nothing to do with shadow specifically its just black doom's shenanigans in-universe.

[long slate]

||no new lore or something else aside in-universe "black doom shenanigans" and "we just get to reuse assets" ?||

[copper flame]

||i mean i guess if there is some lore we will learn in-game, but it's not specifically related to shadow himself||

[long slate]

||ok ok, also there is super shadow?||

[copper flame]

idk tbh

||i dont think i wanna know until the game comes out lol||

[long slate]

||well this is the leak thread for shadow this is why im asking lol||

[main plover]

||Not a leak but i'm guessing no Super Shadow because Sonic has the Chaos Emeralds||

[heady cloud]

||Didn't shadow say he gave sonic a fake emerald until he was done||

[main plover]

||I thought Shadow said Sonic took the real emerald while Shadow kept the fake
either way 1 Chaos Emerald isn't enough||

[frosty wraith]

||Shadow finds a fake emerald in the ARK and takes it. He would later encounter Sonic and fight until Sonic defeats him and mistakenly takes the fake emerald. Sonic later confronts Shadow to give him the real emerald, but Shadow says he will give him the emerald once he's done with Black Doom.||

[astral spear]

Going back to this ||i see that it is Mephiles' 2nd phase that will be remixed at least. I wonder if they can come close to the original.||

[frosty wraith]

OH SHIT THEY DELETED THE ACCOUNT

[tiny fiber]

sega found them 😔

Mephiles showed up and killed them

[heady cloud]

Where did you find this?

[frosty wraith]

...

4chan.

yeah, i decided to explore that shit for once instead of seeing the greentext and all that stuff that i see on youtube and twitter

didn't like it.

[valid rapids]

mfw

[tiny fiber]

||is maria 2d or 3d? i legit can't tell 🙃||

[frosty wraith]

||pretty sure its 3d||

[tiny fiber]

||huh||

[verbal token]

||depends on what dimensions ghosts count at||

[heady cloud]

||https://fxtwitter.com/MSROPls/status/1846007504586563905||

[long slate]

||i thought it was like 2 act per zone and each one is 1 3d 1 2d||

[verbal token]

holy... ||it has 73 dlevels and 52 dlevels? awesome!||

[frosty wraith]

||12 levels??||

[long slate]

||the normal campain has 18 lvs, so its like 2/3 of the original campain lenght which is fine tbh||

[earnest quail]

||See, I would agree under most circumstances||

||Just one problem: 2/3s of Sonic Gens||

||Is 2 hours long||

||Yeeeaahhh, this is why Imma be waiting for a sale||

||Even if it's 2 hours of high quality platforming, I don't wanna spend $50 on that||

||If you're a newcomer who's never played Sonic Gens before, then it's a great purchase even at $50||

||But as someone who's replayed Sonic Gens to death? Not so much||

[long slate]

||i mean it has alot of side missions too iirc, also i would just to support the game, like, vote with your wallet" this is what i would want sonic to continue be, high quality multipath platform||

[earnest quail]

||"Vote with your wallet" doesn't make sense when I feel it isn't worth it under my circumstances||

||Again, this would come highly recommended to people who are getting into the series||

||But I myself would not be getting a full $50 of value out of it, hence why I'm waiting for a sale||

[upbeat reef]

Biggest mistake you could make

||ANDJJDDNFHSHHDHDBDHDHD INFINITE IS STILL NOT IN THE GAME||

||BROTHERS NOT GETTING A SINGLE CHANCE||

[main plover]

||How is Terios Knuckles???||

||Does he reuse Knuckles' animations from Frontiers?||

[copper flame]

||I assume in terms of gameplay||

[copper flame]

||so two of the second acts is 3D||

Interesting

I wonder Which levels

[heady cloud]

||1, not 2||

[copper flame]

Oh wait

Yeah

Cannot read

||we already know that both chaos island and sunset heights have 2d acts||

||so imma guess it's either bullet station or kingdom valley||

[main plover]

||I think I briefly saw a screenshot of 2D Kingdom Valley||

||So probably Rail Canyon because of grinding just not being fun in 2D||

[heady cloud]

||it's fun in the advance series, the rush games, colors ds and superstars ||

[copper flame]

||okay but if it's the only or the main thing in the level, it will get tiring quick||

[main plover]

I'm betting the rom leaks by the end of the week.

[earnest quail]

Friday for sure

[copper flame]

once this happens you can await a thorough report from me

[main plover]

Awesome

||Anyways in retrospect this leaked image should have made Terios' quill shape obvious ||

||idk how I didn't notice||

[frosty wraith]

ohhh shit

someone really has the game after all

[main plover]

THIS MF HAS FNAF WORLD

KILL HIM

[valid rapids]

lmao

look at the game above sonadow in his library

[frosty wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/nba-gif-15687325833433865178

[main plover]

Also gotta love how OG Generations is seemingly in the FNAF folder

[frosty wraith]

that ain't right.

[valid rapids]

yea

also smash bros folder lol

[main plover]

Oh this is probably not a real image lmao

[frosty wraith]

i have been fooled

[main plover]

OH ALSO THE "XBOX 360 versions of PC games" folder

Which wouldn't make sense to have on a PC

Almost definitely a joke edit

[frosty wraith]

just been trying to find if there was any leak today

seems like there's not

[main plover]

Leaks are slowing down now

But they'll almost definitely speed up again in a few days when the switch rom inevitably leaks

[frosty wraith]

ight

lets predict in what day they leak the switch version

[copper flame]

my thirst for leaks almost sufficed now that i know that 2d acts are gonna be good

[main plover]

As I said earlier i'm betting it's gonna leak by the weekend

And i'm serious here I have the money and i'm a gambling man

[trail hamlet]

OMG
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT
THEY ACTUALLY HAVE FNAF WORLD

[main plover]

I actually have FNAF World, yet my account was made multiple years after it was taken down

I won't explain how

[heady cloud]

||https://fxtwitter.com/MSROPls/status/1846296104146444605||

||Please tell me this has at least 10 layers of compression and it's not what shadow actually looks like on switch||

[copper flame]

i mean fps is definitely the case of compression

visuals look fine

[frosty wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/fortnite-fish-cool-swag-pog-gif-23171941

[main plover]

Can those 4chan people leak it faster I don't like waiting

[frosty wraith]

i will take a risk and try to find it

[main plover]

Be careful! It's 4chan!

[frosty wraith]

99% chance of getting unpleasant shit

1% chance of actually getting it

[main plover]

My dad tried to make me create a 4chan account once
It wasn't a good conversation.

[frosty wraith]

"No, you can't."

What do you mean you can't?

"It's just not."

[main plover]

He tried to say "Oh but it's all anonymous!" as if that's a good thing

He's like 50 how did he even learn about 4chan

Anyways

All I NEED to know is if there's unlockable music in Shadow's campaign like the original Generations, the moment we get to know for sure somebody needs to @ me
Even if it's on release that we learn I gotta know

[frosty wraith]

im in

[copper flame]

i checked my usual sources the game isnt there yet. if its dumped its not widely public atm

[main plover]

!

[frosty wraith]

thread is full of latinas

THERE'S SO MUCH LATINAS

[main plover]

Shadow fans have 1 joke

[grave barn]

2

Let's not forget about shooting maria

[main plover]

Ooooh right

And sometimes I hear them say "I'm the coolest" so add that to the count

Anyways we gotta keep track of the ongoing infiltration of 4chan going on
Gotta get in, get the rom, get out and then post about it without actually sharing due to being against server rules

[valid rapids]

so what are the zones again?

||Space Colony Ark, Radical Highway, Bullet Station, Kingdom Valley, Sunset Heights and Chaos Island?||

[frosty wraith]

yeah.

[valid rapids]

and some of them turn into westopolis sometimes right

[main plover]

||Yeah but Bullet Station is actually Rail Canyon iirc||

[main plover]

||And Radical Highway||

[valid rapids]

||does radical highway turn into radical highway||

[frosty wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-laughing-laugh-gif-26377590

[main plover]

||Well no but other levels do||

[trail hamlet]

Pokémon fans during the leak.

[main plover]

WoAOAOAOAOOAOAOOOAOOAOOAOH STORY OF SHADOW HEDGE

[frosty wraith]

bullet station gameplay

[chilly gorge]

||guys if you look real closely, the name "Radical Highway" actually can be rearranged into "Green Hill Zone", in Shadownese ||
||don't let them know though this is top secret||

[valid rapids]

i love black doom's warp stuff but i kinda hope it doesnt take too much out of the stages

[main plover]

||Why is it always Radical Highway||

[valid rapids]

i like how its at ||day tho||

we never saw it like this before

[main plover]

||That shit better be the final stage at this point so there's at least buildup||

[verbal token]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-skyla-helmet-gif-20488479

[main plover]

Now I have to wonder
||Does every stage have Radical Highway in 1 of the 2 acts????????||

[earnest quail]

||That would be... kinda annoying if I'm being honest||

[main plover]

||Yes, yes it would||

||But i'm getting scared of that being correct||

[earnest quail]

||Btw where is this footage coming from||

[main plover]

||4chan I think||

[grave barn]

||NOOOOO I don't want to go baaaaaack||

[main plover]

||6 stages, 1 of which is 100% Radical Highway, then 3 that we know transition into it, then 2 that we don't know for yet||

||MAJORITY OF THIS GAME IS RADICAL HIGHWAY||

[earnest quail]

||Now I wanna find the 4chan page this is all coming from||

[earnest quail]

||They fucked it up in a way nobody could predict||

[copper flame]

||shadow generations? more like radical highway generations||

[earnest quail]

||That is actually impressive||

[copper flame]

uh

[earnest quail]

||...AND ALSO FUCKING DEPRESSING, WE WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE||

[copper flame]

jumping to conclusions here a little bit innit

[main plover]

||Those Radical Highway sections better be fucking awesome ||

[earnest quail]

||Let's go through the list:||

[copper flame]

no i mean, i dont really care if its in every level. i just dont get how this means that the whole game is fucked up.

like this is some insane logic here

[main plover]

||We aren't saying that, we're just saying they still fucked something up
Fucking 1 thing up won't ruin the game||

[copper flame]

no kirb straight up says that tho lol

maybe you dont

[frosty wraith]

||owner of the switch version says their switch isn't modded so uhhh...||

||yeah, we aint getting that file soon||

[grave barn]

||well fucking up gameplay would probably ruin a game||

[copper flame]

we will see if its something worth criticizing when we'll play it

[earnest quail]

||We have 6 zones
One of them is Radical Highway so that's 17% of the stages
Three of which have an act that ends with Radical Highway, so that's another 13% of the game, give or take
That means a guaranteed 30% of the stages here are fucking Radical Highway||

[copper flame]

maybe for the best, but it also means that the game is floating around in the shops

[main plover]

||Guy who leaked Mario Party said the same thing then dropped the rom the next day||

[copper flame]

so its a matter of time at this point

[earnest quail]

||And if the other two zones have acts that also end with Radical Highway, that's ANOTHER 8%||

||So there is a potential worst case scenario||

||Where 38% of the game is fucking Radical Highway||

||Are you seeing how problematic that distribution would be?||

[frosty wraith]

WE NEED TO FIND IT

NOW.

[rich knoll]

||should've been 50%||

[astral spear]

Where are you pulling percentages from

[copper flame]

i still think this is overreaction

[earnest quail]

||Did the math||

[copper flame]

we dont know how much these actions are in relation to the main level

except for the ark level but its the only one we fully saw

[earnest quail]

||6 zones, divide 100 by 6 and each zone is 17% of the game||

||One of those zones is Radical Highway||

||Three of them are guaranteed to have an act end with it, so approximately 1/4th of the zone||

[frosty wraith]

ohhhhhh!!!

[copper flame]

holy shit

[earnest quail]

||17 divided by 4 is around 4%||

[astral spear]

||6 zones not including overworld and bosses ||

[earnest quail]

OH SHIT

GIVE ME THE PAGE

NOW

[frosty wraith]

fine

[main plover]

||Oh hell yeah he can have emotions again||

[earnest quail]

||Yes, I know, but I'm talking about the core boost gameplay and the spread of level themes in those||

[astral spear]

[earnest quail]

||Of which, Radical Highway will make up 30% - 38% of the gameplay in the stages||

[main plover]

||I will say I don't particularly understand WHY so much of it is Radical Highway||

[frosty wraith]

HELL YEAH!!!

[main plover]

||OH WE WATCHING THAT CHILD GET SHOT IN CRISP 4K||

[copper flame]

||considering levels are massive in of in themselves i dont think that radical highway sections will feel like they overshadow majority of them. like we literally havent seen a single level with them outside of space colony ark in full. and ark's section is brief, 1 minute vs 4 minutes of uninterrupted ark gameplay.||

[copper flame]

||yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah shadow gets retraumatized!!!!!!!!!!||

[valid rapids]

||yea i think we good||

[astral spear]

||We've re-explored Maria's death so much this year to the point where I'm actually becoming uncomfortable over it. Like...fuck.||

[copper flame]

||difference is that this time it will likely actually be devastating if we get to explore her character more||

[hasty agate]

AINT NO WAY WE ARE BACK

[astral spear]

||Dark Beginnings. Shadow Manga. Sonic X Shadow...and then the movie in december||

[copper flame]

||like previously this moment felt like more of a shock value and to establish shadow's tragic past, now it has the potential to be an actual tearjerker||

[valid rapids]

do the ||highways all have different looks? like, in the ark its all redish but in rail canyon its daylight||

[copper flame]

yeah

[main plover]

||If Maria actually becomes more than a plot device there's a chance the jokes stop||

[valid rapids]

oh thats great

[copper flame]

i mean

we saw that in the official footage

some of them have different gimmicks like one is full of water whirpools

tho its kinda hard to say which ones are, maybe missions, and which are part of the levels

[valid rapids]

||oh i think we good then||

||it did not seem intrusive in the ark so||

[main plover]

||Oh god if there are any missions in the Radical Highway sections i'll be sad||

[copper flame]

||sadly i dont think it will stop the jokes, people will just change the joke to overplaying how emotional this game is||

||kinda like kirby fans overplayed "kirby lore is so dark and fucked up" card||

[valid rapids]

speaking of kirby

we got 6 zones each with sections in another world that looks kinda samey

[heady cloud]

||this also is switch footage and looks A LOT better||

[valid rapids]

is radical highway just this game's equivalent of another dimension

except its mandatory (tho lets be real who the hell skipped the another dimension sections)

[frosty wraith]

guys...

We fucking suffering again.

||THERE IS A FINAL LEVLE???||

THERE IS A WHAT

[heady cloud]

||the mario party janboree guy also said the same thing, but he dumped it anyways||

[earnest quail]

https://tenor.com/view/did-we-just-win-did-we-just-lose-starlord-endgame-chris-pratt-gif-24585744

[copper flame]

||FINAL PROPER LEVEL???? GUYS||

WE MIGHT BE SO WINNING

[main plover]

||Were all the leakers just lying by not sharing the final level or is Radical Highway the final level||

[earnest quail]

||Bro||

[frosty wraith]

||they didn't say anything about the final level, other than answering someone's question if the last level was a gauntlet||

[copper flame]

holy shit

[earnest quail]

||If we get a full 10 minute long final gauntlet,||

||We won||

[copper flame]

we will see i guess

[main plover]

||I feel Radical Highway might be the final level and instead of transitioning to Radical Highway it transitions to all the other levels||

[copper flame]

but ||the leak that established amount of zones listed them in an order fans assumed so||

either that person was bullshitting

[frosty wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/barack-obama-gif-14713645611577259969

[copper flame]

or they were hiding shit

but either way

we're gonna be eating good

[main plover]

||Might have not been listed in level order||

[copper flame]

also the fact that the switch port looks as good as it is

its genuinely made me happy even tho i had faith

since forces port was good

[main plover]

||I actually saw 1 guy say the level order was weird so||

[earnest quail]

Ehh, it looks fine

[copper flame]

i mean obviously it wont have the fidelity of ps5

[earnest quail]

||Might be some Forces type shit||

[copper flame]

but it doesnt look that compromised

[earnest quail]

||Where you do acts in really random orders||

[copper flame]

hmm

[heady cloud]

||Or because it's an open world you play them in any order besides the final one||

[main plover]

||tbf they weren't "acts" in Forces||

[copper flame]

||i mean, either way, im just glad that the chaos island isnt the final level and whatever the final level is its more thematically appropriate||

[earnest quail]

||So like, you start with Space Colony Arc Act 1, then go to Kingdom Valley Act 1, then Bullet Station Act 2, then Chaos Island Act 2, back to Space Colony Act 2, you get my point||

[main plover]

||That's just dumb||

[earnest quail]

It would be

But who knows

[copper flame]

i doubt it

there is a story through line with actually animated cutscenes after all

not like forces where its just a bunch of talking heads

[main plover]

||I also heard boss keys are back and everything so that implies a specific structure||

[copper flame]

also it seems to me like progression is tied to doom powers shadow acquires so unless the way we get them is non-linear

the order is probably closer to how they were revealed officially

[earnest quail]

Okay but this would be the best case scenario

[copper flame]

i mean itd be cool

either the order is linear but it makes sense

or its just completely non linear

and there are key story events tied to how much we progressed

[frosty wraith]

||also emerl doesn't appear||

[copper flame]

rip

[earnest quail]

Unsurprised

[frosty wraith]

||not surprising since xbox files didn't had any indication of emerl||

[main plover]

As expected from all the other leaks

[astral spear]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-sad-tear-cry-batman-the-animated-series-gif-27307833

The last of my copium

[copper flame]

||im fine with this since we have mephiles instead and thats objectively cooler||

[main plover]

Please somebody has to know if there's unlockable music (and if they added extras to Sonic's campaign)

||ngl was hoping to see super shadow again||

[copper flame]

tbh ||the fact that they managed to make raw finale without super forms is even cooler||

because uh

there wasnt one like this yet LOL

2010s games sure didnt manage to have one

[earnest quail]

I think Colors has a really good final boss

[copper flame]

its not bad but its not raw

[long slate]

yeah

is was a good eggman final boss that didnt involve super sonic

[earnest quail]

Gens 3DS also had a surprisingly great final boss

[long slate]

yeah gens 3ds final boss is good

[earnest quail]

Uhh... das about it

[tiny fiber]

||who needs the chaos emeralds when you can beat the shit out of the bad guy with his own powers||

[long slate]

||shadow has too many powerups im kinda curious what is the difference between super shadow, doom powers and the rings inhibitors things||

[copper flame]

well usually super forms dont really add new powers they just enhance ones you have

like super sayian basically. you are the same just way stronger

[valid rapids]

||oh actually, what if he takes the inhibitors off again||

[copper flame]

ig one power it gives is flying

not that shadow could fly without his doom wings so lol

[copper flame]

||did he ever do that in games||

[valid rapids]

no

only in cutscene

[copper flame]

thats a thing that was made up for sonic x originally

[copper flame]

Lmaoo

[main plover]

He can at least hover though
It's the first real thing he does when he's freed in SA2

And actually when he boosts in Forces he kinda just
Hovers slightly above the ground (I think he reuses the Super Sonic animation lmao)

Anyways i'm going to sleep @ me if anything REALLY big leaks

||FOUND THE VERY THING YOU'VE SEARCHED FOR SOOO LOOOONGGGGG||

||ALL HAIL SHADOOOOW!||

[main plover]

||Wait so if that's just Devil Doom that still leaves us with NEO Devil Doom||

[main plover]

||Honestly I would remix Never Turn Back I like that song more||

[chilly gorge]

||that would be a super remix then since NTB is kinda too upbeat imo||

[astral spear]

Hiiiii Rouge

[frosty wraith]

shhhhh

i got something else

||red gate bridge doesn't appear to be a level in the game, despite taking place in the same zone as the other city levels in forces||

[heady cloud]

||maria got a good 3d model!!!! She finally isn't a sleep paralysis demon!!!||

[long slate]

||i dont know how to feel about gerald being there, since the jerk wanted to destroy the world in SA2, and specially if is a time travel story, i think he would use this knowlegw to avoid any catastrophy or something||

[frosty wraith]

ending spoiler (i think)

FUCK!

[long slate]

||i mean, is just like generations, only the eggmen bosses matter ||

[grave barn]

||given how maria seems to be fading away
Yeah it's probably from the ending||

[long slate]

||I Can see why they gave batman to shadow||

[frosty wraith]

||i love this trend for sonic of the animated shorts having crucial elements that the games doesnt have /s||

[upbeat reef]

FNAF world is peak...

[main plover]

||Honestly i'm betting Radical Highway is the final stage, if it isn't I will cut off my leg and send it to SEGA HQ||

||It simply makes no sense to have a level theme early on only to revisit it multiple times later, that's just not how game design works.||

[heady cloud]

||it's the secret 7th level!!!(Lies)||

[earnest quail]

||Honestly this adds up with that cutscene in the story trailer||

||Where winged Shadow flies over to that weird ass Doom spiraling structure... thing||

||That scene was in Radical Highway||

[humble prism]

||How have we had the ending leak but not any of the music yet lmao||

[astral spear]

Because no ROM to dump the music with

[main plover]

I feel music HAS to be next

[copper flame]

once rom gets dumped youll probably hear it

[astral spear]

(Final Boss) ||I need All Hail Shadow in my VEINS||

[frosty wraith]

guys...

[main plover]

?

[astral spear]

Hm?

[frosty wraith]

We need to go to the Hedgehog Engine Modding server now!!!

[astral spear]

Hi Mephiles

[frosty wraith]

4chan if you ask where I got the image

[astral spear]

Its a modding server, no way they don't have a modded switch

For that copy

[earnest quail]

OH SHIT

LET ME SEE IT

NOW

[main plover]

I can't find it in the server where is it

I just joined it so

[earnest quail]

Stream must've ended

[astral spear]

"WE'VE BEEN PUT ON 4CHAN SHUT IT DOWN!!!"

[main plover]

DAMN IT

Either way if a modding server got the game that means it WILL leak very soon

[earnest quail]

Definitely

I originally said Friday at the latest

But now Thursday seems more likely

[main plover]

I could see it leak later today if we get lucky (or unlucky depending on if you want leaks or not)

[earnest quail]

Both for me

[main plover]

So medium lucky?

[earnest quail]

Since I kinda want final boss leaks, and I DEFINITELY want music leaks

But I also kinda don't want finale leaks?

But also I'm not gonna play the game for at least another month anyways

Since I wanna wait 'till Black Friday

So... yeah, might as well spoil myself lol

[earnest quail]

I suppose so

[main plover]

I both want everything to leak and nothing to leak

But leaning more to everything

[heady cloud]

And the other guy that was posting sonadow gens leaks on twitter is just posting misinformation now

[main plover]

Why are they saying Tails will give Sonic "T-Pup"
T-Pup is a shitty Archie name for the Remote Robot from Tails' Adventure!!!!
They would not reference Tails Adventure in 2024!!!!!!!!!!

That's such a blatant lie

[frosty wraith]

what.

We need to get that game fast asf

Jesus Christ, this is fucking very obvious AI

Dude is desperate for the views

[hasty agate]

[upbeat reef]

I'm just happy to see everyone 🙂

[copper flame]

such a natural line delivery

[earnest quail]

Imagine if it isn't AI and this is actually what the line sounds like now

100% not the case

But it's funny regardless

[tiny fiber]

i didn't even need to watch the full video to know this is fake

goofy ass voice delivery

[earnest quail]

WOW! IT'S WHAT EVERYONE THOUGHT!

If you're wondering, this MS dude actually did have a connection with someone who got a review copy of the game, and leaked some footage of it before anyone else

Then the as dude stole all of that, posted it on his account, then went to stealing posts from 4chan, and now is making shit up

Basically, there's beef between Sonic leakers lmfao

[main plover]

Oh my god Trash vs. Garbage is happening live

[heady cloud]

https://fxtwitter.com/SparksEchidna/status/1846605133133627841

[main plover]

LEAKS WILL START ANY MINUTE NOW

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR UNLISTED YOUTUBE UPLOADS OF EVERY STAGE IN THE GAME

[trail hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-gif-1386963381209125706

[main plover]

I can't wait for all the interesting stuff to leak the moment I stop using my computer so I can play Mario Party

[frosty wraith]

JUST FUCKING STEAL IT, IDC IF IT'S NOT FOR THE CONSOLE YOU WANT

https://tenor.com/view/antonblast-anton-summitsphere-scream-gif-6638347084037398017

[main plover]

It's not even for a console they don't have, it's for a console they don't want it for

[frosty wraith]

You still get me.

I need that...

[heady cloud]

Also my reaction lmao

[frosty wraith]

NSP OR XCI

[heady cloud]

I just need the nsp already 😭
Or xci
Or whatever format ut has

[main plover]

It's over a week early just buy the game and (if possible) leak the rom

[heady cloud]

I NEED to battle ||black doom|| while listening to sea botton segue(please let this song be in the game. It's so good)

[main plover]

I can't emulate a Switch because I only have a shitty laptop but I want that MUSIC, I want that FOOTAGE, I want to know if there's unlockable music and figurines

[heady cloud]

At least dlc music is confirmad
Even with a small chance of it being generations only

[main plover]

True, I mean for Shadow Generations

But actually I wonder if there's the weird extremely secret statues you can unlock through weird mystery codes

[frosty wraith]

Don't worry man, I will continue Son Biten Moderator r/Kirby Discord Server Sonic Frontiers Nintendo Switch files leak legacy and try to get the music

wonder why they left...

[main plover]

I wasn't here for Frontiers leaks, who were they?

[frosty wraith]

Oh, when Frontiers got leaked, he decided to dig in the game files and leaked the cutscenes in this thread

And they used this fella as their pfp

Son Biten is the character name

[main plover]

Huh

If things haven't leaked by tomorrow i'll be shocked

[frosty wraith]

Just like 4chan users are saying

The copies are falling on the wrong hands.

[main plover]

We know someone who is literally in a modding server has a copy

WHY HASN'T IT LEAKED YET

[valid rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-thumbnail-does-he-know-he-doesnt-know-gif-27552850

[lapis tiger]

you do realize Faye is still in the server right

[copper flame]

i love how its the second time i see people think that faye is a different person from herself

[valid rapids]

i think i did too at one point

going from mod to civillian is like taking off the superhero mask
goes from "everyone knows you" to "who are you"

[frosty wraith]

Fucking Superman situation

[lapis tiger]

I realized it was her in like less than a week

but didn't say anything lmao

[valid rapids]

i realized because she would never

https://tenor.com/view/magolor-epilogue-magolor-epilogue-kirby-adventure-wii-gif-27554402

[copper flame]

anyway i cant wait for this game to leak while im asleep and i wont be able to play up until after tomorrow's classes 💔

[lapis tiger]

like no one else here uses '3DX'

[frosty wraith]

whar?

[lapis tiger]

as TDX abbreviation lol

[copper flame]

i wonder how many more other than me abbreviate return to dream land deluxe as rtdx lol

[lapis tiger]

in this server? a bit

[frosty wraith]

RTDLDX

yeah that sounds ugly

[lapis tiger]

I do RTDL DX

with a space

[valid rapids]

2,560 results for rtdx

crazy

some from 2020... real

oh wait a minute this aint kirby

[main plover]

I do RTDLDX

[copper flame]

lmfao

anyway uhhh if the game actually does get dumped ping me

since chances are this will happen when i will be sleeping

[main plover]

ping me too

[valid rapids]

me too

email me

[valid rapids]

i like how fucking desperate metal sounds like

its like he's trying to convince himself that he is better, despite being on the edge

[heady cloud]

Me

[trail hamlet]

NOT YOU
NOT SONIC

NOT ANYONE!!!!!

[long slate]

neo metal sonic yelling at classic sonic

[trail hamlet]

True!

[valid rapids]

weird of him to act somewhat human despite being such a cold machine

maybe the reason he acts like that is really from copying the Sonic™ Heroes

[main plover]

iirc the Encyclo-Speed-Ia implies he acts the way he does in Heroes from copying Eggman

[valid rapids]

that explains

[earnest quail]

Also ping me
