Sonic Superstars Leaks/Spoilers

[humble charm]

OK FOR SOME REASON IT WORKS ON KEYBOARD BUT FOR THE XBOX CONTROLLER IS JUST

nuh uh

[hybrid nymph]

I think they mean the right bumper

Did you try that?

[humble charm]

guess what

I DID THAT

[hybrid nymph]

Oh damn lol

[humble charm]

THE GAME JUST HATES THE XBOX RIGHT STICK

[little quiver]

just to show

[humble charm]

HOLD ON LEMME TRY ANOTHER CONTROLLER

[reef anvil]

Let us watch

And see what happens

[hybrid nymph]

Y'know, now feels like a good time to mention it: All of the Emerald Powers seem either pretty worthless or completely broken

[spring shoal]

[spring shoal]

I'mma need a source for this

[humble charm]

...

the game just hates controllers right sticks

[little quiver]

should be pretty easy to find stream on Twitch if you want to watch
it's the VTuber

[spring shoal]

If this is true then it's so so over for this game

[hybrid nymph]

From what I can tell, Avatar is nice for cheesing bosses, Water does its job as a fun but situational power up, Bullet is f*cking broken, and the rest are useless

Oh, and there's also Super Sonic, but I honestly never liked using him in regular gameplay

[reef anvil]

Oh it's the vtuber

I was watching another guy on the final boss

How's the vtuber doing

[little quiver]

||they just got to second phase||

[hybrid nymph]

||OH SHIT IS THIS NEW?!||

[little quiver]

nah

[hybrid nymph]

||Oh nvm||

[glass carbon]

Bro got a bit too cocky lol

[reef anvil]

Sigh

[hybrid nymph]

||Honestly I'm really disappointed they didn't change the way Super Sonic works at all||

||The Emeralds all run on a short time limit, this was the perfect opportunity to do the same with Super Sonic and give it SLIGHTLY more depth||

[spring shoal]

Spoiler that

Oh, the graphics look #1 better here

Nah nvm, my brightness was too high

[hybrid nymph]

Is this the PS5 version?

[spring shoal]

Looks like it

[hybrid nymph]

Because the models and textures seem slightly cleaner

And the floor isn't flickering like with the PS4 version

[glass carbon]

||Phase two time again||

[spring shoal]

This guy is smarter than the other one

[little quiver]

based on lighting I think it's Switch? but I haven't seen them pause (to show the buttons) to tell for sure

[spring shoal]

Woah

||Witch time real??||

[spring shoal]

That's lowkey cool hold up

[glass carbon]

||Bro stop trying to hit it lol||

He died again lol

[hybrid nymph]

||No, he has the right idea, he just keeps doing it too early||

||He needs to wait until it starts moving again before using Bullet||

[spring shoal]

|| This final boss still stinks.||

[hybrid nymph]

||Yeah, this looks pretty bad||

[spring shoal]

LOL

[hybrid nymph]

10/10 gameplay

[glass carbon]

😭

[reef anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-cant-watch-stop-gif-12587204

[glass carbon]

Goddamit I would reach through that fucking screen and grab that controller from him

[humble charm]

ight so are we allowed to speak about emulators or something?

[spring shoal]

Nononononono

[humble charm]

shit

im trying to fix the right stick problem

[hybrid nymph]

Emulators, I think so?

But I know you can't discuss anything relating to roms or piracy

And this kinda falls in that category

[humble charm]

i know

[glass carbon]

Alright I can't watch anymore
Ping me when he finally beats em

[hybrid nymph]

Ditto

[humble charm]

cuz idk if this thing is the problem or not

[hybrid nymph]

Yeah, I'm not sure

I've rarely had to mess with deadzone settings in emulators before

[humble charm]

like i decided to configurate the keyboard to check and it works

just pressed the right stick keys and moved to the only emerald i have at the moment and stopped pressing the key and boom

it selected the emerald

but with the xbox controller?

ya... nope

its like the game still detects that im moving the right stick despite not

[spring shoal]

|| Witch time||

[humble charm]

ok i was right

it was deadzone right

NOW I CAN USE EMERALD POWERS USING A CONTROLLER LETS GOOO-

[spring shoal]

The final boss is more annoying than hard

I genuinely feel sorry for this guy

There's barely any breathing room between attacks

Oh god

[reef anvil]

There is zero room for error

It's so dumb

[spring shoal]

Streamer rage

Rightfully

THAT'S UNFAIR WTF

[humble charm]

erm what the scallop

[spring shoal]

Playesting who?

I wouldn't blame him if he quit

This game is cooked

[little quiver]

and another person got to final boss
but with Tails

who will beat it first lmao

[humble charm]

what are the || fruit levels|| for anyway

https://tenor.com/view/scared-shocked-cry-funny-black-kid-gif-18693964

JESUS CHRIST I THOUGHT I HEARD FNF BOYFRIEND FOR A MOMENT

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-gif-17985852

[reef anvil]

Streamer keeps throwing on the last hit

Losing my shit I wanna go to bed

[spring shoal]

This lowkey feels like an infinite gif

https://tenor.com/view/kios-angry-computer-stare-gif-16068406

We're gonna be here awhile

|| If the true ending is underwhelming as hell then ☠️ ||

[humble charm]

kill

[spring shoal]

?????

You couldn't pay me to beat this game

[little quiver]

streamer using Tails beat it
||seems like there's different character endings||

||also god the final boss is so much easier with Tails, though that's to be expected||

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/jaw-drop-jaw-drop-surprise-shocked-gif-5038913

[spring shoal]

As expected

[gloomy terrace]

||yeah
Tails is usually the easy mode of the 2d games||

[spring shoal]

|| Sonic 3 tails my beloved||

[little quiver]

||btw they only had three of the Emeralds, if anyone was curious||

[spring shoal]

Oh no streamer don't jinx yourself

OH

THAT WAS CLOSE

[reef anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/correctcity-feral-gif-21818350

[little quiver]

||oh I didn't realize, Trip is playable in actual Story Mode and Battle Mode too huh? lol||

[gloomy terrace]

||does she get added to the title screen?||

[glass carbon]

||Yeah||

[gloomy terrace]

||that's good||

[little quiver]

||why is (the first part of) her mode so similar to Story Mode if she's already playable in there lol||

[spring shoal]

I can't wait for the 3 hour reviews of this game

A Brutally Honest Review Of Sonic Superstars

[plain path]

same

[spring shoal]

How Sonic Superstars Ruined My Life

[gloomy terrace]

||"sonic superstars is a disappointed"
"Sonic superstars makes me sad"
"Sonic trips yet again with superstars"
"Mario wonder is gonna come out I'm just gonna play that"||

[little quiver]

just to show

[spring shoal]

|| Unrelated but this UI reminds me of Lost World in the worst way possible.||

Wait can you even pause during boss fights?

[little quiver]

yes

[spring shoal]

o

ONE MORE HIT

JUST ONE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[reef anvil]

||Eggman cooked a good mech design and this is what happens. God damn he's had enough||

[little quiver]

have ||Trip in the shooting segment||

better picture but in the ||overworld||

[reef anvil]

Wait a minute is that

[little quiver]

streamer is doing ||Trip's Story|| now so we'll see how that goes

[reef anvil]

||The fiery eggmobile from Sonic 3?||

[gloomy terrace]

||it's that thing you know||

[reef anvil]

Indeed

[little quiver]

oh nice

[spring shoal]

|| STREAMER MENTIONED MAGOLOR SOUL||

[reef anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/magolor-magolor-soul-sussycado-gif-1725146180057200424

[little quiver]

oh I guess another streamer ||beat final boss off camera and is now doing Trip's Story|| too

[spring shoal]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

|| TRUE ENDING TIME???||

OH

-wait-

||the ending cutscene is slightly different?||

Imma wait a bit

|| PLEASE don't fucking let it be you have to complete the game with all characters with all chaos emeralds to get the true ending.||

|| SUPER SONIC ||

That's kinda underwhelming

|| Maybe there's an ending if you unlock all emeralds with trip??||

|| Long ass credits.||

oh

|| Streamer is playing Trip's story.||

|| We need trip lore||

mkay I'm clocking out

fuck this game

[little quiver]

||did you get any pics of Sonic's credits?||

oh wait I see there's VOD stuff

||okay yeah doesn't look like anything too special, rip||

[spring shoal]

|| I don’t think there’s a super sonic boss fight.||

|| I think the emeralds are just there for abilities.||

[little quiver]

||yeah there's not in main story, supposedly there's something after 'Trip's Story' but we'll see||
||btw have English version of Trip's Story's name, is as expected||

[spring shoal]

We will have to see

[ebon solar]

||trip’s story really is a hard mode, huh||

||the sky temple boss is shooting out twice as many saw projectiles ||

[next whale]

does trip has a ||unique final boss?||

[little quiver]

we don't know

[next whale]

btw ||i saw my friend using the multiply chaos emerald for bosses, it does wonders in the final boss second phase||

||also, trip story is like the dedede metaknight modes in the 3ds kirby games, but in canon and eggman isnt there, an eggrobo is using the bosses apparently||

[dark kestrel]

||it's fuckin' knuckles' campaign from 3K, what would you expect||

[little quiver]

||does Trip's Story Pinball Carnival Act 1 require the time-stopping Emerald power? would hope not, but seeing streamer struggle on that stage||

||oh, either way they're going back to get them now||

[dark kestrel]

for the record most streamers that play leaked games tend to be dumb
i need not remind you of the streamer that got 12 game overs in mania's oil ocean zone

[elfin kayak]

i will be playing it myself in a few minutes

this will be painful

[little quiver]

||I mean there's a literal sign with time-stop symbol after the checkpoint||

[dark kestrel]

expect him to not be aware of it
that's what i've learned

[little quiver]

||some Trip's Story pictures, sign and very fast door is in second-to last picture||

||and they went around the stage and couldn't find any other obvious way around||

[elfin kayak]

||i wish we could see the purple death dragon from trio of trouble||

[dark kestrel]

that said i really hope this game's core is good enough
i'm really holding out hope they'll add characters chaotix into the game as a plus expansion or something

[elfin kayak]

sonic superstars plus is a given at this point

[dark kestrel]

shit, did they really leave that shit hanging?

[little quiver]

||but would be weird to change this stage and gate it only for Trip's Story||

[elfin kayak]

that's sonic team's new strategy it seems, release bad games and "fix" them afterwards

half of the time with additional cost

[little quiver]

supposedly ||it's in a last story after Trip's, but we'll see||

[elfin kayak]

yeah I've heard of this, hopefully its true

[dark kestrel]

iirc frontiers came out alright compared to initial footage
but different game, different team

[next whale]

||trip story is based in knuckles story from Sonic3&knuckles and after a point knuckles stop going throw some zones to fight a unique final boss||

if i have to guess i think ||fang is gonna be trip´s final boss, and the evil dragon will be the super boss||

[little quiver]

what does this relate to what I said

[dark kestrel]

||don't expect it, i heard tales off the 'chan that say there's just a 100% completion screen||

[next whale]

||that it wouldnt be weird to change some levels or gate them for trip||

[little quiver]

||did Knuckles' Story have anything like Emerald powers?||

||like, it isn't for an ability Trip has, it's specifically for the Emeralds; and the game doesn't tell you or indicate anything about needing them in this Story before this stage||

[next whale]

||the knukles story has sections where you have to glide, i guess they tried to do similar but instead with trip´s natural abilities, they are telling you to have some emeralds already...||

[little quiver]

||yeah, that's the part that's weird lol||

[next whale]

||yeah, trip´s already has some unique abilities||

||also if trip appears in modern sonic i want her to be kinda a jerk, like she gets over her anxious tendencies, and its rude towards sonic and knuckles, indifferent to tails and amicable to amy "do you really like this jerk amy?" kinda how ema sky went from sweet to a tired jerk in the AA games lol||

[little quiver]

||and time-stop is either the 6th or 7th Emerald too, oof||

[lunar pelican]

music:
||https://youtu.be/Sq0X2HspQuY||

it's so good

[ebon solar]

||dude is still out here trying to get the emeralds, at least he got the time stop one but damn it’s been a couple hours||

[glass carbon]

I just realized
||There’s no boss fight with Trip lol||

[elfin kayak]

I'll just choose sonic for now

upscaled it a bit

who is this man

[hybrid nymph]

Yo Strimp, what are your first impressions for the game?

[elfin kayak]

im completely biased so won't comment til I play a good amount

its uhh

physics are good

level design i dont have any issues with YET

[mossy pulsar]

When on earth did this music play? This has to be fake right?

||https://youtu.be/RzvQzBQ6Wa4?feature=shared||

[glass carbon]

||I think this plays during the Metal Fighter boss fight in Cyber Station zone?||

||I know I heard it somewhere in Game but I just can’t remember||

[elfin kayak]

at speed jungle act 2 im kinda enjoying this so far?

hopefully it doesnt get worse

||HIS THEME IS A REMIX OF THE TRIPLE TROUBLE ONE YES||

[lunar musk]

YES

[glossy lava]

||if it was literally anything else I would’ve been sad||

[glass carbon]

||YOU MEAN THEY ADDED THE REMIX FOR SONIC’S ROUTE BUT NOT HIS ACTUAL BOSS FIGHT??????||

||WHAT THE FUCK GAME LOL||

[little quiver]

see the streamer beat the game as Sonic (with all Emeralds) now, wonder if he'll ||finish Trip's story now (assuming he hasn't already done more while I was asleep)||

btw, ||Super Sonic has this thing where the trail occasionally jolts in front of him for some reason (at least, when running straight forwards in the credits), is that a bug? it looks weird||

[elfin kayak]

datamining the game rn

[little quiver]

oh, I think they're ending stream now
hopefully they continue later

[little quiver]

tell us if you manage to find anything relating to ||later on in Trip's Story|| or ||'The Last Story'||

[elfin kayak]

online related stuff i guess?

[little quiver]

probably, would assume it's Battle Mode stuff

[elfin kayak]

||her||

[little quiver]

||I love her, such a cutie||

[little quiver]

||good to see Metal Trip stuff is in there||

(major spoilers)
from another server, ||the purple dragon||

[hybrid nymph]

||AYO IS THIS A TRUE FINAL BOSS?!||

[little quiver]

||probably? haven't seen video or more pics yet though, would assume this is 'The Last Story' stuff||

[glass carbon]

||YOOOOOOO MORE DRAGONS!!!!||

[reef anvil]

||Oh there's a metal Trip too||

[glass carbon]

||NIGHTS????||

[little quiver]

||yeah, pretty sure a review mentioned them||

[glass carbon]

||https://youtu.be/LnBJxhpOfQQ?si=NMisqFZQ8MGJ0uH4||

Pretty good but ||I really wish Jun of all people didn’t do the remix lol||

[plain path]

||balan one next||

[next whale]

So ||did trip had an unique final boss?||

[reef anvil]

Unknown atm

[spring shoal]

|| That looks sick wtf.||

[little quiver]

||there's no footage or pictures of the later parts of her story yet||

[little quiver]

supposedly this is ||true final boss and/or zone theme, I don't remember hearing this before at least||

ah, ||supposedly that's for some zone, and this is actual dragon theme||

[glass carbon]

Oh damn!!!

||Great final boss theme so far!||

[spring shoal]

It’s giving Sonic Advance 3 vibes

[glass carbon]

||I like how hopeless it sounds compared to how upbeat Mania’s final boss theme was||

[spring shoal]

|| Wtf is Sonic Superstars lore.||

|| If it’s not a janky nightmare then this boss could be the game’s saving grace.||

[little quiver]

okay nevermind it is the other theme
(or just assume it could be either who knows at this rate lmao)

[glass carbon]

Both are good so it’s a win win at least

Although I do hope it’s the second one lol

[charred solstice]

||i think i heard chaos angel zone motif from sonic advance 3 in between the song||

[little quiver]

||Trip's Story final boss, apparently||

[charred solstice]

||nice screen ko too 😅 ||

[reef anvil]

WHAT

||THE KNACK MECH???||

[next whale]

||I KNEW IT||

||I FREAKING CALLE IT||

[glass carbon]

||Thank god lol||

[reef anvil]

||WAIT SHE HAD A RING, ITS AN INSTAKILL?||

[glass carbon]

||I was hoping they would save it for Trip’s mode||

[spring shoal]

|| Kirby Triple Deluxe||

[glass carbon]

||THE NACK IS BACK||

[past gazelle]

||Damn those animations look a lil odd lmao||

[glass carbon]

||Yeah the animations are not this game’s strong suit lol||

[past gazelle]

||OUT OF NOWHERE, TRAVELLING THROUGH SPACE AND TIME, A PURPLE DRAGON APPEARS!||

[charred solstice]

||https://vxtwitter.com/Cars2Gamer/status/1712838087410147565||
oh no

[spring shoal]

Could be worse

[little quiver]

70 isn't too bad, about average

(who seriously pays attention to review scores anyway)

[glass carbon]

Honestly that’s really tame compared to how most of us were talking about the game lol

And honestly it’s been getting like
A few 80s too?

[charred solstice]

:O

[spring shoal]

|| undeserved 80s||

[little quiver]

from what I've seen, game is decent, but costs a bit much for all it has lol

[glossy lava]

I’ve seen 6s to 8s

[little quiver]

main thing is stuff needed more polish, really

[glossy lava]

the day 1 patch:

[little quiver]

there'll probably be one lol
but doubt it will fix everything

at most, they might fix few of the bugs

[hybrid nymph]

To be fair, very few of these reviews are negative

This is one of the lowest scores the game got

And even then, they still call the game good

They likely just define what's a 6/10 differently than other reviewers

[charred solstice]

so it's good game, but missing some polish unfortunately overall in conclusion? :o

[glass carbon]

Yeah pretty much lol

[hybrid nymph]

Yeah, mainly with the new stuff

[glossy lava]

lol

[hybrid nymph]

The Emerald Powers are unbalanced, the multiplayer's messy and awkward, the battle mode is underwhelming, the bosses are lame, and the pricetag is too high

Those are the main complaints I'm seeing here

But again, almost all of these reviews still call the game good

[charred solstice]

Yeah
that's good to hear at least...

[little quiver]

also people are mixed on the music

[glass carbon]

||Honestly Jun's tracks are really the only ones I dislike so far lmao||

||Again, who let bro cook||

[little quiver]

||yeah, that's what I was referring to lol||

[hybrid nymph]

Honestly I wouldn't be so mad about Jun doing more Classic Sonic music if it wasn't almost all of the music in the second half of the game and WORSE than Sonic 4

[spring shoal]

|| …I’d even argue that Sonic 4 has the better soundtrack over superstars.||

[charred solstice]

||even worse then sonic 4 ep 2? D:||

[hybrid nymph]

||Ep 2 had good music||

[spring shoal]

Yep

[next whale]

||nah, they are both bad, but sonic 4 soundtrack is just horrible, you people are just a little overnegative, also have superstar soundtrack on the head recently...||

[hybrid nymph]

||I think Superstars' good tracks are pretty good||

||But the bad tracks (aka Jun's tracks) are worse than most of Ep 2 and some of Ep 1||

[next whale]

||i disagreed, episode 2 desert level has some terrible music, worse that anything from superstar, and the others are on par imo....ep1 i dont remember its music that much, but i remember being boring....gonna give you this golden capital music is very forgetabble too||

[glossy lava]

||tbh I don’t think anything I’ve heard so far is particularly awful but I imagine going from an absolute banger lopes track to a merely okay jun track is like||

[next whale]

||TEE LOPES tracks are really good, i think his mania tracks are better, but what i heard it very good....jun doing his "genesis like music" is so mid but since is in the same game with some of tee lopes bops, makes it looks like THE WORST MUSIC EVER. its the whole Atomic bomb vs coughing baby meme||

[glossy lava]

||Literally!!!!!!||

||Like they aren’t bad they just pale in comparison||

[hybrid nymph]

What was IGN smoking 💀

[next whale]

||im getting this on PC so i can mod it with better music later when it gets in discount...what i play at my friend house, the game is a 7 for me....the bosses are weird but idk i did figure out how they work very quick, i have a knack for bosses like that, but they are very unsonic-y||

[next whale]

they gave sonic 4 ep 1 very good scores compared to ep 2 and we all know 1 is the worse one

the same with unleashed, wii and ps2 got better scores that HD

and most peopl think HD is the superior one...||even when wii/ps2 had the better final boss||

[spring shoal]

Exactly

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-west-yeah-right-sarcastic-angry-not-funny-gif-3568132

[hybrid nymph]

Well, that's mainly the result of IGN being comprised of different reviewers

It's not like one person is contradicting themself every single time

[charred solstice]

on the unrelated note, it made me very appreciate how well rtdldx launched/received by critics/users overall without polish probs

[reef anvil]

Average Kirby W

[spring shoal]

|| Sega needs to stop listening to IGN.||

[little quiver]

||oh is the campaign thing here referring to Story Mode and Trip's Story? lol||

[hybrid nymph]

||T-they aren't||

[next whale]

IGN makes sonci look worse always, like that frontiers debut gamplay trailer lol

[hybrid nymph]

That was a case of them giving the game the worst showcase possible

They just showed Sonic walking aimlessly, doing none of the platforming that made the game, y'know... fun

In their defense, that was the footage Sega gave IGN

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-kitty-slow-walk-slow-walk-hello-kitty-gif-25728124

This gameplay fire

[hybrid nymph]

But they could have edited it better, splitting their showcase between exploration and combat was an awful decision

It just made it seem like nothing was going on

[little quiver]

someone's streaming ||Trip's Story, we'll see how far they get/go for||

[lunar musk]

Indeed

Wait RTDLDX had a lack of polish???

[spring shoal]

Nuh uh

[lunar musk]

Im so confused-

Did it or did it not

[spring shoal]

who

[little quiver]

pretty easy to find them, they're on Twitch

[reef anvil]

I found em

[charred solstice]

obviously latter one 😅

[lunar musk]

WH

HOW

THE GAME WAS AMAZING

Aint no way the game was that good without polish

[spring shoal]

|| Woah this fang fight is actually kinda cool.||

[lunar musk]

Kirby is just that good at being a video game series

[little quiver]

||it's just the one from Sonic's Speed Jungle stage I think, not sure if there's any differences in Trip's version||

[spring shoal]

|| The mania re-usage pisses me off.||

[charred solstice]

I meant former one, oopsie :P

[spring shoal]

This level design ☠️

[charred solstice]

is that bad? D:

[spring shoal]

50/50

[reef anvil]

Ah they have all emeralds too

[spring shoal]

You can tell where that section starts looping and I hate it

[little quiver]

yeah, ||pretty sure you need them later on anyway||

||not even counting the Last Story stuff of course||

[spring shoal]

This stage stinks

faye 👋

[spring shoal]

Lol

[little quiver]

||they're at stage other streamer stopped at now, hopefully we see some new stuff soon||

[spring shoal]

What in the what

I recognize that sound effect

It's from Starfy

There it is again

[glass carbon]

||lol drug Trip||

[reef anvil]

||DRUG TRIP.||

[little quiver]

||god Super Trip is so broken||

[reef anvil]

This is more or less what it feels like

Oh no not this stage again

[reef anvil]

||Super Trip:||

[glass carbon]

(True Final Boss spoilers)
||Got this pic from the server that posted the first Super Trip video. Seems like this is another background boss fight||

aww

[manic token]

isn't this fake or smth

[dark kestrel]

one thing i saw in a vid that i hope isn't true is that ||the speed shoes do what the advance series did to the music in that they fuckin speed it up by 2x instead of 1.25x like the classics did
it makes the music completely unintelligible||

[ebon solar]

It’s true 😔

[dark kestrel]

fucking shit

[ebon solar]

||https://streamable.com/69yh24|| someone posted this in the srb2 discord, ||they grab the speed shoes in it||

||(there’s also a terrible bug where they get stuck in the end )||

[little quiver]

will just post this batch of ||Trip's Story|| pictures from stream here just incase
like always

[little quiver]

||think I saw that happen to someone else in another stage, oof||

[dark kestrel]

anyway the game still gets an extra 5 points on the 10 scale for me cause ||draggins||

[little quiver]

||dragons make everything cool||

[glass carbon]

I agree!!!!!

[dark kestrel]

preachin to the choir brother

[spring shoal]

I still don't know how to feel about this game

I know sonic fans on twt hyping it up now are just gonna call it bad in the next 5 years

there's been people who now hold forces in high regard of all games

||I saw someone use the 'Rabbit' skin in single player at least||

[glass carbon]

||Yeah, he even has his own animations too||

[little quiver]

||not sure if the others are exclusive to Battle Mode or anything||

Just as I thought, the ost sounds way better on its own

[next whale]

i dont have the pics here but the loops desing from the ||golden temple zone are the same desing from the old sonic 1 concept art that naoto oshima did more that 30 years ago||

[spring shoal]

Broshima

[glass carbon]

||https://youtu.be/05oI87XGvQw?si=GRaj5Mc3zTyjbiEU|| Lol

[reef anvil]

Is this the ||Super Sonic boss?||

Nope

[glass carbon]

Oh no it’s just the ||normal one lol||

[reef anvil]

||Trip streamer is STRUGGLING with the EX Egg Crusher||

[lunar musk]

ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE ||GLITCH EFFECT||

[glass carbon]

Oh btw ||the ending cutscene is different for Sonic here||

[little quiver]

||yeah the ending for all characters is different||

[glass carbon]

That’s cool

[little quiver]

||wonder how Golden Capital will go, since this is normally the world with Fang fight and Super Trip scene||

[elfin kayak]

i ragequit at the final boss
coop is maybe the worst gaming experience ive had

[little quiver]

lol yeah stages definitely aren't balanced for it

certain stages with moving platforms come to mind

[glossy lava]

sonic in general was not made for coop I think

except maybe 2 player

[dark kestrel]

spoiler tag that image plox

[glass carbon]

||Landia EX if they had a good design||

[dark kestrel]

all discourse aside i'll happily take generally positive scores on a sonic game over mediocre ones
and they'll likely update the game as they have with previous ones so it really can only get better

[past gazelle]

||So is there literally almost no build up or lore for the Afton Dragon?||

[little quiver]

||we have no idea, we haven't even finished Trip's Story yet||

[glass carbon]

||Aside from the short and opening cutscene, none so far||

[spring shoal]

|| Things in this game aren't explained very well.||

[little quiver]

||Trip being a dragon (in Super form) is also there technically||

||wonder if they'll do anything with that for the actual fight||

[reef anvil]

Lmao ||Super Trip is prone to being crushed||

[dark kestrel]

as is everyone else, how's that special

[little quiver]

||it's moreso that she can be slow and she is big||

[reef anvil]

[little quiver]

||so be careful if you use her in Golden Capital Act 2 (well, think this is normally the Knuckles Act) since all the crushers||

[past gazelle]

||Ah Sonic games and its instakill crush sections. Pretty sure I've developed a tiny phobia of those in other games too thanks to Sonic lmao||

||Yes even Kirby||

[reef anvil]

Divine Terminus

[little quiver]

also Towara (or was it Gabbel) lol

crushers are scary in most games

[past gazelle]

That one Daroach puzzle

Or that one Cutter puzzle

[hybrid nymph]

I'm sorry, but if you died to that, that's a you problem

[past gazelle]

Nah my brain too wrinkled fall for that trick

[little quiver]

don't forget the Sword one early on lol

[past gazelle]

Me tryna avoid Chemical Plant Zone cus of these

[dark kestrel]

mighty took an old shed shell of his and went to a shoemaker

[little quiver]

anyway ||wtf the Egg Robos are everywhere||

[past gazelle]

||Good thing no Phantom Ruby around||

[dark kestrel]

||does the time brake affect you as well or can you move at normal speed||

||cause you might be able to matrix these fuckers||

[little quiver]

||iirc you move at normal speed, not sure how it affects this section though||

||since you're on platform and all||

[reef anvil]

||The trip stramer went into the Fang on MQ boss with super trip but somehow died at the edge of an upwards portion||

[little quiver]

another batch for now

||not even like a new cutscene here? wtf||

[reef anvil]

Oh were gonna witness ||Retro trip||

[glass carbon]

There she is

[ebon solar]

Just now realizing ||they didn’t bother to retro-ify the egg robos here||

[ebon solar]

||they’re all normal||

[reef anvil]

Guh

[glass carbon]

OH SHIT

[reef anvil]

Wait you're there already???

[ebon solar]

damn, you’re out here working fast

[spring shoal]

OH

[elfin kayak]

not me

[ebon solar]

ah

[little quiver]

👀

[elfin kayak]

||dragon comes out of the water btw||

[spring shoal]

|| Perfect chaos||

[plain path]

||what does the nintendo eshop option do||

[dark kestrel]

||still affects your jump speed and reaction time, giving you a little extra wiggle room||

[glass carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/non-giving-up-school-guy-gif-5454370

[dark kestrel]

||presumably takes you to the game's shop page to look at the digital deluxe upgrade||

[plain path]

damn thats just cringe

[elfin kayak]

||no cutscene about the dragon ALLEGEDLY ||

its abrupt

[spring shoal]

[dark kestrel]

i mean i'll bet a plus upgrade is in the pipeline so it'd just make sense

[plain path]

but why even have locked content in the first place.

isnt both versions releasing the same day

[spring shoal]

Oh my god not again

|| We did this same song and dance with origins and look how that turned out.||

[dark kestrel]

origins plus is fine
got the whole thing after plus released and only cost me 40 bucks with no extra shit tacked on

[plain path]

they will add classic shadow then the fans will eat it up like origins

[spring shoal]

Yuck, Classic Shadow

[dark kestrel]

in lore, he still exists in the classic timeline in a capsule on prison island

[plain path]

yeah waiting till its all the dlc is done is a good strategy

[elfin kayak]

GUUUYS

I HAVE THIS

[reef anvil]

HOLYY SMOKES

[elfin kayak]

sending in a bit

[plain path]

true but isn’t sonic the same age in the classic and modern games

[dark kestrel]

spoiler that shit dude

[plain path]

i feel like its just an artstyle nowadays

[dark kestrel]

but also ||BIG DERG||

[plain path]

woah

[elfin kayak]

its spoilered

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/ramsay-raw-gif-13771788

[elfin kayak]

question can discord embed webm

i guess it can

[spring shoal]

ITS PEAK

[dark kestrel]

||cmon WHY did they even have to make the dragon pear-shaped
they just HAD to make him cute||

[lunar musk]

WHAT

[dusky grove]

||wondering what the dragon is called||

[lunar musk]

[dark kestrel]

you be nice

[past gazelle]

||He's Dragonborn Afton. He always comes back||

[dark kestrel]

||no but the TFB is basically my son and it's honestly the best thing about this game||

[little quiver]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTM7e22v8Z0 || someone uploaded all the animated scenes it seems btw

[glass carbon]

||What’s up with the opening theme music lol||

[humble charm]

aw hell nah, i got softlock

WAIT ||FANG FUCKING STOLE MY EMERALDS||

||dont tell me that i need to recollect them again||

[dark kestrel]

||S3K intro baby||

[glass carbon]

||Let him have them it’s what he deserves||

[hybrid nymph]

Mild music spoilers
||https://youtu.be/BTbiPZrniX8?feature=shared
This shit sounds like Sonic Spinball||

||It especially sucks because the medley itself is pretty good even if it loops too quickly||

||But the instrumentation KILLS what good there could have been in this track||

[dark kestrel]

||i thought they said there were no returning zones||

[dusky grove]

Oddly cute

[little quiver]

the best part is ||the dragon drawing||

||the fact it shows up in the cutscene after Last Story fight too is neat||

[glass carbon]

I bet ||Trip’s story will shed some light on whatever the dragon is supposed to be||

[glass carbon]

||Also this drawing is really cute lol||

[little quiver]

||depends on if literally anything important is different besides final boss||

[reef anvil]

At this rate the streamer is gonna take until sunrise

[little quiver]

||nah, this is second-to-last boss before final area||

[glass carbon]

||Oh they’re still on the mid boss lol||

https://youtu.be/VWhg3O2Bmzs?si=AdZs4xB4vZToKz3c

||Track 41||

[little quiver]

oh nice

[hybrid nymph]

Imagine getting an ad for a game that you're watching an ad of

[ebon solar]

Interesting

[ebon solar]

Skimming through this, ||one of the songs labeled Fang Battle is the metal sonic theme from S4E2||

||The next one after it is also Death Egg MKII||

[little quiver]

||yeah heard people say it was used as a placeholder in dev||

[reef anvil]

Makes sense tbh

||Mfw the 2 good songs from Sonic 4 are on here||

[ebon solar]

CinemaTriggerMedia is on ||Egg fortress on Trip’s story now, closing in on the end||

[little quiver]

one last batch before the more major stuff

[reef anvil]

This stretch alone is gonna take 5 hours

[little quiver]

nah, these two stages should be fine

[next whale]

so ||eggman left the game after the main campain?||

[little quiver]

||the problem is moreso how hard new final boss will be since I assume it replaces story mode one||

[reef anvil]

||Every boss so far has been a harder version of the normal one||

||Obviously this one will be even more different because it's Fang||

||But still this is gonna suck||

[spring shoal]

sigh

[reef anvil]

Streamer out

[little quiver]

oof

[ebon solar]

[spring shoal]

I don't blame him

[reef anvil]

It seems abrupt too, maybe they got cooked.

[little quiver]

did they go offline intentionally or did internet get cut out

[spring shoal]

Mario maker ass level design

[little quiver]

okay they're back

[reef anvil]

Thank god

[glass carbon]

||Hi The End||

Oh what

[little quiver]

guessing internet issues

[glass carbon]

Looks like they got cooked again?

Yup

[little quiver]

well they're back already

[ebon solar]

ah, resolution was causing a slowdown

[reef anvil]

It's because it's at 1080p apparently

[hybrid nymph]

Is this Twitch or YT?

[little quiver]

Twitch

[hybrid nymph]

||Man, this music would be pretty good if it wasn't such a tiny loop||

[reef anvil]

||NO MATTER WHAT FORM I TAKE, THE END COMES FOR YOU ALL!||

[spring shoal]

|| Eggrobo does a little trolling.||

god

[glass carbon]

||LOL SOMEONE DREW THE DRAGON ON THE WALL||

[next whale]

ok so apparently ||there is an alter secret boss aside the super sonic boss, against a golden death egg robot from the main campain, its unknown how to trigger it to appear||

[little quiver]

holy shit it's

[next whale]

||its Landia EX ||

[glass carbon]

Can we call the ||dragon Bertram until we find out it’s official name||

[glass carbon]

Oh???

[little quiver]

||nah call him Pirt||

[humble charm]

NO WAY-

[glass carbon]

Alright

[little quiver]

||pretty sure that is just an emu lighting bug||

[next whale]

||looks cool thought||

[glass carbon]

||Omg Metal Sonic hiiii!!!||

[next whale]

||how do you make him appear? you need to custom the robot for battle mode? ||

[humble charm]

||Yes.||

[ebon solar]

Yeah that makes sense

[glass carbon]

Oh that’s
||Actually pretty cool ngl||

[ebon solar]

||your custom bot design shows up in the pod eggman carries out of Sky Temple too||

[reef anvil]

||HOLY FUCK||

||WAIT DOES THIS MEAN YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE THAT BOT TO BE WHATEVER||

[glass carbon]

Yoooooo my original OC ||Bull the Shit!!!!||

[little quiver]

||oh that's nice, so could we fight Metal Trip?||

||or Metal Nights||

[reef anvil]

||Metal Tails, Metal Amy...MECHA SONIC (from Sonic 2)||

[next whale]

||costumable boss, not gonna lie that is a pretty big W for Azrest||

[spring shoal]

[glass carbon]

Here we go again

[spring shoal]

Oh?

|| Phase 1 ||

[reef anvil]

||Is this a remix of something||

[ebon solar]

New music?

[spring shoal]

I believe so

[glass carbon]

It’s the same boss theme that was used for ||Eggman in Scrap Factory||

[spring shoal]

|| Common Fang W, this boss is cooler.||

[glass carbon]

Definitely

[next whale]

||so the story for trip is that fang just repair all eggman´s stuff to get revenge on trip?||

[little quiver]

huh is it? thought that was different

[reef anvil]

||This boss is much cooler||

[humble charm]

||metal sonic is kill||

[glass carbon]

Wait no I was wrong

This is a new theme lol

[reef anvil]

||How many hits can the mf take||

[little quiver]

it's the second song I posted earlier right

[glass carbon]

I have no idea why I thought this was from the Eggman fight lol

[reef anvil]

Rip

[spring shoal]

smart thinking

[glass carbon]

Wait for it

[spring shoal]

Peak

[glass carbon]

||NACK IS FUCKING BACK||

[lunar musk]

Are y’all watching a twitchstream

[reef anvil]

||THE INSTAKILL||

[glass carbon]

JDJDICOOFODOOD

[reef anvil]

||NOOOOOOO||

[glass carbon]

HAHAHA

[spring shoal]

BRO LMAOOO

[lunar musk]

WAIT

||DID THE SUPER TRIP CUTSCENE HAPPEN||

[little quiver]

||there's barely any cutscenes in this mode, so it didn't happen in Trip's Story||

[lunar musk]

Ohhhhh

[humble charm]

ok so

when does big chungus appear

and by that

i mean the big rabbit

[glass carbon]

||We don’t see a big rabbit at all unfortunately||

[humble charm]

||NOOO-||

[glossy lava]

||Preorder cancelled tbh||

[spring shoal]

|| This boss is hard.||

|| That instakill move is funny but it shouldn't exist.||

[ebon solar]

||yeah these insta kills are getting on my nerves||

||he might end up being here longer than he was on the eggman fight||

[reef anvil]

Sighhhhhh

[ebon solar]

||did he break the music?||

[spring shoal]

The music glitched

[little quiver]

||ah did Time Stop music bug happen again lol||

[glass carbon]

||NOOOOO WHERE’S THE MUSIX||

[little quiver]

||someone else had that happen on last stage in story||

[spring shoal]

It's back

[glass carbon]

I swear to god if bro doesn’t dodge the damn attacks

Oh there we go

[ebon solar]

nice

[spring shoal]

That was cool

Pun entirely intended

[glass carbon]

Ugh

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[ebon solar]

that is really

mmmmmm I don’t like it

[spring shoal]

|| That instakill move makes this boss worse than the eggman one.||

||I'm so glad kirby has actual checkpoints in final battles because this shit is ridiculous.||

[next whale]

||want to reminds everyone, sonic is, for the most part, target to kids||

[spring shoal]

|| I'm already tired of this song lmao.||

|| It's just a 50 second loop.||

I'm out, ping if something interesting happens

[next whale]

||i will get this on steam and with a discount just to be able to mod the jun tracks out of the game||

[ebon solar]

that attempt was close

but he still lost

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/table-hit-yakuza-hitting-table-walk-out-gif-15307369

[ebon solar]

||im sorry why does Fang shoot the nets out three times in a row that’s so stupid||

[little quiver]

might just go to bed/take a nap soon
have batch of pictures from stream just in case, but hopefully the VOD should still be up in the morning at least

another ||Last Story dragon pic from someone in another server||

footage

[gloomy terrace]

||well that's a bit, underwhelming||

[dusky grove]

Thats so ugly lmfaooooo

[humble charm]

so i decided to play superstars with friends on parsec and...

yeah this shit wasn't probably playtested with multiplayer

[spring shoal]

Literally a gmod map

[reef anvil]

We still haven't seen any super forms other than ||Sonic and Trip||

[spring shoal]

Also this ain't looking too good

[hybrid nymph]

||They followed up the Frontiers Super Sonic bosses with this 💀||

[reef anvil]

||I mean come on we gotta see how they look like in 3d||

[spring shoal]

It feels like it's lacking....everything

[reef anvil]

Nahhhhh
They followed up ||Doomsday zone and Egg Reverie zone with this||

[spring shoal]

Sega if making consistent games was a challenge

https://tenor.com/view/melting-melt-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-19186896

[next whale]

Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE

[reef anvil]

Wow streamer is STILL stuck on ||Fang||

||Maybe...several instakill attacks isn't exactly good game design?||

[spring shoal]

|| SEVERAL??? PLURAL??||

[little quiver]

||yeah first phase has some||

||all the lasers are also instakill||

[reef anvil]

||The cork attack and the pink lasers. Are both instakills||

||And I guess the webs count as an instakill but only because they're followed up by the corks||

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-scared-afraid-dead-fan-gif-23609857

[humble charm]

imagine the classic super forms

did you imagine it?

good.

[spring shoal]

I hate this game

lol

[little quiver]

||heard the other person who beat entire game complain about this too (and again, no checkpoints) lol||

[next whale]

rule of thumb, any sonic game annoucement with less of 1 year apart of the last one has a high chance of being not polish enough

[reef anvil]

||Imagine if this game had LIVES.||

||Good GOD||

[spring shoal]

Refunds be wildin

Because the game would be impossible if this was implemented

[humble charm]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-falling-fast-gif-18043850

that would be fucking hell itself

[little quiver]

||someone should mod them in and force someone to play it, it will be funny||

[hybrid nymph]

||God, even then, this is a massive letdown||

|| Ruby Illusions clears I fear.||

[hybrid nymph]

||OH THANK GOD THE FINAL BOSS MUSIC DOESN'T SUCK||

[reef anvil]

||Trip streamer is STILL stuck on Fang||

[little quiver]

||been fighting it for 3 and a half hours||

[spring shoal]

|| He is filled with determination.||

[glass carbon]

||This is what happens when you’re a fake out boss||

[spring shoal]

|| Not fake out boss, just objectively bad boss design.||

[dusky grove]

||can anyone ping me when the true final boss theme is posted on yt||

[glass carbon]

||I was mainly talking about how Fang missed out on a fight when Trip transformed into a dragon and destroyed his mech lol||

[little quiver]

I mean it was already posted in here at least

[reef anvil]

||Mettaton NEO -> Spamton NEO||

||Well this is an insult to spamton NEO because Spamton NEO is...actually fun||

[little quiver]

this, ||assuming you mean Last Story one||

||and message afterwards has the Trip's Story Fang one||

[zealous citrus]

||Why doesn't Sonic just fly out of the 2D plane
Is he stupid||

[little quiver]

||yes||

[little quiver]

||been another hour, streamer is still stuck on Fang lol||

[manic token]

||no way 💔||

[lunar musk]

||they made that bossfight hard?||

[dusky grove]

||at this point i think this is less so a poorly designed boss but rather a major skill issue||

||tho it does look poorly designed||

||they should just get good||

[little quiver]

||it has three insta-kill moves (and no checkpoints)||

[hybrid nymph]

||Is it a long fight?||

[little quiver]

||two phases, idk how many hits for each||

||either way, the second phase stuff seems tricky with the webs and all||

||if you get stuck in them you are probably gonna die||

[dusky grove]

||sounds like a skill issue to me pilot||

[spring shoal]

|| It’s an annoying fight with instakill moves every second.||

[ebon solar]

||it’s possible to get out of them without getting hit by a cork, but as the fight progresses you’re more likely to jump straight into another net than get out alive||

[reef anvil]

||Beat it yourself before claiming skill issue ||

[dusky grove]

||naw||

[spring shoal]

|| I don’t blame the player, I blame the person who decided this was a good idea to implement.||

[little quiver]

||to be fair even the guy who beat Last Story said the fight sucked lol||

[dusky grove]

||yall just dont see the vision||

[ebon solar]

||id be a lot more lenient on the attack if it weren’t for the wavy ground, that’s like half the problem with avoiding the nets in the first place||

[little quiver]

||in their words, (replying to someone asking about Fang) "he had one (really bad) boss in the main campaign, and then a final (really really bad) boss in Trip's campaign", "most of it's attacks are instant kills, no checkpoints", "absolutely abysmal"||

||(they also said that the true final boss sucked, but idk if they mean in difficulty or not)||

[glass carbon]

Guys we just found ||Fang’s discord account||

[reef anvil]

The absolute state of the stream

[little quiver]

||though they did say "it plays like egg reverie except with 10% of the rings" but I have no idea what that would mean lol||

[lunar musk]

So true.

[plain path]

||i think he means there were less rings||

[reef anvil]

Streamer is about to give in

[little quiver]

||yeah but I don't know how much rings Egg Reverie has nor do I know how much harder it would make it||

[spring shoal]

I||'m concerned for his mentality ngl ||

[little quiver]

||anyway, out of curiousity decided to check random attempt at Fang fight to see how long a successful phase 1 attempt took them, from time dying in last attempt to when you take control in phase 2 was about 6 minutes||

[spring shoal]

[reef anvil]

THAT WAS SO CLOSE

NOOO

[plain path]

oh

[little quiver]

||god the times where Fang shoots 3 sets of webs looks really brutal||

[spring shoal]

Okay, I'm gonna see what's happening

||Has he been here all day? ||

|| Like, ALL day?||

[little quiver]

||for like 5 hours now I think||

[spring shoal]

|| I think dude needs to cut his losses.||

[little quiver]

||he said in chat he'll probably quit soon if he doesn't beat it||

[lunar musk]

He should wow

||This fang fight sounds genuinely rough||

[spring shoal]

|| It's annoying af||

[lunar musk]

||I guess Fang just has to make sure Trip gets beat up somehow||

||WAIT ITS FANG’S REVENGE FOR GETTING 1 SHOT||

[spring shoal]

|| This game's stupid design decisions baffles me.||

[lunar musk]

Agreed

[spring shoal]

|| Strimp was all too right, Sega releases borderline unfinished games and "fixes" them with an arbitary day 1 patch later. It's annoying.||

[plain path]

||wait this boss takes hours?||

[spring shoal]

|| It's not supposed to, It really shouldn't, but it does.||

[lunar musk]

Yea

[plain path]

and this guy is a gamer right?

like he knows how to play games

[spring shoal]

idfk

[plain path]

oh

[little quiver]

||I think a full successful attempt wouldn't, but yeah even the failed attempts seem bit long||

[mellow trellis]

i'd honestly wait ||for a day 1 patch before formulating final opinions||

[lunar musk]

Yes

[little quiver]

||if it really is about 6 minutes to get to phase 2 after dying||

[mellow trellis]

||if it still sucks after the fact, then rag on it||

[lunar musk]

Yes

[plain path]

well damn

[spring shoal]

Streamer should just quit atp

|| An alternate ending isn't worth it.||

[lunar musk]

Yup

[little quiver]

||I mean there's also Last Story, but yeah, I doubt they're having fun at this point lol||

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/blacrswan-gif-21283538

Him rn:

[lunar musk]

Yep

[spring shoal]

He finally quit

[lunar musk]

Bless that streamer’s soul

He deserves a hot meal and a good rest

And basically whatever comforts he needs after that

[spring shoal]

He deserves a better game

[plain path]

all he has to do is wait a week

[edgy radish]

sadly not going to buy this game though

seen the leaks and honestly this should be below $60

[spring shoal]

Yep

Best to pre-order mario wonder

[edgy radish]

at first I wasn't going to

but my curiousity got the better of me

[spring shoal]

I'd even argue that you're not missing out on much

[edgy radish]

I will stick to Mania though

[spring shoal]

Based

[edgy radish]

not based

[spring shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/ants-bindle-hobo-stick-sad-ant-gif-6604577456488723514

[edgy radish]

SEGA knew this was going to below that game's level of quality

[spring shoal]

This was a rush job and it shows

[edgy radish]

Sonic Rush is a better game than this

[spring shoal]

Rush Adventure

[edgy radish]

so true

despite the glaring issues the gameplay looks solid though

[spring shoal]

I guess

[edgy radish]

oh and Golden Capital is literally just this

which is so based

||I wish they did more like it||

[spring shoal]

|| The rest of the areas feel so uninspired. Literally a worse sonic 3.||

[humble charm]

well

i completed the game with some friends and...

that was an experience

especially carnival night superstars version

https://fxtwitter.com/Gelgumi/status/1712988932286099644

[edgy radish]

||The specific character acts are a cool idea though||

helps add a bit of replayability

[spring shoal]

The only good use of this stupid meme

[edgy radish]

||Trip is cute though but her being a dragon is like...||

||They really had another drink party just to do this idea for her huh?||

[lunar musk]

||she honestly gives more lizard vibes to me||

[spring shoal]

|| And the dragon lore isn't explained at all.||

[next whale]

||she is a lizard||

[lunar musk]

||Watch the reason her super form is a dragon be “Her name is Trip the Bearded Dragon”||

[spring shoal]

[lunar musk]

SHIT

What is wrong with me today

[gloomy terrace]

||you think future super forms will have more original designs||

[lunar musk]

Praying

[spring shoal]

eh idk

[gloomy terrace]

||like I doubt many will change
Like super sonic, shadow, silver
But at least future original characters||

||or the eventual super eggman
You think they would of done that by now||

[glass carbon]

Oh my fucking god

[gloomy terrace]

||does master emerald robotnik in move 2 count as super eggman||

[dark kestrel]

i think one of the more important things to ask about this game is what took away those 2 or 3 points on some of those reviews
cause like if it's the glitches, those a fixable; if it's the music, that's understandable. but if it's the core gameplay, level design, visuals, or anything that actually affects the game's playability, that's when shit gets serious

[edgy radish]

||and her Super form is like supposed to be her true form but like if we can give her a unique super form why can't the other 3 still get at least unique designs?||

[dark kestrel]

cause lore

this is the only game where it would matter

[spring shoal]

unexplained lore

[edgy radish]

branding be afraid to do different things

[spring shoal]

|| The dragon thing happens so abruptly too.||

[lunar musk]

Yeah

[spring shoal]

|| It's hard to care about something that happens randomly and is never explained again.||

[edgy radish]

yet the plumber gets to go against his brand and neighsayers

[spring shoal]

|| It being cool changes nothing.||

[gloomy terrace]

||how much you wanna bet trip is only ever gonna appear again in comics and mobile games||

[edgy radish]

||Also bringing back the last story is such a 2000 move||

if you know you know

[dark kestrel]

anyway my point about the review points stands

[spring shoal]

sentenced to side character hell

https://tenor.com/view/sentenced-judge-gavel-life-guilty-gif-12475856

[edgy radish]

Sage will definitely stay I'd say

but with Trip I'm not sure

[lunar musk]

As much as I dont want that to happen ||id bet my life savings it happens based on some of Sega’s decision making||

[gloomy terrace]

For some reason I doubt that
It's just something about her

[edgy radish]

well do you want her to be deleted like Infinite?

[gloomy terrace]

No

It's just something makes me doubt Sega will make her part of the semi main cast (metal, shadow, etc)

[edgy radish]

well sacrificing means nothing in this series anymore

if Shadow can come back so can Sage

[gloomy terrace]

Shadow came back cause he was popular with general audiences
He got that spinoff game for a reason

[spring shoal]

Kinda miss Shadow honestly, where has he been

[edgy radish]

IDW wise or game wise?

[gloomy terrace]

If the next nonclassic mainline game takes place in the general sonic universe and not a new location
Id say he gonna appear

[spring shoal]

Oh, I forgot IDW has a thing

Haven't read it since that eggcity arc

But uh I meant gamewise

Maybe its for the best, I don't want to see his character botched again

[lunar musk]

Yes

[edgy radish]

stuck in background character land

if we don't count racing or mobiles!

[gloomy terrace]

"hey shadow this reminds me of the biolizard"
Sonic's dialogue with shadow, probably

[spring shoal]

😭

The funny thing is, that sounds like dialogue they would put in a game

[lunar musk]

I hate how accurate that is 😭

[edgy radish]

"Hey Shadow! This girl, Sage... doesn't she remind you of Mar..."

"The past is behind me Sonic. When will YOU learn?"

[lunar musk]

SONIC WOULD SAY THAT

[gloomy terrace]

(sonic says in a monotone as hell voice)

[spring shoal]

Why do people still associate Shadow w/ Maria, it's been years

Not to mention Shadow has long since moved on

This is why the characters need new arcs

[lunar musk]

Dude if we got a classic Shadow in a superstars update it would be hype as fuck

[gloomy terrace]

That won't ever happen

[lunar musk]

Unfortunately

[gloomy terrace]

Especially with them trying to have a consistent lore either everything but the movies

[spring shoal]

Classic Shadow is fundamentally wrong anyways

[gloomy terrace]

Even though prime doesn't really make sense but they insist it's canon

[spring shoal]

Idc what they say, it's not canon to me

Just doesn't make sense

[edgy radish]

||love Sonic's frozen animation though||

[ebon solar]

at 1:22 in, there’s a motif that I recognize but I can’t place where it comes from

does anyone here happen to know?

[lunar pelican]

it's from act 1's track

[ebon solar]

why do I feel insane

LOL thank you I guess

Idk why I thought it came from something else

[lunar pelican]

https://youtu.be/mXc8KfUUHDM?si=FeqzT-Cemm44U6im

it's peak

[little quiver]

btw guy from last night beat ||Trip's Story final boss and tried to do Last Story, https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1950649670 here's the VOD||

[reef anvil]

????

There's no context for ||the dragon appearing||

[charred solstice]

||https://youtu.be/60Cv5XUYCkc?si=5C4x8TBc7FYear9i||

someone finally uploaded whole ||dragon|| thing on youtube :o

[spring shoal]

|| There's no context for the dragon showing up??||

|| That tornado pop-in lmfao.||

[glass carbon]

I really like the ||dragon design lol||

[glossy lava]

||Suddenly, warping through space and time,||

[glass carbon]

||WAIT WHY IS BRO WEARING SHOES||

[spring shoal]

|| Not a fan of this design, it just feels off.||

[little quiver]

||are the credits even different for the three modes lmao||

[charred solstice]

||no idea at this point 😅 ||

[little quiver]

||I like how the dragon looks, but story stuff not really being explained is rough; don't even have a name for him :(||

[glass carbon]

Eh ||I think it fits the world at least lol||
||Didn’t expect to be anthropomorphic like the other characters though lmao||

[little quiver]

||his tail being like Trip's is cool||

[spring shoal]

|| Wait, it has a second phase?||

[glass carbon]

||Okay that attacks looks cool||

[glass carbon]

||It he turns into a giant flaming orb then I’m leaving||

||Oh so we’re going Time Eater up in here now okay||

[hybrid nymph]

||...huh||

||Y'know, I didn't expect this boss to be amazing, I knew to lower my expectations after Frontiers||

||But did we seriously have to revert back to the quality of every previous mediocre Super Sonic boss?||

[glass carbon]

||DAMMIT||

[spring shoal]

☠️

[hybrid nymph]

||And I'm sorry, but the design looks goofy AF||

[charred solstice]
