Is Ian Flynn still on the forums? Maybe we can summon him and get him to explain what the gently caress is going on here.

He said that Sega gave Archie comics the full English script for Sonic 06 and they couldn't make it work. Think on that. Sonic '06 is such a hot mess, no one wants it, even comics.

They've actually gotten a lot better in the last few years. After Ken Penders was out of the picture they fired basically everyone and brought in a whole new team of writers and artists, who did an admirable job of taking the bewildering pile of stupid Ken left behind and building something halfway decent out of it.

The one thing I remember seeing in the comic at one point was this panel of a freakishly overly muscular Tails. Do I even want to know the context for that one?

You want to know even less than you want to know anything else about Sonic comics. It's a very long story.

All you need to know is that the current Sonic comics are a simpler, more light hearted affair that makes for easy, enjoyable reading. It's great to say that about the comics again.:unsmith:

That depends on if you have the capacity to like things because they're hilariously bad, or if you require things to be good to enjoy them.

I hope you like cut scenes! I hope you also like short cuts because as I played this I came to a decision, I'm going to use speed runs short cuts when the game lazily just repeats sections of itself. So if you haven't been watching the bonus videos you'll be in for some fun. Everyone will be in for some hubris, and of course graboids.

Oh yeah.

So basically it all comes back to the fact that Tails was The Chosen One because why the gently caress not, but when it was time to cash in his destiny he couldn't handle it, so he summoned all the Tailses in the multiverse and merged with them to become the hero Mobius deserved.

Let's Play Sonic Adventure 2 Episode 1 - Grace is Helpful

Before we decided to do this, I explained to Grace I had never played a 3d sonic game, and I've only ever played Sonic and Knuckles for like twenty minutes. I also explained that Grace, who's played almost all of them, needed to give me some instruction while we play so I didn't look like the biggest bag of poo poo to ever upload a garbage video onto youtube.

Please enjoy while Grace completely leaves me to the wolves.

I thought you were referencing things that were said in the other thread but it turns out that I mixed the two threads up.

Could you possibly upload a video of an "intended" S rank? According to the thread to get an S rank really easily you just have to kill all the enemies and get a bunch of rings without losing them. Since you've mostly been using speed run strats for this LP i would like to see you play like sombody that is playing the game for the first time would do.

The Chaos Drive should correctly work like this: 1. Face some enemies. 2. Hold down the square/whatever X-Box button. 3. Shadow instantly teleports between enemies, punching them. 4. The camera bugs out, killing you.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
I think you're supposed to hold down the Jump button, not the Action button, but I'm not sure. That attack has never worked properly for me.

I'll try to do one in the next few days. Oddly enough the next update will basically contain one of these but that's only because the level is a joke.

I love how in Flame Core, the designers obviously realized that the level is loving terrible and you die all the time because of random glitches (I'm consistently impressed by your ability to stay on walls you sideways-run on). Because their solution was obviously not "make the level into a not piece of poo poo", but rather "put 1-Ups everywhere". Too bad they only spawn once, eh? The original Sonic games respawned Power-Ups on restarting from a checkpoint, so they could go the modern-games-that-still-cling-to-lives-but-don't-want-to-be-poo poo-about-it route (like Mario Galaxy - not bad, old Sonic) in lovely (*coff Hydrocity 2) segments and put a 1-Up directly behind a checkpoint.

Sonic 06 is too bad for this.
