Works for me. Though in Amy’s case I personally kind of like her Boom outfit better than her regular one (along with her personality for that matter). In fact, they should just update the mainline version of the character entirely at this point.

Larryb posted:That about covers it. I assume Gerald found Emerl a little while before the raid on the ARK, sealing him away and jettisoning him to Earth before being arrested. Not sure when he found Emerl exactly but Battle says he gave him to the military to buy more time to work on Project Shadow. Oh, and Gerald also worked with Elise’s father at some point according to the leaked internal Sonic 06 script document. Guy got around.

Detective No. 27 posted:The Sonic Boom versions of the characters went beyond just Sonic's neckerchief. Knuckles looks drastically different to his normal design. And then there's the existence of Sticks who is entirely original and tied to Boom. A simple rebrand wouldn't have been possible. The Mega Man show was actually perfectly decent.

Kind of curious how/when Eggman got his hands on him then (the Phi robots’ designation was E-121 which would imply they were built before Omega was)

It was a perfectly serviceable children's cartoon. The Ruby-Spears cartoon was not "good," but we also love "Oh no! He's gonna shoot President Lincoln!" Remember, this is a series where a mainline game introduced a disease called Roboenza. If "robot flu" had been introduced in Fully Charged, people probably would've hated it on principle.

The Maroon Hawk posted:I have a Mac I’d recommend emulating the Dreamcast version. No need to install a bunch of mods to unfuck the graphics. The karting missions were what stopped me from trying to get all 180 emblems as a kid, but if you know how to use drifting to break the speed cap then as long as you make it to the end you’re guaranteed the A rank. Double-tap A to start drifting, and as long as you don’t go in a straight line for more than a few seconds you’ll keep the drift. Any speed you gain from going downhill, hitting a speed pad or using your 20 ring speed boost will be kept a lot longer than if you weren’t drifting. It’s both maddening and really fun, and when you finally succeed it feels great. That’s the 180 emblem challenge in a nutshell, with it being one of the only 3D Sonic games with a decent reward for 100% completion.

Conversely I think they should just move Amy’s Boom design and personality over to her mainline counterpart. They can keep her crush on Sonic (which was still hinted at a few times during the cartoon) but just make her a bit less overt about it.

amy should use her hammer more, especially to dunk on big buff juggernauts, but also continue reaching out to her foes and talking to them

It wasn't Roboenza that you're thinking of. It was the Evil Energy from Mega Man 8 that people theorize is the source of the Maverick Virus. Also,quote:According to an unused concept for Mega Man 10, Bass was going to have the ability to tap into the reserve of Evil Energy he obtained in Mega Man 8, giving him a temporary power up until the stage is cleared or the player gets a game over, but reducing his maximum health once the effect is over.

It's funny that the game they chose to do the robo flu plot is the same one whose roman numeral is X.

Also, "People theorize" has the same taste as "many people argue" on Wikipedia entries. Fan theories are one thing, but Complete Works came out and stated Roboenza was Wily's first crack at what would become the Maverick Virus. They're both Wily-made afflictions that drive robots crazy, so it kinda fits.

The virus mentioned is believed by some to be the Evil Energy. I mean, unless the knowledge base hasn't been updated since the Complete Works dropped, there has not been any 100% confirmation of this. I'm happy to be proven wrong if you can hook me up with an entry.

Ah, I just assumed since Square had their own event Sega would too since they’re also a third party developer. When are those scheduled then? Sony’s conference could also be a possibility since I think Rangers will likely be coming out on PS4 and/or PS5 as well.
