I know people probably (re: definitely) don't care about the story in a Sonic game, but it's funny to me that Shadow feels like he got the most lovingly crafted story beats compared to Sonic, whose story is ironically the least important in a title bearing his name beyond the fact that Elise likes him by the end. Though I suppose the same can't be said for stages.

Generally, I'd say that there's good aspects of a Shadow-focused story in Adventure 2, Heroes* and StH, and somehow 06 manages to synthesize those into an almost coherent whole, and the "almost" comes more from this being 06 than the story being particularly badly written or anything *Omega imo is a slamdunk success character to pair with Shadow because he counters Shadow's "but what if I am an Android" idiocy with "BEING A ROBOT RULES ACTUALLY" and answers his "but what if I turn on humanity for they are scum..." with "FRONT ROW SEATS I'LL BRING THE POPCORN". As an aside, I really should have done that the last time, but I'm awful at self-promotion: I did a side project for the Randomizer Megathread! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyHc15eYboo first video https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4029513&userid=169970#post531328382 link to post (and thread ofc) And I started another! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdMcr8__qIg Hot off the presses!

 Wave Ocean Hard If you haven't really been watching Hard Mode videos, I don't blame you, but I strongly recommend giving this one a shot - it's among the most improved stages in Hard Mode, and also one of the funnest videos in general!  Dusty Desert Hard Some thought it couldn't be done including me but they were proven wrong

Yeah that was really funny. Sometimes the jankiness of this game just creates something magical.

Simon, it's been a hell of a ride. I admire your stamina and patience most of all, I think. It's been an honour joining you for some of this long and gruelling adventure. So when do the speedrun attempts start?

Your clickbait thumbnail needs a big red arrow with a yellow border. Maybe have Sonic pogging in the corner too.

Am I crazy, or are some parts of the flame core layout (particularly the cave areas near the wall running segments) similar to level segments in Shadow the Hedgehog?

Simply Simon posted:You mean the lava lakes with moving platforms? Can you timestamp what you mean? I'm pretty familiar with Shadow but didn't notice anything standing out in particular. The platform set at 0:18 is a good example of the "stack of rock platforms next to wallrun used to move around the area" that feels very familiar from several black arms levels.

Those levels are terrible and so is Flame Core, so there's another similarity.Dabir posted:are you training very hard or very hardly training (for Silver, however, I had to take a harder train indeed)

Yeah, that would be the one, it ruled. Same for the one in the city are where you run on narrow skyscraper paths. I would say that HALF of Unleashed is a good game. The second half is jazz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq4OGEZ4iks And that's a wrap for Sonic! All of Silver is already recorded (minus some S-Ranks I have to redo), but I might take a bit of a break and build up a backlog of those videos. Always takes a lot of time to edit long group videos, especially for Silver's long-rear end levels. While we're waiting, a question - I've split the Kingdom Valley video into one live + blind one and a post-commentary S-Rank one. Most of Silver will have to be post-commentary S-Ranks because 4/5 are actually very interesting wrt to the challenge of getting said S-Ranks. Do you prefer those as separate videos, so you can watch first one then the other, or do you prefer having one big video so you can take a whole update in at once? I realize a lot of people are going to watch videos on the side while doing other stuff, so it being just one big one would help that habit. No judgment.

Yeah I also like both, but I really liked the Kingdom Valley one with the analysis, but the level supports it. Man, Aquatic Base always gives me PS1 Spiderman flashbacks, that was a good underwater base.
