Sonic General Discussion Zone Act 1: New Frontiers

I'm watching the scene and it doesn't seem dismissive at all.

Also with the Flame Core Mephiles fight, it's not like Shadow just outright ditched his team. He chose to go after Mephiles cuz he thought himself the only one strong enough to do so. It's not like he just left them and told them to go away and not get involved or pushed them away.
He was dismissive. He quickly told her he was only there because the president told him and that was all.

Sorry but this paragraph is pure headcanon. Nothing in the game says he was worried about them, that's your headcanon speaking.
 
I'm ngl we can get literally NOTHING from this crossover and I'd be happy.

The amount of seethe this crossover has generated from the powerscaling community is funny as hell to see, because for some reason people can't just let a fun crossover be a fun crossover.
Flash and Sonic being buddies is worth the entire thing tbh, screw the justice league, i want a Sonic & Flash comic lol

What?? Literally in the same game they were established to be friends. That isn't headcanon, that's just simple fact. Ignore the fact that I didn't even say that, I only said that he prolly thought he was the only person that could defeat Mephiles and that's completely in character. He's literally the guy of their team.

Also, that's not exactly the same kind of dismissive I was talking about. Of course Shadow wouldn't just leave Rouge to hang out there. Feels like he's just being standoffish. He was already there and saved her so he isn't being dismissive in the sense that he's going to not listen to a plan and do things foolishly on his own to a new threat. He obviously cares/is worried for his team. He literally saves Rouge from a fall and they were established to be rather close in the same game. He's even visibly saddened to hear that, in the future, Omega is the one that locks him up.

Shadow and Rouge aren't friends and 06 does not establish that. They're allies that trust each other and sometimes have common goals, but that's all. Shadow's only friend was Maria, and that's stated several times by Sega. This is something every Shadow fall must learn to accept as a core part of his character.

Shadow is standoffish and dismissive. He dismissed when he rescued her, and he went to fight Mephiles alone. You seem to create narratives to justify things that happen in the game rather than actually looking at what happened.

And you're going to believe Sega who has consistently mischaracterized their own characters? Were you born yesterday or something?

I'm sorry for having basic media literacy. It seems that you literally didn't play/watch the game or absorb any of the nuance. This isn't even a valid argument. You practically ignored all what I said. I didn't make up any narrative. It was literally in the game. It LITERALLY happened. Are you trying to rewrite history or something? Have you ever watched/played the game?

Dude, you are the FIRST one to call foul and make accusatory statements towards me over a simple disagreement that could be easily mended by doing some research. Unless you come to me with a valid argument or any good point, methinks I'll leave this alone. You can think what you want. I don't care.
 

holy fuark, 8 pages out of nowhere
Bro literally has a move called Bolt of Lightning, like c'mon get serious
mistranslation me thinks
Rings are 100% canon and nothing is changing my mind about it....
There's also Sonic using a ring in 1 of his Sonic Battle moves
The Tails and Cyborg team-up seems to be the lamest to me unless we see Tails keep some of this tech, but HA, that would literally never happen
no e123 omega included, huh
AwBqh1h.png

Some people hate references for some reason
Some people like them too much...
Status quo must be preserved...
Mainting the agenda is our 1st priority...
Except Shadow's inhibitors are supposed to be a special thing. They're the Ultimate Life Form unfiltered. Just like Super Sonic represents wishes comes true, unhibited Shadow is the true Shadow. That's why Sega doesn't want the form to lose its impact.
wonder if that's the reason why HERO/DARK Shadow hasn't appeared in ages since that simularly get called his true hidden power
Bro would've been a killer Baseball player!
too op for space jam

Omega is wrong. Nothing in the mandates say Sonic doesn't want to kill Eggman. He literally trapped Erazor. He just doesn't go around seeking evil to defeat.

Here, read the part about Sonic and Eggman's relationship written by Toyoda:
reminds me of what Sonic says in the Sonic Central and Supersonic Q&As
But on the other hand just speaking from a practical standpoint bros brain is going to be mush after the first million years let alone literal eternity so his punishment still seems excessive. Then again somebody could rub the lamp again unless Sonic's wish made that impossible so maybe he won't truly be stuck forever just for however many millenia it takes for someone to find his lamp.
if only he threw Erazor's lamp in a fire pit or sth...

Excuse me that I respect and consider what the actual owners and creators of the character say constantly about the character, but the truth is, Shadow and Rouge are not friends. They're allies. Shadow straight up says so in Battle. In every single character profile Shadow is stated to not have friends, across literal years. Shadow does not "hang out" with Rouge as friends do. He doesn't actively seek her aid. He will fight her if his interests don't align (Rivals 2). This refusal to accept the character's canon characterization is why Silver was so OOC until the writers realize their mistake. Honestly it's a good thing Sega is so overprotective of Shadow based on how many of his "fans" still don't understand him.

Yes, I have played 06. Several times. Nothing in that game goes against the fact Shadow and Rouge are trusted allies, not friends. Maybe you need to reply the game without any bias, and without dismissing Sega's intention for the character.
It feels ironic or sorta hypocritical to create a narrative of someone creating narratives.
What I do find ironic is how you preach against any sorta of aggressive arguments in general, yet here you are being passive aggressive for no reason. I didn't invent a single narrative.

You act like people can't change their opinion between games. Battle was before Sonic 06. Hell, Rivals has dubious canonicity and it's never truly referenced to again. Also, you literally say that the writers made mistakes for Silver, yet all of the sudden Shadow is the exception to this rule? You may have played the game, but you have no clue of any nuance in character writing whatsoever. You say nothing goes against the fact that they're trusted allies, not friends. But also nothing goes against the contrary, either. You play with extremes far too often and fail to see the grey.

Don't act like your view on the matter is somehow more valid just because you see things differently. You sound like an egoist asshat despite doing the bare minimum of character analysis and making these claims yet ignoring context not only in character, but from a meta-perspective as well given Sonic Teams' track history with handling characters. It seems to me that you don't even understand the character aside from the surface level slop that you are graciously eating from a team of people who constantly missed the mark in terms of their characters.

Anyway, this was a waste of time. Arguing with you is like arguing with slightly sentient wall. That was made clear to me. Have a good day.

Rivals is literally canon and is Silver's introduction. It was never dubiously canon outside of western writers being confused. And about people "chasing", nothing shows Shadow changed between those two games.

Western writers made mistakes, because they rejected Silver's characterization in Japanese games like 06 and Rivals because they thought their version was better than Sega. Something you're doing right now. I am not "playing with extreme" I am telling you what Sega says in every profile. Here:
Shadow is always on the prowl for dangers to the world. While he has no love for it or its people, they were cherished by his one friend: the late Maria Robotnik (Dr. Eggman’s cousin). He protects Earth in honor of her memory; willing to do anything, and fight anyone, to ensure no one threatens the world Maria cherished. While Shadow prefers to be alone, he allows himself to trust in the occasional support of Rouge and Omega. They are the only ones he can count on for help that won’t question his methods.

Shadow's Sonic Channel profile where it says he likes "nothing":

Sonic can reach Shadow more than Rouge according to Toyota:
In fact, perhaps Sonic is the only person who can get so up close and personal with Shadow and say something to him that reaches his heart (though it often doesn’t)

So tell me, how am I playing with "extremes" when I am literally saying what Sega intends for Shadow?

I am acting like my view is more valid because that's literally what Sega consistently says about their OWN character. Sega is the one saying everything I am saying, not me. The only egoist here is you, placing your own opinion above the creators of the character because you can't self-reflect and admit your interpretation of the character might be wrong. That the creators of the character are the one who don't understand him.

That's real egoism in my view.

I'm not reading any of this, dude. Move on.
 
Shifting on from this wretched topic, what do you guys hope to see in the new crossover comic series? Anything you guys are looking forward to in particular?

something about the speed force, or how they explain the chronology of this into the timeline of...both series...and character interactions.
 
Then stop replying. You're the one picking up fights, calling me names, and then running when things get heated.
So you want me to stand around arguing for a million more years than to drop it and be done with it? Of course I'm going to drop it when things get heated. It isn't worth the time. You were the first one to get aggressive for no reason. You always do this, shift blame onto other people (as if others don't also see it), and "win" by default of people being tired of having to deal with you. You're just exhausting. That's all you are. Take accountability. Either way, I'm not doing this in general chat. Reply to me in DMs if you have anything meaningful to stay. Otherwise, stop poking and prodding. You're just being annoying at this point and trying to prolong this. Quit it. Just drop it. I'm done. Anything else is just going to be ignored. I just wanted you to hear this in particular.

No, what I want is for you to stop replying to me with endless variations of "I am going to ignore you" "not replying to a wall" "ignoring you" but never doing so. If you don't want to argue you can just stop replying to me, rather than make these indirect and honesty childish posts.

You are the only one who called me names. All I did was say you had a narrative of Shadow different from what Sega and the game actually shows, and that got you mad and you started to insult me by calling me a selfish egoist and talking about how much you hate debating me while still doing so.

So stop being a thread monitor and actually do what you say rather than talking about how you're going to ignore me for the thousandth time while going back to call me insults once more.
 
They mention the possibility of obtaining the Anti-life Equation using the Chaos Emeralds, What's the weakest instance of the Anti-Life Equation in the comics for DC, or is that just going to be a 1-A feat outright?

Mmm, we could make up that this is the weakest version of the anti-life equation.

Seems to be a constant according to the profile. So always 1-A.

Here's my admittedly cringe wish list for this crossover.

1. I want Eggman to be a problem for literally everyone throughout a good portion of this comic run. I would love to see Eggman pull a "Earth isn't yours to conquer" against Darkseid while also trying to gather the chaos emeralds himself which gets him into conflict with the heroes. I also would like to see Eggman pull off one insane thing before he takes the L and inevitably gets sidelined like for example getting a bio data scan of Superman or something before using said data to create his own kryptonite from scratch or finding a way to to sap portions of Flashes speed force energy like gorilla Grodd before using said energy to buff Metal Sonic.

2. That said I still want Darkseid to be the main focus as far as antagonists go so I only want Eggman to completely steal the show once before he gets put in a more minor role for the rest of the story.

3. I want to see a chaos emerald transformation for this Darkseid avatar since I'm curious about what ungodly abomination would be created by mixing the negative power of the chaos emeralds with literally evil incarnate. Although this transformation would have to be Darkseid with six emeralds since I don't think any amount of plot armour is saving the cast if Darkseid gets the anti life equation.

Aside from this I don't want much else as I'm looking forward to the charecter interactions more than the plot.
