I respect Ian even if I don't like some of what he says and writes, but the time he said The End was a destroyer only on a planetary level when he assumingly wrote the line of The End making "countless stars" fall to it is still kinda funny
Its also funny when, by his logic, The End is weaker than the Eclipse Cannon, Final Egg Blaster, the Hyper-Go-On Blackhole, etc
Higher than Toyoda's view of Amy
I think they're trying to make Sonic more "grounded" but my issue is that they're trying too hard to make Sonic grounded while they completely ignore things going on in past games, yk?Its also funny when, by his logic, The End is weaker than the Eclipse Cannon, Final Egg Blaster, the Hyper-Go-On Blackhole, etc
Let alone Dimensional Tiering
tbf SOMETHING like that had to have went through their heads when developing stuff like Solaris, even with the whole dimensional anchoring thing going on
Honestly it just seemed to me they thought Super Dimensional sounded cool and ran with it lol
I don't know about that. I doubt Ian has any defined power level for Sonic in mind, and I think that he just nerfs or buffs the Sonic cast whenever the plot demands it or whenever it's slightly convenient regardless of it being unnecessary. This seems the most apparent in IDW where sometimes Sonic is a legendary hero able to match Eggman through sheer skill and speed (which is a consistent interpretation with how for the last decade or so Eggman is always looking for new power sources or tools to so much as confront Sonic) but in that very same issue it's revealed that Eggman could beat Sonic at any time with carpet bombing but doesn't do it due to pride...like okay but that's literally something he tried on Sonic in S3&K that failed.
I remember when Ian said that Super Sonic had like City level destructive capacity and I rolled my eyes
Part of this also can happen because certain elements form the past have been retconned, which the current writing staff will happily accept because they don't know how to keep these elements alive while making an engaging story.
are we going into the codex wiki route?
Solaris being 4-D instead 5-D won't make it any more consistent than it already is.
Sonic & Friends
Which is funny when you realise you can literally beat the game without a collecting a single one
Isn't the term Super Dimensional copyrighted by a Franchise? Last I checked it isn't really an official "word" like Trans-Dimensional or smth
I don't recall how Sonic CD's events were retconned to say "it's all the Time Stones" except for maybe the whole "WITHOUT THE TIME STONES!?!?!?!?" thing, which, imo, is just a bad reference at worst
The term is just a generic physics terms that doesn't has a specific meaning when used in general, you can't copyright something like that. You can trademark it, but that is a whole different thing.
Trademark was the word I was looking for.
Like doesn't God Of War also suffer this issue for example? I've seen how it pretty much gets memes on places like Reddit for how big it is on statements and the creator also having Kratos be weaker than fans have him as
They can't exactly retcon the existence of the Infinite 4D Space in Maginaryworld and its temporal component, and they certainly can't retcon the Hypertimeline! That's something they brought upon themselves that they couldn't even change with a rewrite of the story!
Ah! You reminded me, there was a Ship in Ninja Gaiden that was called Super/Hyper Dimensional in the game. But at most it was probably just shifting through higher dimensional places.
Does the temporal component even count for Maginaryworld? It could very well just be a gameplay mechanic like how Shadow's White Space had timed challenges, and we know for a fact White Space has no such thing as time. We also don't know if it's definitively infinite, but I do agree it's def 4DThey can't exactly retcon the existence of the Infinite 4D Space in Maginaryworld and its temporal component, and they certainly can't retcon the Hypertimeline! That's something they brought upon themselves that they couldn't even change with a rewrite of the story!
I say we ignore most of it like we normally do.
The games too, to be honest every media (with exceptions) makes their characters look grounded, with only instances of them being cosmic or more being specifc to final boss or climax.Sonic & Friends
I think it's fun to interpret stuff that isn't explicitly mentioned in the Lore. But they are very much capable of retconning all of this.
Cell's statement helped carried Dragon Ball powerscaling and we love him for it, thank you Cell
Considering the main villain uses technology, it's a matter of time until there is some machine that uses string theory bs.
God help you guys if they don't elaborate on what string theory cuz then you're not getting anything but quantum hax from that
We have entire pages dedicated to discussing that. If it was just a gameplay mechanic it wouldn't be accepted here. "Infinite" is in reference to the amount of dreams it contains.
Another reason they can't retcon it. They provided a bunch of stuff they didn't even know could lead to a Hypertimeline being made, and we simply took it, and made an argument out of it that was, not only accepted by the mods, but also defended in a 15 page war of words.
Yeah I think Sonic characters being 5-D has solid evidence
Man forget that, downgrade everyone to Multi Continental with SoL for the Flynn Agenda
I mean, Boom Eggman of all people mentioned it with one of his machines
downgrade them to average human level with slower than the speed of sound and slower fighting speed bc Flynn once said Mike Tyson beats Sonic iircMan forget that, downgrade everyone to Multi Continental with SoL for the Flynn Agenda
I remember when Ian said Kid Goku beats Super Sonic and I believe it was one of those moments when he was trolling powerscalers lmao
I thought it was about Base Archie being the levels of OG DB.
we have different memories of the same bullshit lol
