Sonic General Discussion Zone Act 1: New Frontiers

Don't worry, my early writing and RPing makes me want to crawl into a hole lmfao
Oh trust me. Take a w i l d guess on what franchise I started RPing in and you'll find your answer. Even excluding that, MAN. I cringe at my own RP stuff from a year/few years ago due to my philosophy on writing having changed from then to now.

When I'm solo writing it's usually OK, by oh my god my RPing was horrible lmfao
 
It's really cool hearing about things people enjoy.
For real. RP was a cool way to express my desire for writing. School didn't make it easy because, well, it didn't feel creative and more "write this about this". Tried Creative Writing in college and it just felt the same way high school did with no real creative outlet.
 
Yeah, I've been doing it amateur-style (due to RP) since middle school. I'm 25 now and still doing it up. It's awesome. I actually wrote a couple chapters of a Shadow fanstory I'm working on.
That's great, can you show me some stuff?
I can show some stuff that I made, I have absolutely 0 shame in what I write, not Sonic related at all
 

Gotta say that was a fun issue.

Some highlights from the issue are Sonic's understandable concern over Orcas (they just have it out for him). Orbot and Cubot being loving to Sage was just a plain adorable follow through on Sage wanting to meet them in Frontiers and Eggman showing a tiny bit of real concern to Sage before sending her to retrieve Metal Sonic was also nice to see.

Really the only downside to this issue is that Sage seems to have lost, like a solid 80% of her powers that she showed in Sonic Frontiers which I say because she is sent to Sonic and Belle via a capsule rather than just teleporting to them and she doesn't even bother trying to help fight Metal Sonic. Which...fine whatever I was hoping only the cyberspace abilities like summoning Titans and using cybercages would go after Frontiers but IDW loves minimalism in character power sets so I'm not surprised .
 
It was actually Sonic first, Undertale right after.
Mines has just been undertale for a minute, shit is highkey embarrassing to say
I don't mind. I can send it here if that's fine by the rules. It's in a Google Doc.
Sure! I don't mind, you can send it in DMs or here if you want to, preferably in PM since I can just send my stuff straight up

I still do a bit of Undertale stuff, but now with a fully-formed brain media literacy. I'll send it in PMs for now.
 
I wonder if anyone in IDW's writing room buys the "Sonic has no superpowers outside of running fast" thing I've seen some fans push
PEOPLE PUSH THAT TAKE?? DID THEY EVEN WATCH FRONTIERS?? SOBBB IM CRYING 😭 😭 😭 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
No, they can't. They have to have the baseline knowledge of Sonic to know he doesn't just have "runs fast" the power

Orbot and Cubot trying so hard to make them a proper family lol, I love it

Tbh this is the same comic that has Team Chaotix sitting in traffic when they could just... run to where they need to go. Disregarding our statistics entirely, they still have a degree of superspeed that makes waiting in traffic a non-issue lol
 
I thought super sonic made the titians go boom????????
I'm only on chaos island of frontiers(pinball sucks, still stuck on it) but can sage summon the titians even if they've been destroyed???
 
Unironically, not me lmfao, I've never dabbled in UT Roleplay because I was already wise enough to avoid the wider fanbase of things lol
Lol, yeah I can't relate to RPing Undertale either. But hey, I'm not judging
Oh well there goes all our souls, sorry everyone /silly

But yeah I don't RP much if at all anymore since allat was years ago but it's still funny to think about past stuff
 
but it's still funny to think about past stuff
Especially the very concept of me seeing Sans as the coolest character in Undertale when Frisk exists 🥱 ...So long as Toby doesn't ruin them by saying the player was 100% possessing and empowering them thus removing a lot of things that make them interesting. Plus they're basically like Undertale's Sonic when you think about it!!!
 
Actually, IDW doesnt seem to use many of Sonic's abilities? I guess technically he has used Boost, maybe? And kicks and slide kicks. But like, how much has he stomped? Or even bounced?

To an extent, games are limiting factor so many abilities just do not get transferred between each other. I wont be shocked if Cyloop is gone in next big game too, they seem to want to avoid 'power creep' by limiting Superstars Emerald powers, nulling Doom Shadow, burning out Cyber Super Sonic etc. Sage being nerfed fits. She did get addition that she can do million calculations in a second.

It wasn't an addition, she already had the capability and she even mentioned she was doing millions of calculations in Frontiers. The extremely small timeframe is just confirmed outright now, which is funny because there was a lot of copium going on regarding that back in Frontiers.

Yeah, I meant the confirmation of the small time frame. There wasnt time frame mentioned in Frontiers, now its just said to be millions calculations in seconds.

unfortunately she was hesitant when in a cave with multiple paths when she had no info on it, oh nononononono

Tbh It’s probably better not to overthink it. Writers generally don’t prioritize strict power consistency and are more focused on telling the story they want in the moment for the sake of it. Powerscaling is often treated as secondary or even ignored alltogether SMH. You see the same thing if you scrutnize something like Dragon Ball or Mario, once you start comparing abilities across arcs or games, you immediately run into questions like “Goku could have solved this instantly” or “Mario has already done something like this in a previous game” At a certain point, the narrative just overrides internal scaling (Tho sometimes it's not good because that creates a plot hole).

To be fair she already said in the game that her calculations are based the available circumstances. She is an AI afterall, not a wizard with Precognition. (Although it's not a big of a problem for her)

Those calculations would still be done with an infinite amount of information
 
"Varies. Low Multiverse level (When using the Master Emerald to transform, Super Neo Metal Sonic was overwhelming both Sonic and Knuckles at the same time. Used Chaos Energy from the Chaos Emeralds to achieve the transformation as well, making him far stronger than his peak<a href="https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_Sonic_(Game)#cite_note-AP1-70"><span>[</span>Statistics Values 2<span>]</span></a>), potentially Complex Multiverse level at his peak (Due to possessing the combination of Sonic and Shadow's Biodata, he should feasibly be able to reach the peak power that the Chaos Emeralds provide due to them<a href="https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_Sonic_(Game)#cite_note-AP2-71"><span>[</span>Statistics Values 3<span>]</span></a>) | Complex Multiverse level (After combining its Data with the power of Chaos, Modern Eggman believed it to be unbeatable by anything he could plan of, which would include a potential Final Egg Blaster and had doubts that the Chaos Emeralds could match its power. After being complete, it took the combined might of Super Sonic, Super Tails, and Super Knuckles to defeat it, with Super Sonic alone being unable to damage Metal Overlord, to the point Eggman described Sonic's solo attacks as useless. Teams Dark, Rose and Chaotix needed to buy time for Team Sonic to charge up with the Emeralds, an extreme rarity among even bosses fought with the super form. As such, Metal Overlord should scale to the highest echelon of super form power<a href="https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_Sonic_(Game)#cite_note-AP2-71"><span>[</span>Statistics Values 3<span>]</span></a>) | At least Low Multiverse level (Master Overlord is referred to as its ultimate form, and is stronger than Super Neo Metal Sonic" uhhh
if he's using the master emerald to transform, wouldnt that make him at BARE MINIMUM super sonic level?????? what????
 
So, any of you buy the rumours that Sonic's gonna have some kind of announcement in the partners direct tomorrow. Mayhaps they'll finally give us what we've all been asking for, Sonic Lost World on the Switch / Switch 2? (Honestly as one of the 10 people who actually really liked Lost World I would welcome this with open arms)
 
Everyone has been piggybacking Sonic Eclipse, CW DLC and Unleashed port rumors.

Tho maybe Sonic stuff in State of Play rumors too.

...When was last Sonic Central? They kinda stopped those.

At the very least, I can see them revealing the next batch of Crossworlds DLC stuff. I just hope that rumor suggesting Billy Hatcher ends up true...

I want Alis Landale Phantasy Star (1987 , Master System ) in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, but besides that I don't have too many specific hopes.

Also, the Bowser gif pfp is cool.

Only Echidnas can utilize the full power of the Master Emerald, which is confirmed by a note either on the ME's page or Knux' page or elsewhere, so no. Using the ME does not automatically mean you surpass the Chaos Emeralds' maximum power.
 
In Sonic Speed Simulator, Mecha Sonic's attacks can take Rings away from Super Sonic and Hero/Dark Shadow
(I'm not suggesting any scaling, it's just a curiosity I noticed while playing Speed Simulator horribly on android)
