- Elise: Yes. The name of the sun god our country honors is Solaris... It is told that Solaris's rage would destroy the world.
- The level is called the End of the World
- Eggman: Solaris flung the Chaos Emeralds to the distant corners of this distorted world.
- From the guide book: Bathing them in a brilliant yellow, Super Sonic stands ready to fight Solaris for the fate of the world.
When they refer to the world they mean universe.
- End of the World is the final Action Stage of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). In this Action Stage, all playable characters in the game (save for Blaze and Sonic) work together in order to gather all seven Chaos Emeralds and resurrect Sonic before Solaris can completely destroy the fabric of reality. - Tails: There's a tear in the space-time continuum... and it's expanding! If it continues to expand... the fabric of reality will become altered! <— from Sonic Rush.
Fabric of reality means universe.
- Shadow: The time-space rift is expanding... There's no more time, I need to hurry.
The universe is still undergoing its destruction, a multiverse buster would would obliterate the universe without a second thought.
Solaris distorting the world's fabric of reality
Again the world = universe, and the fabric of reality is referred to the universe.
- As a transcendent life form, Solaris possesses a unique state of existence that lets him exist in the past, present and future simultaneously, making him omnipresent throughout time and virtually impossible to defeat unless he is attacked simultaneously in all eras.
- Eggman reveals that Solaris is about to bring about the end of the world by destroying time itself, and that, being a transcendental life form, it cannot be defeated in the present as it exists in all timelines, so defeating it in the present would do nothing.
These two paragraphs contradict themselves, the first one says that he exists in all timelines and the next one says he exists in all eras, proving there's no consistency between timelines and eras.
This makes no sense at all, the info that are on wiki's, guides, context clues and other in game statements are literally pointing to universal. Even the feat is only universal+. Yet one statement is taken super literally when it's contextually incorrect. You keep saying that it's head canon when timelines and eras mean the same thing in 06 even though I'm giving evidence that these characters are literally saying them. It's not head canon it's fact, what's hean canon is assuming the plot takes place across multiple timelines when it doesn't. Timelines don't change other timelines and even if they do in OTHER fictions, there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE that's the case. If it was true that other timelines affect each other, then crisis city wouldn't exist in an alternate dimension after 06. Stop trying to deny evidence by saying it's head canon when you know it wrong.
And before I get to the rest, the flood analogy. Explain this if a character is stated to destroy the universe but is taking a while to destroy even a solar system, are they universal? If it's stated that they can destroy the universe why would they only say the fate of the solar system? It's quite literally what Eggman's statement is. If a multiverse is about to be destroyed then it's the fate of the multiverse at stake not the universe. It's so weird how people keep desperately grasping onto Eggman's one statement and using it as some kind of word of God, but if it was another verse a statement like that would be completely disregarded.
It's so simple if characters mean eras when they say timelines, then Eggman's statement is wrong. Solaris was only shown destroying the universe. He's stated over and over to be a threat to the world, which is the universe. The guide book is self explanatory and never mentions a multiverse. Time and space itself =/= multiverse, it could literally be able to put holes in space time. Solaris eating dimensions for lunch is low 2-C, I eat planets for lunch that doesn't mean I'm solar system level or I eat stars for lunch that doesn't mean I'm multi-solar system or even galaxy level. Solaris takes long to destroy the universe, yeah he was stopped before he achieved his goal but that was after the long exposition and collecting the chaos emeralds. Solaris would have more than enough time to destroy the universe if he was multiverse level, he didn't hesitate to plunge the universe into darkness so why stop there? The guide book says it. Other characters say the world, which is universe.
Solaris is an overhyped character that's carried by a very weak statement. How come no one else has EVER pointed out the timelines misinterpretation? I guess we we should upgrade Bayonetta characters to 2-C because the trinity of realities is stated to be separate dimensions because statements are everything right? I guess we should have 3-A Namek Saga Freeza cause he was stated to destroy the universe. 4-C Saitama. 3-A Kaguya. 3-B Asura. 1-C Alien X. FTL Naruto. 3-A Dante. Tier 1 Godzilla. 2-A bleach and many more. Statements aren't everything, especially if they're contextually wrong and lack feats to prove it.
