What up Sonic Squad? It's me the Sonic Boom man. I started work on a profile revision for Boom Metal, I'll likely finish it in a few days it mostly needs references and a few more scans rn. I'll probably do Shadow next cause he and Metal have the least screen time both in the show and in the games so they're the easiest to do. I mean the rest of the main cast soon but my brain won't let me until I finish my rewatch of Boom and considering I'm only on ep 41 after like 7 months... it's gonna be a while til I get around to reworking their profiles. Btw there's a good skill statement for Amy but the source is in French so would I have to get it translated first or could I use it as is?
"Amy est comme la maman du groupe : elle fait bien la cuisine et elle s’occupe de tous ses amis. Véritable reine de l'organisation, elle sait exactement ce dont tous ses amis ont besoin. Mais attention, il ne faut pas se fier à son apparence de gentille fille. C’est une grande combattante qui sait manier les arts martiaux et son marteau géant à la perfection ! "

"Amy is the mother figure of the group. She is a good cook and takes care of all her friends. A true queen of organisation, she knows exactly what they need. But look out, don't be fooled by her nice girl exterior. She is a great combatant who knows how to make use of martial arts and her giant hammer to perfection!"

No idea if this is even a reliable source, but here you go.
 
Burning hot take: Not only does Blaze have more romantic chemistry with Sonic than she does with Silver, but Silver has more romantic chemistry with Espio than he does with Blaze. I don't approve of either ship though. The only Sonic ship I've sort of grown to appreciate (and only recently) is Sonamy. It's good that Amy is no longer an obsessive stalker, but her character became a lot more bland as a result. Actually making her and Sonic a thing could take both of them in a more interesting direction, and would be a huge step for Sega. No longer scared of risks and devellopment

Please no regarding the Sonamy ship. It’s very forced and I don’t want such a toxic thing in my Sonic games.

Fair enough. I don't mind it anymore though. Frontiers does hint at it and Sonic and Amy have some adorable moments in IDW that made me warm up to the idea.

It isn't toxic in anyway, the only argument for it being toxic doesn't exist nowadays

respect, IDW is weirdly enough part of what made me really like this Ship again as of recently, specially with that one panel where Sonic teases them
not that it matters since Sonic and Amy are the only thing this franchise will ever try for Romance

I actually disagree with this notion, i think that Amy is fine as is nowadays, really like her more caring side showing while still having a bit of a nerve i don't think she was ever a stalker as well, i really dislike Sonic Battle Amy tho

IDW Comics ruined that entire ship for me and Frontiers is thankfully cut dialogue. It’s clear Ian Flynn and/Evan Stanley is a SonAmy fan as evident with the IDW Comics and his dialogue for Frontiers which makes me unimaginably angry. You can see how forced it is with those two examples (most notably in the comics).

From what I’ve seen, I completely disagree.

The IDW Comics where Ian Flynn wrote and Evan Stanley drew made that ship way too forced. I sincerely hope they never go there.

I used that word to simplify it, but at the absolute lowest points of her characterisation, Amy was actually far worse than a stalker. In Heroes, her motivation should have simply been to help Cream and Cheese find thier lost friends, but they just had to throw in her obsession for Sonic in there, and so she literally attacks Team Sonic in order to somehow get him to marry her? ****** wild

You haven’t been around the corners online I have been then.

Wha-? How? There small moments, but it isn't even a main topic there
Those small moments were put in unnecessarily and were written in a forced manner regarding their relationship. There was the moment where Sonic, Tails, and Tinker all went to talk to Amy about something that definitely put me off. I can’t seem to figure out how to link the image here but it’s not hard to find. Regarding the overarching character of Amy, it’s like Flynn is trying to turn Amy into Sally Acorn and I can’t get behind that.
 
That's what I thought. Never confirmed and therefore no power scaling contradiction here. People can't accept Silver Sonic and Mecha Sonic were initially superior to Metal Sonic for some reason
Because the people who made the game clarify he straight up IS the superior model.

This is backed up by the Encyclospeedia—Quote: “A lumbering mechanical version of Sonic created by Dr. Eggman. Bulkier and less advanced than Metal Sonic, Mecha seems to be pure robot and doesn't possess a sense of self-awareness. He's appeared in several different forms over the years - his attack patterns remain largely unchanged, but it's unclear whether or not his various incarnations are indeed the same machine.

Appears in: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit), Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure (cameo) and Sonic Pocket Adventure
.”

Metal is just flat out superior on debut. (Which is part of why there was internal confusion as to where CD takes place internally, as the quote from the dev goes over.) So straight up, Metal > Mecha.
 
I like Sonic x Jet.

I'm never deep into shipping. There's nothing bad of it, of course, it is just something I don't put much thought into, for myself. But if I mentally obsess over characters enough they better ******* watch out

That was actually a callback to the scene in Adventure 2, in the actual boss fight she asks about frog and chocola to him, that was more of a joke callbacl than anything serious

I mean, same to you

Tinker? Dude, Tinker never even met Amy and Tails at all, he was restored back to Eggman while they were busy on Angel Island

I can’t seem to figure out how to link the image here but it’s not hard to find. Regarding the overarching character of Amy, it’s like Flynn is trying to turn Amy into Sally Acorn and I can’t get behind that.
Nope, that is.......simply not true, the connections between both characterwise is surface level at most, "Sally is a leader" is legit the only one i ever saw being made
 
Oh boy, shipping discourse. Might as well throw in my own two cents.

Personally in regards to Sonamy, I think they should bring back the whole chasing dynamic but make it a healthier and more mutual arrangement, like a game between them. After all if the main character’s whole thing is running, who would be a better love interest than someone who loves running with him?

I personally still prefer Sonaze and Sonadow as actual pairings, but they don’t have the same running-loving dynamic that Sonamy could potentially have.

Random, but, Shadow is listed with Types 1, 2, and 3 of Self-Sustenance. What are the sources for Type 2 and 3 for Shadow? I was able to find Type 1 from the Sonic Heroes manual I think, but not the other two.

Was not aware of those statements. You might wanna head over to the ongoing Low 6-B Sonic thread and give your two cents about Metal Sonic. Since Sonic never manages to harm Metal and can only survive his attacks via rings, Metal could stay 5-A all the way through

I mean it’d have to be that specific Model of Metal (as the other Metal’s we see after CD aren’t the same, and likely grow alongside Sonic as Stardust Speedway Metal comes back online much later during the events of Sonic 4). Also, could you link the thread?
 
twitter here DIED so i can't see that
“Well, it's something Eggman would do. The timeline between 2 and CD is also unclear, and Yamaguchi, the designer, seems to have envisioned CD being set between 1 and 2, but there is also the contradiction that Metal Sonic's gadgets are more complete and have better performance than Mecha Sonic's in 2.” (TL’d via Google Translate, as it was originally JP.)
 
Tinker? Dude, Tinker never even met Amy and Tails at all, he was restored back to Eggman while they were busy on Angel Island
This is the panel I am talking about. The context is that Sonic, Tails, and Tinker went to Amy regarding if the Restoration HQ would take Tinker in due to her origins at the time being unknown and here is immediately how Amy greeted Sonic:

Knowing this is just off of the Metal Virus saga where there was already a ton of forced SonAmy moments, I personally found this panel to really set me off.

Not entirely. Within the IDW Comics, you see Amy leading a resistance that constantly flirts/cracks jokes at Sonic. Adding into how Amy counters Sonic's ego with her own sass A LOT, it's eerily similar to how Sally was written in the Archie Comics. This isn't a one time thing either. It's constant through the run. Ignoring that, I wish Amy received the role as the leader of that resistance naturally instead of being handed it to her.

Brazilian here, twitter, as i said, IS DEAD HERE, i literally can't see anything

like?

like....? also all the times she isn't?

you mean how like Tails does sass with Sonic? that is a REALLY weak connection dude

This isn't a one time thing either. It's constant through the run.
prove it

Ignoring that, I wish Amy received the role as the leader of that resistance naturally instead of being handed it to her.
i would argue that Knuckles of all people being the leader was.....silly already, and he was "handed" it

with her we can see how much she grew since the classic days where she mostly followed, plus she was the leader of team rose, so she has a little experience with it
 
Speaking of Amy being boring now
she isn't tho

, I share the opinion that Amy focusing 90% of her powers on tarot cards is really damn idiotic of a decision on the writers’ part.
.....have you saw IDW? she like, never uses her cards for battle there lol

Sega wanting to explore an very interesting aspect of her char that was never explored is a W in my book
