Sonic General Discussion Zone Act 1: New Frontiers

[Executor_N0]

Sonic fans never stop to surprise me, they actually started to pin Ian on twitter while discussing the leaks and using that to criticize his work (Even though they didn't play it so they don't know the context, or even what he had to work with). The same day Pokémon had 1 terabyte of leaked information and I have seen Pokémon fans also doing stupid things, why can't those fanbases be "more normal" to how they react to this stuff.

Pinging Ian on leak posts then criticizing him, talk about audacity

 

[McFriesGuy075]

How does these leaks even keep happening? Does someone in the company rat all that stuff out?

something more sensible to do will be like the FNAF fandom, don't look at the leaks

Someone with a reviewer copy decided to leak parts of the game.

Hackers...or probably this.

Depends on the nature. Some of them are leaked due to reviewers not keeping their stuff in secret and breaking NDAs. The SXSG was leaked due to that, a reviewer that decided to share on a twitter account (He even said that he was not showing everything because he wanted them to not find who he was and keep the reviewer copies in the future).

The Pokémon leak was an actual hacker attack, someone was able to steal the data of a higher-up on the company and used that to steal 1tb of data.

People care about pokemon even thought the quality of the games is, not very good

Why tf arent they investigating this with authorities? Doesn't that affect revenue? SEGA does know who they're sending stuff to right?

 

[The_Axiom_of_Virgo]

Unfortunately even if 99.9% of peeps were sincere about a pastime and passion, all it takes is 0.1% to be insincere as well as toxic for a major negative impact to occur similar to a contamination, such is the fickle price on relying on good faith.

Shame really but leaks and douchebagy will never go away.

 

[JJSliderman]

It sucks but on the bright side.
We now have enough pages for a year of Sonic general discussion

 

[The_Unknown_Warrior1]

You know what I find to be frustrating when it comes to asking Ian power scaling related questions? It's that these people think that Ian Flynn is only good for wanking Sonic and Co to a certain level instead of, you know, being one of the writers for the comics and video games that can be used to get insight into the personalities and interests of our favorite characters.

Like how stupid is it that we can directly communicate with a writer of the series and instead of using such a source to gain insight or perspectives on the series, we'd rather harass and bother him over vs brain rot related shit?

 

[Dust_Collector]

"Man I could ask Ian what Team Dark gets up too when not on missions, what each Sonic characters favourite holiday is... nah actually I wanna ask if Chaos Control does it's space-time warping by altering the very concepts of the multiverse and then ask if the multiverse is a infinite dimensional archtype."

That was unironically a question asked btw

Not like us Sonic fans know much about quality

Killed the fandom in a single sentence

 

[RedReaper616]

Unironically my only “powerscaling” question was just asking how much stronger Super Scourge is from Super Sonic because Base Scourge is like, Double Sonic (beat Sonic and Shadow at once, matching their combined force), and Sonic verbatim says Anarchy Beryl provides stronger, longer lasting forms in exchange for the debuff factor. Combining those two small multipliers, by all logic Super Scourge should be at least somewhat significantly above Super Sonic.

And it was mostly due to wondering how Super Scourge stacks up to Dark Enerjak, since the whole Timeline’s kickoff point was Enerjak beating Super Sonic before he gained full control over the Chaos Force, and Super Scourge is the opposite superior being (in my opinion the strongest Super within Archie*) and as such I was curious as to their conflict in Moebius and how that would pan out, narratively.

*Master Mogul, Titan Tails, Chaos Knuckles, Dark Enerjak, etc. are not “Super” Tier characters (in my opinion). Their strength sits in a bracket beyond that encompassing the whole Chaos Force, so I’m not counting characters of that variety when I make that claim.

I feel so ashamed I used to do that kind of thing.

Well MOG still tries

This video about 06 glitches alone should tell you why we, as Sonic fans, shouldn't talk shit about something which doesn't have quality

Exactly

We can still criticize other franchises while enjoying our garbage, but we certainly can't pretend to be objective and claim Sonic is better.

But to be honest Sonic is better than Pokemon

Like others have said don't think we have much room to talk about the quality of Pokemon, throwing stones in a glass house and all that even if recently we've been eating good.

I'm gonna be honest, that's still an utterly waste of money as much as the powerscaling questions.

 

[Dust_Collector]

This is crazy, base game Sonic Generations already had a pretty substainsal amount of alt routes and yet Shadow's portion of the game is gonna have the most of any Sonic game, not just 3D but any. Crazy.

They both suck, but Pokemon generally sucks in a "low effort corporate cashgrab" kind of way while Sonic is in more of a "we have no idea how to give our fans what they want" kind of way. I'm obviously being hyperbolic when I say they suck because they're two of my favorite series. I absolutely still love both. At their peak, they're just absolutely spectacular.

Me when it comes to needing a demo for Sonic x Shadow Generations:

 

[ShrekAnakin]

SB asked him about conceptual stuff in Generations again in a BK and Ian said "just play SXShadow Gens when it comes out". NGL, very understantable reponse.

Goes to show Sonic Team and the crew don't care about powerscaling. Mostly.

I've been saying this recently, but Sonic's biggest problem as a series right now is that fans have too much control and influence over the series right now. The series is at a good enough spot right now, and Year of Shadow has been fantastic, but the fans just have too much control that can be abused really easily.

 

[MysticMania]

Honesltly Ian and Kyle should be allowed to send tactical nukes to anyone who asks them power scaling questions

Every person who works on Sonic and has a social media should be allowed 1 bomb per method of public contact, really
