Cutscene damage.The whole rings damage Transferal thing is a real double edged sword, it’s cool they can survive things up to 6-D but it makes “they survive hits from x enemy” less impactful as durability feats.

You can argue most Sonic characters are sort of glass canons as a result, which is a fair and thematically appropriate weakness to have considering their status as speedsters. More was gained than lost overall. The fact that they can hurt their opponents with physical attacks without hurting themselves still means their durabillity scales. Sonic especially makes up for it with his endurance, willpower, and having the most amount of rings.The whole rings damage Transferal thing is a real double edged sword, it’s cool they can survive things up to 6-D but it makes “they survive hits from x enemy” less impactful as durability feats.
They were always lightning bruisers,not fragile speedsters.You can argue most Sonic characters are sort of glass canons as a result, which is a fair and thematically appropriate weakness to have considering their status as speedsters.

That's the neat part. You don't.The rings seem kinda odd to gauge. If a Moto Bug & Shadow hit base Sonic in gameplay the result is the same,he loses rings. We know who is more powerful,but how do you measure how much force it would take for him to lose some from a narrative & not a gameplay standpoint? Someone with equal or greater stats?
I'm mean,he ate a Spirit Bomb from The End/Supreme while unconscious,but a random infantry class Badnik wouldn't even scratch him,let alone make him lose rings.That's the neat part. You don't.
I’m talking whether them needing rings to last in their Super States is a game mechanic or an actual thing in lore.The rings seem kinda odd to gauge.

Now that rings AND IDW are both canon, I think the latter is pretty reasonable, but we still have several instnces of Sonic going Super without rings and/or without the time limit being a factor, so I don't blame anyone for believing either could be trueI’m talking whether them needing rings to last in their Super States is a game mechanic or an actual thing in lore.
Yep, as he went Super without a single ring in his debue no lessSpeaking of rings though, do y’all still have the Super States needing them as a “game mechanic”?
Depends on the power of the one hitting, Supreme takes 12 rings out of Sonic in Frontiers, and Shadow only 4 to 5 in Prime, so it depends on how powerful the blow being taken is in comparison to the one taking the hitThe rings seem kinda odd to gauge.

I mean......in all lore moments he goes without rings....like in 06, where he went Super while dead, so....no ringsNow that rings AND IDW are both canon, I think the latter is pretty reasonable, but we still have several instnces of Sonic going Super without rings and/or without the time limit being a factor, so I don't blame anyone for believing either could be true
Only Mario can get cartoony gag feats.
It's time I do sth I should've done YesterdayBtw. Completely unrelated. But if you go back to page 1 of this discussion thread.
It's VERY fitting that's the Sonic Channel artwork that started this thread. It all really DOES come full circle, huh?
Minus a couple exeptions here n' there. You'll hurt yourself, if you directly strike anywhere at Diablon or Biolizard's body, minus their weakpoint.The fact that they can hurt their opponents with physical attacks without hurting themselves still means their durabillity scales.
And it depends on how many rings he's carrying at the time.so it depends on how powerful the blow being taken is in comparison to the one taking the hit
Not really.Apart from Frontiers, is there other evidence to prove that Increase in base speed/strength = Increase in Super State speed/strength?
The too many cooks in the kitchen set up really kicks in with the rings shit, and Super forms having been timed out in IDW.Now that rings AND IDW are both canon, I think the latter is pretty reasonable, but we still have several instnces of Sonic going Super without rings and/or without the time limit being a factor, so I don't blame anyone for believing either could be true
Sonic......no contest, Cyber Corruption is OPAnyways I have a fun question for those of you who played shadow gens.
A hypothetical doom powered super shadow vs super sonic 2 who do you think would win?
Assuming the power ups stack Shadow would be super freaking strong.Anyways I have a fun question for those of you who played shadow gens.
A hypothetical doom powered super shadow vs super sonic 2 who do you think would win?
I’m gonna throw another bone to Shadow and assume this is a current Shadow with his Doom Powers.Anyways I have a fun question for those of you who played shadow gens.

My favorite wins, your favorite losesAnyways I have a fun question for those of you who played shadow gens.

I’d argue the general escalation we see in series would be. I mean, Perfect Chaos needs Full Power Adv. Super Sonic, which by all logic should be equal to Full Power Modern Super Sonic, since “all his power originates from the Emeralds.” Yet that’s not the case. Modern Super Sonic at his peak is able to harm the End, even without a power boost, and that’s the “Second Strongest Boss in Sonic history,” behind Solaris. Both draw on the full power of the Emeralds, and yet Modern is just…Superior.Apart from Frontiers, is there other evidence to prove that Increase in base speed/strength = Increase in Super State speed/strength?
Ian's headcanon is wrong. Despite writing for The End, dude loves to downplay it. Thankfully he isn't the only writter for Frontiers.I’m pretty sure Flynn put it at #2, behind Solaris.

Sega to Ian in that particular instanceIn fairness, Sega did an absolute shoulder-check and basically gave him the finger the moment The End "appeared" in Superstars
Didn't Ian argue that was just a random space object? (Tbf, The End should've been trapped in Cyberspace during the time).In fairness, Sega did an absolute shoulder-check and basically gave him the finger the moment The End "appeared" in Superstars
Ah yes, I remember all the random purple satellites portrayed throughout the franchise KEKDidn't Ian argue that was just a random space object?
Eh, fair. Still doesn't make sense thoTbf, The End should've been trapped in Cyberspace during the time).
LMFAOOO

counting by color and shape......Sonic's Earth would have like, 5 Moons(2 Normal ones shown in Riders, the cracked in half one from Adventure 2 and the Purple and Blue one in Superstars) which.......i don't know what implications this have tbhAh yes, I remember all the random purple satellites portrayed throughout the franchise KEK
NONE! WE ARE DONE EDITING THE SIZE OF SONIC'S EARTH OK???counting by color and shape......Sonic's Earth would have like, 5 Moons(2 Normal ones shown in Riders, the cracked in half one from Adventure 2 and the Purple and Blue one in Superstars) which.......i don't know what implications this have tbh
The End said that relative to Sonic’s memory, which does not contain Solaris. Despite the weird reference in TSR, no one remembers. See Sonic’s first encounter with Silver after 06, (they didn't remember each other at all and this was their “first time” meeting), and Shadow Generations (Shadow doesn't remember Mephiles, had thus Solaris, at all)."I saw your mind as you ran through my prison. You have fought machines and gods, they were mighty, they were finite, I am infinite."
Ian wrote that by the way and Solaris is still the strongest apparently...
Based on…?Ian's headcanon is wrong. Despite writing for The End, dude loves to downplay it. Thankfully he isn't the only writter for Frontiers.
Blaze remembers Crisis City though, doesn't she? On top of that, The End scales to a Super Sonic amped beyond anything he's ever been before. That alone scales it above Solaris.The End said that relative to Sonic’s memory, which does not contain Solaris. Despite the weird reference in TSR, no one remembers.
.......pfftNONE! WE ARE DONE EDITING THE SIZE OF SONIC'S EARTH OK???
The End tanked 4 Peak Super Form opponents at once and they couldn't beat it no matter what they tried, needing to seal him.....Solaris was taken down by 3Based on…?
