Then people need to suck it the f@&k up, I didn't see a bunch of losers having a meltdown towards the OP of Arceus' upgrade to 1-A.

Or is a green name all it takes for people to hide their tails between their legs and be b!+ched into submission? (If you felt attacked by this comment, then yes, I am talking to you)

This smells an awful lot like Ultima and his decision making when it comes to approving characters for 1-A or not. I hate how it all boils down to one person as opposed to a majority vote.

While I fully understand your sentiment and I agree with every flaw that you bring up in the current system, a majority vote also often leads to utter non-sense.

That is true. I will say though, I do wish it was from someone who wasn’t so contradictory when it comes to making these decisions (especially with how definitions and contexts should be viewed when they can easily be interpreted at least another way as well).

You never know. Just look at a lot of characters from Smash Bros. A lot of legal issues were present there yet here we are today with that series.

I think the biggest is, there needs to be at least someone that is passionate enough to continue pushing until they decide to do something about it. The question is, who would be passionate enough among the higher ups about Archie Sonic to do that?

I'm not familiar with Sonic Speed Simulator, so can you elaborate on the greedy aspects of the game? Just to satisfy my curiosity.

Starting off, the game is plagued with "FOMO". Fear Of Missing Out. I want to play as Werehog for example, since I am gay, but until Halloween happens again, you can only get them through spending real money, and only when the game has them in a store.
Speaking of stupidity, this game really loves Nintendo and is inspired by their actions, thus, the digital-only game also contains artificial scarcity. There's a mechanic where, if you take enough steps, you're given a Chao Egg. This functions as a loot box, and in it are some stuff + three characters. Sometimes, there will be a finite number of a specific character allowed in the game, referred to as "stock". This is, as some may say, stupid

Speaking of that, this game would get banned on any all-ages websites because it loves grinding and always shows it. You start off in Green Hill Zone, and to move onto the following Zones, you need Rings and a certain level of "character mastery". The latter can be increased through either getting more characters (which is a very tedious process), or via leveling up the ones you currently have (a slow and expensive process, but not as tedious). For example, when I was in New Yoke City Zone, I was ready to move on to Hill Top. But, I needed to spend 1,000,000 Rings to open the gate, and have a Character Mastery of 10. The former isn't too egregious, maybe, but the other is much more difficult to get. I had to use the Auto Run option to have my character run around in circles for about 4 hours, so that I could finally unlock Amy. Of course, in some spaces 8 is less than 10, so I had to keep hunting.

Each Zone has a sort of lobby or starting area. Green Hill has the worst of it, but all of them are ridden with machines used to facilitate the mechanics of SonicSSimulator. However, at almost if not literally all of these, the game encourages you to spend real money to "speed up the process" of things.

I could get into more, but there's literally so much that it's hard to know where to start and stop.
 
Made a matchup for High 3-A team Sonic if people are interested.

Thread 'Team Battle: The Guardians vs Team Sonic'

With Sonic characters now High 3-A, I wanted to try this match out, especially since team battles are a thing we can do and I'm looking for potential W.I.T.C.H. matches.

Match Rules
  • Both teams are in character
  • Speed is Equalized
  • High 3-A versions for both teams
  • Keys: Magical Sovereign W.I.T.C.H VS Modern Team Sonic
  • Starting Distance: SBA (4 kilometers)
  • Location: Green Hill Zone

Guardians (W.I.T.C.H.):

Some people: I don't have a problem with gay people as long they don't make it their whole personality

Mystic: I'm about to do what's called a "pro gamer move".

(Don't take this seriously lol)

I think that would be for 2027 when the movie gets released, it's not like Year of Shadow started right after Sonic 2

Okay, but Shun ALSO says:

"My favorite movie, 'Back to the Future,' will be made into a musical by Shiki Theatre Company in the spring of 2025. I knew it was being performed in the United States, but now it's finally coming to Japan... I'm looking forward to meeting Marty and Doc."

Now, I AM technically conspiracy posting, but if there was to EVER be a Hint on the kind of theme happening next year, this is a pretty strong one.


As Metal Sonic's whole debut both in his first game and movie is a Time Travel story. Hell, BTTF's whole premise as a film is traveling into the past, causing issues in the distant future, traveling to the past of that moment, and then fixing that because it alters the future full sale. Similar to how in Sonic CD, Sonic must travel to the Past of Stages to beat Eggman down, lest he end up in Futures corrupted by the Mad Doctor, and instead must fight for the Good Future. A lot of Metal is also about Time, too. His Time as Eggman's Enforcer is traditionally within the bounds of pushing him further and further ahead beyond the present era's science. His Time on his own is about his desire to become the End Point, the Future, the Perfected, Sonic. Even in IDW, his goal was to become his "Endpoint" and then Rule the World for Eggman, as Eggman, until Eggman returns. As in, domination over the entire Future, and his existence in the War of Forces was being too late to be completed--I.e., Time Denied/Wasted--To become the final weapon that would crush the Resistance/Restoration. I mean, it's so bound to him thematically that he was going to have his OWN WHOLE CAMPAIGN in Sonic 06 as DLC. I'm just saying, if anyone was going to be hinted at via a Time Travel movie, it's Metal. Or Silver. But MEH. He's not as cool and doesn't have an upcoming movie dedicated to him. PLUS, he's more Terminator, anyway. (I know Metal is TOO, but my bias blinds me.)

I guess that's what Ian meant when he said our best bet was a change in management...

Nakamura is a Silver fan. Silver is THE character associated with Time Travel. Nakamura time and time again talked about wanting to make a Silver game. If that Back to the Future is a reference to anything, it's Silver.
 
All of Nakamura's goats come from games he had a large hand in. Silver, Mephiles, Billy Hatcher, you name it. But yeah, if it's year of Silver then lets hope SEGA's put up their dukes.
