Oh yeah, I'm playing Sonic Advance.

EDIT:

*finally beats Special Stage*
Me: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS
*turns out I went to Special Stage 3 instead of Special Stage 2*
Me: .....
Me: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
 
Advance's special stages are hard until you figure out the weird perspective. Then they become a fair bit easier. It does take quite a bit of time to get used to it, though.

Don't forget to hit B when you go through those glowy thingies for some added rings... although IIRC you have to do it after hitting it, and nary a second sooner, lest you fail to get anything.

Nice job.

thanks i have came up with very great ideas and i hope you all enjoy them '<'

the perspectives are weird... kind of reminds me of Sonic CD's special stages

both are fun when you figure it out, but they can still be frustrating sometimes
 
Nah, because the dots are directly "above" the V.

I was gonna try a Unicode diacritic combining character (that is, two dots above any character you want), but for "<" it looks weird. Observe: <&#776;

Sega should remake the Sonic 1 boss battle in the next Sonic game, but in 3D! That would be insanely cool :)
I'm not sure how that'd work in a third dimension. That boss's gimmick is that it's hard to avoid in two dimensions unless you abuse the fact that circles don't touch the corners of a rectangle, while in 3D, you'd... just go off to the side.

Well they can make it so its like the 2D versions but instead there are 4 hovering platforms but Eggman in his Egg-O-Matic should be a lot faster than his 2D counter part. After a few hits Eggman gets into a frenzy and chases sonic with his checkered ball and sonic has to jump on him from random platforms hovering around. It could work :p
 
I've only gotten two endings to that game... The standard one (with
Magus as a teammate and Chrono alive
), and the one you get when you fight Lavos as soon as you can return to 1000 AD (I forget if it's before or after your visit to 2300 AD, but it netted me an ending with
a Mu and some other enemy sprite dicking around during the credits
).
 
Call me crazy, but I'd really like to see a Chrono Trigger movie one day. It'd be a fucking awesome trilogy if done right.

Ellen Page can play Lucca.

So I'm thinking of jumping back into Sonic Generations. Shame this game wasn't longer.

They should of have made awesome DLC level packs. The game was begging for it... but then again I guess it's understandable because the assets would cost a lot to make.
 
Ehhhh I'm not sure Ellen Page would work for Lucca but I also can't think of any young actress who would fit. A movie would be interesting but if they don't get Crono's hair right, I will be sad.

Write it up using substitute swear words.
I'll hide such vile words behind spoilers, For example...
Bollocks! Fuck! Bastard!
becomes...
Baloney! Fudge! Mustard!

I was thinking of doing that but then my post would look tooo awkwardddddd and funny because no one would get why I'd be censoring the words like that!

Chrono's just so versatile. I always relied on him during fights...
You still have 2/3 of the members of Team Speed on your side, regardless; keep using them (and Marle could sub in for Crono). Which version are you playing? Could probably suggest some equipment depending on the version.

Why pick Ellen Page when we have our own Lucca right here in SonicGAF?
So I ended up lighting up a bunsen burner today (really; it's not something I have to do often so I really enjoy doing it). I also burned my tweezers because I needed to put them in the incinerator because it had some organisms on it and I needed to kill them (what happens is if there are organisms on it, if you look into the incinerator as you burn it, whatever's living on there is zapped clear off! It's really cool! Seriously! I had a giant amount of bacteria on a rod once before I inoculated it, and I had to incinerate it, and there was this awesome zap that killed them.)

But in all seriousness, I do like to heat things up but it doesn't happen that often.

Not if they didn't throw out the assets for Sonic Unleashed. Could've used some stuff from Cool Edge or Arid Sands. Even Eggmanland (the traditional Carnival/Casino stage).

So a lot of the flack he gets is his earlier videos (the main show about classic games) where he essentially did AVGN's TMNT review and he declined it a lot at first or something. Nearly all of his videos have massive amount of dislikes on them due to this, but his later videos just became quite awful in my opinion.

Sonic Unleashed Review
I'll be honest. I could not watch the first one for more than 15 seconds.

The second one genuinely feels like he's trying too hard and it's really fucking annoying.

That would be just lazy if it's going to be just Unleashed! I would expect more 3D remakes of classic levels too if DLC were to ever happen!

Yeah I agree. Is Generations the only non-Wii mainline Sonic title this gen without DLC? This is excluding the pinball thing that was a pre-order bonus to begin with.
 
Sonic 4 has hidden DLC, only accessed by a secret code which you can only attain by buying up copies of Sonic 06 until you find one with a paper of a gold ring with a code inside. You put that in and it allows you to play as Rad Red in a new batch of levels designed after some of the removed levels from Sonic 2.
