I liked the idea of playing as Emerl, but god damn did they go out of their way to make him as weak as conceivably possible during the course of the story mode.

There's a difference between playing Sonic Battle, and beating Sonic Battle.

Beating Sonic Battle isn't that fun, but it's an alright game. They have some absurd challenges in the game, though.

Emerl's Story made me toss my DS at a wall. Twice.

The AI was horrendous in cheapness at times.

It also doesn't help that the balance of the game is pretty bad. Although when you get to play as Shadow, it feels great because he's so overpowered.

Overall I thought the doppleganger Gamma was the cheapest in the game. When he's knocked out, he freakin explodes, which very often kills you instantly.

It surprised me Chaos wasn't OP when I played through, what with his own special theme and shit... but he's slow and not too special.

As a matter of fact, why the hell was he there? That just seemed handled weird in retrospect.

I'm finding the Werehog death scream to be appropriately agonizing.

I'm going to be hearing it a lot, aren't I?
Depends, how far are you?

Fan service. Lots of people loved Chaos in Adventure. He was a good antagonist.
 
He's an ancient blob of water

The god of chaos and destruction is a blob of water

yeah but he fucked up station square in about 30 seconds, completely, and then after the battle sonic runs off!

"all's well that ends well, right?" fuck yeah thousands of people homeless.

He appears when there is an upcoming disaster. But also fanservice as BlackJace stated.

That's good, because Sonic's only weakness is water.

It's OK, they all moved to Soleanna.

...OH SHIT
:O

Beat the Egg Beetle in Mazuri. Apotos Night was pretty bad, but Mazuri Night was a bit more bearable.
Oh, if that's bad, then you are gonna be hearing that a lot.

PROTIP: Pick up any small enemy you can, run into a crowd and hold Y/Triangle.
 
Station Square was repaired in Sonic Adventure 2 no?

Possibly? I remember Rouge showing Eggman a newspaper clipping about Tails being given a Chaos Emerald for stopping Eggman's big walker robot thing (and Eggman reading it aloud in a way that seemed to imply this is the first time he had heard of that incident, which bugged me).

Also, I started a new file on Sonic Battle because of this thread. The story is pretty fun. And by God, this is one of the best animated games on GBA. The sprites are so lovely <3 Wish I could've worked on that.

(and Eggman reading it aloud in a way that seemed to imply this is the first time he had heard of that incident, which bugged me).

I think it was more that he didn't know they gave Tails the Chaos Emerald. Doesn't he cough all embarrassed after he reads it? Or was that a different scene?

What is Sega made this?

SEGA DOTA essentially. Characters from all sorts of games, most games involved fighting more than... Tennis or Racing. Players must disable the opponents base using their "hero" character while pushing their own horde of Badniks, Street Thugs, Zombies etc to the other side to better take down the opponents.

Make tons of money.

Do it.

Please, no. Any genre but that one :(
I'd love a Turn Based Strategy or Power Stone like 3D Brawler, though, if we don't want it to be another Smash clone.

The esteemed Sonic Blast is on its way to the PAL 3DS e-shop this week, Blue Marine zone will torment a new audience.

So they've released Triple Trouble, Labyrinth and Blast. Where's Sonic 1, 2 and Chaos? Or are they half hoping Master System would pop in at some point?

Needs Sir Tongara de Pepperouchau III and Astal, IMO. Also the Hornet.

I wanna know where Tails Adventures is already. :<

I remembered I left the voices on Japanese when starting Cool Edge Day earlier today and was instantly uncomfortable
I completely prefer Sonic's English voices over his Japanese voice in cutscenes. They sound more natural. The Japanese voice has better in-level sounds, though, since the seiyuu makes Sonic sound tougher. :lol

But that's a good case of the English voices being better than the JP voices. Chip in Japanese is better than the English voice, though. >.>

Yaaaaay, we'll have other people posting stuff like this:
I'm playing Sonic Blast.

It's... uh... it's worse than I remembered. The backgrounds are all wrong, and they're so dull to look at. Everything feels so s l o w, and I dislike both characters' running animations. It's gotten to a point where I don't think the level design supports Knuckles very well either. The fourth zone is incomprehensible; who designed this garbage? Many of the zones feel quite uninspired.

Even the names of the zones seem to have no effort put into them.

*sigh* I remember asking for this for Christmas too.

Who designed this? Why?

It's pretty damn awful. Still playable, but it's ugly, the level design is garbage, Knuckles drops like a rock (in fact, the level design doesn't really facilitate his skills very well), and the last two Zones are stupidly designed.

release super columns next, sega, kplzthx.
 
Going to try to soldier on through Unleashed again today.

I wanna know where Tails Adventures is already. :<

I can't even begin to list all of the Game Gear games I want to show up. Tails Adventure, Ristar, Columns, Streets of Rage II, even Gunstar Heroes. (Although that'll probably only show up on the JP Virtual Console...) A shame that most of my favorite Game Gear games are licensed titles, though. (Lucky Dime Caper, Castle/Land/Legend of Illusion, etc.)

Edit: Holaska Day managed to be thoroughly unfun. At least it's the one stage in the PS3 version that actually stays at 60fps for more than two seconds.

Question about Episode I. In the cards act of Casino street where you have to jump across the cards without falling to your death how do I do that without doing the (stupid) homing attack?

Because I also made something for the Pokémon OT a while back, here's something for my Sonic buddies on GAF <3

I'll be using this for something real soon. Not a fangame, though. :p

Oh, and something old while I'm at it:

Haha, it was purely SA2 Sonic, actually. Mostly based on the art, not so much the in-game model.

His quills were pretty damn long in that game now that I think about it. And he always looked so angry.

[EDIT] Just look at him! Geez, Sonic! I'm sorry already!

HMMM so does that mean you actually enjoyed Jason Griffith's VA? :p

I think I might be in the minority that preferred his VA over Craig Smith's, and even Ryan's. I thought he hit a good stride with Unleashed. To me Smith's voice work gives off a way bigger beach-goer douchbag vibe than the other two. I don't think his corny writing has helped either though. But again I think I'm alone in thinking this.
