If anything I remember finding SF4 on the 3DS infinitely more brutal to try and play, granted that was with removing the easy touch screen specials control scheme, pulling off an ultra then became a brutal game of twister with your fingers while the circle pad laughs at you.
Well it was really more of a novelty anyway that cost me five quid.
Apparently the Witch character you can't quite place was from Red Earth which is pretty obscure I'd say. The main reason I remember it was a one time bout of Capcom fighting jam leading all of us playing to wonder why there was some dinosaur and shellfish monsters sitting in a roster comprised of mostly SF characters.
I like to think that Grunty's sisters telling her to stop with the rhyming was really just Rare's well of rhymes running dry shortly after starting the script and being like "ah sod it".
Tooie makes the act of getting one jiggy such an ordeal of busy work at times that it's quite impressive.

Play it like the days of yore;
Get the games on '64
(Although the 360 versions are generally improved all-around. Actually-implemented Stop & Swap, for instance.)

A future containing Sonic Boom, fills this community with gloom
Fortunately in times like these, I can at least fall back on Tropical Freeze

i wonder who these 2 fan-favorite characters are? Hopefully not Rouge..she always seemed out of place.

It's probably Metal Sonic and either Shadow or Blaze. Thought if y'all wanna start dreaming about Cubot and Orbot or Grounder and Scratch I ain't gonna stop you

It's Cream and Cheese of that I'm sure.
There's no rhyme here.
In any case I look forward to witnessing the Boomification of more Sonic characters, Knuckles is still the one to beat.
Cubot and Orbot are already known to be in thanks to a VA list from a while back.
edit: Not to say they wouldn't still introduce them formally like this.

Oh! Nice. Well it's them then, probably.
My friend was like " what if they made shadow kinda buff, but not as buff as knuckles"
And I was like " Regret, I regret everything. "

Metal Sonic is virtually unchanged compared to everyone else; only thing I notice truly different is his back. Shadow just seems like he got his shoes back from the Riders games but that's really it.
It's kinda hilarious, really.

Uh he looks fine to me...
I already hated it's design in SA1 and hoped they would stick with the Generations look.
But obviously they have to put longer than fuck legs on every character.

Uh isn't its Generations look the traditional design anyways?

If they weren't going to keep Classic Sonic what made you think they were going to keep Classic Metal?
Yeah, the chubby STH2-like. That's the one I prefer and I hoped they'd stick with that.
You have a point there, but doesn't keep me from not liking it.
Not that I had any hope, I already decided at the reveal what to do with this game.

There really should just be an internet-wide bot that just posts the Sonic Cycle in each new Sonic thread. Some idiot has to go and think they're being clever and incisive by jumping to be the first to throw it in there every. damn. time. so might as well automate the process.

Sonic 2's 'robot duplicate' is an interesting one.
In Japan it is know as Mecha Sonic, in the west Silver Sonic. In a way you can see it as a Mecha Sonic Prototype.
Metal Sonic is the one introduced in Sonic CD.

You know that old trope where someone is having an exceedingly miserable day and then just when they think it can't get any worse there's a sudden downpour of rain that they get caught in? I thought that was but a myth but apparently it's a very real thing and I do not recommend it.
- The posting of the Sonic Cycle itself
- "Sonic was never good anyway"
- Recommendation that Sega should kill off the franchise
- Something about shitty friends whether applicable or not
- "Awesome" fan art
And more, I bet you could whip up a cycle with these and watch it fit most threads with ease, granted it's Sonic Boom so in this case it's at least somewhat understandable.
Or maybe that final boss from Bomberman Hero.
Seems like fate was on your side, I'm a bit disappointed really, there wasn't nearly enough Boomification.
The only Sonic cycle relevant to gaming side threads is the cycle of expected shitposting with every single one, featuring all your favourites such as...

Sticking with the N64 theme I'm going to go with Ocarina of Time's Head carpenter laugh, something about it just feels right.
Or maybe that final boss from Bomberman Hero.

So I'm not the only person who played Bomberman Hero
is that game any good?

One thing that will always stand out to me about Bomberman Hero is that there was a stage filled with slug enemies that were impervious to standard bombs for some reason so you had to use these salt bombs that only ever appeared in that stage, if there was ever a more pointless stage gimmick in a platformer I'm struggling to think of one.
Like who comes up with SALT BOMBS?

The whole game had gimmicky stuff like that. And unlike say, Super Mario who has the ability to do anything, Bomberman is kinda stuck in the "throws bombs" thing so everything is like a variety of explosives. Thus...salt bombs. And vehicle levels, giant bunny riding things
That's for Shadow the Hedgehog 2.
He also needs to become harder to not hurt the ones he loves and a missing left hand.

I don't think you need to be hard to be able to not hurt somebody's missing left hand.
I drew up an "edgy" boom concept a while back, guess I can finish it.So what you're saying is that we need a Shadow version of this

Obligatory Bomberman Hero music link
Bomberman Hero is a weird game in that it plays nothing like any other Bomberman game, to the point where there is no battle mode it's straight up single player only. It's a fun game to play but Bomberman 64 is way better.
Man that game is so fucking good.
The most crushing part of Hudson getting absorbed into Konami is that one of the last games they had in development was a Bomberman game for the 3DS looked like the same style of game as Bomberman 64.

that bomberman hero music is taking me back
when you're like 11-years old, dude from Bomberman 64 coming back as a badguy in Bomberman 64: Second Attack was a huge plot twist
other people played Second Attack right

My life is a farce.
PS: never played Hero but man, I spent A LOT of time on Bomberman64. The mid-boss of the world 5 was something else. And fuck the mine level.

I sure would have liked to but they never released it in Europe.

didn't want to confuse you with a Bomberman Hero sequel naturally!

Since this is the one track everyone always posts I had to go snooping for others, like some smooth elevator tunes.
Quite an interesting soundtrack now I think about it.
Salt in the Euro wounds, those decade old spoilers almost make me feel like I missed out.
Sirius was one of my original gaming swerves, post twist you'd go up to him in earlier stages and gone was his sage like tutorial advice replaced with death threats, so shook.

oops forgot you guys never got that game, so there's something I can horde over you. I will remember to do the same for Captain Toad when I play it this year
also Smash Bros when its inevitably delayed til Summer in honor of the Brawl euro delay

Nah, I could handle Grunty not rhyming. It's the fact that Rare went overboard with how big the worlds were (which tanked the framerate all to shit even after using the expansion pack), just how overdone the hub world was, the amount of backtracking, and some of the requirements to get even a single jiggy at times. I still liked it, but I enjoyed the more simple Kazooie a heck of a lot more.
