Ack. That notion didn't even occur to me. Now I'm even more concerned. I'm not sure how many beneficial changes the Spindash is getting in Ultimate, but considering that shields were already eating spins in Sm4sh, this might not bode well for Sonic. Hopefully it either won't be that bad or...

That looks like a good find. Maybe that'll make me less salty about the discrepancy between Sonic's Dair and other similar Dairs. However, even if we don't have the additional hit, I'm curious to see how perfect shielding would affect Sonic's Dair. Wouldn't we still have a problem from the new...

Woah woah woah: Hold up here. We can't shield from spins anymore? Of all the things they decided to change, THAT was on the top of their list?

Something I noticed: in the trailer: During one segment, Sonic performs what appears to be a mid-air dodge, but with directional influence reminiscent of Melee. I was unable to see any other dodges in the trailer, but its possible that Melee's areal dodges may be returning. Edit: Apparently the...

New Smash Announced! Soooo...does that mean these threads will be dead soon? Well, dead-er. Either way, I'm all psyched up for Ultimate!

Assuming this is either A: a port, or B: Sonic returns, I still doubt we'll get anything significant. The character balance in Sm4sh right now is mostly solid and unless any big gameplay changes are made, I don't see any reason to mess with the majority of the cast, Sonic included. If it IS a...

I figured as much. Close, but not close enough. I've been away Pokemon for a while now since the 2016 comp scene had me frustrated, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who maxes Pokemon game timers.

After looking around a bit, it seems the sprites available in chat appear to be custom edited. So they are very close to some of the sprites from the main series, but don't appear to be ripped straight out. Makes a bit more sense why it bugs me then. Its like the "uncanny valley" concept; the...

Y'know, I've always wondered: Is the Haunter sprite a custom one, or is it ripped straight from one of the series' games? Because although it seems similar to some gen 1 sprites, the design and coloration don't quite click with me for which game it is (or might be) from. For some silly reason it...

First time I showed Silva to my friends we spent 4 hours pouring through his rips just to see what our favorite tracks sounded like. I think my friend's favorite is still one of the kazoo'd themes from FF7. The one that gets me everytime is Live & Learn where the pitch on the word 'more' keeps...

Been waiting for Siiva's rips. Does not disappoint! On another note, I finally forced myself to finish Forces. My opinion hasn't changed all that much, but I think I finally get what a lot of people have been saying when they mention that the game has 'promise.' Classic, modern, and OC all have...

Sonic Forces had several previous Sonic game devs working on it, most of the complaints are just about the level design team. Only one of them has notably worked on a Sonic game, and that was level designing for Lost World. Unless someone is clearly not very good at the game, I would be...

Like I said, if you wanna Fox, go Fox. The only reason I give caution here is that if you're maining a character there's gotta be some devotion to that. If you're gonna switch mains the only way you'll know if the new one is the right fit is by putting the same amount of time and effort as the...

Regardless of the results of Sonic Forces, I'm interested to see what Sega will do next. With the crazy success of Mania, I wonder if they will do some internal reflection on what works and what doesn't. I've seen interviews where some devs working for Sega were aware that Mania would do well...

This. All of this. I was so frustrated that THAT is the direction that was chosen. I was legitimately mad.
