Again, shouldn't have had games.

One thing I was suprised by me (Opinion time) was that the follow up to the Sonic/Mega Man crossover wasn't that good either, in fact I was suprised at how many missed opportunities there were.

It's not so much that. It was just a script playing a message. Exiting the browser would have done the trick as well.

Honestly though, I couldn't care less about Fire and Ice. I'm surprised Sega even gave the okay for a sequel. Granted, it's a sequel to the lesser of the two evils, but still.

I've managed to defeat the Telethia, but my problem is that girl that's immune to the Monado's attacks...
Ah yeah, you need Shulk on because of the Telethia. With her you just kind of have to let your partners take care of her.

I don't even know why Sega tried hyping up Fire and Ice.

It literally just looked like Shattered Crystal 2.0. Yes, it was considered better than the Wii U game but that's not saying much.

Doesn't help that it was announced just 7 months afterwards.

That's the point. It is basically Shattered Crystal 2.0. Ever since it was revealed hopes weren't high.
SEGA needs to stop making these insane ideas and focus on what made Sonic successful.

Someone in the comments brought up a good point.

If you patch this out, then these particular levels will literally be impossible to beat. Wonder how they'll address this.

Sega. The company who made the Sega CD.
Sega. The ones who made the 32X.
SEGA. The ones who made this freaking commercial.
I don't think they are ever going to change if they have done the exact same thing for the past 20 years.

So basically, they need to insert Segata Sanshiro in Sonic.

Actually let me add to what I said before, it felt like they made a crossover, for the sake of having a crossover, in other words, it was rushed for profit.

SEGA may have made some mistakes back then with those add-ons, but I find this impressive being that Nintendo had so many blockbuster IPs + more Capcom support.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo 1990 Sold 49.10 million Units
Sega Genesis Sega 1988 Sold 40 million Units

Very impressive it managed to get up to near SNES levels.

This is crazy! I have so many different possibilities now.

My guess is they would either
1) never patch it. It's not game breaking but could get annoy if more people use it.
2) They patch it and delete all levels with it, or they let the player delete them, which could end badly.

The glitch won't affect levels that were designed without it in mind since if I got it right, the door MUST be on the spikes for it to work
So I don't expect it to be patched unless people start to abuse it in regular levels

And they will, people already found a way to make Kaizo levels, only a matter of time before this takes over for a bit.

Sonic '06, definitely. I haven't played Rise of Lyric, so I can't give an opinion on that.

Don't just ignore this. They all function a bit differently, but most of these install malware the second you load the site. Still others will install it when you try to interact with anything, including the X. Just because it's gone now, doesn't mean it's gone for good. You may find an entire week passes before anything happens; many are designed that way in hopes you'll forget all about the popup that caused it and be unable to figure out what it is. Like Dravidian said, it could be a harmless script just meant to scare you, it may even be the most likely possibility. But it's not worth the risk just pretending it didn't happen. These things range from mostly harmless (redirecting you to the same page selling fake antivirus software) to pretty dang harmful (registering keystrokes, and by extension, personal information).

Most up to date antivirus software should find these easy enough, but I'd still recommend you do a system restore to the day before the browser hack occurred. That'll nip it in the bud.

The background of Gaur Plain in Smash Bros. isn't a 100% recreation of the original.

While the general look isn't off, maintaining the general structure of the area, a more detailed look will tell they didn't recreate the area in all its detail, missing several landmarks of the area and placement of water areas and such.

Then again, the area is really huge in Xenoblade, so having the Smash team recreate it to its fullest isn't a good idea from a development point of view.

The Mechonis is also further, but that's likely reference to the box art of the game and so the whole thing can be seen in the background of the stage, so I take this as a creative liberty

Runners was also just a giant paywall, in fact its paywalls are probably bigger than the Great Wall. I got to spin a wheel up to a possible infinite amount of times to get the character I'd like to unlock, no thank you. I'd honestly have the app be paid for.

And its name is originally Bionis' leg, Gaur Plain is only a landmark. The omega version looks really good, it's my favorite in the game.

Smash refers to the stage as Gaur Plain, because there are more areas in Bionis' Leg besides it and the stage is explicitly based on the Gaur Plain area.

Ironically enough, Gaur Plain is the closest to the Mechonis in the entire Bionis' leg area.

The area in Smash looks more based on this:

Sonic just... needs to end.
It pains me SO much to say that. But with Sega pushing the Boom Brand to the point o it being obnoxious, Sonic Team more content cash-cowing the mobile market, and now with OTHER devs not even giving a damn... what hope is there, like really? Even if things were to fall in place and the series was to get on track, this damage is boarderline irreparable. Sonic's reputation is all but a joke. We managed to at least SOMEWHAT come back after 06, but it's just too late for Sonic these days.

DKC2 predicted it all from the start.

Webroot is currently installed on this computer and it hasn't detected anything so far. I'll keep my eye on it and see if there's anything abnormal. The only thing weird is how long it takes for SmashBoards to load.

My browser will occasionally just go white and I can't access anything. It disappears after a couple of seconds though. Other than that, everything seems to be fine so far.

I'm actively trying to stay away from certain webpages as I did get a Trojan hoarse last time on a different computer and those things suck. Thanks for being actively concerned though. I'll definitely keep my eye on it.

This is also my parents computer by the way.
