Why would I bother looking up OCs named after me?

. . .I have better ways to spend my time.

Doodling as the world burns?

Fair enough.

Lemme get in on that.

Never in my life I thought I would be on a forum taking part in a heavy and serious discussion about Sonic OC's. :p
You and me both.

So far yes lol
I think Chiko or Red win in cringe factor though
Oh no, ChikoLad ChikoLad wins this by miles.

Sexy Sonic OCs are a dime a dozen. That green abomination will haunt my nightmares tonight.

They'll likely be around the same height since being able to change their size would require programming extra hitboxes. Maybe they'll go the extra mile though.
How are hitboxes calculated in the 3D games, anyway?

I kind of imagined an invisible sphere or cuboid, since Sonic hazards are usually pretty large and the whole body's a hitbox, but then I thought the hitboxes in the middle of animations would complicate matters.

Googling hasn't pulled a thing for some reason, just some notes on how the classics did it.

Oh gosh, not the Sonic OCs again. Need a distraction, now...

The only thing more cringey than bad Sonic OCs is Etika being a tryhard and trying really hard to rip on the OC creator in Sonic Forces.

Well we got confirmation on who's writing Sonic Forces.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
For those who don't know, him and Ken Pontac have been writers for the series since Sonic Colors. It's safe to assume Pontac will also be joining him.

And considering I'm not the biggest fans of those scripts, can't say I'm too filled with confidence.
oh, Sonic Colors was pretty good.

When I saw the name of the video.

I was honestly worried.

But seeing it in action made me feel better.

Sonic OCs don't look half bad actually.

Also, new ARMS direct, holy crap.

Sonic Colors had a few enjoyable lines (namely the Eggman P.A . announcements), but overall I'm not really a fan of how they write Sonic.

I don't hate them as much as some fans do (some fans absolutely HATE them), but I wouldn't miss them if they left the series.

And considering this game is going in a more serious direction, I can't see this going well.

I can't believe it, we are in a day and age where people want a playable car in Smash. But not that there's an issue with it since the Hornet was a fighter before. Poor Astal and Bug though, their obscurity hurts them alot of all Sega Saturn characters,

Next up are the last group of Saturn characters before I give universes like Sakura Wars, Panzer Dragon, and Fighting Vipers their own polls. Your choices are Shou Amabane from Burning Rangers, Bruno Delinger from Die Hard Arcade, Sir Pepper from Clockwork Knight, and lastly SEGATA SANSHIRO!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Fully prepared for the ****posts.

These people don't rise from their graves. They've been undead for so long I'm not sure they were ever even alive.

Of the abilities in Sonic Forces, I kind of like the bird one of the best

Double jump in a platformer

Example of this being in megaman and bass

Once you double jump with bass, it's super annoying to go an play as megaman
That's not a fair example. That game was designed SOLELY for Bass, they didn't balance it around Mega Man AT ALL

Everyone can have their Segata Sanshiros while I'm all for #TeamBurningRangers

Seriously, we need a sequel to that game.

-Etika

And that's the problem. He's better left ignored, he just seeks attention anyway he can.

And he rides off hype, nothing more.

Calls himself a Fire Emblem fan, and never finished a single game.
Didn't he finish Awakening and maybe Fates? Or did he just stop suddenly even tough he was pretty far into the two games?

>Sonic OCs

This is not what I had in mind when I heard "important Sonic news". But I do love custom characters so I'll take this.with gratitude.

Oh ARMS Direct tomorrow!! I need more info on the game!

Like. . .not a single one?

I mean sure I haven't finished half of mine and beat the other half on Easy/Casual, but considering those settings. . .it's not that hard. Heck, he could probably steamroll Fates on Phoenix if he were inclined to do that.

He doesn't have the balls to actually play the games.
Not since Wolf didn't come back in Smash

Oh gosh, it's the "Corrin took Wolf's slot" thing.

I'm getting flashbacks to the Final Smash Direct day. That's not something you want flashbacks of.

Corry dear

The man said he'd eat his own testicles on a sandwich if Wolf wasn't in the Smash Direct


I also decided to watch the 2010 Scooby Doo show. Over 5 minutes and god damn, I love this show already

The majority of people in general don't finish the games they play. I'm not any less of a Halo fan just because I don't beat the campaigns. If they get excited over the idea of a new installment in the franchise, that's good enough to be a fan.

That said, Etika is uh... I dunno, he's interesting. A bit too obviously fake for my liking, but whatever, I'll shrug it off.

Whenever Etika's mentioned here, everyone takes the time to talk about how ****ty he is.

From a gameplay perspective, the character creation idea honestly doesn't seem that bad at all. It does seem like they're avoiding having the characters make either of the Sonics irrelevant as their gameplay focuses on different elements, their focus on gadgets are pretty neat and they seem to be fun to play as, and the character creation lends to some neat designs that don't feel out of place. So unless something is shown later that contradicts anything I've said, all in all I think the idea has some potential to it and could actually be a nice addition to the game.

Story-wise I will admit I have some concerns as it's very easy to write created characters poorly, but I'll wait to see where that goes first before getting worried.

In other news, Microsoft is releasing a game called Phantom Dust (one of their games on the original Xbox).

The fact it's releasing today (instead at E3) and for free (as in no micros-transactions) either tells me they have little faith in it or they're feeling generous (maybe the former).

Still might try it out though.

Didn't that go through development hell?

I think his point is that it's more "just move on," shrug it off. If every time Etika is brought up, people just go on about how bad he is, and how his videos are lame, then there's really no point in brining it up, nothing new is being added to the topic.

It's how I felt when my Discord server would go on rants about how horrible Color Splash is going to be and how they want the "Real" Paper Mario back. Just shrug it off.

. . .Well that's what he gets for thinking you can accurately predict who's revealed for Smash, I guess. A promise like that is kind of like daring fate itself to prove you wrong.

Maybe he should have thought of making a more keepable wager for the sake of our entertainment since this is "eat a Wiimote" level, LOL. On the other hand, Rocky Mountain Oysters. You can use pork for it and that's comparable in terms of makeup for other stuff, I'm sure it'd work. :smirk:

It's something that would only get discussed for half an hour
whining about a topic being discussed makes the topic ironically enough go on even longer

I wonder why they don't have an echidna and fox as a playable choice?

Maybe DLC
