I think Sega actually doesn't consider Shadow's game canon to the Sonic series. Don't quote me on this, but I recall seeing an article a while back where it was quietly noted that the events of Shadow the hedgehog aren't considered in the series storyline by the producers at Sega. Much like 06, but that one wrapped itself up.
Could be false, but for a short period of time I remember it being stated several times online.

At this point I'm just gonna say who really knows. Izuka retconed the moon from Adventure 2 to Shadow the Hedgehog by saying it was turned around. Most things I see relating to Shadow has his origin's with the Black Boom being taken into account. Saying Doom is his biological father, like on the wiki and so on.

Sanic, pls.

At this point, I'd just say "screw it," since the Sonic series is awful at world building and storytelling.
What really matter is if the games are fun. I'd say Sonic does a better job than what people give him credit for, but the crappy games shouldn't be ignored.

Guys, what on earth is BlazBlue

Wait, Shadow is canon? While I haven't played the game, it doesn't seem like it would be a canon game.
Neither but since this is another game where Sonic 'dies', I really don't think that this game is cannon. Or at least I don't.

Many characters also have enough medium awareness to make Deadpool blush.
***** please. Have they ever done a Fourth Wall Break inside a Fourth Wall Break?

I don't know much about Undertale, but I've heard it's based on Earthbound, which I just beat and adored.

BTW, what do you guys think of Earthbound?

I couldn't really get into it sadly. Doesn't help that I got stuck in it. :|

If you liked Earthbound, you'll probably enjoy Undertale (like me). If you're skeptical about it, you can always try the demo.

All this fighting game talk and I'm just sitting here wondering when we're gonna start discussing a real fighting game. We're heading to EVO boys.

In the worst ending, one Character openly explains what the stats in all RPG's mean right after you fight someone who tells you about how difficult it is being an NPC, with players resetting all the time and putting everyone into a Groundhog Day loop every time you load the file. After that, the one Character gets into a battle with the game's coding, beats it, literally crashing the game and rendering it unplayable. Every time you boot it up, it just loads up to a black screen thereafter.

I just registered for EVO.

I also bought Street Fighter V.

So #eSports.
This can give you a gist: http://bfy.tw/4L05

Also, Cammy, I thought I was the only Platinum player alive
I love Plat. I was really sick with her back in Continuum Shift II days but then, like Espy said, patches and things.

Although I played her recently and picked up the new B&B pretty quick. I bet if I got the game again I'd be pretty tight.

After being mad at one of my classes, I decided to take my rage out on Sonic Adventure Steam. The speed run emblems as Sonic are actually really hard, especially with Keyboard controls. Tho somehow, mixing rage and determination I guess, I got thru Ice Cap in 4 min, Casinopolis in 5 min, and Red Mountain in 3 min. Red Mountain really doesn't pull punches.

...is it possible to be bad at Cloud? I considered maining him for a period recently but it feels so hard for me to win with him, while my Sonic still continues to take names. I guess Sonic's still my main squeeze.

When I played Sonic's Adventure in Sonic Adventure DX...

I took 11 minutes to beat Ice Cap.
I took 13 minutes to beat Red Mountain.
I took 24 minutes, 59 seconds, and 680 milliseconds to beat Casinopolis.

I'm beyond slow. :4sonic:

Usually I just use it to save my partner but people are saying this is a guaranteed kill? I don't know. That spring is frame 1 isn't it? Not sure if its truly worth attempting to pull off, would anyone recommend trying this tech for kill confirms? Maybe it's just to look flashy.

We call this Spring Ride.

Spring activates on frame 5.

The opponent can act out of the bounce before Sonic can.

Thus, it's not guaranteed, or even entirely safe.

It's a good mix-up.

Apparently Sonic got his weight changed last patch, not this patch.
Weird...

The patch notes says he has "No Changes" for the most recent patch now instead of the weight change, but 1.1.3 isn't updated to reflect it was actually last patch.

Did his weight change or no?

Also, kind of bull**** because that means they nerfed Sonic's weight before they felt the need to do it before Sheik, ZSS, and Rosalina.

If you look at the last post, it says his weight was changed in 1.1.3

The fact that Sonic got nerfed harder and before Sheik while Sheik hasn't gotten any worthwhile nerfs is bull****.

Adventure is awesome. Beating every rank, and getting every emblem is one of my greatest gaming achievements. :D

Adventure (1) is pretty much my favorite 3D Sonic alongside Generations, and 3D Blast.


Getting that Emblem in Ice Cap was beyond frustrating though. I had to use that clipping glitch to beat it.

Ice Cap sub 4 minutes actually wasn't that bad for me. The entire first part was skipped with the Jump Panels outside the cave and the majority of the second part can be skipped if you Light Dash on the rings that form an arrow shape...so long as the momentum doesn't carry you off the edge.

Red mountain on the other hand...needed to be pretty much perfect in taking the shortcuts. Too bad there are even less camera controls with the Keyboard.

Man, I feel really sorry for you guys. But seriously, I don't know why Sakurai keeps nerfing characters like Little Mac and Sonic and just leaving others like Shiek and ZSS alone when really they are the ones that need a nerf.

Ah no, I meant the one where you have to aim at a line of rings at the very bottom of Ice Cap, at the end of the snowboard act (where you have to jump in a specific place, in a specific way, in order to grab at least one of these rings).

When I was in my Prime at this game, I could spindash my way through Ice Cap avoiding the slow areas like it was the Boost era. :D
I'll have to double check my record, I think it's still there.

I really like Red Mountain. It's dangerous as hell, but it's one of my favorite levels.
This game feels nostalgic to me, even though I played it back in 2006 for the first time. I wish I had a Dreamcast.

Oh. Spring Ride is so good when you're in team battle and manage to catch your partner with it. I haven't perfected it though, I save my opponents more than I do my partner actually. It's annoying sometimes lol. Any tips for getting the timing down? Maybe some any video tutorials on YouTube? If not you need to do it.

Sheik used to be a lot more broken. The Bair, Vanish, and Bouncing Fish nerfs were particularly potent
Honestly, I don't mind if Shiek stayed at the top. Just give everyone else in the roster a chance

BWHAHAHA, that's fair enough.

Not plugging my stream or anything. Just wanted to share this cuz I'm happy with how it turned out. Simple but nice.

...and yea, Sonic's missing the rest of his arm in that render. But that's what Meteor's for. >_>

i loved SA2 as a kid, playing it now though some aspects of it have not aged well. like the chao garden is still sick and probably the best part of the game, but the camera is total garbage (especially on non-sonic/shadow levels). still a decent game tho i think
