Merry Christmas, you.....people.....

Do snowflakes and sparkles mix well?

have you never seen a sparkling snowfall?

Snowflakes and sparkles mix wonderfully.

You know, before I became active on these boards, I hated sparkles and everything they stood for. >_>

. . . but now?

 

[The Phazon Assassin]

No, I....can't say that I.......have.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

No, I....can't say that I.......have.

when lights hit falling snowflakes, especially in the dark, they glitter and sparkle, scintilating in the shining beams of light.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

did everyone get what they wanted for Christmas?

 

[Geddan]

no i got coal

 

[ぱみゅ]

did everyone get what they wanted for Christmas?

I almost did....
I wanted money, about $150 like last year, but I got $50, and now I'm not sure if I'll attend the National....

 

[KayLo!]

Everything + more. Kinda got spoiled too much this year imo.

Ditto.

One thing that I wasn't expecting was a Xbox 360 Kinect. When I got it I was thinking "Meh, this'll be another Wii motion controls rip-off", but so far it's been more like the Eyetoy with some extra polishing. Built-in voice recognition is interesting. I'm going to have to see if there's some sort of fighting game out for it though. Making up your own moves sounds like the most amazing concept ever...

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

I got what I wanted and more (granted, my list was pretty short)


But my twin sister is kinda.... ditzy.

She tried to surprise me with a hat.... but she bought a girl's hat for me. *facepalm*

Fail or not, it sounds like a cute experience =P
I'd wish to have nice moments like that....

 

[Kisamealex3]

I didn't get anything besides a little money. I haven't got anything for Christmas for the past 5 years . No, but, really...I don't mind.

I don't really care about getting anything unless they're clothes because, I have a laptop, I have my music and I have my wii.

My birthday is coming up soon though. I'll be getting a 360 w/ Kinect because my brother feels like he has to get something xD.

I hope everybody enjoyed their Christmas/Holidays so far! Did anybody celebrate Umoja night?

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

now, granted, there was nothing INHERENTLY girly about the hat. It was a corderouy fedora, but, it didn't look QUITE like a normal fedora, and it was made by l.e.i. who market EXCLUSIVELY to teenage girls.




Oh, and, BTW, I played and beat Sonic Colours already. Believe it or not, it was actually a good game.
-Dencent level design
-Fast pace
-Felt like "Sonic"

Unfortunately, it was almost criminally short, it was so corny that it was painful at times and several levels just had frustratingly bad design.


I don't think they'll ever acheive, again, what they did with Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on the GCN, with its grittier themes, more intuitive level designs and just all out improved fun-factor, but at least it was a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, I think that even Shadow the Hedgedawg was a better game than this, which would, in my eyes, put it about even with sonic adventure (better though, IMO) and below all the original genesis games but above all the other sonic games which have come out since.


The Wisps were a neat way to incorperate new gameplay mechanics with their unique abilities, but they came across as.... gimicky to me.



Is it too much to ask for a sonic game where I get to play as sonic, knuckles and/or tails against an evil plot set up by Dr. Robotnik with fun levels that don't need all sorts of new gimicky characters?


All in all it was actually a good game though..... not like that horribly clunky piece of S*** on Wii Ware.

 

[JigglyZelda003]

sounds like Sonic colors might be a worthwile purchase....when i get some money for it lol

 

[AlMoStLeGeNdArY]

paying money for video games is so pre Dreamcast ^_^.

SOnic COlors DS is amazing. In fact you should probably just stick to handhelds for your Sonic fix because almost all of them have been fantastic since the Advance days.

I have owned only 2:

Both were major dissapointments.


The former was addictive, and actually fun, but considering it was an RPG, it was ludicrously short and dissapointingly shalow.
I applaud sonic the hedgehog for attempting to take the franchise in a new direction that, actually, flowed fairly well, BUT the game just seemed to have been made by amatures and, while the battle system was top notch, the out-of-battle experience was horrible. (plus, they added a new character.... which was stupid, even if she WAS exclusive to this game)


The latter was also good. It harkened memories of the old 2D games. But, again, it was short, introduced a new and completely superfluous character and the new mechanics that they introduced were.... unnecessary. Why try to make sonic control any differently in a 2D environment... that's what he does well already. Other than that the game was pretty solid. A bit short and not very memorable at all though.


Overall, I'd say that Chronicles was a better game if for no other reason than because it strove for something new and better and acheived only mediocrity wheras sonic rush never sought to accomplish more than mediocrity in the first place. Either way, I was dissapointed. The first promised me so much but delivered only some of it, and the latter.... was just like: here. Let's make money off of the sonic franchise's loyal fans.

Overall, I'd actually say these games are both on the same teir as sonic colours as far as how good the games were, though sonic colours is better than either of them within that teir in my eyes.




edit: on second thought........ maybe sonic rush doesn't belong on that teir afterall...... it's closer to Sonic Heroes.

 

[Kataefi]

is anyone up for a lagfest by any chance? like the good ol' ffas we used to do? I'm seriously feeling it... =(

3x... how's that pink unicorn?

edit: one quick thing........ what's sonic 4 like? Because I want to try it out.

on wii ware?


AWFUL.



It's not "nostalgic" in the traditional sense. It straight up rips off stages from sonic 2 (including all of the bosses). BUT it doesn't even have as many of them, and the handing is AWFUL (making sonic jump feels like he's moving through mud)

Basically, it's like a graphical update for Sonic 2, except now you get a homing attack..... and the game doesn't feel nearly as fast because the physics on the jumping is SO BAD and even his running feels... more like joging (I swear it felt like I was walking around loops sometimes.... the game had NO sense of proper acceleration or inertia).

Oh yeah.... and you get an overworld map, but half of the zones are missing. As repayment, you get an extra act in each of the zones that DO exist.

 

[Kataefi]

I got the impression it was just sonic 2 rehashed... I dunno it looks good in videos but I've heard the physics are bad... which makes me sad. I was playing S&K3 yesterday and visualised just how amazingly awesome it would be to have a proper Sonic 4 with cool levels and nothing fancy added in, but Sega literally has no clue........

now, to be fair, this game has the subtitle "Episode I" so I get the feeling that it's shortness is supposed to be indicative of a venture into episodic gaming on Sega's part and it may feel more like a full game after a 2nd or 3rd episode is released.

Also, I wasn't QUITE fair by saying it's a graphical update because all of the levels ARE technically new, with new stage specific mechanics, and new layouts. But, believe me when I say, stylistically the games zones are COMPLETE clones of the following 4 stages from Sonic 2:
-Emerald Hill Zone
-Casino Night Zone
-Metropolis Zone
-Flying Fortress.
And the other zone is a complete stylistic ripoff of the sonic 3 level
-Hydrocity Zone



And the bosses......... well. They are ALL rehashes of sonic 2 boses. The hydrocity zone boss is a rehash of the Aquatic Ruins boss from sonic 2. And, while they HAVE had some updates in their attack patterns and techniques...... it's blah.












As for the AWFUL PHYSICS..... it's absolutely true and there's no way to avoid it.

 

[KayLo!]

Aw Kata, I'd play you if I wasn't already doing dubs.

But I got a legit wireless router now. =D So whoever wants to play, I'm down another day.

 

[AlMoStLeGeNdArY]

get at me kaylo i'm always down to play.

 

[KayLo!]

Sure thing AL.

@Riot: Is this anything like what happened with your janky LK?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvJrmTihTAU

Just an example of what electric moves can do. I've had the same thing happen to me, except in my case the MK went straight into a freefall & couldn't up b again.

 

[MrEh]

And that's why we only play games that Bioware puts effort into.

I'll proceed on remove the bricks I'm sitted on...
That vid is amazing, I wonder if people would be able to abuse of it...

 

[GodAtHand]

Yah Kaylo. That's exactly what I did to Peachkids Peach, but nothing like my no hit-lag for Zelda LK (if your still looking into that, seems futile though lol).

I wish that happened every time you hit someone during their recovery with a LK, that would be sweet.

 

[KayLo!]

Haven't found any explanation for the no-hitlag LKs yet. It's probably just a random glitch.... or something so specific that it can't be done consistently.

Also, I dunno if someone's posted this already, but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlJuJxVYZHY
I've seen a lot of character hacks (mostly subpar ones....), but I <3 this one. It's exactly how I imagine Zelda would really use magic.

 

[AlMoStLeGeNdArY]

that's how I view Zelda in regular brawl =/.

 

[-Mars-]

I will **** all of you Failda's on Wifi in a couple days when I get my Wii back online so get ready.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I'd totally play Wi-Fi if I didn't live in Australia.

Australia to USA/UK = lol.

The no-hitlag LK thing is where Zelda doesn't do that dramatic pause right? I've noticed that the only times I do it is when me and my opponent have been knocked on about the same trajectory (By grenades, another player etc), and I bair out of the hitstun, but still have the flying momentum. Stuff.

I think I worded that right.

 

[The Phazon Assassin]

I've seen Zelda connect with an LK, her opponent had 0 hitlag whatsoever, but she stayed in her "I hit you" pose as normal. Pretty funny.

That's pretty awesome.

Zelda's weird.

 

[Kataefi]

2 things!

1: has anyone played 999? I've heard it's really good and sort of a successor to the Ace Attorney games.

2: http://tinychat.com/lightningkick -> It might say you need to connect to facebook but you absolutely don't have to. Just insert a nickname. Also I made this because it seems to have some useful chat tools!

edit: whoever was on the chat should come back! I just missed you!

 

[AlanHaTe]

Happy new year to everyone here at Zelda Boards!!!

I know it's to early, but I (and I guess everyone) will be busy all day long. =_=

Anyway, I hope we can make more for our character this year!!

Cheers!!!

First I heard of it actually

Happy new year to everyone here at Zelda Boards!!!
Cheers!!!

^ this pretty much
I won't really be busy today and if it helps I 3-stocked some meta knight on wi-fi with Zelda two days ago. (Zelda is pretty fun ,I should use her more often lol)

I tried.... couldn't find a rom that doesn't freeze tho. =X Heard it's one of the best DS games so far.

Happy New Year's, everybody.
