Sonic has too many friends.
Sonic has too many friends
>implying that was ever the problem
journalist detected
You're just jealous.
>you will never have as many friends as Sonic does
Most of those will never appear again. whats your problem? Its also fucking sonic, not enough people care for it
Sonic has so many good friends like Robotnik.
No he doesn't fuck off. You're like miyamoto trying to get rid of all mario characters.
Espio was cool tho
The most playable characters in a mainline Sonic game was Heroes and that came out in 2003 so I really don't understand how people can use the "too many friends argument" in any game after Heroes.
YOU WANT ORIGINAL CHARACTERS?
FUCK YOU!
HAVE TEN BIRRION TOADS INSTEAD!
do you think any of them know what he does with Tails behind closed doors?
>no dick on tails
Gay
Kind of, kind of not. I think the real point of contention up to '06 was that there were too many playable characters at once. Maybe they should go for a Touhou model.
It has a good sized roster for kart games and party games. If there’s any hope I have for TSR is it’s roster. For mainline sonic games (whatever the fuck that means), it is too much. Mania/Classic sonic can definitely make use of classic sonic characters even the cast from chaotic and sonic the fighters. Modern sonic and the boost formula shouldn’t really focus outside Sonic, Shadow, Metal Sonic, or Blaze. Unless they go down the adventure path and refine play styles for tails, knux, rouge, omega and silver. I do think they need to stop adding a NEW group of characters with some lame gameplay or plot gimmick and just relegate them to being background characters. Missed potential.
Man, I’d kill for a true riders 4 to bring the babylon rogues back. I’ll never not be mad at how ZG set the precedent for the death of the series.
Sonic needs his friends to be playable in future mainline 3D Sonic titles.
He doesn't have too many friends, he has too many friends that are fucking worthless and annoying.
What weirds me out is they have this huge roster of characters with different abilities but they've only ever tried making a fighting game twice.
>If there's any hope I have for TSR is its roster
Maybe DLC can fix it, sure. Only 15 characters (Team Eggman not pictured) with some odd omissions and odd choices. Unless that one thread that claimed Super Sonic, Egg Pawn, and the new character made for the game Dodon Pa are all playable as well is true
It's good to have friends and a lot of them, user.
t.friendless loser
I think Sonic Team realised they are shit at everything apart from a 2D Sonic platformer. Fuck even the new racing game isn't developed by them
Sonic Team's actually pretty good at making anything that's not a Sonic game I've noticed
>Sonic Team is better at making non Sonic games
>Other studios make better Sonic games than they do
It's such a paradox
I think they're just fucking sick of Sonic and revel in the chance to make something different for a change
That theory seems plausible all considering looking at their reports of last year. Having Sonic basically as a mascot and be involved other things like merchandise, events, and amusement parks.
Makes me wish they would let someone else develop a 3D game for once, but maybe someday
He needs more enemies
People were ecstatic when Mania brought Back Tails and Knuckles, Mighty and Ray in Plus, and people even want Metal, Fang and Amy so I wouldn't be too sure about that. Really hope it tells Sega to give us that variety on the 3D side too.
That's why I hope TSR does well and gets some good character DLC, to show SEGA that fans still like some of Sonic's friends and want to use them
I would happily take egg pawns over zavok and his fucking yettis. I don’t know why sega insists on pushing whisps and lostworld bullshit
Very odd omissions and choices. Makes no sense to bring 1/3 of chaotix and 2/3 of rose. The chaos are a fun addition but they should have just put on a team with Blaze and Silver. Fucking Zavok should just be allowed to fade into obscurity, Chaos Zero or a fucking egg pawn are a better choice than him. Hoping for a team Babylon (Jet, Wave, Storm) and a team Outlaw ( Fang, Bean, Bark).
I hope we do get better dlc down the line, Chaos 0, Tikal, Cream, the rest of chaotix.
sonic sez have sex
This. Sonic is too much of a jerkoff to have any friends.
Marine, Sticks, and Infinite have a better chance of appearing than any of the classic exclusive characters and even Tikal and Chaos.
Just for representation I'm sure. TSR has a little of just about every major Sonic game in it it seems, including Mania and Forces
They likely chose Chao over Cream because they wanted to reference the Chao Garden in some way, but I too hope they do fix the roster with DLC. I think the main reason for these odd picks is the 15 character mandate
They really could have pushed teams with this and its bizarre they didn't
It's likely SEGA to blame, they wanted all the most popular/important cast in the base game so they limited the roster to only the basics, then they may charge a bit for extra ones. It's a real fuckin shame, but it happens.
>And this is where I'd put my first place Trophy
>IF I HAD ONE
Why is furry Raiden a thing
4 of these are canonically dead tho
Emerl, Tikal and...?
Werehog and chip. Sonic had his curse lifted and chip joined back up with Gaia at the end of unleashed.
Cosmo (I think but I haven't watched all of Sonic X)
The Werehog is never reappearing unless they did some plot armor to bring him back, but it's an alternate form of Sonic anyways
That's Tezuka, not Miyamoto.
>Sonic has too many friends that are either made useless in game or gets forced into shitty, unpolished gameplay styles
Fix'd. Although there still are too many considering the fanbase almost wants all of those characters, even the canonically dead ones, playable again.
Sonic's friends need their own spin off games. Well some of them do. I would unironically buy a Eshop Big fishing game that has you fishing in all the different locations through Sonic's history.
>Literally all SoJ made characters
>Except faggot Rotor from SatAM
Why? If SatAM shit why would you not have Sally there instead?
>I think Sonic Team realised they are shit at everything apart from a 2D Sonic platformer.
> apart from a 2D Sonic platformer.
Try again. They are shit at ALL things Sonic.
The vast majority of these will never appear again
Just nitpicking for the sake of it, like when 4kids voiced the cast and people complained. Ironically Archiefags fail to realize Sonic has enough friends for the comic to use. It's almost comical how out of touch most non game sectors of the series is with how things are.
Big's part in adventure was unironically a pretty good fishing game, it's just that a fishing game of any kind is the last thing people want in their Sonic.
Classic Sonic's stages in Generations are mediocre, Sonic Team is terrible all-around.
>tfw Shadow's slowly back on the rise
Will he be actually crucial to the story and playable in the next Sonic game lads?
Would be nice
They do, but they and SEGA keep getting in the way. With the success of Mania, maybe they might relax.
>Metroidvania starring Tails
>3D sandbox treasure hunting game starring Knuckles
>Hack 'n slash starring Team Dark
>Puzzle platformer/detective game starring Chaotix
Life Sim/Chao Garden companion app/side game with Cream/Big as hosts
>visual novel/dating sim starring Amy and other female characters
Some of these are just too obvious to pass up
That's like saying Goku has too many friends.
Well apparently he does considering you see next to none of them regularly.
What's Launch up to? Or Android 8? Upa? Fuck what's Yamcha even doing these days?
We need mecha back
Yeah, WHY is Rotor is on there? Who the fuck made that image?
>Fuck what's Yamcha even doing these days?
jobbing
Hanging out with Bulma and everyone else who isn't Goku or Vegeta.
Nah, he won the game for them, that's far from jobbing.
So nothing new?
These friends haven't been relevant since 06 let it go already.
He doesn't have too many friends, he had(and I do mean this in the past tense, Mania was the first mainline game since '06 that had other playable characters besides Sonic) too many friends with half-baked gameplay styles that took precious dev time away from the main attraction
People saying this back in like 2005 are the reason the games started stagnating so much.
At least a third of those haven't shown up in over 8 years.
At this point, you can say the original Dragon Ball never even happened in Z/Super, considering how Goku doesn't even remember Gohan.
I’m willing to bet most people don’t even know who Upa or Android 8 is.
It's not sonic that has too many friends, it's you that have NO friends.
>Launch
Toriyama forgot about her
>Android 8
Toriyama forgot about him
>Upa
Toriyama forgot about him
>Yamcha
Toriyama didn't forget he hates him
Miyamoto is on record saying Toad is his least favorite character and he doesn't understand why he has fans. I don't know who turned Paper Mario into a Toad NPC fest but it ain't Shig Knight.
See
>Launch
doesn't appear in the series anymore, but pays a visit to Tien and Chiaotzu's place sometimes (according to Toriyama)
>Android 8? Upa?
minor characters, Android 8 still lives with Suno and Upa with his father according to their cameos back at the end of Buu's arc
>Yamcha
appears from time to time (was present at Bulma's birthday party and was one of the spectators in the Universe 6 tournament), but doesn't participate in fights anymore
Why is Sonic Team so shit at managing this series?
