It's been a whole day and the message board is still down due to the hackers

Man, that fucking sucks

Source NOW

i'm not sure where this is from but based on sonic's sprites this is pre-release 2.2

>Sonic still has his air dash
fake, the devs were all about how they were planning on removing it in a future update a few weeks ago.

those aren't sonic's 2.2 sprites

I wonder if that's what user meant by "PRE release 2.2" and if maybe you're just a little bit retarded.

Seethe more faggot. It is the best 3D fan game if only by virtue of being a complete experience rather than a test level and nothing else.

Yes, that webm is old, but it is a planned final boss for 2.3. Here's the music for it: voca.ro/18Qbg9xFO3B5

Sounds ok, their current final boss theme is better though.

Those faggots deserve it for ousting Mystic, their most based dev. The project was destined to meltdown from that point onward anyway.

>listens up to around 3:40
>recognizes a melody from the current final boss music
what the fuck

I agree with Black Eggman is last boss perfection. youtube.com/watch?v=2hHfDEG1nck&list=PL4DtJjM6uuWIzUReALp6_J-LEwPSS84Xy&index=24

details? e-drama is hard to research, and I don't care enough to.

They're Sonicfags, just think of the most autistic drama fan game devs could have and that might as well be what happened.

I was looking into making some simple mods for the game and a few maps.But I couldn't figure out certain things and the thought of trying to get advice from them drained any motivation I had. I do not want to socialize with these people.

As a bit of an oldfag my understanding is thus: Mystic was a highly principled and dedicated developer that kept people in line and the project on track, despite it's lofty design goals. He was opposed to shit that would needlessly derail the project further, such as the last minute desire to completely redesign Sonic's air movement. He made children, trannies, and SJWs seethe with his "elitist" attitude, which is why they would eventually band together to throw him under the bus for matters completely unrelated to game development.

There's a cached thread about it on the forums. You might want to look at it before it's wiped from the face of the internet entirelyl

he also said nigger once so he's pretty based

>There's a cached thread about it on the forums. You might want to look at it before it's wiped from the face of the internet entirely
Then link the damn thread, asshole.

You think I could've found that shit?
Thanks anyway, dickhead.

is anybody actually looking forward to the garbage V2 rings shit?

Having played the partial V2 backport, rings are the best mechanic in the sea of garbage gimmicks

Nice job removing the snide remark.

Why would they remove the thok? The levels weren't really built for a homing attack

99% of mods are hosted through those forums and the master server list (that lets you see what servers are being ran instead of having to have the IP directly) is also done through it. You could make an alternative master server thankfully but it's possible some mods are lost forever now

God, everyone in this thread writes in the most obnoxious fucking way. They read like a bunch of middle schoolers trying to sound like adults.

>They read like a bunch of middle schoolers trying to sound like adults.
Well, uh..

Thok spamming for instant speed goes against the game's classic-inspired gamplay, I imagine.
I don't think it's being fully removed, though, just heavily nerfed and being given an alternate function. I want to say it's being changed to where you can thok against a solid wall to give Sonic a vertical boost, allowing him to "climb" up walls/ledges, but that might have just been one of potential ideas being tossed around.

This shit is so fucking wild, second time I've seen it but still have no idea where it's from. Assume it's some old 2.1 thing.

I played the sugoi and subarashii portlegs and they were done kino shit, especially the final bonus levels but holy FUCK I was not expecting a Kirby final boss style shot rn up showdown with fucking omega Ristar.
I need kimikokawaii NOW!

I know, obvious set up.
But still, exactly why I can't stand the fan game scene.

>They read like a bunch of middle schoolers trying to sound like adults.
90% of the forum community are underage, user.
That's the crowd you attract when you have a free 3D fangame that can run on toasters and is simple to mod.

>This predated the Sonic movie
So what are the odds they saw this webm and added it to Sonic 2?

Are you retarded. The giant Robotnik mech from the movie is based on 3K's final boss.

Sure, but think about how this is set up while S3K was 2D. It has the same energy (green energy no less) and eye lasers. Just saying I wouldn't put it past them considering how deep they understand the fanbase at this point

The movie mech literally blows fire out of its nose like the boss in 3K does. Stop posting.

I'll be so glad thok is gone. It's a stupid name, it sounds weak and the rebound dash is a better version of it in every way, it even carries a pinball sort of aesthetic in feel and utility.

But I'm uneasy with what they'll actually replace thok with, did they ever talk about that? I saw some old preview video where they gave Sonic a wall spindash, I like it as a pseudo reference to Sonic Xtreme's wall cling and it helps alleviate just missing a platform like thok doesn't and rebound does.

>I saw some old preview video where they gave Sonic a wall spindash
I think that mod was called the climbdash? It's probably the best replacement for the thok, imo.
The rebound dash is interesting but it seems like one of those moves where the entire game would need to be designed around its inclusion. Climbdash seems like it has more of a "universal" function, in comparison.

Climb dash, I'd like to try it. Last thing I saw that had anything like it before the mb went down was a character mod called cosmic Sonic I think but I didn't download it. Fuck

If some kind of mod archive ever goes back up there was a gameplay mod called Reveries that included a move like the climbdash. Makes casual platforming flow much better compared to than in vanilla SRB2.

So, do we know how "done for" the forums are?
What about mod uploads?
There's gonna be so much lost content if the mods are gone too.

There's no way they're nuking the addons board they just made like that, it barely has been out for a year I think. It'll be back surely.

Hopefully they have backups, I'm not sure the details of this hacking situation but usually it's done under ransom of "if you want the original files back, then give us money or do something else for us"
I would expect any mid to large scale community to have these kinds of backups but sometimes I just don't know with Jr. Team and Kart Krew.

Ehhh, getting rid of the thok seems heavy handed to me unless you redesign the stages to account for it. And I don't think I like giving Sonic a climb dash when that would be better suited being given to a "new" character like Mighty or someone else. Way I see it, Sonic's moveset should be more about speed/momentum and not necessarily platform traversal since you have Tails, Knuckles, Fang, and even Amy for that. Each character should have their own niche, otherwise what's the point?

And you can argue against what I just said or seethe about it or whatever, but that's all irrelevant. Because ultimately, it doesn't matter what I or anyone ITT thinks. If you don't like the changes to vanilla SRB2, there'll be a mod that caters to your specific tastes anyway. I hardly ever play SRB2 unmodded at this point, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. That's the big appeal to the game for me. Let the discord trannies and zoomers change whatever they want to "their" gay project. At the end of the day, because of its modular nature, you can play SRB2 however you like. So who cares?

Unless of course the devs go full retard and make modding less accessible somehow, but again that's the major draw to SRB2, and that would be kill the playerbase overnight. THAT, I would care about.

See, you've got a point about how there'll probably be a mod for it day 1, but the thing with that is that (unless there's also a mod to disable this) you wouldn't be able to get emblems and shit when using it, so if you wanna 100% singleplayer mode you'd be forced to deal with the new not-thok.
your next line will be "who gives a shit about 100%-ing singleplayer", and the answer is (Me).

>make modding less accessible somehow
Kart Krew told me to my face that they "do not care" about the modders of SRB2K since it's meant to be a Sonic game before anything else

I promise you there's a chance Jr. have already gone beyond that much retard

lolno. You're talking about a coalition of hyperautists that have been developing the same game for 20 years, they're not gonna fold at the first sign of bullshit. Expect everything to be back online as it was within the next week but with NSA mogging cybersecurity.

>make a Sonic fangame on top of a Doom engine/sourceport
>actively state that you don't care about the modding community, even though modding is the whole reason why the framework of your fangame exists in the first place
retarded devs like these are what kill projects

>you wouldn't be able to get emblems and shit when using it, so if you wanna 100% singleplayer mode you'd be forced to deal with the new not-thok.
they are changing this

Oh shit, really? Well nevermind then.

I hope they replace it with a momentum based homing attack.
