Another Friday, another question. Yadda Yadda...


Do you approve or disapprove of the presence of Chaos Emeralds in this storyline?

I know a few of you out there will be creaming yourself over them, while others are probably ready to kill me over them. For both groups I would like to point you towards Gojira the head writer for Sea3on. It was fully his idea to put them in, so any creaming and/or killing please direct towards him and not me. Thank you.

As long as they don't become a deus ex machina, I really don't mind. The Time Stones had potential drawbacks. Sally and Sonic knew the risk that using the stones could probably kill them.

I think if you are going to use the Chaos Emeralds in the same way, there needs to be some sort of significant drawback or horrible risk involved with using such artifacts of great power. They shouldn't be treated like the Dragonballs where you collect them, use them, and do whatever you want without any problems.

Like Fleetway's Super Sonic? That's be cool

Anyway, I like the idea of the emerald being more dangerous than expected: in the segasonic series they're like the savior for all the troubles. In se3son, I expect them to be fatal. Afterall, they're not called "Chaos Emeralds" for nothing.

I agree with Kao and Metallou. If they could be used at will with no consequence then it kinda takes away from the effect of the almightiness. I think if Chaos Emeralds are added that, as Kao said, they shouldn't be like the Dragonballs.

Alternatively, there might be no inherent risk in using them but their use could still lead to some other kind of unfortunate situation. Like on its own it's a deus ex machina, but in the context of the story it turns out you're just getting out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Good point.

The question is though, what drawback is harsh enough, but not to the point of being too risky to use?

[furrykef]

There's no such thing as "too risky to use". Remember Ghostbusters -- "never cross the streams?" Guess what they had to do to save the day.

Actually I'm glad to see the use of Chaos Emeralds, the only thing I say is we must see Super Sonic by the end of this season then!

That being said, there should be a danger behind using them, some kind of drawback. What would be interesting is maybe Sonic uses a Power Ring or so to try to stabilize the Emerald's power and in turn it turns him into Super Sonic. That would be interesting. I don't know what his drawback would be but it should be something that could scare everyone into never using them again.

How bout having Uncle Chuck or Rotor combine a Chaos Emerald and Power stone into one super stone, thus making Chaos Rings?

Just a thought.

[wildfire]

well, I agree with the inherent drawback in the Chaos Emeralds being used. But I also don't think the drawback should be readily apparent. Like in my Chaos Chronicle fanfiction series (spoilers for my like, one reader.) where Sonic's use of the emeralds causes the creation of Shadow, a being made entirely of negetive Chaos Energy. Some people are definitely going to be against the inclusion of SEGA Sonic characters, so maybe a different character could be used. I just thought it was a good idea.

Fleetway's Super Sonic ROCKED. I'd love to see something similiar in Sea3on, especially with how Sonic deals with it.

"Sure, you can have that unlimited power, go straigt ahead! Oh. But you're going to go murderous psychopath while using it and well, it'll auto-trigger whenever the stress gets way to high, have fun!"

The way Fleetway and SatAM Sonic handle it would be VERY different though. Fleetway Sonic never had friends per-se, just minions and admirers.

[saber16]

You guys do whatever. If you think it's for the good of the story, keep it in. Don't just throw in for no reason. And as for Super Sonic... I never really cared for the transformation outside of the games, mainly because it was no questions asked or answered fix 'em up, with the exception of the Fleetway series (which I never read). I just don't feel there's any reason for Sonic to transform in the SatAM series.

[Cheezmatt]

I didn't really care for the use of Deep Power Stones in the series itself, so I certainly don't care for Sega's equivalent plot devices. I think it's also better to introduce elements that SatAM/Sea3on can call its own.

[Vampfox]

I don't mind there being Chaos Emeralds in the Sea3on comic, as long as there are limits on what they can, and can't do. In the video games they only seem to be a deus ex machina. in Sonic 06 they bought Sonic back to life.
They need to have set limits. As long as they have that then I won't mind them being in the comic.
