sonicroc

More than one is overdoing it. 

 

Sonic himself makes sense because he helped SEGA rival Nintendo, so he's part of Nintendo's history.

I guess that was my original attitude. It would have been maybe uncalled for to put another Sonic character into the original game... But I don't know, I guess since this is DLC anyway, it doesn't have the same feeling of, This is Official, Holy Lineup of Super Smash Bros. Characters; so I was like, what the heck, I wanna play as Robotnik.   

Well said. *bro fist*  Nice to have on here, btw! (even though your avatar is terrifying.)

Anyway, what's all this talk about Snively and SatAM Robotnik being combined into one character? As far as I can tell, he's 100% Snively, just with a name change (and a beard). If I changed my middle name to Lincoln, I wouldn't consider myself to be half me and half Abraham Lincoln.  :P

Or are you guys thinking of the fact that he is [for now] trusted by the "good guys'" military? I don't know, I think that's more just them trying to find a new role for Snively in this new universe, since his role as Robotnik's henchman has been usurped by Orbot and Cubot. Personality-wise, he's still acting exactly like the Snively we all love to distrust.

But I have to agree, when I first read the words "Dr. Julian Snively," I was like, "NOOOOO!!!! DON'T DO THAT!!!" But then I realized that he used to be called Snively Robotnik, so there's always been some name confusion between the two of them. As long as he is still "Snively," all is well. I was just worried they weren't gonna bring him back at all, lol...

Also, what are you guys talking about when you say Uncle Chuck isn't Sonic's uncle anymore? This one I have literally no idea where it's coming from...

I'm finally [almost] completely caught up in the comics! Yay me!!!

(Btw, now that I've finished Waves of Change, I gotta give this one to RedAuthar: The ending was pretty stupid. "CHAOS?!" Yeah...)

If I had a button in front of me that would go back in time and make it so the reboot never happened, I wouldn't. I think I'm actually enjoying the comics now better than ever before. The werehog story, and the Sonic the Fighters arc (I've only read part 1) are just so much fun! Everything just feels so fresh to me.

And Ian Flynn no longer has to walk carefully to avoid tripping over two decades of continuity. Now he can do whatever the heck he wants. This is truly Ian Flynn Unleashed!

I went back and read a few old issues of Sonic, and lo and behold... they're still there. It's as fun to read them as ever. It doesn't feel like they're leading up to the newest comics, but it never really did. The old comics just feel so completely different than they do now under Ian Flynn.

If you ask me, the reboot is not by any means the biggest transition the comic has undergone. If you're not convinced, pull out random comics throughout the series' length compare them. The idea that the comic was always on one giant timeline was always entirely superficial.

Some people have claimed that the reboot "ruined their childhood." But no, your childhood is safe. Now we are getting something new. And awesome.

So yeah, just my two cents. (Or was that four cents?)

My main complaint with the 2nd trailer is that there are a few times where the voice dialogue is so low that I can't understand what they're saying. To be more specific:

At 0:37 I think Antoine is saying something?

Naugus at 0:40

Naugus again at 0:51

It seems to me this could be fixed by a combination of turning the dialogue volume up and turning the music volume down. I've noticed that on TV shows, the music volume seems to turn down whenever someone's talking, and then go back up to the normal volume almost right afterwards.

On the positive side, I do like the voices that I can hear!

Also, it seems a little awkward to have the picture of Naugus on its side at the end, mostly because it goes against the orientation of the text.

But on the whole, this project is looking pretty fun so far.
