>tails is player 1
what did they mean by this

Why the fuck did the last one get archived so quick.?

Remember, Classicbros and Adventurefriends are allies and share the same lore. We must come together to reform the boostcucks and save the series!

Are you all jumping for joy?

Since we don't have a full recording of the Mania panel from SDCC here's a twitter that retweeted most bits of recordings of it for those who are interested:
twitter.com/SonicNewsNow
In case that twitter account missed some here's a source of a recorder that recorded a decent amount but I'm pretty sure the other twitter got everything:

Enjoy this webm of a glitch that happened during development of the game.

>implying adventurefags are not the ones screeching the loudest as they got shafted since 06
forces will probably be the 06 of boost though

Anyone fill me in on the leaks?

Tomatopotamus was never good

Alright let me through something past you dudes

>Branching paths

How do you feel about it?

Should of waited for someone to start shit before posting that.

Why would we they not record it and show us? Is it because we're not important?

Here friendo

They started shit last thread, gotta keep the positivity flowing

>Eggman is heavily depressed after Sonic 3

scrapped concept sadly

Current story is basically
>race to the energy source

>latest episode had a pingas reference

...

Honestly, there's no reason to make this pasta anymore, the game is almost perfect in everything. Fuck you if you hate it. That's all.

Tee Lopes makes good remixes, but I don't think some of the songs in Mania's OST have the same kind of impact the ones in the classic games did.

It's romhack rehash

Take your nostalgia goggles off.

The only thing I haven't been fond of is his Chemical Plant Act 1 mix. The iconic DUH DUH DUH was made really grating.

Did you know that despite the absurdity, there's statistically a 100% chance at least one person will either be bummed or mad at the fact that Shadow isn't in Sonic Mania.

Strange isn't it?

Leaker already confirmed it's fake [/
spoiler]

I said some of the songs, didn't I? Mirage Saloon and Studiopolis sound great, and I dig the Green Hill Act 2 remix and the boss music, from what I've heard of it. But, Dimension Heist doesn't have the same kind of kick that other special stage songs had. Compare it to this, for example:

youtube.com/watch?v=yr6ARSYo8Rw

posts stop bumping threads after 500 replies. we're busy today. the last thread during/after the panel was like that too

I'll only be disappointed if this guy doesn't show

I like most of his tracks so far, I just find Flying Battery Act.1 to lack the oomph it had in the original so it's my least favorite so far and you have no idea how disappointing that is to me since Flying Battery usually rocks my dick. Beyond that though it's been pretty solid.

nah i agree, he's really good at riffing crazy on the melodies established by the classic games, but when it comes to making original compositions they kinda seem unfocused and all over the place in favor of crazy solos and 90s dance beats with no melodic structure to make those elements stand out within the song

Practically mandatory if you want a good Classic style level. Linearity should be the exception and not the rule.

good

Well yeah there are people even stupider than that considering we have two collages of deviantart posts displaying their shit tastes.
I like Dimension Heist, but I also vastly prefer the JP CD special stage music as well.

What's the point of Hyper Sonic anymore? Just give Super Sonic the double jump and screenflash and we're golden.

Nah son I mean branching paths in the sense that you could potentially end up in a different zone

Shoulda clarified then friendo.

I think it's a neat concept that could add a lot of replay value but it'll probably annoy some people.

a la castlevania 3? might be an interesting idea, but sonic games tend to be short, so I don't think it would be too good

They already confirmed no Super Emeralds.

It's basically SS3, it's stronger, faster, but ultimately no point in using it since most things are doable at the super level

I wish he'd show up in a 3d game, it'd be satisfying going through all the bosses in forces as the god of seizures

You mean multiple exits per zone (each leading to different levels)? Would be pretty nifty -- but it'd cut the game's length down horribly.

If you mix those two you get Sonic Advance-fags.

We need more running bosses. Advance 2 was shit, but the bosses were tight. I'm so happy the studio polis hard boiled seems to be a running boss

Friendly reminder that Iizuka says this is Tails' and Knuckles' canon Super forms.

>Not being the nice older brother who let's their younger brother have a go at being Sonic
Meanie

>
thanks homie. Couldn't reply quicker making din din for my family ugh.

Running bosses are cool but an entire game of them got old fast.

Cool idea, but I think I'd prefer it more like Sonic 3 and Knuckles with a higher, middle and lower path

...

>Hyper Sonic is suppose to be the most powerful form of Sonic
>still dies when time is up
Angel Island's curfew is stronger than Sonic could ever be

Classic>>>Boost>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Adventure

When will this meme end?

Never. It's literally all anyone has as shitposting material against Sonic Mania aside from the weak ass 'Sonic was never good' shit.

I hope soon. It is true cancer

Iizuka is also creating literally a DeviantArt-tier villain for the newest Sonic game

Piss off

>share the same lore

This doesn't even make sense. Also Generations is the only actually fun 3D Sonic game. Colors is okay but FUCKING WISPS

I loved Advance and Advance 3 and would love to replay but I think they need like HD remakes with a wider field of view.

Who decides the rule only hedgehogs can go super anyway?

>Adventure
No thanks, that shit was the beginning of the fall of the series.

This is correct, praise be user.

>The Sup Forums leak is fake.

I WANT TO BELIEVE IT DAMN IT

GIVE ME HYDROCITY

LITERALLY THE ONLY FUN WATER LEVEL IN THE CLASSIC GAMES

The only reason to assume the Adventure and Classic games have the same backstory is the fact Amy was kidnapped by Metal Sonic.

But she's clearly not remembering the same event as Sonic CD. Pic related.

He isn't making Forces, Nakamura and Kishimoto are.

ONLY HEDGEHOGS CAN GO CHAOS CONTROL
>only hedgehogs can go chaos control
ONLY HEDGEHOGS CAN GO CHAOS CONTROL
>only hedgehogs can go chaos control

Leaker debunked it himself

Are you saying that Aquatic Ruin and Sylvania Castle (actually is that even a water level?) aren't fun?

>to report
LOL

>no super emeralds

Well fuck, I hope they give Tails some way to bullshit Super Tails then. It'd be nice to have a reward for getting all the emeralds again with him.

I know how you fucking feel, user, I need some form of confirmation for Hydrocity, it being a popular water level in the series doesn't help me enough.

Advance 2 overdid it with the running bosses. They started to feel similar to each other

Just stop being retarded and make him go super with just the regular emeralds.

Fuck this "Sonic is a sayian and Tails is a human" bullshit.

2D sonic games live or die based on mania's sales. If I were you I wouldn't be banking on Generations 1.5 2D Remix to do the job. How badly do you think the returning levels will be panned by the normies and critics? [spoilers] Forces will outsell Mania by a truckload because of memes and physical editions. The only negative things holding mania back is the CD inspirations and the returning levels [/spoiler]

Yeah, I saw that earlier. I just want my Hydrocity, man. ;_;

Oh yeah, I forgot about Sonic 4. That one's okay.

Aquatic Ruin is pretty hit and miss. But I'm not one to talk because my favorite Sonic 2 level is Metropolis Zone

I didn't know how much I liked Hydrocity until I actually sat down and played through S3&K because of the Mania announcement last year. I usually hate water levels, but Hydrocity is a fucking blast.

That leak might be fake but my faith remains in Hydrocity ;_;

Chill. At least one sonic 3 zone has to be in the game, and Hydrocity is the most likely by a big margin

MUH
FUCKING
DICK

>not posting the superior design

...

I like all sanic games.
Stop that.

The official reasoning was that Tails is too young to actually use the Chaos Emeralds. I guess it makes sense, but it's still annoying.

Give me a reason to collect them with Tails, damn it.

eggman hates furries was the shit

youtube.com/watch?v=y4fQfSeEFX8

i love how they are mixing all the special stages together!

please

I don't know how bad returning levels will be panned, because all i've seen from people that got hands on with Mania is praise, including critics.

The CD inspirations are fine as long as it doesn't leak into level design, and i'm cool with the returning stages, they're so changed up they may as well be new in Act 2 anyway.

Why is Earthworm Jim spelled "Rthworm"?

I really do hope we get to see the Special Stage in action soon. It looks cool so far but I'm kind of mad all we get is a static image.

At least the theme is kick ass.

Make tails have infinite light while super.

>No shitty half-pipe for the hundredth time
Based.

Launch Base is going to pull the upset just you watch

People love to want to forget Sonic 4, but I legitimately think that the second episode was a very solid and fun Sonic game, just short. Hopeing for a Sonic 4 Complete or something someday that allows you to play as Sonic, Sonic and Tails, or Tails while being able to play through all the zones with episode II's physics. Too bad some of episode II's gimmicks rely on the Sonic/Tails tag team, but also too bad that Sega and fans both want to stay away from Sonic 4 as much as possible, rendering Sonic 4 complete a highly improbable project.

>Generations
>3D
It's a 2D game with occasional 3D segments.

you piece of shit nigger. you stole my pic from the last sonic mania thread.

FLIGHT!! GODDAMNIT, FUUUCK

...

Why is this one so blurry?

I hope he can make music like Sonic CD JP and Sonic R

does he have free samples of the Super Freeze Breath™?

Sonic 4 Ep 2 was pretty fun, I agree with you there. Ep 1's badness really gave it a negative stigma but it's not an awful game. It's short, sure, but it's still an enjoyable time. It's just putting it up compared to the other classic games really harms it, but I think on it's own episode 2 wasn't awful.

The Metal Sonic music in that game was really good though. And Episode Metal was an okay bonus but I wish it was a bit more.

I wish shadow was in mania.
But i have 0 reasons to be mad or angry.

okay, I give up. What the fuck is this?

Lock-on should've at least allowed Chaos Emeralds to transfer from the first game and for you to play Episode I's levels with Sonic/Tails in the new physics. I truly did enjoy the somewhat new concepts found throughout Sonic 4, cool little gimmicks like carrying a torch in Lost Labyrinth or running on rollercoaster tracks in White Park are awesome. Mania will have some of that, but moreso will have gimmicks that expanded on previous ones (which isn't bad). Hoping for a Sonic 5 or a Mania 2 with all new levels someday.

Someone edited Taxman's ring jump green screen into Chemical Plant.
