Remember when Sonic 3 first came out and Knuckles was the cool new character?

Back then, there was only Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. It was interesting because Tails was like the sidekick, which was cool during the Sonic 2 era, but then Knuckles came along and he became Sonic's rival, which was even cooler. He was the Vegeta to Sonic's Goku, if you will.

But now the series is so convoluted with characters, Knuckles doesn't really stand out anymore. It's sad, he had a great start and he was the original rival but now he's become irrelevant, washed up in a sea of shitty characters like Silver and Shadow. Now he's more like Piccolo, an ex-rival who is no longer important.

Knuckles is still the best character in my eyes, and as far I'm concerned there are no Sonic games that came out after him.

>> No.1344485

amen. the lord of dreads has spoken

>> No.1344484

Yeah, I remember that and I didn't even have a Genesis. I just saw the ads with Knuckles and thought "shit, this guy looks hardcore, he must mean business." The fact you could play as him seemed like Sega was really heating things up and taking Sonic to the next level. The prospect of a brand new playable character was pretty awesome. Meanwhile I was still stuck playing as boring old Mario each game.

>> No.1344495

Sonic is the only cool dude in the series.

Every sonic female gets a pass because I want to sniff and fuck their asses.

Okay, maybe Knuckles is alright. But I have never liked Tails. When I remember, I turn him off on Sonic 2 and go it solo.

So what I'm saying here is that Sonic would be much cooler if it was just Sonic and Knuckles.

I have a theory that Knuckles and Amy are or were originally intended to be one in the same. His long girly "hair", 2 big round breasts err, "fists". Those are the main two but there's lots of little things like his inferior jump height, shorter campaign, the fact he turns pink when goes super sayan, his materialistic obsession with valuable gemstones.

They were both developed roughly around the same time. Who's to say that some high-up member of Sonic Team or Sega didn't want to have a female rival for Sonic that started out as Amy and ended up as Knuckles, or vice versa? It could be a well kept secret among the team, a conspiracy.

I'm pretty much just joking though.

Knuckles was always destined to be this, regardless of how many new characters were added and how simple or complex the plots to each game got. The entire "rivalry" in S3&K was because Robotnik lied to him and the entire situation was patched up by the end of the game's storyline. Knuckles was less "rival enemy" and more "friendly dude who occasionally competes against you" as early as Drift 2, keeping that during Sonic the Fighters, 3D Blast and R with Triple Trouble being the only game where he's a full antagonist again. Knuckles is more analogous to Yamcha or Tien.

Knuckles was my favorite too, outclassing Tails simply for being the new character. That, and his ability to glide and climb to places that not even Tails himself could reach because of the limited flying ability.

of all the later characters though, Cream would be my last favorite. Mainly because she could also fly, and could command her Chao to attack enemies in the Advance games. everyone else was just Poochie except they still live every once in a while,

>That, and his ability to glide and climb to places that not even Tails himself could reach because of the limited flying ability.
You are now realizing just how significant his super glide ability is.

In case any doesn't know it's a section of code in the way he's programmed that basically doubles his downward air speed in the opposite direction (ie, up) if you glide right before hitting an enemy. That's what enables him to rebound huge distances and really get into many areas that even Tails can't get to by flying. The game as a whole would definitely be a lot more bland without it.

Sonic lore and characters have always been awful. Since Day One. A bunch of flippant animals with 'tude fight Theodore Roosevelt. I didn't buy into Sonic being "cool" back in the day, and I don't buy into it now.

Oh, don't get me wrong, the first three games are fucking amazing. They're stupid fun. Fast, great music, moderately challenging. But now the series is leaning on its weakest assets: the characters, including Sonic himself.

I agree I like Sonic's design better but as far as gameplay goes I think in S3K Knuckles had a little/a lot more to offer. If Sonic could stop on a dime and super bounce, maybe... but as is, the shields are fun and all but they can't compare with climbing and gliding and everything else.

But yeah, I'm not a huge fan of KTE's design either. It's not bad, but Sonic at least beats him there.

Sonic 3:
Complex, multiple branching paths and routes through the levels, which are all highly detailed with tons of secrets and hidden stuff you didn't even know existed, even 20 years later. Very high replay value.
Mario 3:
Relatively simple, linear levels with a few obvious "secrets" that once you inevitably stumble upon them that's all there is to know. Average replay value.

Here is one small example.
I couldn't post the whole map for Sonic because it's almost 8 mb, the Mario map was fine though only 193 kb.
It's worth mentioning that although I used red and blue to denote Knuckles and Sonic's paths respectively, it's entirely possible for any of the 3 characters to follow any of the others routes.

It's not really cherry picked, though. The sonic map is from 5-2 in Sonic, the Mario map is from 5-4 in Mario. The games are set up differently, but basically Mario 3 goes 3 areas and a sub-boss, then 3 more areas and a world boss. So, area 5-4 through 5-6 would be the closest thing to an "act 2" in Sonic. I didn't put the other 2 areas though because it's really not fair as they're technically separate levels. The fact that the games came out on different systems at different times doesn't really matter for the sake of comparison of the two, which as I've already admitted cannot be accurately compared because different games, but still... this is the closest results you can get.

So you want miss whole thing he wanted to tell.
On topic: I'm kinda agree that later Sonic games have too much characters, but without them it would turn into something like Mario series. Sonic would be Mario, Tails would be Luigi, Amy would be Peach and Robotnik would be Bowser.
>>1346371
The only thing I didn't like in that game is that it's too RNG-dependant and characters lacked damage. Seriously, the only character that could do real damage was Amy (at least prior to moment you meet Big, then I somehow fucked up my save and didn't want to do all that stuff again).

Sonic 3 & Knuckles was the last great game before the decline started.

Sonic Unleashed was a halfway great game, the day stages were great but the night stages were slow and plodding. Colors was good. Generations was good but short, but it's also on PC so you can mod it to hell and back (my favorite mod is one that adds all the Unleashed day stages). Lost Worlds was a step back but not terrible.

The idea of a JRPG-style Sonic game isn't by itself bad (and would probably be a good idea, Mario series has RPGs too), the execution was lacking. It did however have a pretty good plot and characterization. The character interactions were top notch and the guys who handled plot and dialogue were pretty much the only ones doing their job right.
