Hydro city
But I prefer Hyrocity (Atrocity)
Verification not required

>>9991004
It's always been a portmanteau of "hydro" and "velocity". Then weebs added the space for no reason

Does it even matter? When will that ever come up in actual conversation?

>>9991017
Had an argument with some of the guys at work about this last week.

>>9991004

Hydro city

>>9991019
Did your supervisor tell you guys to "shut the hell up and get back to work because these burgers ain't going to flip themselves"?

>>9991028
I'm the supervisor and I fired the idiot who said it was "Hydro City" in case you were wondering.

>>9991026
This. When in doubt, check the kana.

>>9991026
>>9991051
You can read the kana either way. E.g. velocity is ヴェロシティ

It's meant to be two words, as confirmed by Sega.

>>9991057
If it were two words then there would be a space between the two words in the game, like there is with other zones.

>>9991004
Imagine participating in a Twitter meme. Imagine posting Twitter memes on /vr/.

>>9991081
Same place the city is here.

>>9991026
This literally proves nothing, the kana’s transliteration could easily be either.
There’s no space in the English, and it’s clearly not a city, and as evidenced by the developers trying to use Genocide City on Sonic 2, they’re more likely to pick something just because it sounds cool.

It's supposed to be a pun on "[high velo]city" by replacing "[high velo]" with "[hydro]" while also metaphorically referring to a water network as a "hydro city" (a high-velocity hydro city). You're right to say there isn't an English equivalent transliteration because it would mean pronouncing velocity like "velowcity" to better approximate the ロ sound. In other words, you can make everyone upset by saying /ˈhɐdro̞səti/

I was at a bar. Drinking, I drink alone. Anyway, this big 26yro dude 6' 6" loud and proud challenged me to darts. I told him, no, first we must drink, 4 stiff shots later we play one round of darts. I narrowly win. His buxom girlfriend looked dismayed. Next he challenged me to arm wrestling. I had my doubts that I could win but 4 more shots we will see. The look on his girlfriend and her friends faces, were of abject horror when I won the match. Then he shouted "winner takes all, a challenge of wit, you name the challenge!" So on a bar napkin I wrote "hydrocity" and asked him to pronounce it. He pronounced it "Hydro City" And the uproar in the bar subsided with laughter and the murmurs of girl friends crying. His buxom girlfriend looked down batted her eyes and said I guess you win all of us girls now anon. To which I replied "Only faggots talk about shit like this." And the big 6' 6" stud and I have been gay married with AIDS ever sense.

Which side was retarded enough to get filtered by the barrel where you have to press up/down to move it? That will tell you which pronunciation is wrong.

>>9991009
>for no reason
It's an ancient, water-based city, just like in Sonic 2, genius.

It's obviously Hydro City. How the fuck could anyone read it any other way?

>>9991830
Because it's displayed as a single word and anyone who knows anything about the English language would pronounce it similarly to atrocity because of it. Only peabrain mongoloids call it Hydro City.

>>9991004
>hydrossity shitposting is back
yep, it's summertime

People who say Hydro City are the same people who say skull-TOO-luh because they're too retarded to realize skulltula is a play on the word tarantula.

>>9992039
I think the nips aren't all that good with English word play. They do ESL for Japanese word play. Which is why I like any self respecting English speaker correct their errors and make their jank wordplay nice and clean. So I prefer the better way but the truth is probably the dumb and distasteful way.

>>9991483
>[citation needed]
Yep sure looks like a city. Just look at all the buildings and houses. Sonic Team just named stuff randomly because it sounds cool, see Metropolis Zone. Yep, that’s a metropolis.

The japanese manual describes it as an underground aqueduct.

The English text is especially telling, if it was really Hydro City they would have at least spelled it HydroCity.
That's what they did with IceCap Zone.

>>9999001

I know Hydrocity is not a city. However, Sega and their affiliates have spelled it with a space enough times that the "Hydro City" pronunciation is ingrained in my head. You can't stop me.

Use hydrocity in a sentence. What IS a hydrocity anyway? How does it affect human body?

>>9999596
It's a linguistic pun that combines "hydro" with "velocity." It was literally explained in >>9991330 but everyone keeps arguing anyway.

>>9999596
People suggest it’s a portmanteau of Hydro and Velocity. Sonic goes fast, and there’s water, so it checks out.

>>9999623
It honestly makes more sense than Hydro City. You're running through and on top of water at high speeds. The stage itself isn't even a city.

>>9999623

>>9999323
Maybe he was arrested for telling the truth, anon.

>>9999638
City Escape is a city, Hydrocity is not. Please provide literally one piece of evidence from its design that suggests it’s a city. Carnival Night, Spring Yard, Starlight, Chemical Plant, and Casinopolis all have backdrops that contain buildings and city like elements, especially Starlight, so it’s not like the devs were incapable of making cityscape levels.

>>9999713
There are pillars and windows in the background, suggesting it's a huge sunken palace or some kind of isolated underwater infrastructure made for living. Like Marble Garden/Zone from Sonic 1, or Aquatic Ruin. Maybe it's a remains of some ancient civilization occupied by Robotnik.

The lack of illuminated buildings doesn't mean anything.

>>9999782
It just looks like a big underground aqueduct. It's nothing like a city.

>>9999802

Looks like a very wide hallway.

>what you mean the made up bullshit fantasy name they called an area in a Sonic game doesn't mean anything and has no real world application outside of referencing itself? You can't just make up words!

hydrocity is one word.
in the japanese sonic 3 manual, its the only zone that doesn't have an interpunct "・" between the stage name in japanese, ハイドロシティ.
if it was hydro city, it would have been ハイドロ・シティ like every other zone.

is hydrocity a perfect name?
no
would hydro city have worked as a zone name?
yes
is the zone hydro city?
no

>>10000691
This could've been true if the game had other bullshit fantasy words. Like, if the Marble Garden was called Romansgard, Chaos Emeralds were called Gemblarghs or whatever.

>But in all seriousness, it doesn't really suit Sonic to be eating his animal friends.

You ever noticed how in Sonic's world, there are like several different types of animal kingdoms? First one is Sonic and friends themselves, just big talking anthro animals, second are half-sentient, non-talking Flickies, Pickies and other capsule critters, then we have smol animals that Chao are playing with and huge shit like orcas and jungle alligators.
Just what the fuck their world's evolution was doing

>>10004603
>pun
You keep using that word, I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Hydrocity isn’t a pun, it’s a portmanteau. They’ve used those before as well, Sandopolis and Casinopolis are examples. Also the Japanese language has several examples of English based portmanteaus, like smart phone => sumaho, don’t mind (doesn’t really make sense in English standards) => donmai, dragon quest => dorakue, omelette rice => omuraisu.

>>10004632
i learned something new :)

>>10004632
I never even thought of the Sandopolis example which is in the same game. The Hydro City people are definitely wrong

Jesus Christ, is half the thread like one guy who keeps repeating the "it's one word" talking point?
No one is arguing that! Literally the only time this came up is via Ian's(?) >>9999001 strawman! We know it's supposed to be written as one fucking word! That was never the point! Get it through your thick Sonitismo skulls (aw gee I wonder how you pronounce THAT word!)! We don't know how it's fricking pronounced! Some Jap came up with it and the katakana is inconclusive if you look at their transliterations of anglo-words! Even devs aren't fully sure of the correct pronunciation! Sega themselves doesn't give a shit and transcribes it any which way they want on a whim! And the English side are mostly trolls who like to get cheap thrills out of riling the fanbase up! "Uh, uh, Casinopolis!" BITCH HAVE YOU HEARD AMY'S PRONUNCIATION WHEN SHE MENTIONED IT IN SONIC HEROES? WHAT YA GONNA SAY NEXT? WHAT ARE YA GONNA SAY NEXT? WHAT ARE YA GONNA SAY NEXT?

CD actually has decent level design for the most part, it's really a different flavor of Sonic game, but even I'll admit some of the later stage's machines are tucked away a little too well

>>10007396

Nah, too many shitty gimmicky setpieces like the tops you have to ride on in Marble Garden, the pulleys in Mushroom Hill, those floating ring things in Death Egg, barrels in Carnival Night, everything about Sandopolis (Act 2), the list goes on...

Best Sonic games in terms of level design are 2, then 1, then CD, then 3+K dead last.

based.

>>10005596
One Japanese guy said he thinks it might be pronounced that way but he wasn't even sure because he doesn't speak english.

>>9991004
It's pronounced Best Zone

>>10009589
lmao no

>>10009589
2 has too many "hold right to win" zones.

I feel like 1 was the only Sonic game to get good level design; everything else is shit.

based.

>>9991004
Angel Island has a space in its name. If this stage were supposed to be "Hydro City", it would also have a space. Since it clearly doesn't, it's Hydrocity.

>>10010585
Easily the best water level in a platformer.
>>10009589
There are plenty of shitty gimmick set pieces in 2 as well. Rising lava cave in Hill Top Zone, floating platforms over instant death pits in Sky Chase act 2, ALL of Sky Chase act 1 sucks, the rising water with the moving blocks to climb in Chemical Plant 2, the moving platform before the boss in Metropolis 3, and the million triangle bumper portion of Casinopolis.
These things don’t bother me or detract from the experience, but your claim that S3&K being the only game with obnoxious gimmicks just isn’t true.

>>10005603
I don't know, man. It's right there in the boxart.

>>10012123
>Rising lava cave in Hill Top Zone
Not a problem if you're good and just avoid the lava.
>floating platforms over instant death pits in Sky Chase act 2
Not a problem if you're good at platforming.
>ALL of Sky Chase act 1 sucks
Fair, that's really the only thing wrong with 2.
>the rising water with the moving blocks to climb in Chemical Plant 2
Can be skipped before going into that area.
Also not really that annoying to go through.
>the moving platform before the boss in Metropolis 3
A platform game having platforms? Oh no, the horror!
Besides, a well-timed spindash jump skips like half of it.
>and the million triangle bumper portion of Casinopolis.
Not a problem if you're good with the physics of the game.

None of these are really as egregious as the crap 3/K pulls. Fuck that overrated game.

>>9991004
>Sonk 3
Is this a reference to Bonk?

>>10012254
These aren’t arguments, hahaha. None of the gimmicks in 3 qualify either if you don’t suck. I guess you just admitted to sucking at 3&K, way to go dumb ass.

>>10012371
>None of the gimmicks in 3 qualify either
Yes they do.
Do you honestly think having to fly around on a slow-ass top or stop to work a slow-ass pulley machine is fun? They just get in your way.

3&K is full of retarded design choices, wanna know why? Because it's the first one that was handled by Iizuka, the cancer that killed Sanic.

>>10012391
You can literally skip past all the pulley machines, and there’s only one mandatory spinning top that last about 3 seconds. You’re a dumb ass and it’s a skill issue. No one cares who created the game, you having to hide behind the level designer doesn’t strengthen your argument, just your autism.

>>10012123

Not true.
>and there’s only one mandatory spinning top that last about 3 seconds
Wrong again, you have to ride on a top at least 3 times in Act 1 and at least once in Act 2.
>You’re a dumb ass and it’s a skill issue
Skill has nothing to do with it. These are just lousy gimmicks that are simply not fun and waste the player's time with stupid shit.
>No one cares who created the game
People with an i.q higher than a chilidog do.

Thanks, anon. I'm always amazed at the lack of understanding regarding the cancer that is Iizuka. People act like he does not exist when he's primarily responsible for the series turning into shit for decades.

No but Marble Zone is a reference to Mario

None of the pulleys are mandatory, also there are no tops in act 2 of Marble Garden.
This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever read. It’s clearly a skill issue if you think these things are mandatory outside of like one of the tops to break a wall.
All Sonic games have gimmicks in levels, else they wouldn’t be unique or stand out. Sorry the game asks you to do something besides holding right, it must be hard for you to focus on both holding right and breathing out of your mouth at the same time.

Hydro shitty
Because it sucks

What do you think aqueducts were for? It's like saying the New York City sewers aren't part of New York City.

>>10012971
You're assuming it can't be pronounced hydrocity even if that does happen to be the way it's pronounced just because you think there's a possibility the level might take place under a city maybe. Even if it did you could still call the aqueduct area hydrocity zone.

I think that’s supposed to be two lions in profile, their faces meeting in the middle. Does kinda look like Mario though.

>>10012971
they're under the jurisdiction of the city but they're not part of the city. Same way you own a house but the house isn't you

>>10013285

I am the house.
