How about this theory, the Chaos emeralds have the power to know who is the chosen one to take care of them, Sonic isn't the care taker and Knuckles knew how to punch him in the exact right spot to disable Sonic's super mode. Then the emeralds detected Knuckle's presence and they just scattered on the floor.

(Knuckles punched him in the nuts.)

No you're right, he is very fan-ficy.The reason it seems like a fan-fic though is because it is a tired concept and can be universally applied to any hero to give them a villain. It's a sort of lazy way to make a counterpart to a main character.

(Translation of Japanese manual)
Some days later, Knuckles was patrolling the altar of the island's seven Chaos Emeralds, but all traces of the Emeralds had vanished. While in his relentless investigation of the island, Knuckles encountered an unfamiliar man in the woods.

The man called himself Dr. Eggman, and already knew Knuckles was the guardian of the Chaos Emeralds. He said to Knuckles:

"I am a scientist who came here to stop (?) that egg. Uumu, since you are the Chaos Emeralds' guardian I knew I had to inform you. The truth is, there is an evil hedgehog named Sonic that has been interfering in my research, he is the one who has stolen this island's Chaos Emeralds."

"The Chaos Emeralds were stolen....!"

With Dr. Eggman's ingenious lies, Knuckles was very easily tricked. That is how Knuckles' challenge to Sonic was started.

So to correct my original statement, Knuckles thinks Sonic's Emeralds are the Super Emeralds.

IIRC the manual mentions Eggman tricking Knuckles into thinking Sonic wants to steal the Emeralds to keep them, and then convinces him that Eggman is the good guy who wants to help him.

There's even one part of the game where Knuckles realizes he was tricked.

But he was probably just told to "Beware the Stealer of the Master Emerald" but wasn't told which one of them was the "bad guy"

Then Robotnik waltzed and went "Yeah, the blue thing is the bad guy. He even stole all my Chaos Emeralds, dude. That's why he's coming here; to steal yours!" and Knuckles went to work.

Robotnik actually got all the Chaos Emeralds, but one of his machines fucked up and blasted them everywhere. Knuckles gets tricked AGAIN by Robotnik into thinking Sonic and Tails were out for evil because Knuckles is about as sharp as a bag of wet mice.

Don't let the modern games fool you; Knuckles was pretty much a (pardon the pun) knuckle-dragging idiot for most of the 90s. That and the fact that Sonic and Knuckles weren't actually friends until the end of Sonic Adventure. And even then it was "Sort of"

No, you're probably just in your 20s now, grew up with the Genesis games, and were old enough back then to realize Sonic Adventure 2 was an awful game, whereas most people who consist of the "fandom" today are probably young kids or teenagers who grew up with the 3D games.

At least, that's the story with me. I was 12 when Adventure 2 came out and I didn't outright hate it at the time, but man oh man something was way off. Enough to turn me away from the series as a whole for a long time. Adventure 1 was lousy but it has its merits to a small degree. Adventure 2 is just bleh.

Super Saiyan was first seen at the end of the Freeza saga in Dragon Ball Z. That was first aired in 1991 IN JAPAN(North American unknown). Super Sonic was first seen in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which was released in 1992 in Japan, US, and Europe.

Yup. Copycats.

Sonic was originally suppose to surf onto the island. I'm guessing they scrapped this intro because they wanted to introduce knuckles immediately and couldn't think of a better way to have him lose the emeralds.

The comic's continuity is even fuckier.
His spikes? They're a cause of his father's genetic experimentation on himself and Knuckles as an embryo.

It's tedious, having to change between characters feels like an obstacle in game mechanics. The game should have obstacles not playing with the characters by switching to overcome them. I don't think it suits well a 3D environment when the characters stick together like Siamese twins

Three words to describe the character change mechanism:

Annoying, awful, shitty.

I had a Sega Genesis and played all the sonic games as they came out (except for Chaotix). Looking back on it now, SA's storyline is pathetically weak, But the redesigned characters were nice, the gameplay was fun, when you weren't fishing (why did Big get 5 levels and Amy only got 3?), and I liked the exploration aspect, plus the only storyline we'd had up until that point was Robotnik is an asshole, Knuckles is a moron.

SA2 began the descent into shittiness. I actually liked the storyline more, but the gameplay suffered. No exploration, tails is stuck in the stupid walker thing, Amy Rose is relegated to npc status, and we got the first inclusion of rail-grinding. Seriously, IMO, rail grinding, and the homing attack in 2D games are the two worst things in modern sonic games.

Heroes continued the downward spiral, but was still kind of fun. The return of the chaotix, Amy, and the E-series was nice, but I really hated the team vs team battles and the whole game just felt like it was missing something. It just didn't feel memorable.

Sonic 2006: Now they're just fucking with us.

3D Sonic gameplay was fucked from the start of Adventure. Instead of focusing just on Sonic's gameplay, they added in everything they could possibly think of and it resulted in one giant clusterfuck. Adventure 2 wasn't much better. However, the story in both games was pretty good. In Sonic Heroes the story, voice acting and overall production quality was worse, but the gameplay was better simply because it wasn't a complete clusterfuck all the time (aside from the Chaotix). It wasn't until Shadow and 06 that both gameplay and production quality were shit.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 21 13:20:14 2013 No.507882 >>503932 Sonic Adventure is a good game, it has annoying amount of glitches but there's nothing really broken, and story is okay (that robot... Gamma or something). Sonic Adventure 2 is terrible, it's stupid and unplayable.

The current eic is trying to kill off and bury as many of the Archie characters as he can (save for the ones too powerful/awesome to ignore) and has inserted a ton of callbacks to the games in the writing. The plots are still srs bns, but know when to let up on it now and then
