Tee is a fucking god.    Dude is easily going to be a VGM Legend by next decade.

This reminds me of Mini DJ from the SF USA cartoon.

 

Edit: 

Apparently the creators of SonicSmackdown actually have their own original fighting game they are working on

This feels very Chadouken

This dude's Long John Baldry impression is so fucking good.

Looks like Super Sonic might get some sort of boost or something?  Dunno...could just be nothing but I'm sure they didn't specifically put the camera on his eyes to show they were blue instead of red for no reason.

 

 

Comic book stuff:  Finally got caught up on the latest issue and "Duo" is playing games.  I would have thought he would have laid low a little bit longer but he's acting like Whisper won't shoot him in the face in broad daylight lol.

I miss this series. I'd like to get back into this.

Well...Where did you leave off?  That's question no. 1.  Question no. 2 from me would be have you played Sonic Mania yet?  If you haven't go do that immediately.

I left off on Sonic Mania. Really great, that game is. I can't say that I'm a gamer, but want to again.

This just....beautiful...omg...

Their previous game Fallen Star was pretty good to.

Apparently if you use the clone powers and a clone gets hit, then you lose rings?  uhhhh

You're pretty much caught up on the must play official stuff imo then if Mania is where you left off.  Frontiers is a step in the right direction and the free updates have been decent with the big update coming later next month.  It's hard for me to objectively say it's a must play though.  Game has problem but its fun if they continue to build off what they're doing with it (which they've said is the plan) then games to come afterward really have a chance at being something special.  If you're interested in trying the game out though I'd recommend getting it when it's on sale....which at this moment coincidentally it is on Amazon.

$40 dollar range I feel is pretty worth it.

Sonic Origins Plus is $10 off on Amazon currently if you haven't picked it up yet

Gameplay with music

 

[Hawkingbird]

Well, this is a take I didn't expect

 

 

I thought the 3DS version of generations was good.

[Sonichuman]

 

The image description says "Concept art of Sonic the Hedgehog rolling, running, and jumping through a series of tubes, waterslides, and jets in Lagoon City Zone. Despite many similarities, it has no relation to that one zone in Sonic 3 that shall not be named."

I'm not surprised by this take unfortunately.  Things are always going to be subjective of course but and the only one of those that I've played/own personally is Sonic Lost World 3DS and I can definitely agree that it is lacking.  The major complaint I've heard regarding Generations 3DS is that the stages are too barren without much going on in them.

They are trying to be cheeky about this because of the discourse surrounding how the name is supposed to be said.  I'd say you can even see it starting up a bit in the comments but that would involve you running into a brolic Shadow stepping out of a pool....

I'm assuming he's making more music for the update......right?

Looks like Evan Stanley from the IDW comics was responsible for the art in the new trailer

Edit:

Yeah...Mimic shouldn't even tipped his hand like that in the last issue if he was truly trying to infiltrate.  That was really dumb on his part.

I really need to start reading IDW Sonic. Wave 3 of free Sonic Frontiers DLC looks like it is gonna go so HARD.

The comic is good.  Great even man.  Some would say its the best consistent Sonic content out at the moment.  There is a reason the metal Virus saga put Ian in the position he is currently.

[Sonichuman]

I finished reading the latest issue today and I can see why people are mad about Mimic.  This character did the whole "gets barely touched and pretend I'm in a full body cast" bit and everyone fell for it hook line and sinker.  Because Silver and Whisper overstepped in their investigation, they only helped him further infiltrate.  Extremely curious as to the amount of shit that is going to hit the fan in later issues because of this.

 

Anywho, have a listen to some of what Ohtani is cooking for the update

 

Edit:

 

OST featuring the DLC tracks will be out 10/2

The Sonic Symphony played in London this past week end and seeing some of the clips of it have been great.  They got the whole crowd hype and singing the songs.  Dude they got singing the songs is not bad.  He does ok.

Edit:

 

Looks like they also played the theme song for Sonic Superstars there

You can hear what sounds like a reference to "It Doesn't Matter" SA1 version in the track at around 1:37 specifically the guitar solo

Looks like Johnny will be at some of the Sonic Symphony performances in the future

If he's at one of the events then I'm sure the playlist will likely more revolve around him being there for the 2nd half buuuut...It'd be REEALLY interesting if they got him to perform one of the boss themes from Frontiers.

Well...if Shadow is able to show up at the place that Nine took the shards then that's a wrap.  He'll be called Nine when he walks in and then Zero when he walks out.

[Sonichuman]

 

L.A.'s concert is about to be LIT.  I need to see vids of the crowd going in when the boss themes cut on.

There's been some discourse about update 3 that I've been seeing.  People are upset that Update 3 is too hard especially in regards to a boss rush that you have to do with no replenishing rings and a perfect parry.  It's just kind of funny cause people were also complaining about the game being too easy so Kishimoto clearly took that feedback and was like "...aight bet"

I played a bit of it a couple days ago and the jank that plagued the base game hasn't necessarily been fixed but some of the new cyberspace levels have now been made with spindash in mind and from some clips I've seen of people playing the platforming challenges, it actually looks like it could be fun and just takes some practice.

Sonic Symphony Stuff

Spoiler

 

Apparently Kellin and Johny both sang Live and Learn at this concert.   I'm hoping that they're recording some of the performances so people can hear them clearly.

Sonic Frontiers DLC OST has been put up on SittingonClouds.

 

Looks like Ohtani listened to people on twitter and put the instrumentals for most of the vocal tracks.

I started the Wave 3 DLC a few nights ago, but haven't gotten too far. I love that Amy's tarot cards are a part of her attacks. Girl also has mad air time. Also, her movement theme is so good.

 

I heard that some peeps were mad that Wave 3 DLC is no cakewalk. Like, what do these people want? They griped when it was easy, now they moan when it becomes a challenge. 

[Sonichuman]

Climbing the towers in this game can be heartbreaking.  You ever watch someone play through Bennet Foddy's Getting Over It?  That's the kind of heartbreak you can expect when you fuck up.
