#unfair sonic

[maitroll]

How does Sonic feel about the injustice of it all? Like, no one ever said or did anything for him as an abandoned kid, leading him to believe this was a normal thing, yet now they're all turning around and telling him this is the worst possible thing he could have done? Can he like, counter sue the people of Green Hill (or wherever it is he grew up) for negligence or whatever? And yeah, he did the wrong thing but he truly didn't know any better, and if ignorance isn't a good enough excuse for him then it's not a good enough excuse for anyone else either! (Also think its a bit unfair that Shadow's not getting punished even tho he not only agreed with Sonic, but actively encouraged his bad decisions...)

As someone stated, he got double trauma when he learned that IT IS NOT NORMAL to leave a child in the wild.

Sonic is actually a very well adjusted person, this has to be one of his biggest if not THE biggest failure of his life.

He thinks of his childhood as full of adventure and challenge, that's when he met tails and all his friends. He really can't think of a different life he could've had.

But he now realizes that in days when it rained or when he fell sick all alone in the forest, there should've been someone taking care of him.

#sonadow fail dads au #the government is unfair. specially if some shit like the CIA is involved. #Shadow could have like #joined sonic. #but he didn't bc he was maddddd lolll

ALRIGHT! What time is it? Debunking time! XDD

This image up here is the original edit made by @/rayactive factory on Twitter 2 years ago. Not a screenshot of a mod or a glitch but an edit.

And this is a cropped image of their edit, reposted by someone else without context less than 2 weeks ago, making people assume this image is really from the game:

The original creator even tried to explain here, and confirmed once again it's an edit:

Unfortunately, the misinformation has spread too far, and I see it being called "a glitch" almost daily on my dash. On the one hand, it is fantastic that this gave rise to such a wave of awesome arts, but on the other hand, the misinfo is pretty unfair to the game (and imho dismissing ray's work as well but that's my personal pet peeve). Like, you don't even have to credit the creator but at least don't mislabel their edit =<

Please share this post so it reaches everyone who has seen this edit and was curious to know where it's from, confused about it or even believed it to be a simple glitch 🙏

You guys ever think about Gerald messing with Shadow’s memories of Maria? How we have nothing other than Shadow’s memories of Maria to know her by. Do you think he changed more than her final wish? Was she really a force of pure good like she is in his memories? Were the blemishes smoothed over, the happy times emphasized just to make Shadow feel her loss all the more sharply? A girl who’s nothing more than a ghost constructed of memories we know are faulty.

Who was Maria?

#sth #maria robotnik #shadow the hedgehog #gerald robotnik #prin posts #sonic posting #ngl kind of obsessed with the idea that the maria we see in shadows memories is the maria that gerald imagined his grand daughter to be #a shining light of pure hope and love and happiness that got unfairly snuffed out #a girl who just happened to have almost no autonomy in her life #did shadow have arguments with her that he doesnt remember? any times maria was unfair or cruel or just sick in a way that was inconvenient? #her ghost hangs over the whole story but its nothing more than an outline that we never see the details of

sitting in my little corner of “as much as i love love love prime bros, i also love the idea of nine being a character to fought so hard to get something, anything, and in the end, he got nothing”

i love me a tragic character who fought so hard to get his happy ending but never did because life just wasn’t fair to him

the cards weren’t in his favor and he lost

#graveyardtxt #before marie and brainworms hunt me for sport LISTEN #i need angst as much as i need oxygen #nine being alone in the grim is unfair #but that’s the point #he deserves a happy ending just as the rest of the foxes do #but why doesn’t he get one #why is he the one alone #what did he do wrong that all the other ones did right? #only tails has sonic #but sails and mangey still have families #why didn’t the echidna or bat or rose from his dimension take him in? #why is he the only fox who suffered alone for so long #and is still suffering alone #only this time around he’s also dealing with side effects from using the prism #he fought to get his home. his family. and everyone fought against him #and he was left with nothing but a broken down monument of his darkest hour #why didn’t he get his happy ending when everyone else did? #it’s just not fair #i LOVE tragic characters #anyway if i suddenly go missing please assume either marie or brainworms killed me

dr neo cortex is like I WILL MAKE YOU PAY CRASH BANDICOOT meanwhile dr eggman is like I Need to fucking murder this fifteen year old.

#it's understandable with crash because hes like Almost Thirty years old meanwhile sonic is 15 and everyone beefs with him #i dont think even cortex would kill a kid theres a reason he goes after crash and not coco #you cant play as coco in the boss fights of n sane because cortex is just kind of like Well this is a little bit unfair dont you think

[grimfantas]

you can call me heartless all you'd like, but it won't bring her back and it won't help you heal.

#tails the fox #shadow the hedgehog #sonic x #based on a roleplay I had with my partner. who writes an extremely incredible shadow #I write my thoughts here because Sonic X ending has me terribly fucked up #considering how young tails is to be suffering from grief I bet it's especially difficult to handle a kid who has no clue how to process it #who had to make an extremely unfair choice to kill someone he loves. and then to take it out on his big brother #Taking out his anger and insisting on blaming someone for cosmo's death... it's very heartbreaking. #Imagining if Shadow had come back and Tails had not finished grieving yet. there already soooo much anguish #Exploring grief in art is very very fun but there is something so gutwrenching imagining someone so young have to figure out how to deal #with that. younger people often acting out and not realizing how unfair they are until time has passed and not understanding #multi faceted perspectives etc. I know its a bit odd to go crazy about osmething like this over Sonic X but something about Cosmo and Tails #just hit very hard and I care about them very much. tails is huge favorite. i care about him so much #I probably shouldn't dwell on the sad parts of sonic x too much but that last scene tails has with sonic stuck hard #Can't imagine how strained it might feels for the next few months. and Sonic just takes it. Can't even look at Tails or answer him. HMMMM #anyways im done being chatty in tags I will delete my thoughts later as per usual. hehe. Sorry <3 #sonic

Does Nintendo?

I have a scientific thingy in mind.

Take Sonic the Hedgehog 1, the original Genesis version, and get Sonic to achieve his maximum running speed. Now, measure how fast the screen scrolls in pixels or tiles per frame. Use an invincibility cheat or something to not get interrupted and write down the result.

The question: are there any Super NES platform games where you can run at least that fast with the same limitations and measuring system, and a main character at roughly the same scale?

Two games came up when I asked this on one of my Discord servers:

Speedy Gonzales Los Gatos Banditos, to the extent that it has a hack where you play as Sonic.

Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, released on both systems and very much a reason for the invincibility cheat mention.

So all I'd need to answer the title question is a bigger sample size (more games that fit the bill) and their numbers.

#super nes #sega genesis #genesis does what nintendon't #or does it? #remember that one commercial where they strap an old tv to a clunker of a “race” car and it shows footage of super mario kart #and the other car is a proper high-speed racing car that has a tv strapped to it with some sega game (might've been sonic) #that seemed so blatantly unfair #shit marketing tactic tbh

Sonic Frontiers The Final Horizon made me the happiest and the most miserable Sonic fan over the 9 hours it took me to beat and I'm not even joking

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic frontiers #sonic frontiers the final horizon #i'll say it again: HOLY PEAK #it was hard as fuck and sometimes even disgustingly unfair #but holy peak that ending #THAT ENDING

Average Sonic Unleashed S rank fan:

Average Mega Man X6 Perfect run enjoyer:

Reply: one is an unfair trudging through the filthiest pits of Hell, where nothing but relentless misery and agony await you.

The other is a fun S-rank run.

#sonic the hedgehog #megaman #like even in the video you can tell the difference #the x6 player seems to be utterly careful in dodging all the unfair shit thrown at them #meanwhile the unleashed player just got good with the intended level design #i suppose the x6 player deserves more respect in this sense

Bro I’m telling you, sonic and shadow’s dynamic would be so refreshing if they played off of their mutual drive to compete and their shared ability to be little shits more often

Sonic: Bet I can beat you up that skyscraper!

Shadow: I’m already at the top.

Sonic: Wha—

Shadow: *chaos controls*

LET THEM HAVE THE LIGHTHEARTED RIVALRY FROM TIME TO TIME REVEAL SHADOWS COMPETITIVENESS THROUGH LIGHTHEARTED FUN

#sonic and shadow #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #sonadow #seems kinda unfair to tag this as Sonadow but ig it works either way #I like Sonic having asshole rivals but Shadow always being portrayed a certain way… #he’s already so nuanced but we never really see him drop his guard to have FUN #let Shadow PLAY #he is a little guy #little guy status #they are little guys #let them do little guy things #like wrestle over the last popsicle #or argue about why air shoes are better than any other shoes #shitposts #can i talk my shit again

[corffee]

So you’re telling me I have to wait another 6-7 months for the last season

#this is so unfair #what am I gonna do #wait by Netflix’s door til then? #I mean it doesn’t sound hard #sonic prime #sonic prime s2 #sonic prime season 2 #sonic prime season two #sonic the hedgehog #sonic #sth

sorry im glad amy is gonna be playable in sonic origins now thats literally what i was asking for but im still tired of how she just seems to be an afterthought in segas mind when it comes to classic sonic stuff. like yeah she didnt do much back in the classic era i guess but neither did mighty and ray and they were made playable in sonic mania plus when amy wasnt in it at all. and then they didnt put her in sonic mania adventures outside of the one off christmas special. and then they only made her playable in sonic origins as paid dlc even when tails and knuckles were playable in games theyre not even in in the base game. stop disrespecting amy like this

#i like mighty and ray btw i just think its unfair #like why are these guys from an obscure sonic arcade game nobody cares about #being brought back and given a bunch of merch and stuff #while amy is ignored when shes way more iconic and important than them #asks

[wereh0gz]

I'm gonna be honest I'm so tempted to just look up a playthrough or cutscene comp of final horizon and unblock the tags bc I really don't want to keep playing it lmao

#ramblings #the difficulty spikes. why #i'm still baffled at how difficult it is even on easy mode like. the main game was nothing like this #and like the platforming challenges and stuff don't feel well designed #like idk that much abt level design but they platforming stuff usually feels more like those super hard levels ppl mod into games like ahit #if feels almost unfair at points #like the towers i feel i can only do in easy mode with all the balloons i can homing attack #otherwise they'd just be straight up impossible #AND THE FUCKING BOSS RUSH? WHERE YOU CAN'T GET ANY RINGS? AND RINGS DON'T REFILL BETWEEN BOSSES? #AND YOU HAVE TO START OVER FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN YOU DIE? #like what were they thinking like actually #OH and i forgot to mention the controls. god the controls are just not good #they really need to fix them before even considering adding more playable characters in future games #idk it somehow feels just as rushed if not more than the base game #and the difficulty is just unfair #it's very disappointing but i'm also invested in the story and wanna know what changes they made to the actual ending #so idk. maybe i'll spoil it for myself. maybe i'll push through the bullshit. probably the former #i was looking forward to this so much too. sigh #sonic frontiers spoilers

[sonicunleash]

WE FUCKING DID IT BOYS. ONE (1) NINTENDO PROPERTY DOWN

#for context zelda and splatoon have been sweeping ridiciously unfair against non triple a games its just been a #nintendo poll so far #anyways sonic deserved that win though. im biased but also fr I think sonics genre variety gives it more of an edge

[homoerotic-shonen-rival-showdown]

it is the actual finals and I am still getting people complaining about things not being "technically shonen" like buddy ace attorney would not have made it all the way to the tournament finals if I gave a shit about that

#not polls #reminding everyone once again of the m/f sonic ship that was in this poll #strict definitions are for losers we stay silly #because that poll has like a thousand notes and is floating around everywhere #I doubt the people who would complain at me in the notes would see this post #but I just think it's very annoying and wanted to share with the class #does not help your blorbos at all in fact it makes me want to put them in progressively more unfair situations #just for future reference #99% of you are so very nice and lovely and I would love it if the 1% who are dicks in my notes would shut up so your blorbos can be happy
