  1. I genuinely can't tell the difference between these two. :pinkie: (Does it the hard way after all)

    Sorry Tails and Eggman the reason is due to unobtainable rings in certain levels the worst being shadows white jungle level which has over 100 rings out of reach of the player.

    Not a question I am aware but just for the sake of reference alone here is the information on all ring max counts and what is normally possible for the player to get.

    http://www.soniccenter.org/sm/files/maxrings.txt

    The most well known ones are as follows.

    On radical highway one ring is just to below and slightly to left of where Shadow starts at the cutscenes but the player cannot normally go back up that bridge to get it.

    Mad space has one ring below the kill plane area and ten rings invisible to the player requiring a mystical melody to make visible however the needed mystic melody box doesn't exist normally.

    Metal Harbor Hard mode has 75 rings just below the very jump pad directly above the kill plane.

    And last but not least white jungle is missing about 164 rings which are floating in what is believed to be unfinished early design as it also contains enemies and speed ramps but no floor at about 20ft above the player and way off screen to the right.

     

    Again I know not a question but there you go.

    It's fine! I am just glad this thread still has some activity. :)
    From what I understand, the unobtainable rings hidden deep in any out-of-bounds areas, as well as rings hidden past the kill plane, are not there for the player. They were programming markers for the game devs. It's a very common practice to put hidden markers in unreachable locations. They might be there to remind them where to put action scripts, to remember valuable information, or some other important reason. For some reason, they made Rings the markers in the SA2.

    There is also rumor that the devs wanted to add even more paths and details to some of the levels, but I can see you all ready knew about that. :adorkable: Time and resource crunches can definitely affect the final product. Ultimately gotta figure out what to keep and what to scrap. And sometimes they can forget to remove some things, like impossibly placed yet still reachable rings.

    Alright time for a friendly competition between the two geniuses and see who is faster and smarter at a trivia question.

    Eggman vs Tails.

    For Eggman NO bots can help strictly yourself ONLY. Any bot helps you lose to Tails automatically.

     

    Here is the trivia question and the one with better answer wins.

    The Sega Dreamcast game Sonic adventure 2 can NEVER be 100% completed regardless of player skill what is the reason for this?

    Note that  for reference 100% completed means obtaining everything not simply beating the  game.

    1YO4MPX.png Well, I suppose there could be many reasons... Some players don't do so well in the timed missions, and not everyone enjoys the treasure hunting stages, and there's also--

    BrRgPR2.png It's the Chao events, isn't it? Those are a real time sink. And I've heard the best way to get those emblems is through making use of glitches, such as--

    2jaJR9B.png It's the DLC, isn't it? You can't truly obtain everything unless you can download the DLC.

    Chatterbox Blushes.gif Has anybody tell you Mr. Shadow how handsome you are? Am pretty sure you got all ladies chasing you! Am C-Chatterbox! I am a reporter from Canterlot Times! I would like to have a interview with you if is okay *sighs smiling*

    Chatterbox happy.gif So! Mr. Shadow, we all know about your personality, but have you had like, weaker moments? Maybe shed a tear or feel vulnerable to certain scenarios, I can be conforting you

    jXXMbTr.png (Giggles)

    hfmbJpf.png Shadow gets all the fan girls~

    q1SHbEE.png Hmm. (Crosses arms and looks away) I'll agree to your interview, but the compliments are not necessary.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    sdZzOS1.png Did you know? G.U.N tried to cover up the tragedy that happened aboard the Ark many years ago. The results of the operation were kept Top Secret when--

    q1SHbEE.png (Tapes Omochao's mouth shut) ...Yes, there have been moments that have left me feeling vulnerable. Things that I can never truly forget, even if I should be stricken with temporary amnesia. Some memories are just too strong to ever truly forget.

    Eznh9Y1.png But no matter what, Shadow always picks himself up and keeps moving forward. It's why I know I can rely on him to do the right thing in the end, just like a true Sonic Hero.

    MCnlJrJ.png You know, I never really understood that name. All of Sonic's friends are Sonic Heroes, even though some of them work alone or do their own thing? Seems a little selfish, if you ask me. I'm the leader of the Babylon Rogues, but I'd never call us the Jet Rogues.

  5. Take to the heavens, up to the sky.
    The wild blue yonder, where you truly get high.
    Gravity will make you fall, unless you can fly.
    But if you can, then glide on by.
    Endless freedom awaits you up there.
    Spread you wings and disappear.
    Soar into the clouds, but not into the storms.
    Let nothing shake your aerial form.
    The wind can guide you, but make your own destination.
    For you are the pilot of your own aviation.

  6. I was expecting to make others laugh or feel happy. I was not expecting a comment that would make me laugh.
    For that, I'll post another image.

    I guess different art styles confuses the AI sometimes. I tried again, but the results just kept getting more cursed. This is as good as it gets.

    That's a shame not we need a mega evil villain but the whole teen titans clown villain shtick is getting rather tiresome. There should be a happy medium between supreme lord of darkness robotnic and Eggman the clown. 

    Jokes aside though, that this Robotnic exists from another universe also means some of the better characters like Sally and Rotor get lost as well which sucks because I always thought Sally would have made a much better girlfriend for sonic than Amy ever could. 

    Don't get me wrong love rouge and shadow and others of course but those were legendary. 

    Last but not least general shout out to Tails for the best Sonic character aside from Sonic himself.  Cute and intelligent is great combination I'm just saying.

    Since this isn't really a question, I'll just address this as if it were meant for me personally. B)

    Spoiler

    I feel like the Eggman (Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik) from the games should not be so easily written off. He does have his comedic and eccentric moments, his plans might go off the rails sometimes, and some of his monsters and robots have rebelled against him; but he has brought the world close to apocalypse many times. In fact, in some cases, the world might not have been saved at all if wasn't for Sonic (or any of his friends) turning Super.

    The REAL comedic, non-threatening version of Eggman/Robotnik happens mostly in the cartoons, starting with the AoStH version of Robotnik. He was a pure cartoon bad guy in the style of Looney Tunes. His plans never really lasted more than one episode. His depiction in Sonic X was better, but when the filler seasons kicked in, he really didn't have much to do. And in Sonic Boom, he went back to being a silly caricature of himself. Maybe not as over-the-top as the AoStH version, but it's hard to take him seriously when he would take breaks and casually hang out with the heroes.

    I'd say the Archie version of Robotnik/Eggman is a little better, but the truth is, that comic was juggling MANY different pieces of Sonic lore from different sources. So you never know when he might be as silly as AoStH Robotnik, as cunning as Sega's Eggman, or as heartless as SatAM Robotnik. It really would randomly change depending on the story they wanted to tell. But since Eggman was created by Sega, I tend to base his video-game incarnation as the definitive model to follow. :mlp_icwudt:

    Last of all, I actually like Amy and I do ship her with Sonic, but the Sonic Team have made it clear that they don't have plans to give Sonic a love life. His story is about going on adventures and doing cool, heroic things. So even if Sonic prefers ladies with a personality like Sally's, he actually prefers to be single above all else. And after all this time, it would be kind of weird to just bring them back out of the blue. "Hey there, Freedom Fighters! I'm gonna pretend like we've always known each other, even though you never appeared in the games or most other media before~!"

    Btw Eggman to show that there are no hard feelings would you like to know a 100% sure fire way to defeat Sonic?

    Of course, the funny irony is since Sonic is reading this as well once I reveal Sonic's weakness he obviously won't fall for the trick that exploits it.

    Oh and let me stop you there the weakness is NOT water related.

    BrRgPR2.png Thank you for the free feedback, but I am a genius with an IQ of 300. If there is a weakness to exploit, I'll figure it out myself.

    4bzmMJu.png Translation: Please give me any ideas you've got. I just don't want to look clueless in front of everyone.

    cwiOBBB.png Yo dawg, we heard you like education. So we put science in your science!

    BrRgPR2.png Silence! I am not desperate for information!

    Jr4X91n.png If the doctor doesn't want any tips, I'll gladly accept. My return will be triumphant!
