here for cybers hell

You gotta admit how ironic it is that fans praise project 06 for being basically 06 fully imagined yet when sega tries to remake 06 the fans act like they never asked for it

I think it's eluded to that in Shadow the Hedgehog, they say that in fact, the Shadow we see in Heroes is indeed the real Shadow that Robotnik found again on Mobius (I still can't put myself to calling the world Earth, I'm way too used to calling it how SatAM and Archie called it), but since he was in the vacuum of space for some time, the hypoxia gave him amnesia, and I'm fine with that. But as Shiro Maekawa, the lead writer of both SA2 and Heroes, said in an interview, in Adventure 2 he had full range to write the story however he wanted it and that's how it felt way more cinematic, as if you were playing an interactive movie, whereas for Heroes, he had ideas for way more teams (I still can't get over the fact that we could've gotten Mighty and Ray in the 2000's if he had it his way) and stuff, but the devs had already set the levels and the progression in stone so he had to work with what he was given, so it was hard for him to explain stuff in the Team Dark campaign. And Shadow 05's story was written by Takashi Iizuka so they didn't really get to it but I think in one of the routes it's said he was indeed the real Shadow

I preordered the physical version of the game but I got this little promo paper for the Sonic 3 movie along with the journal also the adventure skin for Sonic looks really good

...

As a person who 100% unleashed I want to tell grant 2 things. 1. Don’t got for all s ranks and 2. If you 100% unleashed you will get ptsd from hotdogs

I think the scene of shadow and maria is supposed to be symbolic/a dream and what makes me think that is the flower choice. In the shots they're surrounded by lilies which are a symbol of rebirth and death, that mixed with the songs themes feel like just shadow wanting to see her and fulfill the promise of going down to the earth with her (or i guess sonic world cause they're trying not to call it earth lol)

39:38 Yep! And back when DC Comics had a marketing budget and advertised stuff on KZbin, she was the co-host of DC All Access with Jason Inman (also someone worth following, he's done some indie comics and has a great podcast called Geek History Lesson with his wife). I used to watch DC All Access regularly in college so seeing her show up was a blast from the past!

So wild that Sonic Central used Sonic Weekly’s music. They must really care about their community ;)

i hate myself

First🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

40:25 YES!!! Thank you!

UK Dennis the Menace "lore": Dennis sort of stayed as he is, while Dennis' Dad and Mum had their looks changed to match their then-current cartoon look around the 2010's. As Dennis' Dad looked like an older Dennis now, at some point they shown off pictures of him as a young boy, who just looks like Dennis. So retroactively, his dad was basically the Dennis the Menace of the 80's to the 2010's, and his dad was the Dennis the Menace of the 50's to 70's. Dennis' Mum's sister is the mother of Minnie the Minx, so they're now cousins. Gnasher is probably still the same.

It's amazing how Shadow went from being a (somewhat) failed attempt to create an artificial Sonic, based on the ancient echidna prophecy, so that Gerald could save Maria, to "Evil Sonic"

We love big here

Sonic Superstars is one of my favourites from last year, so that's what I can say about it. Lots of fun and charm in it. Bosses can be long, but can be quickly beat if you know how. I'd rather know what set of bosses from what Sonic games do people actually like for comparison's, as I know people called them the weakest point in any Sonic video game. (For example, nobody calls Sonic Generations the worst game made because of the Time Eater boss, but they really hate that boss!)

I’d wager that if David tried beating any of my Superstars Time Attack times, he’d be a lot more engaged than he was trying to speedrun Splash Hill. 😏

I don't want to understate how difficult a solo comic project is... But Penders has laid out these massive plans for a multi volume epic of multiple graphic novels, and now after *years* of working on it he's delivered one issue worth of new content. "He likes the idea of having a story to tell" is the perfect way to put it.

David's reaponse about the Sonic cycle was very good. Sonic fans need to stop attaching Sonic's game quality to their own ego wnd self-worth. I also think people need to learn that they can just not waste their time and money on a game that looks bad. I didn't buy Rise of Lyric, Forces, Frontiers, Superstars etc. because they all looked bad. Why buy a game you already don't think you'll like? You don't need to blindly love everything with Sonic's face on it. Sonic doesn't have to be a brand you devote your life to. Just enjoy the things you like and avoid the rest. I watched an episode or two of Sonic Prime and stopped, because I didn't like it, so I could spend my time doing things I actually like.

What can I say, David? FTCR is a gateway drug and should be criminalized. Thanks for finally explaining how brittle the "cycle" is as a theory.

That section of Marble Zone with the spinning tops was painful lol.

Hey cybershell. I'm starting to find "Genocide City" pretty offensive. I hope you make a response video to that

I’m listening to one of their best episodes but this time on yt thanks sonic weekly crew

lets a go

Let's get it bois

i've heard this guest has a tier list that makes her the rawest gigachad to have ever appeared on the pod, flinging truths like insults left and right

I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts and watch a ton of videos game content and y'all really pull through with content that I want to watch/listen to. Thanks 🥂

Haha nom

This is my new weekly podcast 🦔

yes cybershell yes watch. see you next week

Why is this the ugly Adventure 2 Battle footage instead of the better SA2 DC cutscenes?

You know, even though there are laws, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Ken would succesfully reprint Archie Sonic comics and Sega would do nothing about it. They already don't care about all their previous media except the games so there won't be a court case.

thats not sonic thats rouge the bat

I physically cannot listen to the video for more than a few minutes. You really ought to learn some basic broadcast training stuff to make this tolerable for people outside of your immediate friend group. I curse Cybershell for making me click on this.

He back

I’m so happy for the Comics discussion with CyberShell after all these years of no “Fleetway Sonic the Comic retrospective.” I didn’t know Archie’s Eggman was a robot body of Robo-Robotnik for years and years. (I don’t remember the year, but I read from issue 182 to 229ish before getting burnt out.)

Hey, Cyber. Can we get more NetLore? Please?

31:29 There is a Sonic Spectrum... it's called Autism. ; 3

cybershell sent his fans to harass me a while ago because I got (rightfully) upset at him spreading (at the time) unsubstantiated rumors that could result in a guy being fired. fuck him.

this the guy that beat earthbound holding a tomato in one hand

29:25 look up the song Proto Culture by Del the Funky Homosapien. I mean, the whole song is about video games (and samples a song from Darkstalkers), but it counts.

24:32 I said out loud "a DARK legion" after CS said that and I'm glad someone else jumped on it and made that follow-up! 😆

Dude I was literally re-watching his videos yesterday, what is this witchery

34:23 i always called him eggman even though i played classic sonic games as a kid

Aw yeah cybershell my guy continuing to have mindshare

Love this podcast! ❤

The Trunks comparison can be better done with Terminator, as both are about a youth coming from the future to warn of killer robots. Toriyama was more of a live action and movie buff who did not read a lot of comics as he admitted, and he'd certainly reference Terminator. (Much like he referenced Alien for one of Frieza's forms, Goku Black being based on evil copies of Ultraman and Kamen Rider (and named after Kamen Rider Black) or give Master Roshi a disguise named "Jackie Chun".) And I guess Tails is the Bulma to Sonic's Goku? Scientist wise but without the vain personality?

Everyone’s talking about how the wings remind them of Venom from King in Black. Me? I say the wings remind me of Eclipse the Darkling from Archie Sonic. There’s been a much bigger emphasis on space since Frontiers and I’m really curious what we might learn about the Black Arms in this game.

It’s another week you know what that means

Bo single handedly finishing the code for multiplayer to work IN Burning Rangers is crazy, give this guy an award, and a zillion bucks. Also I love the archie Sonic and Mega Man comics, way past cool!
