Nerissa Ravencroft & Sonic's Adventure to Battle

[@rasendori20]

She was fighting the Biolizard yesterday and I was *screaming* at my monitor “ROLL BITCH ROLL!!!”

[@wineravencroft]

lmao 😭

[@leorojas6390]

LOL 😂😂😂

[@SoRa-hdspm]

me too, and so hard

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

"E for even Nerissa can do it" That was pretty clever. Risa trash talking Sonic since 2001 probably.

[@Dorian_Scott]

Knuckles: *_"Hand over those Master Emeralds-GIVE THEM TO ME!!"_* Nerissa: _"...............No."_

[@Winter-27]

thank you cog for the long form stream highlights! very fond of this format since i dont have too much to catch a lot of the streams going on these days but do prefer something 10+ minutes long. keep up the hard work

[@themexicanattacker1503]

She kinda sounds like the Persona 5 singer when she’s scatting to the beat.

[@Relanturn]

BTW, Rouge is voiced by Lani Minella in this game. She also voiced aunty nyan nyan in sucker for love and Ivy from soul Calibur

[@strategicperson95]

I mostly remember her for voicing Mia in Fire Emblem Heroes, and then learning she also voiced not only Mia but also Micaiah, Mist and Rolf in Radiant Dawn. Aside from that you'll also hear her in Super Smash Bros as Lucas, Larry, Wendy, Morton, and Lemmy Koopa, and the voice of the Lyn trophy.

Nerissa on Tails stage: I hate this game Nerissa on Chao garden: I love this game

8:25 I'm glad that some people in chat were ready with the "you're a beta male, Sonic!"

[@GretchenDawntreader]

I love the question near the end "ARE YOU STUPID?" yes the characters are clueless. I dunno which sonic game I was watching someone play but Eggman had had his villain reveal and just then one of the secondary characters just wanders through the scene carrying the Chaos Emerald out in front of them like they had a lovely plate of cookies and not a massively important piece of Villain Bait.

[@ezronco.8671]

Sonic adventure 1 tails was the one holding the emerald after getting it from his house.

[@jacobr2022]

Dang this game's soundtrack is bangin'

[@metalgamerjonny6410]

I can only forever only hear the snapcube dub of this game/characters.

Why is she spamming single shot during the mech levels?

[@casidelbowen2675]

[@cologne2728]

I never played sonic growing up and I hate to say it but the game doesn’t seem like much fun. Nerissa’s streams are fantastic but the actual game seems painful to play with nonsense camera angles and attacks coming from offscreen or enemies placed perfectly for you to run into if you’re going fast in a game supposedly about going fast

[@cologne2728]

@@RockhardConstructionPebble fascinating. Thank you for the explanation.

[@gamelordabd]

Part of it too is that Nerissa straight up refused to watch the tutorial before streaming the game and got frustrated for not understanding how to play. It's a common mistake many newcomers and casuals make when playing Sonic games, and sadly they get put off by the series as a result. Sonic isn't as easy to pick up and play as other platforming series like Mario. Sonic games tend to focus on speed running and/or score attack, depending on the game. SA2 is a very arcade-style score attack game and is meant to be played over and over again until you can get the highest rank in each level, racking up bonus points for playing stylishly without dying, and you get penalized for dying by having your score drop back to 0 when you respawn. You're also encouraged to collect items in the levels that go towards leveling up your Chao in the Chao Garden, creating this game play loop of action and relaxation. It can be a pretty fun game when you get the hang of things, but there's a learning curve that most people don't seem to have the patience for.

[@gamelordabd]

​​@@RockhardConstructionPebble The boost games are not a replacement for the Adventure games. Both Adventure games have large modding communities of their own and there are mods that bring several QoL improvements to both of them. Some of the jank comes from Sega releasing bad ports with low effort, which are often buggier and look visually worse than the original releases, so fans end up having to fix them with mods, because Sega is too cheap and lazy to properly port/remaster their old games. This includes recent releases such as Sonic Colors Ultimate and Sonic Origins too. Sadly, corporate streamers and VTubers, especially those that work for Japanese companies like Cover/Hololive, are not allowed to stream games with mods, unless done under very specific conditions. This is due to game modding being mostly illegal in Japan as of 2018, largely thanks to Nintendo lobbying the Japanese government to push for it. Sonic X Shadow Generations might be the first time they're putting any real effort into a remaster of an older Sonic game, but only time will tell if it will actually be good.

[@gamelordabd]

​@@RockhardConstructionPebbleAll I'm saying is that they are different experiences and one doesn't automatically replace the other, and Sega has a habit of making their older games worse with poor quality re-releases. Corporate Vtubers also can't stream Sonic games with mods due to Japanese law, sadly.

[@mahatmagandhiful]

Every time I see someone play Sonic games, I wonder to myself why people like Sonic games.

[@gamelordabd]

Because you probably only watch people who are bad at these games and refuse to look at the tutorial to understand the game mechanics. Sonic games can be fun, but many of them are hard to master. The learning curve tends to filter a lot of people out of the series.

[@mahatmagandhiful]

@@gamelordabd Sure, you think that.

[@gamelordabd]

​@@mahatmagandhiful Whatever man, the series has its problems, but some of those games can be fun, but it's not for everyone. SA2 is a score attack game, and it takes practice to learn the mechanics and get good at it. Not everyone has the patience for that.

[@mahatmagandhiful]

@@gamelordabd I'm sure you mean well, but when you start off whatever you're going to say with "wElL thEyRe PrObaBly JuSt BaD at ViDeO gAmEs," I'm not inclined to take you seriously.

[@gamelordabd]

​@@mahatmagandhifulFair enough I guess.
