Sonic, shadow and Knuckles: Spindashes normally Blaze: *Ballerina intensifies*

[@sonicovertime]

lol

[@Temzy]

Well she *is* a princess from another dimension lmao

[@kenanwallace2124]

To be fair, Blaze has been using Burst Dash as the spin dash equivalent since Sonic Rush.

[@johnmetzakis2910]

yeah i want to do something different with Blaze as i think rolling in a ball is not her thing, so its basically charge up that works like sonics peel out

[@masterfarr8265]

kinda wish she had the boost formula but beggers can't be choosers

[@Snootedits]

I feel like the character chosen is based on the four that were playable in Sonic and the black knight.

[@sonicovertime]

o wow, I didn't think about that. May be right

[@bit427]

The most underrated sonic game

[@DemonDethchase]

Last main 3D game to feature Sonic's friends playable and that was over a decade ago! I really hope this changes in the next mainline 3D game. As besides Boom and Mania (which were made by outsourced studios) and the player avatar of Forces, it's largely been Sonic or bust the past decade. And what good is having these other playable characters with their own skills if we're just going stuck playing as Sonic forever? That sounds pretty lame.

[@bit427]

@@DemonDethchase and what funny is that ever since its been only sonic the series only went downhill

[@DemonDethchase]

@@bit427 I blame the state Sega pushed 06 out in as the past decade has been a decade of fear of the specter of 06. As it really is the stick everyone beats Sega with, causing them being to afraid to go back to stuff that used to work before. Like bringing back the other characters, as outside a couple of outsourced spin offs in Boom and Mania it's been largely Sonic or bust for the past decade, with only that THING from Forces, with the silly toy gun, being the only other playable character we've seen besides him. But bringing Sonic's friends back, making them playable? Sonic 06 had that, and everybody knows how that turned out. Trying to tell a bigger, wider story, seen from multiple perspectives, rather safe straight forward stories? Sonic 06 did that, and everybody knows how that turned out. Hub worlds? Sonic 06 and yada dada, you get the point. I do feel like alot of the games now have lost alot of the heart they had before, for as good as Generations was it never really had much of a story. I think Black Knight, along with it being the last game to feature multiple playable characters, was also the last story to actually carry some weight. And much like Merlina's plan, to see to the creation of a kingdom without end, the series itself could go on forever as it currently is, but in this state of stagnation without the heart it had from before, what's the point? It'd be pretty boring if it'll just be Sonic or bust from now until the end of time when we know that the games can work with the other characters playable, along with those more meaningful stories. This wee video also makes a good point about 06 being used to hold the franchise back. It's not crazy long at just under 5 minutes, so its nothing overly long winded for him making his point. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imKbYmmZip51d6M

[@ADiretoria100]

This may no sound much, but despite Encore been less quality on trying to diverce from multiple characters and mechanics... THIS HAS THE BEST 3D LEVEL DESIGN ANY OTHER FANGAME HAVE, seriously, Angel Island Zone in this game is just so out of world for the gaming community, and that already makes it a spetacular project Oh yeah I also forgot: *bosses*

[@miguelvinacarbajales3246]

Sonic GT for me is the best

[@VongolaXZax]

This is what needs to come back in Sonic games since SA, Heroes, and O6. More than one playable character.

[@sonicovertime]

yeah seriously though!

[@HareemByron]

Facts, I'm tired of only playing as Sonic

[@VongolaXZax]

Yeah, Lol. And awesome Profile pic dude! I never thought about the combination of Static Shock and Sonic. Have not watched that in a long time, my favorite show growing up as a kid.

[@HareemByron]

​@@VongolaXZax Thanks dude^^ I just happened to find it one day on google and I immediately thought...."perfect!" I remember watching Static Shock when it was on channel 11. Became one of my favorite shows

[@VongolaXZax]

@@HareemByron yeah man, same. Use to watch it on Disney XD, during the time when Marvel & DC cartoons were on almost every channel, so I enjoyed watching Spider-Man Unlimited and X Men Evolution after Static.

[@IITRIGGERDII]

I absolutely love this fan game. The level design is fenominal, I love that it's practically Sonic 3 in 3D, it controls fantasically, AND it has multiple playable characters?! It's (*almost*) perfect. I really hope this project goes even farther, I'd even pay them to make more, or buy the game if I had to. One critique to the creator or creators, I'd recommend shrinking the boss battle arena. The first two arenas are good, but the ice cap arenas are WAY too big. This makes the boss way easier, seem small & less threatening, and not as epic or exciting.

[@dreamcastdazia4753]

Phenomenal* ....

[@MariktheGunslinger]

These new 3D fangames are pretty cool but I have a concern. I feel too many of them allow you to easily leap over and run around any danger or obstacles thanks to the open design and high mobility of the characters. Part of what makes a good platformer is having to deal with challenges head-on, with the player either taking a risk to get through a level quicker, or being cautious. Here, you can just skip past the challenge entirely, quick easily it seems. Of course, Sonic fan game developers only recently figured out how to pull this sort of thing off, so I'm sure whatever comes next will be much more refined.

[@silverguy526]

Well, with the Infinity games I've played, you have to get REALLY used to the controls and layout of the stages before you can pull all of that off successfully. At least in my experience.

[@vexzel5773]

100% agree marik

[@entruh4520]

Doing those kinds of leaps is a reward for good movement.

[@silverguy526]

Entruh Exactly

[@dreamcastdazia4753]

Yeah that's a concern I have as well. It really bugs me actually cause it make me wonder if the same breakable momentum based speed gameplay from the classics can really translate that well in 3D if you can do stuff like that. Games like Sonic World, Sonic souls and the official 3D sonic games seem to put a cap on the speed u can gain from slopes and such and now I see why with all these new 3D fangames having the same problem

[@HikaruBaskerville]

I’m glad to see that the design philosophy is being taken into account, and that everyone plays well. I just have one major gripe, and it comes right off the heels of Knuckles. His being able to use the light speed dash and the homing attack both really make him a pointless addition. It doesn’t divide up the gameplay options, it just turns him into a reskin with the ability to glide and climb. When it comes to including characters, they need to feel different, with their own twists on gameplay. Someone like Tails being able to homing attack would be pointless because he has two tails that make traversing gaps and high places a natural ease for him, and plus, there’s a reason the official games never gave him one outside of Sonic Heroes, which it was only a formation staple built on that game’s gameplay. Having everyone outside the speedsters, Sonic, Shadow, and Blaze all having the light speed dash and homing attack? There’s no real variety at that point. It doesn’t feel like you’re playing anyone different, and I say this under the impression that other characters will be available to play, not just those four. Encore, in all honesty, has been interesting to take a look at in these videos. It’s a neat idea, and it works off of its engine like a dream. It’s great fun just watching it in action. But if the developers behind this fan-game are planning to include other characters, they can’t all play like Sonic. They shouldn’t. The appeal is being able to do different things and approach levels in unique and creative ways using a characters own personal moveset. At the very least, I hope they change that when they include whoever else they decide to.

[@deanmoriarty6015]

agreed man

[@ChaddyFantome]

Well said

[@christianandonandon3492]

Well maybe with knuckles if he had a punch mechanic like in sonic heroes but it has some armor. While shadow he could have his signature move chaos spear. As for blaze, it might be a little difficult since her game didn't show off much of her abilities. Like with sonic adventure and the handheld version games. They each showed their characters abilities and made them unique enough for them to not be too similar to sonic.

[@HikaruBaskerville]

christian andon Andon In the case of Blaze, I’d say that little hover you could do in Rush that was stapled to the R button. Might be an interesting mix-up. Plus, given these are fire powers, maybe.....fireball?

[@games_on_phone89]

I'd argue that all of them would need a homing attack just for the sake of precision, everything else can be different in abilities Plus, weren't the characters of the classic games reskins of Sonic but with different abilities? Of course, i understand that this isn't the classic games but still

[@acuman99.9]

Considering that S3&K is the first game I ever played back in the early 90s this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@Mellowblerd]

Pick Shadow on an ice level so he looks like he's ice skating. ⛸ I see what you did there.

[@yoshimasterleader]

This Is the direction I want the sonic games to go. The levels look like actual living environments. the levels are layered but the exploration isn't aimless and there's direction. It'll be cool to have a Sonic 3 3d remake where transitions are seamless and it feels like it takes place one island.

[@capsule_toy]

This is fantastic!!! Perhaps the characters are a little overpowered in terms of jumping, and speed, thus missing out large chunks of the levels, but this.... is superb. I do hope the creator continues the good work in remaking Sonic 3 & Knuckles in 3D.

[@originalpacificalsun8776]

I love how this game is portrayed in many ways, but mostly is based on speed, switching multiple paths, and full control over your character.

[@knucklesspeed1558]

hello bro, thank you so much for playing with knuckles i feel great

[@ktwolfanimations5690]

I like that they added the minor boss for sonic 3

[@Megamanexe]

MUCH better! Glad the developers were able to increase the characters jumping from their previous build where they didn't feel like they have weights on them. Along with implementing somewhat momentum in the game, looks like need a little bit of work there, make the gravity on the characters slightly heavier so it don't feel like they're floaty while in the air. And their golden! Amazing job developers you improved A LOT! EDIT: And by little I mean, enough that it is a risk and reward type of deal. Not out right make them heavy XD Then again not sure if you could program something like...the speed of the characters descent. Is it possible to code in where their fall speed- increases while going down. Like it starts out slow and then builds up over time while falling down, where it has the player be smart of how they perform their huge leaps?

Level design. A lot of Sonic games are boost straight The fan games try to be boost and open But with as much detail is put in the levels Everyone just boosts thru and the stages are cleared too fast with little exploration, puzzles, combat, or in general challenge. It is fun to beat the clock But ask what purpose we strive here if not but the end is the goal It's the journey not the destination

[@vexzel5773]

@ALLAN LOUIS JEUNE more of in a general sense Spin dashing to cut thru the stage But the main point is while it can be fun to go fast The levels should be challenging that rewards players to maintain speed Rather than simply blasting thru easily

[@jordancromwell]

@@vexzel5773 You don't boost thru easily. (Unless its Forces) In Generations and Unleashed you actually have to dodge obstacles and etc. Just holding down the boost would only last you less than ten seconds.
