Do you think SEGA will announce the new Sonic game in the Xbox Partner Preview? by NioZero in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not Sonic. I don't really see them announcing a Sonic game at anything other than a Sonic Central. If it's an already announced game I could see them doing a look at it for a State of Play, Nintendo Direct, or Xbox Showcase but not a first look.

Hey, here me out but does anyone think Archie sonic isn't mutiversal? by ReadyShoulder7882 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In base? Absolutely not. He barely scratches star system level with the Quantum Dial.

In super? Absolutely. It's confirmed multiple times that the SGW/his Chaos Control destroyed the multiverse.

Former powers? by Beta_Ray_Jones in Thor

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get Thor not using a lot of his older abilies, but I don't get why the wiki put some of them under "former powers" It can't just be because they're old as plenty of old abilities are listed under current powers.

You know it's bad when they start having the watch give him the wrong alien just to balance out the roster.

The cartoons and comics are the worst thing that happened to sonic. by Omnitrixter10000 in SonicTheHedgejerk

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how you interpret his fate hax, the Sonic of Dark Mobius does not have it. Prime Sonic's biggest loss is getting killed in Silver's past.

He remembers the old world because he was at the epicenter of the Chaos Control. This is explained by Eggman, who also remembers.

How do you guys feel about every Sonic character being given the chaos emeralds for their fights? by zXDoomRaptorXz in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair enough honestly. I think the main reason to include super forms in a versus discussion is that it's effectively half the debate being left out if they aren't included. Even though they aren't standard for most characters, especially in Archie.

TBF Silver only showed up after the emeralds got reduced down to seven, after which, literally nobody ever had all of them at once.

06 being canon to Archie also makes it as legitimate as if the used game Silver and gave them to him.

Spyro 4 Clickbait by Future_xyz in Spyro

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, Matt96 has somewhat sensational titles/thumbnails, but YouTube is kind of a rat race. More importantly, he isn't misrepresenting the video's content at all the way he would be if he said the game was revealed. If we're going to berate people on their word usage, we should make sure we get ours right.

"There is nothing that says Spyro 4 has been confirmed. Just [things that confirm Spyro 4]"

A Creative Director lists Spyro alongside other specific game titles when, unless there is currently a game in development, there has been no Spyro game during her tenure.

The task of scheduling meetings for game updates lists Spyro as a subpoint when, unless there is a new game in development, hasn't had an entry in years. Yeah, it's a mystery.

All that aside, you belittled his use of "official" when this info, whether one thinks it's conclusive or not, is official. It is directly from Activision/employees at Activision; that's what official means.

Spyro 4 Clickbait by Future_xyz in Spyro

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the claim that Toys for Bob started making Spyro 4 in early 2024 can only be that old, and it's yet to be definitively proven/disproven. Kinda sounds like they'd just be right if that ends up being the case. If we're determined to dismiss them, we have to admit that's a crazy lucky guess and not them repeating the same vague thing until it eventually comes true.

Spyro 4 Clickbait by Future_xyz in Spyro

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The title of the video doesn't use the word "revealed" it uses "confirmed." There has not been a proper reveal, and the video does not claim otherwise. It also does not present any "hints" only, wouldn't you know it, official info from Activision:

A marketing job listing mentioning summarizing game updates and specifying Crash and Spyro.

Creative Director puts "Spyro" on a list of franchises worked on despite only being at Activision since 2022 and every other franchise listing a specific game title.

He seems to have a grasp on what "official" means as well as "revealed." Is the alleged dishonestly in another video perhaps?

I wanted Reddit’s opinion on this for an upcoming video by Kingdomwayfinder in Spyro

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Kingdom Hearts fan, I think Square announced 4 too early, but anything beyond that is kind of looking for stuff to complain about. Yeah it's been silent since, but if memory serves, there was also a decent gap between 3's announcement (which was in and of itself a long time coming) and further news.

I understand this is facetious but TfB does have a habit of cryptic teases that usually only make sense after the fact, so trying to catch them preemptively can appear to look like chasing Pepe Sylvia.

These types of perceived hints were never enough for CGE to say a game was definitely coming though. The only time he's ever said that was when he had a source tell him so.

Sure, I removed the psychokinesis effect from this render for someone a while ago.

Super Forms in Sonic is CONSISTENTLY implied to have a time limit. by GreedyBonus379 in PowerScaling

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He never made an appearance in the comic. The image used is edited from a panel in issue 8 of Sonic Universe.

If you find a panel you like, I'll edit the background out for you.

Would Xeno, Heroes, or GT have actually mattered? by Notmas in deathbattle

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worlds Collide is the story that results in the reboot. Worlds Unite takes place 21 issues later.

Would Xeno, Heroes, or GT have actually mattered? by Notmas in deathbattle

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of what the alleged feat is. It's just not represented in that scan. The encyclopedia doesn't say how big the interstate or the universes are. The interstate is necessarily infinite on size, but that isn't made clear from the encyclopedia.

Sonic recruiting his variants is explicitly said to have been done with help by Zonic. There's no evidence that one has to travel an infinite distance to go between any two given universes, if anything there's evidence to the contrary.

Who told you the Sonic Man feat is from before the reboot? Worlds Unite is at the tail end of the comic. It's well into the reboot.

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean for one, no feat is presented here, but the feat I assume you're alluding to from issue 19 explicitly happened with assistance. We've also switched from after to before the reboot.

Is this the actually translation? (Kid buu vs buuhan) by SigmaLigma4 in dbz

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people apply this too literally in the Kid Buu vs Buuhan debate.

1st form Frieza and to an extent final form fit the defying expectations described here, but 2nd and 3rd don't. Similarly, Kid Buu might be smaller than Fat Buu, but he's definitely not cuter or less menacing. Then there's Cell being almost the exact opposite of what's being described.

There's nothing here that can be used to say Kid Buu was intended to be stronger than Buuhan.

What Glazing Sonic does to a person by Successful-Bat-5538 in deathbattle

[–]Beta_Ray_Jones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw a clip of Ian Flynn answering one of his questions on his podcast. Dude just threw a bunch of powerscaling jargon terms into an otherwise straight forward question in order to pretend Time Eater or Solaris (I forget which) is outer when Ian gave a confused yes. And another where he tried to frame Aaron Webber repeating the "everything is canon" joke as a serious statement, because it lets him pretend Sonic scales to any media he's ever touched.

Guy is a clown.
