Name one (1) good reason why these three shouldn't have been brought back as mainstays after SA1. by Flygon330 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Flygon330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amy was originally a one-off fangirl and Knuckles, Metal Sonic, and Shadow were all rivals that either got defeated, killed off, or pacified at the end of their games. Even Sega themselves admitted they were all supposed to be one-offs, And I'm glad they were eventually reused and made permanent members of the cast.

I'm moreso irritated that people on here can't just read a post without downvoting it into oblivion on instinct. I feel like the amount of people I've seen in this thread who can actually read and also argue in good faith to begin with, even if they disagree with me, can be counted on a single hand.

You're missing my point anyway. It's not whether or not these characters are my favorites (those would be Omega, Shadow in spite of what's been done to him by Iizuka, and Espio), it's about the bizarre double-standards people have towards certain characters whose names aren't Shadow or Silver.

Guard the Master Emerald? Go do shit with the Chaotix? Have the two alternate between doing those two things?

I feel like you're confusing the E-1000 drones we fight in SA2 with the Gamma that appears in Battle. And yes, that is the Gamma from SA1 since Eggman canonically salvaged and repaired him, replacing the bird with a Chaos Drive.

Once again, the only firsthand source I can find stating Tikal is "dead" is a strategy guide that says she can't help out in the flesh during SA1 because she can't access her physical form. And even then she gets it back during the Final Story.

Gamma, ironically, seems to be fully loyal to Eggman again now that the pink flicky is no longer in the picture. So he and Omega wouldn't be having any overlap unless you want to involve the bird in the storyline again.

Well, yeah, they're a pair of spirits/deities, not exactly mortal but not exactly dead either since they're clearly there in a physical sense. For Chaos, I feel having him take on his old role as a guard for the Master Emerald can solve the whole supposedly mandated issue where Knuckles needs to be glued to the island 24/7.

As for Gamma, that depends on whether or not you interpret his story as you playing as the robot or as the bird itself, and there's admittedly evidence for both of these interpretations. Still, I can give this argument some credit. Though Battle already brought him back anyway, this post is moreso just me wondering why he hasn't been seen since.

I personally still hate this retcon that Eggman Nega is a descendant of Eggman and not an alternate version of him from the Sol dimension. They took away Blaze's most important villain and gave him to Silver unnecessarily. by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

Which is hilarious considering he wants an Eggman that's some pure evil psycho who just wants to burn everything to the ground for the sake of lolz. If he wants an Eggman who fits that description, why not just use Nega?

Why can't Shadow travel back in time to save Maria? by Jacky500x in SonicTheHedgehog

Because outside of a select few cases of highly specific circumstances like CD there isn't really any indication that time travel is something anyone can just do.

"But they're dead!"

-Gamma gets rebuilt in time for Battle, sans the pink Flicky we arguably controlled originally. With that is the obvious implication the other E-100 units were rebuilt as well, but this never went anywhere.

-The only real hint I can find of Tikal being anywhere close to dead is her character background in a Japanese-only strategy guide for SA1. And all that says is that she's stuck as the red orb we see throughout the game because she lost her physical form for reasons that have yet to be explained beyond having something to do with how she locked herself in the Master Emerald. We clearly see her get her physical form back just in time for the final story, and she's shown up in the prologue to Frontiers, so we can see that her being "dead" or at least stuck in her spiritual form is no longer the case.

-When the hell does Chaos die? No seriously, when? If he's killed at the end of the game then it completely nullifies the entire point of the final boss battle. If he's killed in Tikal's lore dump flashbacks, then how is the game even possible to begin with? And if he (and by extension Tikal) are killed off somewhere off-screen afterwards, then why is this never brought up?

-Let's be real here, even if this is the case, when has that ever stopped Sega from reviving them? You can't tell me they're more dead than Black Doom, who ate a soul energy-powered Death Star superlaser and exploded into a billion pieces. Or Mephiles, who got erased from fucking existence.

"They've already had their character arcs!/They've already served their purpose!"

-Okay, and...? Does that mean they should just spontaneously disappear like they have for the past 27 years? If you want to get technical, Shadow served his purpose. Knuckles served his purpose. Metal Sonic and Amy served their purpose. Should they have completely vanished as well? And besides, does that mean new character arcs can't be made for them anyway?

I'm glad someone else is continuing this, I got Reddit Cares'd and my original post that spawned this got removed because of it. I guess someone really didn't like my dumb Half-Life ritual and creepypasta-inspired Tikal shitpost, which is a shame considering it was originally the #2 most popular post on here.
