[up]x4: It's not officially written or sung by her, but it is from her point of view, even if it's not an actual in-universe song.

I'm just taken aback by how... direct? literal? unambiguous? the lyrics are. Like, correct me if I'm wrong. but I don't think any other song in the game is written like that (though "I'm Here" or whatever the Supreme boss music is comes close by having "Frontiers" right in the lyrics).

I feel it makes sense.

You can be poétic with the boss battles, boastful, whatever. They are meant to excite.

Her song however is simple and straight to the point, which fits her character, due to how logical and direct she is in her personality.

I hadn't thought of it that way.

Speaking of which, though, and at the risk of sounding redundant, why do the boss themes go so hard?

Windii translated the Sonic Channel story with Shadow and Infinite.

Infinite: “It’s good enough for a runt who can’t understand authenticity. I have no interest in following your smugness in playing at perfection.”

Shadow: “So, you admit you’re a fake. Surely you understand that.”

I think I'll keep an eye on this side series, but I'm confused to what exactly happened.

[up] Took a read and there's a whole thing about how Shadow doesn't really have a clue as to how he suddenly became a musical duo with Infinite when he was apparently investigating Eggman's base.

I'm hooked. grin

Speaking of, we got some more elaboration as to how this is going to work.

TL;DR:

  • This is part of something Sega is calling "Isekai Ogiri". Of course, "Isekai" means "Otherworld" (and something Japan is going bananas for as of late) while "Ogiri" is "an item that is presented at the end of the day's performance.".
  • Effective January 2023, we'll be seeing 2 characters in different costumes and situations. Case in point, we got Shadow and Infinite as musicians this month. February will be featuring...a different duo doing something else.
  • And don't worry, we'll still get the usual monthly character-themed artwork. This month's character is hanging on to the other side and won't give up 'till the end of them. (FYI, it's a hint.)

Finally getting around to playing Frontiers and its pretty solid thus far. I think its the combination of the filling out the map gameplay loop being something I typically enjoy and Sonic's speed making movement around the open world just fun enough that I never really get bored. I think I might not even warp that much, given that the speed with max rings means you get places decently quick anway.

Oddly enough I think playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land is allowing both games to compliment each other. Kirby is fairly perfected 3D linear level design against the non-linear space of Frontiers so its easy to go back to one style if I get sick of the other.

There is literally to max out your Ring count as it makes getting top Speed even harder.

i remember years ago when my only exposure to Super Sonic was the comics where he was evil and being really surprised he was just a super powered form like Goku's super Sayan form

On that note, has there ever been even a little personality change in Sonic when he goes super? Like, I remember Super Sonic in Sonic X being more serious and talking less. I'm not talking a split personality or anything, just a slight change in demeanor.

No. Not much. Outside of what you just mentioned with Super Sonic in X, Sonic did seem a little bit more business like during the finale of the second film when he went Super.

That's logical considering everything Eggman had done up to that point, but after that fight is over, he shows he still the same Sonic even before he changes back.

Well given the inspiration, its probably the same type of personality shift Saiyans undergo when they haven't trained their Super Saiyan forms. When Goku first transformed, he was noticeably far more aggressive and angry than he was later on when he assumed the form.

I don't think Sonic necessarily undergoes a personality shift, but unlike Super Saiyan, Super forms are explicitly an Hour of Power form; Sonic can only maintain the form for as long as he has rings, which he burns through every second he stays in the form.

So he doesn't really have time to waste as Super Sonic.

I THINK Darkspine Sonic came with an emotional shift, but I don't remember too much.

The closest thing in the games would be Darkspine Sonic from Secret Rings, since he's using his negative emotions to draw on the World Rings' power. And even then, he's still Sonic, just more brutal and with a sharper tongue.

Which I swear is a canonization of the Dark Sonic From Sonic X.

Kinda surprised that said form actually hasn't appeared in the games at all, with how popular the form is despite appearing for only 2-3 minutes in the entire show.

Sonic using rings based on negative emotion isn't the same thing as him just turning into a sadistic SSJ2 Gohan from the Dragon Ball series...

He has the same Pupiless blank eyes and purple color scheme, just add some white skid marks on him as well.

He may as well be Dark Sonic in all but power source.
