Whenever I think of Super Sonic Blue I can't help but think back to Sonic's abysmal selection of skin colors in Smash. Almost, if not, every single one of them is just a shade of blue. So I can't exactly say an official Super Sonic Blue would please me. It would just feel so lazy, and it would really start to seem like they're just copying Dragon Ball at that point.

No rain could douse the flames that burn within me!

I still maintain that calling it "Super Saiyan God" was stupid. Just call it "Saiyan God," since that's what it is, as it doesn't even use Super Saiyan in its base form. Then the Blue form would've been "Super Saiyan God," instead of the ridiculous "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan."

Will Sonic unlock his God Quills when several hedgehogs circle together?

Though if there's one thing the Sonic series beat Dragon Ball to, it's (spoilers for Dragon Ball Super Hero, and I guess Sonic Adventure 1) killing off an android named Gamma by self-sacrifice.

prolly not because there is only one other hedgehog present right now. And chances are she's prolly a hologram at that point.

Oh, I didn't mean right now. Next time Silver and Shadow are around. He still needs to get his extra long Quills form, first.

I joke, but it would be genuinely funny if they leaned into the comparison.

I can't remember when I'd first thought of it, but even before the show started, I'd felt "Evil Tails" would be a narratively compelling villain, and probably the most dangerous threat possible of the main cast. I think I was inspired by the episode of Beast Wars and arc of Beast Machines where Rhinox turned evil. Plus Eggman's memo about Tails in Frontiers. And the scene in Colors with mind control. And the one in Lost World with the fake mind control. And of course Nine gave off a bit of that vibe as far back as season 1.

I'm still not entirely sure I buy it, though. I'll have to see how it's executed when it's all done.

It really works, given how Tails has more and more become kind of a Good Counterpart to Eggman. And as competent (if eccentric) as Eggman is, Tails is consistently shown to be even moreso.

An evil Tails is a terribly, terribly dangerous thing.

Tonight is the night! (the name of the above track) To select your new characters and do the new story. The DLC launches at 5pm Eastern.

I've got mixed feelings about Amy's new moves, and will have to put them in action. I actually dislike that Tails is back in the Cyclone. The pop-in issue is still here. There's a lot of new Cyberspace stages, open zone challenges, and even Guardian fights! It all seems to take place on Ouranos Island.

Final Horizon trailer just dropped! You can use the Cyclone from Sonic Adventure 2 as Tails! Amy has a glide via spinning tarot cards! Knuckles...punches!

WOO!

But, it's available at 5PM PST, meaning 8PM EST for America.

> Amy, Knuckles, and Tails are still hologram-y.

Aw, man... sad

> Tails can summon the Cyclone from Sonic Adventure 2.

AWWWWWWWWW MAN!!! grin

(Actually, the modding community has been able to work wonders with Frontiers, so my gripe with AKT still being hologram-y might be child's play for them.)

Tails can still fly on his own it seems.

Did Amy use her cards and a hammer to make a mono wheel?

They really seem to be playing her up as a magical girl, it seems.

I may have misunderstood her all this time.

Everyone did, considering they BARELY ever used the magical aspect of her character until recently in stuff like IDW.

I kinda wanna see Amy do an Akira Slide in that Motorbike wheel of Tarot cards now.

This update drops just about an hour after work for me, so HELL YEAH

I can't wait to see the deal with Super Duper Sonic.

Hah. I may have to re-evaluate my Blaze would have made a better playable heroine than Amy theory.

Sonic has his speed. Knuckles has his strength. Tails (despite his twin tails being useful) uses tech, and Amy is now the Magic one.

I'd say she finally has her niche, but arguably, it's always been there. As [up]X4 stated, it was never really emphasized before.

New screenshots from the DLC are out. Supreme DEFINITELY isn't the final boss.

[up]

In the Japanese manual for Sonic CD, Amy got to Little Planet because of her tarot cards telling her she'd meet Sonic (well, actually, as of Origins, Metal, but she made it say otherwise). Sonic Chronicles even had her use them for her POW moves. Like I said, they BARELY ever used her magical aspects until now.

[up][up] The tarot thing has been a part of her character since Sonic CD. It’s always been a background detail, however, until recently where they started really emphasizing it to make it one of the ways she stands out.

That said, it has come up in the occasional game or comic here and there over the past decades. It’s just never been anywhere near as prominent as it has for the last couple years.
