If I’m not mistaken, that power level and “Final Fantasy-like” can easily describe Culex.

Correct. And while I'm on that topic, hoo boy, his 3D model in the remake.

Oh no, he's hot!

Somehow Prime has surprised me twice.

First with the giant Eggman, and now with the giant Metal Big.

Ian Flynn clarified how Sonic Prime fits in the games continuity. (MASSIVE SPOILERS)

EDIT: And now he's just trolling people XD

Somehow, I knew it. Ever since Prime debut, he came off as somewhat distant and indifferent, and I predicted it was a mild trolling from his part.

It's just like with Sage. He didn't knew what she looked like when writing her, which explains why Infinite is not mentioned once by mr references.

Yeah, I didn't actually expect Prime to be a keystone element of the game canon, I think multiverse stories have just broken audience's brains.

Multiverse stuff always reminds me of this old dril tweet:

"multi verse" fuck your self. you`re only allowed to have one universe per costumed dipshit. absolutely none of this is my problem
I wonder if the Japanese side of the fanbase has the same questions about Prime's place in the Loose Canon.

I'm just gonna Fanon Discontinuity that bit about it being in the same continuity as the games. An alternate universe where things mostly followed the same path, sure, but the exact same path doesn't make sense to me.

The point he makes in that Tweet is specifically that it doesn't actually matter where it fits on the "Canon Timeline" or whatever. As he says, Sonic Prime wipes itself out. At show's end, absolutely nothing has changed for any of the characters in any significant way at all. This is essentially a three-seasons long Filler Episode. So trying to find a precise spot in Game Continuity to set it into is a totally meaningless exercise.

It's canon, but it doesn't matter where or how because it does not interact with canon in any meaningful way whatsoever. It's just a bit of popcorn-munching fun.

Basically Sonic 06 againtongue

I'm not surprised, like the idea of a multiverse subspace that underpins the entire premise is a bit too world shattering to not go unaddressed going forward and SEGA were already cagey about elements form spinoff media being introduced to the games as is

I wouldn’t go as far as to say it erased itself. It’s confirmed that the other worlds still exist considering the fact that the prism was used to restore everything along with a the gate back to the original world. Sonic's original world just got reset back to the point before the prism was shattered.

I haven't seen the season yet. I will soon.

Something that I've been meaning to search or ask for almost a year: It seems that the Frontiers bosses have certain triggers before moving on to the next phase, and at some points, damage by basic attacks doesn't really matter. That especially seems to be the case in the original Ikaruga-style fight with THE END. In Ikaruga itself, it's entirely possible to beat the game without having fired a shot. Has anyone seen extended footage of boss fights, to see what some of their later patterns may be if you don't attack as much as possible? Especially what happens if you don't return fire on the final boss, or only return fire using the ENERGY MAX lasers?

That battle just went on and on...

This is likely the only time we'll ever get to see Tails as the main antagonist of anything.

The battle definitely dragged on way too long. After a certain point, it just became noise.

You should spend never an entire season on a single fight scene. That is way too long. This is not a shonen, despite the franchise's fondness of borrowing from Dragon Ball.

@The Battle:

I think it could've worked if there was some sense of progression to the fight. But as it was, the whole thing was just one repetitive sequence of events - " "Nine duplicates a bunch of robots, Sonic and friends are brought to the brink, one of the heroes comes up with a crazy idea and the heroes push back the robots, Nine flips out, makes a crazy face and charges energy to duplicate a bunch of robots, start from the beginning" - over and over about five or six times.

@Prime In Canon:

I don't think the implication in the ending was supposed to be that Sonic went back in time and undid all the events of the show, just that Green Hill itself was rebooted back to right before it was destroyed while the rest of the Shatterverse continued to exist.

But on the other hand, I've always thought trying to fit Prime into the games' continuity in the first place was silly, so it really doesn't matter either way to me.

@What Really Matters:

Sonicman is losing again! Nooooo!

No, being set around Advance 3 makes sense.

Especially given Shadow’s depiction, which is arguably a hint/foreshadowing. Its even on here how Shadow is a Composite Character of Sonic Battle and Sonic 06.
