[Open Assets] New Thok v1.5.7

hello, when u adding a new update cuz I think you should add a jump thok mode

Aw hell naw bro removed herobrine! anyways I think you should add a kind of like stomp thokking thing if you hold shift to get a bit of verticality. it works the same as the regular thok, letting you thok after you've bounced off a badnik or capsule or something. this way guarantees that elemental shield still has use and if not increase its hitbox by a bit so it does.

Now this is some very good changes to what is basically a glorify instant boost ability.

Thok Gaming....

That's momentum-based thok that you added actually makes me actually enjoy the mod now (plus it's goes hard with momentum mods lol) also thank god, you added that letting go the jump button actually makes you stop floating, it's mod even better, 5/5

(also ignore that the OG Thok was momentum-based, I was trying to say if you Thok and jump before hitting the ground at the right time, you carry that Thok's momentum, letting you actually chain it if are good enough at it, sorry about that)

yo I'm on my alt because I forgot to add something.I think you should also add a speedrunning mode where if you tap jump after you thok it slows you or stops you. also add a jump thok option or a hold to thok, tap to double jump (if you want to) this is just to make it easier for speedrunning it. I also think a proper redirection for the thok would be better as if you try redirecting it slows you down or doesn't change your direction at all. these are just suggestions and would give this even more gameplay and variety

now this is defo one of the best thoks out there. its for vanilla and momentum mods AND balanced.

this is definitely a thok addon


yeah i don't have much else to say it's a good replacement
definitely prefer it over the wacky hoohoo spin that was teased for 2.3 at one point even though i know that one was scrapped

this is awesome man. I think for the thok you should combine the spindash release and thok sound together and add reverb + lower pitch. I also think that it should be a bit momentum based for momentum mods but with a cap to how fast it can go as if it were crossmomentum.

yes, lets make something that barely resembles the thok, call it new thok, make the sound loud as all hell, which causes an irritating gameplay experience. like cmon even new super mario bros did the new branding better!

I love how this move makes me think of new ways to get around levels and is overall a nice that it makes the shields better to play with!

Tbh I think it's better than the vanilla (kinda). The improvements for the useless shields make it better.

I'm a big fan of this take on the thok. It's a very fun take on it, my only complaints are i'm not big on the sound it makes and that i feel it doesnt need to break walls. If I could decide to put this in vanilla, id say for balance it wou;dn't break walls. Otherwise, very fun!

This is a thok replacement I can get around, most other thok "improvements" just give sonic vertical height, this one just halts it for a while! I would take this over the thok anyday. Pairs nicely with the whirlwind shield slowfall.

This Is Just The Best Thok.
It Plays And Feels Better.
And It's More Useful As You Can Bounce Off Badniks And Then Thok.
This Is The Thok Of All Time

Out of all the pain of people trying to reinvent the thok, it's honestly refreshing to see a take that tries to build off of what the thok already does as oppose to try and overcomplicate things to where certain rules have to be made up specifically for the ability.

Though in saying that it does feel a little overtuned in some areas. While the combo effects with the Wind and Force shield are pretty cool I dunno about the Armageddon Thok effect. Just seems too hyper specfic and from a casual standpoint it's burning a resource for speed that might trip more people up... Of course in a speedrun setting it's pretty moot but still I think the other perspective is worth having. :P

In some ways I think the hang time before falling is just a BIT too generous. I'm actually not opposed at all to the hang time but I think with the speed it gives it can end up trivializing more platforming challenges than what the ability aims for. I'd still keep it around cause in some ways it lowers the barrier of entry for the skill and maintains the depth it has.

Probably the one thing I believe that makes this truly overkill is the wallbuster part of the move. Imo it seems like it'd take away from Knuckles in terms of uniqueness.

Honestly those paragraphs are more or less nitpicks than anything else because other than that I love the additions of recovering thoks from badnik bouncing and I'm eager to see if there might be more shield combo things that can be done.

I know reviews aren't for pitching ideas but this ability mixed with the fire shield? I would think that would be a funny fun time!

Yeah, this ain't better than better OG Thok because it more functions like the Modern Sonic's Airdash then the momentum-based Thok also I can't even get speed from because it's WAY too floatily and the sound it makes is very annoying

I like this. It's a nice, somewhat simple modification of the thok. It's what it says on the tin.

Welcome to releases!
