Update:
Hello all! I have some unfortunate news. Our current spriter has resigned from their position and all work of Mecha Sonic has been stowed to a halt. I was thinking about bringing an end to the project and cancelling it since I have no spriting skills. However, if you are interested.... you can directly message me on Discord @ CANINE#3432 and inquire about becoming our spriter! I don't really want to ask or beg for a spriter, but we really do not have any choice at this point. This is just in hopes that we can continue progress on this project.

I have been really hesitant to post this... but I've just been at such a loss for options here.

I am really sorry for you about it... (even more because I cannot make sprites).


Let's hope that someday someone would be able to make a "true 2.2-styled" Mecha Sonic.
 
Oh geez, that sucks to hear... Mecha is, hands down, my favorite character so far, so its a shame to see he might not get the spritework he deserves. I'll reply to bump this back up to the top of the forum, really hope someone out there's willing to help.
 
Menacing_marsh on twitter is working on a Mecha Sonic for kart, perhaps he might be willing to help with the new sprites? They look really good!

Mecha Sonic Moveset Poll

Hi! This is a poll designed to gather data and feedback regarding Mecha Sonic's moveset. Please follow the fields below. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to DM me @ CANINE#3432

and by the way, thanks to all of you who have been patiently waiting, its really difficult to get this stuff put out, and it makes me happy to see people excited for the release of this character, i appreciate each and every one of you.
 
The main issue with Mecha is that he was made as a boss in mind, not a playable character, that's why it's hard to implement a proper moveset (unlike Metal which is closer to Sonic despite its lightning dash and his reflector)
 
His moveset plays pretty well as is, tbh

Regardless, I've been following this character's development for a good long time now, I genuinely think it'll be worth the time spent when it's finally done with.
 
It's late, but he plays pretty fine as is, with the only thing I can suggest being to shorten his hitbox whenever he curls up, as otherwise, certain custom level packs that require that all characters curl up to get under gaps, like 06, cannot be completed at all due to how big he is. Other than that, I feel like the only thing missing is his sprites.

Typically if it's not possible to get through via spindash, there's a floor-breaking path because of Amy and Fang.
(of course, I haven't actually played the 06 map so I don't know if it follows that convention)
 
En mi opinión lo único que me gustaría cambiar son los sprites ya que los movimientos están bien para ser un personaje equilibrado en el juego, aunque no niego que sería maravilloso poder usar las habilidades demostradas en el jefe. de sonic 3 y nudillos

It doesn't have the bustable floor route, there are some sections in stages (Specifically White Acropolis and the volcano one) that use those speed boosters that put none-spinning characters in spin states. Mecha can't fit through.

If the sprites bother you, fret not. There is a very nice model available for him in Manuel's Model pack.

Manuel's Models v1.082

So, this is my first SRB2 contribution, and it's a few md3 models. How to use: You extract the zip file, and there will be a folder named "MMODELS", you place that folder inside the "models" folder. Then, you have to add the following line somewhere in your models.dat file: ´ DERP...
mb.srb2.org mb.srb2.org

Having a model is cool and, to be fair, it is a REALLY good model, the sprites being completed is was a lot of people are waiting on.

I second this. I prefer playing with sprites because, imo, they require more work than 3D models (Not dissing on modelers btw, I just think Spriters put in about 5 times more work)
 
sorry for the silence and lack of updates... our spriter has been pretty busy with their own business, but rest assured, the project is still in progress!

thanks for waiting around, everybody :sadthumbsup:
