This thread was never made to ask for mods. He was literally asking the simple question that is: “Why are there so many Sonic’s?” I thought it was pretty clear after your first response that this is what the post was about.
It's pretty obvious that the thread was never made to ask for mods. OP simply mentioned they were excited for mods that are currently WIP partway through the thread, which is on topic.
Blur’s Adventure Sonic is an amalgamation of SA, SA2, and Heroes, so he’ll have moves from all three games. We’re leaning towards not having any sort of 06 in there because it falls in a weird gray area between Dreamcast and Modern Era
You know I like how Sonic '06 controls. He's really tight.
It’s not about control scheme, it’s about abilities
That's what i meant. Controls not as in buttons, but his abilities, his movements.
I know you believe that modern Sonic and classic Sonic have a clear-cut, black-and-white divide, but at the very least you shouldn't insist that adventure-era and boost-era Sonic have exactly the same gameplay, or even close to the same gameplay. SA1 and SA2 differ significantly from the boost games in Sonic's gameplay, and even somewhat from each other. Those games have a 3D implementation of the spindash very different from in SRB2, rather than the boost or anything like that.
It's not me who "believed" about that clear cut, it's Sega who officially said that Adventure 1 was when Modern Sonic appeared for the first time in the series.
Source?
You are right about that bro, also see note love the new profile pic.
The first time Sonic was considered Modern was in Generations so that there was a distinction between him and Classic Sonic. The Sonic in Sonic 1 is Modern Sonic if he never gets taken by the Time Eater. The Sonic in Sonic 1 is also Classic Sonic if he does get taken by the Time Eater. This shouldn’t be a hard concept to understand
Even regardless of this, the Modern Sonic mod more represents the Boost formula gameplay. This isn't the gameplay of the Adventure era which is being replicated.
In terms of timelines, there's only one Sonic native to any particular timeline so yes, if you are referring to the Modern Timeline then even back in Sonic 1, 2, 3, etc. it's still Modern Sonic. However, there is still a clear cut difference between "Modern Sonic" and "Classic Sonic" in terms of character design. Personally, I feel like this is true between Adventure Era Sonic and the Modern Sonic we are familiar with today, but not as drastically as the difference between Modern and Classic.
This is when the whole marketing trend started, yes. Classic Sonic was named as such in Super Smash Bros Brawl as a sticker though, iirc. So the distinction between the art styles does go back a little bit earlier.
It makes sense to me, But I see your side too. I respect you questioning me, We both make good points.
