So apparently SSS is going to have a short mini-comic (Sonic Origins) about the founding of the Freedom Fighters? Or something? What's up with that?

Hope really had no place in a meeting for people going up to shoot aliens while the scientists were supposed to be fixing the broken world. Besides, there's more people out there with characters to come back than just Bollers and Penders. If there's anyone whose characters still have a shot, it's Angelo DeCesare, who still works for Archie. (He made the Nerbs, Larry, and the Arctic FFs.)

Correct, 256 ends with another reality warp that not only terminates Sally, it terminates the rest of the cast, the comic itself, the forums, every issue of the comic, and Archie Comics Publications.

Archie headquarters no longer exists. There is simply a hole in spacetime where it once existed in another non-place in the underverse, since it never truly existed in our universe and is nothing more than a delusion.

Archie got shit for not treating him like a kid the...maybe three times post-Heroes but pre-175 he actually showed up and trying to "fix" it by giving him brain damage.

Mixing Sonic Underground with Archie is a no go, like Sonic X. Flynn has said it's possible to get maybe a one time issue, like the planned SU thing, but even that looks unlikely now.

Alt-continuity wise it goes

Usable
- Satam
- AoStH

Unusable
- Underground
- Sonic The Comic
- OVA
- other misc

Technically usable as it's own continuity, just isn't
- Sonic X

Pretty sure Ian said that it was only certain stuff from SatAM and AoSTH, too, like no one-off crap or anything that you know they'll never get away with (Robotnik Jr).

Also, those other continuities can be cheekily referenced, but their characters can't show up because legal stuff. Of course, how many characters can you honestly get from Underground and the OVA that aren't incidental as all-get-out? Shame about StC, but that's a creator rights thing that I'm not sure anyone really wants to disturb.
>> No. 221644

Actually, better example: The Lost World adaptation. Ian's already said it's in-canon at a later point, but the parts from the opening cutscene don't follow it word-for-word. Words in it actually are changed.
>> No. 221658
>>221654
>>221656
Wait wait wait, so let me see if I got this.
You're SURE that this word doesn't count anymore, this instance of a girl who had never been anywhere but this one space station, this girl who doesn't understand what it's even like down there, because some words were changed in a single attempted adaptation of a cutscene written months before the game itself came out.

We're saying that Maria saying the word "earth" shouldn't be considered canon, that we can't know for sure if this little girl is calling the planet that was confirmed over a decade ago to be Earth "earth", because "maybe it's not canon I guess".

I just want to establish that this is the line of logic we're going down, and that this is TOTALLY divorced from you just trying to find a reason to not acknowledge that someone in-universe called it "earth" one time, because if all this is right then I think we've come to an understanding.

By the way, we probably shouldn't assume that any mention of the big rock holding up Angel Island as "the Master Emerald" or Espio being a chameleon to be canon. It hasn't been established yet in the new continuity and hasn't been referred to in the games or comics since, so we shouldn't make such hasty assumptions.
>> No. 221659
>>221658
>"You're SURE that this word doesn't count anymore"
No. I never said that. I said that just because the games are more part of the comics doesn't mean that it's definitely canon that the planet is called Earth because of a line in Sonic Adventure 2. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

So, yes, you did misunderstand me.


>"It hasn't been established yet in the new continuity and hasn't been referred to in the games or comics since, so we shouldn't make such hasty assumptions."
It also hasn't been established that every part of the games have happened, and it's even already implying that Unleashed hasn't happened, and that it isn't going to happen much like it did in the games when it does.

They haven't seen a single sign that Dark Gaia is coming back. Uncle Chuck was never a part of Unleashed and I'm pretty sure Tails only just saw Sonic as the Werehog and never saw him beast out.

There's this thing called "dramatic irony" anon. Look it up. Just because WE know Dark Gaia is showing up doesn't mean the cast is going to realize it immediately, and the fact that they don't realize doesn't mean they don't know what Dark Gaia is.

>> No. 221673
Another thing is that the games didn't necessarily happen in ArchieSonic in a chronological order matching the release of the games. Barring certain characters, like Shadow appearing in an an event from a pre-SA2 game, a lot of the games could easily happen in an order other than the order they were released in (especially if we ignore games like Sonic '06). So Unleashed could happen after Colors (which we know already happened in this new universe).

The only game that really references other games (AFAIK) is Sonic Generations. After that, the only thing tying them together chronologically is character first appearances. And, for the most part, even that can be hand-waved away by saying "oh, character X was on the other side of the world, so s/he wouldn't show up during this event anyway..."
>> No. 221675
>>221673
>The only game that references others is Sonic Generations.
CD's extras reference 2.
3K references 2, and it's part of its story.
Adventure references CD and 3K. (Amy kidnap scene, Knuckles getting tricked "again", etc)
Adventure 2 references Adventure. (Rouge has newspaper of Tails receiving emerald from Station Square for saving them from Eggman)
Heroes references Adventure 2 (no shit).
Shadow references Heroes. (again, no shit)
06 references Shadow. (Shadow joins GUN, references not caring about his past anymore and Mephelis's "JOIN ME" ploy not working on him because he's done that shit before)
Unleashed references fucking nothing.
Colors directly references Unleashed. (Eggman finishes Orbot [people forget Orbot is from Unleashed] and builds Cubot)
Generations references everything.
Lost World references Colors.

Unless we're retconning the story so that we have Red-Orbot and White-Orbot, Unleashed HAS to happen before Colors.
>> No. 221682
>>221675
>06 References Shadow
Not necessarily. 06 was supposed to be a reboot of its own as well. Nothing in the story references anything in Shadow, in fact, him joining GUN comes out of nowhere and there's no explanation for it.

>Colors directly references Unleashed.
Eggman having a different colored version of a robot from another game isn't exactly strong evidence. He doesn't say anything about removing Orbot's sass, and Cubut could be handwaved.

>Lost World References Colors
In so much that there are wisps in the gameplay, but they are never mentioned in the story itself and tacked on as fuck in the stages.
>> No. 221683
>>221682
I was one of the anons trying to explain 06 was a reboot on /co/. You should note, though, they never intended fro it to be a full reboot, presumably since they know and fear the reaction that'd get. SEGA's notion of reboot, which they did in both 2006 and Unleashed, was just "this is a new status quo that doesn't need the previous games to work". Doesn't mean the previous games don't exist. And then Generations tied them all together.
>> No. 221685

Not every Sonic game is canon.

If you want to believe it's canon, go ahead. But, considering Generations

-contradicts past games canon
-contradicts future games canon
-has a shoestring, tacked-on plot that is full of plot-holes

Then it's pretty reasonable to say SEGA never intended it to be part of the overarching continuity.

But, if you ever get SEGA to draw up a list of canon games and they put Generations on it, I'll accept it in a heartbeat. Until then, I'd appreciate you stop spreading fan theories as fact.
>> No. 221690
>>221689
I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing where "the big budget main Sonic game SEGA made for the 20th anniversary is canon" is a fan theory. Yes, not every game is canon. You'll notice none of the non-canon games is one of the main series ones. Sonic 1-3k, CD, 4, Adventure, Adventure 2, Heroes, Shadow, Rush, 06, Rush Adventure, Unleashed, Colours, Generations, Lost World. Possibly the storybooks. The only ones here that aren't main games are the Rush ones.

There's also the part where it doesn't disregard past nor future canon, but even if it did, it's a bit STUPID to say SEGA'd make a game just to then consider it not worth being considered. Even 06 came back.
>> No. 221691
>>221682
>Eggman having a different colored version of a robot from another game isn't exactly strong evidence.

Sonic 3 isn't a sequel to Sonic 2. Having another thing called "The Death Egg" in it isn't exactly strong evidence, and we KNOW the American manuals lie all the time. And even if it was there's nothing to say that 2 comes before 3 and K so there. Don't be a pedantic asshole just because you don't want to choose to believe something. Sonic doesn't have some sort of deep narrative, but nearly every single game references one of the previous games and is kind of locked in a general order by that. If we're seriously going to start saying that the first version of a character just WASN'T A THING, we may as well say fuck it and never pretend any game has any place with any other game. Shadow happened before SA2. Battle before CD.
>> No. 221692
>>221690
The "fan theory" part is where fans decide what is canon instead of SEGA. You see because without confirmation from official sources, anything we say on this matter is speculation.

If you want to believe Generations is canon because it was a big game, sure, that's reasons.
But it's not really any more compelling that believing it's not canon because it has huge plot holes and breaks continuity.

>There's also the part where it doesn't disregard past nor future canon
Yes it does, explicitly. ex what happened to Orbot/Cuebot, Eggman being lost in a void/no mention of how he escaped in Lost World, 06 levels even being there

>SEGA'd make a game just to then consider it not worth being considered

Considered for what? Do you believe games that aren't part of a continuity are somehow worth less than games that are? Because that's silly. It effects nothing gameplay wise if Generations is canon to Adventures or the classic series.

Until SEGA pulls what Nintendo did for Zelda and clears up this timeline mess, if they ever care to, we just can't really say our ideas are more official than fan theories buddy.

... those are not plotholes. Fuck's sake, those are not plotholes. Do we need to have everything spelled out to be...

Orbot and Cubot were in space. Hell, for complaining it's not canon it's odd you chose the game that directly connects to the ending of Colours. How did they then return to earth for Lost World? Do we need to be shown that? Between Star Wars Ep 5 and 6 Luke moves from one planet to another. Is it a mystery?

Eggman got out of the white void. How? Doesn't matter. Eggman breaks timestreams every each sunday, how is this a plot hole by any necessity? Hell, why are you picking on this and not "how does Classic Eggman not remember all this?" (choose your option- alternate timeline, forgot memories, etc)

And really, "Why is Crisis City" is a plot hole? We have a monster explicitly shown to be able to destroy and pull and create and break a timeline at will, why is it inconcievable it'll manage to pull off a destroyed city from a cancelled timeline? It's the Time Eater, it doesn't give a fuck!


Generations is stupidly light in plot, yes. But saying it can't be canon because time travel when the short plot it has is "there's a big monster that fucks time around and allows for all sort of shenanigans that don't make sense"...
>> No. 221696
>>221694
Those weren't the plot holes I just listed, they were the examples of continuity being discarded.

Orbot and Cubot being abandoned in the vastness of space, and then back as lackeys as if nothing happened in Lost World? Not a plot hole. Didn't say it was. But it is a clear cut, explicit example of SEGA not giving a FUCK about the canon of generations.

Your argument boils down to Who Cares?? It Happened Off Screen, which is not-at-all a better explanation than the game just not being canon. In fact it's much worse, because you're saying SEGA is forcing bad writing into the main series just to interconnect games for no reason, like some sort pin-board conspiracy theorist.

The plot holes can just be summed up as the MANY time paradoxes that are not worth going into at this time. The story... is just a mess.

BUT

Like I said earlier, I don't care/want/need to disprove Generations is canon to you (I mean, I can point out how unlikely it is by pointing to the evidence, but it's honestly irrelevant), because at the end of the day without SEGA clarifying this is all still just fan theories.
And the only reason I stepped into this discussion was so people realized it wasn't canon-truefax that Generations is part of the greater continuity.

So unless you disagree with that basic premise, there's not much point arguing about the story of Sonic Generations.

No, Anon. They didn't. They couldn't find the contract they said he signed at the start of his time at Archie. They couldn't find copies of that. They couldn't find another document he supposedly signed a few years later. They DID find copies of that, but it's got great big massive problems, like names never filled out and that sort of thing.

Someone did a summary of all the legal stuff on a tumblr a while back, explaining it well. But the gist is that even if the courts allowed photocopies Archie will still be in trouble. They borked. They borked big time.

So I guess the complaint that new King Max is just King Max in name only was incorrect...

This was known for months now. As soon as the comic mentioned him only as King Acorn, everyone went to check and, sure enough, SatAM never named him, Penders did. 2+2=5, Max was gone. Why is everyone acting surprised now?

The same reason people insist on places like Artika and Avalon have to have separate articles on the wiki and you shouldn't join Egg Armies and DELs that are literally the same with a "Formerly known a X DEL" disclaimer at the beginning.

Honestly most of that sounds like a good idea. This is basically two separate continuities were talking about now, and the wiki is enough of a confusing mess as it is without combining different iterations on the same page.

Should happen to most of the major characters too, since fundamental things about them have changed about them. And it's much more legible and informative to read two different pages with specific topics than "Sonic is aged 15 (17 pre 252)" except all though the page.

>It's less confusing to have two different articles that say almost exactly the same thing with a slightly different history section and risk a bunch of dumb, confused links to the two separate pages all over the wiki than to just have one article with a pre and post history section.

Have you actually been on the wiki? Have you seen the pages in question? You have articles that just say "This place is X, a location on Mobius, nothing really happened here."

I mean, look at this.
http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Northern_Tundra
Do you seriously think this needs to be its own page, and then we need a separate page for every single instance of the same freaking place with a different name from now on instead of just prefacing an Artika article with "previously known as the Northern Tundra"?

Not that I have a hand in any of the wikis, but I'd say it makes sense. Sure, there's barely any difference now, but that's because the new direction isn't even a year old. Laying the groundwork now so they don't have to divide pages later makes sense to me.

I get where you're coming from, but...most of these articles are a single paragraph of information at best. The wiki is such a colossal, disorganized mess that it seems silly to glut it up with even more pages when a simple "This used to be that" suffices, especially for some of the DEL chapters and locations. It feels about as redundant as making a page for each individual story in the comics instead of pages for each issue. Sure, some of the stuff on the page isn't relevant, but it's better to have a tiny paragraph on top of the page about some dumb old stuff that doesn't matter anymore than to have dozens of essentially useless articles that don't really tell the reader anything.

Heck, previously we had "Grandmaster" go to a page about Dark Legion Grandmasters and Dark EGG Legion Grandmasters, with a link back to the Sub-Boss page for...another list of the Grandmasters, but also with the sub-bosses from earlier in the comic on it. The simpler the wiki can be made for the users, the better.

Then condense old minutiae that will never be expanded on. Take locations like Northern Tundra that will forever only be a paragraph and just do a Geography of Mobius (pre-genesis) page.

Ditto pre-genesis characters that can be grouped similarly.

You have no idea how much I wish we could do something like that, but this is the wiki where the Sonic X version of every single character has their own page with no content on it.

Reasonable answers like that, or like adding a link to a "CHARACTER X history pre-SGW" page, or even just a "CHARACTER X history" page to get rid of the massive, disgusting plot recaps? They'll never be a thing because minutia is the lifeblood of wikis. You can't have an "Alternate Versions of Dr. Robotnik" page, because Robotnicus needs his own page. It's kind of depressing and makes editing the wiki feel futile.

No kidding.

That's not a character history. It's detailed plot summaries for fifteen years of comics.

In the new universe, does Sally have a defined species? Has that been confirmed?

Or is she still lumped under the umbrella of Ground Squirrel?
