I watched Sonic X and I loved it, of course some of the characterisations are different or storyline may not be refined and animation subpar but every episode I’ve seen (I think I got around to ep 70? I got really busy for a WHILE and need to pick it back up again)

Each episode has banter and fun dynamics even with its faults. Eggman is so godamn funny. Sonic is so witty and just fucks off at times because he CAN! And I know the dreaded ‘Sonic the wind!’ Characterisation but i don’t think it’s nearly as bad of a thing as people make it out to be.

Tails feels ACTUALLY useful. Amy feels like an actual character being able to be really kind and sweet and yet also hot headed. Knuckles my GOAT! His moments may be few and far between in comparison but oh my gosh for me personally I love this characterisation of him as he lives and goes on himself! He’s the lone guardian and he ACTS like it! He WANTS to go back to angel island! He’s gullible but not a airhead, he ACTUALLY goes band for band against Sonic.

Some of the adventure episodes feel rushed I admit but still done fairly well even though I would want more Gamma screen time. Shadow felt like a REAL damn threat and just straight up aura.

All the side characters have funny and wholesome moments and the NUMEROUS side plot or non game related episodes feel all really loose and good fun!

Rouge’s VA was so ok point and moments with Knuckles and Shadow very entertaining.

Also Chris’s mom is bad asf.

Even with its faults I think it’s still a really good show. It was cheap. It was for kids. It’s PEAK!

Recently I’ve tried forcing myself to play with no lock on but it’s been literally just straight misery when I do.

I have to do claw so I can ACTUALLY use the benefit of no lock on but I’ve still not been able to really do it effectively and it feels incredibly clunky.

I’ve tried no lock on so I can actually block side dashes but still find it just as bad since you literally can’t react to it. AT ALL. Yeah I don’t care if it’s how battlegrounds just are when I have to do a fucking guess of a block to avoid a 60% combo instead of idk having small windows where you can turn to block.

Is it a skill issue? Yes.

Do I suck ass at JJS? Yes.

Am I trying to be a better player? Yes.

AM I HAVING A MISERABLE TIME LEARNING NO LOCK ON?!? YESSSS!!!

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay I’ve never done a battlegrounds game moveset concept before so this may be very bad so I apologise if so.

HP: 100
Archetype: a zoner/rushdown focusing on buffing/debuffing and mix ups.

Special: Burning hot.
Upon activation for the next 15 seconds Jogo gets +1.25 DMG to his M1 +30% of his damage dealt back to him as HP. Makes cooldowns 10% faster. When this state ends it will have a cooldown of 17.5 seconds.

Abilities

Ability 1
Flame
Jogo will put his hands infront of himself one over the other like in the anime and after 1.8 seconds fires a large and wide beam of flame for 1.6 seconds (think Manitos worm thing) deals 11 damage +7 burn damage. 1 burn damage a second. Opponent is stunned when hit but not ragdolled. If blocked then raw damage is 6 damage.
Burn acting as a poison type damage but slows the victim by 5% in movement speed and gives -10% damage resistance.
Cooldown 22 seconds.

Ability 2
Volcano summon
Jogo points his arm out in a second and behind the opponent a volcanic summon appears giving the open 1.5 seconds to dash/move out the way before it fires a burst of flame applying 5 Burn damage and its Burn affect. And flings the victim towards Jogo and ragdolls are the opponent.
Cannot be used during Blast.
Cooldown 16.5 seconds.

Ability 3
Ignite
Jogo puts out an open hand infront of himself just barely longer than regular m1 distance within a 0.4 second wind up before the opponent is stunned for a second and 6 Burn damage is applied. This move bypasses block though can be countered.
If hit 14.5 seconds.
If missed 17.5 seconds.

Ability 4
Sparks
Jogo pulls back both arms before pushing them forwards in a second and walking forward at partly increased speeds and fire 4 rays of fire each dealing 1 damage and 1 Burn damage over the course of 3 seconds not including wind up. This move can be blocked entirely. Cannot use flame when sparks is active.

Sorry if it’s ass I made it for fun and I took heavy inspo from already put in moves though hopes the buff or rather debuff aspect would spice it up!

Sry if it looks like I’m being toxic but I genuinely found this shit hysterical.

I played through Undertale and only just finished Deltarune chapter 1 but oh my god…is there a world where Asgore is happy? Where he isn’t forced into a trolley problem and then left behind to wallow in his own guilt without anything as much as a genuine friendship?

In Undertale he’s so depressed that the ‘strongest’ monster of the underground is slow, weak and able to be taken down with only a bit of effort (in my opinion)
All from him being forced into less than ideal circumstances and wanting to free his people so used the souls of the children to build to that goal and no taking a soul to cross the barrier to get more souls is a even WORSE morally since then it’s far more intentional and would lead to when monsters when they did escape having a horrific end since all of humanity would see them as barbaric since if even their king is going out and slaughtering people. Atleast AT LEAST with people falling in they would be just a victim of circumstance. As natural as it could be. A trolly problem of freeing monsterkind or sparing the fallen ones. Asgore only ever wanted to keep the flames of hope burning. To free his people. In a place where you are literally trapped with one barbaric solution you will have to resort to that solution or die in the dark to be forgotten.

The choice for that problem making himself feel that guilt without NO support other than his subjects. Not actual friendships made. No Toriel. No children since don’t forget Chara and Asriel are both dead. Having the duty to then murder fallen children and haunted with those actions and the resemblances to his own children? I am so sorry Asgore.

And in deltarune? I enter his shop and he’s alone and it’s dreary and his only company is the flowers. Alpyhs thinks he’s hitting on her, he’s divorced with no custody.

PLEASE TOBY! PLEASE LET ASGORE BE HAPPY! I BEG OF YOU!

“Michael Brookes”

Michael is a young man who was a upcoming pop star specialising in guitar and singing after running away from home, being extremely reckless as he quickly dived head first into the most negative sides of the music industry such as drugs, alcohol and sleeping around constantly becoming narcissistic and a womaniser but never the less rising despite these flaws but quickly built up an immense audience and need to perform but eventually these vices caught up to him impacting his health, performances and stress leading his own band to force him to rehab. Finally after this he swore he was going to finally do good and be the ‘Best pop star ever’ but after one clean performance of a life time…no one ever heard of Michael again.

Michael is extremely charismatic, witty and carries themself with glamour and style though admittedly due to the stress of X’s world his negative traits have resurfaced making his ‘need to perform’ all the more apparent and pride noticeable though concealed under charm.

For design: right arm is cut at the elbow due to X wanting to take away his primary passion. Eyes half lidded usually though can become expressive when prompted, pink instead of blue eyeshadow, a pink/black spiked leather jacket. Heels replaced with black knee high boots.

Michael is insecure over their body but then immediately disregarded upon finding out they could FUCKING FLY! And use his voice even more effectively.

I have put forth the concept to a game I’m on.

All these are references from my very own goldie!

1st image was my very first drawing I done when I actually wanted to learn how to draw! Back in June 12th 2024

An in the works Sonic Exe Asym focused entirely on vessels and gameplay being very selfish and steering as far away from teamplay as can be though still possible it would be more risky and far less efficient. It would have tasks to make time go by faster, less of a ‘fight back!’ Mentality and more focused on ‘I need to survive’ mindset.
