He’s a hedgehog who ate the fast-fast fruit

Normal hedgehogs can't slam back chili dogs though.

Fuck the Labyrinth Zone. Fuck the Aquatic Ruin Zone too, it's not even that they are hard, they are just so slow and unfun. With Aquatic you can try to avoid by staying up top but I always fall to water fairly quickly.

No better way to wake yourself up in the morning.

Fuck that music. The stress it made me feel was unreal.

Couldn’t he just jump up and start running really fast on water like how Dash did in The Incredibles? I don’t get this

Normal hedgehogs are great swimmers

Sonic is not a normal hedgehog.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

It's not like he has an infamous segment where he swims underwater

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, sonic wears shoes. That's not normal for a hedgehog

And he's far less green

Once I was watching my sister try Sonic Adventure for the first time (got it on Steam from a bundle). I had never played Adventure myself but I knew the Megadrive/Genesis Sonics a bit, more than she did in any case.

She's just messing around, finds a small pool (more like blue transparent rectangle) and jumps in, laughing about the complete lack of physics or any watery effect.

Then "wait, what the fuck is that loud music, why is it playing now?"... And I'm like "Yeah, that's the sound of you drowning." "Oh."

So as someone who grew up playing sonic on gensis, he seems to be preety damn good underwater and spends alot of time there lol.

Wait... I just saw a bubble! How far back was it? Do I got back or try and find another one in front of me? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

My daughter watches a video on YouTube called Sonic Retold, just an animation using in-game graphics from Sonic 1.

When it gets to labyrinth zone, Sonic stops and looks at the water - no matter where I am in the house she yells out to me “Sonic doesn’t like water!”

Im playing sonic adventure right now and in the second chaos fight you can just walk on the surface of the pond

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You sink in if you take too long though. I always took it to be that Chaos's body was effecting the water somehow.

This is exactly why the pond is basically jello.
