not being able to burst out of a glide just feels like the logical conclusion of the base game forbidding all actions after touching a spring. that is still my least favorite part of the whole game
I suppose they're just trying to find a semblance of balance... which most mods throw out of the window for the sake of a borderline power fantasty, and it is much preferred in the community... I don't like OP mods, but I don't like SRB2 a lot and my favorite mod is E-102 Gamma, so I digress.
For me, the Egg Pack feels like Tails without roll (if you count the slide as a slide and not a roll reskin). But it's exactly the fact that he can't spin that makes him somewhat fun to play as, since No Spinners are some of my favs (I genuinely love playing as Amy and Fang). But again, he's Tails with no spin, so not that fun, unless you know how to use the boost/launch well, which I didn't have to very oftenly because like I said, it's Tails with no spin.
You can fall faster when flying by holding spin (This works for Tails as well). I don't think it's as good of a solution as a flight cancel would be though
I’m a bit conflicted, on one hand it is a fair review of Egg Pack compared to other mods now. On the other, consider the goals of the mod (Which I believe to be a simple vanilla style mod. And I would say it successful does excellently) That and honestly the drag of the egg pack’s lack of using both the boost and flight really isn’t that big of an issue. I use to main him and whenever I pick him up again… honestly I don’t see the issue. You can get a lot out of him with his move set and the boost is nice to help keep flow going. Honestly the slide and flying is a way stronger combo. Actually some of the few mods that makes good useful of rolling.
Yeah... from what I've seen, the community seems too accustomed to mods that break levels wide open, which only tells me people prefer that over having to engage with the levels themselves... and that says nothing good about Vanilla SRB2 as a game.
@ Well I wouldn’t go as far with that accusation. Like Egg Pack is just a better Tails basically… which obviously breaks the game’s balance. I’d weather thing it’s more of a case that people like flashy mods. As well as stupidity op mods that aren’t hard to master. (Not saying stuff like XSonic are bad, just people like well in tune mods.) As for SRB2’s level design… eh. Lots of misses but as someone that loves game design. I do think there’s a lot to appreciate, just some mind boggling level choices that make the majority dislike. (Can’t say I don’t disagree as I was there.) Random though but kind of odd that JM doesn’t enjoy this mod when Charmy is his favorite Chaotix. Which more of less is the same as Egg Pack, just a better Tails just a bit more abstract. I guess the Auto Fly really is the different maker in terms of engagement… maybe? (or me just reaching/ having a bad read, idk. .p. )
One thing I'll give Eggpack is that it actually has some interesting compatibility with Xmomentum. Since Tails' ability changes, Eggman than becomes a lot more unique with his standard flying. But that probably only matters to someone like me who uses Xmomentum 24/7
Ah, used to main this guy back when I was pretty active on those SRB2 coop servers, think I used his bounciness with walls as an advantage on occasion lol
Hey, since you're checking out (or well, revisiting) some of DrStephen's works, it would be interesting seeing what you yhink of Kou. He's a blast to play, and I'm sure you'd find enjoyment out of smashing everything with him (:
U would think the Creator had common sense to have Eggman Riding a Mech making that the real Dr Eggman mod for Srb2 but no let's make a lame mod Eggman using a jetpack him & the uncanny silly female counterpart of eggman the eggpack mod is simply not really fun & good i feel the reason the mod exist simply just to be funny besides being serious making Eggman for srb2

Jackalman, the description... it is the wrong one...
Ok there we go

i love your srb2 character reviews, they are always great to watch
I really wish we get an Eggman mod where he’s in a mech instead.

Eggpack is a simple mod that is supposed to be in the style of vanilla characters. Its pretty balanced and overall, its just a better tails
One thing I'll give Eggpack is that it actually has some interesting compatibility with Xmomentum. Since Tails' ability changes, Eggman than becomes a lot more unique with his standard flying. But that probably only matters to someone like me who uses Xmomentum 24/7
A product of its time...
ssntails just dropped srb2 for 32x (not finished yet btw)

Where's "Cosmetal Review | Sonic Robo Blast 2"?
Ah, used to main this guy back when I was pretty active on those SRB2 coop servers, think I used his bounciness with walls as an advantage on occasion lol
Review my main advance sonic please
Can you review rocket metal sonic next?
