    "I can't recommend Matt McMuscle's video on the subject." Either Johnny forgot the "enough" at the end of that sentence or he's still upset Matt made him talk about Ken Penders, which I can't really blame him for.

One of the only cases where I do know that's the case is Metroid, as after Other M got backlash for its handling of the story, Samus Returns and Dread went back to being more like the older games and Nintendo and Sakamoto seem to be glad to just pretend Other M never happened. But at the same time despite people having gripes with Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Nintendo decided to evolve it's style of gameplay for Color Splash anyway. Origami King brings things more in line with older titles but still doesn't go full Thousand-Year Door-like yet.

      sonic and mario could stand to swap design philosphies sometimes.
      Mario does the same goddamn thing every time just polished to a fine sheen, and that's fantastic, but god I wish they'd be more willing to shake things up more nowadays.
      Meanwhile Sonic is allergic to refining it's concepts and instead throws fifty individual cool ideas at the wall and rarely sticks to any of them, with maybe a slight concession given to Boost gameplay (but even then it's wildly different between games. The closest you get is Unleashed > Generations and maybe Forces, but the mission structure makes me weary there)

    Johnny you just highlighted the Biggest issue with this entire franchise and that is the lack of consistency. It seems Sega and Sonic Team only expands on an idea if they knock it out of the park in the first attempt. If it's anything less than perfect, if it's something that a good chunk of people don't jive with, then it's an idea that's never touched upon again.
    - Sonic Shuffle doesn't do too well? No More Party games for Sonic.
    - Sonic The Fighters does decent enough in Japan, they make a follow up on the GBA and that doesn't do too well, so no more Fighting games for Sonic.
    - Sonic R doesn't do too hot? Sega doesn't touch the idea of On Foot Racing until the Sonic Rivals games on PSP, but because they don't sell at all basically, No more On Foot Racing for Sonic.
    - Sonic Chronicles Bombs Hard? No more RPGs for Sonic
    - Everyone likes Sonic Riders and Riders Zero Gravity but since the third game was a Kinect game that doesn't work, No more Air board racing for Sonic
    - The Adventure Formula got a Decent run with Adventure 1, 2, and Heroes, and while I hate Shadow the Hedgehog, The game controls decent enough, but once 06 came and Nuked the entire franchise, No More Adventure Formula.
    - Lost World attempts to bring back the Adventure Formula while mainly doing it's own thing with the Parkour system, While I liked the game, Most people didn't, so No more Parkour Sonic.
    - The Boost games were great but Sega back peddles to that formula after Lost World doesn't do to well and since Forces showed what the Boost formula looks like at its worst, There's Most likely No more Boost Formula for Sonic.
    Sega doesn't try to improve upon any ideas that get a majority of negative reviews, instead of learning from the criticism and making something better, The idea gets thrown out and onto a completely different idea. There is almost no consistency with this series and this mentality that Sega builds for themselves is the part of the reason why the Fanbase is so fractured on what makes a Good Sonic game. You got the camp that prefers the 2D games, The Camp that prefers the Adventure Era of games, The Boost games, The Story Book Games, The Dimps developed games, etc. I honestly do want to see what Sonic Team has planned for this Open World Idea for Sonic Rangers but Sega really just needs to get rid of this perfectionist mentality they have, Look back on the ten thousand ideas they made One-Shot attempts for, and just give them a second chance by improving on what didn't work. Make a Sonic Shuffle 2, Make a Sonic the Fighters 2 or Battle 2, Make a Sonic Riders 4, Make another Adventure Game or Lost World 2, See if Bioware is interested in making another Sonic RPG for consoles, Make Sonic R 2 or Rivals 3. The Ideas aren't bad, it's just the execution is hit or miss and to Sega, Miss=Completely abandon.

    Skill Points are based on your performance in a fight, no matter if you're Emerl or a regular character.
    5 skill points - win but don't get hit in a fight.
    2 skill points - win but don't get knocked out in a fight.
    1 skill point - win the fight after getting knocked out.
    10 Skill points - get a chaos emerald in the story.

    18:23, I have a few corrections for Sonic the Fighters.

    2. Honey is not actually not in the original release at all, she was found in the code years later and was finished up for the HD remasters.
    3. The game was called Sonic Championship in the US and was renamed to Sonic the Fighters internationally for the remasters to match the Japanese title.
    If anyone's looking for more information may I recommend the Cutting Room Floor Wiki and of course Sonic Retro.
    Anyways just wanted to share that info. Sonic the Fighters has information mixed up all the time, so no biggy. Thanks for the awesome video!

    Sonic the Fighters did make it over here as Sonic Championship, though cabinets were pretty rare. The giant arcade on the Las Vegas Strip had one back in the late 90s and I played it to death.

    All right, this is the second time this has been mentioned in one of his videos, what is the deal with Richard Jacques? Is there some kind of controversy with him?
    Edit: did some digging, apparently Jacques didn't like Tee Lopes' remix of Can You Feel the Sunshine, and didn't like that he wasn't credited as the original creator of the song. While the crediting issue is justified, not only the that fall into the hands of Sega to handle, his comments were unnecessarily mean and spiteful. Bentley Jones later spoke up and stated that he was reportedly bullied by Jacques in the past as well, to the point that he had to get in touch with corporate.

      @@polocatfan I am very bad at Reading people sometimes, so I cannot tell if this is supposed to be sarcasm. Bad people can make good music or produce good media. With the world we live in, even and older times, it is a matter of trying to separate the art from the artist. Mind you, in certain context it would be very hard to do so, but I can in this regard. There are numerous songs and tracks that I adore by artists that I don't care for personally. It doesn't stop me from listening to some of their stuff.

      And if someone's going to be a despicable, insufferable piece of human filth, then to me, the talent doesn't ultimately matter, when it's wasted on people that cause misery towards others, for the most arbitrary and fucked up reasons (or even actively contribute to things that do that, altogether).

    Seeing Johnny marathon through a bunch of games in one vid (ironically during a marathon) like this, the Sonic Racing games, and the Street Fighter video are very interesting to see him do. Kinda reminds me of Scott the Woz and Caddy's new format of torturing himself for an hour lol

    • @Substantial-hf1rm
      @Substantial-hf1rm 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think he should do it more often, as much as I enjoy the normal marathon formate, it lead to series fatigue and endings up making him missing a lot of recent releases due to him having prior commitments to a series. It's honestly part of why I think his channel grow slower than it should for the level of quality.

      Part of the blame goes to Sonic Fans not reacting well to changes or design choices. even the worst sonic game has a neat idea somewhere, even if the only people willing to polish it are fans.
