DBZ: Possible crossover with Sonic?

[dbzfan7]

The 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog had appropriate representation in Generations, most of the Sonic party games or spin-offs feature Silver the Hedgehog, and even Mephiles the Dark shows up in Sonic Runners. Compare that to GT, which gets shoved in Heroes all the time, and I don't really see much of a difference. SEGA and Sonic Team definitely don't pretend they didn't make that game.

And GT being "remembered and loved" is a huge stretch.

I never said loved. Remembered for sure though. I said not as taboo as one thinks as it's not treated as a cancer by the officials. If you don't believe me, you should see what they say and tweet about it. They constantly mock Sonic 06, even going as far during their panel of history to skip over Sonic 06 as a joke. Like it never happened. I was quite shocked at some of the representation it got, but it is not at all looked at in a positive light by the officials.

I think that it's pretty big of Sega and Sonic Team that they're okay with laughing about a past mistake like that. Much better than them forcing Aaron to praise the game every time it comes up, or something like that.

It was big....til they took some of their jokes and attitude a bit too far for my tastes. But that has nothing to do with topic at hand. My point is Dragon Ball scars are not as deep as Sonic scars. It's not even a contest.

There is great reviewer on Youtube, called SomecallmeJohnny, he is big Sonic fan, but he is not blind fanboy, and openly tells what problems he have with both Classic and Modern Sonic games, he even made fun of some fans by saying "Sonic have green eyes? RUINED FOREVER!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw2Js6pSN6o 48:30 Nice comment on loud but entertaing fans of Sonic, check out Sonic Hacking Contest videos too, I'm surprised what ideas people have, Sonic and Thomas The Tank Engine

His Sonic reviews are my favorite take on the games. He's also a big Dragon Ball fan: he's done reviews on the Budokai Trilogy (1, then 2 and 3 together).

Glad to see another somecallmejohnny fan One of his friends comes on here I think. His names Kirbopher.

Won't disagree there. With Super, Dragon Ball's only just now getting to Adventure 1 levels of quality. We're not quite in Heroes/Shadow/06 territory yet.

Actually a pretty good spot to put it at. I like half of adventure and either am indifferent or don't like the other half. Kinda like with Super. I don't think they blend well to make a good game, and I think the characters would have awful chemistry for the most part. So despite some similarities, I think they should not be near each other. I'd much rather Mario and Sonic have a proper game. I think that'd work better. He'd work well the titans and power puff girls.

Dbzfan94, dbzfan7, & VejituhTheWarriorGuy:

Read through this thread for a little bit and you'll see what I mean:
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... 25&t=33010

I've been around the Kanzenshuu forums long enough to get what you're trying to say but you should look at the Sonic Stadium forums and then you'll see what I mean.

Dude, Sonic Stadium is one little forum that shouldn't be used to gauge how hated or not the franchise is (the same goes for Kanzenshuu, regarding Super).

I wouldn't want it to be perfectly honest. I stopped being a fan of Sonic last year and it was the best decision I ever made. The series has nothing going for it anymore and it's just chugging on hoping that some concept works when most if not all of them don't. Plus, after Sonic Boom, I felt embarrassed to be a fan of the series because of the travesty that it was and by the fact that people were being looked down upon for being Sonic fans. I was a fan of the series for 16 years at that point and I couldn't believe the amount of hatred and bitterness that was present in this series that I used to love but, as of when Fire and Ice was announced, now feel nothing for. Dragon Ball doesn't need to be tainted with Sonic's lingering negativity.

Why would you be embarrassed to be a Sonic fan? Just because a single game of a sub-franchise was seen as bad?

Well depends if you support what it currently stands for. I wouldn't mind being out with a Dragon Ball or Mario t-shirt/hat I have. I would not be caught dead with my Sonic hat though. I am currently embarrassed to wear it since the series doesn't feel rated E anymore, or after what the original audience was about. Also it's pretty embarrassing to be a fan when the community despite having good, has a lot more vocally and tainted awful.

Kinda like how in any versus area I'd feel somewhat embarrassed to be a DBZ fan, since DBZ is notorious for people who wank the shit out of it. So much so it's literally a banned topic on some forums.

Exactly! That's like saying you hate Dragon Ball games because Sagas was supposedly so terrible.

Of course the worst thing that could come from combining them would be the memes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMPXBq97HCw (Don't click on this if you value your sanity)

[pacz360]

Is the sonic fanbase is even that bad now i mean not saying its good but I'm sure fanbases like steven universe,undertale,fnaf,mlp etc kinda overshadowed it through the years.

[RandomGuy96]

If I may.

Seriously, this goes on the same pile for me as stuff like Pokemon, Digimon, Yu Gi Oh, and so forth: the continued obsession with and viability of Sonic the Hedgehog as a cultural entity is one of the single most mystifying oddities in the world to me.
-snip rant-

I agree 100%. The existence of the Sonic fandom is totally baffling to me.

[Daisetsu]

I don't understand. You're baffled because we like something that you don't like? That we still find enjoyment in something that you don't? The same thing could be said for Dragon Ball (and actually IS said by some people).

[VejituhTheWarriorGuy]

I'm not a fan because I realized that the series doesn't have any real direction and it continues to go in places that aren't right for it and that makes the quality of the games shoddy and I just feel nothing for it anymore and that situation only helped me not be a fan anymore. I still enjoy some of the games but I feel nothing for it now. Maybe the next game will get me back into the series when it's announced but I don't know.

I honestly find that to be baffling.

Sure, there's a lot of shit to hate in the series, but there's enough legitimately enjoyable stuff to come out of it that the fact that it has a fandom shouldn't be baffling. Even if we're only talking about music.

[Bansho64]

I just want to point out that Tomoya Ohtani never stopped composing music for Sonic. All he ever tweets about is Sonic Runners, and he's worked on all the "recent"(read: last ten years) games minus Sonic Boom, which is considered a spin-off series.

My apologies, I was not aware. I had thought the because he didn't do Sonic Boom, that he quit. It's nice to hear he's still in the mix after all these years.

Hairless is a type of style. So it counts as part of the Rule 34.
