What the hell is "Direct Jump" supposed to be?

Apparently, it speeds up your wall jump.

I know what you mean, I like to go with Toxic Caves for Classic Chemical Plant, and SSZBFUS for Speed Highway Classic :D

I came.

By the way, thank you guys for the spoiler tags. I, sadly, won't be able to get this game until probably December.

[diplomacydog]

Man this game is so incredible. I really like the way Modern Sonic has finally been set up. Seaside Hill Modern in particular is an amazing mixture of speed and platforming.

So what Ring Number you get? What is the Track listings/Credits? do tell!

Anyone else find it odd that the bosses are piss easy up until

Spoiler

Egg Dragoon? Which is damn annoying I might say. It took me forever to get the strategy down.

Egg Dragoon was surprisingly easy. All of his attacks were easy to see coming. The only "hard" boss was the final boss for how hard it is to see rings and the fact there's too much talking going on. (HOLY HELL SHUT UP I KNOW IT'S A HOMING SHOT JESUS CHRIST WHERE'S THE MUTE BUTTON)

Even then, it was a pretty worthless final boss. I'd put it at level with the Nega Wisp Queen in how crap it was. It never really felt like, "...oh damn, it's the final fight." Perfect Chaos, if anything, had that down and he was just a mid-game boss.

It doesn't help that all the bosses, even in Hard mode, are utter jokes. Very disappointing. It just feels that, while Sega's heart was in the right place, they dropped the ball on a lot of things. Bosses and odd loading burps on the PS3 (and apparently on the 360 version; on the PS3 version, it takes a long time for music to start playing when loading up a modern stage) are just a few of the problems this game has.

And both Super Sonics are just neutered. Classic Super Sonic has no notable advantages like a higher jump or faster speed and Modern Super Sonic is just awful and has no point in being used. I do hope that in a future update this is fixed, even if it breaks the game. Classic getting a higher jump and increased speed and modern playing more like his Colors variant would be dandy. Right now, it's an underwhelming post-game prize.

Also, I'm not fond that holding down-diagonal doesn't make Classic Sonic roll into a ball. You must push directly down while moving to trigger that. It makes taking out enemies more of a hassle than it should. This is more a personal play style preference though.

I'm ready to fucking murder the Doppelganger in Modern Crisis City. I usually have no issues with time attacks but beating this little bugger is the last remaining mission I have left.

I think more than the doppleganger, it's the overall layout of Modern CC that's really ticking me off. It seems the platforms are always just a *tad* too high, or a *bit* too far to maximize high speed platforming. I didn't notice this so much in other levels but CC's overall flow/layout - particularly those lava stomp rocks - is infuriating.

That said, I really love Classic Crisis City...love the trolling!!

Since I know there are those with the PS3 version, we should also post our PSN usernames, okay?

Mine's ancara22. I'm now currently in the process of trying to get decent times on each stage, so if ya wanna see how much a fail, give my times a look, ok?

[SomeSortOfRobot]

So does the art book contain anything that's not in the game?

[Chimpo]

What the fuck?

Why even bother to release it on the 3rd then?

[Hero Of Fate]

It'd be November 4th in Europe. Valve and SEGA are trolling, it's actually the day it was supposed to be released originally. In most of the world, that is.

[Blivsey]

Well hey there, man, how've you been?
