    Sonic in 1-3 gains speed when jumping, so classic not being able to do that really bothered me.


    He doesn't. I've played them for years, and I have just checked again to make sure it wasn't something I was so used to I didn't realise, and he doesn't. Generation's has got it spot on. In Sonic Advance 3 and Sonic 4 he gains speed jumping, but not the classics.

    Jus thought I should point that out.


    I swear he does, because I tested last night. I was able to reach maximum running speed without declines/rolling/speed shoes from a standing start with only repeated jumping in Sonic 1, which I can't do in generations.

    My complaints with the game are pretty much how modern super sonic's boost literally auto plays levels for you (which I believe is stupid) at the cost of 2x ring consumption (again, believe this is stupid)

    "It's incredibly overpowered, that's stupid. There's an incredible limit on the incredibly overpowered mode, that's stupid." Am I following you correctly?


    Pretty much. I dislike both aspects of that. I like high speed. You get high speed with boost. Boost is overpowered to the point where I am no longer enjoying it. The cost of boost is so high that it doesnt make sense either.

    Super Sonic from Colors is pretty much the best rendition of modern super sonic to date.

    It gave you the insane jump, unlimited boost, with a normal ring countdown. That was perfect. There was no need to make one aspect of the character even more overpowered and then hike up the cost of said aspect.

    Too many extremes. It's almost like taking a well balanced character in a fighting game, and then suddenly breaking him offensively with high damaging normals, super fast and super low recovery specials, and frame 0 start up and fully invincible supers, but giving him 1HP and remove his ability to block, making him an insane glass canon.

    Why do something like that when he was perfectly fine in the first place? If it aint broke, don't fix it.

    I can't enjoy super sonic as a whole because of such. If I want to play modern super sonic, I have to withhold using boost, but then that damages the modern sonic side of the game because his side is designed with boost in mind. So then because of that, I can't play Super Sonic, which was something I was really looking forward to as he's been one of the biggest motivators for 100% completing sonic games with a playable non-final level exclusive super sonic. It's been like that since Sonic 2 for me.

    Modern Sonic in boost mode is more of a "true" Super Sonic than the actual Modern Super Sonic is himself.

    My complaints with the game are pretty much how modern super sonic's boost literally auto plays levels for you (which I believe is stupid) at the cost of 2x ring consumption (again, believe this is stupid), classic super sonic is nothing more than regular classic with invincibility.

    Half of the reason I love Sonic is because of Super Sonic himself. I love blowing through levels with invincibility, super speed, and super jumping, at the trade off of making precision platforming much harder and killing yourself much, MUCH easier. (I'm looking at you Super Sonic Colors)

    And on top of that, adding the new challenge of trying to keep your ring count up.



    Another complaint is how Classic Sonic does not gain speed/loses speed when short jumping. (cost me too many missed platforms, many rings, many s ranks, and even some lives.)
    I believe he doesnt gain speed when he jumps normally too, but im not sure on that.

    Sonic in 1-3 gains speed when jumping, so classic not being able to do that really bothered me.
