Other Characters In Sonic Hacks Topic

There is also a Metal Sonic in Sonic 1 hack. Wasn't there a Mighty hack too?

If you also want to include these, there is the Eggman hack, also the Mecha Sonic hack. I think they are impossible to beat though so maybe not included here?

 

I do wish there was a decent Metal Sonic in Sonic 1 hack. The only one there is right now is that really old one that's nothing more than a sprite hack... and it's not even complete. Maybe Sonic 4 Episode Metal will lend some ideas for Metal Sonic's moveset.

 

I'm looking forward to Mecha Sonic being finished. I know someone here posted saying they were in contact with the developer, asked whether anyone was interested in the hack being continued, passed on the positive response, and reported back that it was in development again. Mind you, that was at least half a year ago, so don't take my post as any indication of its current status.

 

I like to disregard incomplete hacks, or hacks that are just a crap job. If the palette limitations get to a point where the badniks and other objects are nowhere near their original colors, then the hell with it, don't bother. If something is horribly off from a visual standpoint, then it doesn't feel right.

Stealth's Knuckles in Sonic 1 and E-122-Psi's Mighty in Sonic 1 are probably the most perfect in terms of maintaining the original palette for everything, albeit Knuckles is dark red with bluish socks, but still pulls it off and keeps the entire game in its original palette.

Honestly, I just love the job E-122-Psi does with his character hacks. :v:

 

This gives me a chance to ask: Who did the other Knuckles in Sonic 2 hack? AFAIR, he had his normal palette from S&K; however, I can't remember whether much else in the game was affected. Anyway, I'm curious.

 

If you mean the other Knuckles in Sonic 1 hack, I think drx was the first one who ported Knuckles, though he left it in an unfinished stage and Stealth finished it.

 

Well, did that earlier version have a different palette? I know there were two revisions of Stealth's. In any case, I can't remember any other details about the other one, including who it was by / whether it was a separate project. I don't recall it being unfinished, but maybe I just didn't play far enough. So, maybe you're right.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't a more complete version of Metal in S1 released? I seem to remember playing one is all.

 

I have a random (and very basic/badly done) ninja sprite, which I replaced Sonic with in Sonic 1 for a laugh. Only sent it to a couple friends and posted a video on youtube though, and it hardly counts toward anything :P I really like these line of hacks and am interested to see what others crop up.

 

I love it!! Julie-Su looks cute. :v: I wish I could play as her right now.

As for a moveset, do the obvious. Draw up all the running and walking sprites, as well as every other basic sprite necessary.

Since every character has their own special move, when it comes to Julie-Su, she should use her double-barrel proton gun from the comics. However, if that's out of the question, then maybe she could use some type of voltage-based attack. She's a cybernetically enhanced echidna.

Sure thing, Psi.

 

It still surprises me nobody has done a Rouge in Sonic 2 hack yet. There's at least a good start on this sheet, and it fits the style gorgeously.

edit: Even Tikal has an impressive sheet (not sure what sprites are absent from one sheet to the other).

 

I usually consider proper "X in Sonic Y" hacks as the ones that have the characters given custom attacks, and I don't recall any in that one, nor the Rouge hack sadly.

 

Well that's the natural feeling when the character is technically dead, but still it fits well, besides it's about time we got her into hacks.

Anyway I've always liked Character hacks, it's always nice to have a different view on things playing as a different character, also the other hack with Metal Sonic in it is Metal Sonic Overdrive you guys might be thinking about, that's the only one I know where it has Metal Sonic, has Kirby in it too! Though it would be nice to have a hack of Ray, Metal Knuckles, Tails Doll, and Mecha Knuckles (from Sonic Advance) alone one day, Rouge is also a topic pick too. I'd like to do a character hack myself but I haven't tried hacking yet, though whenever I do it would be with characters that haven't been done yet, or characters no one would expect.

 

I once talked to a friend about what she thought about Tikal being in place of Big in Team Rose, and she thought it wasn't really fitting, then she mentioned the other versions of Team Rose, saying that it would be a fine idea if Blaze replaced Big instead. Either Blaze or Vector from that page, I say, though I think Tikal would be a fine idea (even though I can't imagine how she would even join Amy and Cream) since she can glide. I honestly would try to give a bit of variation to the team, but eh, I think that little variety in teams is how Sonic Heroes works.
