Who wants to get angsty tonight!!!

So I was thinking about that cut scene in Forces again when Sonic and Tails unite finally and then proceed to NOT REALLY HUG EACH OTHER!!!

So here I am with a headcanon/AU little thought for why that is.

What if while Eggman and Infinite had Sonic trapped they used the Phantom Ruby to make copies of Tails that would rescue Sonic. But it was only after Sonic hugged the Tails copy would things immediately be terrible. Infinite would do this by either showing Tails suddenly being killed or just having all of it suddenly vanish so Sonic sees he never even left his cell and is still all alone.

So that's why Sonic doesn't full on hug Tails again because he's scared if he does then he'll only find out he never left his cell, the whole rescue was another lie and possibly having to watch Tails die again.

Idk I wanted a full on big ol' hug in that scene and at best it's a light shoulder grasp. So I'm personally fixing it by making it sad. Let me know what ya'll think.

I think my copy of the game is broken they've been doing this for 30 minutes

I think the biggest tragedy of it all is that the only reason Eggman could be vulnerable to Stone is because he knew he was going to die and leave things unsaid otherwise.

The second biggest is how it took so much just to even say that the closest person in his life was his friend. And that he felt he needed to bury that under a joke.

Sonic Forces Mobile roundup: Tech Knight Silver teased, Surge the Tenrec leaked

Several character events have been teased and leaked alongside new patch notes for Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. Here's a quick run-through of them all.

Surge the Tenrec leaked

Take a look at the official SEGA HARDlight render of Surge the Tenrec, spotted within the game's files. Not much is known about her runner specifications and release window as of yet, but more is expected to be revealed later on.

Surge will join Whisper the Wolf and Tangle the Lemur as the one the latest IDW Sonic comic characters to appear in official games media.

Tech Knight Silver officially teased, Mummy Knuckles coming soon

SEGA HARDlight posted two teasers for the upcoming slates of character skins in Speed Battle: the "Tech Knight" skin for Silver the Hedgehog, and the "Mummy" Knuckles the Echidna skin.

All of the aforementioned runners were inadvertently teased by name in a spreadsheet leak from the game's developers in late June. Since then, a spokesperson acknowledged that the slate was "subject to change," but did not rule out the release of the mentioned characters, which all came to fruition as planned.

A spokesperson did not acknowledge the leaked renders of Surge and Tech Knight Silver as of press time, due to a policy that prohibits discussion of datamined content.

New in-game events

Speed Battle players can collect Special cards for Sonic the Werehog and Reaper Metal Sonic during the "Graveyard Smash" event. The mission rewards will alternate between each character in the event, scheduled between 24 to 31 October. The event's bonus box will contain 15 cards for each runner.

There is also a new "Brawl Mode" event to earn guaranteed cards for Sonic the Werehog and Reaper Metal Sonic. Scheduled between 24 October to 7 November, players will be placed into teams between the two runners.

To score points in this Team Vs Event you will need to hold the Brawl token, and carry the Brawl token over the finish line. Deal damage to rivals to steal the Brawl token from them, but if you get hit they'll take it back!

The winners of the event will receive 50 cards for their chosen runner, while the runners-up will receive 25 cards.

The new Halloween-themed events followed the launch event for the Classic Super Sonic runner, timed to coincide with the release of Sonic Superstars. Here's the specifications, in case you missed it:

Patch notes

WE HAVE TO SETTLE THIS...

Random prediction time:

I realized that even though everyone was saying that the end credit appearance of Metal Sonic was done due to Agent Stone creating him (unless that time travel theory has something to do with it, but that's another theory for another time)

But what if it was actually GUN that actually created the multiple Metals? I mean, think about it.

Things weren't resolved with those guys and team Sonic, after Tom was injured, we didn't hear anything about them again, not even anything a throwaway line that said they were on good terms again, to which idk why they would consider on doing that with the reveal of Project Shadow, but also somehow getting hold of their own stash of portal rings for their agents to use (in the Knuckles spin off) and having the former lead scientist of the failed project create the Eclipse Cannon to be used as a power flex for 50 years and did a surprise Pikachu face when the damn thing turned out to be a major laser piss cannon and almost destroyed a planet.

I don't know what they were expecting but cmon, Gerald wasn't making a fucking satellite or something. Not to mention, they may have done something that caused Ivo to possibly be an orphan since he is Gerald's kin and sort of worked for the government for many years....

Not only that, but the current director Rockwell hates those kids guts and thinks of them as evil meddling children, leading her and the team to create them to Metals to try and take them out in a way that doesn't get their hands dirty, and knowing how powerful one of them is when he gets ahold of those 7 handheld rock candies that makes him go blonde. They will definitely see them as a threat since they're now working independently.

Basically, GUN definitely should be a major threat in Sonic 4. The initial trust for them is broken, and its gonna cause some major tension.
