[📝ENG TRANSLATION] We spent a day with the band Joker Out with whom we talked about everything (including the new album)

(Ph: Primož Lukežić)

It's Friday, late in the morning, my colleague Tesa and I met up at the agreed place, in the middle of the industrial zone. On one side there was a parking lot, and on the other an industrial hall and office buildings, a self-service laundromat, a small bar... And a blue metal door. Behind the door is the charming, cozy music studio of the band Joker Out, full of instruments, books and character. When we entered, a friendly voice greeted us from above, and when we looked up, we saw a smiling Jure Maček, the band's drummer, in the gallery.

We climbed the stairs to a platform with a fence, which was obviously the production chill corner of this studio. There were two sofas, a Biedermeier-style wooden table, which surely once graced a bourgeois living room from the 80s, and on the other side there was a table with a computer, an impressive screen and a small mixer. Delighted by the atmosphere and appearance of the studio, we learned from Jure that we're standing in a former garage and that, in addition to musical talent, he also has carpentry skills - because the wooden interior of the studio is actually the work of his hands.

(Ph: Mark Pirc)

Whether you're from this region or not, the media attention that Joker Out has been getting since performing at the Eurovision Song Contest has been hard to ignore. Since 2016, when they formed the band as teenagers, they have won several 'Zlata piščal' ('Golden Whistle') awards in the Artist and Newcomers categories and were nominated for a MAC Award for Best Regional Ex-Yu Rock Band. Their hit 'Carpe Diem' has a more than impressive 23 million streams on Spotify and is the third most popular Eurovision song. I remember when they performed in my town last summer, just a few hundred metres from my house, so I could listen to them with a glass of wine on the terrace. Even though I wasn't standing in front of the stage, I could feel the contagious energy they were spreading, and the singing and cheers of the audience seemed even louder and filled with euphoria.

While I was preparing for the interview, I found out that Joker Out are also popular beyond the borders of our region - at concerts abroad, the audience sings songs with them in the Slovenian language. Furthermore, I discovered that the release of their new music video for the song 'Bluza' was scheduled on the day of our interview. "Yes, exactly," Jure confirmed to me, "let's wait for the others, then we'll watch it together." Soon the other members of the band arrived, some visibly disheveled and sleepless, because the editing of the video lasted until late at night. By the time we all impatiently looked at the monitor, waiting for the new video to be displayed, it had already collected 6,000 views in just a few hours, while the song 'Bluza', since it was released on streaming services, had already reached more than half a million streams. 'Bluza' is one of the singles from the new album 'Souvenir Pop', which is being released today and it represents a sort of a musical diary of the past year and a half of their lives, from the performance at the Eurovision Song Contest onwards.

"The inspiration for the album were the events from the tour, love stories, even global geopolitical topics," laughs Bojan. "All the reflections and deliberations that happened to us in the past year and a half." They say that the new album differs from the previous ones primarily due to the fact that it's sonically much more diverse and richer with instruments.

"Apart from those usual clichés - the whole album is more mature, we've developed the sound and so on - with this album we didn't strictly stick to our own instruments, but rather experimented and explored with different instruments", Kris Guštin, the band's guitarist describes for us. On this album, for the first time, they recorded about half of the songs with Jan on keyboards. "And the lyrics are darker this time, more gloomy than on 'Demoni', so we went one step further there as well." Bojan adds that on this album, for the first time, they recorded songs written in three languages - Slovenian, English and Serbian.

(Ph: Vita Orehek)

We asked him if he could single out any advantages or differences in writing songs in different languages, and he tells us that the language of a song is often dictated by the inspiration itself. "The story already comes with its own language and I don't like changing the songs just because they should be in another language. I don't want to adapt or distort the story as it is." He also discovered that he has different attitudes towards himself in different languages. For example, in Serbian, he says, he can be the most honest when he writes about love, while for the song 'Everybody's Waiting' in English, it's easier for him to be open and honest with himself about unpleasant feelings. On the other hand, it's most natural for him to talk about world and political topics in Slovenian.

The process of creating the album was described to us by bassist Nace Jordan: "The album actually started with the Eurovision song 'Carpe Diem', and after Eurovision and the tour, we moved to London for two months in January this year, looking for new inspiration for the future album. After the tour finished, we spent six weeks in two studios and finished the album with our producer Žarko Pak." Kris, for example, is most looking forward to performing the eighth song from the album 'Mesto duhov' ('City of Ghosts'), because the song contains many unpredictable moments. "I can't wait to hear it and perform it live on stage and see the reactions of the audience who will see it for the first time," he says. "Wow. I haven't even thought about that", Bojan comments. "I have," Nace and Kris answer in unison. We asked them what exactly they thought. "The song is actually a kind of psychosis, where the lyrical subject jumps from a very aggressive and melancholic state to a pompous, almost post-mortem atmosphere," explains Kris. "It seems almost like a funeral song that constantly jumps between the stanza and the chorus, changing the sound image, the tempo, the atmosphere, and, in fact, the whole attitude of the song."

"Not only is it fun to play, but it will also be challenging to practise." When asked which song gave them the most problems, they all unanimously agreed: 'Šta bih ja'. "It's a song that requires a precise fit of all elements, otherwise the song simply doesn't work," Bojan explains. "We couldn't find the formula to arrange all the elements correctly and we were searching for a solution for a long time." "We recorded it more than 130 times", Nace adds. "We're still not sure if it's a slow or dance song," adds Kris, and the guys laugh in agreement. "One or two attempts are usually enough for us - just right", Bojan concludes.

(Ph: Vita Orehek)

When asked about how they developed and changed as artists over time, Bojan smiled and immediately handed the microphone to Jan Peteh: "You can start, keyboard player." Jan, the band's guitarist, continued and explained how, during the recording of one of the songs from the album, 'Everybody's Waiting', they found themselves at a standstill with the arrangement, unsure in which direction they should proceed. But thanks to Žarko's solution, everything fell into place. Jure improvised on the drums on the verse "What a wonderful life", and Jan complemented him by playing electric keyboards. "We connected a Rhodes keyboard to the amplifier and since then, in fact, I've been playing both keyboards and synthesizers in our songs," Jan concludes. "Don't be so modest", Bojan adds and continues: "Actually, it was discovered completely by chance that Jan is also extremely talented on keyboards, which delighted us all. Even our producer Žare was impressed by Jan's approach to playing an electric keyboard, which doesn't happen often. Jan proved to be a great instrumentalist.”

If they could choose with whom to have their dream-collab musical collaboration, with any musician, living or dead, from our region or beyond, Jure would choose Dire Straits. The boys exchanged glances and agreed to choose a band together. At Nace's "Ready, set, go", they say "Buč Kesidi" in unison. "It would be great if we could collaborate with them," adds Kris. And I have to admit that I agree - that would certainly be their dream musical collaboration.

Since we learned all about their plans for the future, we were interested in what they remembered from the past. For example, memories of the craziest concerts that will remain in their memory forever. Jure recalls their performance at Belgrade Beer Festival. Before that, they had already visited Serbia, "but this was the first time after the performance at the Eurovision Song Contest. Even before we went on stage, we heard the crowd chanting "Joker Out" behind us. I couldn't believe what was happening. I think it was one of the best concerts.” Jan continues and highlights the Ruisrock festival in Finland and the Summer Well festival in Romania. "At both of them, we were also greeted with loud chants by an audience of approximately 8,000 people," he tells us, while the other band members nod their heads in confirmation. Kris also adds the performance at Exit festival in Novi Sad and recalls the feeling while watching the footage of that concert: "It's a particularly strange feeling when you see that endless sea of people, which you're not even aware of while you're on stage." "Yes." Jure agrees, "Some concerts really knock you off your feet. That was one of those." Bojan recalls another one: "For me, it was crazy at Wkrwglca in Sežana." The others join in laughing. They start listing who they were performing with that night. "MRFY, VAZZ live, Jet Black Diamonds... there were several Slovenian performers who we met again and the audience was really warm", Bojan recalls. "I felt like I was at one of those nostalgic college parties from the 80s that our parents used to tell us about."

We finally got to the topic of fans, and as soon as we asked if they could share any interesting or crazy fan-related stories with us, the guys went quiet and thoughtful. "People ask this all the time, and we still don't have the right answer," Kris notes, which prompts laughter from the others. We learn that they're always met by fans at the airport in Finland, where they have quite a large fanbase, and how much that means to them. Then, completely casually, they mentioned the voodoo dolls they had received as gifts. Tesa and I just looked at each other, we had to find out more. "They made dolls of all the band members in our Eurovision outfits. We actually got them twice, but they were only presented as voodoo dolls the first time," Kris explains with a laugh. Some band members still keep their dolls safe at home, while Kris, for example, doesn't even know where his is.

While they tell us about events from the concerts, like the one where Bojan's jacket was stolen or where they had a backstage in the middle of the forest marked only by tape around the trees, Tesa and I wonder if there is anything that fans still don't know about the band. There's silence again, and I can almost see them jogging their memories with serious expressions. Then they remember - they don't like making music videos.

Namely, it always happens by chance that they shoot music videos in winter, and in rooms without heating. Or, let's say, the fact that Kris has a talent for finding trashy music, or as Bojan calls him - "the best music editor for trashy music". Surely even the most loyal fans don't know that if they were to choose a name now, it definitely wouldn't be Joker Out. Some members of the band don't like the name at all, and Kris adds that it calms him down that his father doesn't like his band's name either, so they almost comfort each other by listing bands they know have a similar story with the name. Speaking of the name of the band itself, we were interested in how the name Joker Out came about. Kris starts the story and explains that it all started in a group chat where everyone actually met, and of course, at some point, like every band, they needed a name. Someone suggested the word "Joker". Since that word was not enough, they also added "Out". The proposal received three likes and the name stuck. Bojan continues: "I remember we were thinking then - if Ota Roš says our name in Pop In and if it sounds good, then it's the right name."

(Photo: Vita Orehek)

Through talking and evoking memories, we've gone way back, to the time before Joker Out was created. At the age of eleven, Bojan was in his first band called No Name, which lasted only a few weeks and played only one song, 'Tears in Heaven'. After that, he was in the band Apokalipsa, which disbanded when, as he says, he "stole" Jan and Nace¹ from other bands, and that's how Joker Out was born.

¹There has been a mistake in the original article. This should say: “Bojan "stole" Jan and Kris from other bands”, not Nace as originally mentioned.

If they had to single out their favourite or most important moment in their entire career, Jan would choose their first concert at Cvetličarna, because it seemed to him that it was then that he felt the turning point in the band's recognition for the first time. It was their first big solo concert, two in a row, both sold out. "Even if we played at Madison Square Garden now, I don't know if it would be as big a step forward as it was then. I don't think I'll ever experience that kind of adrenaline again." Nace points out that the breakthrough moment for him was the concert in Dublin, when they performed abroad for the first time and the audience sang the lyrics along with them. Jure, on the other hand, says that he will never forget the moment of entering the Eurovision final, when everyone sat together on the couch and nervously waited for the result. There was only one spot left when they were announced as finalists and the name Joker Out appeared on the screen.

Kris concludes that he could hardly single out just one moment, because the whole of the year 2023, along with the experience of Eurovision and the European tour, was the best year of his life. Bojan follows up on Jan's words and says that the concert in Cvetličarna was also a turning point for him: "I have never felt such sincere and pure happiness as after that concert, when I cried continuously for at least 45 minutes. I simply broke down under the weight of all the emotions; all the people I love the most were there with me and then, maybe for the first and last time, I felt like the best thing in my life had just happened. Then I also announced a concert at Stožice, which really came true."

(Photo: Vita Orehek)

I can't help but try to imagine what they were like almost ten years ago when they formed the band, thinking about what they wanted to play and what messages their lyrics would convey. Whenever I have the chance to look at young people full of enthusiasm, who really love what they do, I root for them inside. And that is even more powerful when I see how much they have succeeded. There's no doubt that Joker Out have come a long way, and who knows, maybe a very difficult way to get to where they are today. They're currently the most popular Slovenian band, whose songs are sung by fans all over Europe, posting covers of their hits or interpretations of their songs in their own languages on TikTok. If there's anything left of those teenagers, it's the positive energy between them, mutual jokes, contagious laughter and sincere friendship.

Also, they've kept that modesty which you can feel when they talk about their successes and milestones in their careers and the respect they have for each other and for their work. At the same time, I can't help but imagine where else their musical path will take them. With their music and visual presence, they are undoubtedly the messengers of their generation, and the feeling that great milestones, successes and endeavors are ahead of them is almost palpable. Therefore, I can only congratulate the guys on all their achievements and the new album and wish them a big – Carpe Diem!

YET MORE SONIC THEORIES/RAMBLINGS!

So I've seen this piece of early concept art from the 2005 Shadow game floating around, and it's really piqued my interest.

This piece seemingly depicts Gerald Robotnik as a major antagonist alongside his grandson Eggman, rather than the Black Arms aliens.

We also see that Gerald isn't wearing his signature glasses and seems to have a metal plate grafted to his head, possibly alluding to how he might have survived his apparent execution at the hands of G.U.N.

In the scenario provided by this early concept, we would essentially have two "Robotnik's" running around: Eggman, a bombastic, childish megalomaniac, and Gerald, a more reserved, sinister madman out to destroy the earth rather than conquer it.

Now why does this setup sound so eerily familiar?

Because, yes, we got basically that in Sonic Rush, with the introduction of Dr. Eggman's twisted doppelganger Eggman Nega.

It should be noted that Gerald and Nega have certain similarities, most obviously their greying mustaches and shared resemblance to Eggman, but Nega, much like Gerald at the end of his life, is also someone who has descended into madness and has deeply sinister intentions, up to and including the destruction of the world.

So yeah, my theory is that the concept of Eggman Nega evolved from this early idea of Gerald somehow being revived to wreak havoc in the modern day, and this recently uncovered piece of concept art could be a missing link of sorts between the 2005 Shadow game and Sonic Rush.

The kicker here is that both games were in development around the same time. They even released in the same month! On the same day even!

I just can't get this idea out of my head, and I keep thinking about all of the interesting character interactions that scenario would provide! I would very much love to see how both Shadow and Eggman would confront Gerald, a man who was once so beloved by both characters in their own way, after he's fallen so far into despair and vengeance-fueled madness.

Almost makes the character of Eggman Nega feel a little underwhelming in hindsight, like a safer, more sanitized version of the revived Gerald concept.

But could this also mean that Gerald would have stuck around to become a reoccurring antagonist? Was the plot of Sonic Rush originally going to be a follow-up to the Shadow game, with Eggman joining forces with Gerald?? Maybe not, considering both games were released simultaneously. But still interesting to think about.

That said, I'm ultimately glad they went in a different direction with the Shadow game and introduced Shadow's freaky alien heritage. And yet I'm still so fascinated by what might have been. Ah well.

Why Sonic Prime Shouldn’t Be Canon

There will be 0 disrespect to anyone involved in this post.

Introduction

Think whatever you want to think and make your own conclusions after reading this. Prime is an entertaining show. This is only for whoever wonders why I talk about this show a certain way. Yes, the consistency in the franchise is already shattered to pieces, (no pun intended) but the excuse implies the mistakes in the past shouldn’t be improved upon. Making things worst doesn’t fix anything. Also, give the franchise a little credit, there’s more obvious reasons to believe this show isn’t canon then stuff in the games and IDW.

Why Are We Told Prime Is Canon

1. The writer for the games/comics and the director stated Prime was canon. I assume in order to sell the show and make it seem more important than it is. That’s not even an insult because so far, Prime impacts nothing in canon.

Ian Flynn: “It doesn’t matter, b/c Prime wipes itself out. It’s something after Advance 3, but otherwise, it’s moot. I didn’t want to sour anyone’s expectations or investment by spoiling how Prime resolves, that’s all. If you enjoyed it, awesom. Savor it. If you didn’t, then you can safely ignore it. Simple as that.”

2. While I don’t remember who said this, it’s also been stated Prime went through changes. It was originally meant to be written as its own thing and hilariously ended up feeling less canon because of this change. Which you’ll probably notice in a bit. Long story short Sonic Prime, like the movies and shows, is a disposable adaptation you can love or hate.

3. Aside from Sonic and Shadow, you aren’t able to spend enough time with the OG cast or world, so you’d need to know and understand them outside of Prime. Which debatably isn’t enough, but that’s a can of worms I feel plenty have already opened up, so I’ll only simplify it later. In the end, the show never gets time to establish itself in the OG world. Which has a terrible impact on the writing, but let’s move on.

Side Note: No, the shatterverse crew don’t count in my opinion. While they are similar to the OGs they are still their own characters with separate personalities and issues in their own worlds. They are similar, but not the same.

Evidence

Prime feels more like an origin story without the continuity of the games.

Example 1: Green Hill is Sonic and his friend’s home. Despite the games and IDW have them live everywhere that isn’t Green Hill. Classic timeline included. They barely talk about the place. I recommend watching “Where The Heck Does Sonic Live?” on YouTube. If you want the short of it, I’ll explain a few points and add my own as well.

Here’s most of the different homes these characters lived in.

Station Square, the Mystic Ruins, Emerald Town, and others use to be homes they stayed in and they’re never mentioned. It’s like they put the modern cast into the classic timeline. Which still had them not live in Green Hill. Heck, Shadow, Rouge, and Big are shown in Green Hill too and they didn’t even exist during the classic era.

This is how Green Hill is seen in IDW.

Sure looks like people use to live in this place. Sarcasm aside, Green Hill either wasn’t special enough for them to keep living in or they never lived there before and this was conjured up because Green Hill is constantly used in the games.

Even people who knows the bare minimum about Sonic lore would understand how baloney this is. Especially since Sonic and the gang has been established to be found in other places. Which is shown in the Origin cutscenes. They don’t clarify in the show who exactly lives in Green Hill and who doesn’t. They treat it like everyone’s home. Shows how much we know about these characters within Sonic Prime, doesn’t it?

Example 2: No other group of Sonic characters, locations, or worlds are ever mentioned/referenced. In Prime the blue blur meeting Chaos!Sonic should’ve reminded him of Metal!Sonic, but he talks as if he’s never seen another version of himself in his life. “Is that a… knock off me?” The lack of robot knowledge in this show is crazy when given more errors.

“Robots without flickies? Now that’s new.” I believe everyone knows how false this line is. Also, Orbot and Cubot doesn’t exist until Colors. (though Orbot is in Unleashed) Which is a problem because Prime is suppose to take place directly after Advanced. Which had several games before Colors. Where they didn’t exist.

Example 3: The OG cast though similar, still have their differences.

Big: He’s treated like a core member of the team when he’s not in anything else. Bro doesn’t even get much to do or say at all. He’s just there for the most part.

Knuckles: He meets Sonic in a completely different setting then in actual canon and doesn’t seem to live on Angel Island for some reason. At least not by what was shown.

Eggman: Still relatively fine, but teaming up with anyone even himself never turns out well. He usually doesn’t care for sharing his spotlight.

Rouge: Same thing as Big besides Dream Team. In the games/comics she usually does her own thing. And is also more sneaky and unpredictable while Prime shows off her more leadership side. She’s kind of half and half in the same to different category.

Tails: Surprisingly more closed off then usual and almost seems to switch sides with Sonic in the personality department. Emotionally that is.

Amy: She’s more of a motherly figure than anything else. Amy’s bird friend is pink instead of blue like in SA1. They also treat it like it’s always been with her but hasn’t. She’s also incredibly calm and collected compared to how she was during the 2000s. The time the Advance games where coming out. She was written pretty differently to say the least.

Not to mention one line in the entire show is the only indication of Amy’s crush on Sonic. It was implied not shown.

Sonic: He’s almost treated as an amalgamation of different variations before him. Except it’s his first time getting into an issue he isn’t ready to handle. Because he caused it. On top of that, this guy also carries most of his friends emotional traits. Amys’ excitement, Tails’ saddens, and Knuckles’ anger. Here’s why.

Prime!Sonic seems to be naturally affectionate then in canon since he hugs almost everyone in it. He’s also more emotionally triggered, childish, and inexperience while Game!Sonic isn’t. And has never been shown to be either. Not even in the IDW comics or games with Classic!Sonic. A younger version of him. Don’t get me started on the differences to the 2000 games like Advanced. Game!Sonic then was more introverted while Prime!Sonic is very extroverted. He also panics a bunch. As if he’s not use to terrible things happening frequently.

He can be very wimpy and whiny when it comes to confrontations. Which was never a thing before in any other media. At least not to the point where he’s begging and pleading to people over and over again. I’ll even admit this Sonic isn’t the smartest either. He’s the Sonic you’d be the most convinced to believe is a teenage boy. Besides Movie!Sonic.

Of course Prime!Sonic is still Sonic, but he’s as much of a Sonic as every other version of him. He’s not the same guy who use to not be a fan of hugs. Who can deal with atrocities without freaking out once. The character who hasn’t even officially cried up to this point. Who is just now starting to open up and is still having trouble with it. The silly hedgehog isn’t too out of character but is enough to not be called the same character. Sure, Sonic’s characterization is inconsistent in the games, but I’d say the 2010s is less out of character and more one noted. He at least carries these traits even if not written well.

- The “sentimental” line in S1 Ep6 is one of the few out of character things he says. Even if the blue blur thought this, he’d never say it out loud.

Shadow: He’s the best written character in the show. Not to mention the most accurate to how he is in canon. Even compared to some of the games and comics. He’s the true MVP of Sonic Prime and has the most common sense. I only hate how he’s literally pushed to the curve in every season. And how Shadow’s backstory is never referenced. Only implied by Sonic screaming his name when he plummets to his doom. But I’d argue that’s more so because Shadow is the last person left who isn’t implied to be dead. Sure, it reminds people of SA2, but that’s all it really is. A reminder not a direct reference.

I will clarify I don’t dislike the show for being different. I dislike the show calling itself canon despite it’s differences.

Conclusion

I know Prime “wipes itself out” but the original world doesn’t have the same continuity of the games either. The established world and lore in Prime is barely connected to the Games due to the writing, so wiping the shatterverse out doesn’t help. These may be small details but if you’re a person who might be interested in getting into the fandom it becomes small details that makes big differences.

I’m not saying if you think the show is canon you’re wrong. Actually you are 100% correct. It’s been confirmed multiple times and the deed was already done. I just don't think it should be. Does it really matter? It depends on what you think. Is Sonic Prime being canon a bad thing? I’d say yes and no. While I don’t think it was the best move, as long as Sonic Prime exists on its own, there’s nothing to worry about. Prime being canon isn’t a crime. It just makes no sense. I’ll leave it at that.

Stay Creative! 💜

Prisoners of War, the Effects of Solitary Confinement, and Sonic the Hedgehog

Remember when Sonic was a prisoner of war? Well turns out, that can damage your brain in some pretty awful ways (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). It’s been revealed in several studies that being a POW can cause schizophrenic disorders, anxiety, debility, etc.

But, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s talk about the torture that happened in those six months.

Sonic Forces is said by many fans to employ the term “torture” loosely, that simply being confined to an empty room for an extended period of time (six months in this case) is no warrant for the term. While yes, the game certainly does not address the event properly, making it seem as if this circumstance is no big deal, in reality, being confined to an empty room with no human contact is what is defined as “solitary confinement”, a punishment becoming more and more infamous for its adverse effects on those it is inflicted onto.

The various consequences of solitary confinement on a person’s psyche go as follows (Stuart Grassian, Psychiatric Effects of Solitary Confinement):

-Hyperresponsivity to external stimuli, including ordinary things such as the sound of plumbing in another room.

-Perceptual distortions, illusions, and hallucinations, mostly auditory, but may be visual depending on the individual

-Panic attacks

-Difficulties with thinking, Concentration, and Memory

-Intrusive thoughts, typically those of violence against captors

-Paranoia

-Lack of impulse control

-Delirium

Furthermore, the effects and issues with solitary confinement are so severe, that a UN human rights expert stated that solitary confinement for more than 15 days has every right to be labeled as psychological torture (https//www.ohchr.org).

I’ll drop a bit of the professional tone because, well, this is Tumblr, but on with the hedgehog.

As shown here, Sonic has cuffs around both his wrists and ankles. In all honesty, this is even worse than being locked up in a small room. All proper movement for him was restricted. There was no proper stimuli around him, he was locked in a metal prison. Once again, this was for six months. Sonic already struggles with staying still, he feels the need to run most constantly. Being restricted for that long could not have been good for him.

The thing is, you don’t even have to stretch to say that Sonic was tortured, because solitary confinement is torture. Perhaps it would explain why he didn’t give Tails a proper hug upon his return. After all those months with no proper contact, it might have been too much for him at the moment.

“Yawnfest” is nowhere near the proper term to describe these conditions. The proper term is said in the game itself: “torture”.

Maybe this was why Infinite said Sonic “reeked of fear”. Sure, it could easily be interpreted as infinite stroking his massive fucking ego, but what if Sonic truely was afraid? Not only was he defeated (easily) by him, but also Infinite locked him in solitary confinement (ie: torture) for six months.

You don’t have to come up with a bunch of stuff not shown on screen to feed your angst needs (I mean, if you want to, all power to you). You’ve got all the ingredients for a delicious angst-pie right here.

Edit: Just realized that solitary confinement and torture were said as two separate thoughts in the original dialogue. Jesus fucking Christ.

#sonic the hedgehog #tails the fox #miles tails prower #sonic forces #infinite the jackal #sonic angst #Why say torture if you’re not gonna delve into it man #Like c’mon #Man I hope a fanfic writer reads this and gets inspired or something I need more fanfics

SilverHawks (Thundercats IN SPAAAAAACE!!!!!!)

[All images are owned by Rankin/Bass Warner Bros-Discovery and Kenner Hasbro. Still too poor to sue]

youtube

(Thanks to Warner Bros. Entertainment)

Following the success of Thundercats’s first season, Rankin-Bass decided to do a second series. This one would be set in deep space. They brought most of the voice cast from Thundercats to do the voices for the new show.

Stop me if this sounds familiar: A group of warriors travel millions of light years from their home world. In their new home, they battle a group of semi-competent aliens led by a powerful shape-changing overlord.

The SilverHawks all became cyborgs (the tagline for the series and action figure line (because you KNOW they had to tie toys into this somehow) is “Partly metal, Partly real” Isn’t metal real? What exactly is the part that’s imaginary?) to withstand the stress of traveling millions of light years (and the ability to survive in space without any sort of pressurized suit or breathing apparatus) to their base (HawkHaven) in the Galaxy of Limbo.

The SilverHawks’ commander is known as Stargazer, who is a grizzled veteran basically counting the days until retirement. He rarely leaves HawkHaven, preferring to let the younger SilverHawks do the dangerous stuff.

Stargazer’s field commander is Quicksilver, a former special forces commander who is a skilled tactician.

Bluegrass Is second in command and the only field agent who doesn’t have underarm foils and boot jets that allow the SilverHawks to fly without a ship. However, he is the chief pilot of their ship, the Miraj.

Obviously, he fancies himself a country musician. His guitar is also a sonic weapon.

Twins Steelheart (left) and Steelwill are the powerhouses of the team and have an empathic bond.

Finally, we have the Copper Kidd, the only non-human of the team. Originating from the Planet of the Mimes, the Kidd can only speak in chirps and whistles, though he has been known to use a voice synthesizer at times.

That’s the main roster of SilverHawks (there are others, but they aren’t around for more than a handful of episodes) Now on to the group the SilverHawks traveled millions of light years to deal with: the Mob.

[NOTE: The Mob has no issue surviving in deep space without environment suits or breathable air as well. It’s almost as if the writers and/or animators had no idea how the vacuum of space works]

The leader of the Mob is Mon*Star, who escaped a penal colony at the beginning of the series (which was why Stargazer requested the SilverHawks in the first place)

When bathed in the light of the Moon*Star, his size and strength increases and he gains armor plating.

His minions include…

Every evil leader needs a toadie, and Mon*Star’s is Yes-Man (a rather appropriate name) He pretty much exists to tell Mon*Star what a great leader he is.

Hardware is the Mob’s weapon specialist and a mechanical savant when it comes to things that go bang, zap, or boom.

Melodia (the only female in the Mob) is the Mob’s answer to Bluegrass (each sold separately) and carries a combat key-tar she calls her “boom box” (Yeah, this was definitely made in the 80s)

Windhammer has the ability to control weather (even in space, where there’s no atmosphere. See my earlier comment about the animators and writers)

Mo-Lec-U-Lar is a shapeshifter that serves as the Mob’s infiltration specialist. He is able to change his structure to mimic the appearance of anyone, or even turn invisible.

Buzz-Saw is a killer robot that can use the many saw blades covering its body as projectiles.

The plots are fairly standard weekday afternoon “See how cool the show is? Tell your parents to buy the toys and have your own adventures!” fare: Mon*Star and his Mob cause trouble, and it’s up to the SilverHawks to stop them!

At the end of each episode, in lieu of a moral (because children's programming needed to have some educational value), the Copper Kidd is learning to be a pilot from Bluegrass. They never seem to do any actual flying, but Bluegrass constantly grills the Kidd about the bodies of Earth’s solar system (why? They’re in the Limbo Galaxy millions of light years from Earth!)

If you would like to see an episode reviewed, let me know!

Note

Your chat with wood reminded me, this is something that I noticed, but fans and none fans REALLY love to see Sonic get his ass kicked

Like I've noticed this from old 2000s fan stuff, they aggressively make Sonic egotistical and obnoxious, then immediately want to punk him

It's like they're aware those qualities are bad, but then misapply it to actual canon games Sonic. This includes ignoring him actually being a powerhouse. Fucker rips off metal from a military plane, and survives falling from massive heights and flung across mountains

It's ironic since his actual most obnoxious in game would be Colors Wii for boss dialogue, but that's still mild compared to Archie or fan parody (not to mention Sonic notably only is explicitly rude to villains). This also applies to char relations

They'll act like Metal is supposed to be a formiddable threat when...in canon practice, fuck no. Metal is a jobber

Because these perceptions are beyond infesting due to meme culture, none fans are incorrectly thinking "yeah he's an egotistical dick" like reg fans

So the idea of Sonic beating Shadow or Knux 1on1? They'll be pissed! Regardless of actual canon

Sidenote: remembered seeing someone be sad that "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog" wasn't used much in 2010s, then miss the point on why. This is literally cuz there was no scenario it'd be appropriate (he doesn't meet a new neutral person besides Rookie, and that was a pressing situation of escaping)

To be fair, Sonic does suffer a lot of abuse in canon. I used to say that knocking Shadow out to advance the plot was a common plot point, but it might be fair to say that knocking Sonic out has become a series cliché at this point as well.

Usually it's done to establish the threat du jour as srs bsns. To "yes, and" that last point, the trope cannot work without the baseline assumption that Sonic is strong:

In several instances you can see Sonic wavering on the edge of unconsciousness and still struggling to stand. bro's got that fighting spirit The important part is that he always gets back up no matter what.

What an inspiring message! Unlike the Gary-Stu folks usually try to portray him as, Sonic has never been completely infallible. You don't need to be invincible; you just need to pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and keep trying.

Not to turn this into another culture war discussion, ofc, but I really feel as though folks who dismiss Games!Sonic as some perfect Gary-Stu who never suffers are dismissing the entire crux of the character.

Games!Sonic suffers all the time. He gets beaten; he has doubts; he makes mistakes. He just doesn't let setbacks get him down for long. He's an inspiration, an ideal to strive toward, rather than someone who is supposed to be #relatable.

---

They'll act like Metal is supposed to be a formiddable threat when...in canon practice, fuck no. Metal is a jobber

Kind of? Depends. Without any bells or whistles, Metal Sonic tends to blow his fuse on charged attacks and burn out pretty quickly.

He also admits he transformed his body with his own two hands because he could never seem to defeat Sonic. Sonic mocks the fact that he had to turn into a monster just to get a leg up over him:

However, he's not nearly as much of a jobber as IDW portrays him when Surge and Kit fry his circuits. There's no way that tactic should have worked; Metal is both waterproof and can be revived with large amounts of electricity.

The other half of this Spicy Meatball Take(tm) that fandom tends to struggle with is "Metal doesn't have an existential crisis, and it's illogical for him to have one if he believes himself to be the real Sonic."

Even when he's ranting in the Metal Madness and Overlord fights, his motives are fairly easy to understand as ego. He has one (1) line about no longer "being afraid," but it's so nothingburger compared to his other bluster about building a robot kingdom and lacks so much context (when, exactly, was Metal shown being afraid...?) that we can easily discard it. It's clear from the surrounding lines that Metal is just bullshitting because he's butthurt that he can never defeat Sonic. Why do you think Sonic rubs it in his face at the end of the game? lol

I'm almost convinced Iizuka imported his existential character arc from the OVA and forgot that it doesn't suit Games!Metal's character.

Metal mimicking Sonic's finger wag a grand total of once in Sonic CD (funny; never see anyone argue that Metal bullying animals mimics Sonic's mannerisms) doesn't inherently mean he believes himself to be the real Sonic. It just means Eggman programmed him to do so, for whatever reason.

Furthermore, if he genuinely believed he was the real Sonic, then he shouldn't have that much self-doubt to begin with. At least when Shadow got Sonic's goat in SA2, it was because he framed him and got the military on his ass. Shadow's interference came with concrete consequences that directly affected Sonic. What has Sonic done to threaten Metal's sense of identity, other than exist?

Why does a being that believes itself to be the "real" Sonic want to build a robot kingdom? A being that looks at itself in the mirror and says "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog" also turns around and says "Dictatorship under my robotic thumb is good, actually"?

There's also the paradox of "Why would a 'real' Sonic ever serve Eggman?" He wouldn't. Metal is bound by his programming because he's a robot. The implication that Eggman curtails his free will should further cement his status as Walking Toaster.

---

Because these perceptions are beyond infesting due to meme culture, none fans are incorrectly thinking "yeah he's an egotistical dick" like reg fans

People paint Games!Sonic as a boring Gary-Stu because his dickery isn't as pronounced as it is in Archie. Which is funny because Games!Sonic could stand to be a bit more sensitive, all things considered.

You need only look at his treatment of Knuckles in the Adventure era for proof:

Sonic parries Knuckles' "What about you?" with an insult.

Sonic sweet-talks Knuckles into searching for the keys even though he doesn't want to. Maybe because of the ghosts roaming about. They got Larry, after all.

Deeper's lyrics also suggest that Knuckles wishes Sonic were a little more considerate of his plight by having him imagine a scenario where Sonic acknowledges how important the Master Emerald is to Knuckles and offers to help him find it:

lol "wouldn't of." tfw the editors are asleep at the wheel

Note how surprised Knuckles looks here. Clearly this isn't something he expected Sonic to say. And before anyone is inclined to think Knuckles was the only one, Sonic's insensitivity would also annoy Tails and Amy on occasion:

---

So the idea of Sonic beating Shadow or Knux 1on1? They'll be pissed! Regardless of actual canon

Sonic kills demigods on a regular basis and pulled off Chaos Control so well that it surprised Shadow. Why is it a surprise that he probably could kick their asses lol.

---

tfw you complain about no "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog" when "long time no see" is right there

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SONIC MOVIE 3 (if you haven’t seen it yet look away now)

Here are my thoughts on the movie:

Okay so that opening was PERFECTION!! I absolutely love how they immediately hit us with the Maria flashbacks, this film didn’t pull any punches with Shadow and Maria’s relationship (and especially the tragedy)

Tom and Sonic visiting the old cave melted my heart. I’m very glad they mentioned Sonic loosing Longclaw again, I was slightly worried they weren’t going to fully address it. I especially love how they re-address it later in the film to help Sonic connect with Shadow, because both of them have experienced loss.

I completely lost my mind when Sonic said “Talk about a low budget flight, no food or movies! We’re outta here!!” I wasn’t expecting that line to be included but HOLY SHIT HE SAID THE THING!!! I swear I almost did the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the screen meme in the cinema 🫵

I wasn’t expecting to see Shadow watch telenovelas, but here we are

FUCKING CALLED IT!!! Tom got hurt by Shadow!! That entire scene of Sonic shaking Tom’s unconscious body, and Shadow having flashbacks to Maria’s death, I loved it!! It was an especially great way to show Shadow beginning to realize that what he’s doing is wrong, that the path of vengeance only leads to more pain.

SPEAKING OF PAIN—

I almost cried when they showed Shadow and Maria together. It made my heart hurt so much, they really did a good job hitting all of us in the feels and laying it on thick with the tragedy. They were so happy together! Seeing Shadow smiling, dancing, just having fun with Maria, only to have it all taken away…

I’m not sure how I feel yet about the changes they made to the backstory. I definitely think they fit for the movie universe, but some of it caught me off guard. Shadow being an alien instead of man-made, and erasing Maria’s illness. Idk, I think it makes sense for this universe but I’m unsure if I completely like the changes or not :/ (they’re definitely not bad, just different)

Okay but that scene of Shadow and Sonic on the moon just talking it out, connecting, sharing their pain, it was all perfect. Sonic bringing up the fact that he lost Longclaw, him admitting that the pain never goes away, but holding onto pain isn’t the answer, you need to hold onto the happiness you did have. When Shadow said that line “Even when the star is gone, the light still shines” or something along those lines genuinely made me shed a tear…

LIVE AND LEARN!!! (I almost screamed when they started playing that)

Also, as a major Sonadow shipper….can I just say that the sequence of Super Shadow and Super Sonic working together was super fucking gay. I’m sorry, but it’s true (they’re boyfriends your honor) ❤️💙

(I kinda think Shadow is still alive, but I’m not sure. He survived Maria getting blown up, so idk if that means he’s explosion proof but maybe 🤔)

Oh yeah also….WTF HAPPENED TO THE MASTER EMERALD?! After Sonic and Shadow finish using it we never see the chaos emeralds again! Did they fall to earth?! Did the ones Shadow use get blown up?! I imagine not. We never see Knuckles say anything, nor any of the characters for that matter. Maybe that’s a problem for the next film *shrugs*

Yes, they’re making Sonic 4. I wasn’t entirely expecting them to give us two characters instead of one like they did for the last two movies. I had honestly placed my bets on Amy being revealed and lo and behold, I was right!!(ngl I knew Silver was a long shot but I can dream). Metal Sonic as well is pretty exciting! No clue who would’ve built him since it seems Robotnik/Eggman is DEAD dead fr this time. Maybe Stone? I’m not sure tho. The fact that there were multiple Metal Sonic’s has me thinking the big bad of Sonic 4 is gonna use an army of them, which is very cool!

I just…..this movie is everything I wanted and more. It was genuinely worth the wait. I think that’s all I wanted to say in this post so uh…bye! 👋

Edit: I just found out there was a second post credits scene and I missed seeing it 💀

Uhhhhhhhhh yeah so that’s what I get for not watching all the credits. Make sure to stick around until it’s well and truly over. Should I just like look it up or…..?

Edit 2: I just googled the after credits scene and watched it. Yippee!! Shadow is alive! (Figured that was the case but wasn’t expecting them to confirm it)

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic movie 3 #sonic movie 3 spoilers #sonic movie #sonic movie spoilers #please go watch the movie before you read this #there are spoilers abound #you have been warned

gonna mention some of our sonics most important/active alters rq

sonic's polyfragmented & has well over a hundred alters so we're just mentioning the ones we have names / ideas for.

also scourge is in here. Is scourge also a guy seperate from sonic? we may never know... (the answer is literally just yes)

Pilot (he/him, neos?)

what they do: fuck all ; took away all of sonic's knowledge and muscle memory abt the tornado so he could fly it.

front tells: has a special salute he offers to everyone - two fingers on his temple, then finger-guns

relationship w/ others: when sonic realized hes the reason it suddenly started sucking at piloting the tornado, it fought him for DAYS. the two are on good terms now but sonic's still salty about the whole thing

description: dark brown fox. fur's only a little lighter than sonic's original quill/fur color

Survival (none)

what they do: keeps the body calm & focused when thrown into a survival/panic state ; fragment

front tells: acts prettymuch just like a hedgehog. snuffl snuffl

relationship w/ others: n/a

description: classic sonic but hes covered in mud

Protection (none)

what they do: split specifically to keep tails safe if sonic shut down during a battle, now helps everyone - including sonic ; fragment

front tells: completely nonverbal ; one-track mind worse than sonic's

relationship w/ others: n/a

description: classic sonic but hes covered in wounds :[

Scourge (it/he)

what they do: one-up sonic at every opportunity. obviously

front tells: usually him screaming "SCOURGE IS BACK, BABY!!!"

relationship w/ others: everyone either hates or loves him ; outside the body, amy thinks he sucks but is glad he's less sexist now, tails used to think he's scary but now just thinks he's kinda lame, and knux... has opinions.

description: YOU KNOW IT BABY!!!!

Cog (they/it)

what they do: exist. tries to keep the body away from drugs

front tells: higher-pitched voice, talks more like AoSTH / classic sonic; uses contact lenses that look like metal sonic's eyes

relationship w/ others: a lot of people jokingly hate em but most r kinda worried for em ; outside, theyre best friends with basically all badniks (though they have a somewhat rocky friendship with omega) and consider them to be its siblings

description: thinner sonic, wilting quills and its bones are painted chrome.

Mary-Ann (they/them)

what they do: split to give tails familial affection when sonic got burnt out, & later got the Secondary Task of avoiding like. CPS and stuff. ; now that they dont have to do that they get to just chill

front tells: softer tone of voice, body language is completely different and a lot slower

relationship w/ others: sonic feels bad abt pushing so much onto her even though it wasnt his fault or choice. theyre chill tho ; outside, they have a kinda-friendship with shadow since theyre the one who introduced him to the fact sonic's a system. tails loves them, and even outside of their purpose they care abt him too

description: porcupine mobian. looks a little more like an irl animal

Fleet (he/it/xe)

what they do: anger/rage/fear holder, used to be a fragment ; fronts whenever sonic goes super out of stress, or if he gets too upset when using the chaos emeralds to go super

front tells: extremely obvious. totally different way of speaking, maine/british accent (maine accent it picked up somewhere, british accent is the body's default); when fronting while super bc of the chaos emeralds, they morph him into what he looks like in headspace, but if he's just fronting due to stress all that changes is his quills are Wayyyyy messier. hard to miss him!

relationship w/ others: sonic tried to force him into permanent dormancy for years, which didnt work and caused him to take over the body for a few weeks ; he probably did meet ebony and pyjamas, both of whom unfortunately misunderstood his entire Him and hurt him a lot, but they managed to make up after xe worked thinks out with sonic and theyre rlly close friends now :]

description: it is fleetway :]

Prime (he/it)

what they do: secondary host

front tells: way, WAY more physically and verbally affectionate towards his friends; more open (obvious) about his emotions, doesnt bother hiding them as much (especially when he thinks it might be funny); a little more over the top with everything, especially his mannerisms - many of which he picked up directly from eggman

relationship with others: GREAT friends with pilot, who sorta acts like his tails when his tails isnt. yk. available (busy boy!!!). NOT FRIENDS WITH SONIC they do NOT get along :[ ; loves tails, LOVES amy, LOVES!!! KNUCKLES!!! LOVES SHADOW!!!! he loves ALL of his friends and he's gonna make it THEIR PROBLEM!!!<333

description: prime sonic! so just sort of different-looking regular sonic. he calls himself prime bc hes convinced hes the first sonic, and is totally smug abt maybe having a single memory earlier than sonic the other one.

Sonic (he/it)

what they do: primary host

front tells: it's sonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; rlly easy to tell when hes fronting again after a while bc he immediately picks up from the last convo you had w him (if he remembers) or challenges you to a race (if he doesnt)

relationships w/ others: VERY rocky. didnt accept he was a system for a while - he knew he was one since before the concept was given the name it has now but he was iffy on the whole "other people in his brain" thing and dealt with it HORRIBLY. this is a horrible combination of STC and IDW sonic so you know he was just being a huge inconsiderate jerk to everyone for YEARS. his reaction to the chaos emeralds giving a bunch of his alters their own bodies was fear and disgust instead of joy or even vague curiosity; even though he's repairing his relationships with everyone and going to therapy and getting support from his friends and allat, he still doesnt really like just... not having access to his body all the time. he doesnt like not being at front, it feels Bad, esp. when he misses big important dates. sorry man you got hit with the reverse curse idk what to tell you

description: ITS SONIC!!!

YUP THATS LITERALLY ALL I HAVE FOR NOW!!!

maybe ill make some more stuff with these guys and more specific alters but ive had this sitting in my drafts for like a month now so . it needs to be posted 👍

thinking about gijinka!metal sonic again. bc like in a humanisation she’d be like the biological kid of eggman right? and that’s giving me such brainrot. the tl;dr is that she was born through surrogacy to serve as eggman's heir when he dies and basically she was raised to be eggman 2 (her deadname is literally ivo jr) and despite growing up with a safe, wealthy environment with a ton of education she never really felt loved by her father so after he and sonic start fighting she pretty much immediately both replaces half her body with cybernetics to serve as a useful pawn in her fathers schemes and started dying her hair in the hopes that if she looked like sonic she'd at least get any attention. she eventually ran away (after realising she was trans and being terrified of her father not accepting her) and like kinda did the whole sonic heroes thing but being like a human meant she couldn’t just be reset so. she just kinda started serious therapy and now is in an awkward midground where she has absolutely no idea who’s side she’s on. i also have some more detailed thoughts on her under the cut if u want.

the modifications she did to her body for her cybernetics stunted her growth a lot. she was short as a kid and as a teenager she's like 4’7 max. it was extremely invasive and painful, but she was that desperate for any sort of familial love. being eleven it was not exactly done great and while she’s a terrifying combatant she's in and out of hospital the rest of her life for some reason or another.

eggman does actually fully support her transition, bc while he's a terrible dad he does on some level genuinely care about her and like, he cares more about her continuing the mad science legacy than how she presents herself.

she’s very much a sheltered rich kid. the closest thing she’s ever had to a friendship is trying to murder her fathers arch nemesis, and that started when she was eleven she didn’t have any sort of friend before that. her socialisation is messed up enough that despite technically still being fully human (just with very advanced cybernetics) she's still very much the maladjusted violent ball of anger and jealousy she is in canon. sonic and co literally thought she was just a very humanoid killer robot for years. like, up until heroes. but no it’s just severe trauma.

she does however have more hobbies than torturing small animals! she's fond of liveleak.com, licking batteries until she's electrocuted (her modifications prevent her from being seriously injured), and inventing weaponry. she eventually picks up some less… concerning hobbies after a bit of therapy and spending time with sonic and co. (she particularly enjoys fashion and, surprisingly enough, animal crossing).

she mostly resembles her father (her biological mother was specifically picked so that’d be the case, along with many other stringent requirements) but she looks close enough to maria robotnik that she Constantly freaks shadow out. especially bc she is again very sickly and probably will die young bc of the complications with replacing half of her body including her brain with cybernetics made by an eleven year old. she exploits this to experiment on him when she’s bored. she’s not as familiar with biological sciences as robotics but she does kinda want to Not Die and unethical experimentation on the immortal ultimate life form helps.

yes, her nine year old pre-cybernetics appearance is deliberately meant to look a little like alex kidd with the messy hair and pallet. bc she’s neglected in favour of sonic. why not.

#my art #human metal sonic au #sonic humanization #sonic gijinka #metal sonic #transfem metal sonic #i hope eggman looks as fucking out of his depth as he can get in a doodle #he is Not a good parent to robot kids let alone human ones #he just wanted an ivo jr for the ego boost and he didn’t even end up with that #though he did end up with a daughter who shares his passion for robotics and exploiting people so he’s not mad lmao #neglect tw #abuse tw #since like. child neglect is abuse lmao #do her cybernetics count as body horror idk #bc they’re not like prosthetics or anything they're like. forcibly grafted on #and replace a good half of her organic body #including her organs :D

My PlayStation all stars 2 dream roster

Before I begin. I just want to address a few things.

1. Crash and Spyro will be apart of this roster. I imagine Sony would work out of a deal with Microsoft (let crash and Spyro be in they crossover games and bungie (who Sony will still own) can make halo games for them again) because how iconic they are to PlayStation.

2. I think Sony could use this as starting point for a shared gaming multiverse (think dc or marvel). Plus this give some closer to story that will never get continued. So yeah this game is canon to each franchise in this game

3. Similar to sonic heroes, their is multiple team stories with each story being characters for who debuted in each of different eras of PlayStation and a third party story for characters that debuts on other consoles. each era’s would have a villain that debut in that generation. The plot will revolves around a society in the center of the multiverse who creates, watch and help save these PlayStation worlds. But a team up of villains are working together to collect polygon man prices for ultimate power! So this society gathers four heroes of each console generation to deal with this threat. Each team gather more characters from their eras and fight their era villains at the story end. The final story have each team worked together to defeat a resurrect polygon man and his army.

4. Every characters from the first game is returned.

5. each character have eight alternate outfits from they games (if their not enough Palette swap is them)

6. Each character have custom supers moves

Anyway on to the roster

Returning characters

Kratos from god of war (base on his Norse mythology version this time. So levaiathan axe, blades of chaos (because him not have them ruin one of best scenes in the series) and draupnir spear)

Ratchet and clank from ratchet and clank (each weapon in their moveset is updated to there rift apart versions)

Jak and daxter from jak and daxter (yes the mar plot line will be resolved. Level 1 supers reference stuff from jak 1, level 2 supers reference stuff from jak 2 and level 3 supers reference stuff from jak 3)

Sly cooper from sly cooper (considered this hypothetical game would be canon to all series feature in this. It pretty obvious this game would have sly get back to the future! Just case we never get sly cooper 5.)

Paparapa from paparapa the rapper (paparapa will look more closely to his series this time)

Spike from ape escape

Nathan drake from uncharted (the grapple hook replace zip line (grapple hook attach itself to a platform, allowing drake to follow it up with swing kick or a diving punch), each of Nathan weapons are updated to their a thief end version, Nathan custom level 3 are references to supernatural shit in the first three games.)

Cole McGrath from infamous (good Cole and evil Cole won’t take damage from election attacks)

Evil Cole mcgrath from infamous (use the powers of the beast in his moveset. Also the villain of ps3 era story and final boss of that story)

Sack boy from little big planet (now include moves from little big planet 3 and sackboy big adventure)

Fat princess from fat princess (i seriously hope Sony doesn’t changes her name in a squeal. Because modern politics correct)

Sweet tooth from twisted metal (if you remember that canceled twisted metal game that took place in an apocalypse. His design is taken from that scarp project. In other words, sweet tooth home is now paradise!)

Sir Daniel fortesque from medievil (updated to look like his medievil remake design)

Radec from killzone (resurrect as a cyborg after lowtiregod himself)

Toro from Japan aka PlayStation Japan mascot (keep his outfits gimmick. But each outfit attacks represents insomniac, naughty dog or sucker punch games. Insomniac outfit is ratchet, naughty dog outfit is jak and sucker punch outfit is sly)

Nariko from heavenly sword

Heihachi Mishima from tekken (most likely won’t speak because of Japan respect for dead voice actors. So just say he can’t talk because of his resurrection. Edit: somehow heihachi returns. I wrote this (I been working on this for a long time) before the announcement of him returning in tekken 8. I actually thought Namco would keep him dead after tekken 7. because hired a old man voice actor for him, had the same life expectancy of concord)

Big daddy from bioshock (yes he comes with a rapture stage. Like psasbr should have done!)

Dante from devil may cry (the original Dante. His moveset is now updated to include weapons and attacks from dmc1, dmc3, dmc4 and dmc5. Not including dmc2 do to that game being bad from what I hear)

Raiden from metal gear (moveset is now updated to include more attacks from rising, the game amazing bosses songs are available to play on stages, raiden can trigger unique codec calls for each player characters (like snake in brawl) on the metal gear stage. This game would also explain why raiden a cyborg again. despite mgs4 having him turn back to normal at the end)

Kat from gravity rush

Emmett graves from Star hawk

Issac Clarke from dead space (moveset is update to the dead space remake)

Zeus from god of war (the blade of Olympus and the gauntlet of Zeus is used in his moveset now. Zeus can also summon some other Greek gods for custom supers)

Newcomings

Ps1 era

Crash bandicoot from crash bandicoot (I want to make crash a surprise. So he wouldn’t be reveal till the game launch. Imagine this. You just got PlayStation all stars 2 on launch day. You start story mode and notice the ps1 era story is the only available one. So you select it and the first cutscene is a recreation of crash bandicoot 1 title screen. That how you reveal PlayStation original mascot!)

Spyro the dragon from spyro the dragon (moveset is base on the original trilogy by insomniac games)

Cloud from final fantasy (moveset is a combination of the original and remake)

Dart from the legend of dragoon (considered they were outcry to finish him! He most likely would be in a sequel)

Leon Kennedy from resident evil (I pick him over Jill or Chris because re4 is considered to be the best game of time. So re4 weapons for his moveset)

Dr. Neo cortex from crash bandicoot (ps1 era story main villain and final boss of that story)

Abe from Oddworld

Tomba from Tomba

Sephiroth from final fantasy (because if cloud end up in a fighting game, sephiroth is going to show up to ruin cloud fun)

Nemesis from resident evil (classic design from re3, moveset combined stuff from the original game and remake, nemesis will hunt you down in levels after Leon join the party in certain levels)

Ps2 era

Sora from kingdom hearts (I know some people think getting Sora is impossible if a sequel happens. But, A. Disney was pretty relax with Sora getting in smash bros and B. Don’t have any Disney characters cameos in this game)

Dr. Nefarious from ratchet and clank (I know some people think another ratchet and clank rep should be captain qwark, but I disagree for 2 reasons. 1. Qwark original voice has Alzheimer’s disease so can’t act anymore and 2. Dr nefarious is the most popular ratchet and clank villain. Plus he be the perfect main villain (and final boss) for the ps2 story, considering he a fan favorite who debuted in this era. Also bring Lawrence back damn it!)

Wander from shadow of the colossal (honestly it pretty surprised wander wasn’t considered for the original PlayStation all stars. His game is considered by many to be the best game ever made)

Ultra v from war of the monsters (basically he the size of the iron giant from multiversus)

Kiryu Kazuma from yakuza (I know the devs of the series say “Kiryu can’t be in a fighting game because he has to fight woman and that out of character”. But because the game story is about different universes, what if dr nefarious just kidnapped a Kiryu from different universe (probably from dead souls) and turn him into a mindless servant robot. So when you fighting female characters it just a robot kiryu reskin with his moves)

Death jr from death jr (the psp rep for the game)

Pyramid head from silent hill (is brought back thanks to the ps4 era villain who good with magic. Because pyramid head only exist till James learn the truth)

Greek kratos from god of war (you know how they three link’s in smash and they’re all have no exclusive moves from their games (except botw link and young link). Yeah, I not doing that so here two kratos with two unique movesets! Greek kratos will be part of two pre bonus characters (The other being reboot Dante) that can be bought four months after release or unlock after beating all era’s stories )

Ps3 era

Joel and Ellie from the last of us (I know some people are going to say “Joel and Ellie can’t be in this because their game series is to violent!” One, silent hill is much darker than the last of us part 2 and 2 you know how much outrage if they are not in it. So anyway. Joel and Ellie are like pyra and mythra from smash ultimate (with Ellie being a semi clone of Joel). Joel deal more damage/take less damage but is slow, Ellie is faster but deal less damage/take more damage.

You’re also probably asking “isn’t Joel dead?” Well, this Joel is from a different universe where he didn’t die and part 2 never happened)

Hybrid Chimeran from resistance (this is an original character for the game. He was a Russia young adult, who have seriously smoked problem. When the chimeran started revealing Russia. He was still able to keep free will because the virus having not adapted to resist cancer yet (he has undiagnosed cancer). After discovering chimeran like him, who also have free will (thank to other diseases). They’re escapes to lceland too work on some kind of cure)

The slayer of demon from demon souls (look, I never play or will play a soulslike game. But his game create the genre. So they have to be in this game)

Kutaro from puppeteer

Gleeber and Lunk from PlayStation move heroes (the PlayStation move rep)

Kevin buttler from those old ps3 commercials (ok, incase you don’t know who he is. Check out rebeltaxi video call ‘strange colorful semi lost ps3 games’ to know who he is. You finish the video? Good. then let move on. Kevin is basically the nick fury of this multiverse protection society.)

PS4 era

Spider man from marvel spider man (I know some people think he doesn’t deserve to be in a sequel, because he not a video game character. But just to remind people, James Bond was considered for smash bros melee because goldeneye 64 was that good. And it a license game!)

Abby from the last of us (ah yes the Ray of PlayStation, a group of people love her and the other group want her dead! Look, it more likely she will be in a sequel if it happen. So just don’t play as her if you don’t like her ok! As for gameplay she a clone of Joel and Ellie with a few unique moves. Tho the rat king will be a level three super and the golf club)

Deacon St. John from days gone (the real reason, deacon is on this roster because of one thing. THAT. FUCKING. CLIFFHANGER! (Also, because it consider an modern cult classic by PlayStation fans) like seriously did forget to trick the director again (another why we never got a sequel is because the game director was an dick with angry issues). Anyway, simply to days gone, deacon can find material (that spawn randomly on the stage) to create items for new attacks, find a melee weapon that be upgraded with materials (still have a durable meter that is viewable next to deacon super bar) and upgrade deacon gun attacks by finding better one’s.)

Helldiver from helldivers (like the hybrid Chimera, this helldiver is a unique character created for this game. He wanted to be a helldiver, since he was kid. So he train till was he the legal age to become one. Becoming the first helldivers in history not to die after 3 missions!

After serving super earth for 10 years, he realized that super earth became the very thing they’re swear to destroy! After that, the PlayStation multiverse protection society offer him to join. Leading him to become the best non power agent in the society. His name is Joel btw! For his moveset, he basically Rachel but with helldivers 2 weapons.)

Odin from god of war (main villain of ps4 era and final boss. You’re probably thinking “why is Odin the main villain of the ps4 era. When he didn’t appear in gow 2018” simple. The main villain of 2018 was sent be him, Mimir got trapped in that tree because Odin and giants species got order 66 because of Odin paranoia!

This Odin version is from a reality. Where he actually kill people’s, when he done using them! One day, Odin find a purple ploygon in his workshop and when touching it, open a portal to different world. Odin sent magni and moni in to investigate (mostly cause they useless) and later. Moni is launch out of the portal dead! With magni body being held by evil Cole McGrath aka the beast!

After expanding he not a threat, Odin and Cole sit down and talk with some beer. Cole explains he found a piece liked Odin too in new empire city (a place he built to restarted humanity. After activating all conduits) and suggest it could be a piece from polygon man. Someone who tricked him into a disguise fighting tournament and changed his world history. When Odin ask. What happened to him? Cole explains after everyone realizes they’re been trick, everyone work together to kill polygons man and change their worlds history back to normal and get back home! While everyone was fighting purple clones of themselves, a mark warrior kill polygon man by stabbing him with a blue glowing sword! Realizing this is his chance to control his fate and rule everything. Odin proposes an alliance with Cole to collect polygons man remains to accomplish their goals. Cole suggests they’re need some type of machine to transfer the power tho and a bigger army.

Suddenly, a portal open with dr neo cortex and dr nefarious tumble out with them getting up back up and fighting. Odin tie them down with vine magic and ask who are they? Both explain who their are and nefarious say cortex enter his lab through some portal, both getting into a fight and ending up here.

Cole explains who there are and they plan and ask if they want to join. Both say yes! After that, all four recruits other villains to help with their plan)

Delsin Rowe from infamous (Delsin Rowe can switch between all 4 of his powers be using down circle. This is possible now thanks to a handheld device that contain smoke, neon, video and concrete)

Jin Sakura from ghost of Tsushima

Aloy from horizon (alts are the different tribes encounter in the horizon games)

The hunter from bloodborne

Knack from knack (yes, I want knack in a sequel! His power to grow bigger with more relics is a unique concept for a platform fighting game. Like his two games, knack will absorb relics to get bigger allow him to deal more damage at the cost of speed)

Connor from Detroit: become human (I know Quantic dreams is a studio with shitting work environment. But three of there games are iconic to PlayStation. So if you don’t like it, cry me a river.

Connor in this story is from the ‘everyone live’ timeline. Kara (aka ‘i really should been a dlc story expansion’ character) has written a book explaining how she escapes to Canada while protecting a robot child. Markus is continuing fighting for android rights and now human rights in others countries. And Connor is how an lieutenant at dpd)

Astro bot from Astro bot (surprise! Astro bot first debut on the ps4! In the story, Astro bot is the guardian of PlayStation society mainframe. Location in a secret in between region of the multiverse. The other bots are just his crew of workers)

Joker from persona (Joker use others persona’s for attacks, he summon phantom thieves members for super attacks, Kasumi is alt, joker is in his 20s now, all out attack and sinful shell are custom level 3 supers and have cel shading like his game)

Josh from until dawn (thanks to Odin magic (and manipulation his bad mental health) Josh is now back in control and he ready to finish what he started. Get revenge on his former friends for accidentally killing his sister’s death! Josh is an wendigo now. So his attacks and supers are combined of wendigo viciousness and his good old fashioned traps.)

Miles morales from marvel spider man (don’t worry. Miles is not going to wear ‘the miles morales original’ for his default. He also more of a semi clone than actual clone character. Because of his bio venom and 3 three unique gadgets)

Venom from marvel spider man (considering, they’re getting them game according to the insomniac games leaks. I think having spidey most iconic villain makes sense. Venom height is the same as in marvel spider man 2 and spider man and miles spider sense don’t work on them)

Quill from moss (psvr rep)

Pig detective from dreams (so in case you don’t play dream. Pig detective is 3d point and click adventure series made by team pig. Anyway, i pick him because the devs of dreams have recommended the series on ‘mm picks’ and this series need more recognition. As for gameplay? Imagine phoenix wright from umvc3 but your playing as pig)

Ps5 era

Kena from kena:bridge of spirits (kena can find rot’s (they spawn around the stage randomly) to increase damage of supers that involves them and the stun time of that one move from her game I can’t remember)

Little outsider from stray (if smash can put in duck hunter dog and a 80 game accessory! We can add a cat)

Akito from ghostwire: Tokyo

Colt from deathloop

Selene Vassos from returnal (because she from a rouge like. I imagine her gimmick will involve collecting items to give her unique attacks and increased her stats, but these upgrades be lost when losing a live)

Vex from little big planet (despite me never finishing sackboy big adventure. I really like vex. He a pretty cool villain. Also ps5 era villain and final boss)

Wolverine from marvel wolverine (despite the game not being out yet. I decided to include him because the game is most likely going to be well received and sell well.

Wolverine main gimmick would be his healing factor. Allow him to recover heath in the fight automatically! To make it balance. The rate Wolverine heal will depend on his health bar. He will recover health faster when at critical health, the opposite happens if he almost at full health.)

Atsu from ghost of yotei (again, the game isn’t out yet. But by the look of the trailer. It probably going to be great. Still piss Jin not the main character tho. Like come on! Make him Japan Batman!)

Jordan a. Mun from intergalactic the heretic prophet (ah yes, the game that will help anti woke content farm keep their light on till it release. Again, the game haven’t come yet. But it with being naughty dog next big game. She have to be here)

Eve from stellar blade

Third party characters

Solid snake from metal gear (keep you waiting huh? So your probably wondering why snake isn’t in the ps1 era? Because metal gear first game released on msx2 computer. Metal gear solid was a soft reboot like god of war 2018.

So anyway, as not to undoing mgs4 ending. This snake is from the universe of snake revenge (pretty meta because snake revenge didn’t have any involvement from Kojima) recruited into secret PlayStation society due to being a great infiltrate. Also most because the main universe snake is dead. And yes, David hayter will return to voice snake and he will have codec calls for each character like raiden)

Lara Croft from tomb raider (turned on tomb raider debut on sega Saturn. Anyway Lara Croft would be the one from ps1 era games. Yes they multiple tomb raider continuity’s. So she being this game story would be her final adventure, like drank in a theft end. You can also expect her double pistols as attacks)

Ryu from street fighter (it can’t be a crossover fighting game without Mr. Fighting game)

Scorpion from mortal Kombat (because this a crossover fighting game that has ryu. You might as well add the mascot of street fighter rival series. Just don’t except any fatalities tho)

Alex Mercer from prototype (when infamous and prototype first came out. Everyone was compare these two super heroes sandbox games in a quarantine city. So making Alex. Cole rival make sense)

Reboot Dante from DMC devil may cry (the other pre order bonus character. Dante moveset is updated to include his entire kit from DMC)

Booker Dewitt from bioshock

Batman from Arkham (The Batman arkham games has had exclusive content on PlayStation in the past. Plus, asylum and city are considered the best games of all time. But real reason he here is to retcon kill the justice league. I fucking hate this game!!! It undo Arkham knight amazing ending, unnecessary bring joker back (it a alternate version. But still this a game about the suicide squad, not Batman), making deadshot black (because I guess the general public can’t understand different versions of characters exist), having deathstroke not be one of the four base playing characters (origin post credit scene has deathstroke be the first recruit for the squad) and having the first appearance of the justice league in the Arkhamverse. Just for them to act like idiots and get most of metropolis kills! Just no. So here my idea for Batman in the third party story mode.

Suicide squad: kill the justice league is explained ways as an in universe movie. To cash in on Batman identity being revealed as Bruce Wayne. The movie got overwhelmed negative reviews for kill the world greatest heroes with no respect and giving Batman an insulting death. But anyway, on to Batman.

Bruce has continue his war on crime, using a less powerful version of scarecrow cloudburst fear toxic. To scare criminals and supervillains as Batman “ghost”. Tho he doesn’t interfere that much. 2 years later, batman is testing a new suit (made out of different bat suits) on patrol when he hear a GCPD call about some crime scene. The story starts there.

One more thing tho. Due to Kevin conroy passing away. He honestly wouldn’t return to voice the dark knight. For that reason I suggest to get someone who sounds identical to Kevin Batman voice.)

Joker from Arkham (the third party story mode villain. “But you say it was unnecessary to bring joker back in kill the justice league!?”. Yes I did. But Batman is played this game, unlike kill the justice league. “Joker doesn’t have a reason to come back”. During in Batman (the prime Batman) storyline. Different jokers from across the multiverse were getting power up by a different joker (one who never became joker) and dead jokers were bought back to live. Including Arkham joker. So there you’re reason on why he can come back! Also, mark Hamill would obviously not voice joker. Due to him retire from voice joker after Kevin conory dead. So just get someone who sounds identical to mark joker voice)

Shadow the hedgehog from sonic the hedgehog (this is mostly because of that old fake leak)
