Here my Arid Canyon Zone 2 time attack I saw mastakirby do this skip during netplay of srb2 and was super confused. So I watched his Twitch vod and learned how to do it after 5 or more tries. :P
I may come back and upload a better run of this level but this is fun. :3
Back again with more SRB2 kart videos. As the title says, 3 srb2 kart races in one video. All being hosted on Mastakirby’s server and streamed on Mastakirby’s Twitch channel.
The man had so many wads that replays started not working. The games were fun till some asshole got mad he was kicked. Told him why he was kicked but didn’t read the warning. No one reads these days.
I would add a Twitch clip link but Tumblr will hide this post in search. >:V
Here the video with the races shown.
Who is who here.
Don’t be mad is OnyChaos (me)
MastaKirby is Mastakirby
Nowa Nowa Noire is HyperSonic7701
We are using a change character wad and Roll the dice wad.
So, after forgetting that Sonic Speed 2020 was a thing last night, I also forgot it was a thing but went to the stream today and it was kinda fine though, I did missed a good bit of the stream and started watching around 2Pm?
I want to bring some highlights from what I seen. I didn’t see all of it as I left during the Sonic cd run since I was busy but I did want to talk about some of the runs and runners during Sonic Speed R. Oh I’m sorry, it’s called Sonic Spee. I wish who ever was editing the audio would cut it right. The guy gets cut off at “Sonic Speed”
Enough of that. Let’s talk about my thoughts on these runs and the runners.
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle ran by Drakodan
Watching Drakodan’s run was technical and had a lot of tricks that from the look of thing that he has these skills burned into his mind, they are second nature to him and to watch them in action is a treat to see.
So, SRB2.2 came out in December 7th. Everyone in my group was happy to get play it. I was happy but not as happy as I was around the day that the srb2.2 trailer dropped.
There are bad hot takes here. You been warned. :3
I’m kinda sad that some of the level layouts here didn’t make it in the final build* I will go on about that later. I was not as happy since after 2.1+ the game didn’t read my triggers on my controller. A tiny issue but I worked around it and still had fun.
Alright, so srb2.2.. So my thoughts. When I first did a play through of 2.2 on twitch stream. I had fun but SRB2.2 felt like a level pack like Tortured Planet or the emerald isles. It didn’t feel like a true release to me but it was released but the game is far from done. It was fun but lacking something to me…
I did a review? Or a thing on SRB2.1 But the game is fine, not great but fine. The new changes are not bad but questionable. There are changes I don’t agree with? But it’s not my game. they made it.
Hi. Got another SRB2 video of time attack for SRB2.2 but this time it’s Haunted Heghts Zone as Tails but with a new time. This was a fun run of sorts. Not going to do this as Sonic tho. ever.
Well, hope you enjoy and probably should have a SRB2.2 review thing up soon… but that can wait
Here is another SRB2.2 video but using fang this time. Boss Time attack. I got around to uploading this bad time and I’m still using a controller. But hope you like it.
I don’t know how many more post I will make because I have 24 posts I need to re-upload to tumblr anyway. Maybe more but eh, we will see what happens
Wanted to share my Time attack video for srb2.2. Since Mastakirby and Hypersonic7701 are making videos, I may as well join the party. Here my time attack of Castle Eggman act 2 using a controller.
This is a playback but hope you enjoy. :3 It’s nothing amazing.
Playing SRB2Kart with the same group of friends again. The playback desynced but don’t know by how much but looks like it was fixed so after.
But I used to hate this stage from mario kart super circuit since It’s very easy to miss your mark but after learning tricks from my friends, the stage is not as bad but still not fond of it but it was fun.
I am glad that SRB2Kart replays are handy for watching a race or match.
Goes without saying but I’m playing as Princess Daisy. :3
Two months have passed since Dr.Robotnik / Eggman tried to take over the world from his new base, the ring satellite found in space.
Eggman had plans on draining the rings from the planet to keep Sonic at bay. But that plan fell through when Sonic burst into the base to stop him in his tracks.
Sonic, after stopping Eggman’s latest plan, figured that would be the end of his mad plans, but Sonic was wrong as Eggman had planned to return to get his revenge with a new threat and plan in store.
While Eggman is planning, a strange asteroid started hovering around the planet, Eggman, mad at the heroes he curses, plans on making them all.
(Sonic was the only one there…)
The strange asteroid was picked up by Eggman’s scanner, seeing this he shrugged it of as it could have been any rock but later on, he had an idea to use the energy stored within the rock for his latest plan to turn it into a new base to make all that stand against him, beg for mercy.
Eggman, using his new weapon/base targets Greenflower City to show Sonic, he has the power to do what he wants. Sonic is too late to do anything to save the city, Eggman comes to gloat one last time before putting his plan into action.
Sonic and Tails give chase to put a stop to Eggman’s plans and our game begins
Gameplay
Sonic Robo Blast 2 or SRB2 is a Sonic Fangame that goes back to the classic roots of Sonic, using a modified version of the Doom Legacy engine
It’s an FPS but without guns, it works really well. You have your main 3 heroes. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles who all play different, akin to “Sonic 3 & Knuckles”
One new feature to Sonic’s Moveset is the “speedthok” that will send Sonic at high-speeds.
I should talk about the characters and the level difficulty. Sonic is the hard mode, you are fast and quick, but control is something you need to earn.
With Sonic, there is no safety net to catch you if you make a platforming mistake or mistakes
You have speed, and skill on your side.
Tails is the slowest one, while speed is not on your side, you have full control of your character, even while going fast.
Knuckles is faster than Tails but not as fast as Sonic, Knuckles has a low jump like in the classic games but like the classic games, you can climb walls, and glide
You have 7 zones and the final zone. This is version 2.1.19 that I am using
There are stages that level themes akin to the classic games
There are emerald tokens that will warp the player to a special stage that plays akin to “Nights into dreams”
You have the Green Hill themed like stage. all green and full of life, water flowing flowers dancing. For a place that has been wiped out. Greenflower zone looks nice
You have a chemical plant themed stage. Techno Hill, the area outside Greenflower has been turned into a toxic mechanical factory that is pumping out toxic slime.
You have your water-themed zone. Deep Sea, your underground labyrinth with hidden ruins, and flowing waters that lead into a deeper underground labyrinth.
Castle Eggman is one of Eggman’s castle, guarded by his robots, and full of traps to keep you on edge.
Arid Canyon is an open level that has been taken over by Eggman. Hot oil and deep canyons, using Rope pulleys to cross the deep canyons
Red Volcano is your lava/fire stage that is ready to blow. Lava rising and lowering, and falling platforms.
Egg rock, the final zone and the last wall of Eggman’s defense. Low gravity, anti-gravity, and crushers. This stage will test your platforming skills with Metal Sonic.
Egg Rock Core zone, the final fight. It’s you and Eggman.
The game difficulty is based on how well you can control the character, using Sonic for the first time is going to be hard, whereas using Tails or Knuckles may offer a better playing experience.
Final thoughts
SRB2 or Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a fun game, I say it’s pretty stable, the game is still being worked on still.
My issue with the game is the learning curve, for players who played SRB2 to death, this is no issue but to a new player, this is a huge turn-off, and may even turn players away from the game.
I had a few deaths in SRB2 that felt cheap (Questionable) But for the most part, it went well
I didn’t bring this up, but SRB2 has online and a big community of modders and the online is fun when you can get things going without resyncs.
But overall, SRB2 is a fun fan game that does a good job of bringing the classic heroes to 3D well. If you love Sonic and 3D platformers and doom like controls, SRB2 may be for you. if you don’t like doom like controls or 3D platformers but like Sonic. Give SRB2 a try, it’s free, and you may be surprised what this game has to offer
