I am aware of what the hands look like. I did my best. :(
I always wish they'd show the world record for the run, for reference. Is there an easy place to look that stuff up?

Has there ever been a good Sonic game?

Like, since the first one?

1-3, Day Unleashed, Generations. I'll go to bat for Chaotix too.

Never got into the Adventure games though.

Don't steal them.
Sonic 1 and the base game of Sonic 3 both suck a lot, 2 and & Knuckles are both great. That, Colors, and Generations. That's it. Those are the only good Sonic games.

I actually really enjoy the ending song for the Neutral path and I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING.

It's pretty much the only thing that I unironically like from the game though. Christ, I forgot how bad everything else was.

Good sonic games:
Sonic 2
Sonic 3
+Knuckles
Sonic CD (debatable but alright)
GBA 1
GBA 2 (Never played it but heard it holds up pretty well)
Rush Adventure 1
Daytime Unleashed
Colors
Generations

Colors is pretty bad if you don't learn the convulsed rear end controls. If you get the controls down it's actually not terrible outside it's plot.

I really like Sonic Adventure 2. It's barely a Sonic game, but its fun on its own and the bizarre amount of secrets and hidden objects is always something I enjoy in a game.

Adventure 2 was the best 3D Sonic until Unleashed/Colors. Great music, cool atmosphere, hilarious cutscenes, and the gameplay wasn't painful.

Main reason they don't is it would likely lead to a bunch of "THIS GUY SUCKS WHERE'S THE WR RUNNER" poo poo talking from people who don't understand the difference between WR strats and marathon-safe strats.

It's fun to make fun of Sonic fans but I can be put in my place for having played all the Kingdom Hearts games. What is wrong with me.

KH is returning this year with Birth By Sleep, which tbh I've never seen a run of.

Unless you bought the initial Dreamcast run, where the game was literally broken because of a GD Rom issue

Yeah, the people who complain about people loving up on live stream need to actually sit in these runners' stream channels when they're trying to go for top times. A lot of disappointment and thrown controllers before everything falls into place.

I kind of wish I had a PS2 back in the day so I could have gotten into those games. I love me some stupidly convoluted anime bullshit to laugh at. Ah who am I kidding, back in the day I'd have loved it unironically.

To be fair to the Sonic fans I recently bought FFXIII-2 from the steam sale so I can get disappointed all over again.

My excuse is that it was pretty cheap and maybe the new Pokemon mechanic is fun?

Isn't the whole plot just "Eggman captured a bunch of things and put them in robots. Blow up his factory and set them free"? Did you mean Sonic Lost World?
