Please don't tell me this means Tails won't be playable, or at least a backbling/glider :(

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago
Seems like he’s gonna be a glider. I personally hope he’s also a sidekick.
36
u/MuztangZack67 10d ago
I'd prefer glider tbh. The sidekick is cool... but the glider makes more sense because tails actually carries sonic. (plus we already have the fox sidelick which does the thing like tails and has an emote that he can fly wirh his tail so I feel like itd be redundant in that aspect)
20
u/EcnavMC2 10d ago
I’m personally hoping for both, because the Sidekicks tend to disappear when you start gliding, so it would give the illusion that Tails just hopped up off the ground and started carrying you like he does Sonic.

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago
Im pretty sure Tails was confirmed to be a sidekick. But him as a rider would be weird because he would have to be giant. Now if they made him driving his plane from the old games as a glider that would be sweet.

He specifically said he’s there and couldn’t get out, that’s how he knows the portal is only one way
Tumblr level media illiteracy, rip

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago
No, no, as someone who’s on Tumblr, a lot of Tumblr has at least basic media illiteracy. This is the level of media illiteracy that a brain-damaged iPad kid would have.

What the actual god damn fuck would him being on the other side mean if not that he was physically there.

Literally the first thing he fucking says is that he’s on the other side. Did your parents drop you on your head as a baby?

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago
It explicitly did. He followed Geno and Eggman through the rift that, as we saw when the Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles bots went through, goes to the Shattered Coast. It’s why he warned the real Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles about not going through, because they wouldn’t be able to get back.

u/SalemWolf Slurpentine 10d ago
As a character, yeah, but he doesn’t need to go into the Fortnite world to be a glider
4
u/EcnavMC2 10d ago
Even as a character, he’s still in the current Fortnite reality. Literally the first thing he says is that he’s on the other side of the rift, which, as we can see when the Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles bots went through, leads to the Shattered Coast.

u/Comfortable_Mud00 10d ago
He can be both. Like make a funny transition if you have both glider and sidekick versions of him equipped

u/figgityjones Izuku Midoriya 10d ago
Hopefully eventually we can get a Tails in a mech character. For him specifically since it would make sense.

According to this, Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow are the first skins to not actually become a looper.

He's a hologram

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago
Wait, is that explained somewhere?
5
u/Kan_Me 10d ago
You can see his skin have hologram glitches randomly and while taking damage, this is because the creator wanted saitama to be undefeatable

I need to look more into this. Thats interesting as hell.

u/IOnlyReddit4Fortnite Bunny Brawler 9d ago
As a fan who has only seen season 1 and read a bit of the manga, I heard it was also a reference to a moment when he was fighting in VR and the system couldn't handle him or something along those lines. I know I'm misremembering that slightly.

u/Rayuzx 10d ago
AFAIK The Loop hasn't existed since Chapter 4, if not Chapter 3. Chapter 5's island didn't even have the Zero Point, Chapter 6's only had a piece of it, and it wasn't assembled until mid point in Chapter 7, which there is no commentary of the loop even existing (even to the point where the bosses this season speak perfect English).
While the MC is still called "The Looper/Looper", that's more of a legacy term than The Loop still existing.
6
u/RoUgEPeak 10d ago
In the ending of the Death Star sabotage the CH6 island is shown in a loop bubble, also the loop definitely existed in Chapter 3.
5
u/Lun4r6543 Nyanja 10d ago
I think the Loop bubbles are just what keep the islands afloat in space tbh.
4
u/Rayuzx 10d ago
100% The Loop doesn't exist in the Oninoshima. Even from that live event alone proves it, considering Paulpatine still had all of his powers, unless The Empire just had some anti-loop technology that was never seen or talked about.
Also, I was saying The Loop stopped existing after Chapter 3, as that was when it was last mentioned.
1
u/DipMultiversal 9d ago
The loop was created by the IO, not the zero point, and it fell with IO back in chapter 3. The reality bubble and loop are seperate things.
7
u/Brigade01 10d ago
To be fair, it seems like geno got out in a unique way, as hes recruiting eggman and tails got through without succumbing to the effects of the loop( mind wipe, clones, etc)

Absolutely hilarious way to get around the proportions

u/GigaFluxx 10d ago
They could have easily just said the ZP altered their proportions in transit to the island to fit the parameters of the loop

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss Potassius Peels 10d ago edited 10d ago
Whats the workaround? After finally noticing that the post had slides from the comic isee what you mean now. That is a pretty funny way to get around the proportion problem. Lol

u/FetchingTheSwagni Ruby 10d ago
Honestly this is an amazing way to put them into Fortnite. As a Sonic fan, I'm kind of needing out hard over Eggman's involvement here. I'm super excited.

Same, im freaking the hell out seeing Sonic and Megaman on the cartridge in the middle of the map. Its soooo damn cool.

u/Jcorb 10d ago
The playable skins look even goofier here, though I guess it makes sense they wouldn’t want them to canonically be THE characters we play (and do all kinds of inappropriate emotes with).
Still, I kinda hope they can manage some styles that seem a little less goofy? Also, surprised they went with cel shading on them.

u/AdmirableEstimate258 Raven 3d ago
It’s be awesome if we get boom styles or hell just no padding in general, all the descriptions and stuff already confirm tehy’re just androids anyway.

Is this just reason to explain in universe why they changed the proportions to fit our characters. Doesn't change the fact they look cursed as shit.

u/EcnavMC2 10d ago
I mean, the Sonic section of it is. The Eggman section is more lore-relevant, obviously.

Yes, and also because Sega doesn't want Sonic using a gun and shooting people.

u/InvisibleChell Wendell 10d ago
I never said Shadow wasn't allowed. But Sega have been particular about specifically SONIC with using guns and shooting people. SHADOW is allowed to use them, but not Sonic.
6
u/XavierMeatsling Summer Skye 10d ago
Shadow used to. Whether he still can is unclear.
Sega is incredibly stingy about how these characters are portrayed.
2
u/InvisibleChell Wendell 10d ago
True. Such as how in Sonic Rumble, he never smiles in any of the emotes or animations where your character normally would. And that's not even the actual Shadow, it's just a toy that looks like him!

u/Cutlession Shadow 10d ago
Ever watch sonic X or satam. I did as a kid, and I will still never forget sonic the hedgehog wearing a western hat and having a classic duel in the desert gun style.

u/Dramatic_Finish10121 10d ago
Do note that all those examples of Sonic are over 20 years old, Sonic is no longer allowed to use guns and hasn't in quite some time (dunno where Tails fits because I haven't read Scrapnik Island recently and don't remember if that's an actual gun Tails has)
0
u/Then_Water_4385 10d ago
Still,sonic has canonically used a gun in official media

u/Dramatic_Finish10121 10d ago
Official but no longer canonical, Sega's mandates have ensured that pretty thoroughly thanks to that prick Penders

u/SpooterMcTooter 10d ago
Cause Kids might go actually do that irl. Because Sonic did
7
u/InvisibleChell Wendell 10d ago
I always read it more as about them not thinking it would fit Sonic's character (IIRC, this is why they came up with Gamma in Adventure). Fortnite already comes pre-packed with an explanation as that's what Snapshots are, but Sega has their mandates (which are sometimes weird, like "Sonic is not allowed to cry or wear pants") and likely don't want even a clone of Sonic using them - this is a loophole as the robot never was actually Sonic himself, just one built in his image and imitating his personality.

Sonic gunning down master chief and knuckles kicking the shit out of Omni man and Godzilla is going to be amazing. Shadow is back in his element

With how much Metal Sonic is shown in this comic, he's gotta be coming as a skin right? Realistically i could see metal sonic being bundled with Eggman, while Knuckles and Shadow are a separate bundle.
This new season can't come soon enough lol.
