GIVE ME THE proof that Mark won't burn out on the remake like he did with the original and the episode 1 remake...

no u

With 5 emeralds inside of him, why didn't he just beat Mecha Sonic by himself?

Out of the loop with all this but why is the guy remaking the entire series? Last time i remember the orginal story was still ongoing. I know he quit working on SMBZ due to life taking priority etc. But a remake sounds pointless to me considering the series is based on sprites

I'm gonna assume that he got his life and whatnot in order or so, and not a dumb writer like the last guy.

Is it possible to give the maker any money or did Nintendo shit on that?

Check out his ko-fi page (link on his twitter, tap mark haynes on google)

Because the original episodes weren't very good and he had a falling out with his old writer that was trying to take over the series so he started over

Rebooting the entire series. Because of how much time has passed, his vision of the series has changed quite a bit, he probably also figured that the new style would be a little jarring for the original series and also that he really regretted episode 7 among some other things. Also what said.
So the only real choice he felt like he had was to redo the whole thing from scratch.
Think of the original now as a rough draft and the new one as the manuscript that was started a while later after he let a bunch of ideas cook up in the meantime.

Bruh didnt this shit get cancelled so the creator could draw more furry porn

I'LL CRUSH YOU

he remaking it

Imagine if Peach would somehow use her Shadow Queen form in a desperate attempt to escape from Bowser and Eggman.

I still don’t get the reasoning behind changing Mecha Sonic. Wasn’t Metallix supposed to be his final form after he gets the emeralds? I know the reason was that Mark didn’t like the faceless look of Mecha, but that one eye was just so intimidating.

Legit made me laugh

That'd be dumb.

He has staff working with him on the reboot now, and he quit his old shit job.

Maybe he can still retcon it in as a combat visor. Makes no sense when the old intro actually gave him the one eye.

Looks like shit

What I don’t understand is why everyone harps on the mono eye as the only thing that needs to be fixed, when he looks fine with metal sonic’s eyes and nose.

The real problem with the new design is clearly the fact that his body looks like a fucking megaman X character instead of a sonic or mario one. It’s so out of place and just looks like a cartoony dude wearing triangular clothes, not robotic at all.

I'll tell you one thing, the reboot's version of the Yoshi's Island fight is going to be fucking wild.

1. When the series ended that had to do with too many cooks in the kitchen so to speak. Check his twitter for a story on how they tried to hijack his series.
2. When Nintendo C&D'd his patreon over SMBZ that really killed his motivation and hard to blame him for that.
3.He seems like his head is in a better space now. He's reportedly going to therapy now and he has a team of people around him helping him(Making new sprites ripping soundbites from games etc.)

He's almost halfway done with episode 2 right now and if he is able to manage his time wisely he shouldn't burn himself out.

>When Nintendo C&D'd his patreon over SMBZ that really killed his motivation and hard to blame him for that.
All he had to do was not make the Patreon explicitly about SMBZ

That's a fan-fic tier idea

>2. When Nintendo C&D'd his patreon over SMBZ that really killed his motivation and hard to blame him for that.
Nah there's no defending him for that retardation. Guy didn't even try to hide that he was making money off of Nintendo and Sega's IPs

I'm not defending him explicitly advertising it but for how he felt when it happened.

Tbh it's really hard to manage. A sole link under a smbz video could nuke a patreon. Kaze, who does Mario 64 hacks, suffered from this.

This image makes my pp into big pp

Series peaked here

Series peaked when Mecha Sonic mercilessly destroyed the Axem Rangers and literally nuked Yoshis Island

>It's him! He's here!

I think both the body and eyes are worse but if I could change just one or the other, it would be the eyes. The visor is just too intimidating and lacks emotion/humanity and I love it

Bump.

desu there's not much else to talk about
I guess we could speculate how the reboot's story is going to deviate from the original?

Attached: 3435fdgde.png (204x176, 38.87K)

are there any fights from any game, movie or other mediums that rival the fight choreography of SMBZ?

does he still have a patreon and hides it or is it non-profit project this time?

I don't think he can top it.

Zoomer who never watched the original series here...
WHY THE FUCK IS THE AXEM RED JUST ZERO'S GBA SPRITE

Because it's a good sprite? Making original sprites is more time than what it was worth.

From what i've read, he has a new one, but there's no mention of SMBZ anywhere.

All the Axems are Mega Mans

Because the original sprites weren't conducive to anime fights.

Attached: Axemrangers.png (410x213, 11.93K)

why are they so based?

Attached: based bros.jpg (344x146, 13.3K)

They weren't even worthy enough to fight Mecha Sonic

Go back and watch the series and you'll see how dated it is, it makes sense to reboot because any new viewers might be zoomers and might be alienated by the aged humor

I wonder if the OVER 9000 jokes will stay.

He's autistic, not retarded.

One detail I don't like about the original is how easy it is to use the power of the Chaos Emerald for people who don't even know what it is, how the fuck did you Koopa bros use it to boost their attack without even trying? How did the Axem Rangers just plug that shit into their cannon and have it work? Ok well that second one is a little nit picky but being able to use the Chaos Emerald in the first place is shown as something not easy in Adventure series and it's just kind of odd to me why some people can just not even try and the Chaos Emerald will give them power.

Still think the most hype moment was Shadow warping 40+ individuals over 200 miles away with almost zero effort and only one chaos emerald.

>Dimentio after Mecha Sonic
>He revives and brainwashes Knuckles to work as his right hand man alongside Mr. L
>Final battle has him absorb the Master Emerald

I don't even like this series, I'm only here because I like seeing anons talk about early internet stuff.

The Kooba Bros only managed to use it when using their special move in desperation.
It's likely some DBZ style state-of-mind thing.
The Axem rangers weren't able to use it at all on their own, and it took Mecha Sonic a relatively long time to power up off of four of them, implying that there's a toll on your body.

>brainwashes
If Mark has any love for the series, Dimentio would literally just tell the moron that Mario and Luigi are trying to steal the master emerald and he would hand it over to protect it. Dude is the most naive idiot on Mobius.

Well if we wanna get autistic about things, people in the Mario universe are used to using things that enhance their powers through channeling or absorbing something. They don't see a Chaos Emerald, they see an infinite-use, super-powerful Power Up. Like a Star that never runs out.

Idk man the original metal sonic eyes do the same thing to me.

Yoshi solo vs Mecha Sonic was the peak, and we all know it.
The piccolo equivalent going toe to toe with the main villain is ALWAYS hype as shit.
See: Piccolo vs Imperfect Cell, Piccolo vs 17

To me they look too "grr look at me I'm evil" in comparison to the visor which betrays no emotion

I thought he stopped doing smbz because he wanted to make money off furry footpaw fetish porn instead and eventually years down the line Nintendo gave him a C&D.

And that c&d was 3 or so years ago, surprised he's still making remakes

Episode 1 basically mashes the old episodes 1 and 2 together, I expect similar pacing for the subsequent episodes, especially since we're getting images of the new Koopa Bros in previews for episode 2 of the reboot.

As cool as dimentio would be in the series, I feel like stylistically he just wouldn’t fit, since his sprites are so high quality and large, compared to the Gameboy Advanced era sprites of the main heroes. It just wouldn’t look right, and making his own sprites would just serve to make him look ugly in comparison to his original look, just look at goombella.

He doesn't actually like drawing the kink related shit, it just makes the most money fastest.

Pretty much what said, Axem Rangers didn't have any good sprites for an action series like this so he just made his own edits from other sprites.

>Heh, it's good to be back

mark's a cool dude. cant remember how i ended up adding him on msn, but id ask him some questions about animating and he'd end up sending me macromedia flash over that ass file sharing msn had lol

got no stories to tell or anything, since it was long ago and we didn't talk much

>It's likely some DBZ style state-of-mind thing.
Yea I imagine if there'd ever be any reason for it stated it'd probably be this
>The Axem rangers weren't able to use it at all on their own
Yea but I was saying it was dumb how they can just plug that shit into their ship with no prior knowledge and it works, everytime some sort of technology utilizes chaos emeralds in the Sonic Universe that technology has to be designed around the Chaos Emerald, again nitpicky and honestly doesn't matter compared to other things that should be fixed like character dialogue but just something I noticed
>and it took Mecha Sonic a relatively long time to power up off of four of them, implying that there's a toll on your body.
I think that was just for flare
Good point

Anyone else thinks reviving SMBZ is a bad idea? It was fun when I was young. But nowadays, its just the cringiest fanfic.

The fights were the only good thing; they were ahead of its time.

Mark's burnout on the original series had several factors that aren't included this time around:
>Shitty job
>Writer trying to hijack the series (this one is also why episode 7 has so much dialogue)
>Depression
>Working solo on the series
Heck, depression is why it took four years to work on episode 2.
But he's in a much better place now mentally.
He doesn't have to deal with mistreatment from said job anymore, he has a team working under him, but he has creative control over the series, and he's seeing a therapist.

Alvin says Episode 3 is going to delve more into Sonic's backstory.
