Skins by MotorRoach

It looks alright, I guess. Although I don't see why Sonic should obligatorily not have a buster when he's had swords and knight armors in the past.  

Really, I'm okay with both. If anything, buster Sonic is hilarious. It's like he got invited to the Megaman universe. Hell, there was even an official crossover in the Megaman Archie comics.

I do like his throwing frames better than the buster, but you can release the two as separate skins to please both sides.

The skin has been updated, as well a bit of the bot lines (thanks to a friend of mine). The new animation is pretty fancy, it specially fits when you are using the Ring Boomerang weapon.



It just looks awkward when using the Bass item, but not like it matters that much.

Get the skin with the new shooting animation here.

Mega Buster Sonic for those who like him being a Megaman.

Actually, it would be better if you renamed Buster Sonic so that it doesn't conflict with regular Sonic. I'm sure some people would like both. And, you should probably rename regular Sonic as well, since there's already a Sonic.

Try SonicTH and SonicBuster.

[MotorRoach]

I think it would feel more worth to rename Sonic with the Mega Buster into SonicBuster (or something like Sonic-Buster, Sonic-Alt) if I applied a Mega Buster to all of the frames. It wouldn't take long to do that, and it would make more sense for it being like that rather than the buster only appearing out of nowhere in the shooting frames. I'll do it after getting feedback on this idea.

Busterless Sonic will still be called Sonic, though.

[SmashTheEchidna]

The reason I said change "busterless" Sonic was because there is already a skin named Sonic. The two will end up conflicting eachother if someone tries to get both. (I'm waiting for the name-change for that very reason)

[MotorRoach]

Not willing to change his name unless enough people think it's a necessary change. In the meantime, just leave the Sonic skin you prefer in the skins folder while the other one stays out of the skins folder, because that's what I would do anyway. I can't imagine myself nor much people playing with two different Sonic skins that way.

Zip's been updated, Sonic now carries the mega buster on every animation now, and the mega buster Sonic skin has the name changed to Sonic-Buster, so both can be in the folder without any conflicting.



Gotta say that he looks kind of heroic when standing with the buster in a front view.

Fixed.

I think it's necessary, as the other Sonic skin that Gizmo mentioned is used very often.

I think it's necessary, as the other Sonic skin that Gizmo mentioned is used very often.

I agree with this as well. It's not very fair to force people to choose between one or the other.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Which is precisely why I brought this up.

I feel the need to point out that you can have as many skins with the same name as you want (e.g., my SMB1 Mario and Whoever-Made-SMB3-Mario's SMB3 Mario), and everything will still work.  It's when the skins share codes (The four-letter code used for skin programming) when issues pop up.

IN OTHER NEWS:
What's with all the cool new members making intelligent posts?  This is a pretty good first skin; much better than mine.  I applaud you.

[SmashTheEchidna]

But when it's asking if you want to replace the already existing Sonic.pk3 upon downloading, I think it's necessary to change the name.

[MotorRoach]

How about I call him Snoic?

Or Sonic-MM (as in Mega Man) since the intention was to make him Mega Man styled. I got this idea from some skins in the game such as Roll-Mobile and Bass-SCG.
