How classic Sonic works. A summary thread. Slope physics and collision will be explained as briefly as possible. Sonic games work with 3 methods of collision. Hitboxes, Tiles, and Solid Objects. These will be explained separately. #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicPhysicsGuide

Focused would be slightly more concise videos in any order, which focus on specific concepts which can benefit from a visual explanation, likeeee "How Sonic Lands On Ceilings" for example. More casually watchable but it might be less educational and without laying a foundation.

Very rough examples:. Comprehensive would be a full visual counterpart to the physics guide, covering EVERYTHING to the finest detail. The videos would be in the best order to teach everything and lay a good foundation. A video could = an entire SPG page!.

Naturally, I want to cover everything🤓 but I thought I'd ask what sounds better!.

Of course, any approach could eventually cover everything. Or you can suggest how you'd personally prefer it to be formatted.

Conclusive! But which approach is better:.- A comprehensive video series covering every single aspect of the physics guide visually. Every mechanic, value, and collision. OR.- Focused videos, on the aspects of Sonic collision/physics that would benefit most from visuals.

Imagine: Sonic Physics Guide but in video form, fully explained in detail, Pannenkoek style. I think it'd really help people in creating a 2D Sonic (or any 360 platformer) framework from scratch, and also be interesting generally too. Thoughts? Considering it ~.

If you try landing on the corners of objects in the prototype, you might still notice *some* slight slipping if out too far over the edge, but this has a different cause and isn't the same issue, just a slightly similar result.

I do now believe the object edge slipping was a deliberate choice, likely to solve an unknown problem. It just had some unfortunate side effects and made objects less consistent with terrain.

Funfact: This doesn't work in the prototype as the landing-on-object slipping behaviour wasn't a thing.

RT @ArtisIan_: Oh gosh. I was playing 3D Sonic 1 on my 3DS when I saw this…and so I tried it. It works…XDD

There's around only 1 pixel you can to be standing on either side to make it work. You'd be able to do it more easily if the corners of the terrain weren't so close by, as the terrain doesn't allow for any "slipping" like objects do.

Have you done this or seen this? I'm not sure how well known this is, I imagine it's been done before.

You can SLIP PAST the first puzzle in Marble Zone. You do this by jumping right next to the Spike Trap because Sonic's position has to be directly over an object when you jump on it otherwise you won't land on it #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicPhysicsGuide
