Loving the new Blog style pages-Information on "Nazo Unleashed Part 3!"

Posted by Chakra-X - July 17th, 2007


Bigass thanks to Newgrounds for this sexy revamp of Newgrounds. Yall never stop trying to improve :D!

Now...This blog is very helpful to yall that keep up with my movies. "Sonic: Nazo Unleashed" is still scheduled for a Summer release. Chance are, around August, depending how much frames must be drawn for the final scene. Right now, I have to finish this combo of Nazo's, and then there will be less strenous drawing until the last final battle. It's so freaking close, that I'm starting to get impatient.

Regarding the red Hedgehog, that his "Perfect Nazo". Originally, I had it as "Chaos Nazo", but "Perfect" makes much more sense after seeing the effects of the chaos emeralds with "Perfect Chaos"


Comments

Hi. I am a huge fan of your work in flash. Especially concerning your "Nazo Unleashed" miniseries. I have a few questions concerning the first two movies.

1: in the scene where sonic first transforms into supersonic, what voice clip of Ryan Drummond did you use for when he shouted. I can't recognize from which game that clip comes from.

2: in the Dark Sonic scene, the theme from Devil May Cry 3 plays, called "Now you're really crossed the line." that title doesn't show up in the DMC3 OST, as it is only labled through what level it appeared in. In what level or event did that song appear in?

3: I noticed a lot of small STH references throughout both movies. (EX: Knuckles heat fist from SA1 and Shadow's Chaos Spear.) Did you have to do a lot of research to make this movie?


Lastly, for the third part, I'd avoid fusing sonic and shadow like you did in the original version. It's a cool idea, but I don't think it really worked all that well last time. Perhaps it'd be better to make a new and original form for either sonic or shadow. If you did use Shaddik, (I can't remember what the fused version of shadow and sonic was called) then I guess that's okay too.

Thank you, I'll be glad to address these questions

1) That was a "dying" clip of Sonic from Sonic Heroes, when you are hit without rings (or when you fall..I forget). I used GoldWave to lengthen it to what you heard in the movie.

2) I used a remixed version of that song. It is the long played in the secret video you unlock showing "super combos" or something, in Devil May Cry 3.

3) THANK YOU for noticing these references. Those are the things I hope sonic fans can catch on to. While I did know all of these attacks existed, and I went back and played the game to see how it was done, so I could turn it into an anime like attack. The Heat fist (I forget the exact name), for example, started with me using it in Sonic Adventure DX. I looked at the purple energy balls, the aura, and the execution and turned it into the attack in Part 1.

Sonic and Shadow still do fuse..But it's a hell lot better. No quick victory and what not. You actually get to see what he can do. That's all I can say about that :X.

I do not really like to make up new forms for new characters, only stretch them (Dark Super Sonic, for example, was from Sonic X. Shadic is a rational "what if" idea). But I guarantee you fusion will make more sense this time around.

I agree with you, this upgrade to newgrounds rocks!
I can't wait to see part 3! :D

I cant say that I like the whole Sonadow fusion thing too much. I think that you should give Tails and Knuckles the spot light for a couple of minutes with their own forms (Do some research in the Archie Comics: Sonic the Hedgehog and you'll see that they already have their own super forms. Hyper Knuckles and Turbo Tails.) And could you distort Turbo Tails's and Hyper Kuckles's voices to make them sound more powerfull. Since there never was any voice actors for either characters you can use your own voice actors for them. It would be quite intertaining to see Knuckles and Tails kick some ass for once!!!! Perhaps make Tails the "Chosen One." like how he is in the comic books and make him the only one who can defeat Nazo. It would make a lot of sense instead of just trying to pull a DBZ move. I understand that you're almost done with this one already. Perhaps in the future you can make a Sleekadoom flash (Sleekadoom is an unused character that was originally going to be a clone of both Shadow and Sonic combined created by Eggman whom trys to kill Eggman but gets frusterated and leaves and attacks Sonic and friends for the mere pleasure of it.) But if you do make such a flash then may I reconmend that Sonic and Shadow get their asses kicked, alot. And Turbo Tails (Make Hyper Tails more Spawn like to make him more bad ass.) and make Hyper Knuckles more poltergeist like (With the methods of attacking random targets with extreme amounts of power.) And let tails be the one to destroy Sleekadoom. Let him have the spot light for once.

Lol well I always preferred Sonic over anyone else, so I am a bit biased. :X

As for the movie...I can't confirm or deny anything you just said. Might spoil the ending.

The guy above has somewhat of a point, though I think giving Knuckles and Tails super forms at this point would be a little tough. There's only one set of Chaos emeralds after all. I always wanted to see Super Sonic being thrown into the sun, and emerging as SOLAR SONIC!!! That'd be sweet. But you're probably adding the finishing touches by now, so you probably don't have enough room in your movie to add anything else. But I liked your previous movies and I can safely say that I'll aprove of whatever you come up with in part 3.

Thanks for the input, but I think what I have now will most definitely please you guys. As for the comics, I never really got in to them and try to stick as close to the video game continuity as possible (minus Nazo and Dark Super Sonic)

Almost forgot, I noticed a really cool thing you did in the Dark Sonic scene in part 1. Instead of turning his skin black, you tinted it to very dark blue. that way, changing back to regular sonic seemed more natural. Very slick.

God it's worth it when people notice 'small' things like this. A person can say "AWESOME MOVIE" and I will be happy, but when they notice something I intentionally put in like "I like how you used the light speed attack as a fighting move", it makes it feel like they are Sonic fans and know what's going on.

Looking at both the origanal version and the current two parts of the new version, I can say that you have improved your videos. Heck, the first part even made it onto the Sonic Show! I came here to see what happened after the first part, and now I'm holding on for the final instalment.

I would think that if you did use Shadic, I would like to have it that Shadic goes into his Hyper form.

And finally, I like the starting bit with the 'Stage' thing, as well as the 'Rank A' near the end of the second one. I think that you should keep them running in other videos with Sonic and co. in them.

Heh heh, you can count on that for part 3, regarding the Rank thing.

And yeah, Shadic will be in his Hyper form. I think I will provide a small update now to tell a little what's up...

I wanted to show what Shadic looked like in his lower 2 forms, but I don't want to force it in.

eww, that "sexy" part makes me pewk, next time have something more sencible!

if you are too busy leave a animation for sonic shorts.
if a good idea.

( this is after i watched pts 1-3 ) i liked it, i really did, but there is ONE thing that does bother me a bit, its the fact that YOU are a good voice actor YET you dont have any other voice actors, or even voice acted the other characters. it would make it sound more original then just using lines from games and movies/ tv shows. also it lets you be more free with the script instead of being restricted to phrases. and also i liked the name Shadic, but i think you could have gone with Shade to make it sound cool. anyways if your looking for a voice actor dont hesitate to ask. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK XD

I also noticed that Hyper Knuckles' and Super Tails' transformations are extremely accurate... right down to the last bird (forgot what those things were called) Great job!!!

P.S. It woulda been cool if you coulda fit Chaos Knuckles and Turbo Tails in there (they are from the comics)! XD
