Yeah, that'll do. Cheers.
Re: GHZ Museum/Encyclopedia fact checking & ect. thread
Well thank god that got straightened out.
Hey, while we're discussing inconsistencies, there's something I've just noticed and haven't seen mentioned before. In Shadow the Hedgehog's The Last Way stage, you can defeat the Black Arms, charge the hero gauge and use Chaos Control to proceed through otherwise insourmountable obstacles, and also charge the dark gauge by blowing stuff up. The thing is, Black Doom took all the Chaos Emeralds with him in the previous cutscene, so how is Shadow still capable of using Chaos Control and Chaos Blast then?
Maybe Tails gave him one of those handy fake emeralds from Adventure 2? But he was paralyzed due to Doom's gas, wasn't he?

Spoiler: that first emerald in Westopolis doesn't do anything, there's just not enough enemies to kill in order to fill up the gauge up to that point

You guys have played shadow the hedgehog?

I introduced Mr. Shadow the Hedgehog disk to Mr. Microwave a long time ago.

He's able to do his Chaos Control-based moves in Sonic Battle without any Emerald, saying its because of his love for Maria or some melancholy crap. Maybe it was that?
Re: GHZ Museum/Encyclopedia fact checking & ect. thread
Well, I bet he just get chaos energy by eating rings...
Re: GHZ Museum/Encyclopedia fact checking & ect. thread
Remember, the Biolizard can use Chaos Control as well without Chaos Emeralds. Also, in that same game, when Rouge is trapped in the vault on Prison Island and Shadow comes to her rescue, he's actually "activating" Chaos Control mid-run to get them out of there faster.
By this, we can conclude that those behind Project Shadow created and perfected Chaos Control early enough so that they implanted the ability into the prototype; Prof. Gerald, being the head of this research and development, therefore had no trouble implanting it into the more streamlined version of the Ultimate Life that we know as Shadow the Hedgehog.

Also, in the scene right before The Last Way, Black Doom speaks as if the Emeralds aren't necessary for Chaos Control itself, just make it more powerful:
The Emeralds amplify the space-time control powers of Chaos Control.

New info that clarifies why Naka quit Sega after Sonic 1's release: http://www.sega-16.com/feature_page.php ... 0Institute
Yuji Naka's departure from Japan has been an issue of controversy over the past two decades. It was speculated that he left because he was unhappy with his financial compensation, especially after the success of the first Sonic title. Cerny clarified the situation to us via email about how the famed programmer arrived at the STI. "After the first Sonic shipped," Cerny details, "he quit. He was tired of working at Sega. One big issue was that even though Sonic was immediately a big hit, he got a lot of grief for having missed the schedule (he took fourteen months rather than ten, I believe) and head count (total head count was 4.5 people rather than three, I believe). I think he also felt unappreciated on many levels, including financially. I believe his base salary at the time was about $30,000, though he did get bonuses."
Though he was largely responsible for the greatest success Sega had ever had, Naka still made the decision to leave the company that had been his home for years. Even with his new-found recognition, things weren't going the way he expected. "This was the summer of 1991," Cerny continues. "I'd been setting up and running the Sega Technical Institute, so I was in Japan quite a bit. I was shocked to hear he'd left, so I found out where he lived and dropped by. His apartment was in a rather dingy building, but it was perfect for him because it was just a few minutes walk from the office. At any rate, I heard his long list of issues and started thinking about how to resolve them. And of course financial was part of that." Thus, four months after Sonic's debut, the acclaimed programmer agreed to join his friend at the STI.

And then later Naka backstabbed the Sonic 2 team, right?

To be fair, Sonix X-treme didn't look all that hot anyway.
Also, I wouldn't really call what he did to the X-treme team as "back-stabbing" as much as falsely accusing of them of something they didn't do.

Re: GHZ Museum/Encyclopedia fact checking & ect. thread
I think Arcade was more talking about how he packed up and moved back to Japan to make Sonic 3 because of communication issues with the american artists and the clashing art styles between the japanese and american art. To an extent, he was right and definitely made the right call when you look at Sonic 2 and S3&K's graphics.
Re: GHZ Museum/Encyclopedia fact checking & ect. thread
Didn't they make Sonic 3 in the states, except in an office isolated from most of the american STI staff?
Re: GHZ Museum/Encyclopedia fact checking & ect. thread
I'm actually not sure at this point. But I'm pretty sure Naka stuck a "NO AMERICANS" sign on the door.
Re: GHZ Museum/Encyclopedia fact checking & ect. thread
So are the forums chugging like molasses for anybody else today, or what?
