Grew up playing Sonic Heroes, and on the tutorial with Team Rose, Omochao had an annoying habit of repeatedly stopping me like on that hack. It didn’t bother young me because she fucking loved the game and now it’s my favorite video game but Christ, Caddicarus had a point:
“Whoever decided this voice was good enough to teach you how to play the game needed to be sectioned.”
@northern haste
I’ve seen fan-animated parodies of Omochao before, like in the “Sonic Shorts” series. (Which is almost like the Sonic-fan equivalent of “Ponies the Anthology,” but more focused on fan-animations.)
Yeah, some satires like that fall flat, or exaggerate too much.
@Beau Skunky
It probably would have been better as a animation then an actual hack.
To give another example are people getting doing it and parody confused some people wanted to do a parody of gritty reboots of children franchises by doing a R rated fan film which of course was more Grimm and gritty than the actual Hollywood reboot that was in early production at the time(power rangers) personally I don’t really think Power Rangers was a good pick to use for that
@northern haste
Indeed, as I said, because Omochao honestly wasn’t that bad, it comes off as more of a shallow-parody, or a troll-hack rather then an actual enjoyable hack, or parody.
At least, the gimmicks in other fan-hacks, were creative, like the one where you have to avoid collecting (onion) rings otherwise Sonic will get too comically fat, and slow. (I have a feeling that one is popular on DeviantArt.)
@Beau Skunky
That fan hack is kind a good example of people thinking that doing it and parody are the same thing( sometimes taking you into it worse than what they are parodying
You should watch “Teenagers react to Sonic 1.” They’re hilariously bad at the original Sonic.
Oh, this is the “Omochao” fan hack? The ironic thing is, in some actual official games you can actually still move even when omochao is talking so he wasn’t actually that much of a hinderance originally.
