Player Two Start: An SNES-CD Timeline

[Unknown]

So, Austin avoids his neck injury?

Interesting...

Assuming the Montreal Screwjob still happens in TTL, he'll still be the top star of the company.

Oh, and Ric Flair nearly left WCW in 1998 due to differences with Bischoff; might Bischoff fire him ITTL?

BTW, Elton John doesn't update Candle in The Wind for Princess Diana's death (since that doesn't happen ITTL); this will have butterflies on the music chart...

Montreal Screwjob does still happen, the butterflies aren't big enough to affect how Vince McMahon does business. Not sure about what happens with Ric Flair yet though.

And the music chart is already having big butterflies from Tupac and Biggie surviving (no "I'll Be Missing You"), so yeah, this is another major change. It's likely that more than half of 1997's number-one songs IOTL will change.

 

[Golden Darkness]

I wonder how the lack of Diana's death will impact coverage of Mother Teresa's death. OTL she died about a week after Diana, but was practically overshadowed.

 

[Unknown]

Here's a suggestion for the Montreal Screwjob: when Bret Hart leaves, Owen Hart leaves the WWF, too...

That would have interesting butterflies, IMO.

Can't wait for September of 1997 (and the World Series in October; please have the Astros (or the Orioles) get in once, just once)...

 

[RySenkari]

Mother Teresa still dies at the same time as IOTL, though I don't think I'll be covering it in the September update. But yes, it gets much bigger coverage.

 

[eldandythedoubter]

The way I see Owen leaving is for the inevitable hart dungeon vs. Horseman feud, along with Jericho tagging with him.

Does Nack the Weasel, Bark the Polar Bear, Bean the Dynamite and Espio the Chameleon still appear in Sonic the fighter. If not who replaces teams. I know at least one character gets replaced by Corna the butterfly

Ry & Nivek will correct me if I'm wrong, but I presumed that Corona replaced the deleted character Honey the Cat.

Ever get the feeling that you're doing something you've done before? Eh, it's probably just my imagination.

 

[RySenkari]

All four of them appear in Sonic Fighters.

 

[woweed]

Could one of you guys with TV Tropes accounts update the page? PTS's page hasn't been updated since July.

 

[LightningLynx89]

Well glad to see Austin avoid having to avoid wrestling with a... BROKEN FREAKING NECK, oh it's true. It's true.

So who was replaced to make room for Cornoa or does sonic fighters have more then 8 playable characters

 

[RySenkari]

It has considerably more. It has 15 playable characters ITTL. Still not that great of a game, but it IS a bigger game.

 

[Goldwind2]

Is Mighty the armadillo Big the cat, Vector the corcodile Ray the Flying squaril honey the cat and Charmmy the bea in the game

 

[RySenkari]

Here's the full list of fighters in Sonic Fighters, 15 in all:

Sonic the Hedgehog
Tails
Knuckles
Amy Rose
Big The Cat
Corona the Butterfly
Dr. Robotnik
Espio the Chameleon
Fang the Sniper
Bean the Dynamite
Bark the Polar Bear
Vector the Crocodile
Mighty the Armadillo
Charmy the Bee
Zip the Antelope (original TTL, introduced in Sonic 4 as a minor animal character rescued during the game)

<snip>
Espio the Chameleon
Fang the Sniper
Bean the Dynamite
<snip>

So SEGA calls him that everywhere ITTL? His name doesn't get 'localized' to Nack the Weasel?

 

[Nivek]

yes goes with that(aka never played it till gamecube and just keeping it simple)

 

[Goldwind2]

Will Fang the sniper have more Major appernces or will he be reduce cammos post Sonic the fighters like he was OTL

 

[Miss Teri]

Espio the Chameleon
Fang the Sniper
Bean the Dynamite
Bark the Polar Bear
Vector the Crocodile
Mighty the Armadillo
Charmy the Bee
Zip the Antelope (original TTL, introduced in Sonic 4 as a minor animal character rescued during the game)

Some of these characters are famous in Sonic lore for being completely forgotten. (Excluding the Chaotix) Is that still true.

Well, there are still a few Sonic games yet to come soon, including SoniQuest and Sonic R, so I'm sure some of these guys will show up in at least minor roles.

BTW, this month saw the release of a GOOD version of Masters of Teras Kasi, a steampunk Star Ocean, a very successful and well received Saturn Ultima sequel, and a sequel to Dog Dash among many other games, and yet there's hardly any discussion of those and a ton of discussion of the roster of a mediocre Sonic fighting game. I love you guys.
