Please Stop Adding Drop Dash

[Just Holding W]

Not every Sonic game needs this obnoxious ability. The amount of times I've wanted to quickly jump right after landing only to see that I've been forced to use the drop dash is insane.

It doesn't even work that well in Modern Sonic games.

They could have had generations on console like I did I only have the og generation because I bought a sonic anniversary bundle years ago that included all games that were out at the time.

Personally I think Sega should move homing attack back to the jump button and put drop dash and bounce where homing attack is.

Then stop holding the jump button in mid air

Read the post and learn how to comprehend what I'm saying please. No where in my post did I say I was holding the jump button in mid air.

bro that's how the drop dash works, if you're activating it by accident it means you're holding the button, if you don't hold the button you won't activate it. there's nothing to comprehend here

Sonic fans try not to complain about new features and content challenge (impossible)

Wtf "content challenge" am I complaining about? There is no challenge in using the drop dash, all it does is hinder you as Modern Sonic for reacting fast.

Generations isn't even a difficult game, so not sure what challenge you're even talking about.

It's a phrasal template used to call attention to someone or a group's tendency to act a certain way. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/x-challenge-impossible

The issue is that video games for a long time now have the character jump higher depending on how long you press jump button for. I tend to hold the jump button for a lot longer than I should, so platforming in Sonic games becomes a nightmare due to the way I just play games.

Yeah, and I am not holding down the jump button in midair. I am tapping it right before landing to quickly jump back up. Once again, re-read the original post as I never said I was holding down the button.

Gotta assume this is some new tiktok zoomer term used to belittle legitimate complaints. In other words, I don't care lil bro.

It's been a meme for years, tf you talking about?

[GrimAtrament]

okay been playing generations how did you manage to get the drop dash to trigger while holding A? i have to press a again and hold to drop dash.

[Scrapjack]

By mashing buttons like crazy then blaming the game for your wrong inputs

Idk why they keep adding Dropdashes without a freaking Spindash but I'm not complaining since it gives modders something to work with to create true Spindashes. Just look at Sonic Frontiers' Legacy Spindash mod. That thing's great.

I would love it if Sega ditched the Slide in favor of the Spindash (and I'm talking an actual Spindash) and nerfed the Boost in some way, maybe like Frontiers in which it doesn't deal damage (let it keep a toned down version of it's aura tho.) Dropdash would be midair Spindash.

Though there still needs to be a Stomp, maybe they could use X for Slide/Stomping. So you'd use a Spindash to attack, a Boost to gain burst speed (also make the meter tight) and a Slide to slide under things or attack if you want.

Anyways this is my compromise between Adventure and Boost gameplay :).

Frankly I agree, while it hasn't messed me up *that much* as modern sonic (at least so far) the times it *has* messed me up don't make up for the times I have found the drop dash useful as modern sonic, which is literally never. Modern sonic has boost, which while technically on a meter, is so easy to gain it might as well be infinite. the drop dash seldom serves a purpose when boost does everything it can and more. It also doesn't help much that the level design of each zone isn't built with it in mind.

I'm fine with drop dash being on Classic Sonic, as that's his new signature move since Mania. It really gives Classic more freedom when on the move so you can gain lots of speed on a dime.
What I'm not fine with, however, is Sonic Team adding Drop Dash to modern as well. Just a pointless addition when you have boost ready to go in one button press.
Sure, drop dash can be helpful when you don't have any boost left, but who's going to run out of boost in generations?

Having played the Sonic Generations remaster with the Legacy Controls as that's what I'm used to, I never had any issues with the way the drop dash was handled in this game. In fact, I didn't even know it was in the game at all until I saw others point out the fact that it's there.

With Legacy Controls, the drop dash is on the same button as the homing attack and air dash, and will only trigger if you're holding the button after triggering an air dash. You can also let go of the button before you land to cancel the air dash.

I do agree that it's a pointless addition to the remaster, but that's only because of how I barely got any actual use out of it whatsoever.

I would absolutely hate it if they did this.
While the spin dash and/or somersault can let you squeeze under tight spaces similar to the slide, it completely breaks the pace of the game even when executed properly as the move itself either slows you down or requires you to come to a complete stop just to pull off. The slide rewards fast reactions by keeping the flow going without slowing you down if timed correctly.

Are you aware you can just give the button a tap to curl-in? The slide ALSO slows you down, so I'm seeing no downsides to re-introducing this iconic move in the way proposed?

I like it and it's awesome if you try to freestyle with it, especially in modern.

So I can only say...... Just don't use it? There's no penalty and it's not even promoted to use. It's just for fun. Like, you have to genuinely hold the button down until you land to even have it work. Not sure how you can drop dash on accident.
