Modern Momentum Spindash

By MSCLeap75
   

This mod creates the spindash for Modern Sonic as well as momentum-based rolling which can be enhanced by the boost. The idea was to imagine a scenario where Sonic Team didn't disregard rolling and spindashing for Sonic Unleashed and figured out how to make it work with boosting in 3D gameplay like how the Rush games made all of that work in 2D gameplay. The rolling replaces the slide of Vanilla Generations, and you can potentially gain lots of momentum when rolling down slopes. You can perform the spindash like the classic games as well as the Adventure games. I tried making the rolling controls to be similar to the Adventure games, but they're far from perfect especially since there are some areas where it can get wonky. Feedback on the controls is much appreciated.

Controls(Xbox controller):

  • Rolling = While on the ground, press B or press/hold the left stick(makes rolling easier when boosting).
  • Uncurl from rolling = While rolling, press B, Y, or the Right Stick. Quickstepping, drifting, or jumping can uncurl Sonic.
  • Classic Spindash = Just hold B while not moving on the ground to make Sonic crouch, then repeatedly tap the RT or LT to enter the spindash state and rev it up the spindash. Release B to dash off.
  • Adventure Spindash = Hold RT or LT followed by holding B to enter the spindash charge state. Release B to dash off.
  • Adventure Spindash Spamming = Constantly pressing B while holding RT or LT.
  • Spindash aiming speeds = hold RB or LB for slow turning speed. Push and hold down the left stick to aim fast.
  • Reset Adventure Spindash charge speed = Press Y to reset the charge speed while in the spindash charge state. Can hold y to keep the charging speed low.
  • Slowing down while rolling = Hold B for a while to slow down. In 2D sections, you can move the leftstick in the opposide direction to slow down rolling.

Also special thanks to Skyth for his help/guidance in utilizing the Blue Blur Api to make this mod possible. And also special thanks to ffastt for allowing me to use his rolling mod(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rppmwXNVv0) to replace the slide animation, as well as playtesting my mod to help me fix lots of issues.

definitely a good concept a bit hard to get the hang of and the level design in generation sadly does not really allow for this to be used very often in a practical sense

I think the Unleashed levels are a bit better for using this mod since they're longer and have more slopes. Also using it with the Windmill Isle act 5 is probably the best.
