Peak Sonic design

Second row is really the sweet spot. Saturn Sonic is nice too, but giant shoes are a bit too Megaman.

CD is the best
Its weird how Hesse looks similar but still just doesn't measure up.
I couldn't even tell you what it is. Maybe because the monoeye is less mono? The facial expression? Who knows

CD Sonic literally has no straight lines or hard edges while Hesse Sonic is mostly made up of them.
Same design, completely different execution.

Long limbs ruined Sonic

second is better

It seriously does do wonders to the design to just shorten the limbs a bit. He suddenly looks like this scrappy little shithead, and I love him.

i like the CG of the 06 renders. They've got a 2005 charm

God no. Among the worst Sonic designs. Disgusting.
Toei Sonic has yet to be topped as far as I'm concerned, but if we're referring to Modern only, then SA1 as he appears in-game is still the best.

fuck no Sonic looks like a 10 year old

06 is better than Heroes only because it stood a chance of being good. There is no fixing Heroes's gameplay style

He's a hedgehog.

he's a cartoon blue creature that slightly resembles a hedgehog

06 is the only time they ever tried to have that spike hair from the front look in 3D.

Yeah and it looks like shit with that design

This is peak Sonic, but movie Sonic is the most fuckable one.

CD looks better in every way.

if Sonic was faster and less stiff, if the spin dash was useful, if the homing attack didn't have a delay, if the colission detection had polish, if the load times mid stages didn't exist, and if the stages didn't rely on scripted events (automated loops/spring from spring, automated rails) then 06's Sonic stages would be fun

Based, this is second to CD for me

project 06 fixes a lot of the jank

What the fuck is that purple ugly thing on the right?

>hands come out of his "neck"
This is disturbing, how did i just notice this...

irrelevant character that appears in irrelevant games

That's Amy, and she's pink, are you color blind?

Is Amy really all that purple? Thought she was more pinkish

This is it.

06's gameplay has some decent qualities worth commending. Heroes's gameplay doesn't deserve a microbe of positive thought

That ugly purple thing is one of the best characters to ever grace this series.

I honestly like modern now, and more than classic at that. And I used to HATE the change back in the day. But I guess to put it short, classic is just bland to me. It is like an early prototype design where modern is a finished product that actually and accurately reflects Sonics personality, age, running, etc.

Replaced and made redundant by Rouge, cope

I miss the time when edgy teenagers would go around making their own sonic OCs

Assuming you are talking about Fang the Sniper, do not speak ill of my beloved son.

Heroes a has the best environments and presentation of its "era". That's all I'm willing to compliment it for.

Rogue has got to be the ugliest design ever.

>accurately reflects Sonics personality
His current personality as the quippy jokester maybe, meanwhile Classic fits the more serious silent hero with an attitude persona he was known for

We're in a better state than we were in a while ago.

Rouge is a great character, but she's nothing like Fang. They have completely different personalities, abilities, and she wasn't even a real treasure hunter or villain in her debut role, she was on GUN's payroll then too.

Fang is like a mix between Wario and Dale Gribble as a Sonic character.

Wasn't Fang featured in most of the fangames shown at SAGE 21'?

Rogue is an good-hearted agent and Fang is a merc who does whatever for cash/treasure.
Fang is basically Sonic's equivalent of Wario, character-wise.

Yeah, he's been showing up a ton in cool-looking fan games. It seems like the more creative a Sonic fan is, the more they like Fang. Taxman and Flick originally planned on putting Fang in Retro Sonic Nexus too.

oh yeah, the artists and composers from Heroes did their job well. It's the "game designers" who fucked up with that wretched gameplay style, masochistic level design and garbage bosses

CD is still the best for me. Hesse's version does a good job capturing it. If they wanted to stretch Sonic then they should've also updated the limbs not be so thin with gigantic hands.

Was it really what he was known for back then? In every incarnation where he speaks, since Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog, to the Sonic OVA, (so you can't tell me it's just an american thing) he's a jokey fun loving easygoing guy. The games just didn't have much of an opportunity to give him more than the bare minimum of personality back then.

I think Heroes is the most consistent in terms of having vocal themes of its "era" (if 06 is considered not to be in the same era).

Classic Sonic is designed to look like he can roll into a ball. Modern Sonic looks like he would have to contort himself into a ball.
