Classic Sonic is charming and wholesome and looks much more like a little animal that can roll into a ball. NuSonic looks like a lanky smarmy tryhard that listens to Limp Bizkit and never shuts up with corny lingo that was outdated 20 years before he first spoke. Shadow is a cringey gun carrying edgelord who swears for no reason, has a human girlfriend who is murdered by the government, and only appeals to the cringiest sperglords alive. Metal meanwhile is just a cool robot. I miss the simple times when tiny animal mascots didn't talk and engage in retarded emo soap operas.

Sonic didn't ski until the third game which was after Jaleel White voiced him on the cartoon the year after the 80s ended in 1992.

The classics have distinct surrealist fantasy environments that are beautiful and iconic. This is lost in NuSonic’s mess of cityscapes, realistic textures, and environments devoid of style. Green Hill would not look better if you replaced the checkered ground with an HD dirt texture.

Shadow is a wigger.

Also the only good design choice they made for the new Sonic design was giving him Soap shoes in SA2. The old shoes look like clown shoes in the new design.

I meant something more substantial than the included filter, like ReShade. A consistent waterfall would be nice. Did Australia have different television standards that made the waterfall not work? Did Taxman play on emulator so much he forgot how it looked with the console and period tv?

What are you going on about?

When i was a kid sonic was cool and everybody loved chili dogs, cause the cartoon. But, it wasnt until dreamcast sonic did we get gay fury design with a gay voice making tails into a soft homo transvestite and all the dumb characters with shitty scripts, sound like a bad christian saturday morning tv show ( bible man). Half controllable 3d garbage with bad camera angles that cause control issues. Just go straight and jump when it tells you, basically.

Advance 1's a great game. 2's rough, but I like it -- when it's not suddenly flinging you into sudden death without any warning, it's immensely satisfying to play. 3's kinda shit, but I at least like the music, and I like the idea of the level design (where it scaled back the speed a little to focus on platforming, shame Sonic handles a bit weird and a lot of the stage design just sucks, and the game is actually fucking full of bottomless pits).

Sonic was always more about pinball physics than brainless speed. The marketing focused on speed but the games did not. Boost and Adventure are not classic Sonic logically translated into 3D, they're gotta-go-fast simulators with a sonic skin. Instead of physics-based platforming you just spam homing attack. Instead of earning speed through maintaining momentum as you run and bounce through an obstacle course, you just push up and hit max speed in 1 second, then proceed to watch some auti-pilot bullshit until it's time to mash homing attack again.

I've never heard anybody give Shadow shit for trying to be original, it's mostly because he's the ultra-edgelord (see: the abomination that is his standalone game).
Same for Amy - nobody shits on her for being a pink Sonic, but because she's this annoying furry with a high-pitched voice.
