Do you prefer Amy's classic design or her Sonic Adventure redesign?

[Anonymous No.9111458]

>>9111445
For some reason nobody will openly admit that the classic design is not only worse, but a bad desidn in general purely from a color perspective. She doesn't look good with green and orange. If the color of her dress was similar to the modern design, with a red white and pink scheme, I'm sure the classic design would be much better. The Modern design however has a better hairstyle, she's literally way cuter. The only thing holding the modern design back is her eye color. It should be more teal-ish like Rouges

The main beef I have with Amy's modern design is that I'm colorblind and the red of her dress looks way to similar to Knuckles' color theme, and obviously Sonic Team / Sega wanted each member of the "core" cast to represent a different color. Classic Amy has a good color scheme for people like me who need a greater contrast. Modern Amy looks like she's wearing a weird bodysuit-dress thing to me. If you're going to redesign her, at least keep her skirt a separate piece of clothing so that it doesn't blend in.

[Anonymous No.9111948]

>>9111445
I prefer her Adventure/Modern design over her Classic design by quite a wide margin, especially since she was essentially a pink version of Sonic, with an odd color scheme in her clothers too, but now her spines are much more unique and her clothes also have a color scheme that's easier on the eyes in both her Adventure/Modern look and her Boom look, which probably had the best writing for Amy aswell, at least on the TV show.

I don't see why that is, afterall this is a board dedicated to retro video games, and Sonic is a retro video game icon, whether you like it or not. Having threads about the franchise here makes sense.

[Anonymous No.9112342]

In her 1993 vidya debut, she was Rosy the Rascal before they renamed her Amy Rose (and said her name was always Amy Rose and "Rosy" was just a nickname), then renamed her again as just Amy sometime later then Rosy was retconned as a separate, evil-twin sort of character in the Archie comics in 2008.
I didn't even know she was in Sonic Adventure at all.

[Anonymous No.9112470]

>>9112342
Her real name was always Amy, though. "Rosy the Rascal" only showed up as her nickname in her Japanese Sonic CD manual profile and then Sonic the Fighters before being dropped entirely. In the manga series she originated from, she was just known as Amy and later got the surname Rose around or after Sonic CD's release. If anything, Rosy the Rascal was a short-lived attempt at retrofitting her into the usual "x the y" naming scheme.

[Anonymous No.9112475]

Modern Amy for sure. She definitely has a bubblebutt and superior thighs. Classic Amy looks too much like a filthy loli.

[Anonymous No.9112676]

>>9112470
She'll always be Rosy to me after reading about her in some magazine or other in 92-93. EGM, I think. They explicitly called her "Rosy the Rascal." Coulda sworn it was in the manual, too, but I just checked and they call her Princess Sally in there (lolwut).

As for her "name was always Amy," well yeah, I said as much. Still Rosy to me. FWIW, she's even rose-coloured so of course, her name being "Rosy" just kinda stuck with me.

Yeah, that's the North American manual. European manual does indeed call her Amy though. "Princess Sally" is another short-lived name brought to us by someone at Sega of America who thought Sally was Sonic's only love interest. It was abandoned by the PC port, where they go back to calling her Amy.

That's the thing, despite being a fashion over there, that aesthetic never quite resonated with us westerners, we had a lot more to choose from, and to be honest, Amy's red dress felt much more likely to be on the street than the green shirt/orange skirt combo, same with Rouge metalhead clothing and sports outfit

That piece is probably c.1993/1994 since Amy had a pretty different design at the beginning of the manga, and her color flipped from brown to blonde before settling on pink. Vector is actually the second-oldest conept of Sonic's recurring anthro-friends, not Amy. He was planned to first appear as part of the "Sonic the Hedgehog Band" in the original game, but time constraints and cartridge space led to them being scrapped pretty late in development - Naoto Ohshima was working on animations of Sonic break-dancing to the band playing the game's music as part of a unique sound test screen, but Yuji Naka decided to make room for the iconic "SEGA" sound from the commericals instead. The band ended up making a minor appearance in a separate, one-shot manga promoting the Japanese release, where Sonic was a lead singer (similar to how he's depicted in the 8-bit credits). The band was also apparently going to appear in SegaSonic Bros., but their graphics are unused in an unreleased game. Coincidentally, Amy ended up being a secret dancer in Chaotix's sound test.

I always found it interesting that Amy lowkey has had the biggest changes of Sonic's friends.
>Manga: Amy is Nikki's (Sonic's) sweet, loving, stable girlfriend.
>1992(?) concept: According to this image, she's a highschool cheerleader.
>1993: Amy Rose is Tails' age and her crush is a precocious one. She believes her love is destined by her Tarot cards, something rarely brought up later.
>1996: She's randomly given a comical toy hammer thing out of hammerspace in a fighting game spinoff, which somehow became her trademark weapon in future appearance. Last appearance of alternate "Rosy the Rascal" name used for early game appearances, but it later got used for her crazed counterpart in Archie.
>1998-2001: Amy is aged up since her last appearance and living by herself in a human city. She tries to reconnect with the old gang after running into Sonic but she tends to get into all sorts of hijinx. Despite that, she's got a big heart and gives it her all anyway, and is trying to be more independent.
>2002: Suddenly she's a speed character who can roll and stuff with no explanation, but I'm sure this is a one-time unlock that'll have no repurcussions whatsoever.
>2003-2006,2010: Amy is a freakish obsessed Sonic fangirl stalker who constantly chases after Sonic and tries to get her to marry her and has gotten faster due to her training herself to catch Sonic, she occasionally has vestiges of her old caring personality but is blind-sighted and impatient when it comes to Sonic, Cream is also pretty much her sidekick for some reason.
>2008-2009: This is toned down considerably and the player can actually have Sonic return her feelings somewhat, and apparently it's canon that he accepted a date but she screwed up a chance by hammering him when she thought he ditched her.
>2011+: Amy is actually a good friend of Sonic's, but they'll occasionally play into the "oblivious crush" angle for a gag or two. She's more self-aware and their relation is more "will they or won't they" now.

[Anonymous No.9115568]

>>9115164
Canonical. Archie even had a mjnor story arc where she wished upon a Chaos Emerald or something for it. She's still not quite "highschool" age like she was planned at one point if you go by the numbers, but the character ages never really meant much sense. I don't think animal ages are supposed to 1:1 with humans. Pretty much every Sonic character under the age of ten is obviously a kid, and every Sonic character over the age of ten is basically a young adult. I daresay that Tails is practically equivalent to a teenager considering the gap between him and younger characters like Charmy and Cream.
>>9115186
An armadillo was one of the pre-hedgehog concepts, but it's never been confirmed that Mighty intentionally called back to that idea. I think the armadillo concept art was found and it looked nothing like him. General concensus seems to be that it's a coincidence since an armadillo easily comes to mind for an animal that rolls into a ball.
>>9115208
One of the few things that Origins brought us was very small snippets of R2. This isn't fully translated from what I can tell, but it looks like Amy was supposed to fall down the underground ruins(?), and she would've had a more reserved role until she gets kidnapped and then rescued in R7 (Stardust Speedway), where she gets infatuated with Sonic after rescuing her. She -might- have also had a gameplay role in R2 and acted sort of like Tails. When R2 was canned, her role was split between R1 and R3 (&R8?).

[Anonymous No.9119789]

>>9118992
My inference back in the Dreamcast days was that, as a Station Square urbanite, Amy grew up around human society and so she took on more human traits than her fellow hedgehogs, most notably fashion. I excused Tikal because her father also wore clothes and that implied it was a mark of high rank in her society, and Rouge because she's literally a government agent that reports to the human president. By the time Cream and Vanilla were introduced, it became quite clear that for whatever reason Sega and/or Sonic Team insist that females be clothed and males not be. Doesn't it give the impression that females would somehow be more exposed unclothed than males? Do males have, like, retractible genitals that females don't? Stranger still, >>9117983 Sonic Adventure added PANTIES to Amy's design. Yet in Sonic Boom, Sticks wears nothing beneath her loincloth, and like you'd expect from any other Sonic anthro, it's just fur and nothing visible. Maybe the key to this is the weird lyric in Amy's theme, "The Sphinx looked so cute, I had to shave it," implying that she started to shave her body in places? Obviously I'm overthinking it, but I swear, it's the series' fault! If the next female anthro isn't at least half-naked, I'll go nuts! Seriously, my Sonic OC will grow nuts just to spite them!

Personally I like both.
Classic is a bit redundant, being a pink Sonic with Tails' hair bangs in somewhat random clothing. She's freaking cute though. I think it's eye shape which makes her so adorable.
Modern is more distinct, although red dress clashes a bit with Knuckles. Not as cute as Classic, but close enough, especially in original SA1. Since SA2 she looked kinda meh IMO, but then Unleashed gave as a great model which has been used since.
What bothers me between designs the most is nose. Classic is long Sonic-like, but then in modern it's got way shorter, more Knuckles-like. What happened?

>>9130367
There was a time when female characters wore less clothing, usually only enough to communicate to the audience that the character was indeed female. I remember Minnie Mouse wearing less than she does as well. The thing to really note here is that the character in question looked nearly identical to their male counterparts, with only the bit of clothing and mannerism to really make them distinct.

Such a character can't happen today though. Unfortunately, audiences just aren't innocent enough for that to fly. Characters like Sally Acorn is a prime example of why it's not a good idea, especially if your cartoon is meant to be family friendly.
Of course, with the internet as it is, this won't stop certain determined perverts, but just because rule 34 exists, doesn't mean one has to make their characters pander.

It's a shame Amy in Sonic 3 doesn't work when loaded into an Everdrive, it crashes the moment it tries to load the first enemy in the stage.

It simply feels sloppy and much less precise, especially in hacks that weren't recently updated, i.e. AiS2 and S3&A.
AiS1 and S2PE are better, but considering the difference in how physics work giant steps ends up being less spammable and hammer jumps end up being too high without much work. Also hammer got a weird frame data (or is it the way the enemy hitboxes work?) and isn't as effective against bosses + it doesn't work with diagonal springs.

I just separate the two now like with all modern era. Anime Amy works for the shonenshit era of Sonic, but classic works for the fantastical feeling of classic era.

Why is Amy so densely designed compared to Sonic? Sonic's just the same shape with only shoes and gloves, same with Tails. She doesn't match, it's weird. She always looks like she's from a different thing next to them.

It really doesn't? Aw shit, that's a shame. Speaking of which, recently I was happy to get Sonic 2 Advanced Edit working on my Everdrive. Had a great time getting through the thing as Amy. She looks & plays exactly like her Amy in Sonic 3 counterpart.
Overall a great hack, highly recommended. On hardware you gotta start the game through level select though, as it crashes by usual means.

This looks really cool, I'm gonna have to put it on my Everdrive. Speaking of cool romhacks that work on real hardware, check out Sonic 1: The Next Level. It's only 3 acts long but it's the most impressive rom hack I've ever seen, Sonic or not

Old Sonic art has a unique feeling. It's very surreal and digital. I feels huge and unrealistic, but very distinct at the same time. I would describe it like cyber-psychedelia or dreamlike.

One of the worst things they ever did to Sonic was getting rid of this feel.

>Sonic Adventure added PANTIES to Amy's design.
There was definitely a purpose to this design choice - the leaked autodemo shows her dress physics were wildly windier, making it much easier to see pantyshots all the damn time. Sonic Team presumably had to tone it down because their testers kept cooming, which hindered testing, but by that point the damage was already done.

[Anonymous No.9145880]

>>9118992
For 2 main reasons
In character design its very important for you to convey the basic things of a character in the fastest way possible for the viewer, generally its important for the audience to know right away if a character is a female or male without needing a introduction and this can be portrayed in a varied different ways (one of the reasons why modern female characters that look like males are so easily forgettable), Sonic Team just choose clothes for girl characters because its the easiest way to convey it to an audience in a limited form.
And also so that the game can have more vast marketability on markets that dont have modern western sensibilities and don't accept naked girl characters.

[Anonymous No.9145892]

>>9143531
I really did not appreciate this look when I was younger. I feel kind of blind thinking about it now.
I think it fits much better than the psuedo realism in some of the 3d games, though I understand why the devs went in that direction.

It would be nice to have a later Sonic game with the abstract look and 90s house music, but that'd likely come out feeling cynical to some.

[Anonymous No.9147141]

This guy knows what's up. The classic design is a clash of colors and in need of work, mostly on the dress. The new hair style for Adventure was a good change too. Generally they made her look less like Pink Sonic.

>silent Sonic characters are best Sonic characters

>>9112108
Nothing on it's own, it's a matter of context. Classic Amy has big blocks of color with little to bring them together, and a LOT of colors besides. If her skirt was a plaid pattern with elements of green and blue, or her shoes were green, it would bring the design together a lot better. Even small shit like changing her hair style to the same as modern Amy's is a big improvement.
>>9123891
This outfit unironically more coordinated than classic Amy's, lol

[Anonymous No.9147167]

Why do people hate the idea of "just pink Sonic" when Shadow just "Black Sonic with red stripes"

The appeal of Shadow is that he's literally edgy Super Sonic. The appeal of classic Amy is that she's girl Sonic. As a literal fan girl over Sonic, this works. Modern Amy just comes off like anime girl weebs fall for and her psycho behavior in the mid 2000s doesn't help with that.

>I can't speak for anyone else, but I despise Shadow.
Ironically, neither can I anon. But while I think design wise is rather overrated in some ways, both Amy and Shadow have two things in common, the first is their designs have a purpose to be the way they once were, and the second is their personality is why they are so overrate-able. I don't like the complex background of Shadow because it's peak anime retardation, but then again I guess that explains why people don't like classic amy's backstory reasons as to her pink Sonic look. Design wise while samey I don't mind Shadow and I do like Classic Amy more because it's cuter than modern. Maybe it's also do to them once pushing her to be sex symbolable which puts me off to the idea. We already have Rouge, and she makes the most sense with that concept if we are just sticking to gameverse.
