Knuckles was originally going to be given a Jamaican 🇯🇲 accent. I remember looking at the Sonic 3 & Knuckles guide book & seeing "yea mon" in the text for when he spoke. I am of Jamaican & Antiguan background - & I personally enjoyed this Caribbean representation of Knuckles. His shoes give off a Caribbean Rastafarian colour scheme with the red, yellow & green so it fits his character. He can also sound tough too with a Caribbean or an African accent. All he needs to be done is written well to convey the accent. Knuckles is a black inspired character - from his locks down to his shoes. People should not seat away from his roots being "black" inspired. Idris Elba did well voicing Knuckles & giving him a black tough American/British accent. It worked well - way better than the voice actors for Sonic Adventure 1, Sonic Heroes, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic Boom & others. Once he is written accordingly, the writers can bring out that personality wise through an excellent story or script

Hard pass on the French Blaze. She should have an Arabic or Indian accent. If any character was going to have a French accent, it would be Rouge due to her name and the French accent's association with sensuality but that Bronx-Latina accent you showed was perfect too. And despite what some people might say, Shadow doesn't strike me as "African American", but rather just a white emo kid. Here are some that come to my mind: Espio: HEAVY Japanese accent. Amy: Valley Girl accent. Big: Southern accent (think of Engineer from TF2). The Babylon Rogues: New York accent. Tails: Quaint British accent. Eggman: Slight German accent. Mephiles: VERY POSH British accent. Vector: African American Vernacular English (He has the N word pass but refuses to say it). Sonic: Surfer Dude accent.

Blaze always struck me as more Arabian with the gem on her forehead and the look of her palace. Rouge with a latina voice is an absolutely perfect fit, but i don't know sbout it being cannon. By that logic, Knuckles should be Aussie and Sonic would be more likely to be British. On an unrelated note, i knida like the sound of a British Sonic. I think it fits rather nicely. Also an Aussie knuckles would be pretty badass. Russian Shadow... I think it could work, it's just that the pre-existing example isn't a very good one.

[@nokiaespiritual]

The fact that most of the english-speaking people actually believe that the accent Knuckles should have it's from ANY part of Africa, renders me shocked. Knuckles' *TRIBU* it's inspired by both Mexican and Perubean culture. this isn't some obscure fact or anything like that, Takashi Iizuka has told the story of Sonic Adventure's development over and over again, he explicitly narrated how they traveled to Center/South America, took inspiration from it, and even use real-life photos as textures for the game. Even the pyramid we see in the center of the jungle, the one that opens the gates into the Lost World level, it's an exact replica of the Kukulkán's Pyramid, which it's LATINA Africans weren't the only ones who used spears, painted their faces, and built pyramids. In fact, their architecture and clothing doesn't even resemble Mexico/Peru. Knuckles is LATINO, not AFRICAN ¡POR AMOR A DIOS! (Muting answers btw, it's been 3 weeks of non-stop arguing, lol)

[@Chaos-om4oh]

He was originally based off of jamaican culture, with his colors, his dreads and apparently at one point was going to have a jamaican accent. In the Adventure series, he was associated with Mexico/Central America (considering Tikal was named after Tikal, Guatemala) AND also Black American culture, with his music being both jazz and rap from SA1 and SA2. So why can't he be a black latino?

[@jezd2223]

si concuerdo contigo en varias cosas, mas hay que recordar que no facilmente podrían haber mezclado diferentes culturas, knuckles siempre ha sido un personaje muy representado como afro-americano, y con sus dreadlocks y sus canciones de estilo rap y jazz esta inspiración se deja notar tanto como la latina

[@nokiaespiritual]

​@@jezd2223 Es innegable que tiene música intrínsecamente afro-americana, pero sus raíces, costumbres y sociedad perdida son mayoritariamente latinas. Después de todo, la música no es un argumento solido al momento de representar personajes en Sonic, por solo dar un ejemplo, el mismísimo Sonic ha sido representado con variadísimos estilos musicales, desde el Pop-Rock, hasta el J-rock, o incluso synthwave y hardcore. Si incluso el mismísimo protagonista de la franquicia no tiene un estilo de música definido ¿Por qué sería este un argumento sólido para establecer a un secundario como Knuckles? No lo veo válido, en mi humilde opinión.

[@nokiaespiritual]

@@Chaos-om4oh I don't think music it's enough of a representetion argument when it comes to the Sonic franchices, after all, Sonic itself, the main character, has been represented by different kind of music by both American and Japanese rock, synthwave, and even Hardcore. Knuckles has been represented by "generic adventurer" músic, rap, hiphop, synthwave, rock, jazz, and the echidna tribe was represented with simple percussion rhythms accompanied by choruses (Something that could be both Latino or African) Unlike the clothing and architecture, the music representation has never been as consistent.

i think it'd be cool to see accents for these characters, since sonic is a major media franchise yknow? if you're going to take inspiration from real cultures (see: maya, inca, aztec empires were very direct inspirations for the stuff on angel island), the least you could do is pay your respects to them! relatedly, making knuckles not blunt and ignorant, but just... unfamiliar with the cultural norms of his friends, both due to a different upbringing and social isolation

[@Pikmanipulator]

On the subject of British Knuckles, funnily enough, a channel called Adrenaline Dubs did an April Fool's dub of Issue 82 of the Fleetway comics, where they gave Knuckles a "roadman" accent. For those who don't know what that means, it refers to a Brit in the lower class who is ill-mannered, violent, and often wears sportswear and gold jewelry. I thought the accent actually fit Knuckles in a weird sort of way.

[@MattTOB618]

(My thoughts before seeing the video:) Personally, I think the most fitting characters to give accents (if they HAD to) would be Knuckles, Blaze, and Silver. Knuckles because he lives on a VERY remote island, Blaze because she lives in an ALTERNATE DIMENSION, and Silver because he's from so far in the future that dialects are bound to change/mix. I dunno what exact accents I'd give them, but they seem most fitting. (My thoughts after seeing the video:) You playing that clip of Jennifer Lopez convinced me that Rouge should have that accent. Other than that, I think Shadow could do well with a slight Japanese accent, another commenter made me realize that Blaze should have an Arabian-sounding accent (but not one-to-one since, again, she's from an alternate dimension), and my other opinions are unchanged.

I hope to see you continue these Sonic accent ideas in the future, because this was a fun video. Knuckles having a New Yorker accent could work, makes him sound pretty tough naturally. I remember seeing some odd Sonic factoid a long time ago that said originally they wanted Knuckles to speak with a Jamaican accent in the late 90s. Guessing, that might have been scraped with the unfortunate stereotype of portraying Knuckles like a Jamaican pothead. The Latina/Bronx angel for Rouge work good too. I could see her being cute and flirty one moment and switching on a dime to cursing someone out in a second. It would definitely give Rouge a more unique voice than just "flirty valley girl". Blaze as French is something I very really thought about, but it could really be solid for her if done right. Sure, I'm used to Blaze having some British tones to her voice, but seeing how well see handles a rapier, that just screams French. And Vanilla and Cream being prim and proper Brits is quite fitting. Plus, for Vanilla becoming a "British Milf" my mind automatically wandered to Bayonetta's voice.

[@banjo9158]

Knuckles: Latin accent. Its honestly simple. Lots Echidna civilisation stuff was inspired by Aztec/Mayan/Incans so I think it be appropriate if he had such accent. Rouge: French, hear me out I think it fit well. A famous fictional phantom thief is Arsen Lupin was french. Rouge=Res in French. Shadow: Russian or Polish any slav nation accent. Since at lest its possible Robotnik lineage are quit possibly Slavics. I think giving Shadow accent is still possible. Vector: New York accent it honestly fit. Especially with his detective role.

Building off of the idea that a lot of people hear David Humphrey’s Shadow as a weird mix of American/British: I think it would be cool if Shadow had a very *slight* mid-Atlantic/transatlantic accent. The transatlantic accent caught on during the golden age of Hollywood when actors/actresses were taught how to ‘sound’ both British and American so both audiences would be able to understand the characters. And the accent wasn’t limited to just movies - people doing radio broadcasts, news, TV shows, etc used it. Considering that Shadow kind of grew up during that era, I don’t think it would be out of place for him to sound vaguely American/British at times.

Knuckles is canonically Jamaican so I personally think he should have a Jamaican/Bronx accent, I think it’s pretty unique and it would suit him very well

[@epicmaj8r]

Fun fact: Knuckles was going to be Jamaican at one point around his debut in Sonic 3&K

[@SombroKoopaGuy]

Shadow and rouge with russian accents might fit perfectly good as in character that along with British tails and cream and Italian silver.

[@banjo9158]

Silver: MAMMA MIA!

[@TronicSSJ07]

Me after seeing latino Rouge’s body and hearing her voice: OH MY GOD, THAT WAS THE HOTTEST SHIT I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED.

[@mariobroultimate1808]

Sonic 2 movie had the right idea with Knuckles being given an accent.

[@melo80]

7:01 That's exactly what my family does to me when we are listening to music and I don't want to dance. Lol 🤣 You don't understand how much I have laughed at the whole video. 🤣

[@anaveragehedgehog]

Sonic should just have his normal accent, any other sounds weird on him 💀

[@_TRB_]

Agreed

[@5podsolnuhov]

1:42 music from Bully, I felt nostalgia, even though I never played it

[@tytotech9498]

I've wanted southern shadow for so long because idk it's fitting. He canonically listens to country and could have picked it up on the arc.

[@G_Sense]

If Blaze were to have a french accent, I'd imagine it to be something like Sherry LeBlanc's from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

[@aku2136]

damn the first thing I imagined was Silver with british accent lmao but idk if it would fit

[@_TRB_]

He's so hecking gentle and chill that it would make sense haha.

[@uranfromdis]

Blaze with a royal like voice would be a nice welcome

[@HyperShadow42]

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think a southern accent would fit for rouge, idk why though

[@Orange_Swirl]

As a Southerner, I'd be okay with it, but I think a French, Russian, Hispanic, or even British one would fit better.

[@Animeoatku85jr]

Ray should have an southen accent Mighty an germen accent

[@Smilifacetf]

Bruh, that Bronx Latina accent for Rouge is gold. I would not be mad if they just suddenly changed it.

[@DefectoPerfect0]

Same, but you know how the sonic fans are, any little change and people go to war over it.

[@Nothavinit00]

This was actually pretty interesting. I've never thought about that. Good content like usual. 👍

[@kid_ikarus_Bellflower]

This may be the only time anyone has ever said “French are fighters.” There was once a French man on the Ultimate Fighter who said he was going to dispel the stereotype about French people. Then he forfeited in the middle of his fight.

[@windowswhistler2000]

knuckles should be Australian since echidnas are from australia

[@BeagsandHapps]

Pizza tower music in the back ground

[@Quickstein]

9:44 Suddenly, Peppino

[@magical_pixie_horse7346]

I don't know about Blaze, but the others are based as hell.

[@mrmelonman2893]

The intros back!

[@SazelWells]

tbh I always get hispanic vibes from knuckles, specially jamaican and didn’t sega confirm one time that he’s also black Also for rouge I get spoiled rich girl/ gold digger vibes from her mostly gold digger due to her being addicted to jewels and her having a latina accent would be PERFECT and would make knuckles flirt over her more than ever before

[@LostSpectre496]

I've always seen Tangle the Lemur or Whisper having a very strong Kiwi (New Zealand) accent it just always made sense to me

[@BadringerGronger]

Knuckles:Jamaican Rouge:Latina Shadow: no accent Blaze: French Cream and Vanilla:British -------------- Sonic:Bronx Tails:Canadian Eggman:Angry Russian Vector:African American Charmy: Slightly Southern Espio:Japanese American And that’s my opinion

[@nightmarishkesii827]

I kinda like the idea of shadow being Russian just because him cursing in Russian would be hilarious
