I have a love for the Advance and Rush jumps, in just how much they focus on the Spikyness of the jump. It not just an orb of light that happens to deal damage, these are Qills that spin like a buzz saw to tear though enemies.

[@oreogod1985]

True, those pixels do a great job conveying that

[@slameno-JR]

@@oreogod1985 I'm late but,you should try covering the other unleashed,since it's pretty different

[@Noah18097]

Unleash and jam are so amazing

[@jamiegioca9448]

"Just an orb of light that happens to deal damage"? Buddy, that's obviously a goddamn buzzsaw of raw energy, how is that not badass?

[@GPMTT]

1:00 that sound caught me off guard

[@ScorpionZX6]

I always prefer ones that just have him curled up or accentuate this (Heroes, 06 etc.), always made Sonic feel dynamic and acrobatic, solid balls are hotdog water imo

[@xudokai]

Agreed, that’s why I dislike forces and frontiers the most in that regard

[@hamzerpanzer]

I think unleashed did it pretty well

[@pj1343]

definitely agree with you here. there's just more detail when you see sonic jump in those games. in lost world, he's a literal ball when he jumps. so cheap and lacking in any detail, man.

[@UltraRow]

I just flew all the way over from the other channel... And boy are my arms tired 😃

[@oreogod1985]

Good to see ya here man

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

Is that a reference to the movie _Rocketman?_

[@takoyakiman99]

My theory for why squash and stretch was removed from the Frontiers jumpball was so it’d be easier to tell when Sonic is using the drop dash, since that move also uses squash and stretch. This isn’t confirmed or anything but I think it’s pretty plausible.

[@God-xd1wr]

I honestly prefer the look of Sonic spinning without the actual flashing ball effect. I just like the look of the physical exertion and style of Sonic just being himself.

[@garnt02]

i love the 06 jump its my favorite

[@destroyerkitty9434]

Kinda sad that Advance wasn’t mentioned, because Advance has my favorite spin ball ever. It’s so dynamic and fun.

[@oreogod1985]

Very true, it’s very bouncy yet spiky

[@emilkata]

I'd give it as a tie between Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic 06 jump animations. Specifically loved the Sonic 06 little jump landing animation when you use a spring. Looks like he tries softening the fall. Sonic Heroes was actually good at predicting how they land on their feet.

[@SonicntZane]

Leaving a comment because I liked the video I'm a huge fan of how Sonic 06 did the jump. It feels so natural and clean. No effects surrounding Sonic, but it's just him in a spinning ball form.

[@phantomblue2798]

To me I feel like the secret to a good Sonic jump is a good mixture of the way he curls and the ball, (or circle) part off it. It's like how you try to balance out a Yugioh deck with the right monsters, spells, and traps to have good combos, and with the right combo of how Sonic's jump looks it'll look great.

[@ticreut2913]

Currently Sonic Frontiers jump animation have a lot of details, when his start jumping you can see him curl into a ball which was not present In Sonic Unleashed/Generations/Forces. About the squash and stretch while jumping, his doing this only if you do an drop dash, which make sense.

[@Bmontepeque11]

I love seeing your Sonic compilations! ❤️

[@DedlyAidan]

I honestly really like the Forces and Frontiers jumpball, idk exactly what it is, but it's my personal favorite

[@archae108]

EXACTLY

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

I set my Xbox 360 to the wrong display settings back in 2014 and Sonic Generations blue glow was gone so when Sonic jumped, he had no jump ball like in Sonic 06. I honestly loved how that looked and wish they'd do that more often.

[@denisecolgan1041]

The sonic heroes and SA2 jumps are supposed to make it look like sonic is spinning so fast that it has a trail and makes it look like he’s moving slowly

[@PLAYER42_ready]

As soon as I saw the new update video, I immediately migrated and rewatched this vid to help support, hope the situation improves soon! Also, did you add a few sounds and clips onto this one, i don’t remember some of the “boing sound effects” when you were talking about SA2.

[@slashback37]

To summarize the 3D Sonic games' jumps, they were fine in Adventure 1 and 2, got way more realistic and overall generally way better in Unleashed and Generations, then Forces make the animation suck really bad with a blue glowing ball, and then for some stupid reason they brought back the same animation for Frontiers.

[@Banana807]

Imo the forces and frontiers one didnt look bad, they are fine

[@Caroster5]

I used to be really weird (I still am now but less) In the 2d sonic games the sprite for jumping would go from the spin where you could see sonic and his body to the spin that’s just a blue ball But sometimes it would only be the blue ball and my weird ass was so curious about it

[@albertmasterofartist]

[@Nicolas-gm8ip]

I really don't like how modern sonic just turns into a blue glowing ball with no animation

[@pianist1413]

I think if you take all of your opinions and reverse them, you'd basically have my ranking. I really hate the "flicker" effect that older spinballs have and I think SA2 is the first jump animation to actually look good. Also, if it's just a ball, and I can't see Sonic, Imma downvote that faster than a redditor.

[@oreogod1985]

That’s fair and I’ll still say SA2 looks the most fluid. lol good one

[@lafbkhope5391]

Personally I despise Lost World, Colors, Forces, Frontiers. They look very bland it's a shiny ball with spikes coming out. They look very awkward. Lost World's is super lazy it's just a blue ball....that is literally it it sucks as bad as Lost World's whole cartoonish aesthetic approach. As for Shadow, uh I don't really like the animations in this game. Shadow is way too unnaturally stretchy like a stretch doll which makes him look very awkward. I do like Adventure 1, Heroes and 06 jumps out of the bunch.

[@oreogod1985]

Yeah lost world being nothing but a ball does bug me just a bit, but I at least kinda appreciate it’s fitting the cartoony aesthetic, but that kinda just seems like an excuse on the devs
