I love most Sonic designs but modern Sonic, specifically in uekawa's early art, is possibly my favourite depiction, it's either that or classic Sonic in the opening cutscene to CD

[@dingusdong]

3:12 you made an unlisted version of this video just for this one skit, the dedication here is insane.

[@thereel1_real]

The most brilliant joke I’ve ever seen in a KZbin video

[@supasam06]

I like how he talks about every single classic design and then he just talks about modern sonic as if that design has always been consistent

[@ThomasSunflower]

Damn! Didn’t expect a video like this from you! Hope you do more!

[@MilesMeelezz]

This video sums up everything I feel about the character design shit. People should enjoy what they like, but for gods sakes can they just learn when to hold back on bullying other folks online for liking something they consider shit like god damn that shit is why people still mock the community to this day

[@VicoWillStopYou]

I think if American Sonic kept the the Japanese quills, there would be not American Sonic hate (because for me, the main problem with American Sonic, are the “Mohawk” quills, and the rest is, actually pretty good)

[@SonicSatamAnimations]

I know right?? To me, the Mohawk was a MISCONCEPTION. It wasn’t an attempt to make it look “cooler”. You can tell that this is true when you see that they changed it through time to fit more with the JP one.

[@Eldoofus]

I don't care which design is better and I don't care what tone of blue his arms are, I just want a new goddamn artstyle for Modern Sonic because we've had this design since Shadow thefucking Hedgehog 2005.

[@etherealhatred]

You're actually wrong because the design has faced a lot of changes, yeah they share the same principles but Unleashed/Generations Sonic is eons different from 06 Sonic and those are from Heroes/Shadow The Hedgehog Sonic and let's not talk about Runners/Forces/Frontiers Sonic There's actually an interesting variety of changes that make them different and unique on their own

[@plotarmor8017]

​@@etherealhatredNo he's talking about the Current Sonic model that has been used since 2005 in shadow the hedgehog.

[@plotarmor8017]

Specifically this model right here 5:37. Though this Sonic model has changed from the lengths of his arms and spikes as well as his shoes in the more recent game releases but the overall design is the same. Nowadays this model is everywhere from promotional content to merch and etc. This model has overstayed its welcome so much that people among the Sonic community, including myself, is starting to get tiring to see. What I would give to see a more sleek and radical design like the O6 one or a more expressive and cool heros-like model.

[@Chillipeffer]

​@@etherealhatredhe said design, not model

[@xmixraven8633]

I think this video is pretty much the best way to look at this 'spines' situation, like what you like and like what you don't like. Whilst purple heart Magichan may be the ultimate design, clearly. Good video. I laughed a lot. I typed this right before you said like what you like, too. Now I got an extra laugh.

*DreamCast Sonic has left the lobby.

[@maxisz6674]

Yeah Generations trailer is good. But let me be honest. I literally don't care about the design thing. I just wanted a well done sonic lore on actual games :(

[@SuperSonicFan16Official]

1:33 Im not even question where he even got that picture 💀💀💀

[@EmboLo777]

good video!

[@Gamerbropart2]

Thankfully I’m a sonic fan and I’ve loved the modern sonic design and its style it looked so cool Especially classic sonic and doesn’t care what happens as long as he isn’t gone or cancelled permanently I’ll be perfectly fine

[@sharinganmoon]

This video rules

[@lyle977]

Found this channel from the Rabbids go home vid this is my second video. Entertaining how you not got more Subs lol

[@crashybandicoot0136]

You need to make more videos like this

[@ShowinGrowin]

that is true

[@jonasonic456]

Fucking based showin I love the generations cgi designs so much

[@Xenon_XTH]

Great video showin. I love JP classic Sonic Except Santiago

[@ashleywhite8888]

i think while i really like this design's expressions when they're done right, the color theory in general is a bit messy (and i'm not talking about the fucking shade of blue), and the spines just don't lead to the feeling that the rest of the design conveys

[@xCoMiXx]

Yesss thank you. I personally am a big fan of Greg Martin's Sonic, and they did such a fantastic job of combining him with the Japanese style for Generations, at least on the renders and CG cutscenes, I've always been iffy on his in-game model because he's just too round, it's like a stickman head with spikes, ears and a nose and that's it, they use it for toys and stuff.

[@callumsparrow4379]

Mecha Sonic from Sonic 2 is the only good Mohawk Sonic design.

[@SonicSatamAnimations]

*in your opinion* I like all Mohawk designs

[@windy3935]

Wait, so how do you feel about classic sonic in Superstars then?

[@gordonfeetman5306]

My favorite sonic has to be sonic from Sonic 06. He's way more mature than normal sonic and I prefer that way more.

[@WiiZ_OSC]

generations classic sonic is fine forces classic sonic is to light to me he almost looks cyan

[@DanzTheGB]

are you ok

[@SpanicT.HedgeHedge]

Does classic sonic really have black eyes I mean he has more brown reddish in his eyes???

[@ChibiSteak]

[@zwaywest9445]

I don’t really like this video because it’s kind of hurtful being a Sonic fan

[@asasteam9281]

I just waste me time just to watch this video 😵

[@BlueJack222]

What about Boom Sonic design?

[@edwardyniguez9699]

how daaaare you say the original japanese stop motion desighn is creepy, its one of the best charming desighns EVER. you have bad tastes.

[@ShowinGrowin]

It was a joke about sonic in general. Footage had nothing to do with it lol.

[@SonicSatamAnimations]

Bro did you miss the point of the video, that everyone has different tastes and opinions and nobody’s is better/worse? (And that we are all idiots)

[@baxterbunny4403]

Sonic unleash is good

[@androwaydie4081]

Good watch.
