Not surprising considering his age. Most full-grown men have too deep a voice to do male children convincingly, and there aren't many child voice actors, so most prepubescent boys in animation are voiced by women. The one notable exception I can think of if Alphonse Elric in the English Dub of the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime, an by the time Brotherhoo came around, the guy's voice ha eepened too much to reprise the role.

Concept art, image is missing corners and such because it's a warped image from a photograph to make it easier to see (the concept art was in the very left of an image)

Wow, ok... First character they bring up from the game other than Sonic and friends is Marinne? Yay

Is it just me or do some of the characters off to the right side kinda look like Disney characters?

Huh, interesting. Marine seems kinda outta place to me.

I'll probably watch it after weeks and weeks of it airing on television with me not even knowing that it's even out yet. I'm slow to news of things releasing.

I still think this has a lot of potential.

I'm curious about Amy. In the official picture, she looks like she has a totally different personality. I realize a lot of people think she's annoying, but is it really necessary to change her entire personality? I could be wrong, but it just looks that way to me in the picture.

Crash32 · Post by **Crash32** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 8:35 am

How do you tell a personality by a picture?
Don't judge a book by it's cover

Also, when have any of the Sonic characters had consistent characterization accross different media? If all the different incarnations of Amy got together, I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one resisting the urge to smash one of her counterparts with a hammer.

No Sonic character has ever had a consistent personality. It's hard to say they ever had a personality in the games beyond laughably cookie cutter archetypes, though. That said, Jeffrey is right. Amy has probably been the character that differs the most across various Sonic media. This isn't a change though, it's a different interpretation for a separate Sonic media. It's absolutely necessary to change certain things about a character.

True, it is supposed to be a different series altogether.

They just revealed more info about that Marine-looking character. Turns out she's called Sticks the Badger and she's supposed to have an integral role within the show/game.

that voice is one of the most grating voices ever

ShadriaFan · Post by **ShadriaFan** » Thu May 29, 2014 6:57 pm

I like Sticks already. XD reminds me of Izzy from TDI.

CitrusCat · Post by **CitrusCat** » Fri May 30, 2014 12:52 am

Aha, a badger! I'm not all that surprised. I actually suspected she was a badger, mainly due to the facial markings.

I like her, although I still need to get used to that voice.

KeatonLabs · Post by **KeatonLabs** » Fri May 30, 2014 1:17 am

The voice is perfectly fine. I just have one issue.ITS ANOTHER NEW CHARACTER. I really dont see why this was necessary. I mean, they are changing stuff already, so why not just pull one of the old characters,like bean, and change them up?

Not to say i hate what they did, but i find it a little unnecessary.

omg they really do look alike. :U

Jeffery Mewtamer · Post by **Jeffery Mewtamer** » Fri May 30, 2014 11:59 am

Wouldn't feel like a proper Sonic animation without introducing Characters not found in the games(SatAM has pretty much the entire Hero cast beyond Sonic and Tails, AoStH has Scratch and Grounder(at less, I don't think they have Badnik counterparts in the Genesis Trilogy), OVA has Mr. Owl, the President, and the catgirl(forget her name), Sonic Underground has Sonia and Manic, Sleet and Dingo, and Sonic X had had the Humans and Cosmo's species).

ShadriaFan · Post by **ShadriaFan** » Fri May 30, 2014 4:51 pm

Grounder was a basic enemy in the genesis series. Grounder being a drilling enemy often found in underwater/cave like zones first seen in Sonic 2. Scratch showed up in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, and Sonic Spinball; he may be based on Clucker, a enemy from the 16-bit Sonic 2 (only seen in Wing Fortress Zone), Sonic Spinball, Sonic Pocket Adventure, Sonic 4 Ep. 2, and Sonic Lost World.

I would have preferred they just brought Marine back, since she and Sticks seem to have basically the same personality (lolrandom girl), apperance, and heck, even a similar backstory. At least Marine's voice wasn't ear-gratingly annoying.
I'm curious to see how they manage to execute this, though with lines like "THE GOVERNMENT IS REPLACING MY PLANTS WITH VIOLINS," my hopes aren't exactly high.

Sorry for the double post, but some gameplay footage has been released.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaY7XPc0VQA

It would seem that there are two kinds of levels: High speed action (kind of like Sonic Rush), and slower, more methodically paced action adventure levels. Sonic runs at a sort of uncomfortable jog, as do the rest of the characters.
Each still have their abilities, according to gamexplain.
Sonic can homing attack and spindash, to climb slopes.
Knuckles can dig underground and climb walls.
Amy can use her hammer to fight or swing from bars.
Tails can glide/fly.
I have no clue what Sticks can do.

All the characters also have an enerbeam that they can use to grab enemies. They can grab ziplines during the highspeed sections.
