Straw Hat

Then why didn't they just add a Goal Ring at some other place...
Like the Kingdom Valley Demo for 06...

Tyson Hesse's Modern Sonic is probably my favorite style he's been drawn in.
 

....Ay Maria.....

It's really not clear. It's like Eggman just got cocky and turned off his security. They don't really give us an idea of what the Custom Hero did besides finding Sonic.

It's a lazy excuse for them to reuse more shit from the past.

What the fucking hell...?

I'm just asking for sources on these claims because I have a genuine curiosity as to how people have garnered information about Japan's personal tastes in Sonic. I don't know how to go about finding this on my own because I don't know the first place to start. But it seems like a lot of people are either already aware of where such views can be seen, or this topic is simply full of a lot of rhetoric. Basically, I'd like someone to actually show me some links to this stuff so I can read for myself.

Are there any sources (actual research) to back up any of the claims made in this topic, or is this all speculation based on preconceived notions on Japanese gamers' tastes? Honest question.

Completely disagree. Griffith had a tough time getting his voice down for Sonic pre Unleashed. But I think his performance in Sonic and the Black Knight was the best performance by any Sonic voice actor in any game.
That's one problem I always had with Roger's Sonic voice. I never really got much of anything about Sonic's character out of his performances outside of the cockiness. Part of that is due to the writing, but another part of that is also due to his voice not really fitting Sonic as a character.

Yeeeeeah, that was definitely gonna be Boom Sonic. 

I'll accept this as the canon explanation. 

Can we just talk about how bad infinite's character design is here?
 
You know when you're a kid and you play with action figures or Lego? And you take the head off one figure and put it on another. 
It fits on but looks goofy and out of place?
Infinite.
Even the chest ruby brick whatever it is looks like it belongs on someone else.

Yeeeeeah, that was definitely gonna be Boom Sonic.

Don't know why you're so angry.

Amy's quite happy at that news. 

The thing about Infinite... Izuka freaking said before he was Infinite BEFORE he was evil he was like Sonic and co. From what I've seen he absolutely lied and even with the whole "Shadow fighting for his own reasons" bit too.
I mean shesh I like the story still as a step up over the previous games, but the possible potential was lost.

....Ay Maria.....
 

Accusing people who disagree with you of blind hate instead of being able to acknowledge actual criticism is pretty shitty, dude.

Them reusing the Lost World tubes for the Infinite Boost Boss was pretty hilarious.

The only boss I thought was interesting so far was the Zavok boss. And that's mainly just because it wasn't another Boost fest.
