Reposting in hopes that user who suggested it sees, but I tried more varied angles for characters as he suggested. And it's a first attempt, but I know it'll be a while before this gets significantly better
Brayden Hughes
Is the Comic canceled?
Kayden Parker
Don't know yet.
Grayson Cruz
Fast
Brody Mitchell
SLOW
Grayson Brown
I'm still betting on another hiatus.
Evan Murphy
Probably.
When's the stream?

Is Rivals 1/2 worth playing?

silver's voice in 06 hits this interesting balance between cool, obnoxious, and totally adorable.
Austin Morgan
this is legit the greatest sonic game to ever exist. you're living in a bubble if you deny that. everything from the amazing graphics that still hold up today, the fantastic music, and the story is all great. truly a shame we'll probably never see another sonic in the same vain as this ever again :'(
Austin Cook

Eli Sanchez
I think those rose tinted glasses are on a bit too tight
Easton Garcia
Oh man, I forgot it was National Opposite Day.
Carter Smith
i can't tell if this is bait, but i do think Sonic Heroes is pretty good and up there on the Sonic games. It has a bad rep unfortunately since it arguably started the 'decline' and a lot of people had the PS2 version with its glitches and broken physics.
Ayden Sanchez
>making a series of reviews critiqueing the Sonic series's voice acting over the years >never made an analytical video before >feel like I'm stumbling over my own points and not making my stance clear
Advice?
Christopher Russell
I legitimately LOVE this game and I don't believe half of that.
Funny enough, I feel like if they put a little more effort into it it could've had a cool segmented story. Have the characters go in different order of levels, intertwining at certain points with the levels rebuilt to fit around how the characters would be going through it. All ending at Egg Fleet. Like for Team Rose, they'd be following sonic so they'd start in the same place as team sonic but they'd get lost and maybe end up somewhere else entirely where they meet up with Chaotix.
Or Team Dark would start at a more mechanical location like rail canyon and try to figure out where Eggman is, without any leads. etc.
Christian Gonzalez
Give me a quick rundown on your stance on each voice and how you arrived to that point.
Ethan Russell
We really need to start calling it Dr. Eggman General from now on.
Every time it changes back to /sthg/ there's shitposters everywhere.

Q U A L I T Y
Carson Campbell
Write an actual script. Remove any waffling about or overly long intro about you or your history with the franchise or anything that is unrelated to the point you are trying to make. Give it to someone to read/proofread. Take a hacksaw to it and see if you can say whatever you said with less words or in a more clear and concise way. Repeat step 3. Record it in whatever intervals feel most comfortable. Edit those together.
Your first videos will still probably kinda suck from lack of experience, but if you do that, you'll at least stand out from the 10 million terrible videos out there.
Jonathan Kelly
B-but I can't even draw a circle!
Liam Williams

son what the fuck are you smoking. 8/10 bait, got me to reply. here's your (you).
Samuel Harris
Never again will I draw the Acorn. Game character art only from me from now on.
Justin Baker
Okay
Chase Martinez
oh shit what have i done
Ayden Evans

Lucas Evans
>Jaleel Works perfectly as an early American-style Sonic, but he stopped being good when he stopped being a teenager, so his voice in Underground and after sucked.
>Burke Carries a lot of charm and manages to make Sonic sound cute and endearing and yet likable and naturally cool at the same time. This is my favorite Classic Sonic voice because it embodies SEGA!Sonic so well.
>Drummond Unpopular opinion but I think his performance in Heroes and SA2 is undoubtedly the best voice Sonic has ever had not counting Junichi. He hits everything that makes Sonic...Sonic.
>Jason Griffith Sounded pretty great before he was replaced, but it still has problems. Namely that he seems to be forcing it, making any possible drama sound unnatural.
>Roger Sucks. I will never understand the directing decision here. He simply doesn't have the range for it, he constantly sounds like he's phoning it in, he doesn't have good comedic delivery, and he just sounds so generic.
I have opinions for everyone else but that's what I have for Sonic.
>Remove any waffling about or overly long intro about you or your history with the franchise or anything that is unrelated to the point you are trying to make. It takes about 3 minutes for me to bring up the voicework. Is that too long? It's not completely unrelated either.
Juan Perez
>joke
It's not a joke, boy.
Also, if SEGA wanted to do a game starring Amy/Blaze & Cream & you were put in charge over its story & gameplay, how would you do it?
Dylan Collins
OKAY OFFICER
Daniel Ortiz
I wouldn't. I 'd just convince them to make another 3D boost game iwth Sonic
Logan Young
Heroes team gameplay. Done right, I firmly believe the "team gimmick" could be the absolute best way to play as multiple characters in Sonic. It cuts out the middle man and gives you access to Flight and Power abilities from the get-go making yourself feel versatile as fuck.
Also make Cream get kidnapped, give her role to Silver instead.
Jayden Martin
...
Logan Russell
If you say so
Parker Phillips
Don't.
So Silver would be the Flight? And I assume Amy would be Power & Blaze would be Speed, correct?
Juan Lewis
Yup. IMO Silver and Blaze have better chemistry than Cream and Blaze do.
John Williams
S-sonic it's getting all over your glove.
Brody Hall
>Don't. Why not? It'd sell better and more people would want that than a game of comparative nobodies
Levi Rivera
Hmm, not a bad idea.
Don't use my posts to start your tiresome shitposting, pls.

Just remove all animals. Eggman sells more than Sonic ever could.

Not that user but...That's reeeeeeeeeeeeeally not saying much.
Asher Murphy
Who streams for /sthg/ here? I want to see someone game. Inb4 Look @ GameGrumps, Cobanermani, or some other Popular E-Celeb I just want a newcomer who doesn't have alot of views/follows. Preferably one that somewhat uses a mic and not during gameplay.
Cooper Garcia
These..."people" have shit taste.
Wyatt Gonzalez
Gentlemen. How do we fix Sonic?
Aiden Mitchell
>It takes about 3 minutes for me to bring up the voicework. Is that too long? It's honestly probably 2 and a half minutes too long. If you aren't talking about either Sonic or voice acting in the first 30 seconds, and both of them after the 30 second mark, you're just inviting me to stop watching your video.
Analytical videos are a very different medium than high school papers. You're not looking to fill time or space. You want to punch straight to the point, because the person watching your video has 15 trillion other ways to occupy their time on the internet.
Honestly, think of that 30 second timeframe as a good rule to follow until you develop the skills and confidence to know when you can break the rule. That's what all rules in writing are.
Noah Ortiz
cute!
Charles Perez
user pls leave the shitposter be. He'll fuck off back to /trash/ soon enough.
You know I remember thinking when I was way younger that Sally was a squirrel. Did anyone else ever make that mistake when they first saw her?
Wow, you actually draw a real good Sally, Yoto.
We can't. Have Eggman kill him & take over the series.
Alexander Davis
>Analytical videos are a very different medium than high school papers. You're not looking to fill time or space.
But I'm also trying to be funny. What if it's funny?

It's just a recommendation. Whatever you do at the beginning of your video is going to feel longer than it would at any other point, so just be mindful of that.
William Martin
Jun Senoue is wayyyyyy better at composing Sonic music than that Tomoya Ohtani guy.

>three fucking minutes to get to the meat of the video I'm pissed if I have to sit through a 10 second unskippable commercial. The sound of your voice better me stroking me off if you expect me to sit through more than a half minute of you getting to your point.
Humor is 100% subjective. I guarantee you're not half as funny as you think you are. If you're struggling to even make your presentation clean and flowing, you're nowhere near ready for comedy and the end result will be cringe thread fodder. Stick to purely informative style until your delivery is confident and unbroken.

Did you have a bad experience or something?

Jonathan Sullivan
I really like the idea that Tails has the skills of both Sonic and Eggman, with the potential to surpass both in the future. Imagine if Eggman got to Tails first, and became his mentor instead of Sonic? Then, instead of being nearly as fast as Sonic with techno-skills rivalling Eggman, he'd be nearly as techno-skilled as Eggman with speed rivaling Sonic. He'd basically have Metal Sonic's role in a way.
Matthew Collins
>Which games, user? I dunno what their playing. It's the official Sonic stream.
