Is it really that bad? Because she did an excellent job as Pandora in KIU, portraying one of the best characters of that game.

Really goes to show how bad voice acting isn't always the actors' fault, but can also result from bad voice directing. Another example of that is Samus's voice in Metroid: Other M.

It isn't that bad. People are exaggerating. I really don;t see the problem with the voice in all honesty.

It's no worse then any old American Cartoon voice. I mean really, it's not that bad.

Coming from a guy who can take a certain level of annoyance, I just couldn't deal with this one.
One could use this as a form of torture if they really wanted too.
It just makes me hope to God they don't have songs in this. I'd still like to keep whatever I have left of my eardrums.

It has to be bad voice direction. I've seen her other work. And she's done some decent roles. But everyone has to have some bad roles along with good ones I guess.

Sure, but it's not good either.

 

[Knight Dude]

The GLA hype is real.

So this is what Sticks based on.

I don't see a problem with this. The kids like murdering beast. Just look at Winnie the Pooh. Everybody knows that bears are freaking crazy.

I liked more of the gameplay than cutscenes in Other M. My favorite boss was probably Nightmare,mainly because it lives up to it's name in this game. It wasn't as repulgant as the GBA one without it's mask,but it did leave a scare.

You annoyance level isn't as high as you think it is then.

I dunno. I kinda like it. The voice reminded me of the likes of Looney Toons, Tweety Bird, Tom & Jerry and the like.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

You really can't blame a voice actor/actress for being annoying so much as voice direction. On the Subject of Bubsy, the woman that voiced him in the infamous Bubsy 3D was none other than Lani Minella, aka Pit in Smash Bros Brawl, Rouge in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Battle, Sonic Heroes, 4 of the 7 Koopalings (Wendy, Morton, Lemmy, and Larry) and also Boom Boom and Pom Pom, Ivy beginning in Soul Calibur III... really, it's just like the Voice Director for Bubsy told her "Be really annoying, the kids will like it"

 

[Tenchi Boom]

Sticks sounds like an 80 year old alcoholic. So I have to listen to her AND Amy's infuriating voices? Good God.

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

Gamers don't know what they want.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

In other news, Sticks the Jungle Badger is announced as a character in Sonic Boom.

My ears are already bleeding.

Nice! Now where's Shadow and Rouge?

 

[Tenchi Boom]

Nice! Now where's Shadow and Rouge?

They've been replaced with Boobs the Bunny and Dark the Parrot.

 

[Mega Dunsparce]

No, the only true Hoenn Pokemon deserving of a mega evolution is Mega Dunsparce .

Dunsparce is a Johto Pokemon.

 

[PKNinja95]

I'm baaacckkk. Nyaguh

What'd I miss

 

[Will]

Gamers don't know what they want.

Excuse me while I try to find a video of Game Theory.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

Nice! Now where's Shadow and Rouge?

I don't know. Maybe they'll surprise me and put them in there, but lately it's seemed to me that with the more cartoonier direction they've been taking Sonic, they've actually been trying to steer away from those characters save for the occasional multiplayer spinoff outing (All Stars Racing, Olympics, Riders etc.) and Sonic Generations which was an anniversary bash therefore likely to include 20 years worth of fiction.

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

Excuse me while I try to find a video of Game Theory.

Yeah, pretty much that video.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

I actually like the voice for Sticks though, WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Substitution]

You annoyance level isn't as high as you think it is then.

Here's the thing, with any character, I like to think there's a fine line between tolerably annoying, and annoying.
If you play a character right, then the annoying character can end up somewhat of a positive trait. Such as a foil the other characters can use as a joke (especially for the villains).
Play it wrong, and you end up with an intolerable Scrappy.
Now while this could be that I have to see just how it goes, she certainly isn't making a decent first impression.

I dunno. I kinda like it. The voice reminded me of the likes of Looney Toons, Tweety Bird, Tom & Jerry and the like.

Really? I honestly didn't think so.
The thing is, I've heard that same voice before. I just don't know where.

>Intolerable Scrappy

Yep. Low annoyance level.

Also I liked Scrappy

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

I just want to remind everyone.. this IS the Sonic series after all. And the Internet's reaction to this... well... let's pull out the map, shall we?

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

No one liked Scrappy.

 

[Substitution]

>Intolerable Scrappy

Yep. Low annoyance level.

Maybe Scrappy wasn't the right word in hindsight.
Base Breaker seems to be the one that fits better here.

Also I liked Scrappy

Well, to each their own I guess.

Need I repeat my statement?

 

[Pazzo.]

Gamers don't know what they want.

I don't think anyone really does.

 

[mimgrim]

Need I repeat my statement?

I disagree with that statement. I know exactly what I want.

I'm just not stupid enough to expect to get what I want and settle for what I get.

 

[*The Sensus Crustulum*]

Dunsparce is a Johto Pokemon.

LOL yeah I forgot I summoned you.
Anyways you got ninja'd.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

LOL yeah I forgot I summoned you.
Anyways you got 'd.

Fix'd

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

As much as I loved Olga's voice in Hey Arnold!, I welcome Sticks with open arms for introducing someone interesting for once instead of boring characters like Shade the Echidna. Her being a badger and boomerang fighter is a plus too. :3

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

Super lucky-time chansu show!

oh quiet, you outlying data.

 

[mimgrim]

oh quiet, you outlying data.

Outliers should always be taken into consideration.

It's cruel to completely ignore them.

 

[Mega Dunsparce]

NEUUUUUUUUU!

Holy ****ing ****... O_O;

I really have no words for that...

You can't win an argument with facts and being reasonable.

Of course I expected you to fanboy over it. You ARE Mr.SONICFanfics for a reason.

Imagine the price of the wool.

The guy who wanted 3+ Sonic characters in SSB4 liked a new annoying voiced character in a new sonic game? Color me shocked? lol

 

[Will]

Five comments in a row ending with troll faces?

A NEW RECORD! WOO WOO!

 

[Ta1nted_4ngel29]

Make it 6.

 

[LiteralGrill]

seven?

 

[Vintage Creep]

what makes the item system suck/the game broken?

Oh, so many things.
First off, the fact that you can hold just one item at a time takes away all the little strategy Mario Kart had before, forcing you to keep the item for protection up to the entire race sometimes, instead of throwing it in search of something better. The game straight up punishes you if you dare launching the item trying to get an opponent behind you, leaving you with your butt exposed, especially if you get the dreadful Coin item.
The Coin item is simply a mistake. In first position, it appears too often (up to three times in a row to me) leaving you completely defenseless and also being useless if you already have the 10 coins. It shouldn't appear when you already have them. Hell, it shouldn't exist. I hope a patch removes it.
So, basically, 99% of the time you're just holding that Banana/Green Shell, and if they're used to protect you from another item, chance is you'll have to wait a quarter of the track to take another item. One-two punches happen often so you really can't do anything about that.
The Blue Shell thing is a little better maybe but the Box item is very rare especially in first position, and even if you manage to get it you'll probably just keep for the entire race waiting for the Blue Shell (I used it against the Shell just once and I already beat all the 50cc, 100cc and 150cc cups with a three-stars ranking).

In the end, it comes off as simply boring when played at a low difficulty since you barely see the other players, and it's broken when it's at a hard difficulty for the reasons I said above.
To be honest, the whole game seems incredibly dumbed down to me. The two Rainbow Roads are by far the easiest, most boring and flat Rainbow Roads of the entire franchise. The item system completely removes all strategy involved before and even all the characters/karts feel almost the same, with a couple of exceptions.

 

[Aduross]

Eh, Badger the Scrappy's voice isn't really that bad. Speaking as someone who's very nitpicky with voiceacting, I've certainly heard worse. Character looks fun, but I think her shtick could get old really fast.

Not that I have any interest in Sonic Boom anyway.
