About Sonics Animations+Movesets...

[KuroBit]

I haven't seen anyone else talk about this, probably because not many people have played a lot of the old sonic games, but...

What is with how sonic moves in brawl? When I first played as him, I was really surprised how un-sonic-like he moved. I understand the "figure-8" running thing, because that was from sonic CD (although altered to look more realistic), but what about some of the moves like up+A in the air. He kind of twirls around upside down, I never remember him being that flexible... and his wind-up punch kind of strange too... although his tilt up+A move and down+A in the air moves (sorry, I don't know the SSB lingo x_X) seem to fit pretty well...

Also, what is with the way he walks? He doesn't tilt forward like usual, and he walks very goofy...ly?... (Can't think of a better word XD) I kind of expected them to reference his walking animation from one of his games...

Also, why are his spikes so floppy? It almost looks like their made of the same material a jellyfish is made of ...

Don't get me wrong though, he is one of the main people I play with, I'm just wondering why Nintendo made him so... rubbery XD... unless its because of the fact that Sonic and Sega been an arch rival to Mario and Nintendo for years ... (That would make sense)

Am I the only one thats noticed any of this?...

Yes, I have noticed a few inconsistencies with the congruence between old sega games and brawl. I think the main reason for this is to make sonic more appealing. By making him more animated, fluent and bouncy he is probably percieved as more fun than if his moves were strictly dictated by that of the older sega games. I have definitely wonder where that walk came from lol. I think its funny. But we gotta realise that every character in this game has had some imaginative perspectives placed upon them. Aerials especially, because most characters don't have basic and simple movesets that can b converted into brawl. Take Captain Falcon for example.
Or Falco?
Its just one of those things you gotta live with, plus it won't make a heck of a difference anyway.
Cheers, nice comment.

Alot of his moveset was taken from Sonic the Fighters (arcade game..?)

And it's been argued that some were taken from Tekken or some other fighting game.

But really, you may not have seen anyone else talk about this because this is what people talked about in March and April.

^pft, I didn't. It was ******** then, it's ******** now.

If you're going to complain about anything, complain about how Sonic has short arms that can't hit shit and weak attacks that take forever to rack up damage.

Worst post I've ever seen you make.

Never advocate complaining about Sonic, we all know he sucks, get used to it or gtfo.

lol yea Sonic's animation are to make him interesting seeing how he looked made people want to get brawl, others hate it cuz of him or w/e idc. Still his walk is funny but I like his better than Falcon's.

Why would I do that? Everyone does that already ...

Also, I noticed the hidden text, I have my whole site set up to a different theme so the background was a different color ... (Was it supposed to mean anything?...)

The only move I can think of that's really out of the blue is his fair. IIRC, he didn't have something like it in Sonic the Fighters. Espio had something like it, though.

heh you silly background changing person.

I'm frustrated by the rising amount of old news popping up again. It's starting to be reminiscent of the Ike boards.

The spikes are floppy like in Sonic 2006. He walks similar to his slow walk in SA. The moves were already explained.

ROFL Boxob is banned again.
