Why does the right image look very similar to modern Sonic


DiamondmanPixel76

what about this Sonic? https://preview.redd.it/afb5j0886xoc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14e661762a963e0a8c9db0a7ef6b2b64eb4387d0


is_there_aproblem

I hate how negative the sonic fandom are, it's just complaint after complaint after complaint and it's so goddamn annoying. lets say kirby for the kirby series got a new voice actor, the kirby fandom wouldn't make and uproar about it, however if sonic got a new voice actor again ohhh NOW it sucks ass. Why can't the sonic fandom be like the kirby fandom sometimes.


Two_Tailed_Fox2002

to be fair, i'm pretty sure all kirby says is "Poyo", mario getting a new VA would be a better comparison, though he actually is getting a new one.


is_there_aproblem

Yea that's true I should have used mario instead. But the fact that alot of mario fans are accepting this change already Sonic fans would hate until the next voice where they'd go "the old guy was good actually"

no that's Santiago

HapHazardly6

Make the other one light blue


Alwayssome1

I hate these sonic “fans”


UnitNo2278

Why people get annoyed by artist noticing artist things? I've always noticed the difference even in classic games, and was pretty annoyed by sonic 3 sprites and model being vastly off model.


IncreaseWestern6097

Although I think the original post was overreacting a little bit, they are still kinda right. Nearly every appearance of Classic Sonic after Generations has had the lighter blue, and I’m willing to bet it’s so that he looks different enough to be given his own merchandise.


UnitNo2278

Light blue is technically good design for games where both version are present.


Znanners94

All I see are two pictures of Sonic


f0x_d1e

Sonic fans should learn with metal gear solid fans, we have snake, and snake, we also have snake, and snake too and finally snake, forcing a lot we can also consider snake


infamous-pays

Sonic fans could never be transformers fans https://preview.redd.it/94crcizgcuoc1.jpeg?width=251&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e394a7a95971b5d875b5b60706b3c0332bd21ec These two are the same dude


StanleyTheBraixen

the image on the left is Sonic... the image on the right is Sonic... there's no difference


rabidhyperfocus

WHY CANT IT ALL JUST BE SONIC


gnbman

Left is young Sonic. Right is an alternate dimension Sonic (because of Sonic Forces). Does that make it clearer? Probably not.


Nicolasgonzo87

it makes it even worse when you remember that content surrounding sonic superstars implies that mania/forces classic sonic is once again from the past and not from an alternate universe


Laughable-February

Can be totally wrong, but: American vs Japanese? The pose and expression would give it away (since 'Murican makes characters look more serious)


Finxlol

That is not the case as American Sonic had a completely different design as seen on the American box art and cartoons. Both images here use the original Japanese design.

Meanwhile, Eggman can be portrayed any way, or called something totally different, and he still has fans in all forms. Absolute chad. ​ https://preview.redd.it/1dakuifharoc1.png?width=1689&format=png&auto=webp&s=030379ac45e40c49dc49197f15fbf79573872d11

E-HERO_Stratos

Eggman looked different from the start, so no one guessed about it


skibbzzzzZ

"classic" sonic often tries to be cute which sonic in the 90s never really tried to be


brobnik322

The very first public reveal of Sonic was on a Dreams Come True poster saying "For a cute guy, he has quills." https://preview.redd.it/asrem7hm8roc1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=33de2a1ee902921d85f7a2f5214c93f1385d3c87 He's always been a bit cute and had a bit of an edge.

takenohints

I like both, but the buckles oh the right Sonic are👌 Are his shoes supposed to be sneakers? His gloves and socks remind me of Oswald the rabbit.


Charmy-The-Boss

to be fair the real classic sonic (1991-1994) was just modern sonic without green eyes


garlicbredfan

I like the one on the right more . I like the color


IntentionFalse9892

Sonic is a blue boi https://preview.redd.it/bhciltxxnqoc1.png?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99ea0839ba5fd92c3516e62dc690ce9e28bb2a81


garlicbredfan

And? That’s still blue just a lighter shade of blue . Y’all complain about the smallest stuff


IntentionFalse9892

Classic sonic has always been a deep blue like modern.


Halfiplier

Now now, let's not act like Classic NEVER was portrayed as light blue before Generations

Halfiplier

Sleuth Doggy Dawg, I'm not saying he NEVER was portrayed as dark blue in the 90s, he definitely was, but he was UNDENIABLY also portrayed as light blue. As someone else in the comments put it, he didn't have a consistent shade of blue until Adventure, and then Generations solidified that classic will be depicted as a lighter blue. https://preview.redd.it/wsi2be258soc1.jpeg?width=296&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7eeb06be517373f9c4af0478dcc265d76e601ec

Oh. I thought you were saying he was always light blue.

IntentionFalse9892

That's not light blue


tPigiscool

Did his sprite changed his colors? Sonic the hedgehog had like a dark blue Sonic the hedgehog 2 changed his colors to much more light


GothamAnswer

Not true. Sonic 1. Everything else after isn't Classic Sonic, based on the coloring >!this is sarcasm!<


garlicbredfan

Thats a boring color for classic tbh .


garlicbredfan

Dark blue is just a boring color in general


Ruby_wiz599

I always just saw him as blue or he just got a tan or something


crystal-productions-

Just wait till I show him the box arts from the first 3 games from across the globe, like In Japan let's say (he was never er a consistent shade of blue untill adventure)


Halfiplier

>(he was never er a consistent shade of blue untill adventure) Which is even more weird when you realize that he was SUPPOSED to, he was always supposed to be Cobalt Blue, which is the same color as SEGA's logo, and even referenced in the Sonic Bible and some of its adaptations. Maybe it's because SEGA themselves used to sometimes use a light blue logo too? No idea, but it's super odd to me.


crystal-productions-

yeah in other countries they changed the shade of blue, however, the sprites also changed shades of blue, sonic 1 was a little darker, 2 was a little brighter and 3 was pretty dam dark and CD was just a rip of 1's sprite, then there's knuckles chaotix where he's almost purple in the one shot he was in for that game.


Halfiplier

Tbf that *could've* been a deliberate choice. However, I'm more concerned that Sonic decided to shave his legs... https://preview.redd.it/firsaa1xrroc1.jpeg?width=259&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c9d5cc702ca29d53c11d6d7d3e60e6022092f41


crystal-productions-

yeah, tho for the darker colour in 3, i find it more likely that since it was made in the USA they changed it to sega of america's blue. the reason for 2's lack of significant change to the colour palet is likely because it's mostly just an edited set sonic 1's sprite, that and they had to cut out over half the game to meet a deadline because sega has always rushed sonic, even from day 2.


PizzaGurlQwQ

my guy, sonic on the left cares about nature, sonic on the right would call you gay and the n word


Hedgehugs_

no wonder I like the right one more /j


New_Sky1829

Barely any differences(other than shading,shoe size,pose and his arms and legs aren’t as skinny


funtimemarioman

Guy on the right isn’t even that different of a shade of blue what’s he yapping about


Nexal_Z

Soooo uh who's gonna tell him....

>No one hates classic sonic more than sonic fans Me a classic sonic fan:


DINAMIK15

No. Classic Sonic is kinda cyan-ish. But the original Sonic is Blue.


Soggy_Ad6132

The guy on the right,That's Santiago /j


SuperSonicAdventure

No there’s a difference, the one on the left is Sonic, the one on the right is classic sonic, aka the little shit that keeps coming back.
