Been a sonic fan since damn near birth (jan 6 1990) and have witnessed the "Fall of Sonic". The fall of sonic was not due to the chao garden and nowhere close. The downfall of Sonic occured after DURING Sonic 2 Battle. Reason was, the game was rushed and due to this, if you notice, the characters mouths move so far off the voice actors, the voice actors talk over each other to try and keep up with the japanese lip sync and the cut scenes and it started to get glitchy with this game. NOT SAYING it was a bad game, but could have done with a little more work.
After that however, you have your very forgettable games like sonic heroes where the story line of sonic is skewed and kind of hard to follow. then shadow the hedgehog which holy crap sucked balls. and with all the different endings lets touch base with, wasnt shadow dead? stepping over that it seemed like after that sega forgot who the main character was in the franchise and each new game adding way too many new faces, way too many storylines, and too much BS that the game then became a giant turd. Sonic and the black knight? seriously?
in my opinion if they wanted to add more characters, they should have added more characters with relevance to the older sonic franchise that held some merit. Where was princess sally in ANY of these new games? Bottom line however, i was definatly expecting to see more of that in this video and i didnt but the animation was very good. even got a laugh in at the end. Good job and i hope to see more from you in the future!
