8:21 The reason why Sonic looks weird when running in 2D is because when they were modifying the Hedgehog Engine from Sonic Lost World to Sonic Forces, Sonic moves slower when running left to right and faster when running forward and back in Lost World and it was brought into Forces so it's impossible for Sonic to reach his top speed without boosting or with a dash pad.

@jamrah8713 Жыл бұрын

@@oreogod1985 it’s because between the break of lost world and forces, most of the time was spent making HE2, and sega didn’t give sonic team any more money to develop it. By the time it was created, they only had a year to make the game, so they had to pull from lost world which was the latest iteration of HE1 which would be easier to work with (because of the updated features like 60fps support). Once again another issue of SEGA not caring for sonic and rushing them. Same people that tried to sell super sonic as DLC too. If sega gave them the money and team to develop HE2, forces would’ve probably pulled from gens physics or at least feel close to it

@bctalicorn809 Жыл бұрын

I have a soft spot for SA2 because it looks so spastic. To me, he has so much energy because of how exaggerated the animation is and when you pair that with the speed of the animation, it looks crazy. And his walk almost looks like he's trying to do a dance. I admit it looks wack, but it's also why I love it and it's my favorite walk cycle.

@Shade04rek Жыл бұрын

I didn't mind SA2's top speed being sporatic at all, I like it since it feels like there is air-resistance that sonic fights off as he hits that higher speed. It's also probably an effect of them trying to make his steps and bobbing real, but fast, but with sonic's cartoony short legs, so the bobbing is super frequent. In the more cartoon-styled games he usually stabilizes at highest speed animation, but his feet don't seem to exactly match his steps and the ground.

@spindash64 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the low speed animation is really janky, but the top speed actually looks really nice specifically because it has a bit more “bounce” to it: SA1’s fluidity is also very nice, but SA2’s animation trades some of the Grace for making it look more like sonic is really going full tilt

@ChReNiC Жыл бұрын

@@spindash64 That's exactly right. The jittery element to the animation makes it really feel like you're really running as fast as you can, which makes it leagues better in my eyes than later games where it feels borderline sleepy like Sonic isn't even really trying or feeling the physics of his speed. I feel similarly about Shadow's own skating animation in SA2, where it looks far wilder than any other following version. Like I get it, with hover skates he technically *should* be able to *carry* the speed he has better than with actual running, but I always preferred how there he looked like he was building all his speed through actual motion and not 'boost energy' or whatever would explain his new movement. It reminds me of the motions of an actual skater trying to build speed.

@cakeghoul Жыл бұрын

this is kinda related to the running animations, but I've always loved the sound of Sonic's footsteps in the games. just the fact their there is cool enough, but they also have it speed up depending on how fast he's going and even change how it sounds when running on different surfaces. e.g. metal flooring vs grassy areas. I think frontiers demonstrates this the best in my opinion, especially since the game only encourages you to go fast but never forces you. it allows you to take in the smaller things as well as be wowed by the more larger things.

The unleashed and Generation ones aren’t quite the same. Unleashed kept Sonic’s body still as he ran leaving most of the motion on his legs. In Generations however, his body lightly bobs with each step he takes. It’s a subtle little change, but it’s there.

@truecreation8803 Жыл бұрын

There’s another big difference which is what makes generations my favorite. When sonic is starting to run as he gets more and more speed his arms slowly extend backwards aswell as his hands slowly opening fully once he reaches max un-boosting speed. It looks way more natural than unleashed and I’m shocked they never brought it back. It pairs nicely well with the fact he squeezed his hands into fist as he’s boosting and putting a lot of effort.

I think the big killer of the Sonic 06 top speed run is his hands. They are wide open, flattened vertically, pointing directly to the side. Those giant hands seem like stiff parachutes that should be slowing Sonic down, and it looks wrong. Like, Sonic’s run usually looks good cause the arms are either purposely used or trailing behind, not out to the side looking like a hinderance. Heck, someone like Mario has his arms out to the side when he runs, but his hands are positioned to make his body look like it’s almost gliding, making him seem faster on his feet than 06 Sonic

Sure it doesn't make sense being on a hoverboard, but in Zero Gravity's case, you can tell better running cycles if you choose a gear like "The Crazy" which runs on ring energy and therefore makes you run when at zero rings.

The modern games make it seem like he's gliding along his feet opposed to running and you know...connecting with solid ground at varying heights, inclines, and declines. When he's running down the building in City Escape it honestly looks fine; he's not gonna be running in a perfect straight line when scaling a building that isn't perfectly flat People really expect a living being to move at Super Sonic speeds and not expect a bit of sporadic movement

Just a few things I'd like to point out that I see absolutely anyone talking about it: Quills drag It's when Sonic quills fall behind his head due to the speed he's running. Games like Unleashed/Colors/Gens do this, making his head sort of like a U shape, while games like Sonic adventure doesn't, keeping the shape of his head normal without taking into consideration the speed. Unleashed/Generations animation Even if they look very similar they're not the same animation. In unleashed the head movement is a vertical bopping, while in colors-generations his head moves side to side, making it look a bit goofy when viewed from above. Animation interpolation. The way multiple stages in sonic animation works is by interpolating his different animations based on speed. Lets say that speed 0 is his Idle pose, 30 jogging and 60 full running. If his speed is something like 45, it's going to try to interpolate the jogging and running animations, and because of the diference between arm movement (one pointing forward, and other backwards) it's just going to look like Sonic is flailing his arms in the middle, like the forces example you just gave.

My favorite sonic running animation is the one from unleashed. It’s just…I dunno, there’s something so charming about it. It’s complicated to explain. 😅😊 If I was making a sonic game, I would include that animation (with some tweaks to try and make it look better) and it’d be just perfect for me.

Im glad this video is picking up, i remember it only had a couple hundred views for a while since you had to re make your channel and lost a lot of your old audience

Something that’s gonna sound weird is I like watching sonic speedruns because people going fast in a series about going fast just makes sense to me

as clean as the boost era animations are, i kind of preferred the ones from say, the adventure games, heroes, 06, and lost world a bit more. there's not a whole lot of motion in his animation in the boost games, all that really moves are his legs. I liked how bouncy or animated the rest of his body was in older animations, makes it feel like he's actually pushing himself to top speed, still look great, just more a preference thing i guess

True, he’s very smooth now but we’ve lost the squishyness he used to have

@PhantomLee i think it was more of a horizontal sway, but i can't remember if it did to begin with or not

@PhantomLee hmm not really, he’s mostly static

I just realized. Sonic running at TOP speed is a heel striker (hence his bouncy animations) but when he hits MACH speed, he changes into a toe strike form. It very streamlined and REALLY gives the sense of pushing with all he’s got.

The Figure 8 Peelout animation will always be my favorite. And I love Lost world for doing it. I'd love for that to comeback.

A good detail of Jam's animation is his quills extend on his running animation to emphasise the speed

really good video i just wish you slowed down and went more in depth about what you thought as it felt you wanted to speedrun the video. really well edited too you should have way more subs than 3k!

To be honest, I have conflict about how Sonic's legs would look if he were moving really fast in real life. I believe if he were to move at the speed of sound, or even faster in real life, his legs will be almost invisible with after images appearing. I even believe that the stroboscopic effect and the Terrel effect will be influenced there, basically how things looks when they move really fast. I wonder if animators can achieve a realistic full speed running sonic, would it make him feel really fast or really off? (Movie sonic was fast but we always say sonic moves at the speed of sound. In the movie, it was kind of a joke when he did that quick silver move so I take that as not realistic sonic speed)

@Shade04rek Жыл бұрын

Realistic would probably look like sa2, very sporatic, specially with such short limbs and weight fighting air resistance. The game also doesn't naturally have sonic every move as fast as other games/media, but if you use cheats, the animation doesn't have a limit and goes faster too. When that happens, the character's legs kind of do become invisible, and even look like he's running his legs backwards, like how fans and wheels do sometimes.

I will forever love the decision of giving sonic this ninja run. I've always loved it. Not to mention knuckles as well. But his run in frontiers and forces is just his stage 3 run when hes at max speed...and I fucking hate it. In frontiers he doesnt keep the hunched over dash, he slows down and goes back to the stage 3 run...

@Leekodot15 4 ай бұрын

Regarding the Forces/Frontiers boost animations, I really love how _compact_ Sonic is! The way his quills get pulled together from the wind just gives us a sense of speed that no other game gave. Though I also like Colors' leaning in animations but Frontiers does it better for sharper turns, though Colors does make up for this with my favorite drift animation.
