I actually have an idea for how Knuckles could take a break from being the guardian, he doesn’t have to be the only one! This could give them the excuse/reason to bring back Tikal, or even better, introduce modern Trip! The sun gazers have this connection to the chaos emeralds, why not bring that back? It could even be something played for comedy, that the master emerald has three guardians and that they take shifts😂, also I’d love to see Rouge interact with both Tikal and Trip

Alright, ima throw my hat into the ring for a potential Part 2: Caliburn is the perfect Sonic gimmick. Think about it. Sonic, at his core, is a spikey ball. The sword can be considered an extra long spike at the end of said ball. In gameplay, Sonic rolls into a ball with the sword on the end and uses it to buzzsaw through enemies at lightspeed. In addition to this being really satisfying to do on its own, it just feels so appropriate as a gimmick, because it's just an EXTENSION (metaphorically and literally) of Sonic's whole schtick that he's had since 1991. I also really like it thematically, because I think that the sword works really well as a weapon for this character much better than a sling ring or shotgun ever could. Sword combat is fast, elegant, and precise, just like Sonic. It also helps, like I said, that it's just FUN AF to use. We need more gimmicks like Caliburn.

Honestly, Sega needs to give more characters a chance in the light outside of other media to flesh them out more. Look at Heroes, for example. Sure, it isn't the best game, personally, I like it, but it brought a lot of characters to a new light for better or... maybe worse? Bring more characters in. Also for the Knuckles, Master Emerald situation... their is Chaos. You know cause it is said that he comes around in "Times Great Crisis" though we only see him again in Battle, Generations as a boss, and Forces as a clone who we don't fight. Chaos could take over Knuckle's job while also protecting Chao.

Dunno if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I think Amy should get her own game highlighting why she's so important to Sonic and his friends. If Peach and Zelda can get games, so can she. Her being the heart of the team and her iron will to never give up are core aspects that should be highlighted. She was a prime member of the resistance in IDW's first arc for a reason. Speaking of, her characterization recently in Frontiers and IDW is amazing. Hope she makes it into the movie universe soon. As far as the gameplay of this Amy game, my thoughts immediately go to either a Paper Mario style RPG (both have hammers lol) or maybe something like Hi-Fi Rush. Can we also agree 2023 was The Year of Amy even if it wasn't official? Several playable appearances, a birthday game and comic... Of course if Sega wanted to make sonamy canon in this supposed game, I'd have no problems with that but it's their prerogative.

And second: I want to give my opinion. Okay, this may well be a big unpopular opinion but I really think Roger Craig Smith is a great voice actor for Sonic and I still do to this day. From seeing his performance in games and cartoons like Boom, OK KO Crossover and such. He definitely has the energy, the only thing is that's kinda holding him back is well...some voice directions he was given at times, which can be off and what he was given to work with, such as the writing in the games like Lost World and Forces. However, in other media like I said cartoons for instance, he was really good with his performance. Heck, things seems to be improving since Frontiers and Roger still does a good job as Sonic.

Here's one from me: Shadow does not need Maria. Maria does not need to be brought up every time Shadow is there. In the canonical ending of Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow decides to put his entire past behind him, and even throws away a picture of Maria & Gerald. Maria is a dead character and does not need to be brought up every time Shadow has to make a decision on anything because he does not want to be held back by that anymore, but because fans can't understand that this is now being retconned and it is hurting Shadow's character more than anything else.

That's why I'm excited for SXSG, since the shadow story will add way more content to the game, and more fanservice that's more then just, green hill zone again.

That’s something I wouldn’t really want as well (at least not as their main dynamic). The best dynamic for them would be an equal one where both shine equally. I don’t want Silver to get a game & Blaze to be his sidekick. I don’t want Blaze to get a game & Silver to be her sidekick. I want a Silver & Blaze game where both characters get equal spotlight & game time, and I don’t think that’s impossible as neither character is Sonic or one of the mains.

Here's my hot take, Blaze should be Sonic's recurring rival instead of Shadow. Shadow feels very disconnected from Sonic, and let's be real the "brooding dark antihero rival" trope is a little tired at this point. Meanwhile, Blaze just has more interesting contrasts with Sonic in abilities and personalities. Their conflicts with each other could be more interesting too, possibly being the result of very different values or being friendly competitions to test each other's abilities, as opposed to two people who randomly have beef with each other for some reason. And I know there's the issue of Blaze living in another world, but they've already established that there isn't much of a threat left in the Sol Dimension after Sonic Rush Adventure, and she regularly shows up regardless. Heck maybe there could be a status quo change in a game that ends up having the Sol Dimension combine with Sonic's world and turn into a new continent so she doesn't have to do interdimensional traveling anymore.

Here’s a Hot Take: The Modern Versions of the characters drastically need a redesign. Their current proportions & features are arguably the worst they’ve ever been in the series. While what they did go a bit far in some areas, what they did with the Sonic Boom versions of the characters is what we need right now. The head & hands especially (whenever a character ever folds their arms, they just end up having their whole arms in their hands!) Also, the whole classic cartoon character aesthetic just doesn’t work for the Modern deigns of the characters. The large white gloved cartoon aesthetic only works with cartoon-y versions of the characters (like their Classic designs), so the shounen anime type direction just doesn’t work with Modern Sonic with those classic cartoon character aesthetics

Pacifically a team fighter where you select three characters we have a perfect example for that on the Advanced era and I'm looking forward to how they're going to explain Sonic Battle story without one releasing it because it's hot garbage, And 2 proving that shadow the hedgehog was actually a good game if they just didn't let a certain gimmick that was popularized in the 90s exist thanks to Bioware which explains why bio is considered the poison spell in Final Fantasy. Now a not so hot take but then again might be considered a unpopular opinion: Sonic and the Dark Brotherhood have been a good game if they had done three things, One higher Chemot [Not bothering to look up and see if I spelled it] Instead of bioware because then they would have had the A team instead of the B team, Number two not put it on the ds and put it on the wii and move One of the other games onto the ds that they had to put it there I believe they had a contract that stated that they had to have at least three games on the Wii. And finally number three and this is my most hated part of the decision process hire kinpenders to be the writer because they were going to use half of his work anyhow they might as well just have hired him and it would have shut him up for a while.

i have a few opinions i want to share 1: the classic cast should be able to talk 2: bro bring back shiro maekawa as the writer for the series 😭😭 none of the other writers get the characters right like he does man 3: there shouldnt be a split between clsssic and modern sonic. they should be treated like the same characters bc they are. also if they did want a split, making classic "sonic from the past" HEAVILY limits the potential creative stories that could come out of those games lastly 4: sonic should NOT be focused so much on the lore. i feel like the stories of the games should be 1 and done (occasional sequels could be fine). certain important factors should follow along into the next game but i think focusing so much on the lore and how everything connects is limiting the creativity of the writers. think of zelda, technically there IS lore to the games but in the beginning they werent thinking of that (also they always follow what trend zelda has set so why not follow this too). every game is a new adventure and its not always connected to the last. im not saying there should be a new sonic every game but that they dont always need to be focusing on the past. every game should act kinds like a soft reset, some affects may still be there while some not (example: eggman blows up half the moon snd now in every game u see its still in half)

Here’s mine: I hate it when Sonic’s own friends get mad at him (re; when Tails fought Sonic in the mid-late 2000s Archie series, when Knuckles also wanted to fight him even though Sonic deserved better and when Amy wanted to hit him with a Piko-Piko Hammer. Does she have a right to be mad at/disappointed in Sonic when he stood her up on dates? Yes. But that still doesn’t change the fact that she took it too far when there are worse characters, whether we’re supposed to hate them or we’re supposed to like them like Tails in the 2010s games but they end up written to be out of character in the franchise that really deserve it more than a teenage man like Sonic who did more good than harm!) as if he were scum in the 2000s Sonic media because compared to the 2010s, that was when he was consistently in character as a shonen-esque anime character where he’s not perfect (perhaps him pissing off exes even do he doesn’t mean to counts as a flaw? I mean, then again, in the comics, Fiona Fox literally deserved it for cheating on Sonic with his evil counterpart while Sally Acorn only got better when Ian Flynn rewrote her to feel more in character like in the Sonic SatAM/early Archie says) but he saves a lot of lives and genuinely wants to make the world a better place.

A person who shows extroverted and introverted traits is known as an ambivert. Somebody who can interact with people a lot, but need to break when they get overwhelmed or tired In my opinion this fits Sonic a lot better. Because we often see Sonic by himself just running around after the day is saved from an adventure with his friends. Being ready to jump into action after a nice deserved break

Imagery of what Sonic used to be like doesn't do a lot for me, because there was edge, 'tude, and constantly new characters and ideas *for the time*. But culturally we've grown so much. And now Sonic (ESPECIALLY in those movies) is weirdly conservative and bland. Also, Sonic Boom had the formula for an absolute banger of a Sonic game with many good ingredients, but cooked poorly. • Sonic OCs for NPCs and villain! • New expressive artstyle and designs (everyone but Knuckles has FANTASTIC new designs) • Multiplayer across characters • Upgrades • Exploration and puzzles • Team combat sections • It's also just a great Sonic game name

If you wish to make a part 2 to this, here's my hot take on Sonic IDW I don't like the (new) Diamond Cutters. I will divide each section of this hot take between each of the characters on said team. -Whisper. I love Whisper and her story that she brings to the sonic series. However, one of the things that wasn't explored as much was the original diamond cutters. So the idea of Whisper joining a team again might give us more lore on the old diamond cutters. Like how she met and joined them, the missions they went on together, the relationship dynamics and more. However, we never got that except for a few lines here and there. Plus, to put further insult to injury, the team is called the Diamond Cutters. -Lanolin. Lots of people would think I dislike her specifically because of the silver and whisper scene. However, I don't think they're looking at the bigger picture. First of all, she was built up from Issue 2 that she was going to be a major character so obviously people were expecting big things from this character, keep that in mind. Second of all, despite being one of the major characters in Urban Warfare arc, we barely see much of Lanolin in Urban Warfare. So you don't have much time to connect with her character. Not only that, but the stuff that we did get revolving around Lanolin implied that she had ways to go before becoming a great leader. So you would expect the writers to take their time with this character arc they've given her and give her moments that would resonate with people. But instead they skip all of that so Lanolin can become a more experienced leader right off the bat as after Urban Warfare, she seems to have lost any sort of low self esteem she already had and has now become a stereotypical leader. Now combine all of these attributes, as well as the misunderstanding trope and put Lanolin up against 2 characters (Aka Whisper and Silver), who have more experience, more interesting movesets, character arcs, and arguably personalities and you have a recipe for disaster. And last but not least, Tangle. Tangle is my favorite sonic character of all time. One of the biggest reasons as to why that is, is because of her personality. Not only is she lighthearted, confident, overly dramatic, is able to smile in even the most dire situations and is very comedic. And you may be thinking to yourself, Isn't that just Amy Rose, but with a stretchy tail instead of a hammer? No, because one of the defining traits that sets these two characters apart from one another and in my opinion makes Tangle a much preferable character over Amy Rose is her Interactions and her comedy. One of the reasons why I prefer Tangle over Amy is because Amy’s Character is solely tied around Sonic, Not that that's a bad thing, but it does make the comedy and interactions feel a lot more repetitive because they tend to tread similar ground because lots of them tend to be centered around sonic in some sort of way. Whereas Tangle doesn't have such restrictions because she doesn't interact with one specific character, she interacts with anything and everyone around her as well as having goofy, mischievous and over the top antics, plus a love for adventure and her versatile, stretchy tail. You get my favorite sonic character. Now imagine all of those traits taken away bit by bit until she becomes a boring and uninteresting shell of her former self. Now she's stuck with 2 characters. Whisper has already Interacted with her a lot, which wasn't really a problem since she still had other characters to interact with, but now they are now together all the time and it’s getting repetitive (They were not even using this as a chance to explore relationship territory.) and Lanolin, who you would expect Tangle to have lots of conflict with her. Since, lanolin is a very lawful character and Tangle is not, and Tangle has even said that she doesn't like rules. But there isn't any, Tangle just reluctantly obeys her orders without any pushback. But all of this wouldn't have been as big of a problem if it wasn't for issue 47, which had Tangle leave the Restoration in order to have her own freedom to do what she wanted, which really fit how the story was planning to go for her. Since, she’s a chaotic good character and she has said multiple times that she doesn't like working for the restoration. Plus, this could have been used as a way to explore the world of Sonic IDW as well as meet new characters and tell more stories. But that never happens, which really sucks.

This might date me a little, but this is probably a weird, unpopular opinon: As much as I love all the VAs that have voiced Sonic over the years, I feel like SEGA should've done what Nintendo eventually did and keep 1 VA. And that VA, in my opinion, should've been Jaleel White, the O.G. I feel like he really doesn't get as much love in the modern era as Ryan, Jason or Roger all do, which is a shame considering him playing Sonic played a huge part in Sonic's original popularity in different ways. He was definitely a good example of celebrity voice acting done right, and if SEGA had planned it right (and paid/treated him right), they could've kept him on and gradually changed his voice over the years when needed (whether to age up Sonic's voice like they did with Roger, or to accommodate for Jaleel getting older). It's one of the more overlooked things I think Nintendo had them beat on.

100% agree with the Knuckles take actually, even if I also don’t want it to be destroyed. Knuckles is supposed to be part of a core trio with Sonic and Tails. The three of them are the ORIGINAL trio in fact, and we can’t have one of the characters in the core trio constantly needing to justify their presence. We don’t need to justify Sonic’s presence in a story. He lives free, does what he wants, and is always down to help others when they need it. You can take him anywhere. Tails has historically just been Sonic’s buddy who goes where he goes, so Sonic’s flexibility kinda translates to him, and now with Tails going his own way to follow in Sonic’s footsteps but on his own, Tails doesn’t even need Sonic to be around to get involved with a story. Knuckles on the other hand is built like a “special event character”, the type that you only pull out for big moments like Forces, despite his intended role. I mean, angel island falls out of the sky any time the Master Emerald is taken/destroyed, think about that. We have all the building blocks for a character who literally enters every story he hypothetically participates in with a crash and a boom, like the world itself is saying “Uh oh, now Knuckles is on the loose. That’s how you KNOW this has gotten serious.” Again, he’s built like a special event character, with the building blocks of a highly specialized and dramatic goal/motivation. It’s actually kinda interesting how they repeated this same mistake with the other trio they were setting up, the hedgehog/adventure trio. Sonic is the common thread between the two, so no need to reiterate there, and Shadow has a flexible enough goal and motivation to be a consistent cast member too. He fights to keep humanity’s hopes and dreams alive to honor the memory of his dead friend. Like Sonic, that can take him anywhere. And then you have Silver. He has the same broad desire to protect/save the world, but he’s from the future, and he can’t get involved with the rest of the cast unless he’s literally time traveling. Once again, the third member of a prospective trio is a special event character who only comes out once we’re doing something big. Just look at his role in Forces. I feel like they very explicitly do the “Look, HE’S here, that’s how you know this is serious” thing I was talking about earlier that Knuckles feels built for despite never doing it with him. So yeah, free Knuckles from the Master Emerald.

The Werehog wasn't that bad as a gameplay style. People just hated it because it slowed down a character known for being extremely fast (especially with the Daytime stages in Unleashed putting it on full display). If the gameplay style was used for someone like Knuckles, people wouldn't have had a big issue with it.

They shouldn’t make something that didn’t sell well no longer canon, just their own universe or quite literally just a test. A lot of non canon sonic games, comics and series are so good and have many of fan fav characters, but just cause it didn’t sell well or Sega wants to try something new, doesn’t mean you can just toss it away and say “oh yeah, it’s no longer canon, that was like 3 months ago lol.” Kinda ruins a bit of the charm for me.

I mean it would be funny though... **Sonic shippers is a absurity I like to make jokes off, since majority of the time, the whole Venn diagram looks like a colorpicker of similar people (the reason why some of them fight each other)** ...its pointless to make a conflict out of it, really...

-NiGHTS is a Sonic character. NiGHTS is in more Sonic games than NiGHTS games -Sonic Boom should be revived. If SEGA should do an experimental Sonic game, they should use the Sonic Boom name, cast, and designs. If it goes well then cool, expand on it with the main games, if not it's won't hit the franchise that hard because no one has high expectations for Sonic Boom. -Nine should be a rival to Tails in the main games the way Shadow is to Sonic. The rivalry form due to Nines jealousy of Tails life, friends and freedom.

Most moves in Frontiers do the same thing. Like, Cross slash is just a Sonic boom clone & there's basically 3 different alternate homing attacks, plus it's super boring & easy, not satisfying & super finiky. Heck, there's not even any unique mechanics apart from cyloop & phantom rush. You won't find any of that in Unleashed. Seriously, they should REALLY have Platinum Games help them with the next action Sonic game.

Heck, there he also didn't feel like he lost his "Rival" tittle either. Sure, Shadow, Scourge, and others were far more front and center, but since he had his own story going on I never got the feeling that Knuckles felt like pushed back.

His anime counterpart could never lay one finger upon sonic,sounds like discount clancy brown, falls for eggman's every lies hook line and sinker,his friends disrespect not listen and bully him into submission,and always did things harder not smarter. Sega tried giving him the spotlight but that game was obviously meant being something different with knuckles lazily slapped upon for marketing.
