It sounds like funny, but it's not.

  • they/them preferred. he ok

no minors please


i know this isn't an UNPOPULAR opinion but among my friends i think i'm the only one whose favorite english sonic VAs are the current game cast? roger craig smith hits the "smug, cocky sonic" and the "warm, mature friend sonic" alike. he does a great job at walking both lines. and i like his sonic voice being more "adult" than past takes?

similarly, i feel like mike pollock wasn't great in his earlier eggman stuff under 4kids but came to fluorish at it around unleashed where he got to flex "goofy eggman" and "sinister eggman" and walk the line - which is important! deem bristow was probably a bit better at being evil, and long john baldry was unmatched at hamming it up, but eggman truly has to be both!!!

i will say i am not a fan of the current shadow VA but also he hasn't been given a chance to... do anything. he told sonic he's got this. thats pretty much it. so i feel i should reserve judgment

Sega seems very hesitant to do anything with Shadow nowadays and I'm perplexed by this. Apparently Ian Flynn wasn't allowed to do anything with Shadow in Frontiers. But yeah, i like Roger Craig Smith as Sonic a lot. Ryan Drummond will always be THE Sonic voice in my mind due to nostalgia but RCS does a real good job with his own take at Sonic

I don't think Kirk Thornton's Shadow voice is good at all for the character but he uses it so much lol. It's the exact same voice as Saïx Kingdomhearts. Igor Personafive sounds a lot like Shadow too. I saw a clip of the Baki dub and Yujiro Hanma's voice is just Shadow, it's pretty funny. Also I'm looking at his Behind The Voice Actors page and learning that he voiced Donald Trump in a CGI kids' movie about Queen Elizabeth's corgi
