[Preferred Character Designs Contest: 2 way match-up]

Round 2, Let's go with Sonic this time. Once Sonic stepped into the 3D field, he got a "modernized" redesign. This change isn't that drastic, but his games did get a drastic change in style. For his redesign, they gave him green eyes, he lost the potbelly, added yellow buckles to his shoes (although some classic pictures have it too), made his spikes longer, and gave him a sinister grin.

Choice # 1: Classic Sonic
From: Sonic The Hedgehog

Choice # 2: Modern Sonic
From: Sonic Adventure, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Colors

Discussion on which design you prefer is strongly encouraged. It doesn't have to be an in depth analysis, just let everyone know why you like the design you picked over the other one.

No contest. Classic Sonic.

Once again it's nostalgia talking. I grew up with Sonic in the Genesis games, the cartoons, and comic books, so in my mind that will always be THE Sonic.

I actually don't dislike the new Sonic design, but I'd be lying if I didn't associate it with how bad the series has gotten. Still, even if the games continued to be great I'd probably still prefer the classic style.

I'm gonna have to go with Classic as well. I like the redesign, and I love the modern style of gameplay, but since I grew up with the Genesis and even collected the comics, Classic Sonic is like my childhood hero.

I used to draw him over and over again, using the art from the Sonic 3 manual as reference. Something about his potbelly is actually really charming, and I wish that Sega would divide all future games into Classic and Modern, and go both ways with him for the franchise's future.

Modern. I actually barely played older Sonic games so I am much more familiar with the Modern look.

Classic Sonic.
Yes, Sonic the Hedgehog was my first game, but even without my nostalgia, I still like Fat Sonic the best. He doesn't look nearly as serious, and looks much more like a cartoon character, which he is.

It's actually a tough choice, but I'll go with Classic. Modern looks a little too "x-treme" for me.

Modern, because when I think Sonic, that's how I picture him. It's basically the same thing that Glenear said except for the modern version. My first Sonic game was STH2, I believe, but I barely remember playing it as a kid. The first Sonic game I played seriously was Sonic Adventure.

I played the hell out of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as a kid. :) I played a little STH1, and almost no STH3. I played the hell out of Adventure 2, and then Adventure 1 DX for the GCN later. :-D

Adventure 2 is pretty awesome. I 100%'d it, but it took several hours, probably around 70. That whole Chao Garden thing took a loooooong time. It was really fun getting A Ranks in every stage though. I wanna do it again some day. =D

I want to 100% SA1, and I've gotten all but five emblems before, because the memory card I was using wouldn't let me save Chao data because it was corrupted or something.

Sorry for getting off-topic though.
