[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.

*REMEMBER TO VOTE AT THE TOP!!*

That seems to be the most case with Sonic fans. It's divided right down the middle because a lot of the fanbase was introduced to Sonic for the first time on the Dreamcast. If you didn't play the originals on the Genesis (and that's actually a lot since back then, not a lot of people had a Genesis AND a SNES) so going back to them without playing them as a kid really effects your outlook on the games in general.

All good points mentioned about the designs, I too feel the new design is too "extreme". As far as gameplay goes, Modern Sonic does have a really unique style.

Modern, hands down. Kind of like with the last contest, there's alot more character towards the modern Sonic. Also, going with how Sonic was the 'Mario for Sega and older game audience', he matches the age a little... Kind of.

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.
I actually did 100% Sonic Adventure 1. I never perfected 2, though. I got every emblem except for the ones for getting A rankings in every mission. I did, however, get A rankings in every mission for Eggman and Tails. :)

Classic. Partly nostalgia, partly because modern Sonic looks like he's on crack. Those eyes make Caligula look like a rational, contributing member of society.

^Lol. His eyes do look weird in that picture, I used those two images specifically because they are sort of in the same stance so you can compare them easily.

As of right now, Modern is in the lead. The results of this match-up were really close, and I'm surprised how it went. I'll want a few more hours to see if anyone else wants to vote or just go with Modern as the victor.
