Silly sprite art nitpick

[Drip]

Is it me or is it weird that they went with a more HD version of the Sonic 2 sprite? Wouldn't it have made more sense timeline-wise to either be a more HD version of the "Sonic 3" or to just make a new sprite of Sonic for this game? (Yes i know his Mania sprite is new techncally but it's still just a more smooth and detailed version of "Sonic 1 /Sonic 2" Sonic)

I know right, I would prefer to have Sonic 3 sprite but anyway it is a good game and there will be a mod about that

I prefer Sonic 3's sprite aswell. Maybe it's just because I love S3&K.

Well both this and the fact that I love how determined and detailled he looks

I think the sprites are cool but the color schemes are a bit too bright. Knuckles looks pink instead of red. Sonic could use a more dark blue taint as well.

I liked the Purple-ish color of Sonic in the first game

Yep, Knuckles looks more Salmon than red

I prefer the S2/1 sprite style, so it was good for me. S3 sprite is good, but i don't REALLY like it at all.

I think is because the part of the eyes is different. Well, S3 sprites are gods compared to the Advance's sprites

I see the smaller eyes, but I barely notice that.

Also the Advance sprites are based on Modern Sonic that's why these sucks

I think they just wanted a sprite that more obviously looked like the classic sprite design.

Personally, I much preferred the style of the S2 sprite, too. I wasn't really a fan of the smaller pupils, rounder feet, and more plastic-y look of 3's.

Sonic 1/2's sprites feels more on-model with the original artwork and doesn't have all the weird issues that Sonic 3's sprites do; the weird bendy nature of the shoes (compare the running animation of Sonic 2 vs Sonic 3), the enormous hands in proportion to the body, the tiny two/three pixel eyes, the permanent goofy smile...

As someone that used to adore and reguarly make pixel art for the Sonic 3 style, it's something you grow to appreciate more about Sonic 1/2's sprites as you more personally work with sprites.

Just because it's Modern Sonic, it sucks? I smell a biased :p, they didn't look that bad. Ya need a better reason than "I don't like Modern Sonic" XD
