I really don't mind the sprite at all and I like it. I do also agree on how it's been used alot after falling from a spring in fan games and in megamix just because it looked cool.

However, I believe there was more of a use behind this sprite, at least when it comes to just being an "I'm outta here" pose. The eyes still look strange even if he was "looking down".

Wasn't the perspective of that particular scene super weird anyway?

But yeah the effect that entire thing gave was a 'holy shit did that just happen?' on the first time. I'm sure I'd have the same thing to say about fake3D loops if it happened every 3 seconds.

Now we just need everyone to start using it.

Someone give this to Taxman. I just like it that much.

[Falk]

Taxman? There's nothing wrong with the way the original sprite was used in Sonic CD. D:

Perhaps for the I'mOuttaHere animation, but it's out-of-place for every goddamn spring in the game. Unless we're talking Collision Chaos's boss, because then the annoyed-face makes sense.

[Falk]

Sonic CD doesn't use the sprite for descending-from-springs. .___. Neither does Taxman's retro engine. (as far as I know)

And in fact Collision Chaos 3 has only one vertical spring, and that spring puts Sonic into rolling mode since it's the start of the pinballing section, I.e. it doesn't even do the 360' spinny upwards thing.

This thread would have been in general discussion and not fangaming discussion otherwise. ;p

But it's not used on the spring poses in Sonic CD.

It was, God knows where Sonic is supposed to look during those pseudi-3D loops as it looked it could be looking down and at the front at the same time.

I like where this is going, we need to obtain perfection with this sprite, stat!

I use it sort of when sonic is using knuckles power up in Classic 2. Meh, you don't see if that often.

I also hate to say it, but I saw that sprite for the falling off a spring waaayyy before megamix. It's one of those idea's everyone has.

But now it looks even more different from the rest of the CD/S1 sprites!

Not sure about the actual sprite being used so often, but I don't have much problem with it in itself. I also never took as much offence to the supposed eye-contact as everyone else apparently does!

[Falk]

Well, to reiterate, it's not so much the eye contact as it is not looking where he's going.

That's kind of what women drivers do.

[Donnyku]

For what it's worth, it was used for "falling" before Megamix, I know I used it in all my unfinished fangames for such a purpose.

[LakeFeperd]

I just made this for Sonic BTS


I think the eyes look better like this

Eh, it looks like he's glaring at an explosion he's just caused behind him...like SAdva2's ending, iirc, rather then at the ground.
