@@Robokoop4000 I heard rumors that Big may have been Inspired by My Neighbor Totoro. He's large cat with an umbrella that hangs out with two girls in Sonic Hero's.🧐
What if, Big is actually one of the strongest characters in the franchise. His parents with cat like senses seeing how strong he could potentially be restricted his access to things such as school, socialization with his own species and learning his kind's violent culture. Which is why he can only speak in basic sentences. Perhaps the reason he enjoys frogs is because frogs are known for being delicate and friendly creatures unlike him and his species. And fishing is a non-violent way he can eat, live, relax and spend time. He doesn't show fear when confronted with eggman's threats because unlike Sonic he's durable enough to not rely on speed to survive and we never see him struggle with heavy objects or equipment despite never doing anything that qualifies as training unlike knuckles who regularly practices his techniques. We never see him even have a desire to collect the chaos emeralds because the only reason anyone ever does is to increase their durability , strength and stamina for combat related purposes. Considering Big is aware of the mental state of his kind he doesn't want to risk gaining such power and letting his newfound strength corrupt him because when his species gets strength they're only desires to conquer over the innocent. Also considering that Big is of same anthro species as Sonic but a different feline race implying he can also go super .so it's not a matter of he can't but a matter is what he fears the power will turn him into, what he was born as and what he's trying not to become. But hey! That's just a theory. A Sonic theory!
Big casualy walks trhough walls like the kool aid man and flips cars singlehandeldly like they are pillows, so he def is one of if not the strongest. He's also getting smarter in the canon and Prime series with every installment, his only flaw imo. He's less of a Lemmy now and more of a Curly.
Lol I never knew Duke's voice actor played Big, makes me wish he had more lines now. Who would have thought his backstory would be so crazy, his kind were barbaric! Keep up the great work man
Big the Cat is one of my favourite characters and it annoys me a bit when people treats him as a joke. Big to me represents pure friendship, he would do the impossible to chase after Froggy to keep it safe and out of any danger; that's adorable.
Supposedly Big was supposed to be controlled with the Dreamcast fishing controller but the fishing game and controller wasn't ready in time. It came out 6 months later than SA1.
Man I wish they did more with him, he's one of my favourite characters. Honestly I don't really see why people find it creepy that he hangs around Amy and Cream, I personally see it as a guardian role. I do love his roles in the comics, those have to be my favourite part about him.
Am I the only one who expected Knuckles, even with the fact that he’s supposed to be the eldest brother figure of Sonic & Tails (& Amy & even Sticks & maybe even Cream) to be the guardian and Power Leader of Team Rose?
For team rose my impression was they were on a beach that big usually frequents for fishing and just became pals that day in the cutscene. Also maybe was doing a My Neighbor Totoro kinda thing, two girls befriending a big fluffy creature
Glad you gave him some light. I feel like everything requires “the idiot” role. Idiots are wildcards. They tent to be funny (to most people) but often ‘off-the-wall’ in what they do, and so they can be very useful for turning plots on their heads, or throwing a wrench in the works for your protagonists. Great video btw, very funny.
Big used to be really hated during the previous decade. Most notably, Nintendo Power: Unless Big starts acting a bit more like Duke Nukem, their opinion back in 2011 was that they wanted him to "Die in a fire, and take Froggy with [him]".
Big the cat was also there to promote Sega's bass pro fishing game and an endorsement deal. His sections were the best parts of the game to me. But I was a sucker for fishing games, I've also made my own fishing games, and it also was a game that did the best, even better than games I worked on in teams, even better than my desert bus 2d improvement clone.
Big is my favorite sonic character because of how simple he is.Hes a peaceful guy from a race of kid eating barbarians who cares deeply for those he cares about.He will protect people cause well,thats the kind of guy he is.Unlike the others of his kind hes a protector,not a killer.He will only fight to protect those around him and for nothing less then that.
I guess no one going mentioned that to me, he reminds me of both Totoro and Snorlax in a way maybe that's where he got his inspiration from? That's why I kinda always like him but his eyes are more of the creepy spectrum.
Confession: In spite of the fact he is named Big the CAT, I saw his huge ears and said to myself, "What an odd, purple rabbit". Thank you for explaining this fellow.
Now that you mention it, Big being in Team Rose *is* kinda weird, isn't it? Also I'm laughing so hard at the archie backstory for him. It's just so wtf.
I don’t understand why they had to give the role of idiot to Knuckles when they already had Big. I don’t play a lot of fishing games so I don’t know how they could improve on Big’s original gameplay. Due to his slow speed and limited jump height, he’s not that great at platforming. And some of his abilities in Sonic Heroes were a little arbitrary, like swinging around his fishing rod as a mace. Maybe he could use his fishing rod more like a grapple instead. I always found it weird how Big’s eyes are so tiny and yellow whereas other cats like Honey and Blaze have eyes that are more like traditional Sonic characters. I saw some storyboards from Sonic Heroes where his eyes were larger like that, so maybe they at one point considered a redesign for Big. Honestly I think they should have redesigned him like that. And I find it utterly hilarious that in SA2, there’s a cutscene where you get him to spawn in, he sees Rouge and starts doing something really disgusting. Like WTF Big this is a kids game!
I like to think that big is cartoonishly strong and he just never uses his full strength, imagine big just relaxing with froggy and a few others like Amy, cream, and a few others. He hasn’t had the best week and he also just finished a journey to get froggy so he’s a little offset right now. Suddenly eggman, chaos(7 chaos emeralds evil), infinite(has funny gem), and a few other antagonists pop out of seemingly nowhere and threaten all of big’s friends’s lives there along with trying to threaten big himself. They then almost kill froggy for being some random interfering frog and then big snaps. It cuts back to big sleeping on a beach chair with everybody else perfectly fine, it seems that it was all a dream. Then it shows all those villains behind a rock and badly hurt with a few of them knocked out, fearing for their lives as they realize that big caused immeasurable pain to them then turned back time with them keeping all their injuries and memories of the event with nobody else seeming to have realized what didn’t happen.
I would recommend using the original japanese stories of the games and not english ones i understand you maybe dont know japanese and that is why you dont use them but windii has translated lot of the japanese cutscenes. (unfortunately most of her videos were deleted but there are some repost i have made a playlist of most of the reposts.) but other than that good video. There are also a few retranslated mods you can use. And the voice acting is just way better.
"18 year old" my ass. Sonic crew was so bad at making characters even remotely look their age kfjhfkh. I love Big though and this video is perfect. Good job, dude
@@TheMentok I'm surprised someone actually knows who it is. Also dang, Davy Sprocket really does do that to people, doesn't he. I had an older friend also tell me he made them upset for some reason. I guess he just sort of does that hhh
Is it me or Big seems like some sort of inspiration to SCP-999? Both were born by a super deadly race despite being the complete opposite, hence being one of, if not, the strongest asset in their respective series.
I love to think that he's just Duke Nukem after taking the WRONG steroids and the whole Sonic franchise is just a byproduct of his drug induced fever-dream.
I mean this completely unironically Big the Cat is my favorite sonic character He’s just so big, dumb and simple And he’s purple As much as I love his design, I do wish he looked more like a cat or have him be a raccoon cuz when I was young I only knew his name was Big and didn’t know he was a cat and I thought he was a raccoon
I think that if Sega does a fishing game at all, they should at least give big a cameo and I think if they wanna have them be involved in the larger stories of the sonic universe you just gotta make sure that he knows what’s going on because he’s mostly content to just chill with froggyunless forced into the situation
So essentially he’s possibly a heavily medicated young adult cat with a frog companion animal and also if he’s off his meds you likely better off not being around him. (Signal: my guess big was babysitting cream before the events of sonic heroes.)
The only thing I need to know: was Big still Big when he was little? And since he was once little, why did they name him Big if he was little? Would he have been Little the Cat then? Did he earn that name? Is it a title or something? THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW
6.1% gang represent! I like that Fan artists likes putting Big, Blaze and sometimes Honey in the same picture because of their similarities visually. Cats is one the only other species besides hedgehogs that et more than one characters in Sonic.
How do you kill someone that strong, honestly there probably is more to big than we know, considering how he is constantly making cameos even going as far as to show up in sonic frontiers cyber space without getting corrupted unlike amy, knuckles, and tails
Maybe if Big the Cat was voiced by Frank Welker, he wouldn't get this much hate. But seriously, Frank would be a fitting voice for Big, since his voice for Horror from "The Pagemaster" does sound identical to Big's but with more charm & humor.
Well you done all cllassic series and oldest modern character big. It just have sence to now go with e-102 gamma because he is second oldest modern sonic character. But first do metal sonics. You haven't done those. You know silver sonic, mecha sonic and metal sonic. Place them all in one video.

Can you please do one for Cream the rabbit and another separate one on Sticks, Vector, Whisper, Silver and Espio really soon!?
I personally love how big has virtually nothing to do with the rest of the cast
well that's the point, he was a background character who accidentally got involved with the story
Like the base Sonic fan base apperently
He likes them young
To be fair the same mostly applies to his co-star Gamma. Although Amy was important to his arc.

I know who's big's dad is
If u put him as a guardian then it makes sense why he hangs out with girls 2x younger then him
I always saw big as like Totoro and Amy and cream are like Satsuki and Mei from My Neighborhood Totoro! He is like a chill older brother :3

What is the animation at 0:07?
1. I think he was based off of Totoro.
2. So the Archie Comics had made him a Jar Jar Binks.

Can we just admit that it is a war crime that big wasn’t in forces?
Comics made big and his people into Jar-Jar and the gungans.
I've been a fan of Big The Cat ever since the Sonic social media channels called him "Cancer" in the form of a Zodiac sheet.
So essentially he’s possibly a heavily medicated young adult cat with a frog companion animal and also if he’s off his meds you likely better off not being around him. (Signal: my guess big was babysitting cream before the events of sonic heroes.)
