    To be honest I miss this Sonic.
    Jason gave Sonic such a special touch that I feel like it will never return.
    It felt so different, so unique.
    He really knew how to convey what Sonic really is with his voice, a free and heroic spirit who knew when to take things seriously, but without losing his characteristic charisma.
    This is the Sonic I grew up with.

    • @lukahmei2000
      @lukahmei2000 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      Not only that but his dialogue always felt natural and believable plus his voice always sounded fitting to me (like “that’s what he should sound like”). Jason had a human-like essence in his performance that no other Sonic VA before or after has even come close to mastering. His version was cocky but also had a caring and compassionate side too.

    I just thought they sometimes sounded alike but wouldn't have guessed they were the same guy!

    A lot of people saying he was at his best in Unleashed and Black Knight, but I really liked him in 06 too. It was pretty off in some points (which I blame the voice direction and the fact that they rushed the game), but I really like that he was a lot more soft spoken and had a really mature nature. For once he didn’t have a high amount of attitude or cockiness, it was still there but much lighter. I know he was originally made to have that 90’s attitude, but I just really grew to like that personality/voice tone for Sonic unlike in the other games, side for Unleashed which was relatively the same.

    Damn I miss Jason Griffith voicing Sonic and Shadow. He was one of my favorite VAs next to Ryan Drummond and David Humphrey respectively. I really miss the 4kids cast and the Adventure cast man. I wish Sega would of kept them around instead of hiring new people in 2010, but it is what it is. I don't hate the new cast. I really like them in Sonic Boom, but man it hurts not hearing the old voices in the current games knowing they'll probably never come back, but on the bright side though at least we still have Mike Pollock around so that's good I guess? Who knows maybe if we eventually get that Sonic Adventure remake Sega will considering bringing back the old cast to reprise their roles? We could only hope...

    I love Roger Craig Smith as a VA, but he's just not Sonic (he's good as Boom Sonic). Jason Griffith started off rocky in the beginning but over time developed into his own take and it became truly the definitive version of Sonic to me. Roger has had nearly double the time to improve his take on the character that Jason did and it just hasn't gotten any better.

      Ryan Drummond will always remain one of my favorite Sonic VAs, grew up on the Adventure series and I can't see any other VA delivering the same amount of corny charm as he did. But after Heroes i felt that they were allowing Sonic as a character to grow up a bit more, he was still energetic and headstrong to some degree, but he cared a lot more and he had some really heartwarming moments when Jason Griffith had the helm. However since Roger Craig Smith took over I feel like Sonic as a character has been in a regression and there's no charm or personality to him anymore beyond the really forced humor and "can-do-anything" attitude. Again I chalk a lot of this up to poor voice direction and abysmal writing. Id like to see what Roger can do with a much better crafted script and more focused direction, but I also don't know what to expect really.

      "Chip... R-run, Chip!"
      Black Knight :
      "Well, it's your fault, you're a sad excuse for a teacher!"
      "Sounds good to me!"
      "Oh yeah!? Says you!"
      "Stop calling me "knave"! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!"
      "Whatever you oversized letter opener."
      "Heh! Not the sharpest tool in the shed, huh?"
      "Hey, Tails!? Nah, it can't be... This is the smithy, right?"
      "I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! I have no master except the wind that blows free!"
      "This is it, old pal..."
      "Yes! I did it!"
      "Listen. It's like I said before... Isn't there more to being a knight than serving a king?"
      "Just one question before we settle this. Why'd you do it? Weren't we trying to save this kingdom from the underworld?"
      "What good is a world that goes on forever!?"
      And his screamd during Merlina crushing him.
      "It was never about chivalry for me... I just gotta do what I've gotta do, that's all."
      "Merlina... Every world has its end. I know that's kinda sad, but... That's why we gotta live life to the fullest in the time we have. At least, that's what I figure."
      If you call that "no emotion", you have a problem. The only time we call Jason with "no emotion" is when he dubbes Shadow, but precisely in the good kind, because he is SUPPOSED to be with "no emotion", he perfectly fits the "no emotion" ascept of Shadow.

    To me, this will always be the definitive Sonic voice. Nothing against any of the other voice actors, especially Roger Craig Smith, they all did good jobs too; I really liked Roger's work in the Sonic Boom cartoon.
    But to me, Jason Griffith will always be the OG Sonic voice. Nowadays whenever I read Sonic fanfiction, Jason's voice is the one I hear in my head when I read Sonic's dialogue

      Roger isn’t that bad of a sonic voice. Though I do prefer Jason by a long shot, the reason why Roger isn’t the greatest is because of the current sonic writing style. It makes sonic seem less like he did back in the early 2000’s and it seems like he can never take anything seriously. But hey that’s just my opinion- lol
