why the fuck is his mouth on the side?
Animation reason, homie?
because he'd look like mickey mouse
>>320738536
Why are you overthinking a cartoon, slick? Not everything has to be bound in realistic conventions, y'know.
Why the fuck does he have one eye?
Why the fuck does he have two irises for one eye?
>>320739005
even though I've known this since 6th grade, I'm just now noticing how stupid it looks
and the worst thing about it? I think he's the only one in the game who does this. Maybe knux or Shadow, but everyone else has a normal mouth
Because when they tried doing the opposite, everyone looked like puppets.
>>320738536
The sidemouth is a trademark of Sonic.
When his mouth is in the center of his face, it looks weird.

>cartoon
Sonic isn't a cartoon. He's a video game. That mentality is why his games still suck now.
>>320739554
>He's a video game
A video game character who draws heavy influence from old western cartoon characters like Felix the Cat and Bugs Bunny.
This is why
>>320739946
Maybe it's because I grew up playing Adventure and Adventure 2 but they look fine to me. The rest of the face is the problem.
>>320740039
I guess it's the eyes.
>>320739005
It just works.
It helps to make him more identifiable (the eyes are the only reason you can tell that this is Sonic) and conjoined eyes do just as good a job at conveying emotion as separated ones.
>>320738536
Stylistic design, it only really looks stupid when his mouth is open.
>>320738536
Easier to animate + it makes it so that his mouth is always facing the camera.
I really hate Sonic's design. The eyes, the mouth, the everything.
Even old design is also pretty shite.
>>320738536
He's like a Flounder with both eyes on one side.
>>320738536
easier to take a dick from the side.
It's a retarded style choice, like seeing eyes through hair in anime
>>320739946
SOMETHING BUGGIN YA?
>>320741332
Eyes through hair has a purpose.
Well, two purposes. One is that it saves time. The second is that eyes are the most expressive part of the face, so you typically don't want your character's eyes to be covered (which is also why expressive masks are a thing).
Sonic is a cancer of this world
>shit design
>shit characterization
>aimed at kid audience
>Sega continues to ride this dick even though they have other amazing franchises they chose to ignore

>shit design
His design is the only reason he's survived this long.
>shit characterization
See above.
>aimed at kid audience
Irrelevant.
>Sega continues to ride this dick even though they have other amazing franchises they chose to ignore
If those franchises are so great, how come they don't sell half as much as Sonic does?
>>320741834
No, Sonic Adventure is the cancer. Sonic himself is mediocre.
Unleashed style Sonic and modern Sonic is alright though.
>>320738536
A sign he should be mute. That and all the shit he talks.
His side mouth doesn't look that weird when closed.
douchebags talk out of the side of their mouths
>>320738536
reminder
I always find Sonic cutscenes technically impressive.
Like, how did they make so that hole (his mouth) travels from one side of his face to the other? It's damn fine job
Too bad the writing is often cringeworthy
>>320745185
last few sonic games switch where sonic's mouth is depending on where the camera is
except for >>320744987 because they fucked up
>>320739946
>Sonic will never have fangs again
I guess its stupid because he's a hedgehog but I always liked it.
>>320739005
It used to not be one eye, it used to be white fur.
>>320739194
actually 100% better.
