That's a bit of a stretch for an acronym... why not just Sonic TAS? Weird.
Yeah... Season 2 is great (Netflix somehow thinks the series only had one season) but man did they fucked up a few things. Rotor indeed got it worst.

Because SatAM and AoStH were on at the same time. Adventures was on weekdays, SatAM was on Saturdays. There needed to be a way to differentiate between the two.

Oh, right, duh. That makes sense.

One was just "Sonic the Hedgehog", the other was "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog". Seems to me they were already differentiated...

Saying "Oh yeah, I'm watching StH" leaves too much open to guesswork, because it leads to "Well, which StH?". Whatever was adopted was done so out of a functional requirement for it to be that way, I'd say.

Sonic Avatars available on JP PSN:
Those yellow circles are ugly; and Jet, why the hell are you here?

They're okay. Nothing stands out really.

I think Vector has the best avatar, he's practically bursting out of his circle to give you a mighty thumbs up.

Vector and Cubot are must-haves

I think it's worth noting that the person who took that pic has made the foolish yet expected choice of Shadow judging by the shopping bag icon.
The only relevant characters for the next few years, I assume.
Noticed that too, smirked

Good! ...I want Chao to be relevant again.
I'm surprised to see Jet the Hawk.
I actually made a thread on SEGA Forum a few months back, and I believe the poll was either 99% or 100% for people wanting gamer pics of Sonic characters.
I think the top left pretty much confirms Episode III with Knuckles.

I'm not. Free Riders only came out in late 2010. And probably sold well.

Or maybe it confirms Knuckles Chaotix 2!
I'm sure that the Knuckles and Vector renders would fit well popping out of a circle together.
No but really i'm not sure what you're getting at, something bout his position as the next in line? the pose itself?

That guy bought Shadow. Why.
Eh, they don't look like anything so special that I'd swap out my Atelier Totori PSN avatar for. Blaze or Metal Sonic, maybe. But I like the Atelier artwork too much.
And someone help me. I think I wanna buy Mario & Sonic and the Olympic Games.

Free Riders, 2006, Secret Rings, Shadow The Hedgehog. My least liked Sonic games.
I'm not surprised it sold, but I'm just surprised the character is actually that popular being that it isn't from a mainline game. How often do you hear how awesome Jet The Hawk is?
I forgot where, but I believe Iizuka said recently he wasn't going to do that. Thanks to pokecapn, I finally gave that game a chance and it's fun, apart from the random level selection.

Letting fools know if you beat him at Killzone, he'll roundhouse kick yo face
It's a recycled render from S&SASR.
Look at Jet The Hawk's original design.
Doesn't that look better?
They said if it sold, it'll most likely happen. Ken said that on the forums.

I should never have trusted Ubisoft, my Globox avatar is so poorly done, a white background for flipsake! I'd jump back to Vega/Blanka (suck it Beef) if it weren't for the fact it cost me 40p for Globox, that Ubisoft price hike!
As a side note the EU store sucks for avatar selection.
And I can't prevent you from being taken over by Olympic fever, just think of all the awesome music that lies within.
Part of me really wants to try Chaotix and i'm not sure why, must be Vector's swag walk.
Huh, that original Jet actually has Wings, my main gripe with him was that he was a bird with arms but no wings.

Hey, part of Nocturnowl that wants to play Chaotix. I have played it. And frankly, you don't really want to play it. The game simply isn't fun, nor is it particularly good. The tethering mechanic is a chore, the level design isn't very good, and the music is generally forgettable. The only thing it has going for it are the graphics, but those alone aren't enough to save Chaotix from being a bad to mediocre Sonic game that doesn't even let you play as Sonic.

Hey there, this is the part of Nocturnowl that doesn't want to play it because he's aware of its shoddy reputation, cheers for bringing this up so I can rub it in the face of the part of me who is foolish enough to want to play it but now he's saying stuff like "you can't trust that guy, he poops on SMW" but frankly I don't know what he's on about.
I think it's kind of telling that the game has never appeared elsewhere in Sega compilations or download services.
That's mostly because they have better things to do than build a 32x emulator for a single game.

It's not so much that I poop on SMW as that SMB3 poops on SMW
But yeah, Chaotix is a good-looking game, but it's just not very fun to actually play.

I think Ken also said Episode 2 is under performing compared to Episode 1.

See I figured this might be why but why'd you have to ruin my fun?

I can't counter argue that, it's one of the eternal video game debates, like Sonic 2 vs Sonic 3, in the end we all win.

I'd buy a compilation of Chaotix, Segasonic and, I dunno, Bean Machine? Sega's DD stuff always comes in threes

I still say Taxman's new Retro Engine project should be taking Knuckles Chaotix and making it a good game.
But that would probably require a lot more than Sega's willing to let him do, assuming he would even want to. That'd be new level designs, new level gimmicks, maybe fundamental changes to game mechanics...
You'd kind of want to make a whole new game at that point, I guess.

What?! Ken would never say such a thing! His job is to make anything related to the game in a positive light, which he is very good at doing =)
Ken is the perfect guy to offset the crazy Iizuka quotes for Sonic 4. He can spin anything.
well i wouldn't be surprised if it did turn out that way, but what I'm saying is Ken would never admit such a thing. He is the spin master. I don't mean that in a negative way either, hes really good at his job =) lol

I believe it was in the context of "Why aren't more people enjoying Episode 2? I think it's way better than Episode 1."
