So anyone think either of them would make a good Eggman?

Nice choices for all three characters. Regarding Sonic, either Brian Donovan, Jason Liebrecht, Robbie Daymond, Todd Haberkorn, or Yuri Lowenthal would be my go-to picks if not Clifford Chapin. For Tails, either Brianne Siddall, Maxey Whitehead, or Mona Marshall could do the character justice. Amy... Oh, darn, this one's pretty tricky since I find that many of those ladies could work very well for her. Christine Marie Cabanos, Hynden Walch, Melissa Fahn, and Wendee Lee stand out, but everyone else aside from Sandy Fox (who'd be a better Cream honestly) is sweet! :thumbsup:

You're right about Crispin being a LA based VA. I must have heard him in a FUNimation dub and thought he was in Dallas.

Here, I made some adjustments:

Sonic: Vic Mignogna
Tails: Colleen Clinkenbeard
Knuckles: Chris Sabat
Amy: Cherami Leigh
Cream: Carrie Savage
Big: Chris Cason
Shadow: Matthew Mercer
Rouge: Leah Clark
Omega: Christopher Bevins
Silver: Todd Haberkorn
Blaze: Caitlin Glass
Jet: Micah Solusod
Wave: Monica Rial
Storm: Chris Sabat
Espio: J. Michael Tatum
Charmy: Brina Palencia
Vector: Phil Parsons
Dr. Eggman: John Swasey

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117339)

I was originally thinking Sonny, but I remembered Jet is supposed to be younger than Sonic. I was going based off his Yukine voice from Noragami.

No problem, pal, I can understand. Dallas-wise, Vic Mignogna is your main pick for Sonic, as you saw that list of mine. Now, L.A.-wise, based on the guys I listed for Sonic, who'd be your pick?

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117363)

Hmmm... I'm cool with Roger, but I'd like to hear Johnny Yong Bosch as the Blue Blur.

Originally Posted by Marusero (Post 117371)

Nice choice, Johnny's had quite an experience voicing hot-blooded characters. I also respect your opinion about you being cool with Roger, you're perfectly entitled to it. Personally, I'd go with Yuri Lowenthal. Why? Well, because I think he's got this kind of mix between Ryan, Jason and Roger. I mean, think about it. It could be something we could all enjoy in the end.

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117382)

Yeah. I was thinking either Yuri or Johnny. But ultimately Johnny won me over due to his voice and emotional range lending itself better toward Sonic's hyperactive yet chill personality.

Originally Posted by Marusero (Post 117385)

I see. Which voice(s) of Johnny do you think would work for Sonic? You know, I can also see Johnny as Shadow using his Sasori voice.

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117395)

A combination of his Zhang Bao voice in Dynasty Warriors 8 and his Bumblebee voice in Transformers: War for Cybertron.
As for Shadow, I think Kirk Thornton's Jin voice from Samurai Champloo could work.

Originally Posted by Marusero (Post 117399)

Hm, what you said for Sonic could work well, I was just hearing some clips here and on YouTube. As for Shadow, however, I've never heard his Jin voice. Would you mind posting a link for me? Also, I remember you suggesting Dave Wittenberg as the latter.

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117400)

Yeah. Dave would work as Shadow with Johnny as Sonic, for a the sake of a new voices. But here's his Jin voice (Samuri in blue with the glasses):

Okay, got it. Thanks for the link, BTW.

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117404)

Yeah, no problem. I think Kirk has some potential. He's just using the wrong voice.

Originally Posted by Marusero (Post 117407)

Yeah, he'd be decent enough for a Shadow voice. Not only is Kirk using the wrong voice, but the recent writing is also letting him down. I actually think Kirk should use this voice for Shadow: http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/...anghai/Batman/

LA-wise, if I were to go for more of an anime-style voice cast, I've also been thinking that Erik Scott Kimerer (one of my favourite rising star VAs) could work pretty well as Sonic. His voice has this youthful and energetic feel (not to mention it sounds like a pretty nice blend of JYB and Spike Spencer), and his work as Alibaba Saluja particularly has the right sort of sound.

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117409)

Shanghai Batman could work for Shadow too. I thought his Jin was a bit closer to David Humphrey, tho. And the writing has definitely been lackluster for the recent games. Ian Flynn teased that he may be writing for the 2017 game, though. Which I'd be incredibly stoked for.

Touché. On the topic of Shadow, if Jason came back as the character, I think he should use this voice: http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/...Joe-Shimamura/

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117413)

Oh yeah. It's kinda weird having Jason in a FUNimation dub.

Originally Posted by Marusero (Post 117415)

Thanks, man. I just thought that voice sounded similar to David's. You know, that was actually dubbed at NYAV Post. If Jason was to return as Sonic, I think he should pretty much sound smooth and natural like in Black Knight, and improve upon it. As for the voice itself, I wouldn't mind if he reverts back to the Unleashed voice.

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117416)

Black Knight definitely was Jason's best performance, as well as one of the best Sonic performances we've had. I dunno who the voice director was for that game, but they need to return, imo.

Originally Posted by Marusero (Post 117417)

Yeah, it'd be interesting. BTW, who'd be your L.A.-based picks for Tails, Knuckles and Amy?

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117418)

Tails- Erica Mendez
Knuckles- David Vincent
Amy- Wendee Lee

Originally Posted by Marusero (Post 117419)

Not bad, buddy.

For Tails, I think I'd most likely go with Mona Marshall, since she's a natural at voicing young boys. For Knuckles, IDK, I'll have to think about it. For Amy, same thing.

Originally Posted by SonicWarrior234 (Post 117420)

I gotta admit, my Tails and Knuckles weren't that well thought out. Lol.
I'm not as familiar with LA actors as Dallas ones. But I know that Wendee Lee would make a **** good Amy.

Seitz is my top pick; largely as his gruff, deep voice reminds me of Dan Green's to an extent (similarly to Travis), but there's enough slight differences that he'd be able to really make it more his own. Plus, he's got the right sorta gruff attitude AND comedic timing, Ragna the Bloodedge in particular stands out to me as an exemplar for this, to capture the character.
