A Jason Griffith appreciation post, who misses him?
@Stix N' Stones Indeed.
I do. He is my favourite for Sonic and Shadow
Me
*M E*
I do I just wish he came back with us
he mastered the voice of sonic in sonic unleashed and there's nothing you can do to change that
i’d say figured it out in unleashed and then mastered it in black knight. he sounds fucking perfect in black knight 👌 🤤
Best Game, best voice acting and that little guy that I don't remember the name that think that the English voice is A TRASH is completely nuts. Anyway. My opinion though
.
*S H O W I N G R E M O R S E , E G G M A N?*
@I am speed gotta call you something don't I? What you think?
He’s the sonic i grew up with
Same lol
Ditto... I miss Jason Griffith so much. it's been 10 years and I am still hurting.
@@Etrodecim same. Sonic X was my childhood, I loved the 4kids actors
I think most people in this comment section did.
Jaleel White for me.
To me Jason isn't just the 4kids voice actor for Sonic. He IS Sonic.
Same.
To me Ryan Drummond and Jason Griffith sound like real Sonic acting
@@peepsg However I think Roger Craig Smith joined them in this domain with his performance in Frontiers.
@@maryafantalia8614 Roger is good, but not *PERFECT*
@@Alolino1605 His Frontiers performance still marks him like as good as Jason to act Sonic.
The definitive sonic!
"If you played nice, i wouldn't have to break all your toys"
The way he delivers that line is perfect.
Best line and most memorable hands down
Eh nah. This confused barney delivery is the reason why I don't like him. It's terrible and gets so monotonous.
@@xaviertiene4325 His best line is the "every world has its end" one imo
@@precieux6303 Barney?
@@precieux6303 watch the secret rings ending then come back and talk
Jason Griffith will FOREVER be the one true voice of Sonic for me. His voice was 100% tolerable in every regard for me & he perfectly captured the extreme yet chill nature of Sonic. Bless this man
Same.
Exactly
Absolutely
100%
Absolutely!
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.
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 agree with u completely. with the deeper voice in Sonic Frontiers, i can’t help but miss Jason’s Sonic even more
You said all. I feel same. It's the truth. Jason's Sonic was special, excellent and impressive.
@@lukahmei2000 Well said.
@@ayosuga5770 That's why I consider Sonic Frontiers like Roger's best performance. Because his depth reminds me Jason.
It's a shame he was replaced so soon, he finally perfected the voice around 2007 so he was only at the top of his game for a couple years.
Paper Luigi I miss the old assassin creed games now 😢
He did great in 06 tho
it wasn't soon at all, he had the role for almost a decade! At that point he'd been doing it the longest. I liked Jason's later stuff but never feel he all the way "fit" for the role personally.
@@supbrah4155 craig smith isn't that bad
Jayden C I dont really mind it but I’ll never get used to Roger’s voice
Ah yes, my favorite voice actor for sonic.
Finally a man of true culture
I thought Roger Craig Smith was better
I like Ben Schwartz better
My rankings
1. Roger and Ben
2. Jason and Ryan
3. Jaleel
4. Meg
The sonic heroes and sa2 voices are they best in forces and colors the writers make sonic sound so damn corny it's not even funny the sa2 and the heroes they know the right time to say jokes that MAKES SENSE like c'mon sonic forces had the worst damn jokes like Sega get a hold of your self in case you didn't know sonic is falling because of the stupid crap you guys do like damn just don't mess up for once
“How could she just walk in and diss tails”
That line is fucking good and needs more recognition.
"How could you all just stand there and do Nothing???"
-Me
”You’re Too Slow” might be a meme, but Jason‘s voice for Sonic is too perfect.
This is the sonic everyone try’s to impersonate
"YOU'RE TOO SLOW!!"
Him or Drummond, but never Roger
I Try To Sound Like Sonic When I Watch Sonic X Hahahaha Cause of Jason Griffith!
@@Dilliferd Wrong! People impersonate Roger especially now since he's been here the longest.
Kareem Codling yeah but that’s usually the new people since they start of at the newest games
I think Jason was at his best in Black Knight. Also, him voicing Jet was cool.
Sonic171000, him voicing Jet was AWFUL. Shows how incompetent 4Kids really is.
Jason Nguyen I guess you like the new Jet voice better...
Seth Davis, not really. Since that voice was emulating Jason’s to an extent. I like the Japanese voice of Jet better. It’s INCREDIBLY different.
Jason Nguyen Not talking about Japanese. Talking about English. And even if he's emulating it, it doesn't sound as good as Jason's.
@@sethdavis2506 Eh at least the new voice is more unique and isn't just the voice of Sonic after he drank a couple bottles.
The iconic voice we all grew up with. So classic.
I grew up with Ryan ngl
I grew up with both really I would say Roger more though
I grew up with Ryan and Jaleel.
Ryan and Jason: timeless
I wish it stayed like this
Like him or hate him. This is the voice that people hear when they think of sonic. He is iconic.
@@JustHazzo Any sonic impression on youtube would disprove that.
@@JustHazzo ur soooo wrong bruh
@@JustHazzo not true everyone including me thinks of Jason as sonic his the most popular sonic because everyone including me loves it and was our childhood
Well said.
Nah bro its def Ryan Drummond
I like the way that Sonic Sounds when he's voiced by Jason Griffith.
Would you like to install his voice?
@@zorakthelonemantisoftheapo5680 What do you mean by that?
@@zorakthelonemantisoftheapo5680 How do you install the voice?
Metal Sonic It’s a joke. Cause your a robot?
If I was voicing sonic I will be a pro at that
He was easily the best Sonic voice actor. I wish they would bring him back and update his voice in smash to Jason’s. Jason really mastered Sonic, especially what Sonic used to stand for
yeah Sonic now is a cringy immature teenager who is cocky annoying and makes the worst jokes
@@donathan2933 You can partially blame the writers of the current Sonic for that. Roger is actually a great voice actor and has a good variety in range, but the scripts he's given and how to act them out ruins it all.
@@Krystalllyne true
@@Krystalllyne it’s not just the script his voice of sonic didn’t fit him either that has nothing to do with the writers
@@Joliedesuu it’s both really
Jason is crazy talented and voiced so many characters. He really tuned them by the end. He was so good i didn't even know he was Sonic, shadow, AND jet the Hawk as a kid.
I just thought they sometimes sounded alike but wouldn't have guessed they were the same guy!
Jason is optimal youth-sounding sonic. The voice can be used for silly moments and serious, it goes both ways. His performance of reserved Sonic in Unleashed is a legacy. -
Your comment should go viral
Facts!
7:35 Gotta love how Sonic is basically shipping Knuckles and Rouge here.
We all miss this guy.
Him and Ryan will always be, the original ( voices) of Sonic The Hedgehog.
Their personality, charisma, and charm brought Sonic to life, they'll always have that Legacy.
They earned it.
I know. Ben brought back the nostalgic voice of Ryan and Jason in the Sonic movie
@@donathan2933 Ben is good no doubt on that, but his Sonic is still finding out himself, really holding out for the sequel
Literally. Ryan and Jason had to audition for the role. Roger was handed the position
Ryan ? Your joking right ?
@@Angel-fu1ec Ryan is GOD so hush
2003-2010 Era was the best of my life.
Jett Ex omg same
Cough cough sonic 2006
Andre Banks JR AkA 3 Train I didn’t find 06 to be all that terrible, and I’d gladly take it again over the shit they’ve been producing as of late :-(
@Andrew Banks I'd take Sonic 06 over Sonic Boom anyday. They were both buggy as hell, but at least Sonic 06 had an interesting story(specifically with ep shadow).
@@the_scientist7772 agreed,06 shadow was the best character hands down.
I'd like to acknowledge the fact that, Jason Griffith *IS* Sonic.
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.
Personally, I don't think Jason's performance is that much different between Shadow, 06 and Unleashed, Black Knight. I still his Shadow and 06 performance is perfect.
@@sezunemizuhana3870 Me too. I loved him since his debuts.
Jason: He-hey! I’m getting pretty good at being Sonic!
These years of practice are really paying off!
SEGA: *GET A NEW ONE GET A NEW ONE HES DONE, GET ROGER*
His contract ended, so this joke doen't really work.
I feel that if you have a voice actor that fits what you want for your character then there shouldn’t be a contract. Charles Martinet is the voice of Mario and he’s been doing it for 25 or so years
@@R0n1n809 I mean or they can keep getting their contracts renewed. That's what Mike and Roger has been doing for a good while.
I wonder why didn't they get Ryan back
@@Reverse_Spider_Parker_SH If I'm not mistaken, Ryan chose not to work with Sonic Team after replacing him with Jason behind his back, and tbh I don't see them getting him back anytime soon.
This legend had great talent. He not only voiced the blue blur but also the ultimate life form and sonic's most formal rival in the riders' series Jet. He has improved from that era.
No way. He voiced shadow too??
@@emceemunchapussy1891 yup and he voiced Jet the Hawk
Yesss the legend his played all of them so good
@@emceemunchapussy1891 No wonder Sonic's Werehog form sounded like his Shadow voice
Ryan: Energetic Sonic

Jahneel
Roger
Ben (movie sonic)
What I think of when hearing Ryan, Jason and Roger
Ryan: The Adventurer - His games are always on incredible adventures and missions
Jason: The Favorite - He’s known to be the most favorite voice out of Sonic due to the votes on the behind the voice actors polls
Roger: The Joyful Joker - He sounds very joyful most of the times, laughs a lot and his jokes and his egg puns make me laugh
My Favorite Voice Actor: Jason
Roger: boom sonic
Literally can’t imagine modern with his voice
I go with Jaheel White (DiC), Ryan Drummond (Dreamcast) and Jason Griffith (4Kids)
roger is plagued with games with bad scripts honestly, sonic just seems like a never serious jokester all the time
thankfully frontiers had really good writing so sonic isnt just an ass the whole time
Sorry man, he's the true OG Sonic for me, really on point with his voice acting and change of voice

Sonic: Claims he wouldn’t use a gun in Shadow the Hedgehog.
Me: Items in Smash...
Sora Akatsuki I was thinking the same thing the other day!
@@poseidon396 The items in Smash are meant to be child friendly, and not to be meant to be violent
Not cannon

The_One_Eyed_Rouge 1700 yeah that’s about right.
Jason *is* Sonic. I love Drummond and Griffith equally in the role, but Jason just clicks with me as the voice of my favorite character in all of fiction.
Jason is better
True.
@@xnortheast1106 Yeah.
What are your thoughts on Roger Craig Smith, Jaleel White, Martin Burke, and Ben Schwartz? Maybe even on Junichi Kanemaru?
With Roger leaving his role as Sonic, I kinda wonder if we could see Jason Griffith coming back, or maybe even Ryan Drummond? I'd be incredibly happy if Jason reprised his role after 10 years!
Sadly roger is back
@@DireNemesis czcams.com/video/ZNKTca5f7wM/video.html
Ugh... I’m not looking forward to it for me personally. Jason was/is my favorite Sonic hands down, it’s not even close.
@@DireNemesis sega hires roger for colors in 2010 and in 2021 sega hires roger for colors
Oh boy unfortuantely your comment hasn't age welll...
Ahhhh the old days❤
Jason Griffith will always be my favorite sonic voice actor
Nice Jason Griffith and Ben Schwartz Are My 2 Favorite Sonic Voice Actors!
Same
Personally my favorite Sonic voice actor, he’s not always cracking jokes like the current Roger Craig Smith(In my opinion after colors, he’s just cracking unfunny jokes and that’s his only personality trait now). No disrespect to those who like him though
I mean it isn't his fault how Sonic's written, it's the writers
To be fair, it's the scriptwriters fault and sometimes vocal direction. If they gave Roger an actual Sonic script, alongside good vocal direction, maybe he could truly realize his potential as Sonic.
I was going to write how it's the writers' fault on what he actually says. But looking at this comment chain, I'd just be redundant.
Brayan Q, wait but what makes him better than Ryan Drummond to you?
Jason Nguyen I liked his voice in SA and SA2, but his sonic in Sonic Heroes sounds *wayyyy* too nasally, even compared to RCS
This will always be Sonics voice to me. This is what I grew up with and it just sounds the most natural for his character.
Jason Griffith was the Sonic I grew up with. I thank him for being a part of my childhood haha
Me too bro
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...
He sounded alright in X, bad in '06, good in Secret Rings and Black Knight, and amazing in Unleashed, at least in my opinion.
Well, looks like Jason has more positives than negatives. I agree with you, my man. 😉
@Adri345 Ain't nothing wrong with that man. Everyone has their favorites when it comes to the Sonic voice cast.
@@tiruliru1189 Oh yeah I'll definitely agree that Jason improved around the time of Unleashed and Black Knight lol
Yes yes yes, good sonic ok, but what about shadow, I think jason's shadow was amazing
@@magnanereseres5048 Jason's Shadow is my favorite!
Jason Griffith was my introduction to Sonic and loved his performance as Sonic and Shadow.
Jason feels like the perfect voice for Sonic, he perfectly captures Sonic's personality and his age since Sonic's supposed to be 15, Roger makes Sonic sound like 18.
Exactly.
Sonic is canonically 35 now. hes not 15 anymore.
@@fungusamongus9686 We talk about the CHARACTER, not the FRANCHISE ! And it's not even true, it's 31 ! Where are you coming from ?!
I mean, let’s face it, NEITHER of them sound 15.
@@midnalazuli793 You're crazy or what ?
This man practically underwent a full character arc from weird to better to freaking amazing. It’s just one of the reasons he’s my favorite Sonic VA
I think Jadon Griffith is my favorite voice actor for the Blue Blur. He makes him sound cool without making him stuck in the 90’s. Roger Craig Smith is good, but makes him seem a little more childish.
Blame the voice direction and writing. But yeah, Jason was the best.
Sora Akatsuki, but what do you think of Ryan Drummond?
Jason Nguyen I say a very, VERY close second. They are both amazing.
@@jasonnguyen1072
Ryan is the GOAT
Roger’s sonic sounds like such a big man child who is clinging to his days when he peaked in high school
He really had to use still frames for Sonic X to not get copyrighted 😭😭😭
This is hands down the best Sonic voice no matter what you say. He is probably the only voice actor who truely perfected the voice. If they manage to bring Jason back, which everything seems to be pointing too, I will become truly invested in whatever game he is put in
0:21 I don't know if this was intentional, but when Jason says this line here, he gives Sonic a bit of a New York accent at the end Lol. I really love that, that little Brooklyn tint in his voice is complimentary to Sonic's mischievous attitude.
Jason Griffith made Sonic so good!
Phew, made it b4 u!
234SuperSimi why is there a literal rivalry going on?
@@IdiotRebecca251 They probably know each other
Precieux Kalemba ok
@@IdiotRebecca251 Friendly rivalry
God!! This man is perfect for Sonic!! Jason IS Sonic the Hedgehog change my mind! I very miss!
2:12 this is the best voice acting ever done by Jason. Change my mind.
That "ugh..." was just beautiful
Now that I really listen to it, yeah, it sounds really well pulled off. 😄
It's a shame that by the time Jason really mastered his Sonic voice, the series had a number of less than stellar games. This is my favorite VA, personally.
Secret Rings, Unleashed and Black Knight were good. Even Shadow and 06 has noticeable qualities. At least, those games had a good writing and voice casting.
@@maryafantalia8614 I agree with the rest, but Secret Rings is probably one of the most garbage games I've ever played. I know the same can be said for 06, but I find a lot of enjoyment in that.
@@chao-GD I know that, I just say this game has the merit of having a very good story, an excellent characterization and a very good voice acting, in particular the 1st best performance of Jason Griffith (Don't be mistaken, I don't say his performances in Shadow and 06 were bad. He was cute and enthusiast in Shadow. In 06, except the too calm side, his acting weren't especially bad).
@@maryafantalia8614 Valid.
@@chao-GD :)

I know right
Jason is the definitive sonic in my opinion. He can play Sonic seriously, campy, and comedically.
Facts!
I couldn’t agree more.
Jason can for sure (and even Ryan) but Roger…
Roger couldn’t pull serious moments with his voice due to how unfitting it sounds imo.
@@lukahmei2000 You still think that after Frontiers?! Really?! Roger just sounds older but that's all, it's a weak difference with others, and it doesn't mean he can't act seriously, as Frontiers proved it! Roger WAS Sonic in this game! Seriously, stop with your nostalgia, it makes you blind! And we were talking about Jason, not Ryan.
@@maryafantalia8614 just accept the fact that Roger Craig Smith Is too old for Sonic, he did okay in frontiers doesn't mean that the game improves perfect, it was okay i guess
@@Speedboy-xt8fg You're Captain Obvious, I ALREADY know Roger is too old for Sonic, I just said Roger is able to act Sonic's CHARACTER, he can act the kind and sweet Sonic, the REAL Sonic, like Jason's one! That's all!
And for your information, the age of Sonic and other characters has been deleted from their profile before Frontiers' release, so even if Roger sounds older, it doesn't affect the 15 years of Sonic.
I miss Jason Griffin, he had a good voice for Sonic.

yeah cuz its the last main game where he voices Sonic
@@donathan2933 wasn't it the Beijing Olympics?
@@JJ-no7bc no that game came out two years earlier
I think sonic sega all star racing was officially his last game be he hardly talked in that game
@@Joliedesuu They reused his voice lines, mostly from Sonic '06, so I'm not sure if that counts. He was also uncredited in the game.
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
Same! Although for me, when I read fanfictions, it alternates between Roger and Jason :p
I like Roger tho and Frontiers was his best performance!
Out of all the sonic va's Jason Griffith was always my favorite in the bunch.
Best Sonic voice actor since Drummond.
Ben Schwartz is a good voice for Sonic in the movie. He sounds like a mix of Ryan and Drummond and he brings back the nostalgic memories
Do Nathan Ben Schwartz Was So Good Voicing Sonic in The Movie!
@@donathan2933 that's what I was thinking, he even kind of looks like ryan
Can we just have an option in every sonic game that changes sonics voice to Jason Griffiths sonic
Small price to pay for better sonic voice
I’m not trying to diss any of the Sonic actors. They’ve all voiced this character greatly. But Jason voiced him PERFECTLY. He brought the charisma, the nuance, and the relatability needed for the character.
Crazy how Mike Pollock is the last man standing of the 4Kids cast. I do like Roger's performance, adore him in Frontiers, but Jason Griffith will always be the iconic Sonic voice imo
Yeah it's so crazy that Mike is the last man from 4Kids cast. He reminds me of Aguero in his last years playing for Manchester City and he was also the last man from 2012 line up.
Jason had no emotion in his voice, I prefer Roger and Ryan
@@thefastcommenter7774 Again you... but I already answered to you in another comment, and I said why you're wrong. That's it.
But I will repeat Jason's sentences which destroyed your "no emotion" bullshit, just in case :
Shadow the Hedgehog :
"Shadow... I can't let you go... Not like this!"
"Shadow... Why... Why are you siding with them?"
Secret Rings :
"Uh, Shahra... I think that might be some sort of time bomb!"
"Oh. No! This can't be good! We've got to get out of here! This thing has to explode out in the open!"
"Hehehe. Looks like my time limit is about up."
"Really. Don't worry about it. Just remember my promise... The promise between me... and you."
"Shahra, stop! You can't do this, think about what will happen!"
"It's okay. It's not your fault."
"Shahra! Grant me a wish! I wish for you to not die and to go back to the way you were!"
"Erazor Djinn! You shall live out the rest of time, trapped inside your lamp as you were in days of old!"
Not forgetting his scream when he turns into Darkspine Sonic.
Sonic Unleashed :
The scene where he turns into Werehog is one of the most painful moments for Sonic and Jason contributed to that with his scream.
Now the sentences :
"Yo, Eggman. Thanks for that little skydiving adventure the other day!"
"So you were asleep all this time? For millions of years?"
"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.
@@maryafantalia8614 Who the heck even are you bro. Why do you keep acting like you know me, I have no idea who you are
@@thefastcommenter7774 I already said I don't remember the subject, but your pseudo is just stayed in my head.
I just wanted you to stop with your "Jason had no emotion" bullshit, and I quoted lines proving you're wrong, that's not my business anymore.
He is and always will be my Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic the series as a whole hasn’t been the same since all these voice actors got replaced.

Michatus Gaming, but what about Ryan?
@@jasonnguyen1072 Ryan would be great as well as Sonic, it would be awesome if both he voiced sonic and Jason voiced Shadow
At least Roger isn't the worst Sonic voice.
That title will forever belong to Meg Inglima. (No offense to her, but she was extremely miscast.)
@@paperluigi6132 what show did Meg voice Sonic? Was it The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog or Sonic Underground?
@Michatus Gaming Sonic schoolhouse
Look it up.
Jason Griffith is the TRUE voice of Sonic.
Jason's voice fitted so perfect for Sonic... I really miss it so much, it's a shame he's not Sonic anymore.. I like Ryan's and Roger's voice too but.. for me, Jason is the real Sonic (and Shadow).
Also sorry for my bad English
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. Granted, I chalk a lot of it up to poor voice direction/writing, but I honestly think it's time for a recast or rehires.
TheHomBros, what do you think about Ryan?
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.
Still think that after Frontiers?
When I play a Sonic game with Roger, I hear Mirage. Everytime I play Apex, I hear Sonic. Is that just me?
i know this is a 2 year old comment, but roger's voice was actually REALLY good in frontiers imo.
He’s my favorite Sonic voice actor! 😍
Out of all voice actors for Sonic... Jason Griffith will always be the one who nailed everything about Sonic's voice.
When ever I try to copy a Sonic voice, It’s always a mix between Drummond and Griffith.
I still think it's hilarious how often Jason "talked" to himself since he voiced Sonic, Shadow, AND Jet. He's still my favorite voice for them, and yes, I am totally bias since I was a kid around that time.
Is in our childhood now of our favorite sonic voice actor, Jason Griffin. 😌
I'm going to say this right now nobody can replace Jason Griffith when it comes to voicing Sonic.
Sonic and the Black Knight is so underrated its tragic :’(
True... :(
Love to all of Sonic’s VA’s but Jason just does it for me. He really brought Sonic to life.
Griffith and Roger are my favorite Sonic voice actors
Hands down the best Sonic voice!
I recently keep saying ur pfp on instagram.off
Just hearing his voice alone, he gives more energy and "magic" to Sonic and whoever else he voices, it's so weird how one guy as a voice of an iconic character can make a game feel amazing. Also I don't know what went on in the Studio but I love Super Sonic's voice in Sonic Riders and Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, it's deep and raspy but not close to the Werehog or Jet because after finding a way to hear the voices crystal clear, Super Sonic shouts "Good!" when a Trick is landed successfully and it's almost robotic or has a deep echo a bit like UI Goku's in DBX2, you can hear a bit of it when landing a trick normally but it still does not sound natural even for a deep voice.
True!
Jason’s voice still makes me swoon! He made Sonic sound so heroic, serious and even romantic at times~ while Roger makes Sonic sound like some spoiled teen. It sucks they gave him back the role
Yikes
We seriously need a makeover. I really want someone else's take on Sonic.
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
Stop harassing roger he is just human
Well said
*you should change the title to "Evolution of the best Sonic (2003-2010)"*
Jason Griffin was the best Sonic hands down.
Funny way to spell Ryan Drummond.
That being said, Jason Griffith is very close second ngl
You misspelled worst
No, cause people like me would disagree
Yeah he misspelled roger craig Smith
I'd like to acknowledge the fact that Jason Griffith *IS* Sonic, and always will be.
0:51 sonic is a gamer confirmed
He is, and will ever be
💎🍀💙🦔💙🍀💎
The One True Sonic
Man, if they were ever crazy enough to remake '06, I wouldnt want them to touch a single thing from that opening cutscene. 15 years later and that still looks amazing
The true voice of Sonic
6:10
i ALWAYS used to play as sonic in that game. he was the fastest.
I miss Jason Griffith as Sonic’s voice actor. He's my childhood Sonic voice actor I grew up to when I was a kid
10:20 the best game for Griffith's voice
Best sonic voice actor of all time
Jason is the one I really got to hear in my childhood because of games like Sonic Rush, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06, and even when I watched it Sonic Unleashed.
This will always be sonics true voice
Facts
2003: sounds like a cartoon.
2006: Almost there.
2008: Sound Badass and ready to take on anything!
jason griffith is my fav sonic
0:21 And so began the legendary story of Jason Griffith as Sonic, with a "My name is Sonic The Hedgehog"
I wished he stayed. The current voice actor doesn't sound like Sonic
Which one? Ben or Roger?
@@PhoenixWrightAceAttorney roger.
@@xstatik8160 Yeah I agree with you
Agreed Roger is Not Really As Funny Unlike Ben Schwartz and Jason Griffith!
I actually like the new one, he sounds a lot more mature in a way?
