South Island - The SegaSonic & Sonic Team Forum! Welcome to South Island! Pull up a chair, grab a daquiri (non-alcoholic of course) and chill next to the old airplane for a while. ^_^ This is the spot for the gamers to come in and chat on the ORIGINAL Sonic. It's not just SegaSonic on discussion here, but Sonic's anime incarnations(Sonic X, the Movie/OVA, etc.) and general Sonic Team - Yuji Naka, Naoto Oshima, Phantasy Star Online, NiGHTS Into Dreams, and Samba! By the way - watch for falling Chu Chu's! ^^ |

Ah, back when Tails was 'fatter'.

I loved Tails' personality in some of the early tie-in stuff - the choose-your-own-adventure books and the likes, before he became such a 2D "Sonic, I
can do it if I really try!" character. At least he's always been written pretty consistently in Archie.

I wish I had gotten into the comic/books and stuff. I only know from the games and the TV show. He rocked in the TV Show.

Miles "Tails" Prower - Rockin' the chest fur long before Angsty the Angsthog.

I miss how cute and childlike Tails used to be. Now they ruined him by making him into a boring character that doesn't act like his age at all. Chip is
more "Tails-like" than the fox we have now.

But... they didn't really talk much in the old games, so I don't see how you can infer him being childlike.
They just sort of saved the world and he tagged along getting hurt (possibly humourously, depending on who you are.) I agree he doesn't act his age at all, though I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. I think he's one of the more mature characters in the series, if not the most mature. I remember him being a "Sonic, I can do it if I really try!"character in Sonic Adventure, though I don't think that was only thing he had going for him. Hell, he didn't even act that way until Eggman was about to detonate that bomb. Before then, he was acting as Sonic`s friend during the time he was with him and did just fine without him, even getting a Chaos Emerald on his own IIRC. It was just when that "OH SHI-" moment with Eggman felt like more than he could handle, I geuss. After that game I don't really remember him wanting or needing Sonic to bail him out. |

<<I think he's one of the more mature characters in the series, if not the most mature.>> Which, in effect, made him the dullest "live" character in the series. It seems pointless to have him as an 8 year old since there is hardly in hint of his personality we have now that indicates he has any child-like behavior. |

Not if you take into account those books. Where Tails was really clingy and annoying XD At least in the one I read he was. The very youngest I set Tails to be
is 12 years old. There's just no way in Hades he's 8.

But Sega didn't age him up. He's still 8. Maybe they forgot or are too lazy to realize this.

...you know what? Cream's pretty mature, too.
WHY ARE THE YOUNGEST CHARACTERS THE MOST MATURE. Also I like it when Kids don't act their age, I find it refreshing after seeing so many annoying, mischevious younger siblings in certain shows. ...Though we do have Charmy. And Chip, I suppose... but he acts less like the younger sibling type since he's hyperactive, but not too hyperactive and he's a bit more focused. |

CTSucks 666 wrote:Marine the Raccoon's another exception to that, CT. Her profile at Sonic Channel places her at 7, and she really comes off as annoying and childish most of the time. Cream doesn't act all that mature either. She's still a six-year old, and while she is very polite, she still manages to be a kid. The only reason I see Tails acting so "old" is because he's a child genius. Sega decided to make him act much older than he already is, so he's not really a kid, but he's not even a teenager, either. Just... stuck. Although in Unleashed, he does need some help in dealing with those Dark Gaia creatures, because for once he didn't have anything handy to help him. In Chip's case, he was just the non-intelligent sidekick replacement, complete with an appetite for and a magic pocket for his secret stash of chocolate. Oh, and don't forget his Mohawk. |
