Maekawa-san on behind-the-scene of a Sonic Heroes cutscene

News from 2019.03.30
Archived on 2019.04.17

Another interesting backstory from Maekawa-san on production of Sonic!
This time it's about Sonic Heroes, the last cutscene of Team Dark's story.

ううっ…あのシーンの理解者が😢
これ、CG担当のアメリカ人に最も理解されなかったシーン。
何度言っても「なんでここでルージュがウィンクするんだ？ 意味がわからん！」って口論になり結局「わかんなくてもいいから絵コンテ通りにしろ！」って飯塚さんが押し通してくれたのを今でも思い出す。😌 https://t.co/HjQosUPP2r

— 前川司郎 (@mizuhano) March 29, 2019

なんで分からないのか分からないのが分からないというね。
どんだけ話し合っても分かり合えないことはある。そういう前提が必要なんだと学んだ良い機会でござった。

— 前川司郎 (@mizuhano) March 29, 2019

🔵A fan mentioned how good a scene in Sonic Heroes is, and Maekawa-san reacted with tear of joy:

"Oh, somebody here understands that scene well. The CG creator in the US had the most difficulty to understand this scene. No matter how many times I explained, they said -

— ●SonicJPNews● (@SonicJPNews) March 29, 2019

- 'I don't understand why Rouge winks here. Why?!' and we got into arguments. At the end, Iizuka-san helped me and pushed it through, telling them 'It doesn't matter if you understand it. Just make it as it is directed in the storyboard!'. I still remember that." -

— ●SonicJPNews● (@SonicJPNews) March 29, 2019

- "I didn't understand why they don't understand it.
It was a good opportunity to learn that sometimes there are things people can't agree upon no matter how long they discuss about it, and you have to deal with that premise."

— ●SonicJPNews● (@SonicJPNews) March 29, 2019

Wow, they didn't understand the scene? That's so sad, I don't understand whny they didn't get it either.
It must've been a hard time for Maekawa-san trying to convince them...
And Iizuka-san did a good job there! Thanks to them we have the great scene as it is meant to be. Good grief.

Did you know this about Alex Kidd?
I didn't.

Alex Kidd Trivia:

The item that Alex Kidd receives at the end of the stage is a rice ball in the Japan and NA/EU versions. But on the Sega Master System II it was replaced by a hamburger. On SEGA AGES, the player will be able to play both versions.https://t.co/fpUrYA1I7I pic.twitter.com/4LOQ3MGpLH
