I'll ring off some others... er, Sakura Kasugano, Sakura Haruno(To Sasuke), Pucca, Gary`s cheerleaders and That Yu-Gi-Oh Guy`s cheerleaders.

Yeah, what you said is true, but 'fangirl' is a type of stock character. It isn't a DIRECT reference or inspiration specifically extracted from pop culture, like Super Sonic (DBZ) and the Death Egg (Star Wars). Oh, and: @ Sakura Kasugano the Ryu fangirl Lucky Ryu.....

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Don't forget Robotnik's reference to Roosevelt! Not Franklin D., Teddy. The cute one with polio. When I saw the opening animation for Unleashed, I saw a destinct similarity between Dark Gaia and the Nightwalker thing from Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. It's just the way they looked side on and the way Dark Gaia lurches up from the planet's core. Am I just being silly or did anything else think that? Also, does anyone see any similarity between Rouge and Fujiko from Lupin III? Y'know, they're both thieves. Sexy ones too. And they don't mind flirting to get their hands on a pretty jewel (although I guess that one's a tad generic).

Though, Mobius and Morpheus are similar in pronunciation, so the confusion is understandable.

No chance. Shadow's formula is one big walking cliche that has been done to death long before his character was created. Granted, as someone who didn't realize this in his youth, I found his character interesting in Sonic Adventure 2. And quickly grew sick of him when he essentially took the main character spotlight, and was seen in Sonic X laying waste to all my beloved Sonic characters that I grew up with. It was like seeing Robin defeat Batman, and then them making up, never getting to see Batman at least punch Robin back. Yeah, as for references, well. One thing I noticed being very blatant, that really bugged me, in SA2, was that the whole "City Escape" level was inspired by the ever-so-hip-and-trendy Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Come on? Grinding down city part rails to softcore punk rock? gag

Acrobatics, running through loops and corkscrews, snow and sand boarding, running on water, just to name a few such stunts.

The Sonic series has stolen and homaged ideas from many other sources over the years. DBZ is the most cited one as the Super Sonic, 7 Emeralds i would say sonic is a clear steal of micky mouse. eggman's clothes with the buttons and the fact everyone wears white gloves just like in micky's world. but let's face it, even if i am a disney fan, sonic done a better job. it's a just steal Last Edited By: sonicsfan1991 11/09/2009 5:54 AM.
