for the most part, this was speed animated. I was working on this for 2 days yes, but not for too long each day because I have other things to take care of and it seems everyone wants me to share my time with them.
I know that there are allot of things wrong with it.
But I still want you to Criticize it.
You'll learn to criticize your own work if you criticize others as well.

Constructive Criticism please.
Comments are also welcome but less desired.

easytoon tends to be better for testing out things you don't want to have overcomplicated. I use easytoon quite allot really, I'm past pivot, I have physics down enough that I don't need it.
But easytoon I use for miscellaneous tests.

Yes, it's hard to follow because there's nothing to follow. It's a hollow animation.

Whatever it was, I can't criticize, it was good.

Yeah I couldn't tell what was going on, you should slow down the beginning a bit. Still, it looked pretty good.

I don't know about slow down, but maybe show the scenery a little longer so the viewer can get his bearing. and you could use a point of reference when he's falling through the air like clouds or something, just so we can know where he is.

Cool, but for dust-smoke, make it last longer to make the effect look realistic.

It's really simple.. framerate's too high. You should slow it down a little. Particles were okay.

I think it's perfect, how can you not see what's going on? Sonic goes into a ball to speed up, races along rocks and jumps into the woods and jumps out.

It's ****ing epic, seriously, I love you man. Smoke could be longer though.

uh, actually, sonic the hedgehog is meant to be fast paced, if you look into the history of the game, you'll see that they actually had to slow it down cause it was too fast to play for the average gamer.

therefore I think that keeping it fast paced is a good idea.

however from earlier criticism, I now believe that showing the backgrounds longer before the action can help and to have better background details for awareness of where the character is present.

frame rate is 6. I tried 7, it was too slow.

I tried frame rate 1 for kicks, no kicks, it was nauseating.

No I'm serious, I love it so much. I've watched it for about ~10 times now.

I have to agree with Lixu so much :3
Obviously people are used to seeing things slowed down for them because they are naturally slow.
I guess? :/
But it was a perfect pace for sonic :D

It was already. Yes, I suppose it's good, but my aim isn't to be good, it's to get better at any cost.
