What are your voice actors choices that are fitting the IDW comics characters's personalities and Appearance?
A couple of days ago, I was watching a video by Emzberry, when I see this.
I've never seen this image before, so I have no idea where it's from. Considering that Rough is there, I can assume it's from IDW, I just don't know what issue.
I'd have 5 nickels:
1. Silver
2. Rough
3. Tangle
4. Sonic
5. Surge
It isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened 5 times, right?
Yeah i think that the reason why he my favorite character along with tumble.
Rough: Prepare for trouble!
Tumble: And make it double!
Rough: Rough!
Tumble: Tumble!
Tangle: Slant rhyme.
Rough and Tumble!: AW, COME ON!
IDW returns with the main issues tomorrow, so the analysis discusses the new characters introduced in IDW continues. I've already done Lanolin the Sheep; the link to her analysis will be down in this analysis below, and the other characters will follow. I originally planned to cover all of them while IDW went on break, but some characters could use the time to shine, like Clutch the Opossum, before forming a full critique on them. However, some characters will have their analysis done soon like Tangle the Lemur and Dr. Starline, since we have enough info to discuss them. Without further ado, let's take a deep dive into Rough and Tumble. By the way, this is my art of these characters. I'll provide original art for all the characters I cover for the analysis, look forward to that.
Character Tropes: Bumbling Henchmen Duo, Didn't Think This Through, Dumb Muscle, Even Evil Has Loved Ones, Weaponized Stench
Rough and Tumble are two skunk brothers who help Barricade Town during a rampart badnik attack and then take it over for kicks for themselves. They have complete control until Sonic and Knuckles give them a booty-kicking and send them to jail. That's how Rough and Tumble's schemes go. They have a plan with more holes than Swiss cheese, hope it succeeds, and end up in jail again. If not, they act as hooligans for the bigger bads like Dr. Eggman and Starline. They are basically the Team Rocket of the IDW Comics. I don't mind that because in the anime, Team Rocket does have clever schemes from time to time, but other than their rhyming gimmick, there isn't much to make Rough and Tumble stand out other than being troublemakers. Granted, the duo has some fun moments, like when someone uses their rhyming gimmick or Tumble complains about his lost tail when he wanted to beat Sonic to the ground with it in Issue 13, but there isn't much for me to be asking to see more of them.
In terms of fighting, Rough and Tumble are skunks and do what those animals do in real life. They stink up the room. Granted, the two do have a unique attack called the Grand Stink Bomber Slam, but in terms of what characters can do, their movesets are limited and require weapons usages like Wispons or the Tri-Core to cause serious damage. Heck, the duo has lost to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Tangle, The Chaotix, and the list can go on. Other than some badniks and a few security guards at Everhold Prison, the only character they truly won against was Cream the Rabbit, and that doesn't put a good light on Cream or the skunk duo. Although seeing Vanilla give them the motherly scolding and Rough and Tumble on their knees begging for forgiveness in Issue 66 did get a laugh out of me.
Rough and Tumble are the comic relief villains of IDW Sonic, which is fine. However, I wished they had a clever scheme once in a while to show how threatening they can be. I also feel they need more variety in their moves and should at least put up more of a fight. They are fun sometimes when they get paired up with different characters like Rouge, Dr. Starline, and the others in the Bad Guys series, but they act as hooligans and lose as hooligans most of the time. It can get repetitive at points, and they can use a shake-up, but they have their moments that benefit as characters.

I think his performance as Monkey D. Luffy in the Netflix adaptation of One Piece might win him an Emmy. 😄
Any questions?

Geoffrey St John is related to Rough and Tumble. they are 3rd cousins twice removed or something. whereas Geoffrey went into the Military and became the head of the Royal Secret Service Rough and Tumble chose to become Evil. Every time the 3 of them meet they end up having a very Stinky confrontation. (During one of these Fights Geoffrey Robbed Tumble of his ability to spray)

Issue 3 of IDW Sonic depicts Rough and Tumble using Wispons until Sonic convinces the Wisps in them to abandon them. However, it's been stated that Wisps (and therefore Wispons) can only be used by good people. This makes me think the skunks used to be heroes before something made them change for the worse. It may or may not be the same event that robbed Tumble of his tail. What do you guys think?
