[Scarlett Johansson]

it seems like they replaced Knuckles and Sliver and other Characters as well
Edit: probably not Vic Related probably cause the game probably had a really low budget, it's only a 40$ game

Irony in this?
One of the voice directors is Suzy Goldish who used to be a 4Kids employee. She voiced...of all people...Chris Thorndyke in Sonic X.

I'll agree on taking some grains of that salt as well, although the Schemmel and Sabat comments remind me a lot of these two videos that were posted. They're almost in a way verbatim with what was described.

Its exactly like what bae Kirby said about him shitting on the other VA's that aren't Masako.

From reddit

was a cameraman for one of my jobs and also worked at cons in my home state in between for a couple of encounters:

Sean Schemmel (Goku) is a dick, and takes playing Goku waaaaay to seriously. He is possessive about the role, and insults others who've voiced him. He once asked Goku's JP voice if she feels ownership of all she's done, she said no and she appreciates the character and the effects of it, but that's not because of her directly. He was in shock to this and kept egging her on to try and make himself feel better about how he feels doing the role. Ask him about his other roles and he's better (He would LOVE to talk more about Lucario and Crowler), don't ask him to sign stuff for a friend because he just thinks it's for you. He put quotation marks around my friend's name who wanted him to sign his DBZ movie case. Told con staff he was tired of signing material and wanted to end his session early.

Chris Sabat (Vegeta) on the other hand is a genuine funny nice guy. While he has gotten tired of doing lines, he'll always play it off like a joke at first and do it for you, you may think he's heard it all from fans, but he's done multiple signatures at a 1 sig limit line just because people tell him how much his work as Vegeta, All Might, Armstrong and more they love and appreciate all he's done.

Vic Mignogna (Broly, Ed Elric) is weird. I never saw anything to support the headlines, but he always wore tight clothing and/or plunging V-Necks. It was off putting. He wasn't a dick in general, and if he wanted something he'd address the staff accordingly calmly if he could do something. His autograph lines got egregious. We had Cristina Vee and Erica Mendez at the same table as him, he stole their autograph time being at the same table since the majority of his fans took up almost the whole line. Cristina Vee rolled her eyes and Erica Mendez was exasperated by him, all he said was "Sorry ladies, got mine and you got yours." THAT was pretty dickish of him. I met Cristina Vee the next day who had her own separate table with Mendez and they were better.

I spent half an hour speaking to Troy Baker about guitar, Mark Hamill, and convincing me I didn't need college per say to get into acting, but dedication, practice, and a head facing what's in front no matter what to get somewhere. All because I brought in the chairs for his panel. He helped out bringing them out.

Wow... oh my god, he thought he was kind of dickish and had bad fashion sense? That'll be 20 years in the slammer for Vic. There's laws against that you know. Oh wait... there isn't.

 

[Not A Bug]

Gonna take this with a grain of salt since it's a random anonymous person.

I've never been to a con, but I'd imagine it gets pretty loud, especially if Vic had a big line waiting to meet him. What's the likelihood this guy overheard what Vic said to Erica and Cristina, as well as Schemmel talking to staff?

I can tell you that unless he was right there, he didn't hear nuffins. The times I saw Vic signing at A-Kon; the lines were "egregious" but that's not his fault.

The energy in and around autograph alley spins up in a hurry when he's there and you can't even hear your own radio, much less what's said at the table from any more than 3-4 people back.

I mean this sounds dickish but it also sounds like something you might say to try and play the situation off.

Why are they getting mad at him though? It's not like he can tell his fans "Hey guys, stop asking me to sign things." While I can also understand why people think what he said was dickish, I don't think there's anything he could say that people wouldn't interpret as condescending or him rubbing his popularity in their faces. I think that's where a lot of the 'he's such an arrogant ass' comments come from. People with thin skin who are envious of someone who's more successful than they are.

Dickish if you do, Dickish if you don't. No matter which one he did it would come off as being dickish.

 

[Far Queue]

Vic being a bit of a dick has always had a ring of truth to it but you can't use that as a pivot point to him being a serial predator like these fucks keep trying to do.

Yeah, but did you hear what he does with jelly beans?

It is Vic's fault that the convention this person worked for put him at the same table as those two?
It is also Vic's fault that he brings so much business to their convention?

The only thing egregious about this is their attitude.

...and then he started eating jellybeans one at a time. And everybody stood up and clapped. And that Vic Mignogna's name was Edward Elric.

 

[Volmsaiyan]

Schemmel is a total cocksucker I'm not surprised about him,he threw a tantrum because Peter kelamis was going to be at the same con. At first I was surprised about Sabat backstabbing Vic and being a beta but then you look back and it makes sense. Sabat is a tool who is used to being a shirley for all these women and probably the one who these girls call after getting pounded and tossed aside to feel better about themselves. Always in the friend zone.

There is enough stories to give the impression that Vic, while not generally deliberately malicious, is often oblivious to those around him in ways that can lead to some bruised feelings.

Good God, then these fuckers need to suck it up and grow a thicker skin.
I also don't doubt for a second those perceptions about Vic's intent (with the things he says) are tinged with the green of envy.

 

[Slab Bulkhead]

Thing is when you get a reputation as an asshole, whether deservedly or not, it's going to taint future perceptions of your actions. So a few people who are envious of his popularity start saying he's an asshole and full of himself and other people not familiar with him personally start reading into things he does as being done because he's an asshole. And because people always want to be at the forefront, the stories about what he does gets blown more and more out of proportion so everyone can 1-up the last person who mentioned how much of an asshole he is.

We may/may not have bad news, depending on how you perceive it.

Vic Mignogna did not come back as E-123 Omega in Team Sonic Racing.

His name does not appear in the credits:

According to the Sonic Wiki, he was replaced by Aaron LaPlante.

Team Sonic Racing

Team Sonic Racing (チームソニックレーシング Chīmu Sonikku Rēshingu) is a kart racing video game and a spin-off from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game is developed by Sumo Digital and published by Sega, and was released on 21 May 2019. It received both a physical and digital release for the PlayStation...

That being said, there were other actors that were replaced (again, according to the Wiki):

• Laura Bailey (who voiced Blaze the Cat and Omochao before 2019) was replaced with Erica Lindbeck this year.
• Travis Willingham (who voiced Knuckles the Echidna and Zavok before 2019) was replaced with Dave Mitchell and Patrick Seitz this year, respectively.
• Quinton Flynn (who voiced Silver the Hedgehog before 2019) was replaced with Bryce Papenbrook this year.

Take from that what you will.

This is apparently common with Sega and replacing the VAs for Sonic and I believe it's been mentioned the second or third time they've 'cleaned house' by hiring unknown nobodies to replace some of the more expensive VAs.

It was a cost-cutting measure as they've been known to do before.

Yeah. This was discussed yesterday but it was most likely cost cutting as Sega can't afford Vic anymore as with the other actors. Better to use newer less costlier actors.

 

[ChevroletBlackboard]

Sega's changed Sonic's VAs a fair few times now. Just from his 3D games alone we had the Adventure cast, then the 4Kids cast from the SonicX dub until around Unleashed/Black Knight when everyone got recast at the turn of the decade. It's really nothing new from them, like what was said upthread they basically do it because the actors they hire get big over the years and can ask for a higher salary and/or the actor just doesn't want to do Sonic games anymore because Sonic games have dubious quality and probably take time away from better projects.

Inbound turbo super mega ultra DX & Knuckles autism:
The first time they did it was when they cleared house and replaced everyone with their respective actors from the 4kids dub of Sonic X (though to be fair, Deem Bristow died at a singles dance and they needed a replacement, and boy did they strike gold with said replacement), and the second time was in 2010 (4kids went tits up not too long afterwards) when they shifted from NY based VAs with CA based VAs, sans Mike Pollock (who was the most popular of the 4kids cast and is a freelancer). While they did have to replace some roles down the line past 2010, it wasn't a clean sweep like it was in 2004. Though to be fair, 2017 was the last time Vic voiced Omega.

Spoiler: Warning: More autism of the off-topic variety

Other changes between 2010 and 2019 include:

Character	Old Voice Actor	New Voice Actor	Reason	Year
Tails	Kate Higgins	Colleen Villard	Money	2014
Eggman (Japanese)	Chikao Ohtsuka	Kotaro Nakamura	Death	2015
Espio	Troy Baker	Matthew Mercer	Money	2016

Feel free to rate me autistic.

Sonic Colors was the first game with the California based cast and that was from 2010. Unleashed was released in 2008 and Sonic and the Black Knight was released in 2009.
