Spriting and lazing around
That face is so dorky - and I love it.
Keep up the good work! (Just remember to take breaks every now and then.)

That sounds really wonderful. *Votes for this as 2.2's Tails sprites*

There is a bit more to it than sprites, anyone or atleast a good amount of people, i hope who played with the 1_5 version that is widespread around SRB2 servers now can tell you. =P

So long as he's netgame balanced, at the very least as much so as the current Tails, then I don't see a reason to keep the old one.

It's a somewhat noticeable change in flight physics from what I've seen since Tails can now reach his running speed on the ground in the air. Otherwise he's pretty much the same. I don't know how much this actually changes about playing as Tails altogether, for obvious reasons.
I can say this about this frame and many other sprites, but when I look closer at the shading... it honestly feels like you threw the sprite on Photoshop and used either the Smudge or the Blur tool. The anti aliasing is just so overdone to the point that the sprite looks overly blurry, rather than something more solid and appropriate for his shading.
This frame in specific shows that Tails has one foot bigger than the other, and the pose overall just feels unnatural for balancing himself. The bubble grab sprite also has a really wonky face, like he became a cyclops out of nowhere and his head grew in size. You should try to keep it more consistent, because it feels like you are rushing this project.
Before anyone wonders, yes, I do think these are better than the vanilla Tails sprites. I just think it should be far more polished, before being considered that it's in a releasable/finished state.

Nope, I don't use photoshop nor any specific tool for the shading. Guess I just got it wrong anyway. However, I don't really see where it icould be so blurry, I just see the hands and the white part of the tails. I see where I got this wrong with the shoes, but this pose doesn't seem more unatural to me than vanilla's or a good number of the ones used in the classics (honorable mention for Knuckles' back balancing animation in Sonic 3), but, I'll see if I can do things any better...? Also, while I have to agree on the fact that the head seems a lil' bigger in the gasping frame, I just don't see what you mean with the cyclop thing.
But anyway, thanks for that feedback, helps a lot!
It looks unnatural and lame because it literally resembles the vanilla falling pose, rather than someone trying to stay balanced. Even Knuckles' balancing animation from Sonic 3 makes more sense.
The cyclops thing is because his eyes look merged together. Also, the main problems with the shading on your sprites are two things. One is the lack of contrast, and the other is the overuse of anti alias. The outlines, for a sample, have way too little contrast in them, compared to the rest of the sprite, causing them to look kind of flat. Here's what I mean:
And please, don't just rush this for a release.

I might have just dont this specific angle wrong, maybe others work fine.
...It's not the case... right...?
In any case, I did try to work on a replacement using my awesome battery power time, and came up with this!
(what, no it's not animated, what do you think I am? An efficient spriter? XDXDXDXDXD)
It's not perfect, and even worse, I have no idea of how I'm gonna do the other angles, assuming this one is gonna be the side angle!

I don't really see the point of remaking the vanilla balancing sprites as the others are based on the classics/SCD 2011. Hence why Kilometers was called TailsCD before, but that's just me.
If Lat decides to go with this, then I don't blame him, Its his wad.
But Lat, like MotorRoach said, take your time and don't rush. Especially with the shading/sprites, if you want this little fox to make it into 2.- *shot by SRB2 devs*

Ayyy I'm not dead yet!
Here are two things!
I have Speedwagon and MotorRoach to thanks for getting me back into making Silver. Before the nitpicks come, I fixed the ears already.
And here's something that's gonna get 0 attention because of what's above it, but it still exists!
No, I won't give to cookies to people who guess what this is because it's too easy to find out nowdays.

Hey Lat', you should work with Zipper to make a full Undertale Mod. I'm sure some of us in the SRB2 community would also love to see this.
Just supposing, ya know...

Oh, I know about that. Despite how much I like Undertale and all, I'm not really feeling like doing a whole mod, even with someone, and I'm not that good when it comes to Lua either, so I'm pretty sure Zipper could find someone better than me if that idea ever comes.
Oh alright!
On another note, here is a concept for Silver's ability, and, well, feedback on it would be pretty much appreciated.
To explain it briefly, the regular doublejump ability is a timed float, but if you doubletap forward while floating, you begin to fly at a much higher speed, and you can also fly up and down by mouselooking. However, while you can float normally for about 10 seconds with a full gauge, you can only boost for more or less 2 seconds.
also Silver screams IT'S NO USE when activating his boost thing
Telekinesis could also be taken as consideration, the real problem is that it would be all or nothing; it would be extremely situational if you could only use it on projectiles, or extremely broken if you could use it on enemies as whole.
