Don't call it a comeback, I've never made a countdown

[@Stelios78910]

I hope you come back... for another collab countdown.

[@aneonfoxtribute]

Oh hey, your sprites have the poses of Leon from DR. Neat.

[@tedgruver7618]

Silver Nice to meet you.

[@TekkenGirl4Lyfe]

That Pothead the Porcupine joke in the Generations!Silver entry.... do you, by any chance, watch BrainScratch Commentaries?

[@hazzydahaka13]

You two go so well together

[@MrSentinel07]

Kind of funny how the less powerful versions of a Sonic game can do the final boss better. Seriously, the Time Eater was so much better in the 3DS version of Sonic Generations compared to the HD version.

[@BenjaMage]

*Time Eater, but you're absolutely right.

[@MrSentinel07]

Oh yeah, right. Shows how long it's been since I last played Generations. :D

[@CodeCaden]

Honestly I hated 3ds Time Eater because it was so hard for me

I still internally scream about the fact I played the version of Unleashed with the bad Dark Gaia fight.

[@voltingmaster5458]

What The heck was Sonic Team thinking when they made that Button Mashing Sequence!

[@AnthonyMtheGamerArtist]

I still like the base game of Unleashed HD even though it has the crubbier final boss. Dark Gaia’s first phase can go die in the Earth’s core for all I care. I hated that mega laser.

[@storytellerrex2537]

Im happy i played the wii version

[@chaossonic210]

I dont exactly hate hd dark gaia but i never played the sd version but i can see your point.

[@captaincortez4917]

Well, at least bad Dark Gaia fight is in the same version as the best Egg Dragoon fight. That's something.

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

The comedy in this alone made this list better than my version on this topic.

[@sanityjinxazu]

You know, What often makes a countdown for me is the opening portion. And while I've not seen Silver's work so far, this is the first time where I've had to pause the video and breathe 'cause his voicework is so ... honestly I lack the words to describe it! Simply put I've so far enjoyed his presence in the span of a minute and I'll have to stop by his channel to see more of his work. And the editing was as much of a joy that amplifies the humor visually along side the audio.

[@CrasherX2000]

sanityjinxazu *U GET A RAISE AND A PROMOSHUN*

[@michaelsnavley6513]

Considering what Silver Keyblade said about Silver in Generations being a good clone of the Nega Wisp Armor... I hadn't really thought about that.

[@puppymaroon964]

I think one of the reasons Silver in Generations is a good clone of the Nega Wisp Armor is because it's not as blatant.

[@Star_Cris]

"The Core" should return for the next Super Sonic Boss. I don't care how. Just do it.

[@puppymaroon964]

Maybe it can have at least have a spiritual successor that serves as the next Super Sonic Boss.

[@sambarber944]

I'm so glad the Metal Madness/Overlord boss fight got the credit it deserved! Also its concept discussion is the funniest thing I've seen in a while XD

Le Dapper Greninja While I like the Biolizard fight, the Dreamcast version could get kinda bullshit at times with the two pits and the sheer constant projectiles from the boss itself can get overwhelming.

[@alanmooreisrasputinreincar8106]

I was more surprised sonic vs shadow round 2 didn't make it

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

Biolizard's problem is honestly the glitchiness of the fight, for some reason, your attacks can fail to hit, and for some reason no one can figure out why

He did countdowns years ago, including a Sonic Bosses list.

Dark Gaia huh... well i'll give you this, Endless Possibilities orchestral themeing is amazing, (Also merry Christmas)

[@therainbowyoshi817]

This video left me with such a smile on my face that a like couldn't be avoided. The humor was outstanding here and the countdown was a joy as always. Didn't watch it on Christmas Eve because I was gone all day at a NFL FOOTBALL GAME (my team lost D':) but this was a great Christmas present for me. Merry Christmas you two, and God Bless!

[@brendenwright9351]

Good god. I haven't laughed so much during a countdown since Top Ten Distractions by Fawful's Minion. This was awesome, Maverick!

[@supermetroidzach1612]

5 Reasons why sonic unleashed HD boss Is better than the underpowered version 1. Big hub to attack 2. Dark gaia isn’t the size of the screen 3. Super sonic is more fast 4. the the graphics are more fun to look at 5. The shield Makes the HD version more playable

[@seirramoon388]

merlina the black queen was an epic fight, story wise at least since she also got her own unique final boss theme: with me by all ends

[@scarletnight4554]

I was confused when I saw dark Gaia, having played the PS3 version and all, but yeah, the Wii and ps2 versions seem, a lot better

[@DARamosYT]

This got me thinking of the final boss in Sonic 3&Knuckles. It was a pretty tense gauntlet made even more memorable by the Doomsday Zone. Perhaps it may be dated, but that epic theme gets me pumped even to this day.

[@lightyearpig12]

Remember when the Chaos Emeralds were important? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[@crimsonflame2k]

Okay, you Silver acknowledged that Unleashed is awesome. That's all I need today. Good list all in all, Maverick.

[@knightslayer1158]

[@matthewgartside7627]

As much as this video was made a year ago, it shows how...underrated Sonic Rider: Zero Gravity actually *IS*. The ABIS fight is actually one of my favorite boss fights, especially for someone that hasn't played many Sonic titles, as it was the game that made me love the Sonic Riders series (except Free Riders, that piece of sh*t can die in a god damn fire.). Seriously, to this day I love the humor here as well as the most recent video of Maverick's for the Top Ten Worst Sonic Bosses. Seriously, one of my favorite lists from you, Maverick.

[@TheAuron32]

15:30 "so much screaming!" you have no idea...

[@okamiodonnell9153]

Opening with talking about Sonic's rough history. Saying 06 is terrible. Praising Mania. Bashing Forces. Saying how Modern Sonic isn't good as Classic Sonic. Yep, this is a Sonic video!

[@CrasherX2000]

Okami O'Donnell ok so there a little bias Relax The video is still good

[@CrasherX2000]

Not to mention All of which you said _it’s true_

[@thencsmaster4343]

Another Awesome Christmas Gift Thanks Guys. Keep up The Awesome Job. Also This was Really Funny to Watch.

[@AmateurAnimations65]

Character battles in sonic, the ones where you fight a fellow anthropomorphic animal rather than a giant monster or a machine, have always had a pretty bad rep. Most of them are pathetically easy, some of them are flat out annoying, and all of them tend to have way overused meme-able voice clips like "Oh no", " It's no use" and my personal favorite, "I'm the coolest". But all that really helps the occasional good ones shine more. Sonic Generations especially nailed this with its Shadow and Silver boss fights which remain my favorite character battles to this day

[@joellee2748]

My reactions to each of the Top 10 entries: 10. Before explanation: WHAT?? After explanation: Actually, that makes sense! 9. Never seen any gameplay of this game but it looks very good for a boss fight. 8. No surprise. Imo, the most creative boss fight ever made in racing game history. 7. So many references = Good boss fight 6. Great music in such a rush of a boss fight! 5. One question: Why does the boss even have platforms on it's back in the first place? 4. For once, IT'S SOME USE!!! 3. Absolute agreement for this boss' placement in the top 10. 2. Oh wait! I completely forgot that this boss fight had phases! My bad for thinking this shouldn't have made the list! (sorry....) 1. YESSSSS!!!!! Thank you!

[@HerotonAlmighty2011]

The Music is Shadow the Hedgehog is not forgettable, not gonna lie, getting tired of hearing that criticism when I feel it's not exactly true. Sure, not every track hits home, but they're mostly all great, like Cosmic Fall, G.U.N. Fortress, Digital Circuit, the list goes on. Also, while on the topic of unpopular opinions that will get me flamed, Sonic Mania is just "Okay". ALSO, completely disagree with the Metal Sonic fight in Mania. It's cool for the first 2 minutes, but then it GREATLY overstays its welcome imo.

[@masterfrillish6393]

HerotonAlmighty2011 I agree with all of this. I haven’t been enjoying Mania as much as other Sonic titles.

[@HerotonAlmighty2011]

If it A) Had an actual plot instead of just a setup and characters with no personalities, B) All original Zones and C) Maybe included characters like Classic Amy or hell, maybe Shadow, I would've called it the best Sonic game in a while. But I'm also not a huge fan of 2D Sonic, so it might just be me as well

[@HerotonAlmighty2011]

This is a comment section, not discord, don't do that

[@masterdhegamer6661]

HerotonAlmighty2011 why put Shadow in a Sonic game made to celebrate classic Sonic?

[@hazzydahaka13]

Fun fact. EVERY. SINGLE. DAYTIME BOSS. IN HD UNLEASHED. FOLLOWS THAT FORMULA TO A T (with a dishonorable mention going to the Egg Lancer for being actually cancer inducing). It's honestly not that much of a surprise that the Wherehog bosses are the only good fights in that game when you think about it, but that doesn't mean it ain't sad.

[@superluigi018]

@@hazzydahaka13 I really liked Egg Lancer, though the perspective changes can be disorienting. Egg Devil Ray is my favorite.

[@hazzydahaka13]

@@superluigi018 As much as I want to say "I can see where you're coming from", I honestly can't see that at all. While yes, I do agree that Egg Devil Ray is the best daytime fight in Unleashed, 1. there really isn't that much competition to begin with since the 2 other bosses suck even harder. And 2. I still don't like it that much since it's annoying as hell in my opinion. Honestly, there are only 2 good bosses in HD Unleashed to me, and those are Dark Guardian and the Egg Dragoon, and even then, they're just average to me (especially in comparison to the Egg Dragoon fight in Generations, that fight was PEAK). Egg Dragoon as the wherehog didn't really strike the same chord for me since it doesn't really put up as much of a fight as it did in Generations (though it's still LEAGUES above the Forces fight as classic sonic, that fight SUCKED), and the Dark Guardian was almost perfect in my eyes, if it weren't for the stupid block puzzle that you have to do in between damaging it. If it were just you vs someone your own size that you can combo, it would have been PEAK.
