[@Cr3zant]

The whole video is full of great bizarro world stuff. Like how the whole video is written out to portray Eizl as some underdog hero while playing the equivalent of Brawl Meta Knight.

[@danielsurvivor1372]

​@@Cr3zant Yeeeeee, I'm no fighting games expert but it was getting stale of watching Eggman fight, which is unfortunate cuz I also like Eggman as character but it just seems like we replaced one op with maybe not op but same boring move. So I wonder if it'll be considered broken again?

Pulling out Tails to counter an Eggman. If the stage had been Death Egg's Eye, I would've told people this was Sonic Adventure 2. More seriously, nice job overall. Most of my exposure to STF was single player via the Gems Collection (mostly trying to get Super Sonic), so these videos about the competitive scene are definitely interesting.

As a HUGE Sonic fan it's honestly incredible to see such a forgotten game by the general audience like Sonic the goddamn Fighters make a resurgence in popularity. This is super cool to see! I never thought a competitive scene for this game would form but I guess here we are! Very educational, well structured and just generally entertaining video, INCREDIBLE job to everyone involved! To be a competitive player requires so much hard work and dedication, it's honestly so admirable!! I might actually keep up with the game's competitive scene, this is just so interesting!! Sorry I'm just rambling at this point but again, excellent video, keep up the great work! Yosh o7

Honestly, I know nothing about this game, and have seen little of the video, but I do hope the game becomes popular enough to catch the attention of Sega. Having Sonic consistently be a 3D fighter and making Eggman a playable character in such a manner is wildly interesting to me and I hope the fans get a modern title with all the fan favorite characters.

Loving the videos wuss, keep it up. I'm curious if you've got any interest someday doing a similar documentary project on the Sonic Riders Competitive scene. They've got a crazy history and community, and they're super creative in terms of introducing new characters and mechanics (Project M style). All the best

[@wusstunes]

Hey! Potentially but honestly if I'm not obsessed with something already it's hard to do this kind of thing. If I end up really liking Sonic Riders maybe, as of now I've never really cared for it personally, but have watched a few videos about the scene. It seems neat, but not sure what I could offer that the Akshon Esports video hasn't.

I’m curious, what makes Honey uncontroversial, and why did they have her banned to begin with? Was she considered Broken too, or was it just a blanket ban on secret characters?

[@DeitySkullKid]

Honey was not playable in the original arcade release, and was added back into the Xbox version She's at the same power level as all other normal characters, I think she was just not allowed because until the Xbox arcade port she was completely unplayable She's uncontroversial probably because she just wasn't in the original game, but completed, it's basically just an extra character

[@wusstunes]

It was just a blanket ban because ranked mode doesn't allow secret characters, and most early tournaments to my understanding mirrored the settings used in ranked mode. (Best of 5 rounds, no barrier regen etc.) Functionally she's basically a hybrid of Knuckles and Amy. Very good character, but not the best.

Been thinking about picking this game up after watching these awesome videos. I’m guessing Metal Sonic is super broken if he’s banned even after allowing secret characters 😭 how Ezil feels about Eggman is how I feel about Metal lol

I've seen metal, just casually mind you, full screen laser that's annoying to dodge and does decent damage, and laser claw move that does a big chunk, I think I've been two shot by it? But we might have had damage + when playing And that's like 2 moves not the whole kit
