No Toughness Sonny Isn't That Bad...| The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

A lot of people don't even want to play as Sonny in the game mainly due to his Ability and low health/Toughness but it really isn't that bad i feel like you can still take hits pretty well and his ability is good for losing family chases.

Where are the Sonny mains at?!

[@greekgodelvin1745]

Right here. He’s so underrated and versatile if you play him right

[@J3S0N.]

I love playing Sonny, I always run his rush build. Radar Detector, Overlooked, and Highly Skilled. I mainly love playing him because he's really the only challenging victim to escape as due to his low toughness. If there's a Johnny running a max damage build or a leatherface, you're gonna get 1-2 tapped if you aren't careful.

[@sj_milk_]

*crickets* 🦗🦗🦗🦗

[@sj_milk_]

To be fair... I play Connie a lot max proficiency and she's not THAT much tougher than Sonny so it's a similar play style! I like playing stealthily, with the lobbies taking so long to get into a game I don't want to rush the game, make it last more than 1½ minutes and I'm having fun 😊 I love the way you use his ability during chases though, he looks fun! I'd like to try play him again, thanks middi 😊

[@Papa_Naka]

Sonny main since the start. Sonny is the best character next to Connie for getting doors unlocked. His ability makes him priceless in solo queue and a leader when playing with friends.

[@onetime138]

I used to play dbd but there is only so much holding a button to gen repair you can do before you get bored 😂

[@J3S0N.]

Came back to this video just to realzie that Middi predicted the future 😭 dude said "what if dannys lockpicking ability was on sonny" and now here we are, sonny with fast hands

[@Amilia4Anime]

Tbf i do see sonny being the type of guy to have fast hands from danny

[@miyugaming09]

I respect sonny mains so much

[@Venomousse91]

I no longer play TCM. At first I loved it, then I just lost interest in it. However I love watching your videos. Top notch content creator! 👍

[@showmetheevidence8755]

You can get 34 attribute points if you go left and stay left on the skill tree.

[@Beecherina]

I've seen that Sonny can use the ability while doing an objective (e.g. battery, don't know if it works with lockpick) and when you do that, you can turn around and see things. You should try it.

[@justfanci]

Had a lot of fun when I thought of doing this challenge a few weeks ago, it's quite a challenge and things can get pretty intense! But I've enjoyed the adrenaline rush, it makes things feel more realistic and the family that much more terrifying

[@thebestwmd6586]

I’ve watched several of your vids and enjoyed them. I like your editing 😎

[@justfanci]

@@thebestwmd6586 Thanks, I appreciate the support!

[@ananicole4440]

Me (a Sonny main) finally feeling recognized *^.^*

[@CreditR01]

13:05 - I still only play DBD but I love watching TCM gameplay from everyone else! :] Love your vids~

[@reeeee5399]

I main Leland and I always be escaping with a proficiency build. I tried a strength build like choose fight and agitator and empowered. It didn’t work out good, since nothing gets done and I just try being the distraction by letting my team know that the killers are all on me, but they don’t do nothing.

[@OkMiddi]

Solo que pain

[@morbidlyobeserobocop3038]

I solo queue Family a lot. Luckily most of the people I play with can tell who's trying to be a distraction if they're gonna be obvious about it. Years of DBD has made it obvious.

[@mechadoggy]

“I just try being the distraction” Yeah, I feel like that build only works if you’re in a group where you’re communicating with others. Otherwise, everyone should just run high stealth and proficiency for a more solo-oriented build.

[@reeeee5399]

@@mechadoggy I was communicating with them 🤷‍♂️ but rushing is way more effective than stealth. Gives the family pressure and they start to scramble all over the place.

[@mechadoggy]

@@reeeee5399 I mean, the point of communicating with them while you’re “being the distraction” is so that they would go do stuff, but like you said, “they don’t do nothing.” They’re basically not being team players.

[@chrispaz9647]

To answer your question, I play both TCM and DBD. Both games have really fun styles of playing and they’re both always good times.

[@tarek5657]

I always try to run a sort of D&D sneak attack rogue build on Sonny. You can use his ability to make sure no other killer is in range while you take the 1v1 or go for a backstab. Then after you get the stun you hide from the family member and stalk them again before going for another stab. Helps especially when distracting some of the slower family members. I’d def suggest a video trying that can kind of build/play style

[@tyslums]

i used sonny when i first got the game and i found a load out that kinda works efficient locksmith choose flight (when the nerf comes just replace with endurance perk: ran track) bounce back better (sonny can’t get quick drip) i run 44 prof and 25 toughness

[@GameMastersKip]

Since you brought it up, you should absolutely play Palword. There are all the chickens you could ever want to kill!

[@OkMiddi]

My base is full of them

[@franmariee2002]

you can walk through the bushes whilst grandpa screams btw! fun tip i learned the other week

[@OkMiddi]

It’s a good tip! The only reason I don’t move in bushes sometimes is because you get spotted a lot, when I play family and I see someone moving in bushes it catches my eye every single time

[@JonathanRamirez-kd3zv]

@@OkMiddiWalking in bushes stops working at level 4 grandpa. Until then, its always good unless you know family is nearby. Bushes only work if you are absolutely still and commit when family is around.

[@eisdamme]

Sonny is definitely my favorite out of all of the victims. I play a little bit of all of them (family too) and also a lot of DBD! Lately I see people picking Sonny more than I used to - used to get him easily in any lobby.

[@OkMiddi]

Sonny is off meta but he's super annoying to play against when someone knows how to stealth play with him

[@feetenthusiast1015]

ive honestly mainly switched from dbd to tcm. lately ive been playing dark and darker and recently modded minecraft, still play tcm here and there

[@huhwow5344]

Thank me later 50 proficiency rest on health Well perk , proficiency perk , and grandpa perk so you can move when he screams you’ll be able to unlock everything especially seeing all the killers

[@vespinite903]

Palworld content would be incredibly fun!

[@bmore7823]

Love the tcm build videos. I'm also interested in what other games you want to play

[@OkMiddi]

Honestly quite a lot, probably this year i'll do tcm then i'll switch between other stuff

[@brandimurray1984]

I moved from DBD to TCM. The one thing I hated about DBD was having to depend on teammates to escape. I play solo, and if I got stuck with a bad team it was over. TCM I can just do my thing and there's no depending on anyone to rescue me or help with gens.

[@thebestwmd6586]

I have something like 5k hours in DbD. I love it still, but I only play TCM now bcuz I love it too. I’m excited to see the future of TCM and plan on being part of the ride the whole time 🙂 Much love and good health Middi! Seeing your videos are a highlight of my days

[@OkMiddi]

Thank you my friend

[@taylozen]

on the DBD question i play it from time to time but not often, but with this next patch i think i'll be playing a lot more sadako because they're making her fun again

[@Crow_02]

Oh god, thank you for saying it. Playing a connie and acting like you're the best in the world. XD

[@SarahHalara]

Oh yeah, as far as other asymmetrical horror i only played DBD a handful of times, never got into it. But F13, man i think i played nothing but that a solid 2 years lol. By the time i heard about Evil Dead it was fizzling out, sadly. Now just impatiently waiting for Killer Klowns to drop! I see it listed in the PS store now but still says "to be determined" for release date 😭 recently rewatched the movie, so cheesey, i love it 😅

[@LulfsBloodbag]

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even know that there was an escape there for generator on gas station. I've never seen anyone use it before lmao, everyone just goes through the door usually.

[@jackmeadows74]

Middi, if you crouch before you climb the ladder or go through a crawl space, nugget won’t give your position away. Not sure if you knew that but thought I’d let you know just in case!😁

[@Miito._.4]

I love dbd and tcm i would play both but tcm is hard for me😭

[@kajuanhurn]

If you use Sonny ability while picking a gate or getting items. You can see a 360° view of your surroundings. I found that out from Arctik

[@rdvelvets]

I played dbd before tcm came out, but when it did I found myself playing it a lot more, but I still play dbd a bit. Also until dawn is a cool game I think you'd like. It isn't asym but I think you'd enjoy it.

[@OkMiddi]

Until dawn is a awesome game, played it a while back and i really enjoy the story type games i think i uploaded a video of it somewhere

[@Thoast_]

3:54 I mean there was gun's earlier title, friday the 13th. y'know, till it. Died.

[@CalPlayzGaming]

will have to give sonny a try

[@tvdvd8661]

0:37 Holy based! Hear that Connie Ana mains? Middi said youre playing video game Journalist mode 😂

[@jonathanbeaulier]

I play both DBD and TCM. Played evil dead until the moment they said no more support for it was coming

[@OkMiddi]

Wish they'd still update it

[@rustyravenyt9502]

Hey middi I don’t know if you know this but when grandpas screaming you can move in the bushes until level 4 19:33

[@pre_xavier]

Middi when your doing car battery you can use Sonny’s ability to look around, not sure about gen tho.

[@tengenforger4944]

I still play DBD but I'm getting more and more burnt out on it. The amount of sweaty survivors, try hards, bullying, etc is becoming too much. The developers favor survivor way too much and its made survivor mains toxic af

[@aburrito4973]

White Noise 2 is good as an asym but it’s pretty dead unless you play at night you might get a game. Ghostbusters unleashed is fun as the ghost imo.

[@ericjames4034]

Evolve is still one of best asym games. It was just before it's time

[@skmkr5222]

9:17 WTF I did not know!

[@jessahinze6856]

And I seen one person play sonny after I died and he used his ability while doing car battery so he pretty much was able too look every where while his ability was active I thought that was a neat trick with him, and other asym like games, idk tbh ik there's killer clowns coming out but that release date hasn't been confirmed yet I think

[@Thebrosatgaming]

A game like DBD and TCM is this new game coming out called killer clownz this year supposedly

[@yorkshiredevil]

Still play DBD but I mainly play TCM now. Just downloaded the new Palworld off games pass thinking of giving it a go.

[@GOLDkingz907]

Middy why not go back to evil dead to play a few subscriber customs for the one time.😅😂 for your OG fans.

[@Aci_yt]

I wish Evil Dead didnt die

[@OkMiddi]

Yeah wish they’d still update it

[@Beefy_Boy]

As cook i mark the gen and it stops making noise for a second so you can mark other people

[@pooltoorner]

Have you ever played outlast? I get the feeling you'd be good at those games.

[@ssjcuatro4016]

i say go for it on playing the pokémon with guns game cause it’s a fresh hype game like how TCM was when you started playing!

[@King-King-LLC]

A good tip, if you’re going up a ladder that has a chicken on the top as long as you are crouching when you start climbing the ladder it will not alert the chicken when you get off the ladder.

[@warmredwater]

Did not know that.

[@OkMiddi]

never knew that, good tip

[@elmacho1336]

In the same vein, when you go over a vault spot with a bone charm on the other side, if you crouch at the start it won't trigger the charm

[@King-King-LLC]

@@elmacho1336 ooo, I did not know that, thank you

[@nucci69420]

Sonny is extremely good if u really know how to use him

[@adrianb3890]

If you know which bush you gonna hide for the whole game yes xD

[@unsuspiciousdweller8967]

Honestly, I think Palworld is popular enough that the algorithm (i think i mispelt that) shouldn't punish you for trying it. It'd be a good excuse to branch out as well!

[@Mr.SteelinKeepIt]

You also misspelled misspelled. Lol

[@Fendixquisite]

Tried so hard to get into dbd but I couldn’t. I guess tcm fit more my standards for asymm games

[@williamedwards4151]

Did you try VHS while it was still at thing?

[@OkMiddi]

Never tried it before hmm

[@CoriandertheFox]

I would play more TCM, probably on par with the amount of DBD I play, but with lobby dodging and timer, I just don't have the patience to play a 5-minute match only to get immediately sent back to the lobby for 15. Also I do know that the lobby timer is going to be removed, but another turn-off for me is how bad the game is for newbies like me.

[@opiharv]

Every game is bad for people who are new..? That last part didn’t make too much sense. but everything else i understand.

[@HalvetsYT]

Day 4 of asking middi if he’s seen the eight legged Chinese man

[@tvdvd8661]

12:53 Played Palworld for a while it made me want to play Dark souls for some reason though 😂 Went back to DS2 for sl1 run. No dbd for me

[@OkMiddi]

It's for sure the starting zone in palworld, it reminded me of souls lol

[@houseofm9700]

Wait until you bump.into johnny😂

[@Ronald-hk6fk]

I'd rather pick Sonny over Julie who's always paranoid a family member is around when they aren't

[@roberthoddinott9160]

My favorite asymmetrical horror game is still re:sistance which was bundled with resident evil 3. Palworld feels like a knockoff. It's what if fortnite and ark had a baby while thinking about Pokemon instead of dinosaurs. Still relatively fun at first.

[@maisvc13]

personally i had to quit dbd because after so long it feels so much worse then playing tcm or literally anything else, it feels very dead and stale

[@LulfsBloodbag]

The Palword dev team, Pocket Pair, seem shady to me. They're pretty much known for copying the style of other games and then abandoning them. Also the CEO is really into AI "art" which isn't surprising when both of their games have been known for being strongly "inspired" by other titles. However, not me or anyone else can tell you what you can or cannot play, so go for it if you want to.

[@daviskaedrick4830]

I’m trying soooo hard to like him but he’s a jellyfish and his ability isn’t all that plus he can’t pick locks that well😂😅 but undetected helps me escape sometimes

[@OkMiddi]

You’ve really got to think ahead when playing him, using his ability before you exit basement doors to see if anyone is near, or keeping track where the family are before you try to get a lock off but in chases you can normally give the family the slip by getting behind cover seeing what direction they’re running then just moving in the opposite direction

[@Jarl_Ballin_69]

He can pick locks pretty damned well imo. Invest in higher proficiency & grab Efficient Locksmith (40% chance your lockpicks won't break)

[@fumycase]

I’ve noticed a increase of pc players using macros to win grapples in this game

[@OkMiddi]

Yeah seen a few myself, something with sissy and grapples..

[@master-qk4pr]

I play both TCM and DBD

@@OkMiddi lol gotcha

[@radmi2746]

Pixelz went back to evil dead

[@Cloxer]

13:00 I stopped playing DBD after playing for 4k hours despite them adding way more new content than TCM because the gameplay of TCM as soon as it came out was refreshing a lot to me. The idea of collaborating with your teammates or at least increasing more potential of it this way was a very interesting take to me, i will say i wish i could play as victim more often on TCM. Still, the queue times for victims are horrible compared to instantly playing as a family member which is kind of fine but is making me grow this mentality that you know if less people play victim by having them nerfed in order to apply the horror cinematic aspect of the original idea of the game i could have a better chance because i haven't leveled up any of my victim perks to level 3 at all which stinks. Still, again i am cool with playing as a family member. Despite the changes DBD is trying to apply to decrease the ugliest part of it's game a variety of problems still persist after several years and i am tired of waiting

[@koodude101]

Nah full damage sissy main for me. :)

[@jamespain2138]

Sonny is hot a$$ it definitely shows your skill though 20:40

[@nicolasorivelle73]

I don't like DBD!! TCM and F13 are very good !!!

[@Sherofex]

DBD is to mainstream and commercial TCM for me only

[@sj_milk_]

13:00 I moved from DBD to TCM, I still played DBD more for a while but I'm very much done with it now! Its just so unintuitive. do 5 gens, do gate, escape. So boring. at least with TCM you have a different option for escapes every game to mix it up compared to holding mouse 1 🥱

[@drpepper7018]

You should try out the new horror circus game coming to steam this year!! It’s supposed to be another a-sym 1v4 that I’m super excited about… can’t remember the name of it tho :/

[@drpepper7018]

Just remembered- it’s called “Carnival Hunt”

[@OkMiddi]

I'll be playing it!
