Prey WITH LYRICS - Friday Night Funkin' VS Sonic.EXE Mod Cover

[@baconjester7077]

@@housewilma4904 honestly in my starved Cannon I like to think that metal sonic was built at this time and ready to use in the event of Sonic CD, but at that point, Eggman turned into starved and built furnace after metal sonic saw what he was doing he fled to try to stop on his own

[@scorpiouskrimson]

I didn't really notice it before, but it really is Sonic's arrogance that does him in. In the actual song, he focuses more on his opponent to know what's ahead. He pays too much attention to Eggman to avoid Furnace coming at him suddenly, and chances are he's running slower than usual to keep pace with said opponent and continue engaging him in verbal combat, which lets Furnace get ahead of him easier. In this lyricised version, Sonic is too focused on what he's saying himself to realise that Furnace is literally explaining his plan. If he'd listened, he might have caught on to what Furnace was going to do, but he didn't. All of it could've been avoided if Sonic was less full of himself...now, Eggman's full of him instead.

[@linguine4500]

😳

[@kirbstagoontheaxolotl]

Furnace had to come up with multiple strategies in combat to win, and it is true, Sonic's arrogance does him in. Because he ignores most of what Furnace is saying to taunt him instead, ironically most of the other characters in this situation would have overcome this, but Sonic is the one who's arrogance comes back to haunt him

[@glennadobbs4753]

That is kinda true he literally told him the entire plan

[@Webbylightplays2005]

My own headcanon of Bad Future Prey and Fight or Flight is that after Tails defeats eggman, he gets sad that his friends were killed, and he spots a “Past” panel. So he tries to fix the situation and tries to turn it back to the original Sonic games.

[@artsy7448]

I love the way this song really gives a clear picture of how the chase goes. It's also cool how Furnace is constantly analyzing the situation and as the chase continues, he's forced to keep coming up with new strategies. In the beginning, Furnace just tries to capture Sonic alive. But then you have this line from Furnace: "Target absconding. Alternative detainment now applied. Stage two now active. Lethal force is authorized." At this point, Sonic must have increased his speed, making it clear to Furnace that he wasn't going to surrender. So Furnace decides to simply kill him. Furnace then analyzes Sonic's current speed and determines that he has a 99.99% chance of successfully capturing Sonic. But then Furnace says this: "Activating overdrive. Prey escalating current chase. Engage: reroute combat strategy." At this point, Sonic sped up even more, to the point that even after going into overdrive, Furnace can't keep up. This likely reduced that 99.99% chance of success drastically, maybe even reducing it to 0%. Because of this, Furnace is forced to come up with a new plan as catching up to Sonic is impossible at this point. Furnace actually filters out unnecessary audio while looking through Sonic's data here, and I found that kinda funny because it implies that Furnace, despite being a robot, can be distracted by noise. Furnace then decides to use Sonic's ego against him and makes a tactical retreat. I like the idea that the plan is essentially that if Furnace isn't chasing him, but Eggman is, then Sonic will slow down just to gloat. Furnace then uses that moment when Sonic reduced his speed to fly ahead of him and then caught him by surprise. I like that Sonic doesn't lose legitimately. Furnace wasn't able to match his speed and had to resort to trickery in order to prevail. Sonic even in death is still the fastest thing alive.

[@tommasocesarato3831]

Furnace can technically go faster than Sonic, as seen in the actual game, where it just surpasses him while the oblivious hedgehog is going at max speed. Although yes, Sonic is still the fastest thing _alive_ , Furnace is a robot and a lot of EggTech can outspeed him.

[@artsy7448]

One little note, Furnace wasn't silencing Sonic in the line "Filtering out voice of the target", he was isolating sonic's voice to check against his database of voices to be certain of his target, which is made clear by the immediate next line "Isolating sound cues; getting profile" So no, furnace cannot be distracted with noise, but his target identification is reliant on voice.

Which is actually how the starved story goes, everyone is their normal self except Eggman.

I feel Prey is a heavily underrated Sonic.exe song it captures the look of a Sonic game, having a familiar location become even more deadly, the high stakes of Sonic outracing Eggman and Furnace, and most importantly Eggman actually prevails his genius and Furnace's sneakiness brought Sonic's demise.

In my opinion, Furnace really doesn't have a personality to begin with, mostly due to the fact Starved with a single purpose and putting everything else aside.

[@victoriathecutie4525]

I really like Starved's portrayal in this song, the fact he looks less like he crawled out of hell somehow makes his presence and this entire situation SCARIER- as if this could be a plot for a game. Sonic's treating it as he usually does but Eggman's entire strategy changed, and Sonic's arrogance in thinking the now gluttonous doctor was the same does him in as he slows down to taunt him. This perfectly captures the essence of what a good horror scenario is. Sonic.EXE (the original concept) relies on making the characters powerless when an enemy that uses their weaknesses to win is far more effective. For a horror concept to be good, there has to be a win condition for the victims. If Sonic had realized Furnace was retreating, that it was a threat, he would have survived and maybe even won.

2:08 the furnace's voice its so amazing here omg i love it good job juno, please never stop.

[@yakkyrwhackr]

Timestamps of every Hedgehog Stew reference: 2:14 (Honorable mention, but not put there by Juno) The instrumental has a Hedgehog Stew leitmotif 2:35 Starved mentions hedgehog stew 3:05 Another mention of hedgehog stew 4:13 Another reference, this time more direct. Multiple times during Hedgehog Stew, Robotnik says "Oh boy!" 4:41 At this point it's almost a direct line from Hedgehog Stew 4:48 The captions read "[HIS SNEAKY SCHEME IS WORKING]" which is a direct line from Hedgehog Stew

2:53 I love how this line implies that Snickers canonically exists within the Sonic Universe. Now that I think of it, it also kinda implies that other food companies (including companies with meat-based products) could exist as well

[@Capstone2266]

Absolutely in love with Furnace's voice. Also, the fact Furnace is still designed after sonic shows how Starved still has the intelligence of eggman

[@Hansenfmly]

Gonna be real Juno dueting with himself but he's so good at singing in character that most people wouldn't notice hours

[@infinitethoughts9744]

The “Man, just eat a snickers” joke really caught me off guard. Amazing lyrics, as usual.

[@YuTops531]

I really like Furnace's lines, he talks like an actual machine, following commands and reciting protocols

[@xraenon1664]

Furnace is one of my favorite Metal-Sonic-esque designs, and this song was one of my favorites from the mod. This cover does the polar opposite of disappoint!

[@ThunderG2004]

Amazing work as always Juno, I find it funny how Starved is talking normally instead of the demonic voice he has in the actual song but it honestly makes sense since he’s really still Eggman but with red skin and eats animals and mobians!

[@mosaicarts828]

Love the details of how all of furnaces lines seemed to be registered conditions he’s reacting to according and how starved sounds normal, as remember, he’s still Robotnik, not some evil entity.

[@EvanKiesewetter]

The funny thing, is that while people do say that sonic goes slower to gloat while starved is singing, allowing Furnace to catch up to him (which I do think), but the sprites show otherwise, as sonic's sprite implies he's going faster, and the background moves much faster along with that.

1:50 I think it’s cool how Furnace literally lists sonic’s faults, and then uses it against him straight away here, sonic proves his point by literally taunting him. It makes it so much more frustrating to see sonic be killed in the end. Cool detail. Edit - what I meant was that sonic was so focused on himself that he didn’t notice furnace’s ‘temporary retreat’, which is what caused him to be killed in the end

[@jaxonmckay3504]

And even furnace saying *NOW PREPARING FOR HEDGEHOG DEFEAT* could be Furnace seeing how Sonic isn’t listening and is gonna watch his downfall during the entire Starved section until the end

This is amazingly amazing "You're always like, six-thousand steps behind! Give up, my guy!".

[@LamarjorieQueen]

My favorite part is that, unlike most other retellings and alternative universes, the designs stay very simple, and similar to the actual sonic characters. Even without the context, furnace and eggman’s designs still feel like they could exist in universe, under the right context. The pixel art sells it for me, lol.

[@marcwiil-from-scratch]

"Man, just eat a Snickers!" "Your diet doesn't do your skin any favors." This has got to be my favorite lyric video from you ever. It was REALLY *well done.* And the way Starved says "The taste of hedgehog has a rich, nuanced flavor." was awsome!
