What should’ve happened in Sonic Forces

[@VioletSensei]

Yesssssss! This is how it should’ve been. I was expecting this type of cutscenes in Sonic Forces, but once again we were disappointed by SEGA. Tails’ character development was amazing until Sonic Team decided that jokes like “Baldy McNosehair” was more important than the stories in the games. Forces is a joke for trying to be serious when the series has taken a completely different direction. You nailed everyone’s personalities and even put Sonic being actually tortured unlike the game. Congratulations to you, my friend. That was one of the best animations I’ve seen not only for the characters’ movement, but also it was the greatest representation of what Sonic Forces needed to be.

[@hakasek4052]

Tails was always my favorite, I hate when they try to write him off as some helpless bystander instead of one of the main heroes.

[@tailsprower117]

@@hakasek4052 So true.But the fans are also sometimes the worst.They like to write fanfics with Tails as a kind of helpless baby because Sonic can save him then. They want some Aww moments. Its always like"Someone is mean to Tails or hits him and he cries and Sonic saves him and hugs him and aww -_- Its good that Tails has many fans but some of them see Tails just as a kind of little cute puppy.

[@hakasek4052]

​@@tailsprower117 I think those people grew up with a different version of tails. I grew up with a PS2 disc called Sonic Mega Collection Plus, and so most of the games I played were the Genesis and Game Gear games, which didn't really have much story, but the version of him on TV I grew up with was from Sonic X. That version of Tails was a mechanical genius, tough fighter who saved Sonic on the regular and not the other way around, and an awesome fighter pilot who had his own combination of the X-wing from Star Wars and the mechs from Macross. I loved that version of tails, but there is another version of the character from the older cartoon called "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog", which today is most famous for The quote "SnooPINGASusalISee?" this version of Tails was a useless annoying Crybaby who would leap into Sonic's arms Scooby Doo style after a good thundercrack. I had never understood the Tails haters until I saw that show, If I grew up with that version I'd hate him too.

[@megaturtleman1218]

What i expected from Forces, but not what i got. (Sadly...) It's sad when fans know WAY more about these characters then Sega and Sonic Team.

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

If you played Sonic Adventure 1 & 2. Sega/Sonic Team did knew what they were doing back then with Tails. Adventure 1 Defeated Eggman & stopped a rocket bomb from destroying Station Square.

[@MarioandSonicsupergamer]

This how Tails should've been in Sonic Forces. In fact Sonic Forces really did mess up the cast, not only that but the game play was short, and they butchered Classic Sonic. At I mean I don't mind the OC's, but replacing Tails and Knuckles as sidekicks is just not a good thing to do when Tails and Knuckles have always been through Sonic's Adventure. Hopefully there's a Sonic Adventure remake and if that ever happens, maybe the creators will finally remember. But then again Sonic Cannons are always confusing.

[@robbiewalker2831]

It has been extremely confusing since the Dreamcast died.

[@lightice9275]

[@makaylafloyd8156]

I love the swap in character roles when Classic Sonic pops up. Sonic takes care of Tails, usually, but when Tails is better suited in the world, he becomes Sonic's caretaker. I can also imagine that when Modern Sonic and Tails' meet, Tails is going to have a hard time not hovering protectively over him as well. Just love the role swap!

[@crystalstarheart9157]

I like how Classic wasn't much of a talker, especially since he's Sonic when he was a kid.

What Forces should’ve been but SEGA decided to play it a bit TOO safe. Then again knowing the Sonic fan base they’d all criticize SEGA for taking Sonic into a “darker toned direction” if they didn’t play it safe.

[@MikeDarklighter]

It's a vicious cycle of not being able to please everybody, or at least the most vocal ones from a fandom

[@maryafantalia8614]

True. Exactly, it's the fans (and the rush) who prevented Sega from being audacious. But with what Frontiers gave to us, there's hope to see scenes like that! :D

[@JonnySpec]

Tails fighting Chaos > Tails not even trying to fight Chaos And Sonic actually looks like he's been tortured for months in this. Edit: Someone should make a mod to replace the "Sonic, help me!" cutscene with this video, even if it'd be out of place. Edit 2: I just realised that this video is also more consistent with the way Classic Sonic enters the portal in the True Ending of Sonic Mania.

[@Kirilltv818]

[@JonnySpec]

@@Kirilltv818 Sega have more recently said there is no Classic dimension, Classic Sonic is from the past, and Sonic Mania and Superstars are now set before Sonic Adventure instead. Also, Tails does remember Classic Sonic in Sonic Forces. And while Tails hasn't fought Chaos alone, I think he's fought stronger foes than Chaos 0 alone.

[@Kirilltv818]

@@JonnySpec Again, Tails fought with Chaos 4 with Knuckles and Sonic.Stories of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Gamma and Big are happing in the same time.And that means Tails fought with Chaos with Knuckles and Sonic.I won't listen to this stupid thing,that Sonic Mania is canon.For my canon there is exists two universes: Classic and Modern.

This is *exactly* what Tails *should’ve been like* in Sonic Forces along with his story and Knuckles’ story. I did not know what the game developers were thinking when they made Sonic Forces. When ruining the gameplay, character development, and destroying Tails’ personality makes me wanna hate Forces for any given reason. I guess they never learned what Tails and Knuckles have been through with their own stories in Sonic Adventure. I remember where Tails went up against Chaos 4 and obliterated the living crap out of him, but I don’t think the developers remembered it. I definitely prefer Mania over Forces, but if there is ever a Sonic Adventure remake, I hope it’s everything what we wanted from the original version. This video means a lot to me. Thank you for making this.

[@tabifiedler6944]

YES, JUSTICE FOR TAILS! Your rewritten scene is far superior to how Tails was portrayed in Forces! Props to you for making Tails a badass again, this was a really well made video! Of course, I don’t expect anything less :) Edit: YOU MADE SONIC LOOK LIKE HE WAS ACTUALLY TORTURED AS WELL? Wow, you’re just strengthening all of Forces’ weak points! I really wish Sega would have expanded on that more.

The problem is that Tails is a kid,he has never fight with Chaos, only if Knuckles and Sonic with him.He afraid,that he can fail everyone,he can die, especially that he was in depression after Sonic's fail.He doesn't know Classic, because this Sonic is from Sonic Mania.

[@Kirilltv818]

Sonic is like a Spider-Man.His joke's is defensive reaction and that's why we see him okay.And the torments are deferent: physical and psychological.Maybe Sonic feel psychological torment, because Eggman taked over the world.But his jokes helps feeling better.And he was captured in Unleashed, when he was in his Super Form,so he got use to it.

Why can't Sega create something like this with the characters? This is the Tails everyone wants.

[@owl9130]

*Expectations vs Reality* They should have let us play as Tails to fight Chaos and then put the cut scene where tails is begging for Sonic to help him after he lost against Chaos. That would have given Tails the aspect that he at least TRIED but failed in the end!

More like I want to fix Sonic Forces and make it more like what want it. Story and gameplay. Kinda like what the game should've been. A story with more depth, but not too edgy like Shadow the Hedgehog, or too cringy like most modern sonic games are these days. The gameplay will be an attempt at mixing the boost-to-win and the adventure style of gameplay. It'll take a long time, but I hope to make the game that we wanted a year ago.

YES! And at 3 minutes would have been a perfect time for a level to introduce us to the Player Avatar's abilities. Tails starts the level by saying, "This Wisp Gun is experimental, but you're injured and I can't risk wrenching your ankle by flying" Get the first impossible to miss Wisp. "Alright I've overclocked it, it should have all its capabilities unlocked" At the end, just before the resting scene, Sonic Team could have then added a little extra with the gun in pieces on the side, sparking, to imply that it overloaded and why the player avatar doesn't get a fully souped up super wisp gun off the bat You should do the entire game and do it justice
