Sonic Forces: Speed Battle - Darkspine Sonic Gameplay Showcase

[@SonicWindBlue]

Hey, everyone! This is an early gameplay showcase of Darkspine Sonic. His event starts on September 15th and runs until September 27th.

Darkspine Sonic looks so cool! I can’t wait to get him this Friday! I also can’t wait for Mephilis The Dark coming in October and Super Shadow coming in November!

[@Starfall_abyss]

I'm actaully excited for darkspine more than being excited for super shadow and mephiles I think cuz mephiles and super shadow are like after 1-2 months, also darkspine is a lot more powerful than both of them maybe that's why

[@Starfall_abyss]

a question, 3 things should have made darkspine sonic cooler, when he boost or use dashpad why doesn't he fly? when transforming into darkspine why there is no 3 world rings, using the speed break there is no flight and one good thing the speed break is that he doesn't actaully slow down like what they said

[@Starfall_abyss]

also forgot did you realized the stats are different? the acceleration is better and that's good but the strength was 8/10 it was really good but now it's 6/10? what is wrong with hardlight Darkspine is a lot better than this!

[@Didyxxz]

@@Starfall_abyss true, i wish the strength was still 8, would’ve added better resistance to attacks

[@ATHBizarre]

Isn’t it 4 world rings? ( I know there are 7 in total but darkspine uses 4)

not next infinite but yeah he is too similar to infinite cuz of his slow burn and his speed break lvl up

His attacks are like Silver Nutcraker +Infinite because it takes a few seconds to spam and the boost is really OP!He's a good character,but I expected more from his first attack!8.5/10 (because of the slow attack)

[@Nonxistent_J]

Wow his attacks are amazing! The only thing that kinda bothers me is the boost. It’s too long & too fast. Especially for a lv. 1. I’m still looking forward to him tho! EDIT: Nvm the damage will only increase when he levels up but still, it wouldn’t hurt for his boost to get a nerf

[@sirz9985]

they could make it so he actually slows down at the start of it thats my idea at least

[@Starfall_abyss]

well I think if speed break got like 5% reduced then it's fine to me cuz speed break isn't op but it's super fast so it makes it hard to dodge things and control him

[@rossjones8656]

[@xKazeNoKishi]

His boost seems to be the only thing worth while on him. His attacks slow you down so heavily that it’s not even worth using them unless you’re mid-dash.

I realized when he attacks, he slows down for 1-2 seconds

[@Starfall_abyss]

a lot of people are questioning why darkspine cannot fly, now for me I had a theory from a while ago, I think darkspine can only fly when the stories and fate of all creatures are getting rewrited Idk but we never saw darkspine sonic in the normal world so maybe darkspine sonic can't actaully fly in normal times but can fly while the stories are getting rewrited.

@@RAGEINDIGO yea

@@RAGEINDIGO but don't forget stats are suppose to be better I mean darkspine sonic is faster than just 9/10 speed and every item he use he get's slower for like 2-4 seconds, his slow burn can't get through walls unlike reality warp, gathered flame is nothing similar to infinite's deadly repilca, so I think he is balanced.

[@TheUltimateLifeFormS17]

The only thing that people or maybe people hate is using the fire attacks slows darkspine Sonic cause fire is his energy right but the boost is strong lol

[@gxitch4714]

What are my thoughts on darkspine after watching this video: To start it off, I think there were a couple bugs in this video where he would randomly slow down. But obviously since he hadn’t been fully released yet. His design is nice, I like it and I like his transforming animation. i like his stats, they are balanced. I like how his items start off slow and then go quickly. This makes it so gathered flame is harder to use that whirlwind wallop since you have to time it a bit more. I didn’t see the attack have any sort of badnik destruction, so I’m not 100% sure if they can destroy badniks. Slow burn seems like wipeout and it doesn’t go through walls like reality warp which is good. However you get 3 lane width at level 1 making it better. I think Slow burn is more projectile like rather than gathered flame. So I’m getting so confused seeing a 3 lane attack in the trap spot. When every other 3 lane attack isn’t 😭 Overall I like the character but I’m not gonna whale on him. The boost is a little bit too much of a problem for me. If it’s gonna be that fast and long it should atleast have a (20 maximum) ring drain to compensate. Other than that I think he will be an A to S tier character

[@Starfall_abyss]

stats balanced? he's strength is 6 which it was better when it was 8 for acceleration yeah it is balanced, for speed no difference just 1- lol, for speed break I think it gives invinciblity? Idk cuz I never saw him get hit while using speed break and he also destroyed 2 badniks with it without jumping or sliding, for the animation transforming it looks cool yeah but I thought they will show the 3 rage, hatred and sadness world rings in the animation, for the projectiles and traps I think they are perfectly balanced for getting slower it's not a bug I think, I think when he uses an item he slows down so he could power up

[@SpryzorNk]

Imo he's balanced. Maybe his boost is a problem, that's probably the most broken tool he has, but it's not that BROKEN...And I'm pretty sure It'll get nerfed

[@darkmonty666]

@@SpryzorNk it has just damage increase so maybe not getting nerfed

[@SpryzorNk]

@@darkmonty666 yep, that's why I'm saying It's not THAT Broken...but maybe they'll nerf it's duration or the speed Itself a bit. And even if they don't, that's fine We'll see

[@mcbigneigames]

.It's not, it slows down because it uses all its energies to release the power, it's in the sonic forces mobile notification, in the news icon.

[@MaybeTerrance]

Wow the attacks

[@arielcastro582]

im back to the video after get darkspine and play a lot, well i only can say this darkspine its perfect its not for spammers, its fun, a new playstyle and it feels fresh compared to the a lot of charecters in the rooster, but idk the gathered flame need some fixes its good yeah but i feel its simple every time when i need attack its more efficent the slow burn only in specific moment gathered flame its better. in think can be better if the gathered flame change to something similar like lava bomb.
