This spindash has made 2D a lot more fun and fast paced now FINALLY

[@sonicovertime]

I get some serious Sonic Infinity Engine vibes lol. The Spin Dash by itself isn't that overpowered but the fact you can go into max speed with the No Air Deceleration is what really makes it crazy. Overpowered as heck but it does make Cyberspace waay more enjoyable to play.

[@aydenthehedgefox9592]

im waiting for the 20 second 1-2 Speedrun

[@luan5226]

I love the spindash in frontiers, it's almost like forces now because you can finish levels in seconds, but this time it's fun and requires skill to do

[@JakeNazzaro]

Wow 40 seconds on 2-6 that is a nice speedrun.

[@masterdails]

Spindash is gonna make speedruns change drastically for sure

[@Miaou98]

For NG+ or 100% category yes, but sadly we won't get to see it used in any % since it's only obtainable if you get to Ouranos :( (((the momentum changes will still change everything though so it's still great)))

[@JDWLegoLegendsYT]

What about the new game+ huh?😏

[@thomasmogford6095]

That's what I have been thinking about Since Seeing how Broken the Spin Dash Is

[@thomasmogford6095]

​@JDWLegoLegends2023 by making a new save you can carry over your stats from a completed file

[@Alexmaquina2023]

@@thomasmogford6095But it is in Extreme, the stats aren’t carry over

[@Faceu7745]

The fact that you can triple jump out of a spindash too... Sonic team cooked.

[@b.a.g-gomez2610]

Excellent speed platforming, Overtime! I hope they bring back the Spin Dash in the next 3D game from the get-go!

[@ultimate8948]

Cyberspace is so much fun with this move, I enjoyed it before but now these stages are MUCH better! This and the jump deceleration single handedly changed the game for speedrunning frontiers.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah! Just a shame they added those asterisks as if you're meant to play with the inferior controls. XD Just gotta ignore them when going for the best times cause I doubt anyone's really time attacking with default settings anymore.

[@walteranurantha5014]

The way you mastered your, magnet dashes, spindashes and decelerated momentum jumps is starting to look like an early gameplay leak of Sonic Adventure 3! Sonic Team should implement this type of gameplay in the next sonic game moving forward. Just saying;)

[@sonicovertime]

lol you really do get the Adventure speedrun vibes with the way the spin dash is. I'm not a huge fan of the magnet dash, especially with how it can be used vertically to really obliterate some levels, outside of that though I like the rest of the mechanics.

[@walteranurantha5014]

​@@sonicovertimeIt's so fascinating that ST finally brings back the SA momentum formula that they've abandoned in 06. What a redemption arc, Izuka.

[@thatitalianlameguy2235]

​@@sonicovertimethe spindash does the same tho. You can easily jump over everything with it. Crazy thing to say, but sonic should be made slower than his lv 99 speed in the next game or the levels larger, because everything is broken too easily.

[@sonicovertime]

@thatitalianlameguy2235 Spin dash should be nerfed yes, well it just needs air deceleration really. Having the option to have zero is fun but way to broken. Homing dash still is better than the rest though as it can shoot you into the sky. Also it's just more tedious to perform so I'm not a fan as much

[@GunFeverr]

They really abandoned and curbstomped the SA gameplay in that one despite its attempts to appear like another SA game, the spindash in that game is horrific to use especially with the way you can’t jump out of it

[@ryandunham1047]

If it wasn’t Cyberspace, I can imagine Sonic just smirking at the pilots and drivers of those GUN vehicles as he speeds away. 😂

[@tino9117]

Gotta love seeing the camera actively fight you when you break sequence

[@luislebronaponte2737]

Omg in that 1st one he legit has all the asterists, I think. Wow. Used every trick in the book.

[@thetruemarioandsonicfanboy]

Not only is spin Dash the very useful tool in every Sonic game since Sonic the Hedgehog 2 but boost is also the very useful tool in every Sonic games too since sonic rush oh yeah by the way what is Sonic wearing on his head looks like a special gold crown is that another free DLC costume. 💙🦔💙

[@ultimate8948]

The crown is for 100% completing all islands. Called the Frontier Elite

[@thetruemarioandsonicfanboy]

@@ultimate8948 wow that sounds really cool and awesome also sonic looks very smart wearing that gold crown on his head. 💙🦔💙

[@Zanzuki93]

Cyberspace Spin dashing is a lot of fun and using it alongside the homing dash is pretty satisfying on top of being able to modify some of the physics and you going zooming through levels.

[@ryandunham1047]

Add in the power boost and you basically get Unleashed type speed. 😂

[@GunFeverr]

Anyone who spent years defending the boost games and talking down elements of the SA style gameplay people really wanted to see in Frontiers are panicking at the return of jump momentum conservation and the spindash and specifically the godlike SA1 style spindash, they cant handle the idea of movement options like this that let you bend the game to your will without it being absurd and obtuse as the tricks in the boost games like -m-speed, hell they probably even hate that it’s possible to jump through loops to skip them now.

[@Channelgone-g6p]

This changed the game spin dash is broken

[@ryandunham1047]

This is proof that boost and momentum CAN in fact co-exist in the same Sonic game! ;)

[@leezy346]

"Boost is better than Spindash" said many Sonic fans

[@ryandunham1047]

Personally, I think both can coexist if the boost is treated as a reward for skilled gameplay. At that point, it’s about maintaining your boost using momentum and the level design to your advantage, and also regaining it once you use it up.

[@reebalamaka]

Everyone: this is the best exploit ever. Me: finaly, he's one with the wind.

[@ryandunham1047]

Yeah, cause he’s the KNIGHT OF THE WIND! 😂

[@CharlieCreedonWells]

Yo, that run on 4-4 was NUTTY. I’m gonna try changing up my route!😊

[@DLxxx]

These are some of the most bizzare and broken looking skips I've ever seen, lol.

[@shaanawilson1051]

I like ur speedrun💨

[@thaddayyus]

THIS IS PEAK OMG

[@mimictear6788]

Lore Accurate Sonic.

[@dannynicholson6014]

That first speed run was godly

[@anch5399]

HE’S THE FASTEST THING ALIVE!

[@beastalan1007]

They made Sonic even more overpowered and broken!!

[@VongolaXZax]

Now watching a friend's video, is definitely something to do on my birthday lol.

[@sonicovertime]

Happy Birthday! :) Hope you enjoy, this video I went all out.

[@The_Shadow321]

​@sonicovertime *Sorry Master King Looks Like I'm Going All After All*

[@ar7hur06]

People say it breaks the game, but like, surface level you're only gomna be using that to fly off a ramp on cyberspace and going actually fast on 2D. It really breaks the game when you actually try and learn the routing, and it makes for really high skill ceiling, something that pre-update cyberspace lacked.

[@Moettke]

как только будет Тейлз - сразу куплю игру, а вообще хотелось бы кооператив

[@sonic-kingjojo]

Spindash made this game look too easy. Thanks for the tip man

[@gengargamer5657]

I love this version of it so much

[@kingabsalon21]

I hope to see more of this.🙌

[@kao7143]

i dont use power boost cuz the turning sucks but spindash and forward momentum goes crazy they're great for even just playing the levels casually

[@GespenstType-0]

What do those four asterisks beside the stage time mean?

[@PaintraSeaPea]

Gray = Homing Dash Red = Spin Dash Gold = Jump momentum Blue = Powerboost Basically a way the game marks if you use abilities that were unintended/added post-launch

[@Unleashed645]

My heart feels good with the new update 😌💕

[@user-fy9kq5ed1m]

This is the most balanced skill I ever seen.

[@MasterCoolPlayer56]

Bro goin TAS mode 😱 😭

[@marcxworld5708]

I seriously dont get how you put up with the camera when doing this, like i just cant wrap my head aroung it, but good runs

[@shaunathenicehedgehog6740]

*Wow! Cool!*

[@turbog2217]

Ay bro what do you have your physic sliders set to ?

[@A_Guy_With_A_Girl_pfp]

Balanced? I sense sarcasm

[@lowhp_comic]

We can use the spring _without using the spring_

[@Yoshistar238]

This is crazy af.

[@notasquiremario3299]

this looks so cool but i don't wanna do those stupid challenges to get the spindash😩

[@donovanmancia5421]

The spin dash is so balanced ( what in the world)

[@traktor420]

How do you stay in a ball for so long after jumping? For me sonic always uncurls and loses his speed

[@sonicovertime]

Sonic stays curled as long as you hold the jump button. Same goes for double jump.

[@randomd00d19]

Wow. 1-2 is far more feasible now 🤣🤣

[@Xxblade17]

Very balanced

[@rodsgaming]

I wonder how this will change speed running

[@Yoshistar238]

0:00 ... what did he just do?

[@donovanmancia5421]

One Question: does the spin dash really wastes your boost bar that fast

[@DJULTRA-uk3nr]

The amount of hours this must have took 💀

[@thaddayyus]

how do you get the crown again? i forgor

[@BevinEG]

Gyat

[@davidgrange8182]

H-HOW???

[@VelocityHog]

Spin dash is literally like M Speed and D Speed in a good way

[@rigorgrynn4469]

Honestly wish it wasnt an unlock.
