Sonic's Past Moves References in Sonic Frontiers Combat

sonic frontiers combat comes with a fresh and new arsenal of moves to sonic's combat but some of these moves may not be that new...

[@EduardoOliveira-qy1km]

I think Phantom Rush is a reference to Movie Sonic and his ability to multitask at high speed

[@froster1247]

Good point

[@kjagyemang3896]

yeah

[@dahianZSUBS]

I was thinking the same thing

[@UltraSTH]

It’s a reference to the motel scene, I think

[@sonicdml4175]

All versions of Sonic can do that.

[@iproblumanno]

I think 0:55 looks more like exactly the same as quick cyloop. But lmk what ya think. How trail is around the enemy and then they get flown into the air, exactly the same.

[@T41lssDude]

Its looks like the super sonic quick cyloop

[@inyourgrillbrunson9575]

I instantly knew quick cyclop was a reference to the blue tornado move in Sonic heros, same with phantom rushed being referenced to team blast. I use to play Sonic hero's all the time so I definitely recognized the moves when Frontiers was first showcased.

[@gutembergnery7985]

This is cool and I can see where you get these references from and for me personally when Sonic is like kicking his wind 1:07 it's like for me this is Sonic's own version of Chaos Spear

[@Fabchaotix]

the last attack is for me a reference to the tornado he performs in Sonic Heroes

[@brevinedwards9317]

Flashenight You Should do a Knuckle's moveset comparison video in Sonic Frontiers. Knuckle's moveset in Sonic Frontiers are taken from SA1 and SA2.

[@DragonOfTheNorth7799]

These moves are fire!

[@wander7812]

Correction: 1:12 This is a reference to Sonic's air kick in Sonic Battle. Which you did showed here at 2:41 at the end but for the wrong move. Im confused.

[@Shotenga]

So nothing close to Sonic The Fighters?

[@beastalan1007]

Front flip kick, amazing!!!

[@devinsauls9137]

I KNEW IT! Sonic Battle references in Sonic Frontiers

[@refreshingbeverage]

They did what smash couldn’t

[@nachardou.4780]

I'm just gonna say that Phantom Rush looks almost identical to the "Quick Attack" in FFSX6... edit: nvm, watched the video a bit more and it was there lol And also, I think Sonic Boom isn't suppoused to be Sonic Lost World and Advance, instead Advance 2 and Battle, because of the "Sonic Wave" move

[@Itsallgoodman8]

Final fantasy Sonic X6

[@sr.s.a5548]

So if Smash Bros attack is in Sonic Frontiers then we can say that Smash Bros is canon in Sonic Lore?🤔

[@mrcwillis6970]

Kinda are familiar.

[@marcusrichardson3868]

What version pr frontiers dose sonic do the drop kick from sonic battle cause I've tried to do it on the switch version and he doesn't do that kick down

[@LegendiNimator_7598]

You mean the sonic eagle move from Sonic battle?

[@marcusrichardson3868]

@@LegendiNimator_7598 yea that move he doesn't do it in frontiers so is it a mod

I really think you’re stretching with these.

By “References” he just pointing out some good similarities with past game moves. And to think to it that way it rly not stretching it.

[@youtubeprofile9484]

I disagree

[@visionxry]

@@bluz374 most of these aren’t referencing other moves and most of the others are just moves inspired by others like the cyloop and blue tornado or the kick projectile and lost world

True. Best story in handheld Sonic games

[@megapulsar9244]

@@playerback7722 I guess it's not for nothing that this game's story was more loosely adapted in Sonic X, with Emerl as a character in the show.

[@mdcool1867]

Sadly only release on 1 handheld

[@daikio420]

If they ever make a new Ssb, they better overhaul his move set with these attacks

[@SuperPlushBasket]

That downward kick from Sonic Battle reminds me of Mario's forward air. It could become a new down air for Sonic

[@Hugo-yz1vb]

@@SuperPlushBasket A spiking forward air makes more sense to honest and it would feel better to play

[@helio5943]

On god

[@BrandonBattleblade]

@Cliven Soewarna His move set mostly consist of spin dashes you seriously only want a couple of new moves instead of a versatile move set?

[@BrandonBattleblade]

@Cliven Soewarna oh. Yeah that makes sense, That would be awesome

[@joshuadesousa6668]

Phantom Rush definitely should have been referenced to Shadow’s Chaos attack and Chaos snap

[@Alejandro333777]

Except that’s shadow so not the same

[@fress3968]

seems more like the sonic combo special card that you can get in sonic battle

[@Eldoofus]

Unlike Shadow, Sonic isn't teleporting, he's just moving that fast.

[@zenith6854]

Or Lancelots Chaos Punishment

[@fireball9403]

nah it is a reference to movie sonic when he made after images during the motel scene

[@CineTurbo32X]

Wait how do you do the first move from Sonic Battle? I've seen that move in so many Smash fan games and mods.

A Combo launch + press the direction they were launched at + A in the air = sonic eagle

Big stretches...

Beeg beeg stretches

[@OmegaChase1002]

the correct way to put combat in a sonic game.

[@Codyiguess]

More like coincidences except for some of the things on here. Not intentional references I don’t think.

[@spider-cam8414]

I wish these charecters would reference smash in their own games

[@kelving420]

Only "stretch" is the Sonic Heroes light speed attack (could have shown chaos snap from 06), and the last one isnt that similar. But either way, GOOD JOB MAN! Great video!

[@rayjoe8892]

In case you're wondering: NO, doing the Sonic eagle (L stick 👇 during neutral combo) will NOT make the enemy go flying downwards.

[@flaremawile726]

0:48 Honestly I think it also reference a hability Sonic uses in Sonir rush when we fight him a Blaze. except that he doesn't pull his opponent during the attack. So I guess Sonic heroes tornado attack is a bit more accurate

[@beastalan1007]

Frontiers Sonic looks very powerful than Mario!!!

[@ZayZaz]

Sonic is more powerful than Mario

[@supersonicspeedster8096]

1:07 I SWEAR TO GOD THAT IS SONIC WIND AND YOU CANT SAY ANY DIFFERENT SAME GOES FOR 2:30

[@4evaUncooked]

I'm surprised you didn't use light speed attack instead of sonic heroes blast away

[@pantasticalB.I.C]

So that's where sonic got his battle sprites for those flash animations

[@levisjammin]

A lot of this is bogus. If anything, the sonic boom would be a reference do that one move in Sonic Battle where he shoots a projectile. And you act like every move where Sonic spins in a tornado-like fashion is a reference. Sureeee, SEGA made a reference to Sonic ‘06, and a fan game. The only reference in this that could be even remotely true is the first one.

[@4evaUncooked]

Sonic boom definitely came from Sonic battle

[@omegafiremaster283]

I would be very dissapointed if You didnt make any FFSX reference XD

[@amandaslough125]

Honestly, I'd switch the Heroes and 06 references. The Heroes cyclone is way more similar to the later one.

Advanced 2 is a giant stretch 😅

[@Flashenite]

sonic final fantasy x6

[@ajbanimatedstudios5014]

1:10 I honestly thought that was to omage to lost world 3DS replacement for the homing kick. The sonic Shockwave caused by a kick mid air. Used to stun enemies. Edit: ok I realized you showed the clip later in the vid. Nvm lol

The one boss battle reference the fan game final fantasy Sonic X
