Sonic Superstars: Fang 101

I was asked by ‪@SonictheHedgehog‬ to make a video talking about Fang, one of my favorite characters, so I gladly obliged. Check him out in Sonic Superstars, available October 17th!

[@MeTheStickman]

[@usb061]

You can tell that it's taking all of Cybershell's mental strength to hold back the dozens of "fucks" he wants to say in this sponsored video for a game rated E.

[@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778]

Yeah, and to not be able to mention SRB2 or Triple Trouble 16 bits versions of fang. Seriously I loved him in both of those fangames.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

I assume a 20 minute long rated R cut coming after the video game comes out.

[@vvx600]

That was exactly what i was feeling

[@Zippy_Zolton]

Or to say the word sniper or talk about ""Nack""

[@ClexYoshi]

yeah, Cybershell towing the corporate line is definitely something that gave me whiplash.

[@batbrain55]

FUN FACT: In the making of this video, Cybershell repeatedly referred to Fang by names that are no longer being used for him, such as "Sniper", despite being asked by SEGA not to. In order to prevent further mistakes, SEGA hired an actual sniper to aim at his head, and told him that the sniper would shoot him if he used the wrong name for Fang again.

To add to this, Fang's original name in development was Nack but they decided to change it in the Japanese version because Nack sounded too similar to the Japanese pronunciation of Knuckles (Na-ku-ru-zu). A contest was held and Fang the Sniper was chosen. In the West they initially revealed him as Jet the Sniper but they went back to Nack and added Weasel even though he was a Jerboa.

[@aneveningwithebola2727]

I wonder if as a mandate for making this video Cybershell was not allowed to say the words “Nack the Weasel” because SEGA wants to keep names consistent across territories in the Sonic series. It’s kinda weird to make a video about Fang and not talk about the name discrepancy. Still very cool that SEGA helped Cybershell make this video though!
