Sonic the Fighters Will Never Be The Same

Sonic the Fighters' community has released a mod to the game that could change the game forever. Here's a quick video going over some of those changes.
Still working on some bigger stuff, but I had to make a video after this update!

I hope a "Nerfed" Super Sonic is made playable eventually. He's the one character we're missing out of the normally playable roster.

[@Cutzerella03]

Yeaaa :) would be funny if rocket metal was someone playable one day too lol and robo eggman

[@onthedre]

A super sonic skin would also bang

[@Cutzerella03]

@@onthedre true fr ong ^^^

[@KiraSlith]

@@Cutzerella03 Rocket Metal is technically a character, as well as the egg robot used in the same cutscene, and the UFO, and they all have moves assigned by default (kind of, it's complicated), but they're all very buggy. Rocket Metal in particular will clip himself out of bounds under certain circumstances. Problem is, fixing them means breaking the attract screen, potentially permanently.

[@Cutzerella03]

@@KiraSlith yea it's not something that would happen anytime soon, at most maybe a skin resembling them or something*

[@Kelps.mp4]

Seeing what Eggman did to Starline in IDW, people should fear the massive potential of Leggman.

[@GlitchanBlack]

People will now know the STANDO POWAH of Leggman.

[@TARDISES]

Dude's considered a power type for good reasons. See also him smashing that ice wall in Lost World for a mainline game example.

[@pantyosashu8137]

Yeah Eggman can throw hands if he so chooses to.

[@tryan0]

Dr. Roglocknic

[@segahatty]

Robotnik has had enough and decided to take matters into his own hands...literally.

[@VicerimusMortem]

idk bro, he's kinda like akiyama rn..

[@wesshiflet2214]

into his own feet

[@adamnakamura8003]

We gotta remember that this dude manhandled Starline in the comics. It even looks like the throw here.

[@topazpikmin9810]

*Robotonic

[@saltyralts]

Legman gaming.

[@wusstunes]

My Leggman is so nasty.

[@aegisScale]

I am the LEG MAN (you know I am)

[@ssg-eggunner]

i'd fr become a legman main

[@LnnyOsoTo]

Its really cool that this was made but we've GOT to move away from using discord as a file sharing system and get these files widely distributed.

[@TheDerpyDolphin]

Agreed. Stuff like this is the only reason I even have a Discord account

[@LiliumOrientalis]

It's ridiculous how many communities do this, god forbid mods appear on a search engine 🙄

[@theinternetsworst7860]

Like, just put it on gamebanana or something bro

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

If nothing else for good archiving. All these files are one tantrum away from just being gone forever unless someone puts them somewhere else

[@countchocula1250]

I believe they are trying to make a game banana page for it so hopefully that is done soon but yeah, every comment here still holds true

[@TheEverythingEnthuiast]

having Mechless Eggman be playable is so funny to me. it's like having exclusively a Stand in HFTF

[@hi-i-am-atan]

the funny thing is, there _is_ a stand-only character in hftf, being perhaps unsurprisingly death 13 you just don't hear about it much since, like eggman, it's a story mode-only boss character

[@mouthwide0pen]

​@@hi-i-am-atan And UNLIKE Eggman, turning him properly playable would be nigh impossible iirc.

[@TheEverythingEnthuiast]

@@hi-i-am-atan i think Death 13 was a scrapped character left in the code

[@dariogonzalez8989]

@@TheEverythingEnthuiast Death 13 can be fought in HFTF's single player as a secret mid-boss, but there's no way to use him without a hack.

[@TheEverythingEnthuiast]

@@dariogonzalez8989 ah

[@GoodlyData86596]

I think knuckles sidestep getting stronger the more battered he is, is something really cool that fits his character in the games as he can be a bit of a berserker when things get really tough.

[@dakotall.178]

I love how Eggman uses his cloning ray to create more Eggmen

[@microcomputermaster]

MY OWN CLONE

technically canon too, at least in some continuities

You're an eggman, I'm an eggman, we are all eggmen.

[@gnardawgyt]

This goes crazy actually, kudos to the StF community for what sounds like a very forward thinking update to the game

[@hedgethewedge]

Leggman honestly has so much potential it's not even funny

[@iheartbacon76]

FINALLY! The Metal curse has been lifted. Now it's time to welcome our messiah, Metal Sonic!

[@SeonilKim-ry5lj]

Mechless Eggman reminds me of one of the scenes in Sonic OVA where Eggman plays a fighting game as himself.

[@buzzybola]

Eggmanchads, we're coming home...

[@maverick5169]

Let's be real, Eggman doesn't' need mechs, he can break ice walls with his hands

[@ConcavePgons]

He can topple cars over with his own body!

[@cyxceven]

Another download holed up in an unarchiveable Discord? Come on, man. Please tell me the devs are smart enough to upload it to file hosts on the clearnet. Some place like github would be great. There's always a risk of these fan patches becoming lost media if the server gets nuked.

[@millerwrightt]

Love the usage of the network transmission soundtrack. Really underrated

[@SerpiaXerma]

If Metal Sonic has a million fans, then I am one of them If Metal Sonic has ten fans, then I am one of them If Metal Sonic has only one fan then that is me If Metal Sonic has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth If the world is against Metal Sonic, then I am against the world WELCOME BACK METAL SONIC

[@waffloesh7862]

Yoo legal Eggman?? I became rlly interested in the character after the short doc u put out on him I might actually try the game out and play w some friends now LOL

[@wusstunes]

two legal eggmans!

[@Cutzerella03]

This is gonna be fun

[@gaming_bigfoot]

Am I missing something? Why are so many projects locking themselves behind Discords nowadays?

[@mechadeka]

Zoomers can't internet correctly.

[@baggelissonic]

It's much much easier. Plus, if you really want to play this game competitively in any way, you will need to be in the server to know about the tournaments and find people to play with either way.

[@hi-i-am-atan]

in addition to the above two, people who do passion projects for fairly obscure 28yo games tend to be broke as shit

[@wusstunes]

it was developed on the discord server. I don’t think it’s too deep.

[@bb010g]

​@@hi-i-am-atanThe Internet Archive is free.

[@angelriverasantana7755]

I wonder if Honey could get a rework, like adding cut moves and making her function more like her Fighting Vipers counterpart

[@adamnakamura8003]

Omg! Yes! Please!

[@nermomi]

thank you legman you saved my marriage

[@spunchbop421]

Finally i can play as legman lets gooooooo

[@ice_cube8302]

StF For evo now? Wow its finally happening. We've been waiting since forever but I'm glad StF will make it to main stage. It deserves it. One of the greatest games of all history.

[@IAmTheEggman_366]

MECHLESS EGGMAN IS TOO POWERFUL WE CANT STOP HIM.

[@Skibster-w9l]

Sonic:hold my chili dog

[@macuma5533]

This eggman pulling the IDW moves

[@GlitchanBlack]

Only complaint is that download for the patch is locked behind Discord… which I can no longer go on… for reasons involving internet safety. Happy for all the people who can play it, though.

[@Eldoofus]

When custom skins become a possibility, they better add Egg Robo on the cloning device for Eggman dittos.

[@AndresinReal]

Can't wait for them to mod Shadow in the game

[@adamnakamura8003]

And make him slightly taller, since he’s modern!

[@LSJ4Y]

Bro your videos are so good at explaining all of this..SUCH INCREDIBLE SONIC THE FIGHTERS LORE

[@illford]

I will only play this game if Rocket Metal becomes a thing it is one of my favourite designs

[@TARDISES]

Perhaps that's Metal's mirror match skin, the way other unused model data was used for the Eggmen mirror skins?

[@TheBoneHeadClan]

Thanks for making this video, I never knew about this!

[@Sonicjan]

I'd love to see a Sega Saturn port of this game made by fans one day. Would fit so much, especially alongside Fighters Megamix!

[@wafflemastah38]

3:09 made me jump yo I thought someone behind me called me😭 Hype ass update though

[@ERRORDownBad]

I cant wait for people to go as far as to modding completely new movesets into this game

[@baer5137]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW WUSSTUNES JUST DROPPED!

[@drstclair]

KZbin random suggested this and now I know Sonic the Fighters has tournaments, communities, and a 2024 balance patch.

[@kirbymario2633]

part of me feels weird about ketchup damage being removed and metal sonic and mech eggman being custom characters at this point, but I’m excited to see what comes out of this

[@RetroRynn]

Great to see this game getting attention! I hope they add in Rocket Metal soon. He was a favorite of mine and I played as him a LOT in the Arcade romhacks.

[@TDRR_Gamez]

Eggman just throwing hands is too fun, I can't

[@harryenchiladas8826]

I hear "Sonic The Fighters modding community" and I'm like "uhh?!". Honestly, I didn't think it would happen. It would also be interesting to be able to change the AI of the base game, using basic movements from the competitive mode and making it more competent

[@BillehBawb]

okay so rocket metal when

[@mushroomfusion245]

I’d love to see more characters added to the game in the future with this patch! Maybe the rest of the Chaotix for example?

[@zachstarattack7320]

I always wanted to see a breakdown on metal Sonic. psycho crusher looks really cool and I wanted to understand what he does

[@dragonick2947]

Got to wonder why he bothers with all the machinery when Eggman's perfectly capable of holding his own in a 1-v-1.

[@SashaSkarmory]

Leggman is the greatest thing I have ever witnessed

[@saturnbuddy]

I didn't know there was an entire community for Sonic The Fighters! Awesome!

[@mateushenriquepinheiro3197]

I hope that in the future we get other classic characters like Mighty, Ray, Vector and Charmy

[@MrZongalito]

Cant wait to see mighty and ray joining

[@suzuya0]

this is hella nostalgic. i would grind this game in chuck-e-cheese as a child. it's where my love for fighting games started. love that its still being played

[@frozen_applejuice]

idk how to feel about Ketchup removal, it's kind of a whole part of the game

[@8bitdiedie]

Yeah I understand its considered anti-competitive or whatever, but at the same time it’s part of the game’s identity and always kept games unpredictable and interesting.

[@hi-i-am-atan]

based on the context, i have to wonder if turning it off is common practice for offline tournaments ( such as they are ) played on ps3, and the core of the change is really just achieving parity between online play and the main competitive ruleset alternatively, it might be more of an experimental change than anything, since it lets the entire community test the removal and feel out of it's better, worse, or would perhaps be better implemented as a weakening of ketchup's effects rather than a wholesale removal

[@danyo5786]

I mean you could already turn it off before in the past anyway in offline matches so it's not that important to the game anyway

[@theobserver4214]

It was already a toggle on the Arcade version anyways, by changing the damage option to Real.

[@Excellsion]

*L E G M A N*

[@SpectroliteDS]

Wonder if they made Rocket Metal a Mirror match skin for Metal, or if he's gonna be turned into his own character (he DOES have his own name graphic after all)

[@KazeShikamaru]

I may actually try this out. I hope it isn't too hard to run.

[@Lunchbillion]

This is so hype!! What an accomplishment! Long live Sonic the Fighters!

[@royaldayz18]

If Mechless Eggman is possible, I hope they can make Rocket Metal playable as well (though I don't know what you'd do with him?)

[@KOTEBANAROT]

Why, a knuckles clone, of course :)

[@TimeLierG]

Cool stuff.

[@Nootathotep]

Now we need the rest of the hidden characters

[@GuileWinQuote]

Wtf!!!!!

[@heitorsant1759]

I hope metal's alt is rocket metal

[@pockystyx4087]

I would love to see them put in “classic” versions of newer characters, I’d love to see someone like Blaze or Vector rocking up in the ring.

[@spleenikfan158]

this is so awesoe...

[@nonsugarnoki]

Does anyone else think of Street Tech Formula when they hear STF?

[@commandantbinou6939]

Legal mechless eggman? Lesssgoooo

[@Mazwithnoketchup]

I hope Eggman's Robot becomes a playable character I kinda like his design

Wish someone would do this to fighting vipers' ps3 version, too. Big Mahler is a lot of fun.

[@loveandpeace3345]

Nice Network Transmission music

[@sham_noway]

this is so cool

[@lobbynotlob]

mechless eggman should be called Robotnik

[@jakegooldverschoylewhelan8982]

All we waiting on is rocket metal

[@CrapMyHat]

Would be cool now that Eggman is playable and has some similar Knuckles properties to him that Honey finally got a more unique moveset and her hearteyes attack back.

[@revoblam7975]

whats the song that plays through the video? its good

[@kitestar]

Guess we shouldn’t…skip legman day 😂

[@AshoreNevermore]

They turned off ketchup but not mustard???? 💀 I bet Leggman made this, himself.

[@tlst94]

What if STF had more playable characters in its original release? As in: Mighty, Ray, Charmy, Vector, Honey, various Eggman and Metal Sonic versions, the background robots, and everyone gets a Super & Hyper Form? And if both Japanese & English voices were available? And alternate story endings if the bad guys win?

[@kellymountain]

i have a real PS3 with stf installed, is it also possible to use that to play community edition?

[@greenknight9000]

I'd love to see what they can do with Super Sonic. Maybe if very specific conditions are met in a match, Sonic can transform into Super Sonic - he loses health over time (like the traditional ring-drain mechanic) and maybe you can still chip away his health, but he doesn't have any hitstun for most attacks.

[@incognitiosaystransrights]

thats probably beyond the scope of what would be practical

[@greenknight9000]

Ahhh fair enough. I at least hope that Super Sonic retains some of his power when they have to nerf him, so he's different from Sonic

[@Late-Night-Venom]

praying for a mac port

[@DanielGriffiths]

Based Yousuke Yasui music

[@ShoshoDupers]

are super sonic and rocket metal going to be made playable and balanced too?

[@Arcad3n]

[@ameristaa6687]

Would it be possible at some point to mod in custom fighters? This game is super cool and it would be sick to have an extended roster!

[@wusstunes]

there are talks about it. for now, theres still more work to be done to figure out exactly where the game stores stuff and how it works, and to make metal a bit more fair.

[@naerolf09]

mech man and leg man 🥶

[@EngyneMac]

0/10 mod. RoboEgg doesn't have its iconic head. Jk i always wondered if the STF comp scene would even want a mod that fixes and ads new characters. Now that this is out im exited to see Eggman solo Sonic with just his pointy feet.

[@retrac1999]

Alright, thats the last thing holding me up from giving this game a shot patched out. Time to get into this game.
