0:49 if someone offered me a helping hand but they had this face, i'd let myself fall too. That is a creepy af face.

[@ChameleTwix]

funniest comment I’ve read in a while, good on you, man

[@Iris-so3xd]

Sonic's expression: Get a taste of mercy, loser

[@kellyalexander4881]

I would rather fall

[@kaistudios5536]

@lexander4881 Y'know what they say... _🎶NEVER FEAR THE FALL!🎵_

[@infizer0]

THIS IS SOOOOOO GOOD OH MY GOD. I loveee how you really emphasized with the expressions the sort of "self-righteous" attitude that Surge sees Sonic as having

[@larrsstine-updegraff6796]

Can you blame her i think shadow would have agreed with her. Well at least he not a crybaby moron in sonic prime honestly I think surge and nine would make one hell off a team with kit.

[@piane_e]

I love how Sonic shifts from cocky to genuinely concerned at the end.

[@eeveestarburst4991]

THIS FIGHT WAS MEANT TO BE ANIMATED THIS IS SO CRAZY?????? ALSO TGE EXPRESSIONS ARE SO GOOD I think the way sonic looks REALLY smug sometimes was def how he came off in surge's perspective so that was a really nice detail

[@Hazel_TheOne]

All I want is for the comics to get adapted into an anime that’s all I want I NEED IT

[@remuslebeau6570]

0:30 While Surge's getting tired, Sonic's just warming up.

[@none_tw]

Goddamn, the dragon ball-esque shaking of the scene whenever there's an impact and the disappearing when they're going fast are really satisfying

[@Hyperkoii]

DUDE HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS AN ANIMATIC??? THIS IS A WHOLE ASS ANIMATION GREAT JOB!!!

[@waffielz3106]

ngl i respect not taking his hand, the look on sonic's face was 100% worth

[@hauntorthegiraffebiscuit]

It has been far too long since I picked up one of the IDW comics, and this has done an amazing job reminding me what a fool I was to stop.

[@carso1500]

The IDW comics are awesome

[@maskedknight_0725]

seeing the fight animated like this makes me realize that the reason Surge lost mainly came down to the difference in experience she spends most of the fight chasing Sonic and eating hard counters

[@mattmetawolf8634]

It’s not just down to experience but it’s also down to straight power as well she never had a chance to begin with it’s the same reason why most young fighters like her not only would lose but would still be in that challenger level if sonic probably wasn’t like playing somewhat of a good defense as well as not holding back as much not only would she not be able to tag him she should not be able to really hurt him either but considering she probably did have some level of potential to get a few good hits and it’s not enough to basically put her up there a monks the rest of the heavy hitters of the verse

[@carso1500]

​​@@mattmetawolf8634Sonic did said that Surge is the first person who is able to push him that much in a while and the comics repeat time and time again that Surge IS a Sonic level fighter, she is top tier It ultimately comes out to experience, surge is just far too inexperienced to win against a Sonic that canonically has been fighting eggman and other villains for years ever since he was very little, ultimately most of her defeats come out for inexperience or her getting cocky, using her powers far too much and running out of steam or Sonic coming up with a plan and beating her not with brute force but with inteligence

[@mattmetawolf8634]

@@carso1500 based on that fight I severely doubt it that she was really giving him a true serious fight to say she sonic level I think is a gross overestimated Point on her behalf given that the moment he does get serious he’s basically dragging her she may be a low sonic level but definitely not on Sonic’s level

[@carso1500]

@@mattmetawolf8634 again Sonic himself says that it's been a while since someone has pushed him like that 1v1, but ultimately surge is really inexperienced and really lets her emotions get the better of her It's not over obviously it seems like the story is building her to eventualy have a rematch and being a constant challenge for sonic and co and it's likely that we will see her getting stronger as the story progreses

[@codyraugh6599]

​@@carso1500to both support and counter, we can just look at the exchanges Surge has with all the other characters. Even though it's with that darn cage, she dominated Whisper, and she twice had a legitimate victory against Metal, an assisted one but still a solid victory. This puts her high on the list, but seeing as Sonic's friends list has a greater quantity and quality of powerful fighters, while she's a top 10 Sonic foe in IDW (which includes a lot of games) she's not even close to being a top 10 in the verse. Silver, Blaze, and Shadow would all wipe the flood with her and likely show a LOT less mercy, Knuckles would certainly score a win against her as well because she's predictable, and even the Chaotics are nearing her level... Yeah her arrogance is kinda pathetic when you realize she's trying to replace the guy who stands toe to toe with demi-gods all because he can run fast and pretty much nothing else, no lighting, fire, gravity beams, etc. Also kinda sad that the Sonic Rogues gallery is so empty compared to his friends list, even Mario has a better foe-to-friend ratio for doing these sort of comparisons and for story telling...if the plumber wasn't himself such a difficult main character to make stories with.

[@dank_tomatoes1165]

It's almost a shame no animation studio has thought to adapt the sonic IDW comics. Heard the comic series has been stagnant in sales for a while, think it would benefit from an animated series promoting the source material. This is really good tho, keep it up

[@mattmetawolf8634]

Well that’s the biggest problem no one wants to stick to any form of source material because they don’t want to be chained down to actually committing to a story they did not write because when it comes to most bigwig companies and a bunch of their sensitivity readers and hat writers they would much rather tell whatever story they want and if we’re not talking about those types of people then they’re just gonna wanna create something new anyways just for the sake of it

[@thedarkest9]

This animation brought so much sass that Sonic has been missing into this fight. It might be a bit more than I like, but just having it is really nice to see.

[@sophiadebar382]

I wish the actual fight was like this instead of Sonic being smug the whole time lmao

[@NEAT-0]

LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT!!!!! AAAAAAAAA GREAT WORK! THE EFFORT AND EXPRESSIONS ARE AMAZING 😍 (Why does this give me SUCH sonic OVA vibes WAHAHA)

[@grimmy2313]

I can see why these two are equally matched in speed and strength, Sonic runs like the wind, Surge zooms like electricity.

[@ZamtikIrken]

I'm in LOVE with Sonic's facial expressions, you keep the vibe of the comic so perfect here❤❤❤ What a insane talent, this Is everything ❤❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💚💚

[@WaffleProductionsInMotion]

This makes me want an IDW sonic tv even more! Incredible work!

[@joeybu8152]

Cool animatics like this makes me wish SEGA & Studio Trigger does a Sonic Anime.

[@vavadadeur150]

[@cartoonartistpng]

THIS IS AWESOME!!! They’re so expressive and animated and bouncy and- You did so good, this is amazing 🙌✨👌

[@tragediansdemise5033]

This is done so incredibly well, an amazing animation of a fantastic first meeting!!!

[@SilverDemon04yt]

Incredible work! Never thought I'd see an IDW scene as well animated and played as this!

[@YZaiCreates]

This absolutely rules

[@RayenIDK]

THIS IS SO SICK! Amazing work!

[@Basher.G]

This is the most well animated animatic I've ever seen

[@sopapopp]

THIS IS SO COOL!!! when i saw this fight i thought it'd be really cool to see animated, and i was right! great work on this

[@lmaojustchangedmyname4565]

That. Was. SO GOOD. I can’t even begin to describe how much justice you’ve done Surge, like DAMN. That was GOOD.

[@animationdude9]

0:42 Kid Goku and Jackie Chun would be proud

[@vide0gurt]

Absolutely stellar work!

[@SingingRodents]

This is neat! The expressions and actions are on point

[@marcogonzalez9673]

That was sick, awesome job

[@Ayvee_]

I got the issue (the comic), and I did a side by side comparrison and its exactly how i imagine if it was animated!

[@D-E-F.2018]

FINALY SOMEONE WHO ANIMATES THIS FIGHT ITS INCREDIBLE‼️‼️‼️🗣

[@C_LT_Classic]

Holy CRAP this is Amazing!!

[@martsuha]

The action and movement of this animatic is so fucking good! Wow I was excited on my toes. the whole time watching it!

[@hanae7385]

WHART!??!?!?! THAT WAS SO GOOD???? WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE VIEWS????

[@richieosborn2639]

Well at least Starline broke one part of the Sonic Cycle: Sonic losing to a rival on his first bout, but defeating them the very next time.

[@dreamyokai]

0:37 I caught that Saiyan Saga reference.

[@valmid5069]

Can’t wait for more hilarious animated content!!!

[@all-starcustoms8554]

THIS IS SO COOL DUDE!!

[@evelyn7965]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! AWESOME JOB!!!!

[@howdyfolks07]

[@alexanderrendla4148]

[@Estefi-doodles]

[@GrinPaint]

[@gabyvalle]

Soooo cooool! Osea super chida tu animación!! Un par de gestos diferentes a los que recuerdo pero todo genial!

[@jojonono2679]

Great work

[@zaidtate4093]

Incredible 👏🏾👏🏾

[@SonicRiders]

Excellent.

[@smugbowkid9919]

They’re so cool, great rivals!

[@inkchariot6147]

Calling Surge a rival to Sonic? That's hilarious.

[@Jverbro]

Rivals?

[@Gettingsillyhere]

Crazy epic 💯💯

[@Allplussomeminus]

If animators are willing to work less, I'm down for more of this. I love that sketchy, incomplete look.

[@dragonkidofhearts]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ THIS IS SO GOOD DUDE. I LOVE THIS!!

[@nexogacha6109]

That glance sonic did at the end only says "how regretable" same glance as goku when defeated freezer first time

[@NoHandle44]

Peak. Absolutly *PEAK!*

[@boilingmilk9591]

SO GOOOOOOD

[@lr-]

Very cool

[@Bliffenstimmers]

THIS IS SO DOPE

[@shroomer8294]

Sega: >could make a cool shonin style anime with cool fight scenes so both younger and older fans would enjoy it >makes a 3 season cgi show instead that builds on none of the lore hardcore fans actually want to see

[@timtam3730]

I love this I'm obsessed :333333333333333333333333333333333

[@kab6754]

So cool

[@jeremy1860]

I know she'll never get into any games or shows, but if they ever gave her a voice, I think Cree Summer would make for a great Surge 😊

[@SinaxCorp.]

Buenisimo

[@chidaluokoro9104]

Needs more views

[@locusruizlopez5997]

nice

[@chobispider2178]

You cooked ngl

[@Aleksei-y_Aleks]

Amazing work but Sonic wasn't even trying, he was just playing with her

[@TheAnimatedWonders]

This is really well animatic'd! I make Sonic and Surge animations too from time to time, we could collab! :)

[@zombifiedpariah7392]

I love your style! Do you do commissions?

[@christmasdespacito2505]

im not gonna lie this is fuckin sick dude wayy past cool XD

[@DeltaBlazin]

Bruh I need a Sonic Adventure 2 type game that goes over the story of Surge and Kitsunami.

[@user-cq2tq4mi4r]

0:40 damn from the comic

[@boychear_]

It would be nice around 2015

[@tailsthefox432]

0:58 is so me

[@antoniocouceironeto483]

Finalmente uma luta deles se movendo.

[@AngelCastilloCas]

OHH

[@blackmanwithcomputer]

So I'm guessing that Sonic got his own Grimmjow equivalent?

[@anthonyrodriguez8788]

That depends, whats Grimmjow like? Surge's whole deal is that she was a teenager kidnapped by a mad scientist with an obsession with Eggman and he brainwashed her and enhanced her with cybernetics to make Surge the ultimate Sonic killing machine and eventual replacement. Surge eventually found out about all the brainwashing and surgeries among other horrible things done to her and her response can be summed up as "screw Sonic, screw Eggman, screw everybody!"

[@MegaT.Hedgehog]

.O.

[@Tyrique-fn3kv]

Spinel vs steven vibes

[@frickerrific2813]

Better than the actual comic since there’s no yapping

[@nightmaredarcy572]

Hi, can i use this for a fangame ? I'll give credits obviously

[@brobexx]

I would prefer if you didn’t, thank you

[@yellowfire21]

0:56 0:18

[@sneakly-shadowly-rat5049]

Sorry if you get a lot of comments like this but can you make a full animation like this plz.

[@user-cb1tv5xh1r]

おはよう(=゜ω゜)ﾉ

[@unex.the.]

Yo where Sonic’s faces this cocky in the comic too?

[@anthonyrodriguez8788]

Not exactly this cocky but he did have this smug almost holier than thou smirk whenever he talked to Surge. Needless to say that attitude really bit him in the ass after this fight.

[@AHatFloatingInTime]

Nah cuz how u losing to a thing with weird hair but you beat multiple universal threats before

[@anthonyrodriguez8788]

Same reason Sonic has trouble with a robot with a jet turbine in its chest. She's fast and strong.

[@comicbookreviewer4856]

What we Now is Michaela Dietz to voice Surge and we have the perfect voice for Her as I do see Amethyst as a dark counterpart to Surge

[@actionman9451]

"You might know everything I'm going to do but that's not gonna help you because I know everything YOU'RE going to do! STRANGE, ISN'T IT?"

[@Potatoboii2]

needs splatoon music

[@ThePerceptivision]

do an exe :o

[@kevinjeffreys967]

I think tails can solo (not the coward game version, im talking about MILES PROWER)

[@jasoneclipse7828]

wait..since it is shown that surge is wearing a full set of clothes...is sonic and his friends besides amy just....nudists?..like..is it canon that they fight eggman without clothes?

[@Jverbro]

We all knew sonic wasn’t trying

[@skarletserian5234]

Honestly i think surge should've won that fight

[@toonking1640]

Tails vs Kit,Tails vs Kit🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@fraisevampire]

Bro are you flirting with my sister ?

[@Clutch-artist]

He absolutely could’ve caught her zero diff

[@sageslayers9670]

Sonic was NOT and I repeat NOT having that much trouble

[@jadenlinton]

wait till he turned to sonice exe

[@FlawsEpochalypse]

And then they kiss

[@mrSlippinidiot]

Love the music, is it from the rush games?
