"I would like... Sonic fighting." "With Shadow? How original." "No, with Knuckles." "Daring today, aren't we?"

Me: But why are they fighting ? Tails: Knuckles ate Sonic’s chili dog.

[@thevioletskull8158]

Omg

[@TimmyTheTinman]

Checks out. But somebody has to try to get Sonic off his chili dog addiction

[@aydenthehedgefox9592]

nah, knuckles is mad he didnt get in smash and ended up as an assist.

I remember watching it back in the day, man this animation aged so well, is amazing even all those years after the original release, my favourite of them all!

[@Gray_V0]

YES-

[@silasjones5956]

This is the original one ?

[@raiku2d835]

I like the way the animator adds all their abilities, movements, and attacks from other games.

[@ant445]

This is waaay more smooth than I remember, gg.

[@viciosgamer6930]

Pretty sure it was always like this its one of the best

[@mario-main5540]

It was made earlier than 2013 btw

[@ibraheemali7028]

Mario-main considering how smooth the animation is and how in model the art is aswell as the music in background being timed with the animation it's way ahead of it's time.

[@UndeadGhostGirl]

You know shit's getting serious when Knuckles starts spinning.

[@reven8683]

The classic "Leo Vs. Ralph" of Sega! Will still miss you Roger!

Major respects to roger also i thought i was the only one who made that comparison lol tmnt sonic i guess is like a layed back version of leo kinda like in RISE

I was still in school when this came out, I remember watching it when it just released, this animation held up well to time, the choreography is still mindblowing for a flash animation

[@lancejones9838]

I also like how it flashes back to the last time they fought like foes friends and back to foes

Ah nostalgia. This animation was (and still is) really well done. I would love to see if someone would do a remaster of it.

[@manoelaraujo4639]

This animation doesn't EVEN need a remaster because it's already too well made

[@RandomYTUser0]

This animation is so underrated!

[@paulo547]

So true, the animation is smooth.

[@viciosgamer6930]

Absolutely

[@LITTLE1994]

Yup.

[@silasjones5956]

Uh no it has a lot of views

if this were a modern animation, we would get a bunch of "oh no" from KNuckles

[@VishisTV]

it is though

[@HardReset08]

@@VishisTV ik this is an old comment but its not since this was originally made in 2011 which was about 13 years ago?

[@LuckyIStar]

Well this is one I somehow missed. Man, remember when Knuckles was Sonic's rival? Good times.

[@mazkeraid4039]

Sonic Team should bring this aspect back even if it could be a friendly one.

[@goldenswag3449]

Happy to see people still care about this animation

[@tails-spin0139]

So good to see this masterpiece in high quality... and actually synchronized to the music!

[@snackattack1274]

It's been years since I watched this animation as a kid. Glad to see this again, and on my birthday too! You guys are the best!

[@Gamerbropart2]

I love when both characters start fighting the movement syncs in with the music

[@militarypineapples7637]

When there are Sonic the Hedgehog fights, I like it when he battles Knuckles more than Shadow. And also, this is great!

[@megapulsar9244]

Whoever has seen and remembers that Sonic vs Knuckles sprite animation back then, it would let you choose between Sonic's victory or Knuckle's victory at the end. Does anyone see what I'm talking about?

[@derekurbina7371]

You're as Beautiful as the day we lost you...

[@Dante...]

The OG rivalry.

[@Jellyman4]

2:24 If you had no knowledge of Sonic, you'd think Sonic and Knuckles used to be childhood friends in this scene

[@lancejones9838]

I love how there movements match perfectly with the song

[@g74hz]

This is the reason why I'm making a sonic vs knuckles sprite animation. Good times... I miss the old sonic shorts.

[@Davemyster05]

Glad this gem got preserved.

[@son-of-1810]

I remember loving this as a kid, still holds up I’d say.

[@QuasiTheChemist]

One of my favorite of Aero’s animations.

[@bananabike279]

Remember watching this many years back and being blown away by how well animated this was compared to most other animations!! Glad to see it archived

[@SuperSonicFan16Official]

1:32 This part right here is still my favorite part when there moves go with the beat. SO NOSTALGIC

[@darkninja2992]

I can only hope sonic and knuckles fighting in sonic 2 can be this good

[@neohybride2597]

I remember when I was little this fan animation was my favorite. And still today I find her really cool.

[@marquesgorham4226]

This is such a great sonic and knuckles fight ahh this gives me the nostalgia and memories. Even though I could of swore this video dated all the way back longer than 2 years.

[@Elec.Balloon]

North Wind is an amazing song and no one can tell me otherwise.

[@NekkoBlue]

Had me thinking Aerobian-Angel uploaded a new animation after so long, but this is good too. Takes me back.

[@MTHMalik]

I saw this a long time ago the memories

[@KingOmnihog]

Man this brings back memories, one of the few anims that inspired me to learn how to animate

[@s1y22]

This animation was way past cool and still is. Roger has officially stopped voicing Sonic after 10 years, he was the longest Sonic voice actor. We will miss him. #SonicRoger #10Years

[@xxepiccokxx7934]

Ah,Nostalgia....Once when I was like 10 years old,I always come to your channel..😅

[@musicalocelot470]

Wow this is smooth. I love how they're pretty evenly matched throughout the fight. And how you incorporate the various skills of both of them. My only question is... Why are they trying to kill each other? Lol

[@KingM3634]

I remember watch when i was 4 or 6 nostalgia

[@user-to6ok2js6k]

This is my first time seeing this animation. It's incredible!

[@everythinggmod7204]

Brilliantly choreographed

[@brittanylehman5104]

Whoa, GREAT JOB! THIS WAS FANTASTIC! I LOVED watching this, the perspective shots and scenes of the backgrounds, the way sonic and knuckles moved, the timing of their movements with the music, all of that was spot on! This was AMAZING! You're a really good animator! X3

[@artboxartist9935]

That was so awesome! The art style was super cool, and the animation was so smooth!

[@the_littlecupcake4647]

Love how some punches were on beat

[@Dima064]

A little bit disappointed that this one didn't return in widescreen. But hey, it's better than nothing. Really nostalgic to see such high quality animation yet again and I'm glad it will be preserved as it deserves to be.

The memories of my childhood are coming back to me :,)

[@artdx2854]

I always saw myself in Sonic and my older brother saw himself in Knuckles, we are just one year of diference. Since our childhood we were rivals, everytime I see this video I remember we playing of fight when we were little and it makes me remember how much I love him.

[@codybender5332]

I always loved the games when Kunckles was a secondary antagonist and not an ally. He was so threatening and I liked the idea of speed vs strength.

[@mazkeraid4039]

They should bring that aspect back, not as a lifelong best friend, but as fighting partners in crime.

Dear god I love this! Amazing animation.
