Sonic X Shadow Generations: Radical Highway No Doom Wings

[@Derpinator01]

Black Doom: "Shadow, it is time to embrace the power of the Black Arms!" Shadow: "Do I look like I need your power?"

[@PaulFellourisStrongman]

I really wish they didn’t let you play this level with doom wings first. The level is designed brilliantly and most might not play without wings.

[@cascade969]

I mean, it was an option. Some people might want to play with doom wings first.

[@zoff.him1]

@@cascade969this level was hard as hell. I got a C rank. I’ll revisit once I master the other ones lmao

[@mikecheck5937]

Counterpoint: IM FUCKING FLYING AND LOOK COOL AS FUCCCCCKKKK

[@OscarSanchez-vo9dx]

You play with the wings and fly over cool shit and immediately wanna do it all over again because of how fun the stage is

[@ValGuard4801]

The point is to be a triumphant final push at the height of his power. I DO like that rankings and times are separated tho. The wings break stages completely lol

[@susped645]

It feels like Black Doom likes Radical Highway a little too much. He even intertupts past stages with it.

[@ozarugold2616]

Not even in my wildest dreams would I have expected to see a perfect race of almost 4 minutes in a Sonic game, 😭 and to finish with a level so well designed that you have total freedom to choose how to pass it.

[@GemsofEarth]

This redefined the fun Sonic games been missing for a long time.

[@TheHammerGuy94]

When you give Interns an insane time crunch: Sonic Forces When you give them study material: Sonic Frontiers Cyberspace when you let them cook: Cyberspace Remixed When you let them go Wild: Doom's eye sections and Radical Highway

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Forces had a 5 years window of development, from 2013 to 2017. Stop using the crunch excuse. Cyberspace is still trash.

[@sonicovertime]

No Doom Wings on Radical Highway (especially act 2) makes it way more difficult than normal. I haven't seen anyone else cover this yet so here ya go.

[@Faizan1631]

I just managed to do act 2 and I think it took me around 2 hours, insanely difficult

[@Pissmaster420]

Jfc I should have believed it. I’m getting 600 points under what I believe to be s rank. I swear I take the same route and just take 20 seconds longer

[@Pissmaster420]

3:37 and 483 rings why is this so tight

[@Pissmaster420]

And it’s telling me I need to shave off 20 more seconds which would be below the time in the video 🙃

[@Pissmaster420]

No clue why it’s such a tight s rank. I took like 15 seconds more and grabbed almost 50 more rings and the game told me I had to shave off 20 seconds which would be lower than your time. Makes no sense

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Without wings this is the hardest boost formula stage to S rank outside of maybe eggmanland

[@Jtmissile]

And Dragon Road Day Act 1-2 if we're counting DLC

[@crudolph3223]

Awesome run -- I just spent a good amount of time trying Act 2 without wings and shaving down my time. A lot of things in this video I'm going to implement next time. I will be copying: 1. Your path around the water at 5:14 (I also spammed chaos spear at the big enemy while waiting for the explosion lol) 2. Dropping down at 5:45 is genius, I didn't even see that. And skipping the second big dude at 5:56 -- didn't even think of that. 3. 6:08 spring -- and now I wonder if you can jump off the rail at 6:10 to homing attack the spring and save 1.5 seconds of grinding in that circle? Also, you can save yourself 5 seconds at 6:52 by jumping down to the right instead of running up the loop! Love how well designed these 2 levels were -- I was so happily surprised when I realized Act 2 was a 3D level!!!!

[@dukedumastv2250]

This game is soo good, haven't gotten to radical highway yet but I'm excited for when i unlock it, sick ass run bro seriously

[@masterdails]

3:22 Sad moment in an otherwise damn good run for Act 1

[@justanotherhankhillaccount]

If you think about it, this is technically the only level they remastered from Generations 3DS

[@beegyoshi2068]

It's cool how the first and last ever levels shadow has appeared in are radical highway

[@remnantofthefirstworld2930]

Unless you count the Biolizard fight

[@TheHammerGuy94]

The designers gave radical highway the tropical resort treatment The first level becomes the hardest one.

[@Pissmaster420]

Its the last level

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Ewww Colors trash

[@VectorSayz]

these might be my favorite 2 acts in all of sonic. (without the doom wings)

[@beegyoshi2068]

The only act that's better is kingdom valley Act 1

[@k41e546]

Imagine if this game had chao garden as well

[@force5926]

Exactly.

[@dukedumastv2250]

Also figured out a cool thing with shadows side dodge if yu keep boost active while you use right bumber as long as its angled correctly you can use it like sonica drift normally you can't control your direction you'll slide to the side and then straight, but if boost is active you can control your slide it looks sick when his shoes ignite while you're boost sliding

[@戴劭名-z8p]

What sucks about this game is that: for anyone who's already bought sonic generations. This can't be purchased as an extension. Meaning you have to buy the game you already have AGAIN to get this part of the story. you basically have a redundant story that you've played before. Would've been better if they (a) make it a DLC to the original game. (b) make shadow generations it own game. or (c) make it so that it's not the price of 2 games combined But no. they're not gonna give us that And I'm still salty that we don't get playable sonic vs shadow on this side of the story also emerl being hyped but not even in the game

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Its not even full price lol

[@just_an_elli]

Shadow is worth $50 in my opinion. Quality over quantity

[@Iheartdrumzz]

The sonic generations part of the game is worth it since they redid classic sonic physics to match the genesis games and you got the frontiers control setup now. Sonic Generations is way more fun now imo

[@OscarSanchez-vo9dx]

@@MILDMONSTER1234like it’s 2 20 dollar games, 2 9/10 20 dollar games, yeah sure it sucks for the people that have played generations to death but frankly I got my moneys worth out of shadow gens already

[@neomachine855]

​@@Iheartdrumzz I thought that they only gave Classic Sonic the Drop Dash, did they actually tweak the physics?

[@crynosinso8324]

I have some issues, but the main one I have to say is, Radical Highway may be a beloved stage, but it's used too many times in this one game. I don't mind reusing stuff as long as it's different enough and isn't constantly being used in repetitive scenarios. Radical Highway was used way too much. I'm fine with it being in Space Colony Ark and having it as the final stage, but they should've either used different stages like Westopolis and White Jungle as transition areas or nixed it after the one on Space Colony Ark and had Black Doom encounter us on the actual stages while warping those said stages. The game is excellent otherwise besides some personal issues. Great difficulty, level designs are near perfect, and the bosses feel strong and intimidating. I'm just surprised by how good some people are already when I'm complete crap at both games 😅 First time fully playing console Gens btw.

[@DarkYTXEditz]

Great Speedrun, keep it up man

[@a.z.pantera5577]

Kinda sad we didn't get Westopolis instead of Radical Highway. Like I know Radical Highway is more iconic, but Westopolis is THE stage that begins Shadow the Hedgehog where he first met Black Doom. Really make it a "end it where it all began" sort of thing. Also the Westopolis theme is better than Radical Highway's, in my opinion.

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Or they could've put Westopolis in place of that Sunset Heights trash from Forces.

[@a.z.pantera5577]

@@yrooxrksvi7142 what's kinda funny to me about this is that when Shadow was in Sunset Heights in Forces, they play a remix of Westopolis. While I agree Forces wasn't a good game, I do like what they did with Sunset Heights here. Makes something bad into something good, like they did with Kingdom Valley.

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

@@a.z.pantera5577 So you like a straight line with a bunch of water geysers or easily avoidable spikes ? No, it still sucks. Kingdom Valley on the other hand was a perfectly fine stage ruined by bad physics, as P-06 proved it actually works.

[@a.z.pantera5577]

@@yrooxrksvi7142 I mean, just because a stage is straightforward or easy doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. I certainly don't think it sucks. I'm not really a Forces hater either, so I don't really share your sentiment.

[@ghoster37]

I only have a 4:07 and I'm playing on ps5 and it says next rank in 25 seconds. So for me that's a 3:42. I was only looking at this cause I couldn't figure out how a 3:42 would be possible. Maybe the time is wrong for the rank.

[@donarceus]

@@ghoster37 I just got a 3.27.20 now :'))

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

The Doom Wings make this stage too broken, easy and exploitable. But on its own, while cool, it also convoluted and Radical Highway has been way too overused throughout the game. Every single 2D stage can get the boot. Space Colony Ark 2 is literally a Forces stage, so it's trash.

You seem miserable, how about letting people enjoy the game
