"SRB2 Is Still The Best Sonic Game" Propaganda

[@kixfantasma]

Almost in time for SRB2's 25th anniversary (you are 2 days late lo l) This game will forever remain as my favorite Sonic game (aside from Sonic Heroes), it just has so much content and mods, some of them being REALLY high quality I love this game to death

[@MariusUrucu]

I know and I'm sorry for that. I'm on vacation at my mom's house and am using my laptop for making videos. Better late than never I guess.

[@seacliff217]

The two-layered "Moon Landing" joke on the Egg TV Level perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Rogerregorroger's levels.

[@elosorojocientodiez]

The thing that I love from this fangame it's the actual "freedom" that gives you in the levels, entirely the best, or at least in the top 3 best Sonic fangames of all time

[@DorQ_YT]

The only Sonic fan game I grew up with since the late 2000s. Very happy to see how far the game has come since then

[@sonicfoamyfan9805]

Ever since I played Generations Speed Highway again I've been jonesing for a level that involved having Sonic speed through a mall or some sort of building in that nature and that Speed Highway stage came awfuly close. Too bad they couldn't' manage to have the night change to day/dawn it would have damn near perfect

[@squee-g1658]

I does change to dawn near the end. But its not that noticeable

[@Starpotion]

Really love Speed Highway's interpretation here. A lot of the major setpieces are implemented from the original stage, but still adds a lot of its own twists to stand out as its own level. I think it even surpasses Generations in that regard, by letting you run through more of the building interiors and adding the final dawn section.

[@croc6105]

I remember absolutely hating this fangame. After replaying it I changed my mind about it and now it's one of my favorite Sonic games, up there with SA1/2 and S3&k!

[@alexcartee6302]

Ah yes. The tf2 of sonic games. Glad to see this game is still going really damn strong

[@LuneLovehearn]

As graphic design student, this is so far one of the best levels I've seen. It brings fresh ideas to the game, while keeping it dynamic. I like the cameos and references to the late 90s culture. Hope this can be a milestone that becomes a full game using srb2 engine. I wonder if there's a way to have not so intense colors in the game, like more pastel like colors. Hope someone's hosts this on a server to give it a try myself. Combine it with the modern monitors mod for best results. That mod replaces classic monitors with the ones featured on sonic riders and related.

[@Alex-Defatte]

Well said. Love your insight!

[@LuneLovehearn]

@@Alex-Defatte someone had to say it. I will test it later myself, I feel happy to see stuff from my childhood to be used on this map.

[@metalsonic8423]

Yeah it references late 90's culture cause it was made in the late 90's lol

I remember putting SRB2 and Stick Soldier 2 on every computer in my old school's computer lab near the last day back in 2007. Even my math teacher joined us on my Ring Battle server.

[@BrckPrgm13]

After playing this games hours and hours on end, I still have so much difficulties to control Sonic, but you're making him cruise around the level like it's nothing. Your gameplay is impressive !

[@Zegner2435]

Recently replayed the main campaign with a whisper mod I found, absolute blast of a time to see so many sonic characters be playable and have various unique mechanics to them, another example being the Tanlge mod that basically lets you go spiderman all around every single level out there as long as you know what you're doing, and it's SO GOD DAMN FUN. This game is so customizable that even if you don't make a mod yourself there's enough good quality content out there to basically make your own sonic game with whatever playable characters you want and whatever stages you want, no playthrough gets to be the same, and the best part? it also has multiplayer with up to other 31 people on the same map, plus gamemodes too. also system compatibility, you can get a friend on an android device to play with you if you wanna, and modding that version is as easy as the pc version too.

[@josephfox7068]

Man, that glass breaking sound in speed highway is loud...I love it!

[@gluezi]

Best thing imo about srb2 is how free it feels, you're not limited to 1 or two path or made to go one way, it's nonlinear and I love it

[@devilblackdeath]

To date it's the only 3D Sonic game I can fully enjoy. Never completed most others cause I can't be bothered to but SRB2 is beyond amazing ! I 100%ed it no matter how hard it was (I think I did watch bits of hints for the last 2 Nights stages but mostly on what was the best approach to get the score medal) and I loved it. Only tried a few mods so far, but I can't wait to get full steam ahead into it !

[@troywright359]

To date, it's the only 3D game I enjoy. Move over zelda, SRB2 is the greatest game ever.

@@troywright359 I do love 3D games personally but for people who have a hard time with these, I can see SRB2 being one of if not the best 3D game indeed ! It has clear 2D inspirations visually and often calls back to 2D platformers gameplay !

Here's the copy pasted values local TOPSPEED = 68*FRACUNIT -- Cap speed for dashmode. local RUNTIME = 10*FRACUNIT -- How long do you have to run for to activate dashmode. local DEFNORMALSPEED = 39*FRACUNIT -- Put your default normal speed here. local OVERRIDESPEED = 100*FRACUNIT -- Automaticly activates dashmode at a certain speed. local MAXJUMPHIGHT = 1*FRACUNIT -- Maximum jump power when in dashmode. local SKIN = "sonic" -- Your character's skin name goes here

[@jtenma]

What's not being explained in this video: his inability to stay still enough to collect rings in a straight line. Look, I love srb2 as much as the next guy, but let's not kid ourselves here. There's a reason this control scheme was not adopted officially and it's not because Sega never visited the idea themselves. It doesn't work. Dude was wiggling all over the place and was.missing the simplest things. The road has to accommodate this by being extra wide (like many srb2 levels) because accuracy is low.

@@MariusUrucu I dont know, turning could have been minimal or just not so much and levels built with that in mind. I'm not saying the game doesnt look fun.

[@MariusUrucu]

@@chalybee8689 These level is more of an outlier, plus I used a lua script that raises the top speed (albeit you gain it gradually and can edit the values), but the main levels require this kind of turning since it has a lot more platforming and requires precision.
