[@Lethargy514]

@@haruhirogrimgar6047 Hell nah, the gravity bracelet made zero gravity boring and easy. Everything from Sonic Riders 1 made you focus on managing your air, including the drift you mock. It's not even hard to use.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

@@Lethargy514 I insulted the drifting, I didn't mock it. And Zero G was boring because it was automated AF and took out all the engaging mechanics from Riders. The Gravity ring was the only engaging part of that game and it allowed for the most creative level design I have seen in a racing game. The issue with the drift is it is very extreme, unforgiving, and the least consistent mechanic of riders. It uses up a crap ton of air, is the only way for you to meaningfully turn (the track either does a very wide turn or a 90 degree turn that requires the drift,) and if you mess up the input even a little bit you will turn the wrong way and then dash into a wall. I love Riders to an extreme degree and have thousands of hours into it. The game feels as natural as breathing to me, except every now and again the drift will just chuck me into a wall because Jet looked a little to the left before I hit the R button. Though I should clarify I just want the turning on the gravity ring, not the long corridor boost: The beauty of the Gravity Ring is its flexibility and massive pace changer. You can make maps with literal 180 degree on the dot turns with the Gravity ring, or 60 degree turns, and it can be used for a little bit of recovery if you smack into a wall. On ramps you can make shortcuts where people need to use the gravity ring (like the fan vent on Security Corridor.) It is very consistent in a game that felt horrendeous to control. The music changing when you used it supplied a massive rush. And the issue of the Gravity meter, just get rid of it, maybe tie it to air if you rebalance the air meter but I feel turning should not be tied to fuel any more than basic driving. And tricks are messed up in part due to the ring (being able to gravity turn mid-jump is probably why they automated tricks/jumps.) But they could find a work around.

[@yankee1147]

I grew up with zero gravity. I hated it for 1 reason. I could never beat the final boss because I was kind of a bitch. I played it at night and fought the final boss. I had the volume high and all of a sudden I hear a loud as roar from the boss. That scared me for whatever reason. And I went 5 years without beating it until I finally grew a pair. But other than that I enjoyed the hell out of that game

[@ricdinchirock3625]

Cool! Other ZG fans exist!

[@FrostGlader]

My only game in the Riders series was Zero Gravity, and when I was a child I couldn’t beat the first stage (feel free to laugh at me). It took me forever to beat, but then there was the second stage. Didn’t take as long, but then I just breezed through the rest of the levels. I got good almost overnight. I was using the Wii Remote control scheme, and I used that playstyle to beat all the missions with the Extreme rating on my Wii U last year, something I couldn’t do as a child (except for the actual worst stage in the game, that I perfected). I cheesed one of the missions by activating Zero-G after a ramp and flew back towards where the ramp was just so I could jump the ramp again.

[@jam9484]

Velocity is the measure of a straight line from point A to point B. If a race car circled four laps around a standard racing track and stopped at the exact spot it started, its average velocity would still be zero because point A and point B are, in this case, the same location. Velocity is not synonymous with speed.

[@aedenspear2394]

Honestly, Riders has my favorite opening theme of any Sonic game. It has my favorite character designs for the Sonic crew and I enjoyed the game a lot. I also had Zero Gravity and, as everyone else in the comments seems to agree, Zero Gravity was really good too. Don't get me wrong, I liked the OG trick system and the sharp turn system was dumb to me when I started playing ZG. That doesn't change the fact that I liked both and that I was upset when the third came out as a Kinect game.

I dont think it is unpopular, many people that I saw who played the game prefer Zero Gravity. I like it, but the missions are way too easy (the first was not very difficult either, but a fun challenge to master the mechanics of the game unlike ZG missions, that are very basic) they raised the grind for new gear, they changed the game so much compared to the first that going back and forth is difficult and it has some technical problems. It was released only for PS2 and Wii. The PS2 version have the best controls for me, especially playing the first on PS2 also, but the performance is quite bad sometimes, the game slows down frequently. The Wii version runs better and in widescreen, but you have to use the Wii Remote or the GameCube controller, without any option for Classic Controller (which is closer to the PS2 controller. I like the GC controller overall, but I find difficult to adapt to the GC scheme in this game).

I had SO MANY days of my childhood playing this game with my friends and brother, even more than Mario Kart Double Dash. With all the mechanics of Speed, Power, and Fly making courses feel different with how you tackle it. Different Gear not only having different stats, but some making characters use different styles even tho they aren't in the same class (for example, by using the Magic Broom Gear you can Fly, even tho you're Speed or Power) with the cost of reduced stats compared to focusing on your Class. Even a lot of the Missions were unique and made stages into obstacle courses that were fun to go through and go above and beyond the requirements......even though missions with limited air and cars to hit were VEEERRRY difficult. I HIGHLY recommend people to try this game if you like Sonic or Racing games to play with friends.

I actually just realized that this game is referenced pretty hard in the Rush games, especially Rush Adventure 2, where there's actually literally a zone called Sky Babylon. In the Rush games which are 2D sidescrollers like oldschool sonic, you also have a "boost" meter which fills up when you collect rings, kill enemies, and when you do tricks on rails or off of jump ramps, with the ideal goal being to stay in boost mode the whole time. It's actually pretty neat. I dunno about other people but I also enjoyed the little minigames you used in order to travel, too. Kinda feels like a really underrated title, I think...? I've never seen anybody talk about them.

the thing is nights is more populars than ulala and aiai yet he disses nights as if they're the unknown one

[@Spinez]

Maybe I just say that because I see nights more than the majority of sega characters nowadays

[@aydinozkan349]

It makes me really happy to see a lot of people support zero gravity cause I loved it a lot too I grew up on it I really hope sega notices and remasters it

[@M1RACLEWEAVER]

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity is the one I actually like the most. It had a unique mechanic and it's pretty fun... but I like this one a lot because of NOSTALGIA.

[@Maniac4Bricks]

Love the art style for the 2-D animations in Sonic Riders 1

[@CinnaSwirls]

I'm so happy to see you made a video on this game. I have played for so long that no matter what gear I use I almost always have an easy time of things. I have even completed both grand prixs with gold medals and with every single gear in the game. I have determined the the Berserker is the worst gear by far. Honestly, I wish I had someone to play with, but it's so damn hard to learn the game.

[@SuperBronySparkle97]

Hey Zero Gravity is good it's free riders that ruined everything.

[@ChaddyFantome]

Zero Gravity took out all the depth from the game. Its just kinda boring.

[@Craft_Jensin]

I can still feel the callouses in the palm of my hands when I would do the spinny sections

[@Cobzah]

zero gravity was great, alax 🥴🥴🥴

[@nirumoon]

i would love to see a remake of sonic riders, it was my favorite racing game

[@Magical-eu7pj]

It's sad that I just realized Monika and Floating Ganondorf Amiibo were killed off. R.I.P

[@ChronikSpartan]

Hi mate, I just came across your channel! Love this video, great production and I really like the mix between game edited game footage and real footage of yourself. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos!

[@WZ-07]

Bruh I remember playing Sonic riders zero gravity for the Wii years ago

[@troyklk7734]

I actually LOVED sonic riders. Wish they could do another. Not for the story but I enjoyed playing multiplayer.

[@TheA_Gamer554]

but zero gravity isn't bad

[@JimRaynorRaider]

Something tells me Alex never played ZG

[@waynemidnight7454]

I remember playing this on my PS2, and it was one of my favorite games on that console!

[@lightgivemepower6425]

By the way... Super sonic is a playable character in this game.

[@WillowPillowVT]

Been waiting for this one, Riders has been a favorite of mine and, it’s time it got some recognition.

[@dth4476]

10:10 So much Nostalgia 😫 I remember only loving that track just because of the music 🔥🔥

[@atomicdynamite1631]

I remember enjoying hours and hours of Sonic Riders and Riders Zero G. This was my childhood, man! And I loved it!

[@WhiteBoyJohnson]

What if Beat (from Jet Set Radio) was in Sonic Riders that would be cool.

[@TrueReverse74]

The best skater around

[@mastermario360]

I just want to point this put since a lot of people don't know but there 2 types of ramps. I like to call them forward and curved. Forward ramps are the ones like the first ramp in mute city and curve is the one before the spinning analog thing. Forward ramps if you hold forward on the analog stick when you jump you go much higher and hold back for curved ramps tp get higher from those. That's how you land on things like that green platform in mute city after the first ramp or the rainbow behind the waterfall in the 2nd track. Happy racing!

[@Faapu]

Personally I prefer Zero Gravity, but that's only because I'm bad at the original.

[@Violant3]

in my opinion it was an upgrade in every aspect from the first one

[@ChaddyFantome]

@@Violant3 explain

[@Violant3]

@@ChaddyFantome the overall aesthetics is so good, the soundtrack is great the graphics are better, you can play as silver, the racing tracks are much better designed and detailed but yea, this is very subjective, just my opinion

[@gumi6751]

The gameplay is dumbed down tbh And some tracks are more linear and require less skill

[@Micbro]

Honestly I didn't know how to get the higher shortcuts in the original until I watched cobi's video. From then the game was super easy for me

[@Nugzie]

Sonic riders for me was a amazing game as a kid i spent countless hours playing the game many summer nights up late just getting “better “ at the game admiring the cutscenes and the music i truly wish they would bring this game back with awesome graphics and good story and more characters to play while keeping the core gameplay formula unchanged also multiplayer lol

[@aura7604]

Honestly, Zero Gravity wasn't that bad.

[@Darth_Carlino]

at 3:25 you said the in game cutscenes do not look bad and while i do agree with you, amy's eyes just look weird and make no sense as to how she can wink like that

[@menethemene1555]

Yeah another sonic game review the legend himself

[@RedToa94]

This game is so underrated. It's honestly one of my favorite racing games ever.

[@GerbilNinjaOfDeath]

Zero Gravity fixes almost all of your ending complaints though, not sure I understand why you think it's bad.

[@SelectClay]

I haven't even watched the video but YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA SONIC FUCKING RIDERS!!! Edit: Now that I'm done, it was a great video, and I'm so glad to see other people in the comments also praising zero gravity. Yeah, the sense of speed in zero gravity was MUCH less than riders but it was still a fun experience. Me and my brother would race on tracks and make mini storylines almost like some crappy TV show like Sonic X but we just rebounded off of each other's imaginations and good lord it was hours of fun. That's kinda what I miss about gaming now, we're constantly looking for the GAME to fuel our enjoyment of it rather than making enjoyment from the game OURSELVES.

[@zachg6060]

idk i enjoyed zero g, it was tighter and the minigames were good i had a bunch of time in the soccer one

[@Obsidian8R]

this video also serves as the best tutorial of this game out there

[@Deadponygaming]

Zero Gravity is the better game, don't @ me

[@Sieztt]

@Fork & Spoon Entertainment wrong opinion

[@alexandernguyen5074]

Tbh, it is.

[@Versitax]

Riders: Zero Gravity is easier and has more content, but Riders has better gameplay.

[@Pickelrye]

But this is KZbin, not Discord.

[@Blueflag04]

Ping you

[@usocrzzy]

I'm glad you enjoy my favorite racing game I still pick up every once in a while to play.

[@ThomasTheBored]

Was Zero Gravity not good? I mean I played it when it came out and the worst thing I remember were the shoehorned waggle controls because "it's a wii game, gotta show of dat technology SOMEHOW!"

[@lordeilluminati]

It is my issue with this game. The PS2 version has better controls for me, but it goes to slideshow territory performance wise, the Wii version is smooth as butter, but you have to play with the Remote or the GameCube controller (I like the GC controller overall, but not with this game). No classic controller support for some reason

[@lordeilluminati]

Having just Wii Remote and GC Controller support have other issue even: playing on Wii U backwards compatibility or on a later Wii model forces you to play with the worst control scheme possible

[@another-person-on-youtube]

This was a really good episode, guys. I can tell you're working really hard on these videos, and it shows. I enjoyed watching!

[@MechaMario64]

Am I the only one that likes Zero Gravity still?

[@saberzx_]

Sonic Riders is my favorite GameCube Sonic game, and I'm so happy you made a video covering how this game is so underrated! This was the first ever game that I had truly 100% completed
