It would taste so much better with hedgehog in it!

[@malimaui2802]

The versus mode for Sonic superstars is gonna have online. So, you can go up against people around the world. Only co-op doesn’t have online

[@robbiewalker2831]

4:14 - 4:40: I was right, Sonic has gone this downward spiral since the Death of the Dreamcast, and always has been since. There were a few good ones, though, I'll admit. 6:55: I wish I knew where to find this clip, it's hilarious.

[@michaelmcd64]

I got to play this game in the Sega arcades in Lost Judgment and my favorite part was the character models with the way they squash and stretch, it gave it a very unique visual identity.

[@doitforthememes5698]

Sonic the fighters is most likely gonna be a mainstay for arcade mini games in the yakuza/ judgement series since lost judgement which is great to see

[@MadDogSolo]

It’s also gonna be in Like a Dragon Gaiden.

[@Yop-x4g]

​@@doitforthememes5698 that's kinda cool. Sometimes I forget that Sega makes games other than sonic the hedgehog

[@SaddieMoon]

In the story of Sonic the Fighters, all of the characters are all guardians each emerald. The only exception was Fang as he stole his emerald from someone else who never see or get the name of. I like to believe that it’s Honey.

[@Evilriku13]

that would make sense canonicly xD

[@Jaice420]

What about Sonic's clone?

[@SaddieMoon]

@@Jaice420 Nah. Honey sounds cooler.

[@Jaice420]

@@SaddieMoon No what I meant was, how did Sonic's clone get an emerald? Shouldn't Sonic already have it? And it's not like the clone was just born with a Chaos Emerald. Maybe Eggman used the Chaos Emerald to make the clone or something.

[@SaddieMoon]

@@Jaice420 I don’t have an answer for that. I personally think the clone either obtained the emerald in the cloning process from the original, or the emerald you gain from them isn’t actually what happened. And the character you play as always had the emerald on hand. So it’s just a visual thing to show what level you beat in the list.

[@ShortMiao]

THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED!

[@alex-29789]

I want sonic the fighters for Nintendo switch

[@AlessandroVigliotti-ny2jw]

​​@@alex-29789 This game is never gonna return, ik that every sonic game should be for every modern console

[@AubbyLobby]

Most KZbinrs get sponsors from Crunchyroll. Blocky boxes the competition with a sponsorship from an entire university.

[@Gabonation]

rocket metal and roboegg probably have the shortest shortest time for them to appear in a game that was nearly forgetten

[@UltimateTS64]

It might partly be my nostalgia, but I always had fun playing Sonic the Fighters with friends back when you could only get it on Gems Collection. Even friends who didn't care about Sonic loved playing it for some reason, but either way still grateful for its existence.

[@GrimmGungren]

Fighting games bring people together, it's all about just the fun clashing

[@EmbarsArt]

Okay seeing a sponsor for an University of all things in a video about an obscure Sonic fighting game threw me through the loop real hard

[@mr.avocado8582]

It's always cool for people talk about this underrated gem (actually my favorite Sonic game btw lol)

[@aejloot12]

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

Honey the Cat is one of the best Sonic characters ever, and I am still very upset that the Archie Comics got canceled one arc before she was going to make a return.

[@kittyworks]

Yeah I'm sad we didn't get to see more of her :( but I don't think she's in Ken Pender's grasp so she might make a return!

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

@@kittyworks she is not, she's fully Sega! Hope to see her again one day, she made a cameo in an IDW comic already.

[@kittyworks]

@@NottJoeyOfficial Mhm! I think her and Jewel would get along well

[@nevrodrain]

Yeaj shes so cute i love her

[@stinger2626]

I need the cat will not be getting in other games.It's because Sega decided to just leave it alone.So honey the cat was a secret character so she really doesn't count as a character Also with eggman and metal sonic

[@xader7088]

Can't wait for the Cybershell crossover

[@DJoka10001]

I distinctly remember the arcade of this game as a child being at an old children's pizzaria called Jeepers. Fang and Espio standing out to me the most as the only two characters I knew about at the time was Sonic, Tails and Eggman (aka Robotnic). ...Now for my absurd head cannon for a sequel to this "Marvelous Queen" of a gem! Mechanically, it doesn't have to change all that much if at all tbh. Just give different moves to each character more moves than the original, a super meter (shaped like a chaos emerald that goes up to at least 7 levels as well as changes into their colors for each level) and give the barriers more uses than just blocking attack combos like maybe anti combo burst moves as a get-off-me kind of ability similar to skull girls when they do a burst to push back opponents. Or a parry option to quick stun opponents, leaving a window for you to attack. Or perhaps use it to summon notable shields through out the Sonic series such as: Fire shield, Bubble shield, Magnet shield, Chao shield, Gaia Shield, Super shield, Speed shoes, Invincibility, ect. And still be capable of use at least three to go Hyper mode. Honestly you can utilize all of these different functions similar to Street Fighter 6's Drive system (Chaos Drive System lol). As far as a Sonic fighting game goes you could also implement an assist/character swap mechanic like Marvel vs Capcom or something (more specifically Ultimate 3) since the Sonic series puts a heavy emphasis on team work. And just for shits & giggles -- stage transitions and destructable environments similar to other 3D fighrers like Virtua Fighterss and Fighting Vipers, Tekken, DOA, Soul Caliber, 3D ps2 era Mortal Kombat games (Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon ect.) As for characters heres a few obvious and straight up cool ass picks: Team Hero - Sonic, Tails, Knuckles Team Dark - Shadow, Rouge, E-123 Omega Team Rose - Amy Rose, Cream & Cheese, Big The Cat & Froggy Team Chaotix - Espio, Charmy Bee, Vector Team Sol - Blaze, Silver, Marine Team Babylon Rogues - Jet, Wave, Storm Team Hooligan - Fang, Bean, Bark Team Mighty - Honey, Ray, Mighty Team Metal - Metal Sonic, Tails Doll, Metal Knuckles Team Eggman Empire - Chaos Gamma, Sage, Dr. Eggman Team Mechanix - Germeral, RC Tails (Sea Fox), Bomb & Heavy DLC: Team Light - Takal, Chip, Chaos Zero Team Abyss - Infinte, Black Doom, Mephiles Team Witch-cart - Höeke Wulf, Carrotia, Bearanger Team Battle Kuku Empire - Great Battle Kuku XVI (Speedy), Fukurokov, Great Battle Kuku XV Team Mecha - Mecha Sonic MK 0, Mecha Sonic MK 1, Mecha Sonic MK 2 Team Underdog - Buddy (Default Forces Avatar), Dodonpa, Sticks Team Jam - Mach, Sharps, Max

[@simochiothereal4382]

Blocky never disappoints

[@peety0792]

The editing is one of the funniest I have ever seen! Looks like you win the prize of reviewing robo blast and its goated moding scene for a video!

[@kenzonPower]

Honey the Cat is one of my favourite Sonic Characters

[@cosmiceternity2033]

I've been looking forward to a new video from you for so long! It's so damn great to see you back 👏

[@KnucklesTheEchidna.]

7:14 That edit is everything!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Biggestsonicfan]

A very well rounded video that I think covers a lot of the basics of the game and it's unused content. There's some deeper dives here but to get into the nitty gritty would be a little boring. Great work, and thanks for the shoutout! ... but you take BACK what you said about Pengo!!! >:(

[@Blockyboxguy]

I said what I said, Pengo’s had it too good for too long

[@UI-jy6fr]

For someone with only 10 videos out, they sure are a high quality 10. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@RightNowsReverie]

You are seriously underrated. I love your editing and sense of humour, and good video on STF as well. Enjoyed the little trivia

[@maxloring-hale8000]

My god. A youtuber that posts sonic videos that is genuinely very funny? I cannot wait for more posts

[@SunsetRadi0]

If for some reason you decide to play this game through the Yakuza games, be it Lost Judgment/ LAD Gaiden or Infinite Wealth, keep in mind that the only carryover feature from the XBLA port is selecting Honey the cat, you cannot play as Eggman or Metal Sonic in those versions

[@YourAverageNerd06]

There is gonna be an 8-player Online Battle Mode for Sonic Superstars…..so yes, you can grief kids online

[@jojo5234]

my all-time favourite childhood game shit was peak, and the fact they haven't remade it or done another game is criminal

[@glowdonk]

I think they chose "Hunter" because "Sniper" didn't feel fitting for who is essentially a mercenary-type character

[@tlst94]

13:21 "Sonic and the-Sonic and the F**k You!" 😂

[@Orangefan13]

I was dying for like 5 minutes straight after seeing that 😂

[@Taktaagic]

15:28 I played Sonic the Fighters on PS2 when I was younger and I think that Honey was playable in that version?? I can’t remember exactly though cuz it was a while back lmao

[@Embrusp]

Vector: You’re the lead detective now Espio. Espio: Duck you I want to be in sonic fighters. Weird to see Espio and not Vector in the game but I’m not complaining because if you look at my name is easy to see that my favorite character is Blaze the cat.

[@MarioGoombario]

9:12 He is referenced in a IDW comic, I don’t remember which, tho

[@quinnjohnston5276]

I played this game so much as a kid, it’s straight up fire. The game is a banger. The game is a delight, it’s swell I’d even add.

[@Joe_334]

I can't see this game without the arcade stand, and Chuck E. Cheese Pizza, because this is where I first played this there.

[@darkness_matters]

Ur telling me that i couldve played a sonic fighting game my whole life and never touch grass? Man i wish i played this game when i was little

[@brawlios2252]

Fun fact. The speech bubbles are in the game. Being included from an attack of Bean stealing Amy’s hammer with the no speech bubble being used from Amy.

9:24 And then Game Apologists made a 14 minute video of a 3 second clip 😂

[@miasuke]

13:40 = Not so hard to do... With at least 1 stock in your barrier gauge, press Barrier + UP, DOWN + Punch. Explaining: While holding your barrier, press Up, release the Barrier Button, press DOWN + Punch. Move done jumpess... You're welcome.

Blocky, your videos always make my day and your editing is extremely professional! Keep up the great work! :D

[@joshswenson8390]

Not sure if it was mentioned in the video, but I came here to say that Sonic Smackdown could be considered a spiritual successor to this game. It's pretty cool.

[@bananabike279]

Awesome video! I had no idea Green Eggman was cut from the game, we've truly been robbed by Sega

[@hiddensoundtest1444]

I feel like most people in the west experienced sonic the fighters through its arcade mode and not its versus mode. Which is a shame because I think the game holds up really well when compared to a lot of early 3d fighting games

[@tristanv.8703]

Wow man your editing in incredible

I typed Sonic into KZbin and sorted by Last Hour and I found this and I'm so happy I did! Consider me a new fan! Btw congrats on the sponsor! 😊❤

[@UsernameDoesntCare]

I don't understand why people hated this game, its cute, charming, amazing music, great visuals, fun to play, awesome characters, etc. People hate on Sonic R too even though that game is also great, people who complain about the controls dont know how to use them properly, I explained that all you had to do was hold the bumpers down while you're turning to a friend and he was baffled that I somehow 100% completed a game he thought was the worst most hardest game ever, when in actuality, its just cute, charming and harmless fun. Sonic Fans expectations went up a bit too high at some point, I bet people loved this game when it came out in the arcades. People are starting to like it again too.

[@SockoNChips]

I do want to add that rocket metal WAS in a archie comic to my memory, in like, 1 panel...
