The REAL REASON Why FOXY is NOT FOOLED by the Mask in FNAF 2

*DISCLAIMER* I Know FNAF2 is SET BEFORE FNAF 1 & FOXY in FNAF1 does not BECOME foxy in FNAF2... it was poor wording on my part in the video, although the FNAF2 Withered ANIMATRONICS DO become the FNAF1 ANIMATRONICS....SEE HERE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnqQlZmtgJaFbMk

FNAF 1 Foxy essentially. Which if you seen my lore video, all the animatronics used in FNAF1 location, where indeed the OG's from an original location. Pre Dating 1987 FNAF2. Hence whey they are withered in 1987 FNAF2, then refurbed for FNAF1 location. The video part shows comparison from the FNAF1 design, to FNAF2

Look at what Foxy looks like when he's alone in Parts and Service. That's the look of boredom, irritation, and misery. He doesn't have any reason to play by the rules of the others. He just says, "Fuck it, we move." whether it be in FNaF 1 or 2. The light mechanic is likely effective because Foxy is already irritated, so the annoying flashy light just pisses him off to the point where he just fucks off.

Phone guy kinda explains why, I think its night 2 or one of the nights, he explains that the company originally wanted to reuse the withereds and began retrofitting them with newer technology but ditched the idea, so all the withereds may have some sort of facial recognition system just like the toys making them think you are Freddy with the mask on. But phone guy also said that Foxy was always twitchy, so Foxy must've had alot of problems, so the company most likely always had a plan to replace him, so they did not give him any newer technology, which means he doesn't have the facial recognition software the other animatronics have, allowing him to see through the mask. And the puppet is for obvious reasons since the puppet isn't actually a animatronic and was never supposed to move so the puppet doesn't have the software either.

Actually it's established you can trick the animatronics into thinking your one of them by wearing an animatronic suit. It's what William Afton did in the novels and tried to do in the games only for it to fail spectacularly and cause his springlock failure. However, Foxy isn't fooled by this trick he can clearly see the player is only wearing a mask and he probably thought, "Dude seriously you didn't even even try to disguise yourself properly"

That actually makes sense lol. I mean clearly the facial recognition never worked well, but it did require the animatronics to distinguish a human face from a mask. So without that, Foxy could deduce that someone wearing a mask could still be a human.

5:20 Also a theory to back this up! Puppet is a security bot as well made to protect kids (especially Charlie) so if your theory about foxy also being a security bot is true then both he and puppet would need a different form of programming and protocols to be able to tell real animatronics from let’s say a human in an animatronic suite? Or robbers from normal guests. So while the others would all have that “robot mask=robot=friendly” the puppet and foxy would both need a more in-depth scan then the others so they can properly protect and do security jobs

[@ppvsonicspy]

Mike and Jeremy are the same person. It's already been confirmed in the games that every protagonist from FNAF 1 to pizzaria simulator are the same person, Michael Afton, the oldest son of William Afton trying to fix the wrongs his father commited. That's why the animatronics are always hostile towards the player character, because he looks like his father.

[@SmubFinger]

@@ppvsonicspy close! Mike IS a protagonist from FNaF 2, but Jeremy is a different character.

Maybe Foxy can also see through the disguise of the Freddy head because he was in the Safe Room because FNAF World (Which is semi-canon because of UCN) says “out of order SINCE FNAF 1”, implying that in the other 3 games, he has been out of order. Employees in the Springlock Suits go into the Safe Room before bleeding out like Phone Guy said in FNAF 3. Maybe at one point, Foxy was a Springlock Suit and when the murder happened, he was being stored in the Safe Room while in animatronic mode.

Phone guy says that they’ve been retrofitting the old animatronics with the newer technology (facial recognition), but then they stopped and abandoned them. Probably Foxy’s facial recognition was never programmed into him.

[@DaeTheKnight1432]

my theory is that he just didn't have most of the new stuff added to him aka facial recognition and most likely the whole patch out the flashing lights thing, in fnaf 1/2 and the extras menu for fnaf 4 the order of the animatronics is always "Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, then Foxy." (there might be more stuff that proves/disproves this but this is just what i remember.) witch this is the order im assuming that the animatronics started to have the new stuff added then that would mean that foxy was last to be worked on. (i haven't read the books in a long time so i dont remember if this is true or not) if the date of the mci is 1985 as said (possibly) in the books then that most likely means that the building as stated in the fnaf one newspapers "will shut down by year's end" witch means 1986, witch would leave a year for them to work on the fnaf 2 building with takes place in 1987, and as i said before, the people working on the animatronics from the 1985 Freddy's (possibly) were working on the animatronics from Freddy - Foxy, would be working on foxy last, and they also stopped working on the animatronics before they were finished retrofitting them with the newer technology. witch is even more proof that they most likely foxy had the least amount of stuff added to him. but thats just what i think. please correct me if im wrong about something that i said, any way's, think you for reading.

Light truth: the foxy in fnaf two is from the time that fredbear and springbonnie were around with Fredbear and friends being the version you see. Fnaf 1 foxy is a different foxy from the 1990’s, so that comes later. Fnaf 2 foxy is an earlier iteration

Quick fact check: The foxy in fnaf 2 IS different than the one in fnaf 1. It's really complicated, but put simply, fredbear's family diner was open before the fnaf 1 location, but it closed after the bite of 87. Afton was desperate to re-brand (and to kill again), so he opened another location where he began his killing spree again, putting kids bodies into the suits just like in the original location. So they are different foxys from different times, which is why they look slightly different. Fnaf 1 foxy looks more cartoonish and rounded, while fnaf 2's foxy looks more slender and acrid.

Great video thus far, but I would like to apply a correction. The withered animatronics from Fnaf 2 are not the animatronics from Fnaf 1. As Fnaf 2 is actually (rather sneakily) a prequel to Fnaf 1, and not a sequel. This is why there are certain details in the animatronics that DON'T match up. (For Foxy, the most obvious of these changes is that he has 3 metal toes instead of 2.) The Fnaf 2 withered animatronics are from a Pizzeria we don't get to play in. This Pizzeria is only really acknowledged in the lore within some of the books. But it is why their designs aren't just different from Fnaf 1, but arguably more clunky. They are much older animatronics than the Fnaf 1 animatronics.

I have a funny feeling like Roxy in Security Breach, Foxy can see through walls and you

I love that these kinds of theory videos are still being made almost a decade later. I remember phone guy explaining Foxy though, Scott did a great job with it cuz he really sounds like he's just remembered something different about Foxy. "I loved those old characters. Uh, did you ever see Foxy the Pirate? Oh wait, Foxy... Oh yeah, Foxy. Uh, hey listen! Uhh, that one was always a bit twitchy. Uh... I'm not sure if the Freddy head trick will work on Foxy." This is also different from how he talks about the puppet, not just because he doesn't like it, he also describes it as "thinking" "I'll be honest, I never liked that puppet thing. It's always... thinking, and it can go anywhere... Uh, I don't think the Freddy mask will fool it, so just don't forget the music box." So I'd think that Foxy simply works differently than the others, while the puppet is smarter. there's also the fact that Foxy just sprints down the hallway and dives at you, so maybe he's just jumping at movement regardless of context lol

[@TwistedAnimatronic]

Very true

[@NathanTruby]

Another thing to keep in mind is that the eyesight of the Withered animatronics isn't nearly as sophisticated as it is for the Toy animatronics. Going off of what phone guy tells us, the Toys are the first animatronics to have integrated facial recognition systems. It may very well be the case that the Withered/FNAF 1 animatronics don't recognize individual people but instead see people based on the color they're wearing the most of. It would also explain why the animatronics attack anyone wearing the guard uniform. To them, all of the security guards are one and the same.

[@SANS-yb6zo]

The only thing that foxy doesnt have is facial recognition scanners that means he doesn't recognize the freddy mask

[@griffinroblox73]

foxy in the thumbnail: bro, do you think im dumb

[@Satoko-ob7nx]

6:45 if it was an ai then it would make sense, think of it this way, as an animatronic he may have only kept the info that man was worker in animatronic suit, man is now nightguard, man killed people, as an ai the logical conclusion when seeing the player, wears a animatronic mask, is a nightguard, it may just asociate those instead of with afton specifically, to simplify it, the ai may have only recorded that mask + nightguard = danger, not just william

Foxy in fnaf 2 is the embodinment of a slow disappointed head shake accompanied by the "Really.." look in his eyes

[@Ginger9494]

My theory:when Fred bears diner made foxy have better vision and more high tech due to he has one eye

[@marcuscarana9240]

I remember back in the old days, it was 2014 and the first fnaf game was such a phenomenon. It was a cheap, short, jumpscare game and yet the gameplay was so fun and ingenius at the time, everybody loved it. Despite gradually losing quality as all long term franchises inevitably do. I'm still so happy Scott Cawthon didn't decide to not expand on the first game. Back then, I thought it was gonna be a standalone game leaving the story and mysteries unsolved.

[@ruanulisses6650]

just by being separated from the band and being the one with the most different move set of them all in fnaf1, really makes me believe you are right when you say hes a security or a day care attendant, I mean, he really looks like he had a different purpose and better AI than the others, so even tho its just "a theory, a game theory", this might be the best explanation for him, not just on this game, but applying for 1 and 2

[@RockettRevengerr]

I think the phone guy said they had attempted to retrofit the older models with the facial recognition technology, but it had mostly failed, but he talks about foxy separately from the others calling him “twitchy” my assumption is that the old models still carry some of the facial recognition tech except for foxy since he seemingly was not fitted for it from the very beginning. That’s just my assumption.

[@ackg]

He never was implemented with facial recognition so he doesn’t get fooled

Short answer and the common saying "you can't outsmart a fox" he is a fox he is smart but I'll give this a watch u kinda earned my interest on this

[@silverandgold.37]

Amazing video, I love the amount of effort put into the editing and humor, good job. Also, I love your PFP. I also really like the idea of Foxy "remembering" those traumatic events. Similar to what another user commented, I always thought that they W. Freddy, W. Bonnie, and W. Chica the new software in order to retrofit them, but not Foxy, because he was "too scary" for the kids (He does remind me of Nightmare Foxy.) Maybe, it's mixture of both W. Foxy remembering, and his exclusion, *but that's just a theory, a ga-*
