This BONUS video is designed as a follow up to my recent series of videos covering Team Hooligan (that's Bean the Dynamite, Bark the Polar Bear and Fang the Sniper, though I've also thrown Honey the Cat in there for good measure). I was really happy with my Team Hooligan profiles but some people were kind enough to send me some extra information about the gang AND, crucially, corrected some mistakes I made in those videos. Join me as I try to set the record straight, right my wrongs and share some never-before-seen and never-before-heard bits of information in the process.

Hey folks, this video is a follow-up to a series of video I did discussing each member of Team Hooligan. Here are the original videos: - Bark the Polar Bear -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/boGoeY2chpmdms0 - Fang the Sniper -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGKsYptuo6mmhM0 - Bean the Dynamite -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2nVnKZ_lptsmpo - Honey the Cat -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpCpfnp7oruYY6s

[@erugurara8235]

jonny, did you not ask the fang creator why Fang has only four finger?.

[@bachilles3285]

7:21-7:35 I always thought he was the anonymous developer you were talking about.

[@stellarmelody2784]

The only one whos not bad or hybird is bark the polar bear

[@KennethMoreland]

His name is Nack the Weasel.

[@Trakker1985]

Yep, my fault for popularising completely incorrect and inaccurate designs of Honey via fanart back the good ol' days, I regret nothing. I did reset her appearance in my own work though once she was released officially in the PSN and XBL releases XD

[@Yubfan69420]

Oh, no replies?

[@thespectacularjackjack8787]

Where it talks about Sonic The Fighters in the Sonic The Hedgehog Encyclo-Speed-ia, it talks about Bean The Dynamite and says, “He’s a wild sports-enthusiast woodpecker who can seemingly generate explosives from thin air.”

[@NinjaKIngAce]

8:17 Ian Flynn theorized, in his podcast, that Bean sells houses so that he can blow them up, because there's no point in blowing something up if no one owns it. Bean: You'll buy it? Great! **BOOM**

[@User_Here414]

That is very funny to think about

[@mauricia9245]

I bet Bean also sells houses to make people think he's a house seller instead of a bomber.

[@HiperPivociarz]

I imagine he's like those 90s movie villains who blow up an orphanage so he can build a parking lot there.

[@liviwaslost]

@@HiperPivociarz he probably likes explosion videos

[@KennethMoreland]

Ian Flynn is a trash writer, and ruins characters due to personal grudges

[@ryan2t4]

Additional fact: According Sonic Superstars comic, Fang The Sniper is actually his alias to avoid the law enforcement. Along his other alias, Nack the Weasel, and Jet the Jerboa. And yes, Fang indeed he's a Jerboa.

[@bilal_MH-907]

All of those are great charcters he need more love and even special shows& games

[@JohnnyVector]

For sure. Team Hooligan would make for a great collection of villains in a future game.

[@GodyN64]

the cherry on the cake, this video complete everything what you did before, funfact Bean's Heartstruck head is used as a random object Amy can drop but this is VERY RARE to see it

[@JohnnyVector]

Thanks! And I didn't know that, very cool

[@Bearman851]

My theory is that Bean is a Hybrid and because he rather not be considered a Duck or a woodpecker he goes by a Dynamite.

[@tmntphan]

It would be cool to see these characters come back legitimately, especially Honey!

[@hm-zu8uv]

I wish, but it's impossible

[@silvianbruno7512]

I'd consider the sonic mania appearance legit. A cornerstone of the old games was they usually had Mario levels of plot, so saying "well it wasn't *really* the hooligans" doesn't make a huge difference to me. They wanted a boss fight where you take on all three one-at-a-time, and a shape shifting robot was the perfect excuse-plot for it to happen.

[@mr.midnight1997]

I love how information regarding obscure sonic characters from the past are chronicled online for present and future fans.

[@GCSMGamerYT]

You should do Rankles the Echidna. He’s meant to be a ‘secret character’ in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and there was a ton of people trying to find him in game.

[@iheartbacon76]

I think rankles is an otter. I'm not sure if he is but I heard it from one of my friends

[@motxmod]

He already covered Rankles in his Sonic 3 iceberg video.

[@jaxmyers2094]

(if someone hasn't said it, or you've didnt read about bean in the encyclospeedia yet) i have it, and it says that "he is a wild sports-enthusiastic woodpecker who can seemingly generate explosives from thin air. he attacks with a wild abandon, but always with an implish smile on his face.

[@EdenNeedsAYoutubeHandle]

Trakker was my introduction to Honey the Cat too, in fact it's probably because of them that I still see Honey's ornamental hairbands as white ear tufts, ahaha... Admittedly I still like to think of his redesign of the character, with sleek modern clothing and no pigtails, as her "modern" look, and her Sonic the Fighters appearance as her "classic" look.

[@grinbrothers]

Another awesome video detailing lesser known about video game characters. It was cool of you to correct inaccuracies from your past videos and include so many cool pieces of trivia, particularly the awesome manga panels. 4:21 got a good laugh out of me.

[@sentientricecake3125]

Inject the obscure sonic trivia into my veins

[@novelezra]

Fantastic video; especially the portion on HTC. I don't know what it is, but there is something so wonderfully charming about the Sonic community and the way they work together. I know the Sonic community has a lot of negative connotations, spurred on by the louder voices in the community during the mid 2000's but I don't think anyone can deny now that SEGA have shown that fan and IP can have a symbiotic relationship, especially when it comes to fan works etc. Also, I cannot WAIT for when the encyclopedia drops, it will be a storm of both shit and gold. Causing equal amounts, drama, jubilation and befuddlement. Something like, a single line in Tails description hinting that he's bicurious or something, that causes both celebration and arguing in equal measure. That or they confirm Sonic's arms are canonically blue.

[@mauricia9245]

I am praying for a line that implies that Charmy is trans. I just....am. A line hinting at Tails being non-binary or a demi-boy would be cool too.

[@novelezra]

@@mauricia9245 Whats a demi-boy? I thought I was up on my non-binary lingo but now I feel left out of the loop.

For the next profiling how about Heavy & Bomb from Knuckles Chatoix

[@JohnnyVector]

A great suggestion, thanks. I'll add them to the list.

[@LeviChurch]

I really enjoyed this series of Sonic the Fighters videos. I hope next you'll cover Mighty & Ray or Metal Knuckles & Tails Doll. A Mecha Sonic video would also be cool.

[@the_ej1970]

Hope hooligans return in 2022 and become rivals to mighty, ray and honey

[@matthewwonks2534]

I appreciate the corrections. I didn't know any better from your orginals, but it speaks to your character that you wanted to correct them.

[@ZM256.]

Thanks for another excellent video and for crediting me. I always enjoy sharing Sonic trivia with other fellow fans. I would like to make videos about Sonic someday but for now I might as well give it to someone who already has a following so the information can spread to more people. 6:45 I knew that little sketch was based on a manga character but I wasn’t aware that Fang may have had influence from them so that was pretty nice to learn that. 8:05 Real estate is definitely not something I would have expected Bean to participate in. I think demolition would have been more appropriate but I guess he takes out his urge to blow things up by fighting. What a coincidence the number leads to an actual real estate agent. At least it doesn’t inadvertently take you to a sex hotline like Roger Rabbit on the NES. 16:19 This is another discovery for me. It feels like that move would fit more with Honey rather than Amy. I like how they used Knuckles to demonstrate the move given that in his Sonic Jam profile his “Weak Point” was girls because he’s a shy guy. I also always wondered what those heart eye expressions were supposed to be for and now I know. 17:09 The color “change” sort of reminds me of how fanart of the Junio/CD design of Sonic tends to have him with a lighter blue color as that is how he appears in the animations for the game but as it turns out it just seemed to be something that went wrong when converting them into video as the actual animation cels show Sonic with the more standard dark blue color. 17:33 That is an interesting interpretation for Honey’s clone colors. I like the color palette she has as “Candy”. I will look forward to seeing more Sonic videos from you.

[@protocetid]

You know while I roll my eyes at the dozens of extraneous Sonic characters, I kind of wish Team Hooligan was more prevalent in the games. What if they were less threatening and more mischievous, maybe give them a comic relief type role? And include Honey.

[@Canyoufeelthesunshine]

I love Bean and the original Chaotix line up

[@cryomancer199X]

i was kind of surprised that no one seemed to make the fighting vipers connection before i did. still am.

[@yousefslimani99]

That's Amazing to revisit these characters Now do "Who is Marine the raccoon girl"

[@ryanwebb309]

My head-canon for "Mirror Honey" is that she's actually Honey's twin sister named Candy. I think Nibroc Rock might've done something similar?

[@BodiesandBricks]

3:30 Sonic looks like a bootleg teddy bear your nan would buy you from a charity shop

[@GBlastMan]

I kinda want to believe that the theory of Candy the Cat X Honey the Cat could be that she has a twin sister, and Candy tends to be more of a more spoiled brat than Honey which could imply that prehaps Candy wants to take over Honey's fashion empire for herself or Candy has a more radical vision on fashion than Honey does which Honey kinda clashes with her even if her Fighting Vipers counterpart is a very "risque" woman when it comes to clothing.

[@blummoose1451]

I know sonic teams don’t go past 3 but honey would make a good memeber or team hooligan (kinda like how amy is sometimes on team sonic ya feel?)

[@EdenNeedsAYoutubeHandle]

The fanartist mentioned in the video, Trakker, did some pieces with Honey as part of a trio with Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel way back in the day on deviantart. I'm still pretty fond of the idea!

[@bmhedgehog2]

I've checked the Encyclo-speedia Bean is a Woodpecker.

[@fredarok579]

And yet he will always be a duck to me.

[@amied7361]

5:58 fang the wereweasel

[@infineoinfinite]

that FNAC reference killed me on Honey's chapter LOL

[@amesstarline5482]

Whether mentioned or not, Honey's also a fashion designer in the Archie Comics Reboot.

[@DJNeoncat]

I kinda find it hilarious that Fang is alternatively named Nack the Weasel, when he really isn't a weasel. I remember that i saw a video from Cybershell and it was confirmed that Fang/Nack is some sort of mouse.

[@RealAGuy]

Fang is a jerboa

[@gregzotter6189]

Would've been nice to get Honey in Sonic Gems Collection.

[@TheSwordsman100]

I have come from the future and the book says Bean is a woodpecker. (which IMO is weird, I always thought he was a duck)

[@milliequick1271]

Destroy the duck/woodpecker binary!

Haha, I think another KZbinr took care of that a while ago

4:14 I always knew Bark was supposed to be Terry Bogard! Also, how is it possible that Touma didn't design the Werehog??? His "Fang the Wolf" toys look just like it!! The Dark Chao and SA2 ghosts also look like his work if you've seen enough of his toys... Somebody's copying somebody here 😆 Lastly, Honey... Just Honey... She needs her own game she's the best Sonic character ever!! And that "sexy move" had me cracking up way too hard, why is she SO freakin' cute!!! Thanks for the video, it was awesome! God bless you man ❤️

what happens if we do the ashura sonic lag on tails and knuckles? i think it only changes the palette

[@DeviantDragonFurry]

Don't know if this has been said before. But Sonic Fighters was based on the Sonic been put into fighting vipers code. The AM2 team took it to Sonic Team and got green light to make Sonic Fighters. So there is a connection is between Fighting Vipers and Sonic Fighters.

I Got PS Now On My PS4, Come To Find Out That Sonic The Fighters Is On There, And Honey Is A Playable Character. If You Ask Me, SEGA Should Use Her More Often, Maybe Even Make A Sonic Mania 2 Where She Is Playable.

[@JohnnyVector]

Yeah, really glad they added her as a bonus character but she's so unique, it seems like a waste not to use her more.

[@TheOGLegoGuy]

You're probably not going to see this but I think a Sonic CD Iceberg video is a great idea

[@kingofsouls1840]

I feel like someone should do a rom hack in sonic hero’s that add team hooligan and they can throw honey in a team with ray and mighty would just be cool

[@thevenomspino]

We wish team hooligan could appear in modern game (besides a reference in the idw comics) we would love to see them a bosses or a heroes like game with them. Can you do a video on the prototype Metal Sonics aka Silver Sonic from Sonic 2 8 bit, Silver/Mecha/Robo Sonic from Sonic 2 16 bit, Mecha Sonic from S3AK, and maybe the unknown robot or Silver Sonic Mk2 from Sonic Adventure

[@lollycarola]

Doilus video?!?

[@TheJebusCheese]

did someone say sonic BONUS VIDEO?

[@mr.k3221]

I wish i was a game developer and gather around a buch of people and direct a sonic the figthers 2 with more characters, customation, more stages, more moves and mechanics and reach out to sega and be like sonic mania with the hole fan developer thingy. It would have many sega references like virtua figther, figthing vipers, figthers megamix and more, you could cuztomize sonic to look like asura/scourge, pink knuckles, adventures of sonic tails, rainbow espio, sonic. exe or just regular classic sonic with tge soap shoes. Characters could have moves similar to other characters apart from their sonic like moves and original moves from sonic the figthers or other games. The game would have modern graphics and remakes of classic stages but could olso have retro skins like they did for vf4 annyversary and vf5 ultinate showdown I imagine knucles with something like muai thai and having some moves like brad burns and maybe some wrestling moves like wolf and he could jump the wall and glide to move or attack, sonic apart from having his sonic like moves (sonic the fighers/smash) could have somewhat of a jacky brian flair with the fast kicks, bark wouls be defenetly jeffrey and espio kage.
