I love his new lines they’re so epic “Are you trying to use Chaos Control? HAH! That power already belongs to me!” “I am the King of all Creation! Nobody can defeat me! Not you, not Sonic, NOT ANYONE!” “As if I could be challenged by an imposter like you!”

[@Signerdragon123]

Man, if Infinite does manage to make the cut for the boss roster, I can already imagine what the back and forth between him and Shadow's already going to sound like.

[@Devinwifi]

​@Signerdragon123 The banter between Shadow and Mephiles would be good too. Same with Sonic

[@Spikas]

"Quit Screwing around!"

[@TheCoolguymanly]

Pretty sure it's "As if I could be challenged by an imposter like you!" which is also a neat little callback to the old Sonic and Shadow faker scene.

[@kinghyperheart1571]

@@Spikas I thought the same as you on first hearing it, but it's actually "Quit *scurrying* around", basically Overlord telling Shadow to hold still.

[@galaxycamerata]

"AS IF I COULD BE CHALLENGED BY AN IMPOSTOR LIKE _YOU!_ " I half expected Shadow to reply with "You're not even good enough to be _his_ fake." Overall I love the vibe of his animations here. Usually bosses this large are either lumbering beasts with very quick claws, or Eggman mechs that have very stilted and firm motions to them. Metal Overlord feels like he's become a living, breathing, impossible monster. He's enormous, yet still somehow graceful in how he moves. And it feels like, as is customary for Sonic, like he's doing it to try and style on the person he's facing. But like METAL Sonic usually does... it means he doesn't really pay attention to what's going on around him.

[@steveluvscows2490]

"Impostor? YOU'RE the impostor here, and you're comparing yourself to ME? Pathetic." "...you're not even good enough to be HIS fake."

[@SquidbeakCaptain]

If he did, Metal would probably respond with a aggressive "I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS!".

[@thegreatcaboose7744]

I like how if you try to use Chaos Control, Metal Overlord uses it back so he can keep moving while the rest of time is frozen. It’s a cool way to not only callback to him being able to use it in Heroes, but to also prevent you from cheesing the boss by catching up to it instantly.

[@DemonLord99204]

Well he did have the Ultimate Life-Form data along with the data of Chaos and with the power he can do that.

[@AndrewR-y5u]

Pretty sure metal overlord kinda had the chaos control ability in heroes since he said the chaos control ability why that power belongs to him

[@Amsel_616]

​@@AndrewR-y5uHe does, he collected DNA data of Sonic, Shadow and Chaos (due to Chocola and Froggy).

[@darkyozora1222]

@@DemonLord99204 he had all that data and still got dropped by a base form shadow. It makes me wonder if shadow could’ve easily beaten metal back in heroes without super form or maybe the doom power gave him a zenkai boost that let him far surpass metal lmfaoo.

[@jourdanfarquharson4697]

​@@darkyozora1222 its to show how much stronger base shadow and sonic are now since base sonic can now canonically beat perfect chaos in base form. Plus shadow has a superior handling of chaos abilities and is much stronger now that he has tapped into his black doom dna

Well, he has copied the power of Sonic, his friends, as well as Chaos; and since the Biolizard was the prototype of Shadow, it would make sense Metal could have the potential to copy its voice.

​@@metalsonic4.1therobothedge24That's normal for Generations. It's exactly what happened for Perfect Chaos in the original. It kind of shows how much more powerful the characters have become.

[@RoseSupreme]

I wish SEGA would let Metal speak again outside his Overlord and Neo forms.

[@UltraSTH]

It’s refreshing to see a version of Metal Sonic that doesn’t go down in under a minute in Generations, the original Metal Sonic rival fight was cool but being able to interrupt 95% of his moves made it a little too easy even for a first boss. Although I do find it interesting that in both fights, you’re constantly chasing Metal or being chased, and at the very end, he gets ANNIHILATED by a kick attack

[@Moa.G-g8t]

I like how well this boss represents what Metal Overlord is supposed to be, with the much bigger emphasis on him having the powers of Perfect Chaos, being a combination of it along with Sonic and Shadow. Also, the over the top cheesy voice lines are great.

[@gundamgamer7060]

OH, I can't believe I never realized that Metal Overlord's draconic design was a Perfect Chaos reference!

[@enlongjones2394]

@@gundamgamer7060 yeah. I remember how he would turn into Liquid Metal in Heroes. Back then, I assumed he was able to absorb and control all the metal from Eggman’s battleships, similar to how Chaos absorbed and controlled the water of the ocean to make a giant body for himself.

[@Senkoki]

there was also a nod to this in the original Japanese of Heroes where he'd somewhat quote the description of Leviathan, a biblical aquatic beast that likely inspired Perfect Chaos

[@heheheiamasupahflyingace3921]

[@Woodnsus]

I'm fascinated that Final Fortress was conceptualized as an underwater base. There were elements in the game that hinted on the ocean being key, like Eggman's flying ships, that I just shrugged off. Metal Overlord being an amalgamation of the shipwreck is a beautiful concept.

[@thegreatcaboose7744]

tbf I’m pretty sure this is Spaceport from Forces retooled somewhat because the aesthetic resembles Final Fortress, rather than having to make new assets for Final Fortress from scratch just for a boss fight. Base Generations did the same thing with Chemical Plant for Starlight Speedway during the Metal Sonic boss too.

like the fact they remember that metal overlord used chaos control in the boss fight with supersonic. and new chaos control interaction seems like both beings with chaos control can move in stop time. which is weird because in sonic heroes super sonic could not move even though sonic knows how to use it chaos control strange. might be a plot hole there.

[@galaxycamerata]

The trick is that Metal Overlord's use of Chaos Control is actually STRONGER than most. 20 seconds of stopped time is nothing to scoff at even if it can be shortened to 10 with some struggling.

[@darkintimebreaker]

@@galaxycamerata yes in the game he has a strong 20 seconds time stop but seems like power wise its no different from shadow because they both can move while time has stopped. if shadow has no chaos emerald here in this fight he is equal to shadow base chaos powers which makes sense he just copied how to use it. but if shadow in this point in the story uses a emerald before sonic takes it in generations that's impressive by metal overlord that's a huge feet chaos control spam with no emerald is crazy

[@jersont.3339]

​@@darkintimebreakerone of three, sonic decided to not use chaos control in that fight against overlord just cause, he really only used it in sa2 and i don't remember him using it again even against enemies that were more powerful than him like dark gaia, solaris and the end. Shadow got more powerful so his chaos control also got more powerful, or his doom powers might give him a boost in his chaos powers as well.

As cool as this boss fight is, I'm still a little sad that A. This isn't a Doom Wing fight, and B. Metal _still_ doesn't use Espio's invisibility (it was unused in Heroes, the only evidence we have of this is the voice line of Sonic going "HE'S GONE!"

I really hope that this can carry the momentum from Frontiers. No more Sonic Cycle, just Sonic successes!

[@jboyathegamer]

This is so good but there is no way im gonna memorize all that looks like im gonna have to watch this until the game comes out

[@supercool2447]

Move over Sonic, this is Shadow’s year to shine!

[@GHOSTsteal]

De hecho shadow lo vencio gracias a los doom powers y caos control, sin estos tendria demasiada dificultad.

[@lightchaos4204]

​@@GHOSTsteal You're downplaying Shadow's feat here 🙄

[@delinquentlord581]

Imagine the fight between Shadow and Mephiles like he's going to tell him he's going to make him remember since it's all in different timelines that don't exist anymore. Mephiles is still in Sonic x Shadow generations, but he's aware that he doesn't exist in their current timeline

[@TheShape45]

Shadow and Sonic were confirmed by 2006's director to still remember the events of Sonic 06

[@Fabriccio-]

​@@TheShape45Wait, really? As far as I understand, only Blaze remembers the events of Sonic 2006 (She makes it clear with her dialogue in Sonic Generations), could you pass me your source?

@@jonathanarellano6750 la súper forma es una forma que tiene energía PURA (a comparación de shadow) y que puede potenciar al poseedor de la Super forma, y se podría decir que la súper forma es un escudo muy poderoso y que te invulneravilidad, a diferencia de knucles y tails QUE ES OTRA COSA ya que ellos estan protegidos por un escudo mas no les da invulneravilidad ya que seguiran con sus habilidades de su forma base, y aunque el escudo que tienen los protege y los ayuda a atacar, PERO para nada están al nivel de supersonic, asi que la forma super y los escudos son muy diferentes en términos de casi todo (digo casi ya que los escudos son energía de la Super forma a si que se podría decir que la durabilidad de la super forma = a los escudos de knucles y tails, pero en poder y habilidades para nada estan al nivel de Sonic). Segundo, en serio vas a creer a eggman el mismo que dijo que el fantom Ruby era más poderoso que la Master emerald cuando ni siquiera sabe el verdadero poder de la Master emerald, solo los ekidnas pueden desarmar su verdadero poder.

This is peak! Thanks stadium

[@dforond]

NO FUCKING WAY METAL SONIC TALKED, HE FUCKING TALKED WHEN IT WAS THE LAST TIME THAT WE SAW METAL SONIC TALKING

[@JLuisJoni]

Last time he "talked" in a game was Generations with the speech bubbles when you approached him, but properly voiced? It was Heroes, 20 years ago.

[@thevenomspino]

Technically, IDW. But in terms of games, like Heroes (not counting the speech bubble he had in Generations itself)

[@Spider-Sonic_Prime]

Shadow didn't need the Chaos Emeralds to defeat Metal Overlord just like how Sonic didn't even need the Emeralds to defeat Perfect Chaos!

[@GHOSTsteal]

Te equivocas, de hecho shadow uso el caos energy (puro, ya que la caos energy de shadow es un poco artificial y además que la sangre doom lo contra resta) directamente de una caos emerald, e incluso lo explica en IDW creo que la saga en dónde se enfrenta a varios shadow androids, además de que los doom powers son power UPS más no habilidades suyas, así que shadow tuvo que necesitar una caos emerald y los doom Powers para vencerlo.

[@casualamber]

WHAT I'M MADE OF?!

[@DemonDethchase]

With What I'm Made Of being brought back, I feel it will be a missed moment not to add the orchestra to it, given it is part of the Sonic Symphony setlist. So they could easily lift a soundboard recording from a show, if they were trying to save money with having an orchestra in a studio.

[@SquishMTR]

It's very possible that this is just a placeholder (They used 3DS Supporting Me as a placeholder in a lot of preview footage for the Biolizard boss after all)

[@spongebobfan78]

I mean, didn't the first b-roll footage had the music from the original games but the demo (and by extension, the full release) has the remixes? It might be the same case here where they're just using the original What I'm Made Of song then it's a remix of it (or a different track) on the actual release.

[@DASH596]

Who knows, this is probably still placeholder music for all we know

[@nikucabj97]

​@@spongebobfan78the demo has te remixes, though Supporting Me is only with the new instrumental, which I like more than with the lyrics

[@skrellb9659]

Honestly i like how generation games highlight how strong Sonic and Shadow have gotten. Sonic needed his super state for Perfect chaos but was able to get the job done in his normal. Now shadow can beat metal overlord who it took the combine strengths of Super Sonic, Knuckles, and tails

[@rjohn00]

Like dbs goku vegeta getting stronger

It might be red forces chemical plant but they cleary want do final fortress impression so WOW ITS FINAL FORTRESS 😮

[@nrtwong5379]

God, love the heroes throwback, the final boss BGM, metal’s voice, but the concept of how one mere ultimate lifeform took down a boss single-handedly instead of 3 “super” heroes really blew my mind😮😮

[@justinwilliam6534]

This is awesome I’m pretty sure there as many bosses in Shadow’s story as in Generations with 4 main bosses and so far we’ve seen 2 which means 2 might be yet to be seen including Devil Doom and one other boss possibly Mephiles from Sonic 06.

[@Cutie_Nepgear]

Metal Sonic sounds like either Kirk Thorton or Dave B. Mitchell. I hear a bit of SC6 Nightmare and a bit of MK11 Sektor

[@Neo-Metal17]

Never thought I'd see this boss return, and What I'm Made of came with it.

[@Savagewolver]

Now THIS is the ultimate power.

[@BoltBlades12]

And to think Shadow was able to solo Metal Overlord without the use of Chaos Emeralds. Where it originally took Super Sonic, Super Tails, and Super Knuckles to defeat him originally. - even they struggled throughout the fight, only being able to damage Metal via Team Blast.

[@firestarsantos7467]

To be fair, Sonic beat Chaos without them in classic generations so he also got stronger....can't say the same for tails and knuckles though.

[@BoltBlades12]

@@firestarsantos7467 Though originally, only Sonic needed to go Super to beat Perfect Chaos. With Metal Overlord, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles had to go Super in a 3v1 to win. - Eggman literally stated that even with the Emeralds, their chances of victory were slim.

[@tyrus_kitt]

​@@BoltBlades12That would imply Percect Chaos was playtime for Sonic in Generations, since in this same game he beats Shadow, wich we already see being able to take down Metal Overlord

[@treybrzezowski3259]

I never thought I'd witness the return of the Strongest form of the Coolest Sonic Villain, and yet here I am squealing with excitement like a little girl! They brought him to Modern Graphics _flawlessly,_ He's actually a Zippy and Agile boss despite being so big, he mocks Shadow for using Chaos control because he already has that power copied, AND THEY LET HIM KEEP WHAT I'M MADE OF INSTEAD OF GIVING HIM A NEW AND PROBABLY WORSE BOSS THEME!
