Are These Sonic Characters REAL or FAKE?

How is it possible to not know scourge

[@CyberdustStudios]

Man this dude coping hard

[@Crooked_Mantis]

@JGCrblx He doesn’t know how important (to an irritating degree) the Knuckles spin-off series was to the Archie Comic lore, and so insists that it can hardly be considered canon Sonic material. So he firmly feels he should get a half point for Rob O the Hedge. (Of course, take it lightly, he’s just been saying this stuff in jest. It’s a good bit.)

[@leifsilva4816]

Same!

[@Kev-D-OG]

Seelkadoom and Aeon showing up was actually a crazy nostalgia hit 😭

[@dejinnthedjinn5311]

I do know there was a modern fan animation that featured them, don't remember the name unfortunately.

[@J.R.Unbound]

10:59 Yup, Scourge is pronounced like "urge" with a "Sc" at the front. The name was pitched by Ian Flynn (since he got the name and redesign simultaneously), and that's how he says it (he was just called "Anti-Sonic" before, I think). Also, I believe the first "e" in Mike Pellerito's surname is soft, and Patrick "Spazinate"'s last name is actually Spaziante (pronounced "Spaz-ee-an-tay").

Scourge is also just an actual word

[@lackluster4777]

I really hope that you will make more videos like that where you gather a bunch of non Sonic fans and either tell them the craziest most obscure shit like the creepypasta video or make quiz shows with them. I just love the editing and the reactions so much. Next you could do a video about Sonic plots

[@wallaceprower]

I love doing this type of stuff as well. Only issue is I'm running out of Non-Sonic fans in my life haha. Regardless, I got another Sonic characters video lined up next year and I wanna do a bunch more presentation styled videos, so stay tuned haha.

[@snufkinwufkin9247]

[@criesinvariable2493]

haha got 10 out of 10 also extra fun lore for fiona: tails had a crush on her (after finding her robot double on a island then nearly getting roboticized, its a whole thing) while sonic dated her and it caused tails to become the enemy of the state and jail break his father and the only reason sonic dated fiona was cus he broke up with sally and didnt want tails to get his heart broken. Theres also a really funny line that aged like milk of tails saying "SO YOU HOOKED UP WITH FIONA TO HELP ME?!".

[@KOTEBANAROT]

I wont lie stuff like this makes me happy that IDW is watched so closely by Sega I like some Archie stuff, but every single romance, with the SOLE exception of Snively and Iron Queen, was just a pile of garbage lol

[@Iron-Dog75]

Yo, perfect 10/10. Fiona nearly threw me off in the end, since I had no idea when she wore that outfit. But hey, it all worked out, despite the fact that I haven't touched an Archie Comic in my life.

[@xavierwalko4175]

I got em all. 5 official, 2 legendary Flash edgelords, and 3 "WHO?" characters. Nazo would have been the perfect troll, due to him being a offical scraped design turned into a fan character.

[@wallaceprower]

That’s the thing with Nazo! He is such a gray area of a character that idk which category I could put him in. Same with a character like Ashura.

[@TheEpicGBX]

not only did I got all the answers correctly, but I also nearly got the context of where all the characters originated from. I'm very normal about my obsession with Sonic.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

IDW characters actually match the Sonic aesthetic in that they have some sort of theme and ability. That is sorely lacking in a lot of the other continuities. Got 10/10.

[@Xeorboom]

Ian Flynn truly was the saviour of that mediocre run. Every time there was an awful idea, he jumped in to fix it!

[@mr.unsmiley8656]

If by "fix," you mean "make considerably worse," then I agree.

10/10. I know too much, even recognizing the Sonic Boom side character style despite me not watching it

[@LuisNintendoSega]

I got a perfect score, but almost failed because I almost forgot about the fact that Justin Beaver exists XD I haven't watched Sonic Boom in a bit

[@calebgoodman3028]

Planet is called Earth in mainline canon but Mobius is used in non-canon material. Also Scourge is a common word with a definitive pronunciation of which Wallace has said correctly.

[@Kelps.mp4]

No no, it's called SONIC'S WORLD.

[@calebgoodman3028]

@ I have two quotes that say otherwise. "Shadow, what do you think it's like on earth?" and “The forest is the most beautiful place on Earth."

Neg diffed this quiz thanks to my loving that hedgehog on and off since I was like 11. Also that person who said that Amy should get with Eggman was so out of pocket I laughed when you guys just fell silent for a moment and moved past it without comment 😭

[@tubaraofluente]

of course I only missed the Sonic Boom one

[@MantledMimi]

11:44 Another fun fact about Scourge: I can’t remember if it was confirmed or not but i remember seeing that he might’ve been based on a glitch for Sonic 1 (I think) where it would turn sonic green and black. That was then adapted into a character that inspired Scourge’s final design. Again, can’t remember if it was confirmed or not.

Can’t believe you didn’t include Trevor the Hedgehog as one of the characters, I would’ve loved to see you try and make it seem like he’s a real character

[@wallaceprower]

BRO TREVOR IS REAL TO ME.

[@HannahBanina]

Bro shoulda thrown Infinite in there. The heterochromia alone would have gotten _everyone_ doubting.

[@PragmaticProsecutor]

He's from a mainline game and I feel like dunking on him is so popular he wouldn't be nearly as obscure (although I guess if you mean him without his mask I guess not everyone might recognize him)

[@HannahBanina]

I very much mean without his mask. Even with it, though, I don’t expect many people to recognize his origin story (let alone as legit) like Wallace lays them out here unless they’re more-than-casual fans. They can dunk on him all they want in the video, too, because I love my pathetic, fluffy jackal boy 🖤

[@Random.Girl.]

I got 10/10, but I hate the fact that the only reason I got Affogato right is because I heard his backstory and said "Is that a fucking Bungo Stray Dogs character." I also only got Justin Beaver right because of Courtney (ProjectSNT).

[@isaiahscobel]

If you do a Part 2, can you include some Sonic characters originating from Sonic official social media accounts , like Irish the Hedgehog and Big the Black Cat because they are official characters?

i would love to be on these videos but instead of guessing anything i'd just ramble about the character's history and nothing would be accomplished

[@lance2580]

I still kind of wish that Lilac the Dragon was one of the "fake" Sonic characters listed in this video. She was literally created as a Sonic OC (back in 2001!) and was licensed to be a playable character in _Freedom Planet,_ which also started as a _Sonic_ fan game! (Though she was originally designed as a hedgehog, before being redesigned as a dragon for the obvious legal reasons.)

[@shinkohanasaki1776]

For Fiona Fox's story in the comics. Tails had a huge crush on her, Sonic knew Tails didn't stand a chance with Fiona so he dated her to "help out" Tails which pissed off Tails for like 10 comic issues, they fight over it and Sonic eventually just dumps Fiona which leads to Fiona going to Scourge. not Fiona dumping Sonic for Scourge.

My first 10/10!! The backstories really help. Off as Justin Beaver might feel, no one is going to make an oc so detached from the main character's conflicts. Good counter example being Daniela! Being directly mentored by a notable character like Blaze and having similar powers is more of a fan character thing. Except when it's a Penders character, in which case, the lines are blurry. 😂
