@@silvskill5358 Yeah definitely a close second. That song is great. I'd put Follow Me in third and We Can in last. I don't hate it but it's a little too preachy even by Heroes standards.
I think that the Chaotix’s lack of importance in Heroes is actually what makes them interesting. In a lot of media, we tend to forget that there is stuff happening all around the world, whilst we are watching the heroes defeating evil. The Chaotix are basically just doing an arguable less important job, whilst getting thrown into similar scenarios. Canonical in Heroes, they technically haven’t encountered Eggman before the Egg Hawk boss battle, but battle him anyway to uphold their policy and protect themselves, or even any of the main cast. And yet, their story is still relevant as they help Eggman get out the prison cell, whilst arguably being the only ones to piece together that the Eggman they were fighting was fake. That’s my opinion anyway.
@Stan Brule Well, I was referring to when they first met fake Eggman, when they originally thought it was the real Eggman. You are correct that they did meet Eggman properly at the end of their story, but I do find it interesting that the Chaotix didn’t have much interaction with Eggman whatsoever before the first boss.
I like to think that Espio's funny and more entertaining side is that fact that he can be way to serious at times and is spouting words of wisdom for the most average as situations like they can all be super serious at times even charmy but they all can be super funny in their own right even Espio lol
Espio is definitely a comedic character. It is more obvious in japanese as he speaks with archaic overtones and has his own goofy catchphrase "Fukaku" which he says every time he gets hit or otherwise fails.
@@KOTEBANAROT He goes from badass to a sarcastic dorky teen with passive aggressive issues and i stan it Come to think of it, he was like that in Sonic x too Wait what does "fukaku" mean?
Yeah, don't forget the part in Journey To The East part 4 when Constant Vigil allows Espio to go back to Angel Island and he's so happy that he says "But I- you just - YES! Thank you Mother! Gah! I mean Master, please forgive my outburst! Here's how I think the other characters would react: Constant Vigil: (sighs) Espio, I think it's a little too late for that. 😲😩😑 Sonic: Ooooh, guess we now know YOUR big secret Espio 😆 Tails: I am seriously considering telling the Chaotix and everyone else about this. 😨😄 Monkey Khan : Forget about the location of Sally's royal birthmark, this is way more interesting than that! 😄😃😆 Sally: KEN! !!!! 😠😲 Monkey Khan : Sorry.😯 Espio: Aye yie yie! 😱😩
I honestly can't get annoyed by team chaotix. I love every single member and all the dialogue they have with eachother and can never not have a good time watching them do their thing. Here's to hoping someday they get some spotlight.
I always loved Vector cause he fused SO many traits that make a loveable oaf. He's big and loud, often butting in and giving his two cents at the drop of a hat. But even still, he's a good man. People often forget that Vector is 20 years old, making him the oldest hero in the sonic franchise (Shadow may technically be 50+ years old, but he was in stasis for almost all his life). Despite not being able to fit in too well with the rest of the gang, he still gives everything he's got into protecting and helping others. It's no secret that Vector is almost always in a tight spot with money in the games/shows he appears in, often caused by spending most of his time taking free jobs for people in dire need but can't afford to pay. Even though he's a bit of an arrogant hot head and a loud mouth, he's still incredibly intelligent. He's canonically the best detective in the Sonic universe, often seeing through the Villain's plan before anyone else in the entire cast, even beating Tails to the punch. Not to mention he pretty much raises Charmy, a six year old without parents, on his own as a sort of Big Bro (Or father if that's more your speed). Vector is SUCH an underrated character, He's just such a loveable croc!
He’s more or less the series’ big legacy character dating back to Sonic 1’s early development and had he made it into the game, he’d be Sonic’s own Jim Gordon. Being there from day one.
Back when I 1st played Sonic Heroes, like when I was a kid, these guys were always my favorite. They just have such a great friendship, and hopefully they get used better soon.
@Zylo Wolf 2.0 It's just unfortunate the American/Western focus will largely consist of people like Egoraptor brainlessly screeching about everything related to Sonic being awful.
I think The Chaotix should get their own game. We should get a Knuckles Chaotix revival that focuses on the characters themselves and their interactions. Knuckles should be thrown in for some name power for casual fans honestly. Basically redo Chaotix the right way. Get rid of Heavy and Bomb. Mighty can come along too. It should just be Knuckles, Espio, Vector, Charmy and Mighty. Mighty's character should be a strong and capable mercenary. And the gameplay has to be good. Honestly have a combination of levels, like platforming and face to face combat, and also have some mystery solving levels to fit the Detective theme of the squad. Basically the game should be story driven, serious but with some light comedy, heavy focus on combat with some focus on precision platforming with characters having different abilities that make them all unique and alternating between them has advantages and disadvantages.
A lot of people didn't release how important their Roles and Mission was in Shadow the Hedgehog. Each one of their Missions was essential for the Final Story. Charmy had to get Disks from G.u.n, Espio had to "Hack" into Eggman Computer and Vector had to "FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM"!!!! in the Ark. All leading up to the Reveal Of the Eclipse Cannon True Purpose. We don't know who hired the Chaotix to do this. (Most obviously is Rouge since she has connections to all 3 Locations.)But I would love for this Secret Client to keep giving Them task that inadvertently helps Sonic and His Friends to save the world. Keeping his identity a secret and still paying the Chaotix.
shiro maekawa the writer for sonic from sonic adventure 1 1998 to black knight 2009 said he loved writing for team chaotix in sonic heroes and said he would like to write a spin off game for them but sega must bring back maekawa for ever since 2010s he was not the writer
@@castform7 It would probably be heavy on comedy (I.e. the case getting more abused as the story progresses). Maybe we’ll get some insight on how Charmy came to be with the Chaotix.
Vector is honestly one of my favourite characters. The dude gets so much complexity (for Sonic) and is honestly my pick for most underatted character in Sonic
Agreed also Vector is my favorite sonic character since love his design crocodiles are my favorite reptiles and loved his personality being the friendly muscle of the Chaotix I even have a Vector plushie
It seems like he’s a big favourite with Sega since he’s the character that appears the most away from the rest of his team including appearing Sonic Boom. It probably helps he’s an element from Sonic’s pre-development days that lived to see the current day and Knuckles Chaotix just happens to be the first game where they decided to debut him to the whole world. Unlike the rest of the cast from the Classic Era, we’ve only seen Classic Era Team Chaotix once and who knows if Jakks will ever do figures of all three. We got Mighty and Ray back in Mania Plus with new art before we have any updated artwork of Classic Chaotix. Archie’s more or less the last time we have official art of lanky Vector.
They were pretty neat but Espio was given much more of a comedy factor; they made him look a bit incompetent. He had the cool ninja skills and invisibility, but he'd often blow his cover through an unforeseen variable. I honestly don't mind the angle of a serious ninja always seeking self-improvement but always failing though, kinda fits well with the rest of the gang.
There are many reasons why I like The Chaotix from Sonic Heroes and then in some other games. They have a pretty unique chemistry, which made them so memorable. Vector is that kind of boss who has an hyper-active helper and a silent, but a pretty cool ninja agent.
@@pokeymaster9415 Croc and a Rabbit. Gotta admit I find it cute but I wonder how Cream a Vectors dynamic would change or evolve if they ever became official.
I kind of wish that you mentioned how Espio is a very justice-seeking seeking character, being one of the rare sonic characters who are actually ready to kill at a moment's notice and it isn't even limited to just robots. Thinking that Eggman in Heroes was actually the real deal, Espio threatened to murder him in cold blood multiple times. In the comics too, i think Espio was ready to off Eggman the second he was discovered to have suffered amnesia, having no reason or way to defend himself.
I don’t really see TSR as him ‘ditching’ Espio and Charmy, since they were off doing work behind the shadows while Vector played along with Dodonpa’s races. The Chaotix don’t have to always be together to work as a team - like in Shadow, where Charmy is searching Prison Island on his own for the disks, Espio infiltrates Mad Matrix alone, and Vector scouts out the ARK for the Computer Room alone. One of my favourite tidbits about Vector is that while he loves money, he also can’t stop giving it to the more needy, leaving the Chaotix constantly broke. A tough guy with a heart of gold XD Vanilla, notice this man already! Also, Espio totally gives me Goemon vibes. Except, y’know, a ninja instead of a samurai.
Team Chaotix are pretty underrated too. And I think it’s called Team Chaotix because it can get chaotic with them around. But without Espio it would be even more chaotic.
the chaotix are funny but also lovable. I also really liked the stuff with them in IDW's Zombot virus arc. I would love to play a chaotix game that is essentially a detective game. Also I'd like to see Mighty and Ray in more story focused stuff aside from Archie.
I would love to hear about their backstory and how they got together. My headcanon goes as follows: Vector: since he is obsessed with money and recognition I imagine he had a rough childhood and leaves home to make of something of himself. Charmy: Lost his parents and wandered about until he crossed paths with the other two, making them basically his only family. Espio: Was part of a ninja clan and was either exiled or left of his own free will to find his own goal
I mean their Archie adaptations were like that espio is from a ninja clan, charmy did left his home wandered the world until he crossed paths with the others also his parents did die at one point while vector is basically what you said
In Sonic the Comic, they were protectors of the zones with Mighty and Fang as apart of their ranks though the latter would betray them. Charmy’s also a Prince there. Mighty has another family member Blockhead Bill that isn’t in the pre-Archie Canon. Fang is the Preparation Batman meme and less comedic than his other incarnations. This Fang would straight up tell Trip she’d be his partner or else at gunpoint. The Chaotix has Lord Sidewinder, an aristocratic crime boss with his own gang at his disposal who’s more or less their own Dr Eggman in terms of being the guy they’re regularly going up against. The Upperclass Killer to their Columbo.
In Knuckles Chaotix japanese manual, is already said that Espio is a spy. Charmy got to the island of that gane looking for flowers, Vector was there looking for miracles of God (i am not kidding). But Espio was there because he was spying Eggman evil deeds. So is likely that they all reunited together at that point for a common goal, make money (since is also said Vector likes money) by using Espio spying skills.
"Vector popping his head to the radio". Uhh that was their Theme Song. But if their Theme song is on the Radio cant see how they are not Getting Clients. I would hire them after listening to that.
I’d dare say that since the song doesn’t actually have any relevant information, such as an address or phone number, not a lot of people know how to get into contact with them, not to mention how the song probably costed a lot of money and the agency couldn’t afford any effective advertising or risk not paying rent, as a result. But I agree. I would also hire them from their song alone.
@@ge789 They could Alaways put their Information at the End of the Song but yeah I do find it funny that Vector Spent all this Money on Advertising the Business in a Song to put on the Radio only for him to forget to put their Contact info. That would be such A Vector Move.
2:41 a note about that-the reason he even did that is because he was copying what shadow did in another story when they were trying to hack a computer, which i think is an adorable detail because it ties into what you said about him copying people he looks up to
3:49 Giving advice to people when they’re depressed.” Vector to someone going through suicidal depression: “Hey, don’t got there...yet.” Yep that’s some grade A advice to give to someone who wants to off themself
Team Chaotix makes up the classic comic trio. Vector is the Schemer, leading the group into different antics. Charmy is the Follower, going along without complaint. Espio is the Ignored, recognizing the inanity of their actions only for his pleas to go unheard.
Espio has always been one of my favorites and the team as a whole is such a charming gang of good guys on the grind making a living. Really wish they make a comeback as a team in a future game not just as supports.
THANK GOODNESS SOMEONE MADE THIS VIDEO! These three, I can passionately state are my favorite sonic characters without question! I loved the backstory Archie gave espio, I love the way charmy was an actual prince, and how vector was just some dude that all somehow met together and became the best of friends. And even in the modern canon, they still remain the best and most fun characters able to bounce of eachother and the cast, with vector being my favorite of the three. He’s just one cool croc!
@@Whocares158 Hey, this is a two month old comment, and the info you just stated..... I already knew? I just said I like the backstories Archie gave, I didn’t say they were canon??? Go correct people somewhere else.
Team Chaotix are my favorite characters besides Sonic himself. I always relate to Espio with my quiet and introverted nature and sensitive hearing (I'm on the spectrum), but I also relate to Vector for my big heart and sense of humor.
What makes them interesting to me is that they have could easily fallen into obscurity much like with Mighty and Ray and other characters due the way kunkules' chatoix turn out had not been for Sonic Heroes guess it's another reason to love Heroes
Espio is basically Shadow if Shadow had a normal life and i always liked it. and YES I simply adore them, theyre literally the perfect side characters. Shiro Maekawa even said that while he loves Shadow he would actually want to make a game focusing on Chaotix.
I remember back in your collab with Ruby of Blue how Vector should've been a leader of the Resistance, since he leads the Chaotixs and has really good detective skills and social skills.
I came up with abit of backstory for Charmy. He wasn't always so loud and excitable, in fact once upon a time he was a nice quiet little boy, following around Vector and Espio. Then one day at the diner Vector would go to for his coffee, Charmy would ask for one too. Espio would try and insist to Vector that he doesn't think it's such a good idea, considering how strong he takes his coffee but is distracted by cakes which are going by in the display cabinet. Seeing no reason why Charmy shouldn't have coffee, Vector orders two. One for himself and one for Charmy. "Here you go, kid," says the croc, throwing the little bee the coffee. Then after taking a single sip, a bolt of electricity races through Charmy's brain and his eyes widen before guzzling down the coffee in a single glup. Then before Vector can start his own coffee it's snatched by Charmy, declaring "it's mine!" before drinking down in the one go. Then overhearing the giggling little bee, Espio turns his attention to see the once quiet Charmy flying round the diner like a madman. "Vector! I told you that was a bad idea!" Espio would say. However he'd feel partly responsible being distracted thanks to his sweet tooth feeling like he must train harder to avoid temptation getting the better of him like that again, all while Vector wishes he had actually listened but would never admit it to Espio given he'd never hear the end of it. That was one year ago and Charmy still hasn't comedown from his caffeine high, despite only having two coffees.
8:08 i love how you made Espio's singing sound all cool even though he doesn't sound like that in game. It's kinda hard to hear but he's literally singing in a tone deaf voice like someone who doesn't know who to sing but still doing it anyone
They're pretty much Timon & Pumbaa if they had a third person. Man, do I wish they make a cameo in the next Sonic film. Dwayne Johnson as Vector, Kate Miccuci as Charmy, and Keanu Reeves as Espio.
Honestly I would LOVE to see a spin-off Chaotix game where they actually do detective things and showcase their competence rather than their comedy. Don't get me wrong, I adore their comedy - their dynamic interplay is brilliant as their personalities are such a great balance - but I want to actually see them solve a genuine mystery. One where Eggman isn't the villain for once (though he could be involved). I want to see them looking for clues, interviewing people, snapping around restricted areas, keeping up their occasional bumbling and bickering but actually being DETECTIVES. This might not be like a mainstream Sonic game, I realize, but it would be so cool to actually see them doing their actual jobs without running through loop-de-loop levels picking up rings and looking for hermit crabs. I want them to be the focus, not the background. There is so much potential for all these characters. Vector comes across as funny and kinda goofy but he's also pretty sharp, and he IS the leader, calling the shots and keeping everyone moving in the right direction. Espio is very serious and focused, but he can have moments of dry humor too. He keeps everyone focused on important details and grounds the rest of the team. Charmy provides enthusiasm and drive, even if it isn't always useful, his passion and excitement alway keep the others excited to press forward. He also sometimes ask questions or do things that seem stupid at first, but they end up leading to much more important discoveries. TL;DR, I really like the Chaotix and I wish SEGA would use them for more than just comedy, even though they're really good at comedy.
The way you described them in the beginning I was comparing them to another adult swim show. Espio is like Huey, Charmy is like Riley, and Vector is like granddad in The Boondocks
I love how far discourse has come from the “sonics friends are stupid” talking point. The chaotix are amazing and I couldn’t agree more with your analysis of how they work as a comedy trio. Great video as usual my dude!
These guys are why I started giving simple, normal sort of goals to my D&D characters There’s something so funny about an interesting character in a cool fantasy setting who has goals like “I wanna pay rent this month”
I really want to know Why Espio A Ninja is part of a Detective Agency. I know in the Archie comics they Sort of Explain Why but I need the canon version.
@@LDtheBrachio In that universe Espio comes from a country in the East called the Dragon Kingdom. Specifically, he comes from the Shinobi ninja clan, which has a rivalry with other three ninja clans (Raiju, Gossamer and Yagyu). Each clan has a matriarch who is called "bride" (the bride of the Shinobi is also Espio's mother). The rest of the story gets explained better in the Archie issues 202 to 212 and in sonic universe 13 to 16
@@LDtheBrachio Back when the Chaotix wasn't a Detective agency but but of Knuckles' Freedom Fighters. Espio was sent by his Chameleon Ninja clan to Spy on Knuckles and The Master Emerald only revealing himself if the Situation called for it. He would later help Knuckles and join his Chaotix team. But that was before they became a Detective Agency and I think story still continues from back when they was a Part of Knuckles. They was Part if Knuckles team than later down the Line they became a Detective Agency minus Knuckles, Mighty and Ray. Clearly the Agency is a Retcon but Archie try to Combine both Stories. I want the New Story. I wouldn't mind if Espio is Still Connected to His Ninja Family and The Brides. (Just to be Clear I gave you a Really Shorten Version of Espio History in Archie).
Exactly! They were together in Forces, yet they didn't really interact much (or at all?). With is such a waste, why did they brought them in the game at all?
@@d0tty Yes because all of the characters they brought in were shuffed aside, in favor of more Classic Sonic, infinite and Rocky. Mostly because none of these 3 where actual characters.
@@michia3765 classic sonic should have his own games. Infinite is well... The oc has no personality. And sonic was annoying in the 2010s. And Eggman will never be as good as he was in sa2
Unfortunately, i feel like their own game will ruin them. We all know that many characters' personalities have been changed or misinterpreted, so maybe it would be better if our three boys stayed in the shadows, at least they won't be ruined
Being the only detective team, they actually do their job correctly. I'm sure no one except Eggman dislikes them. Chaotix are my favourite team for many reasons. Espio is the serious and calm one, while also being embarrassed at what his friends do. Charmy is just the one who basically does what Vector does. And Vector just goofs around
Another thing I like about Heroes!Espio is that he was a bit of a chuunibyo/edgelord, but in a good way. You already mentioned his lyrics. There's also his line when you finish the Egg Hawk fight: "Death to the evil one! Prepare to die, Eggman!". There's also when you get an A rank: "Impossible feat! Ultimate ninja power!".
Hands down my favorite sonic characters in the franchise! I can't get enough of their antics and the major amounts of TMNT energy they give off. Huge props for giving this underrated trio their due.
They deserve their own video game. It could be a normal sonic adventure game but with some elements of LA Noire where the Chaotix investigate and look for clues as they solve mysteries. You can definitely make a really good game if you get the right team for it.
Give them a whole slice of life series of short episodes where they just have funny interactions with other Sonic characters and/or new characters where they just get into the wildest situations while trying to do their job. Flesh them out, have your mix of relaxing, heartfelt moments with comedy and flesh out more of Sonic's world while you're at it. Or, you know, make that into a single short movie, with voice acting, animated by Marza animation planet, the guys most well known for animation Night of the Werehog. That sounds cool to me, at least on paper
Haven't even watched it yet but I fully agree! They're my favorite characters, besides Sonic and Knuckles. I wish they appeared more in the games! Let's hope that they are in Sonic Prime!!
These guys are awesome I hope they're playable in future games And i have always dream of an open world game for the Chaotix with a Detective plot, the main cast doesn't have to appear just create a new antagonist (the smarter the better) and why not, add the Hooligans as criminal and their rivals
In one of the comics I think it might have been (don't know which era) Espio and Charmy end up getting into an argument because Charmy said pirates are cooler then ninja and they bickered like both of they were children and Espio complains to Vector who is so done with they nonsense. The comics defiantly leaned in the comedic side for the Chaotix. Anyway but what I was getting at is that I personally believe the reason Espio and Charmy don't seem to talk to each other in the SH is because they always end up arguing over something stupid
Y'know it's funny how the further a character is from the spotlight, better and more well treated they are. But yeah I love these goofs. They really are great use of not overbearing comic relief unlike two primary coloured robots (I like Orbot and Cubot but they can be a bit much sometimes). They're guys you don't take too seriously but would love to see more of.
Yesss!! A video on the Chaotix! I love them so much and this video has remade them my favorite team again lol, Charmy's still one of my favorite characters
I love this! Theyre also my favourite team after Heroes, and I've always wanted to see them head to head with Team babylon. The dynamic is similar, and I feel like Wave and Espio would hit it off beautifully. Both are smart, the level headed ones, and they seem like they should be the leaders of their teams. Vector and Jet are pretty much lead by money, and Charmy and Storm are the comic relief / dumb or silly ones.
Another parallel between Team Chaotix and Aqua Teen Hunger Force... The two trios are detectives! Or rather in the latter's case, former detectives, after the show became even more bizarre! XD
@@charactersin-depth3472 it's okay! i was wondering of your doing an episode video on not just Orbot and Cubot, but also every comedic & serious relief Henchmen that Eggman had in various sonic media over the years, & how the shape-bots failed miserably at being funny and give us nothing else to offer! But alright I understand & accept your terms. Thank You.
I just love Vector so much as a character for how surprisingly balanced he is in terms of personality traits. Like you pointed out, Vector has personality shades of both Espio and Charmy sometimes leaning into one extreme (Charmy's hyper goofy demeanor) and sometimes into the other extreme (Espio's utterly serious and stoic demeanor). You just don't expect someone like Vector with such a "manly" appearance to have such a balanced personality. The fatherly Croc is just such a perfect middle ground between his two fellow comrades making him the perfect leader for Team Chaotix (not literally perfect because everyone has some sort of flaw but still an amazing leader). And yet, Vector still is respectable enough to treat Espio as his equal letting his expert ninja skills take the lead a lot of the time and entrusting Charmy to carry out some tasks so he can grow and learn to be a great detective like him and Espio. Vector will always be the ultimate beast Dad/Uncle figure to me because of his balanced personality! 🤩✊🔥🐊
I would love to see team chaotix come back in any future sonic installation. Heck i would even be apposed to cream the rabbit, cheese, the babylon rogues, mighty the armadillo, ray the flying squirrel, sticks the badger, marine the raccoon, fang the hunter, bean the dynamite, bark the polar bear or trip the sungazer appearing in any future sonic game. Yes i chose alot of obscure characters and i think its because they havent gotten much compared to other characters
I really hope that they either get referenced in the 3rd Sonic movie, or show up in a show that takes place after the 3rd Sonic movie that expands the lore unless they plan on a 4th Sonic movie
i really enjoy their dynamic in the idw comics honestly. they really embody that original (well. heroes) dynamic well, where they work together super well and slightly annoy each other all the time (lovingly). also, they get some harder-hitting emotional stuff during the metal virus arc which i find compelling. i think it balances their comedy with their actual detective work focus pretty well.
in the chaotix ultimate. for some reason you get rings for every robot you killed using it. guess the bots didnt find any tomatoes to throw at them during their singing. so they just used rings instead. oh and i like how charmy says thank you when he is used as the leader during their ultimate

People often forget that Vector is 20 years old, making him the oldest hero in the sonic franchise (Shadow may technically be 50+ years old, but he was in stasis for almost all his life). Despite not being able to fit in too well with the rest of the gang, he still gives everything he's got into protecting and helping others. It's no secret that Vector is almost always in a tight spot with money in the games/shows he appears in, often caused by spending most of his time taking free jobs for people in dire need but can't afford to pay.
Even though he's a bit of an arrogant hot head and a loud mouth, he's still incredibly intelligent. He's canonically the best detective in the Sonic universe, often seeing through the Villain's plan before anyone else in the entire cast, even beating Tails to the punch. Not to mention he pretty much raises Charmy, a six year old without parents, on his own as a sort of Big Bro (Or father if that's more your speed). Vector is SUCH an underrated character, He's just such a loveable croc!
He’s more or less the series’ big legacy character dating back to Sonic 1’s early development and had he made it into the game, he’d be Sonic’s own Jim Gordon. Being there from day one.
Back when I 1st played Sonic Heroes, like when I was a kid, these guys were always my favorite. They just have such a great friendship, and hopefully they get used better soon.
@Zylo Wolf 2.0 It's just unfortunate the American/Western focus will largely consist of people like Egoraptor brainlessly screeching about everything related to Sonic being awful.
I think The Chaotix should get their own game. We should get a Knuckles Chaotix revival that focuses on the characters themselves and their interactions. Knuckles should be thrown in for some name power for casual fans honestly. Basically redo Chaotix the right way. Get rid of Heavy and Bomb. Mighty can come along too.
It should just be Knuckles, Espio, Vector, Charmy and Mighty. Mighty's character should be a strong and capable mercenary.
And the gameplay has to be good. Honestly have a combination of levels, like platforming and face to face combat, and also have some mystery solving levels to fit the Detective theme of the squad.
Basically the game should be story driven, serious but with some light comedy, heavy focus on combat with some focus on precision platforming with characters having different abilities that make them all unique and alternating between them has advantages and disadvantages.
@@awesomesmileyguy On the other hand, mania, the movie. and the IDW/Archie comics were all a result of western focus
A lot of people didn't release how important their Roles and Mission was in Shadow the Hedgehog. Each one of their Missions was essential for the Final Story. Charmy had to get Disks from G.u.n, Espio had to "Hack" into Eggman Computer and Vector had to "FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM"!!!! in the Ark. All leading up to the Reveal Of the Eclipse Cannon True Purpose. We don't know who hired the Chaotix to do this. (Most obviously is Rouge since she has connections to all 3 Locations.)But I would love for this Secret Client to keep giving Them task that inadvertently helps Sonic and His Friends to save the world. Keeping his identity a secret and still paying the Chaotix.
They are just as important as Sonic is to be honest.
Ok so everyone agrees that a Team Chaotix game would be amazing yeah?
Yeah. Wonder what it would be like
shiro maekawa the writer for sonic from sonic adventure 1 1998 to black knight 2009 said he loved writing for team chaotix in sonic heroes and said he would like to write a spin off game for them but sega must bring back maekawa for ever since 2010s he was not the writer
@@castform7 most likely a slower paced, combat focused game with different styles depending on the character (stealth, brawling, aerial dogfights)
@@castform7 It would probably be heavy on comedy (I.e. the case getting more abused as the story progresses). Maybe we’ll get some insight on how Charmy came to be with the Chaotix.
@@castform7 Maybe it'll be mission based.
Vector is honestly one of my favourite characters. The dude gets so much complexity (for Sonic) and is honestly my pick for most underatted character in Sonic
Yeah, Sonic characters have a lot of depth compared to other kid franchises
@@Sydney_Angelyt they HAD a lot of depth and character until the 2010s came around
Agreed also Vector is my favorite sonic character since love his design crocodiles are my favorite reptiles and loved his personality being the friendly muscle of the Chaotix I even have a Vector plushie
Facts! He's my second favorite Sonic character.
It seems like he’s a big favourite with Sega since he’s the character that appears the most away from the rest of his team including appearing Sonic Boom. It probably helps he’s an element from Sonic’s pre-development days that lived to see the current day and Knuckles Chaotix just happens to be the first game where they decided to debut him to the whole world.
Unlike the rest of the cast from the Classic Era, we’ve only seen Classic Era Team Chaotix once and who knows if Jakks will ever do figures of all three. We got Mighty and Ray back in Mania Plus with new art before we have any updated artwork of Classic Chaotix. Archie’s more or less the last time we have official art of lanky Vector.
They were also portrayed well in Sonic X. Anyone remembers that?
They were pretty neat but Espio was given much more of a comedy factor; they made him look a bit incompetent. He had the cool ninja skills and invisibility, but he'd often blow his cover through an unforeseen variable. I honestly don't mind the angle of a serious ninja always seeking self-improvement but always failing though, kinda fits well with the rest of the gang.
Yeah I forgot they were in Sonic X
There are many reasons why I like The Chaotix from Sonic Heroes and then in some other games. They have a pretty unique chemistry, which made them so memorable. Vector is that kind of boss who has an hyper-active helper and a silent, but a pretty cool ninja agent.
I feel like People kinda underrate Vector as A character he’s a pretty Out going/Fun Guy. And this video helps explain why I love the guy so much
Also if you saw Sonic x or the idw comics he has some flirt with Vanilla (creams mum) and i love that
@@pokeymaster9415 Croc and a Rabbit. Gotta admit I find it cute but I wonder how Cream a Vectors dynamic would change or evolve if they ever became official.
@@castform7 I guess Vector would be Creams Step-Father which would bring some interesting dynamics with those 2 characters
@@pokeymaster9415 yeah he be simping for Cream’s Mom 😂
@@justcallmekai1554 yup
I kind of wish that you mentioned how Espio is a very justice-seeking seeking character, being one of the rare sonic characters who are actually ready to kill at a moment's notice and it isn't even limited to just robots.
Thinking that Eggman in Heroes was actually the real deal, Espio threatened to murder him in cold blood multiple times. In the comics too, i think Espio was ready to off Eggman the second he was discovered to have suffered amnesia, having no reason or way to defend himself.
I don’t really see TSR as him ‘ditching’ Espio and Charmy, since they were off doing work behind the shadows while Vector played along with Dodonpa’s races. The Chaotix don’t have to always be together to work as a team - like in Shadow, where Charmy is searching Prison Island on his own for the disks, Espio infiltrates Mad Matrix alone, and Vector scouts out the ARK for the Computer Room alone.
One of my favourite tidbits about Vector is that while he loves money, he also can’t stop giving it to the more needy, leaving the Chaotix constantly broke. A tough guy with a heart of gold XD Vanilla, notice this man already! Also, Espio totally gives me Goemon vibes. Except, y’know, a ninja instead of a samurai.
Team Chaotix are pretty underrated too. And I think it’s called Team Chaotix because it can get chaotic with them around. But without Espio it would be even more chaotic.
Nah, it’s because of the name of their debut game, “Knuckles CHAOTIX”
the chaotix are funny but also lovable. I also really liked the stuff with them in IDW's Zombot virus arc. I would love to play a chaotix game that is essentially a detective game. Also I'd like to see Mighty and Ray in more story focused stuff aside from Archie.
Yeah, the chaotix are a lot of fun. And I hear ya about Mighty and Ray.
If only Chaotix appeared in Sonic Prime...
I would love to hear about their backstory and how they got together. My headcanon goes as follows:
Vector: since he is obsessed with money and recognition I imagine he had a rough childhood and leaves home to make of something of himself.
Charmy: Lost his parents and wandered about until he crossed paths with the other two, making them basically his only family.
Espio: Was part of a ninja clan and was either exiled or left of his own free will to find his own goal
I mean their Archie adaptations were like that espio is from a ninja clan, charmy did left his home wandered the world until he crossed paths with the others also his parents did die at one point while vector is basically what you said
@@gustavogutierrez6568 seriously???? Wow!!! I’ll pat myself on the back for that one
@@gustavogutierrez6568if i recall from the comics wasn't charmy in a royal family, even had a girl, damn now i gotta remember 😂
In Sonic the Comic, they were protectors of the zones with Mighty and Fang as apart of their ranks though the latter would betray them.
Charmy’s also a Prince there.
Mighty has another family member Blockhead Bill that isn’t in the pre-Archie Canon.
Fang is the Preparation Batman meme and less comedic than his other incarnations. This Fang would straight up tell Trip she’d be his partner or else at gunpoint.
The Chaotix has Lord Sidewinder, an aristocratic crime boss with his own gang at his disposal who’s more or less their own Dr Eggman in terms of being the guy they’re regularly going up against. The Upperclass Killer to their Columbo.
In Knuckles Chaotix japanese manual, is already said that Espio is a spy.
Charmy got to the island of that gane looking for flowers, Vector was there looking for miracles of God (i am not kidding). But Espio was there because he was spying Eggman evil deeds. So is likely that they all reunited together at that point for a common goal, make money (since is also said Vector likes money) by using Espio spying skills.
While some of their missions were a pain in the ass, Team Chaotix was always my favorite team in Sonic Heroes, especially for their personalities
We definitely need more Chaotix in our Sonic games. I’ve wanted Espio as a playable character in an Adventure style game since SA1.
We need a spinoff cartoon with these guys
On it
"Vector popping his head to the radio". Uhh that was their Theme Song. But if their Theme song is on the Radio cant see how they are not Getting Clients. I would hire them after listening to that.
I’d dare say that since the song doesn’t actually have any relevant information, such as an address or phone number, not a lot of people know how to get into contact with them, not to mention how the song probably costed a lot of money and the agency couldn’t afford any effective advertising or risk not paying rent, as a result.
But I agree. I would also hire them from their song alone.
@@ge789 They could Alaways put their Information at the End of the Song but yeah I do find it funny that Vector Spent all this Money on Advertising the Business in a Song to put on the Radio only for him to forget to put their Contact info. That would be such A Vector Move.
@Voi Boi And Sonic Heroes as a whole too lol
2:41 a note about that-the reason he even did that is because he was copying what shadow did in another story when they were trying to hack a computer, which i think is an adorable detail because it ties into what you said about him copying people he looks up to
3:49 Giving advice to people when they’re depressed.”
Vector to someone going through suicidal depression: “Hey, don’t got there...yet.”
Yep that’s some grade A advice to give to someone who wants to off themself
Probably bad translation though.
Simple, effective.
There was an attempt
Team Chaotix makes up the classic comic trio. Vector is the Schemer, leading the group into different antics. Charmy is the Follower, going along without complaint. Espio is the Ignored, recognizing the inanity of their actions only for his pleas to go unheard.
Espio has always been one of my favorites and the team as a whole is such a charming gang of good guys on the grind making a living. Really wish they make a comeback as a team in a future game not just as supports.
Roy
I want the chaotix to be playable again but only if you get to play as all three.
I wouldn’t mind separate adventure modes like In SA1
THANK GOODNESS SOMEONE MADE THIS VIDEO! These three, I can passionately state are my favorite sonic characters without question! I loved the backstory Archie gave espio, I love the way charmy was an actual prince, and how vector was just some dude that all somehow met together and became the best of friends. And even in the modern canon, they still remain the best and most fun characters able to bounce of eachother and the cast, with vector being my favorite of the three. He’s just one cool croc!
That's not canon.
Canon to the comics but not actual game canon.
@@Whocares158 Hey, this is a two month old comment, and the info you just stated..... I already knew? I just said I like the backstories Archie gave, I didn’t say they were canon??? Go correct people somewhere else.
@@Whocares158 nobody said anything about canon. You just wanted to be heard.
@@Whocares158 Canon only to the older comics too. Not the recent ones.
Vector: The Bible.
Charmy: This says "The Bibble."
Vector: YOU QUESTION THE WORDS OF THE MIGHTY JIMMY?!
Team Chaotix are my favorite characters besides Sonic himself. I always relate to Espio with my quiet and introverted nature and sensitive hearing (I'm on the spectrum), but I also relate to Vector for my big heart and sense of humor.
Yeah I too reckon I have those things about Espio in me as well (I’m also on the Autism Spectrum, if that’s what you mean)
There should be a detective telltale game featuring the Chaotix
What makes them interesting to me is that they have could easily fallen into obscurity much like with Mighty and Ray and other characters due the way kunkules' chatoix turn out had not been for Sonic Heroes guess it's another reason to love Heroes
Agreed. Heroes did these guys justice
Espio is basically Shadow if Shadow had a normal life and i always liked it.
and YES I simply adore them, theyre literally the perfect side characters. Shiro Maekawa even said that while he loves Shadow he would actually want to make a game focusing on Chaotix.
I remember back in your collab with Ruby of Blue how Vector should've been a leader of the Resistance, since he leads the Chaotixs and has really good detective skills and social skills.
I came up with abit of backstory for Charmy. He wasn't always so loud and excitable, in fact once upon a time he was a nice quiet little boy, following around Vector and Espio. Then one day at the diner Vector would go to for his coffee, Charmy would ask for one too. Espio would try and insist to Vector that he doesn't think it's such a good idea, considering how strong he takes his coffee but is distracted by cakes which are going by in the display cabinet. Seeing no reason why Charmy shouldn't have coffee, Vector orders two. One for himself and one for Charmy.
"Here you go, kid," says the croc, throwing the little bee the coffee.
Then after taking a single sip, a bolt of electricity races through Charmy's brain and his eyes widen before guzzling down the coffee in a single glup. Then before Vector can start his own coffee it's snatched by Charmy, declaring "it's mine!" before drinking down in the one go. Then overhearing the giggling little bee, Espio turns his attention to see the once quiet Charmy flying round the diner like a madman.
"Vector! I told you that was a bad idea!" Espio would say.
However he'd feel partly responsible being distracted thanks to his sweet tooth feeling like he must train harder to avoid temptation getting the better of him like that again, all while Vector wishes he had actually listened but would never admit it to Espio given he'd never hear the end of it. That was one year ago and Charmy still hasn't comedown from his caffeine high, despite only having two coffees.
8:08 i love how you made Espio's singing sound all cool even though he doesn't sound like that in game. It's kinda hard to hear but he's literally singing in a tone deaf voice like someone who doesn't know who to sing but still doing it anyone
His voice sounds so silly when you just listen to his part.
@@cupio-stardust Touché
They're pretty much Timon & Pumbaa if they had a third person.
Man, do I wish they make a cameo in the next Sonic film. Dwayne Johnson as Vector, Kate Miccuci as Charmy, and Keanu Reeves as Espio.
Honestly I would LOVE to see a spin-off Chaotix game where they actually do detective things and showcase their competence rather than their comedy. Don't get me wrong, I adore their comedy - their dynamic interplay is brilliant as their personalities are such a great balance - but I want to actually see them solve a genuine mystery. One where Eggman isn't the villain for once (though he could be involved). I want to see them looking for clues, interviewing people, snapping around restricted areas, keeping up their occasional bumbling and bickering but actually being DETECTIVES. This might not be like a mainstream Sonic game, I realize, but it would be so cool to actually see them doing their actual jobs without running through loop-de-loop levels picking up rings and looking for hermit crabs.
I want them to be the focus, not the background. There is so much potential for all these characters. Vector comes across as funny and kinda goofy but he's also pretty sharp, and he IS the leader, calling the shots and keeping everyone moving in the right direction. Espio is very serious and focused, but he can have moments of dry humor too. He keeps everyone focused on important details and grounds the rest of the team. Charmy provides enthusiasm and drive, even if it isn't always useful, his passion and excitement alway keep the others excited to press forward. He also sometimes ask questions or do things that seem stupid at first, but they end up leading to much more important discoveries.
TL;DR, I really like the Chaotix and I wish SEGA would use them for more than just comedy, even though they're really good at comedy.
this would be SO fun like an actual mystery game. id buy it in a heartbeat
The way you described them in the beginning I was comparing them to another adult swim show. Espio is like Huey, Charmy is like Riley, and Vector is like granddad in The Boondocks
I love how far discourse has come from the “sonics friends are stupid” talking point. The chaotix are amazing and I couldn’t agree more with your analysis of how they work as a comedy trio. Great video as usual my dude!
3:53 I need a full & 10 hour loop of Vector dancing to can’t touch this.
These guys are why I started giving simple, normal sort of goals to my D&D characters
There’s something so funny about an interesting character in a cool fantasy setting who has goals like “I wanna pay rent this month”
I really want to know Why Espio A Ninja is part of a Detective Agency. I know in the Archie comics they Sort of Explain Why but I need the canon version.
How did it go in the Archie universe?
@@LDtheBrachio
In that universe Espio comes from a country in the East called the Dragon Kingdom. Specifically, he comes from the Shinobi ninja clan, which has a rivalry with other three ninja clans (Raiju, Gossamer and Yagyu). Each clan has a matriarch who is called "bride" (the bride of the Shinobi is also Espio's mother). The rest of the story gets explained better in the Archie issues 202 to 212 and in sonic universe 13 to 16
@@LDtheBrachio Back when the Chaotix wasn't a Detective agency but but of Knuckles' Freedom Fighters. Espio was sent by his Chameleon Ninja clan to Spy on Knuckles and The Master Emerald only revealing himself if the Situation called for it. He would later help Knuckles and join his Chaotix team. But that was before they became a Detective Agency and I think story still continues from back when they was a Part of Knuckles. They was Part if Knuckles team than later down the Line they became a Detective Agency minus Knuckles, Mighty and Ray. Clearly the Agency is a Retcon but Archie try to Combine both Stories. I want the New Story. I wouldn't mind if Espio is Still Connected to His Ninja Family and The Brides. (Just to be Clear I gave you a Really Shorten Version of Espio History in Archie).

They have been treated so wrong in 2010s. Honestly i want a team chaoix game but its sega.
Exactly! They were together in Forces, yet they didn't really interact much (or at all?). With is such a waste, why did they brought them in the game at all?
@@michia3765 forces failed to flesh out the characters. That's why every character sucked in that game. And the chaoix were just thrown in the game.
@@d0tty Yes because all of the characters they brought in were shuffed aside, in favor of more Classic Sonic, infinite and Rocky. Mostly because none of these 3 where actual characters.
@@michia3765 classic sonic should have his own games. Infinite is well... The oc has no personality. And sonic was annoying in the 2010s. And Eggman will never be as good as he was in sa2
Unfortunately, i feel like their own game will ruin them. We all know that many characters' personalities have been changed or misinterpreted, so maybe it would be better if our three boys stayed in the shadows, at least they won't be ruined
Okay. The Chaotix as the Aqua Teens....I think I died from laughter.
Being the only detective team, they actually do their job correctly. I'm sure no one except Eggman dislikes them. Chaotix are my favourite team for many reasons. Espio is the serious and calm one, while also being embarrassed at what his friends do. Charmy is just the one who basically does what Vector does. And Vector just goofs around
Another thing I like about Heroes!Espio is that he was a bit of a chuunibyo/edgelord, but in a good way. You already mentioned his lyrics. There's also his line when you finish the Egg Hawk fight: "Death to the evil one! Prepare to die, Eggman!". There's also when you get an A rank: "Impossible feat! Ultimate ninja power!".
They were so hilarious in Sonic Heroes when I was a kid. Their antics always cracked me up.
Hands down my favorite sonic characters in the franchise! I can't get enough of their antics and the major amounts of TMNT energy they give off. Huge props for giving this underrated trio their due.
OMG they do give off that energy, charmy would def be mikey 😩👍
@@shining_k.5181 they are basically the same character. Younger brothers that are the light of the team.
They deserve their own video game. It could be a normal sonic adventure game but with some elements of LA Noire where the Chaotix investigate and look for clues as they solve mysteries. You can definitely make a really good game if you get the right team for it.
Give them a whole slice of life series of short episodes where they just have funny interactions with other Sonic characters and/or new characters where they just get into the wildest situations while trying to do their job. Flesh them out, have your mix of relaxing, heartfelt moments with comedy and flesh out more of Sonic's world while you're at it. Or, you know, make that into a single short movie, with voice acting, animated by Marza animation planet, the guys most well known for animation Night of the Werehog. That sounds cool to me, at least on paper
Haven't even watched it yet but I fully agree! They're my favorite characters, besides Sonic and Knuckles. I wish they appeared more in the games!
Let's hope that they are in Sonic Prime!!
These guys are awesome
I hope they're playable in future games
And i have always dream of an open world game for the Chaotix with a Detective plot, the main cast doesn't have to appear just create a new antagonist (the smarter the better) and why not, add the Hooligans as criminal and their rivals
8:25 this comparison is freaking hilarious. Now we have to have a Chaotix show with Aqua team hunger force like humor 😂
In one of the comics I think it might have been (don't know which era) Espio and Charmy end up getting into an argument because Charmy said pirates are cooler then ninja and they bickered like both of they were children and Espio complains to Vector who is so done with they nonsense.
The comics defiantly leaned in the comedic side for the Chaotix. Anyway but what I was getting at is that I personally believe the reason Espio and Charmy don't seem to talk to each other in the SH is because they always end up arguing over something stupid
Espio is legit the straight man in a three man buddy cop comedy
I love to see a game with the Chaotix as the main protagonists
Facts
Y'know it's funny how the further a character is from the spotlight, better and more well treated they are. But yeah I love these goofs. They really are great use of not overbearing comic relief unlike two primary coloured robots (I like Orbot and Cubot but they can be a bit much sometimes). They're guys you don't take too seriously but would love to see more of.
Yesss!! A video on the Chaotix! I love them so much and this video has remade them my favorite team again lol, Charmy's still one of my favorite characters
Also team chaotix have THE BEST TEAM THEME SONG LIKE WOW✨
I will show this to my friend who's an Espio fan
Cool
I love this! Theyre also my favourite team after Heroes, and I've always wanted to see them head to head with Team babylon. The dynamic is similar, and I feel like Wave and Espio would hit it off beautifully. Both are smart, the level headed ones, and they seem like they should be the leaders of their teams. Vector and Jet are pretty much lead by money, and Charmy and Storm are the comic relief / dumb or silly ones.
Another parallel between Team Chaotix and Aqua Teen Hunger Force... The two trios are detectives! Or rather in the latter's case, former detectives, after the show became even more bizarre! XD
Espio takes his job so seriously that he was completely ok with shooting Sonic
A characters-in-depth episode of Orbot and Cubot that will be a good episode to see on my September 17th birthday this year.

But alright I understand & accept your terms. Thank You.
The Chaotix are a Family
I just love Vector so much as a character for how surprisingly balanced he is in terms of personality traits. Like you pointed out, Vector has personality shades of both Espio and Charmy sometimes leaning into one extreme (Charmy's hyper goofy demeanor) and sometimes into the other extreme (Espio's utterly serious and stoic demeanor). You just don't expect someone like Vector with such a "manly" appearance to have such a balanced personality. The fatherly Croc is just such a perfect middle ground between his two fellow comrades making him the perfect leader for Team Chaotix (not literally perfect because everyone has some sort of flaw but still an amazing leader). And yet, Vector still is respectable enough to treat Espio as his equal letting his expert ninja skills take the lead a lot of the time and entrusting Charmy to carry out some tasks so he can grow and learn to be a great detective like him and Espio. Vector will always be the ultimate beast Dad/Uncle figure to me because of his balanced personality! 🤩✊🔥🐊
I love these three so much!!! They are easily my favorite Sonic characters! I hope they are able to make them playable in future games!

Well.. Vector and Espio are in TMOSTH, so there's that
8:46 is perfect because in Espio's first appearance in Sonic X, he had to steal a TV.
i really enjoy their dynamic in the idw comics honestly. they really embody that original (well. heroes) dynamic well, where they work together super well and slightly annoy each other all the time (lovingly). also, they get some harder-hitting emotional stuff during the metal virus arc which i find compelling. i think it balances their comedy with their actual detective work focus pretty well.
2:16 I hate bees but Charmy is the only be I want to be friends with
I hate how Sega seems to hate this team. In more recent Sonic games you often see Vector paired with characters other than Espio & Charmy
The problem is that team Chaotix in Here's wasn't great in terms of mission structure. Which examples why we barely see these guys.
Espio is my favorite sonic character of all time!
Charmy: but I thought you said TV is bad for you.
Espio: It is. But we f*****g need it!

in the chaotix ultimate. for some reason you get rings for every robot you killed using it. guess the bots didnt find any tomatoes to throw at them during their singing. so they just used rings instead. oh and i like how charmy says thank you when he is used as the leader during their ultimate
