Something I actually caught on my playthrough after the second boss.
When Knuckles fake-out punches at Super Sonic, he flinches for a moment, because Knuckles was able to punch the emeralds out of Sonic at the start of Sonic 3.
I noticed that too
Eh I guess that's plausible when you look at the scene. I didn't really notice when I played the game, but that sounds cool.
Makes sense, but ain't that dude a hologra- oh wait, *he blocked an attack by Sage*
@@tailsfan10 sage is also a hologramish thing. She is just more capable as an AI
And sonic charge the jump like what he did when you hold down to charge a spin dash
Heads up: In Super Sonic you still have access to all the other attacks you unlocked like the stomp and spin kick, so you you don't have to rely solely on your basic attacks and parrying.
To add on, it’s also possible to cyloop Titans as well.
@@shreeder4092 And to further add on to that, you can cyloop them twice. For example, cylooping Gigantos tosses him up and then cylooping again while he's airborne throws him down to the ground.
0:17 I find it so funny that the mission is to "search for friends". Coulda said "rescue friends" or "find your friends", but they went with "search for friends" like sonic is some lonely introvert trying to find a buddy.
I would be too if I was in an empty grass field and I started to hear voices.
@@swellsauce6115 oh god that’s scary
You’re reaching hard with this
@@icader7194 The game was first written and casted in English.
@@bakedbeans5494 Or... probably not, then. Sorry.
"I would sooner die than make a second trip carrying my groceries into the house."
he's just like me fr
Same, never change Smoothie Boogie never change
true. i unload and carry an entire truck bed all at once just so i don't have to make a second trip.
“do i take fall damage?” is a line every gamer has said before
Out if my curiosity, I had that same question on the 4th island. If you know, you know
Along with, "Will fire hurt me?"
If he remembered he was playing a sonic game he wouldn't have asked 😂😂😂
@@TheJadeFist “if I step in the campfire, will I start burning?”
Yep true
They acknowledged Super Knuckles as canon. I thought they changed the lore so only hedgehogs could go super.
Given "Super Knuckles" is in quotation marks, that probably isn't the case, sadly.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles was confirmed as canon to the "Modern" series in this game. Super (and Hyper) Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are canon.
@@eggbreakerdotexe nah he’s correct. The most recent Tails Tube even addressed this. Knuckles could go super but chooses not to. At least it was heavily implied
Hopefully that decision about only male hedgehogs being able to turn super has been retconned
Well apparently anyone can harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds, but their form depends on their alignment and species
Wait until he discovers that parrying doesn’t require timing, he can just hold the buttons until something hits him…
I learned at the end.
@@Choctopus you to huh your not alone, only thing i learned during the end game
The game even tells you every time you practice parrying
wait wha.....
You do what!
33:14 I love how sonic flinched at knuckles little jabs as he was in super form. Like goddamn how strong is that echidna to scare a mf in god mode
Enough to remove his godmod
Knuckles has knocked the super outta sonic before
Knuckles is strong enough to smack the goofy out of super sonic so sonic should be shitting himself hologram or not
I like how well their scenes flesh out their relationship as a friendly rivalry. For a Sonic game it’s pretty solid writing
22:15 seeing Choc get so legitimately happy here was just so wholesome :D
“You left the Master Emerald alone!! Who’s guarding it now!?”
My guess. Rouge.
My guess is Tikal and Chaos.
@@johnnygyro2295 Well, Tikal is a flying spark and Chaos is in Heaven.
I highly recommend you buy all the Egg Memos from the fishing spots by the end of the 3rd island, they give you some necessary background lore along with character development set-up that the main story unfortunately doesn't give time to set up.
Edit: if you want, you can get them on the final island if you prefer, so no pressure. There's also 24 of them
The egg memos are honestly one of my favorite parts of the game, it’s a pity nobody has really reacted to them yet.
@@JamUsagi saltydkdan did sat through all of them during a stream, I think it was the most recent stream but I don't know if he did a stream since then
@@JamUsagi snapcube has done it in a stream
I got a few but have no idea how to use them
@@dramaticmudderer5208 It’s a tab in the fish-o-pedia for some reason
When she said "I can awaken its rage against you" I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a rage against the machine joke, and I finally settled on "Rage against the blue teen"
Dude... Sage Against the Machine? Rage Against the Mach-tween? So much potential!
@@SeriousMcnegative XD
"That's a lot of metals, knuckles. How many wars have you been in?" Knuckles wasn't in any wars. He WAS the wars.
Have you forgotten his iconic line from Sonic Forces?
Fun fact: Super Sonic flinches when Knuckles punches at him, which is a reference to when Knuckles knocked him out of super form at the beginning of S3&K.
And also, the the laser that shot down Super Sonic at the beginning of island 2 caught Sonic by surprise, also like how Knuckles did in S3&K where he surprises Sonic and knocks the Emeralds out of him.
@@isplat927 I mean it shouldn't matter if he was surprised or not, it shouldn't suddenly do so much more damage just because he didn't know it was coming. It's like if superman being immune to bullets only because he sees them coming, but then he gets hurt because one got him that he didn't know about. It's nonsense.
A couple bits of unsolicited advice in case you want it. If you want to find Big easier, look for the red circles with the question marks on the map. That signals challenges to expand the map and will help find big. His portal shows up as a fish icon on the map. Fishing is a perfect addition to the game as a break from the regular game and lets you progress VERY quickly. As one other commenter said, Super Sonic maintains his other skills from normal sonic. I highly suggest using the quick cyloop among the others skills on the bosses because there’s some crazy things you can do. Unlike the final boss unfortunately, the third boss definitely lives up to the hype. Make sure your difficulty is on hard in order to fight the true final boss at the end.
One of eggmans memos say that starfall only has 3 islands. And you can tell that's true once you get to a certain story point. Which means at some point Sega had sonic team make the game a little longer
Still annoying how island 4 is just the the top part of the first one and doesn’t have anything in it except the towers
@@averagecrusader1776 Actually Rhea is the middle part of Kronos, ouranos is the northern part.
In addition to the silhouette, if you compare the map of Rhea and Ouranos you can see that they are connected.
If you clear every challenge on a stage, the entire map fills out and you get the ability to freely warp between the Cyberspace Portals, including Big’s Fishing Spot. With the scrolls you can fish up for the Koco, you can warp all over the stage, it’s great.
32:40 The sheer excitement in his voice lol
Quick tip: if you max out your rings by repeatedly do the cyloop, you get an Even Faster boost
he used it
That's common knowledge
0:31 *YOU* learned about the ♾ boost trick at the start of Ares island. *I* learned about the ♾ boost trick *when I beat the game, completed the maps of Kronos island and Ares island, and was working on it for Chaos island.*
I completed the island maps as I beat them, and I also discovered the infinite boost truck before I even got all of the chaos emeralds on Kronos.
To be fair, I beat the entire game before I found out about that feature.
Funnily enough, I'm up to the third island myself, but I didn't know it was an infinity loop that did it. I just drew like, 100 tight circles to get the boost.
I learned this trick in the beginning lol
If you stand still long enough sonic will say "Do you think there's a chow garden around here, probably not, the temperature isn't right"
This game so far is looking good, compared to other 3D sonic games.
@nie i nie wiem
Gameplay wise or graphic wise?
@@DarkShadowX9 i think gameplay and story is much better
in my opinion.
@@nieiniewiem773 Do you mean as of late? Story wise its kind of mid. It beats the shit out of Sonic Forces but still doesn't hit the emotional gut punch that was Sonic Adventure 2 ending. It tries but doesn't quite hit it. Gameplay wise I don't make comparisons since we would be comparing a 2022 game to a 1990s game which is kind of silly to do.
It's hard to find the end of adventure 2 emotional (or any sonic game honestly) when you know the character comes back. Works better when you played it when it came out which I didn't
@@HunterForHire422 that doesn't undermine the craftsmanship in how things play out in SA 1 and 2. The value is in itself for make an emotional impact, it lends itself to be appreciated and not just a spineless cashgrab like Forces was.
Yanno what, I think the thing I love the most about this game is how the characters are allowed to be... Well, characters.
In recent years, Sonic games just had them as caricatures, only having catchphrases and basic traits, so this is big in my eyes.
They can have emotions, stakes, personalities. Hell, even Eggman has his own emotions beyond "kill Sonic and take over the world"
Choc: "Do we take fall damage?"
Sonic: We don't do that here.
The fact that sonic in his super form still flinched when Knuckles makes a joke attempt to punch him is so funny.
It’s a sonic 3 & Knuckles reference: despite having all the chaos emeralds when flying to angel island, knuckles was still able to knock the emeralds out of super sonic, and he’s supposed to be invincible by all standards.
Sonic frontiers probably just made the best argument for a robust public rail system that anyone has ever done.
I was expecting all the bosses to just be the same thing. But that was incredible.
unfortunately the true final boss is a massive disappointment
Facts. The boss fights other than 1 absoluetly slap
4:53 Honestly, 2022's been good to Knuckles
The fishing spots in the first, third, and fifth world are easy to find because you can find them by just exploring casually, but the one in the second requires you to find a bunker on the west side of the map and find the route that leads to the fishing spot
Wyvern boss in a nutshell:
Don't know how to parry? *It's time to learn.*
That was EXACTLY my experience!
4:53 This so much. It was a tragedy seeing what they did to my boy after Heroes. Now if only Scott Drier could come back...
In hindsight, we were so starved of any semblance of a decent Sonic game we hyped the hell out of Sonic Colors when it first came out
Frontiers has been an insane amount of fun though, I don't want it to end
Frontiers is overhyped imo. It’s like a 6/10 all around.
Talk about not wanting it to end! I only got to the third island today!
8:45 kinda cute Knuckles calling someone else too trusting, he's been burned before...
"Use the parry button to hit the energy bullets one times."
That's the kind of polish we expect.
The scream I scromed when he called Knuckles a GIF 😭
Fun fact about Colors' Acts: they were actually like two or three acts but then the levels were split apart presumably for the sake of content. There are mods out there that put them back together as they originally were, I think that'd make them much more palatable.
So Sage actually has optional cutscenes in each zone but usually she has much higher medal requirements than your friends. Still cool you can have conversations with the antagonist
The minigame where you round up the Koco hordes is practically identical to the gym challenge in Turffield in Pokémon Sword/Shield, where you're doing the same for a flock of Wooloo.
Oh sky diving is an amazing experience! Getting off the plane is the scarest thing. The rest, is ironically quite peaceful and quiet
Fun fact just hold the counter buttons till they attack it works
There's so many references to other Japanese media in these enemies. Giganto would fit perfectly in Evangellion. Tank flies exactly like Gamera
I hope he realizes he can Cyloop the bosses for an insane stagger animation
Choc! Quality content! Quality Jokes! Loving this play through! Definitely a goated content creator!
Who thinks that Sonic's homing attack range is insane
(And why is his fighting skills so good)
just a bit
Its failed me more then its helped
Like its homes in on something I fidnt want ... wish a little flick on the right stick would change it
i'm glad someone else remembers Eternatus 6:16
I love that sonic leaves a trail behind him. That mechanic was also used in pacman world 3 via power pellet
I really hope this game gets patches, add ons, and dlc in the future. I think my only things i really hope for is boss rush, for them to fix pop in, and i also hope they make sonic faster in 2d cyberspace and maybe 3d too idk
Boss replays are a must, and really shouldn't be that hard to implement. Just add it to the title screen after beating the game once like Arcade Mode.
Well we’re getting another costume DLC today so there is a big chance we’re bigger dlcs
@@ExaltedUriel I feel like they should update Supreme's design and attack pattern for the most part as well
@@christopherford39 they should also give him some cool qte commands if possible, too underwhelming of a boss for a theme like im here
If they can't fully fix the pop in, at least do a fade in so it blends better you know? Sega probably hasn't done too many games like this so it's commendable for their efforts. Other than a few minor issues, unfortunately including the final boss, it has too many good points for me to think it's a bad game. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it and am proud of Sega for taking this leap with sonic that might have sank them. They showed effort and passion for a project despite others telling them its a waste of time, which I am thankful they didn't give in to. It needs work, but what open world project doesnt if theyre not known for that kind of game?
To find the finishing spot you need to complete specifics challenges around the map. Remember where you found the koco that levels up either your speed or your rings? It’s close to there.
The pure joy you have while fighting Wyvern gave me life, man. I love seeing RUclipsrs just get completely hype- please. More Sonic Frontiers. I know you're gonna make it, but...y'know- getting you that comment for the Algorithm :)
This one is still my FAVORITE boss fight and because it reminds me of DBZ and Bleach where they're always fighting in the air. And for Sonic here? MAN
There is a Big fishing spot on every island. You just have to explore all of it to find the place. Besides, you can always return to the islands after you beat them.
I swear Big is a god. He's just chilling in his own little pocket dimension living the good life fishing.
I like how the fishing spots are the most elusive thing in the game.
I absolutely love the free roaming.
The cyberspace levels for some reason are very janky. Idk why, it's like the physics are programed different for them. Almost like they took the engine from Forces and dropped it in here. Sonic feels slow, boost does little for speed, and momentum is wonky at times. I do love the air boost and I've learned to abuse it for faster times lol
Outside of Cyberspace the game feels and plays great and I love his Speed
You just gotta get over the part where your brain expect them to play like Generations just because it looks like Generations and they'll be alot more enjoyable. It's why 1-2 is so hard at first for the S rank time, because how to actually do the time, flies in the face of past experience with Sonic games. You expect the top path and the orange rings that launch you are the best way, but you're faster if you just stick to the ground.
3:00 - I'm stopping here because you gave me what I wanted... I mentioned on the last one I can only get one game until Zelda comes out ON MY BIRTHDAY next year 😁 and I was waiting for your input because I trustes you Choc! 😂 The part where you were saying "I was WRONG" is enough for me. As much as I totally love you, the squad, and all of your videos... I want to go into this one as blind as possible. THANK YOU CHOC! 😻👍
so glad i subscribed in time to watch your play through, i was so hyped during mine
Still haven't watched the whole video but just in case: I HIGHLY recommend you get all the "Eggmemos" from Big's fishing mini game. They're incredibly fun to listen to and actually make the ending a bit better, a lot of past lore is mentioned too.
Just trust me and listen to them man, they're worth it.
Edit: Apparently he knows about them already lol. But either way, get them.
Another thing; if possible: wait for night time whenever you start the boss fights. The light show created by super sonic and the titans looks a lot better at night.
i did man and its a bit creepy on eggman part about sage also despite liking references there is so many in this game its a started to feel weirded out
@key one
Well why not? Shadow has 2 fathers technically and one of them is an alien. Eggmans grandpa is shadow's surrogate father which makes shadow and HAS made shadow Canonically eggmans uncle and makes Maria shadow's niece. Gerald saw shadow as his son in his game too, so it's not that weird for sage to be eggmans daughter. Shadow the hedgehog was released in 2005, so the familial concept isn't new.
@@laurabuhanan7871 well it isnt about y not more like in the wording he calling her his daughter and the way he toned down in the memo when adressing her just kinda out of knowhere and unearned tbh he should have just called her his greatest creation or something and even then the story need an actual belivable moment to earned it
"Your too trusting sonic"
Didn't you try to kill him? And shadow? And silver? And blaze? And-
Run in circles a lot to gain rings so you can take more damage without dying
I can't wait for him to see the rest of the game it gets so good.
Regarding this game's Parry mechanic, the game doesn't have a tight parry window at all. In fact, you can just hold the bumpers to keep parrying until something hits you. So parrying is stupidly easy as compared to any Character Action game. On a side note it's also hilarious how you can just hold the parry buttons and hang in the air.
Personally, I wasn't too big a fan of the parry mechanic just because it required no skill to use. Kinda ruins the point of a parry imo.
I try to parry like you would in SSBU, but my time is off. At least again the second titan.
Suggestion: For the next islands if the Guardians and tokens are too hard for you to collect, just go fishin'
Something else I learned is you get 7 keys for finishing all the objectives for a level
Which is kinda crazy
"This is a pretty lengthy Cyberspace stage."
It's Sky Rail. We got level layouts from older games including SA2. Some parts of City Escape, Green Forest, Sky Rail and Metal Harbor are in the game in Cyberstages. And I love it.
Love your content choc is really funny 😂
Me too
31:01 I laughed way harder at this moment than I should have. Sonic just winds up to throw Wyvern HARD at a cliff, and Choc just completely removes any impact that Wyvern hitting the cliff face would have had by editing in the Minecraft hurt noise. Incredibly anticlimactic, but really funny nonetheless.
Check the map and compass for red circles with question marks and complete these challenges. When completing all of them, you unlock the complete map and use the digital gates as quick travel. Btw the fish icon in the map is the fishing spot
16:00
You can dash attack into them to pick them up, saved me a ton of time, first thing I tried when I saw the targetting redicule
I have also learned a little late into the game that when it says you “Need” of whatever you have, it means you need those many left not what you need in total of what you have collected already
Glad your enjoying Frontiers like most of us Choctopus. This really was fun and blew my expectations away
I just realized something, what will the Snapcube fandub be of this? Will it be Eggman talking about orphans he adopted? I really hope they do this game. It’ll be interesting as always of any game.
What a beautiful game. Truly an exquisite piece of art when it comes to gameplay, music, and definitely the boss fights. That shit goes hard!!!😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛🐐🐐🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Game is love, game is life. So much room for improvement for the next game. Game did a great job setting up a base. This is on top of the great story and setup with boss fights.
If I could have one thing, I would want you to have to fill up a combo bar to use abilities, so you have to get in there and dodge/parry to get to use the powerful abilities.
You have access to all your other moves like the cyloop and special attacks. Just a heads up.
The begging for Big's fishing game makes me laugh because I remember the way people DREADED it in the earlier game😂
The fishing spot is near where the oasis area is. Follow the path from the cyberspace left on the left side
Legit, you have to just hold L and R to parry. No timing required other than "make sure the buttons are held down as thing is happening."
The long cyberspace level was Shadow's sky rail from adventure 2! I geeked out when i figured that out.
Knuckles in the new animated sonic show: "knuckles smash
Knuckles in this game: " I knuckles will hit you now"
I feel like people seem to forget that Sonic Boom...was a "different" thing. Knuckles was never "as" dumb as he was in Sonic Boom, but he has always been an idiot.
People also seem to forget that...for the 4 games Knuckles has been in since 2010, he wasn't even portrayed as stupid...he was just there.
So whenever people praise a game for not making him "too dumb to live"...it's faint praise, because that's never been Knuckles' problem.
The fact that the supersonic music sounds like pierce the veil is crazy
The singer is actually Kellin Quinn, so kinda close
Kellin Quinn did collab with Pierce the Vail 10 yrs ago.
*Veil
2:44 finding knuckles memory tokens at night
“Knuckles how many wars have you been in”
Knuckles: Yes
This game actually looks really cool and I have this series to thank for making me realize that.
I feel like with a more Sonic adventure style to the levels and accessing them, through doing mini quests and such, that maybe end in a mini boss, this could be THE new sonic formula
13:06 I tried indoor skydiving when I graduated high school. It didn't go well. My helmet strap choked me.
so fun fact, each boss has a special interaction with Super Sonic's quick cyloop.
Giganto get's thrown into a tornado
Wyvern gets chained up
and the next bosses I'm not gonna spoil cause I want choc to see it blind.
also Idk if you just have them edited out but I reccommend turning on the loading screen training sims, so you don't forget what finishers you have because they ALSO apply to super sonic and some even get special animations
I love the running gag with the windows sounds
The koco sound like they are little bells, I just wanna hold one and give it a lil shake🥰
Let’s go another video by Choctopus also SUBSCRIBED
For strider if you fall off right before the second set of harder rings you can continue with the first set of rings at the same health spot. Fun trick I discovered!
Love ur vids!
“It has been confirmed that knuckles has been thrown into jail for multiple war crimes and claiming, ‘I deserved those medals’ and proceeding to punch a robot’
Hey Choc if you completely map out the island you can unlock fast travel to the purple portal to go fishing with Big the Cat
6:14 “Is that Eternatus” - Choctopus
im really luving this game, the bosses are a blast to fight. oh btw the egg memos u can by from big gives some lore from eggman's prospective if ur intrested?
Pssst. Not sure if it's available still but if you go to your map and change categories, you can see where sage is if you wanna find her and get some lore. Might be something you could do on the previous island as well
Egg memos that you get from fishing with big.
Those are beautiful.
That is all
To answer your question either last video or this one the drowning music is in the game but you have to think outside the box for it (also doesn’t happen here yet I’m not sure what island it’s in)
5:50 when he said "blue raspberry" I faced palm and said "my guy blueberries are a thing"
