He could dash through everyone..... at the cost of 20% of his fuel count...... He wasnt op. He just needed alot of rings to do well and if that friend of yours makes it to the 100 rings before you, it leaves you in the dirt
Well, in the OG Riders he can use each trait independently, which optimise the speed and the ring gathering, if you manage to have more than 80 rings, you can easily keep a good pace, his boost can stun and just run over the others with a good trade off from 20 of your current rings but each hit costs 10 more, and to be fair you don't even need to boost with super sonic, unless you want to be a dick with the others, and you start already with 30 rings, and drift will use the double of the current usage of rings, which is near 1/s, also you can't be harmed and neither lose rings when attacked in Super Sonic stage As you know, ring management is the major point of Super Sonic, if you know well enough the track, you will be perfectly fine with only the ones you gather through it, and not even needing to obtain the 100 rings monitor But they nerfed way too much the Chaos Emeralds in Zero Gravity,you already starts without a grasp of ring, and the only desirable upgrade at first is the electric shield, since the other upgrade isn't useful at all by how much you pay for it, and some stages don't even have enough rings to keep up with your needs, and in this case, is not about management anymore, if you have the need to rely on monitors to give atleast a bit of rings, in the OG means you aren't playing as efficient as you think, but in ZG? means that the stage wasn't conceived for this character, atleast not for the current version of Super Sonic in the game, also you can only relies in two types of shortcuts, the ones exclusively for characters that is in offensive state (which is rare as fuck I would say) you know, those springs and whatnots, and if you somehow managed to not burn your entire supply of rings with the locked offensive state (once you reach 50 rings) or didn't used gravity at all, you can use power type shortcuts, but those aren't as good as they was in the OG, and even there they aren't too much effective, unless you already know how to use them in the best way possible, and I don't even want to mention the gravity warping abilities with super sonic, it is just, _sad_, you know what could make ZG Super Sonic 10 times better? simply not making the gravity eat your rings like nothing, Super Sonic can already fly, so there was no need to spend rings with the gravity dive or gravity control, you know, making the main mechanic of the game totally at hand by not spend anything while in super sonic state would be amazing and also would give a good enough reason about why you passed through all those grindy and boring missions to obtain it, but instead they decided to turn the ultimate life form (not Shadow) into your everyday power-type gear, but with way more extra steps And I do enjoy ZG, not as much as OG, but still a nice playthrough, the ZG mission mode was as grindy as OG, but you still can have fun with (mainly the rail, air ride and ring collection missions) but what they did with Super Sonic in the game is quite offensive, and seemed like they shoehorned him right in the last stage of development, when everything else was nearly done
I think this is probably the best example of how bad Super Sonic is in Zero Gravity. First, Sonic drains his rings faster than the Super Sonic Boost in Generations just by using Gravity Control/Drift or a Gravity Dive. Second, sure there are 100 ring capsules, but they only show up once and when they get collected, then don’t return meaning if you do grab that capsule you’ll drain most of it in the same Gravity Drift, and you have to drain it to upgrade your gear. Also if you compare Riders Super Sonic to ZG Super Sonic, chances are the Riders one will stay in their Super state longer than the Zero Gravity Super Sonic due to the amount of stuff that drains it like crazy. I have no idea why Super Sonic was nerfed so badly, mainly due to the fact you have to be really good at the game to unlock the Chaos Emerald gear.
I cannot believe I just completed all the missions on expert mode, which was a tedious nightmare, just to receive a garbage, needed supersonic. I never achieved supersonic in the other sonic games, I thought since this was my chance as an adult reliving my childhood I could get the best gear in the game. No. It's the worst way to play the game. By the time you get 60 rings and go into flying mode, its the third lap and you realize how boring the game is without being able to take shortcuts. Oh, the runner's shortcuts? You mean the worst ones in the game? Is that how i'm supposed to play supersonic? I wanted to avoid spoiling his abilities, but now I deeply wish I read this comment before I went through the nightmare hell that was all the missions on expert mode. Im sorry for my rant, just wanted to vent and possibly warn another person before making my mistake.
@@maxr1612 yeah lol. to give more context and detail, the people I've watched before who've done full commentated play throughs of this game mentioned that, Super Sonic is horrible in this game, and that they nerfed him from the last game. when actually, its more like they balanced him, but also changed him in a way that introduces more challenge
Years later and I'm still trying to understand why he was nerfed. He already had a lot going against him with the harsh ring drain in Riders, and then they decided to break his kneecaps here by making him guzzle rings like he's trying to set a new record for "most rings drained in a minute".
Honestly, Super Sonic here just kind of looks sick. One moment he's outpacing everyone on foot by using the secret shortcuts, the next he's Super Saiyan.
...I never even knew nor ever saw Super Sonic in this game before. And this game was part of my childhood, dafuq? (Guess I learned something new about this game after quite some years, huh) Edit: woah, even tho this vid is a few years old, you still read the comments and even pin/heart them? Thats amazing! And my messages never got pinned/hearted before, thank you very much! '^'
Man oh man, I remember the first time I unlocked him, I was over the moon, then decided to play with him, and in seconds all that happiness transformed into frustration, I thought it was like OG Riders, you know, able to go through each and every shortcut, use sparely rings to not get fucked by others. And then it strucked like a lightning, when I tried and failed miserably to use rails, while struggling to keep as many rings as possible, then another shock when tried to use gravity control, after that, I exit the race and then decided not to use Super Sonic anymore, just because it is frustation within frustation, atleast those on-foot shortcuts was neat
You can also use the springs if you get a powerup that makes you run on foot. The one that makes it so that you can attack the other racers. I used to purposely suck at the tracks as a kid just so i could see what the shortcuts in each track were
@@gwbt7184 There's another way you can do that and not suck. Use the gear called Big Bang! It may gain GP at half the rate the other gears do (only one of two gears that has this downside, with the other being the Rainbow) and it may have abysmal stats (1 each on Speed, Dash and Power; and 3 on Curve), but as soon as you amass a total of 100 GP, the gear immediately spends 50 GP to grant you Attack mode! And this isn't even once per race! As such, you'll dominate most races if you've gotten really good at the game, and especially at this gear, but the Big Bang can heavily punish beginners, to the point that if you fall off the track even once, you've pretty much lost the race.
Super Sonic is not so super in Zero Gravity. But the reason for that is actually simple : he can't grind, he can't fly. All he can do is maybe pass by the Power routes. And even so, he draws so many rings in that Superman-like state. Not to mention you start at *zero* rings. Even in Riders you at least started with 30.
@@sonicdml4175 In ZG, characters don't come with types. Instead the shortcut types depend on gears. Some come with shortcuts already enabled, some get types through gear change and others don't even have shortcuts. In SS's case the Chaos Emerald is typeless until SS enters boost mode which enables Power Type.
@@sonicdml4175 The problem is that even if you did become SS you wouldn't be able to use Spred shortcuts because SS is unable to jump during the boost state.
@@sonicdml4175 The problem with your idea is that even if you did become SS you wouldn't be able to use Speed shortcuts because SS is unable to jump during the boost state.
I think I remember someone saying that the only reason the course is called Crimson Crater is because of the sand surrounding the structure. Even though the color of the sand is not even close to actual crimson but I guess it still flies.
Sonic R with boards :P You seriously have skills bro. Fun fact: The exterior part of this place, which was only shown in the game's cutscenes and starting points, appears in Project Diva F 2nd as a stage for "Erase or Zero".

С прошедшим тебя днем рождения) Тём, а как тебе мысль сделать компиляцию всех сокращений, которые открываются только когда ты едешь последний либо играешь за Супера? Очень интересно, когда играл я почему-то не сразу догадался о том, что у Супер Соника есть изначально такая возможность использовать постоянно.
Спасибо! ^_^ Да можно как-нибудь забацать, но я далеко не все сокращения помню. Если уж есть гайд по ним, то могу его как бы скопировать, но заснять в лучшем качестве.
That's the Wii version running on PC thanks to the Dolphin emulator. Sonic Free Riders is for Kinect. This is Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, a completely different game.
Literally, the worst place to play as Super Sonic. But the AI is dumber Edit: this makes the power of the ark of cosmos literally useless, thus there is no reason for Super Sonic to use it, apart from sticking to the shortcut, if you have the rings to do it
BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE CHAOS EMERALDS!

He's trying not to overdose it with the speed.

The first sonic riders had super sonic in it too
It's quite a difficult task unlocking him.
Based on what I just saw, I dont think I missed out on much from not getting the gold ranks.

Dang you were that bad bro 😂 I had fun with him as a kid still my favorite character
One of my favorite PlayStation 2 games. And I never knew about this.

Was ZG on the PS2? I thought it was Wii exclusive?
VPG Yes, it was on PS2.

The joy was not lasting, right? xD
all using boards and stuff
Super Sonic : me run, me smash, me TRANSFORM, ME SUPER SONIC
My favorite track because of the music that plays on it.

Why does he consume so many rings when using gravity dive?
he used a good amount of rings in the original when boosting but this is ridiculous
0:18 CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HPW I CAN USE THESE
are there any difficulties in the game ? like can you change how the CPU play ? they don't seem challenging at all
Super Sonic is challenge himself)). He's nerfed as hell.
Unlike Riders, the CPU here can choose other gear you bought in free races so I suppose they are
The computer are harder and cheap being able to speed up whenever they feel like it but not impossible to beat but is troublesome
How do you go to the springs with out the power up?
Super Sonic can do that when he has no rings.
ArtFenixAsordis oh thanks for the reply,i didn't know he could do that
I like your video brother😄👌
How did you unlock the chaos emeralds in zero gravity?
All missions for S rank, if I remember right.
thank you, the max you can go is extreme so thx.
+ArtFenixAsordis héroe or babylon
both
Chaos Emerald and The Crazy are insane in this track, i try and i win the 8th place >_
+PooperDuCrépuscule Yeah, some levels require particular tactics to come first place.
Wait how do you get super sonic? I thought i beat this game but apparently not..
Beat the missions with perfect rank.
@Sean Scott Wrong.
@Sean Scott You can't buy the Chaos Emerald.
@Sean Scott No. Chaos Emerald automaticaly unlocks after you get all the perfect ranks.
That's the ONLY way to unlock it.
Why was he out of rings?
Gravity Control costs Rings as Super Sonic and it drains your Rings at the blink of an eye in this.
how u get the super sonic?
Complete all misions in Extreme calification
this is mod?
I stopped trying to unlock him. I beat heroes mode all missions x rank. But Babylon was WAY too hard
Yeah, he's much harder to unlock in Zero Gravity than in the first game.
mmhmm.
Well after a lot of "time and effort" I finally got him. It's quite easy to get first place with him
