One of Yu Suzuki’s finest and one of the most underrated fighting games ever. The cartoonish squash-and-stretch mechanics are perfectly implemented and genius. Music is also top notch.
Same man, an arcade in a bar near my house had this game, and I would play for hours, so much fun with my 2 brothers (my english is not very good, sorry for any mistakes)
I remember playing this Game at the Hospital my Brother was in when he had Cancer, it was an Xbox 360 Kisosk with this Game on it and the first time I ever played it was when I was visiting my little Brother when he was fighting cancer, he or one of my Parents or the Nurses showed us the Kisosk and me and my Brother and Cousin Arielle went to play, we took turns and sometimes played locally and playing that game with him had to be the best nights I ever had with him during his fight with Cancer. I played as Sonic, he played as Knuckles, and on some occasions Arielle played as Amy or Fang, then when it was time to go, I said my goodbyes and left. That was the one and only time I played the Game… my Brother survived Cancer and we were all happy he survived, now looking back at that day, it really was the best day that helped me with what I was going through at the time. My Parents couldn’t often be Home when he was going through this pain and I often had to switch Houses with Uncles or my Grandma, I was scared at those times but being there for my Brother made me feel really special and lucky I had a Brother…

I remember playing this game with my older sister growing up and we were so competitive about it. At the beginning she was better than me but i took it upon myself to train harder for her and then i finally got the upper hand against her to the point where i win everytime. She literally thought i used some kind of cheat codes to make me stronger but it was all skill babeh lol. My favorite character was the green duck, apparently his name is bean because i didn’t know his name back then. Oh the nostalgia.
Lmao same with my 2 brothers, I was really good at the game to the point they thought I was cheating, I also liked Bean (second favorite) but my favorite was Tails, tbh all of the characters where good I liked all of them, except for metal Sonic, I really disliked him as a kid haha
@@a_z_771 yeah, I remember I really struggled to defeat him as a kid, that damn bastard was really OP (my english is kinda bad so there might be some mistakes)
I was two years old when This masterpiece came out. Sonic championship which I believe it was known as regularly as an arcade fighting game, was at the pool I belonged to when I was 8-10 years old. I remember burning quarters and playing this game more than I actually swam in the pool lol
I love the graphics of the game, good looking for that time but I can see why Sega said no to this, there is something bizarre about seeing Sonic beating the shit out of Knuckles, Tails or Amy. You would never see that in today's games haha
Sonic has been shown beating up his friends a number of times over the years. Heroes, Battle, Riders, etc. But I get what you mean. Something about seeing an 8 year old fox get pulverized is strangely uncomfortable. 😂

When i first saw a walkthrough of this game, i thought Hyper Mode was some kind of invincibility, since the sparkling looks like the one used for the invisibility power up.
+mack papi Haha oh god yeah that sound. Maybe it was there so people would all be like, "Is that Sonic?" at the arcade when all you would hear otherwise would be DDR music blaring from its massive speakers. It's definitely high pitched enough to stand out.
Ring noise all about this being the actual arcade game. You want alot of noise coming from you game to call attention to your game in a noisy arcade. Killer Instinct attributes the loud announcer and BREAKER sounds to the arcade games success. So yeah, its annoying, but if they altered it, people would bitch about it not being authentic. This game is just like another Sega fighter called fighting vipers
Man i love the fighters. By no means is it a good fighter, but its good enough for me. I just ordered gems collection, so excited to play this again. I used to rent gems, never owned it. I rented it so many times. Cant stress how excited i am to play the fighters again. Its been over 10 yrs.
I know I'm late by a few years, but to summarize my comment: The characters are programed to maintain a gaze at a point of interest. The point of interest was on the camera, which moved, making it look weird when one of his eyes hit its boundary and the one facing the camera kept following the point. Because it's not a bug, and the system works as intended, SEGA probably didn't feel an overwhelming need to change anything.
Holy shit i remember playing this game with my best friend on his PS2 when we were 7, i always loved to use either Amy or Espio, it was so freaking awesome, imma send him the video, i hope he still has the PS2...

I love how overly cartoony the animations are in this game. Everyone gets squished, stretched and knocked-out with stars rotating around their heads. It's actually really funny to look it.

l remember telling my friends about this game as a kid. once we all played it taking turns fighting and i beat them so badly. reminds me of when my grand papy was still alive, good times.
I know I'm three years too late for the guy who wondered about this, so I'm just making it a full comment. This was about "Sonic's derpy eyes" when he wins. I think what's happening has to do with how they programmed each character's eyes. I noticed that Espio would always side-eye the camera before a match started, but would suddenly look at his opponent. I think they set it up so the gaze of the player character follows a point of interest. Before the match starts, it's the camera. During the match it's the opponent, and when the match ends it is the camera again (so they fully face the camera during their pose). Unfortunately the camera moves during the end screen, making the player character's eyes follow the point. Because you only see one side of the character at a time, it looks like their eye moves farther than it should from a forward facing view. When their gaze reaches its boundary, the character turns their head to follow the point of interest. You can see this happen with Sonic right here at 2:48- 2:53. Notice his eyes follow the point which is moving at a diagonal going up, and when they reach the top of his eye he raises his head and maintains his gaze at the point.
If you ever want a model example of how to make a great spinoff, look no further. Everything about this game, from the gorgeous levels, the characteristically brilliant OST Sonic games are known for, and even the small touches like rings flying out when you get hit, looks so in-tune with the Sonic universe, it may as well be expanding the series' lore! The hate this game gets will never make sense to me, and I sincerely hope folks warm up to StF someday. Save for a few silly mechanics nobody really likes (really just the comeback system), this is an amazing game with fun, yet deceptively tight and fast-paced action that the devs put a lot of love into, courtesy of Sega AM2. It is absolutely CRIMINAL that I was not only unable to experience this gem in arcades during the 90s (lol limited releases), but iy has also not been ported to a modern console/PC in 2 generations! We need more Sonic the Fighters, dammit! And where's that modern sequel that'll throw Shadow, the rest of the Chaotix and Rouge into the mix?!?!
@@VeloceFirstTM Since the mid-2000s. Game reviewers and sites like ScrewAttack panned this game back when it became widely available via Sonic Gems Collection. A lot of people were writing it off as a "shallow button masher", well into the Xbox 360/PS3 Era. It wasn't until *very* recently when folks like Wusstunes, GuileWinQuote, and other popular Fightin Game YTers starting making videos about how unfathomable based as fuck StF really is. Public opinion on this game has turned around greatly, and I'm all for it. :)
I thought this was a really really basic fighting game when I played it, just because I don’t know the controls, but watching you play just proved to me how wrong I am. This game looks gorgeous as heck, ima go play it again and this time try and learn moves.
I've always wanted to know why there were 8 emeralds but I know there were a lot of isuues with the developers not knowing the names of characters and stuff so it's kinda understandable.
Dang, I forgot all about this one! I remember it being kind of terrible and nonsensical, but in a way that really appealed to me. It was the time in my life I thought "clunky" was good. And I guess I still kind of do. But of course you're much better at it than I ever was.
Mackerel Phones yeahhhh I forgot about this legendary game how can I forget just looking at the music made me realise this is one of the main childhood games in my life opinion lol and the music ahhh
I know I comment on just about all your videos but your descriptions are so good that they inspire me! lol But I see where they were going with it: Virtua Fighter meets Sonic. It's not a bad concept. Problem is, I own this on the Sonic Gems Collection too and the novelty wears off after awhile. I was never into Virtua Fighter anyway so maybe that's my problem. Or maybe the game is mediocre. I don't know. For some reason I want to play Skies of Arcadia now. I never beat that game.
MFields2178 It's all good, I always like to hear people's thoughts. I do those descriptions in part to hopefully inspire some conversation :) I hear what you're saying here, too. I love VF (I really was into 2 and 4 for a long time), but this one really is a super-diet edition, and it gets old quickly. I still find it fun to play for fifteen minutes once in a while, but definitely not hours on end like I can still do with VF2 or VF4Evo. Skies of Arcadia was awesome though, I've played it on the DC. Do you know if the GC port is any different? I want to play it again, and the GC version is way cheaper iirc
I didn't see much difference between the two but as far as differences go, I'm not sure. I never completed neither the DC or GC versions despite really liking the game. For the life of me I don't know why this particular RPG is the one I never beaten. Then again, I beat the Japanese version of FF9 and not the American one. Go figure. Hopefully somebody would know the differences between these two games because I'm curious to know myself.
This game was pretty rare back in the day. Only some arcades had it, and one had to git gud to have the total satisfaction of beating it. Even years later, emulation wasn't widely available yet nor that great, and this collection was pretty much the best way to own an out of arcade copy.
knuclear2010 man I still never emulate but I'm very old skool. I still wear a Walkman. The only 2 games I ever got emulated and I had help was Darkwing Duck for Turbo and The Simpsons Arcade...... For DOS. It sucked. I know it was like closest we got to a home console for the arcade. Wait, I'm getting off track. So yeah, I'm one of those people who buys it from a physical copy. I hate digital.

It doesn't have the depth of Virtua Fighter 2, but Sonic's first ever 3D game certainly makes for a fun, charming, and kiddie-friendly arcade fighter.

Everything about this game, from the gorgeous levels, the characteristically brilliant OST Sonic games are known for, and even the small touches like rings flying out when you get hit, looks so in-tune with the Sonic universe, it may as well be expanding the series' lore!
The hate this game gets will never make sense to me, and I sincerely hope folks warm up to StF someday. Save for a few silly mechanics nobody really likes (really just the comeback system), this is an amazing game with fun, yet deceptively tight and fast-paced action that the devs put a lot of love into, courtesy of Sega AM2. It is absolutely CRIMINAL that I was not only unable to experience this gem in arcades during the 90s (lol limited releases), but iy has also not been ported to a modern console/PC in 2 generations!
We need more Sonic the Fighters, dammit! And where's that modern sequel that'll throw Shadow, the rest of the Chaotix and Rouge into the mix?!?!
This game gets hate? Since when?
@@VeloceFirstTM Since the mid-2000s. Game reviewers and sites like ScrewAttack panned this game back when it became widely available via Sonic Gems Collection. A lot of people were writing it off as a "shallow button masher", well into the Xbox 360/PS3 Era.
It wasn't until *very* recently when folks like Wusstunes, GuileWinQuote, and other popular Fightin Game YTers starting making videos about how unfathomable based as fuck StF really is. Public opinion on this game has turned around greatly, and I'm all for it. :)
I thought this was a really really basic fighting game when I played it, just because I don’t know the controls, but watching you play just proved to me how wrong I am. This game looks gorgeous as heck, ima go play it again and this time try and learn moves.
How did it go
Oye se que hiciste este video ase muchos años pero me puedes decir como te transformartes en super sonic?
I've always wanted to know why there were 8 emeralds but I know there were a lot of isuues with the developers not knowing the names of characters and stuff so it's kinda understandable.
Dang, I forgot all about this one! I remember it being kind of terrible and nonsensical, but in a way that really appealed to me. It was the time in my life I thought "clunky" was good. And I guess I still kind of do.
But of course you're much better at it than I ever was.
Mackerel Phones yeahhhh I forgot about this legendary game how can I forget just looking at the music made me realise this is one of the main childhood games in my life opinion lol and the music ahhh
10:10 Sonic vs Mephiles moment:

2024 and I still miss this game
I know I comment on just about all your videos but your descriptions are so good that they inspire me! lol But I see where they were going with it: Virtua Fighter meets Sonic. It's not a bad concept. Problem is, I own this on the Sonic Gems Collection too and the novelty wears off after awhile. I was never into Virtua Fighter anyway so maybe that's my problem. Or maybe the game is mediocre. I don't know. For some reason I want to play Skies of Arcadia now. I never beat that game.
MFields2178 It's all good, I always like to hear people's thoughts. I do those descriptions in part to hopefully inspire some conversation :) I hear what you're saying here, too. I love VF (I really was into 2 and 4 for a long time), but this one really is a super-diet edition, and it gets old quickly. I still find it fun to play for fifteen minutes once in a while, but definitely not hours on end like I can still do with VF2 or VF4Evo. Skies of Arcadia was awesome though, I've played it on the DC. Do you know if the GC port is any different? I want to play it again, and the GC version is way cheaper iirc
I didn't see much difference between the two but as far as differences go, I'm not sure. I never completed neither the DC or GC versions despite really liking the game. For the life of me I don't know why this particular RPG is the one I never beaten. Then again, I beat the Japanese version of FF9 and not the American one. Go figure. Hopefully somebody would know the differences between these two games because I'm curious to know myself.
This game was pretty rare back in the day. Only some arcades had it, and one had to git gud to have the total satisfaction of beating it. Even years later, emulation wasn't widely available yet nor that great, and this collection was pretty much the best way to own an out of arcade copy.
knuclear2010 man I still never emulate but I'm very old skool. I still wear a Walkman. The only 2 games I ever got emulated and I had help was Darkwing Duck for Turbo and The Simpsons Arcade...... For DOS. It sucked. I know it was like closest we got to a home console for the arcade. Wait, I'm getting off track. So yeah, I'm one of those people who buys it from a physical copy. I hate digital.
Emulation is good when it's something very very rare, or very very old but Nintendo wants you to pay 5$ for it again...again
