It's fine if you missed the triple jump and never knew about it until needed, but Arin had already used the triple jump plenty of times before the part where he completely forgot about it.
Look, the reason the game sucks is because Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric was supposed to be a 1080p game for the Xbox One. But then Sega was like “hey button, put this game exclusively on the WiiU” and they were like “sure bro.” But then they realized the game they had could not work on WiiU because it’s hardware is to weak to play the game. So they had to COMPLETELY redo the game. Cool combos were scrapped. ENTIRE LEVELS WERE DELETED!! And big red button didn’t even know there was a show, so they had to change a bit of story to connect with the show. And they were on so much of a time limit, they couldn’t fix the bugs. They worked so hard on a game that could’ve been a great game, but it all got thrown away.
me too and that's the only thing I don't like about this new format. Other than that I liked it but I have to give it one more game like a game that's actually completeable and not a gliched filled one like this to see if the format works best
Trainer Your procrastinating aren't you yeah right? Why else would you have that for the name and as the sub title for the game? Was it going to be a musical game at some point but got dropped but they said "fuck it" and kept the name anyway?
forasquem I think that since high watch time is good for RUclipsrs, Jirard probably wanted to remove the spoilers section so more people can watch the whole video instead of just 3/4s of it.
Yeah. I know the RUclips Algorithm favors channels that have videos which people watch the majority of. It's about retention time. I'm sad it's gone too, but a lot of people probably skipped that section and it meant loss in potential subscribers due to a lack of promotion because of that. So that's probably why the section was removed.
since i don't really play too many different games, the spoiler section was really nice because i got to learn about the stories of games i may never play
In my opinion, this game is not that bad as a generic adventure game, but, as a a Sonic game, it's terrible. It has little to do with Sonic and what made him great.
Yep. Actually learning about the game is one of the major parts about Completionist. You know, to learn about the stuff we don't know because we didn't complete it.

this is not as bad as sonic 06 if anything it is quite entertaining as long as your not going into it for the story and just for the crazy things that can occur
No no, 06 so bad it make me want to smash it, even Sonic denied that game exited (canon) rice of lyric on the other hand, I buy it 2 months ago and it’s actually enjoyable, sure it had some nonsense scene but there’s surprisingly smooth and definitely not as bad as people tell me, though I was pretty disappoint about the music :(

Yeah, aside from Hotel Mario, none of the games has been called as one of the worst video games of all time. Kind of sad Sonic is suffering hard while Mario(aside from a few titles)hasn't haved that.

Donate it to a recycling plant? I'd imagine the plastic, paper and whatever the discs are made out of can be used for something that's, well, not shitty.
I actually feel bad for everyone who was involved in the development of Rise of Lyric. Even though the game is terrible, the animation of it was really well made and I was actually impressed. At least the TV show is good.
Yeah, I heard that the development team had a terrible time with Sonic Boom since Sega didn't mention that they were changing game engines in middle of development and on top of that, they put a time limit at the end of the year so they had to rush development so that the game was complete which resulted in this disaster.
Stefannofornari ™ They we're actually screwed by the marketing team framerates and things would have been fixed if the game was on the Xbox1 and PS4 like it was supposed to Sega just forgot about the deal they had with Nintendo for 3 exclusive titles and the game was ported to Wii U very late in development which destroyed the game itself. The get still would have been forgettable at best but it wouldn't have been awful.

Can you please bring back the spoiler section? I enjoyed seeing the endings and other spoilers of games that I didn't play and would love to see them come back.
I love how you guys are always trying to improve. I used to be a supporter on Patreon but had to stop due to a change in finance but I feel so good about supporting this channel. Keep doing great things and I can really see this channel growing into something bigger. Maybe a show on tv.
And now he's a shell of his former self. Hell, he doesn't even talk about Sonic. He's just a man clinging onto financial support, pretending to be transgender so he'll get more attention.
Donate it? Thats just a dick move.. there should be a rating that deems the game un donatable or just discard/destroy it. That just shows how bad and worse Sonic Boom is
There needs to be another change then. Quite frank, I believe he was being too kind by saying 06 was just as bad as Boom when really Boom is the worst. In 06, there were a few instances that shows effort was put into the game, then it actually has some damn good tracks. To make it worse, Rise of Lyric is 8 years newer and here it is being compared to an older terrible game, even by visuals.
CM Pork Well personally, I think recycling it is the best method because the game would be completely destroyed and that material could be reused for better games!!!!! I personally never played it but I saw footage and even from the commercial, it looked terrible!
This game clearly was not optimized. How can we have a smooth 60fps 1080p in something as chaotic as Sm4sh, and this game falls apart at the slightest push? Clearly some optimization issues at work.
So, Big Red Button was making a game and was showing it around to various studios. And Sega said, "we like it, put Sonic in it." But then later Sega said, "By the way, we know you were designing this for PC with the CryEngine, but this is a Wii U exclusive now." Since CryEngine isn't optimized for Wii U, and they were previously told they'd have a lot more power to work with, Sega basically fucked them over by forcing this game into their 3 game deal with Nintendo. So, that's the main reason behind the technical issues.
masterofdoom5000 Sega clearly didn't give a fuck. Clearly all they wanted was a licensed game for the Sonic Boom show to come out near when the show started and to also finish up their 3 game deal with Nintendo at the same time.
I am the only one on Earth that thinks that but I actually like Sonic Boom Rise Of Lyric. I love how funny the game is and the fact that the character talk with each other in the level. I also really love how glitchy the game is because it adds an extra power/objective to the game. When I played the game for the first time, I skipped two levels of the game including the one that features time travel by spamming spindash attacks with Sonic on a locked door and I somehow glitched through it and got the level behind it. It made my second time going through the game incredibly fun as I actually discovered what I had missed my first time playing Sonic Boom. I actually really like the new designs for the character especially chunky Knuckles because he is just so funny looking but also much better proportionated. The multiplayer was just so good as I had a blast going through the game with my little brother and the four character thing reminded me of Super Mario 3D World. The new whip attack was so fun and intuitive to use and the speed segments were a lot of fun too. The hub area was funny to mess around in and I just really enjoyed the game overall which is really surprising to me as I am not that much of Sonic fan normally.
I actually love the new character designs... also, while most of the writing was terrible, three lines made me laugh in one of the earlier cutscenes. "You know what's better than an ambush?" "An ambush with ice cream?" "That sounds delicious, but no."
My favorite cutscenes was where Knuckles hit Sonic on the back and loses a ring or two. The character design is different, and most people don't accept changes.
I like the designs except for Knuckles. That just looks ridiculous, he has no neck and just looks like some beefed up steroid head with no brain cells. Also it's just weird that they all have similar body types except for him.
I liked knowing the end of a game I couldn't be bothered with finishing. But I get why it's gone, it kind of broke the flow of the rest of the content, being the only section that is exclusively about story, while the rest focused on gameplay.
+Fox Mc Loud ... to see whether or not the person recommends it or not? You don't look up a review to see the ending, if you played it before, you look it up for the person's input. If you have not played it before, you're looking if you want to play the game or not. Not to un-play it because of a spoiler. Yes, Jirard puts spoilers in his reviews before, but they are warned ahead of time and given a time stamp so that the viewer who has not played the game can actually play the game.
BassSinger313 / Aaron Vo instead of looking up or watching an in depth overall review of a game, why not just look up a rating on google, and looking at the other user reviews there?
It's a shame that one bad game can make people who aren't fans of Sonic think an entire sub franchise is bad, without even giving the cartoon or Sonic Boom Fire & Ice a chance. Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric had potential to be a good looking game, better yet a decent one. If BigRedButton hadn't received a strict release schedule, and having this game be announced as a Wii U exclusive then this game would have been alright. They honestly should have waited until Season 2 to air (airing on 29th October), then release the game for anything but Wii U.
Well one of the main problems is that this game was supposed to be multiplatform. So it was designed with the Xbox One development Kits. However due to the Sega/Nintendo deal they needed a third exclusive for the Wii U. Thanks to the tight release schedule (seriously you'd think companies would learn that shoving a game out is an awful idea) they had to basically jury rig a way to make an Xbox One developed game run only on the Wii U. It was a mess. I feel bad for Big Red Button, they got royally screwed by their higher ups.
And there's another thing. BigRedButton started having development troubles and a loss in employees, which future cemented its execution. Big shame really.
I find it very hard to find a videogame that is easy enough and interesting for the 5-9 year old age group. After playing some of this I actually think it may be a pretty good kids game.
I'm sooo happy that you got rid of the spoilers. It was my biggest gripe with the show, and now I can watch these without worrying about getting spoiled anymore! =D
Sadly, my uncle is a video game designer and he actually helped make this game. When he told me about it before it was even announced when I was 12, I thought it was super awesome he was working on a Sonic game, but that was before I found out how modern-day Sonic games are practically shit so I felt kind of bad for him when I saw the rating the game got.
There's actually a good explanation for the gameplay. Big Red Button had 3 gameplay engines designed for specific consoles. One for PS3/Xbox 360, one for PS4/Xbox ONE, and one for Wii U. Apparently, Big Red Button used the wrong engine (PS4/Xbox ONE engine) and realized it too late with the Wii U version that was released. This is one of the two reasons why the gameplay and graphics are so awful is that they used a more powerful engine on a weaker system.

Syafik Suhaimi yeah but then theres a really high chance youll get the same ad and youll probably end up wasting about 40 seconds trying to get rid of it and waiting through the whole thing anyway. It suuuuucks
I watched Kevduit play this game and the moment that shut down my brain and convinced me this IS worse than Sonic 06 was "Look ramps!" "We can use these as ramps!" ARGH!
Speaking of Donate it, I found a copy of this at my local goodwill, and was about to buy it because Y'know, $4 for this pile isn't that bad, until I opened the case and found Rise of the Guardians on Wii in place of the disc. The poor bastard hated herself so much she vanished and left another licensed game in her place.
Who Plays we haven't gotten any gameplay footage of it yet, so I don't wanna hype it up just yet. Since the team behind project 2017 made generations, I'm assuming it'll be wonderful though. :)
Kevin Gould It might have something to do with my general dislike of vocals of women in music. Nothing against that, but I find that it generally is less appealing to me.
Luke Thoennes Even THEN it's not new because the happy tree friend writters kept screwing with the franchise's writing since Colors. And now they are working on boom.
That can never happen. Sonic Boom is not specifically a Guile move. It's a natural phenomena as well. If something breaks the sound barrier it produces a Sonic Boom.

But sega told red big button
that it's coming to wii u not

I love how you guys are always trying to improve. I used to be a supporter on Patreon but had to stop due to a change in finance but I feel so good about supporting this channel. Keep doing great things and I can really see this channel growing into something bigger. Maybe a show on tv.
"SONIC'S ARMS AREN'T BLUE!!!"
Waverace100 This ain't my sannic.
Nerd
And now he's a shell of his former self. Hell, he doesn't even talk about Sonic. He's just a man clinging onto financial support, pretending to be transgender so he'll get more attention.
Zach Jira, Wow, your clearly blind, his arms are blue idiot!
Calder Worthington they weren't blue before sonic boom existed
I don't know why, but Sonic's run animation (not moving fast) is kind of satisfying to watch.
It’s hilarious that the Sonic game doesn’t run well.
It may be fake but this games only help can be some blast processing
@@kepercrabs6577 it isn't fake. Idiot.
@@drippyog3935 bruh it was a joke lmao
Donate it? Thats just a dick move.. there should be a rating that deems the game un donatable or just discard/destroy it. That just shows how bad and worse Sonic Boom is
they changed it after 06
There needs to be another change then. Quite frank, I believe he was being too kind by saying 06 was just as bad as Boom when really Boom is the worst. In 06, there were a few instances that shows effort was put into the game, then it actually has some damn good tracks. To make it worse, Rise of Lyric is 8 years newer and here it is being compared to an older terrible game, even by visuals.
CM Pork Or put it in the recycling bin!
or flush it. its a piece of shit anyways
CM Pork Well personally, I think recycling it is the best method because the game would be completely destroyed and that material could be reused for better games!!!!! I personally never played it but I saw footage and even from the commercial, it looked terrible!
I think Jirard needs a hug.
This game clearly was not optimized. How can we have a smooth 60fps 1080p in something as chaotic as Sm4sh, and this game falls apart at the slightest push? Clearly some optimization issues at work.
So, Big Red Button was making a game and was showing it around to various studios.
And Sega said, "we like it, put Sonic in it."
But then later Sega said, "By the way, we know you were designing this for PC with the CryEngine, but this is a Wii U exclusive now." Since CryEngine isn't optimized for Wii U, and they were previously told they'd have a lot more power to work with, Sega basically fucked them over by forcing this game into their 3 game deal with Nintendo.
So, that's the main reason behind the technical issues.
hi kohdok
Well Smash is a fighter. they don't explode in environments
Maybe someone shoulda told Sega the CREATORS OF THE CRYTEK ENGINE couldn't get it to work in the Wii U.....hell they'e probably try anyway.
masterofdoom5000 Sega clearly didn't give a fuck.
Clearly all they wanted was a licensed game for the Sonic Boom show to come out near when the show started and to also finish up their 3 game deal with Nintendo at the same time.
This video was my introduction to the completionist. What a fun first impression.
I want my spoiler section back....
Same here
I'm never going to play this game so I might as well know the ending.
Don't watch the video and unsub to the channel.
+AJTComicsBrand no, just peaceful protest man, jirard is a sweet sweet man and he shouldnt suffer
AJTComicsBrand you must be fun a parties.
Isn't donating it a much more cruel fate as you are imparting suffering unto others with a game of such notoriety?
I'm gonna miss the spoiler section :(
and then sonic mania/forces was announced and all who witnessed it were blessed
I don't know about forces. Mania is good though.
A StupidGenius
Forces is gonna suck.
Sam Snyder ... I don't know how I feel about this. What are your reasons?
Zain Dhanani
www.gamefaqs.com/boards/193374-sonic-forces/75807790
I wrote this.
Sam Snyder Alright, if that's how you feel
To answer your question of when we're going to get a new good Sonic game, I have two words: Sonic Mania.
MetalSmasherGaming I think he meant 3D, but that's not possible
lark - show Forces was good
Rob D. Idk man, I found it kinda dissapointing and frustrating.
I am the only one on Earth that thinks that but I actually like Sonic Boom Rise Of Lyric. I love how funny the game is and the fact that the character talk with each other in the level. I also really love how glitchy the game is because it adds an extra power/objective to the game. When I played the game for the first time, I skipped two levels of the game including the one that features time travel by spamming spindash attacks with Sonic on a locked door and I somehow glitched through it and got the level behind it. It made my second time going through the game incredibly fun as I actually discovered what I had missed my first time playing Sonic Boom. I actually really like the new designs for the character especially chunky Knuckles because he is just so funny looking but also much better proportionated. The multiplayer was just so good as I had a blast going through the game with my little brother and the four character thing reminded me of Super Mario 3D World. The new whip attack was so fun and intuitive to use and the speed segments were a lot of fun too. The hub area was funny to mess around in and I just really enjoyed the game overall which is really surprising to me as I am not that much of Sonic fan normally.
I actually like the Sonic Boom redesign. I think it's cool. But yeah, the game is awful.
i felt knuckles' was great
Sonic and Tails are fine i guess but i really hate the new designs of Knuckles and Amy.
I actually love the new character designs... also, while most of the writing was terrible, three lines made me laugh in one of the earlier cutscenes.
"You know what's better than an ambush?"
"An ambush with ice cream?"
"That sounds delicious, but no."
My favorite cutscenes was where Knuckles hit Sonic on the back and loses a ring or two.
The character design is different, and most people don't accept changes.
I like the designs except for Knuckles. That just looks ridiculous, he has no neck and just looks like some beefed up steroid head with no brain cells. Also it's just weird that they all have similar body types except for him.
24:47 exactly how I felt when completing shattered crystal
Donate it?!?! you should say that you should throw it in an active VOLCANO!!!
I miss the spoilers, the segments are great but no spoilers suck.
Just please bring back the old segments and format please.
If you don't want it to be spoiled for you, why are you watching a review on it in the first place?
I liked knowing the end of a game I couldn't be bothered with finishing. But I get why it's gone, it kind of broke the flow of the rest of the content, being the only section that is exclusively about story, while the rest focused on gameplay.
+Fox Mc Loud ... to see whether or not the person recommends it or not? You don't look up a review to see the ending, if you played it before, you look it up for the person's input. If you have not played it before, you're looking if you want to play the game or not. Not to un-play it because of a spoiler. Yes, Jirard puts spoilers in his reviews before, but they are warned ahead of time and given a time stamp so that the viewer who has not played the game can actually play the game.
BassSinger313 / Aaron Vo instead of looking up or watching an in depth overall review of a game, why not just look up a rating on google, and looking at the other user reviews there?
They Should Of Called This Sonic Boom Break Of Sanity...
It's a shame that one bad game can make people who aren't fans of Sonic think an entire sub franchise is bad, without even giving the cartoon or Sonic Boom Fire & Ice a chance.
Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric had potential to be a good looking game, better yet a decent one. If BigRedButton hadn't received a strict release schedule, and having this game be announced as a Wii U exclusive then this game would have been alright. They honestly should have waited until Season 2 to air (airing on 29th October), then release the game for anything but Wii U.
EAPvideoz yeah people are very stubborn
Well one of the main problems is that this game was supposed to be multiplatform. So it was designed with the Xbox One development Kits. However due to the Sega/Nintendo deal they needed a third exclusive for the Wii U. Thanks to the tight release schedule (seriously you'd think companies would learn that shoving a game out is an awful idea) they had to basically jury rig a way to make an Xbox One developed game run only on the Wii U. It was a mess. I feel bad for Big Red Button, they got royally screwed by their higher ups.
Thank God someone said it
I mean C'MON! It's not even trying to be a Sonic game. So why say the whole series is shit because of one bad game that wasn't Sonic in tone or spirit
And there's another thing. BigRedButton started having development troubles and a loss in employees, which future cemented its execution. Big shame really.
I find it very hard to find a videogame that is easy enough and interesting for the 5-9 year old age group. After playing some of this I actually think it may be a pretty good kids game.
You have made the most heroic sacrifice for all of us, thank you
Jirard: “I know you’re still in there, dammit. I can feel you.”
I really want to say “That’s what she said,” but just this once, I’m not going to.
11:55 Weren't you that one kid in PE that you're referring to?
Sonic boom, Sonic boom. Sonic boo...wait

I'm sooo happy that you got rid of the spoilers. It was my biggest gripe with the show, and now I can watch these without worrying about getting spoiled anymore! =D
Sadly, my uncle is a video game designer and he actually helped make this game. When he told me about it before it was even announced when I was 12, I thought it was super awesome he was working on a Sonic game, but that was before I found out how modern-day Sonic games are practically shit so I felt kind of bad for him when I saw the rating the game got.
ArmosAviator Holy fuck, he must have knowledge about the Synergy phase of the project! Ask him! Is the NDA over yet?
ArmosAviator riggggght
totally true you fucking compulsive liar
Fullllllll of shiiiiiiiiit
ArmosAviator so your uncle..Works at Sega?
Well, there we a go, a new horror game after "my uncle works at Nintendo"
Sometimes I worry about Jirards health...
The things he does... Ain't healthy man, ain't healthy...
leandrasin your pic is fitting for this command XD
lol
remember when he did skyrim god knows what would hapen if he tried daggerfall XD
There's actually a good explanation for the gameplay. Big Red Button had 3 gameplay engines designed for specific consoles. One for PS3/Xbox 360, one for PS4/Xbox ONE, and one for Wii U. Apparently, Big Red Button used the wrong engine (PS4/Xbox ONE engine) and realized it too late with the Wii U version that was released. This is one of the two reasons why the gameplay and graphics are so awful is that they used a more powerful engine on a weaker system.
17:41-17:55 *Seeing the legit pain and anguish in Jirard's voice knowing it's more legitimate than usual Twitch streamers rage fills you with laughter at the expense of others*
*Your LOVE increased*
This man completed Sonic Boom, Sonic 06, and Superman 64. Someone give him a godamn medal
Don’t forget the HELL that was hyrule warriors definitive edition
How have I gone this long not being aware this show exists. My favorite thing in RUclips now
13:20
In the fine words of John tron. That one didn't age quite so well
That intro is literally me playing games all night going insane lol
What songs are he using in this video? Godammit, Jirard! Start listing your music in the description!
Cousin Timbo Tousen I'm never going to figure out what song plays at 20:00
This song comes from Sonic Generations on the 3DS ruclips.net/video/y_2g8zjh8os/видео.html
which is a remix of the saturn theme for 3D Blast ruclips.net/video/jTEOidLMi9g/видео.html
The one at the end sequence was sonic boom, as in the song from the opening cutscenes of sonic cd.
when there's a 30 second ad you cant skip...
THEREDCAP gross...
This might be one week late, but if that ever happens, just refresh the video and it might play a new and skippable ad
ok. thanks for the tip!
Syafik Suhaimi yeah but then theres a really high chance youll get the same ad and youll probably end up wasting about 40 seconds trying to get rid of it and waiting through the whole thing anyway. It suuuuucks
7 tales Thanks. But I'd like to support the content creators of the stuff I consume, so no thanks
I watched Kevduit play this game and the moment that shut down my brain and convinced me this IS worse than Sonic 06 was
"Look ramps!" "We can use these as ramps!"
ARGH!
I remember back then when my friend was getting this game for his birthday...
I suddenly feel bad for him now XD
Sonic 06' was better than this piece of garbage, because with all of its faults at least it had some of the best music in the series
And you can't go wrong with that scene where Shadow kicks Silver in the back of the head.
Damn only time I've seen a reaction similar to this was when he completed Superman 64 lol
Speaking of Donate it, I found a copy of this at my local goodwill, and was about to buy it because Y'know, $4 for this pile isn't that bad, until I opened the case and found Rise of the Guardians on Wii in place of the disc. The poor bastard hated herself so much she vanished and left another licensed game in her place.
Lucky
I can imagine that would be better than this game
Why does this game treat me like an idiot?
Sonic Boom: You bought me!
"Generations music intestifies"
If anyone says they liked Rise of Lyric... they're a SEGA or Big Red Button employee.
The Sonic Boom cartoon is AMAZING, one of the funniest shows I have ever sen
This is probably the best sonic episode you’ve ever made.
Don't worry Jirard, Sonic Mania is on it's way to give you some long awaited good lovin.
Metro Senpai and don't forget sonic 2017
Who Plays we haven't gotten any gameplay footage of it yet, so I don't wanna hype it up just yet. Since the team behind project 2017 made generations, I'm assuming it'll be wonderful though. :)
***** yeah because while they announced they sounded more...
CONFIDENT wich I've hadn't see that since the video game war in the 90s
You've finished an unfinished game. I give you props
That monster he mentioned, has come back with that new movie.
At least the monster learned his lesson because it's a pretty good movie. Heck, it's the best game to movie adaptation ever made, seriously.
10:40
Oh my goodness... Knuckles what have they done to you?!
"Pink, pink means Amy" unless you are arin
Let me guess...he thought it was for Knux
Arin sucks at video games
Well, Arin isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the tool shed.
It is so hard to watch the game grumps play anything requiring the slightest amount of skill.
MrCraftingchannel I was thinking the exact same thing. God Arin cannot focus when he is talking.
as a metroid fan i get sad but then i remember poor sonic fans....
megaman fans should be on suicide watch
the difference is that the first and almost every subsequent Metroid game is fantastic.
while sonic since game 1 was bad.
lasarousi The only bad main line Sonic games were Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom.
+The Quester Wrong, sonic boom isnt a main game.
Sonic boom is a spinoff. Not main
The dance at the end of Shattered Crystal is at least better than Hestu's Gift from the new Zelda for getting 900 Korok Seeds
Someone had to complete it, red Button wasn't going to
The ending song is so good!
sonic cd's sonic boom is the best ever.
I have strong feelings against this, but whateves.
Anybody know the song at 20:00?
***** i dont think i've ever met a single sonic fan from the start the didnt like the song sonic boom.
Kevin Gould
It might have something to do with my general dislike of vocals of women in music. Nothing against that, but I find that it generally is less appealing to me.
For me, the change made it feel new, while keeping the familiar vibe.
There was little familiar with Sonic.
I think he meant the style of the show...
I hope you're talking about the show, because this game needs more than a familiar vibe to be worth anything.
Yes I meant the show.
Luke Thoennes Even THEN it's not new because the happy tree friend writters kept screwing with the franchise's writing since Colors. And now they are working on boom.
Don’t blame BigRedButton,blame SEGA for making BigRedButton develop the game faster.
He didn’t get the star in creter lake because he gave it to Amy earlier
I actually like this Tails's design, but the rest is just... Ugh
Yes im really fond of tails and occasionally Amy's new design but everything else is just no
I kinda hope that Sonic Social Media tweets at Jirard with a picture of a gold star.
Thank you Jirard. Thank you for confirming everything.
The new assets are neat, but they really don't fit with the intro. Also, not having the full rating scale visible seems wrong somehow.
Sonic boom,more like SONIC BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Am I right?
I"m surprised that Capcom didn't sue Sonic Boom for using copyrighted move, lol
They had a copyrighted move? :/
COMIC FIRUKO Guile's signature move is Sonic Boom
I thought you meant Knuckles' Rising tackle ripped from Final Fight
Pet-Purple- Panda Didn't noticed that. I rarely play as Terry in any of the SNK games.
That can never happen. Sonic Boom is not specifically a Guile move.
It's a natural phenomena as well.
If something breaks the sound barrier it produces a Sonic Boom.
2:50, little did he know… something was right around the corner
