To be fair, that's basically how it is in the Perfect Chaos fight. Super Sonic's speed really isn't faster than Sonic's. But like he DOES get flung if you hit a dash pannel and get sent off a ramp. It's noticable here because the Perfect Chaos fight was built with the flinging in mind whereas normal stages aren't.

@Kuriz, the plural being 'Kurizes' Monkey's paw: now all Sonic games are nothing but running in straight lines. Seriously though, one of the biggest advantages of SA1 physics was the kind of jumps you could pull off. Spindash + jumping at the height of your momentum could launch you like a cannonball (bonus points if you have even a slight incline to ramp off of), and you had enough height + low enough gravity to pull off some really neat stuff. Heroes was the beginning of the end of big jumps, as the spindash is gimmicked, air momentum is nerfed, and the camera hates fun more than any other 3D Sonic.
@@jeremyabbott4537 SA2 Sonic/Shadow felt pretty good. The spindash jumps were still good in SA2, even if some levels weren't as open. SA2 also had the best rail-grinding in the series, mastering it is incredibly satisfying. My only gripe is that mapping every action to one button was a mistake. Somersaulting when you intended to spindash, bouncing when you intended to light dash, whistling when you intended to do anything but whistle, mash Y to magic hands/sunglasses, etc. It's something I eventually got used to and mastered, but the DC had 4 face buttons and a D-pad that had _nothing_ mapped to it, and it bothers me that they did it this way. My guess is that they thought having that many actions on different buttons would get confusing, there's probably an interview floating around somewhere saying as much.
@@jeremyabbott4537 Cool. I'll have to try that when I get a decent PC. I also forgot to mention that I love the scoring system from SA2, getting points and compliments for doing stylish stuff was so much fun. It's always a treat when you find a new one that you didn't even realize existed.
@@Diwasho I guess it's because Gamma doesn't really have an equivalent in Heroes in terms of control, while I know that Omega exists, he controls like Knuckles right?
I always felt like it was strange to make Sonic decently fast in his games while everyone else was moderately slow like humans. It makes more sense to me that, since characters like Amy and Knuckles are still animals, they would still be pretty quick on their feet. Sonic would just be moderately/noticeably faster because he has abnormal speed. In short the reaction players have should always be "wow, Sonic is fast!", never "wow, these other characters are slow"
It's crazy to think that the power characters' speed in Heroes roughly equals to Knuckles' speed in Adventure. They felt so slow in comparison to the speed ones, in Adventure there isn't that much of adifference between Knuckles and Sonic. It just shows how fast the gameplay is in Heroes
Well, sorry if I'm late, but there is a Heroes PC Port, but it's now Abandoware and you'll have to search for some fixes so that it works on current Windows systems. And there's also a physics swap mod for that as well, just not as handy as the Adventure one from what I've seen, having to change the values yourself.
I remember explaining the bump in acceleration and the twitchy nature of turning in another Sonic Heroes video to someone who didn't think there was a change in physics.
Speed in games really isn't easy to pull off as is clear from this. However, the controls can be improved quite easily. Turn control must be taken away the faster you go in order to make it easier to move such that the rate at which you turn at regular speed is the same at max speed. That's a simple change. The analog stick represents the vector you want to move in relative to the character position. Speed then modulates the rate at which the character turns such that the character is facing the same direction as the vector. For normal walking speed, this can be instantaneous or near-instantaneous; for high speeds, this can be really slow. The method of interpolation can of course be non-linear and the curve fine-tuned so as to get things feeling just right.
This is an impressive and informative presentation. Thank you for the effort you went through to pull the resources together to enact this, for actually enacting this, and for presenting it to us and the effort involved in all of that, plus editing. It reminds me how much I'd love for an open-world Sonic Adventure-esque Sonic 3D title to be tried again - even with all that is in significant need of improvement.
and here we are, soon to experience "kinda Adventure-esque" Frontiers :> though it's more like Unleashed physics, I hope it will have at least some momentum
@@stasyandr563it was nowhere near unleashed physics and the momentum could’ve been annoying that you just don’t get to explore because your out of boost in a pit
My guess about he dash pad thing, is that dash pads on SA1 set your character top speed to value X, taking into consideration the original physics of the game, and when you put in the modified physics the character's top speed is instead Y, so the dash pads make you slower overall.
7:10 Surprised the heroes physics is faster there, always found when running along Hang Castle at the end of the level with Heroes was slower than the descend in Speed Highway in SA1.
Hmmm... heroes physics knuckles and Amy look fun to play with here. 🤔 I always loved how Sa1 animations matched the speed stats one is in. Seeing this makes me see the pain devs go through balancing sonic characters throughout the series (well at least Dreamcast era )
It's funny, I remember encountering the spring issue back in like 2007 when hacking in Amy as a playable character to Windy Valley with an action replay for my gamecube. As soon as I saw it listed, I knew what the example was going to be lol. I tried so hard back then to complete the level, but to no avail.
This video made me realize how much of a difference the run cycle makes in a sonic game. The ones with a lot of sped up up/down movement look bad, and the best looking ones are where sonic has a smoother animation designed for fast running.
it is like heroes, except changing direction in the air is almost nonexistent and the amount of speed you gain is so sudden and it isn't easy to turn around when running, its like skating in ice
Amy’s speed in base SA isn’t a big issue because she’s not physically gifted like Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are. She can’t roll into a ball nor can she maintain their speeds because that’s not the point with her. If you play her in her own stages, her stages are built around that fact and show her struggling with a badnik that we know any of those 3 would tear through just to really drive that point home.
The spring and control locking issues make me nostalgic for Sonic World. Some old custom stages would have bugs here and there when new releases of the game came out. I also remember it could cause camera issues sometimes. I remember fixing some of the bugs myself since you could go straight into the stage files. Made me feel like a programmer.
Sonic: Gotta go FAAAASSSST!!! The game physics: Please. Don’t. We can’t handle it. You’ll die. The Classic 3D games: We….. don’t do that here. Amy: What about me? The game physics: You WILL get nothing and Ike it young lady >:( ……….. Amy: :’( The MODIFIED game physics: *speaks like a sassy black hairstylist* Here Guuuuuuuurllllll. You can have all of the speed with none of the drawbacks baby. Go tear your levels up GURRRRRRRLLLLL. Yasss queen! Amy: :D ……… Knuckles: …….. So….. this is what it’s like to be on hard drugs…. Unlike Sonic….. I don’t chuckle.
And one more thing, this serves to show to the adventure-gameplay critics that indeed Sonic Adventure always had a very well tuned physics and indeed you were able to control the characters and at the same time have speed. This only shows how Sonic team, sega and whoever took control of the sonic games development after 2004 only destroyed the series and to this day some people still talk s*t of how unplayable sonic 3d is and that they should stick to boost/2d formula. Like, wth?
There's this clip in one of Moist Critikal's podcast (the Noah Munk one) where one of the guys goes randomly on vague tangent on Sonic and it's so clear the dude barely and I mean barely play any Sonic games but still was talking shit about it it's unnironacly very funny but not for the reasons he intended Like they use Unleashed on the Wii and Adventure DX as example and I'm like "Oh so the bad ports r enough proof? Dude every franchise as a bad port at least somewhere"
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it would make more sense for DC model to represent the original SA1 physics considering it was the first SA1 model, but you know, I don't really care
This is why SA1/2 are superior to Heroes and most of modern games. Especially SA1, the level design is breathtaking and something comparable to Classic Sonic games. If they just polished the engine further and kept level design philosophy of SA1, we would get constant gold
Although I enjoy SA1's levels, they're generally quite basic and the learning curve is usually the same "tight spin-dash jump". That, and extra rings and lives aren't a good enough incentive to get the most out of them considering the generally easy difficulty and the removal of archaic design choices like limited continues.
I loved the '3 sub-stages' on each level, at least for Sonic. How the guy above said, but for those times ufff Now just boost like there's no tomorrow and if you stop or move aside the game will automatically put you on the way :^/ that happens on SA1 too but isn't too annoying
Well Heroes takes the most inspiration from the classic games in terms of aesthetic and level design, but regardless, I don't think that makes the Adventure games objectively superior to any other game. It's all about perspective and how the many parts compliment each other.
that speed shoes swerving bit that made me go "hey, isn't that literally how sonic battle R controls?" completely different game, yeah, but the similarity shocked me. I just think its neat
At first, I was a little sad Sonic didn't keep his poor traction from heroes, but then I realized its better here as the game is only about controlling 1 character at a time, not 3. You'd want Sonic to be more precise in Adventure, whereas in Heroes, the speed characters' low traction and high acceleration are balanced out by the other 2 team members having lower acceleration and better traction. I might give this mod a try. Looks fun.
I never noticed how bad the physics were in Heroes as a kid, or at least enough to actually put into words what exactly was wrong with them. But I do remember jumping a lot to reset my momentum or switching to flight, because running on the ground next to any sort of cliff or pit was suicide.
Catastrophic? Naw that's overblowing it. For some characters, it does help, the only real bad thing are the scripts that can break as a result of the physics change.
To this day even, I still consider SA1 to have pretty great controls for Sonic. I think that Sega made him too fast in the future games, and the introduction of the boost gameplay in my opinion took away from the exploration aspect that Adventure was built around. I have not played Frontiers, wondering if he controls well given he's in an open world.
"The adventure games are known for smooth controlling of its characters." Barely a minute in and you lost me. Don't get me wrong, I love both games, even the gc ports, but they're not necessarily *known* for good controls.
@@TZMHBT Thanks lol That's my boi "Unknown by me" made me a knuckles fan when I was a kid Also playing as him in the mega collection(sonic and knuckles ftw)
How so? Air acceleration, ground acceleration and speed have the exact values of Heroes. Traction wasn't able to be modified so that's 3/4 things that were changed and that's without going into every value related to each of the properties I mentioned earlier. Definitely more than 50% accurate.
@@vidamansa1337 "Complete Physics Preset & Stage Fix Combo-Patch" on gamebanana. It still plays nothing like Adventure in reality,(Because Heroes obviously uses the physics diffrently) but it certainly is a lot more easy to control in my book.
I knew there was a reason I always hated Amy’s gameplay in SA1, and it’s because the idea of being hunted down while being unreasonably slow in a game that’s supposed to be about going fast stresses me tf out.
I wish I have the ability to make a mod for Sonic Adventure 2 where Sonic & Shadow has the movement of Sonic Adventure 1, more smoother movement just like S.A.1. As well as smoother models for the characters, still looks the same but with much higher poly count.
You should try it with Sonic Forces physics where the acceleration of Sonic's running speed is exponential, as in: .05, .11, .24, .45, 1, 2.5, 10, 100.

Speed in games really isn't easy to pull off as is clear from this. However, the controls can be improved quite easily. Turn control must be taken away the faster you go in order to make it easier to move such that the rate at which you turn at regular speed is the same at max speed. That's a simple change. The analog stick represents the vector you want to move in relative to the character position. Speed then modulates the rate at which the character turns such that the character is facing the same direction as the vector.

The method of interpolation can of course be non-linear and the curve fine-tuned so as to get things feeling just right.

You mean the one in the introduction? Yeah that one's fire, a guy named SonicFreak made that one. All music I used is linked in the description!
Knuckles was vibin with the beat
Big was left behind, rip fatcat.
Frontiers open world has adventure level fluidity
The runing animation is dope
I never noticed how bad the physics were in Heroes as a kid, or at least enough to actually put into words what exactly was wrong with them. But I do remember jumping a lot to reset my momentum or switching to flight, because running on the ground next to any sort of cliff or pit was suicide.
Well this mod doesn't replicate the friction 100% as characters don't land with full speed.
I think most of that is bc the level design for heroes was designed for those said physics, so you wouldnt notice
Heroes physics feel like driving an army tank while overdosing on xanax.
6:31 LOOKS LIKE TEAM SONICS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!
6:24 I think those guys who made the "Unbeatable" theme song for Pokémon actually meant the stage, not Ash. =)
This mod is just plain catastrophic.
Catastrophic? Naw that's overblowing it. For some characters, it does help, the only real bad thing are the scripts that can break as a result of the physics change.
That's sonics true power
SONIC HEROES PHYSICS
The whale could get finicky even with original physics. the adventure series is up there with the early pokemon games as glitchy classics
9:26
Sonic be like
"Oh no spiky balls, I ain't touchin dat!"
This sounds like a nightmare
this music in the background firee
To this day even, I still consider SA1 to have pretty great controls for Sonic. I think that Sega made him too fast in the future games, and the introduction of the boost gameplay in my opinion took away from the exploration aspect that Adventure was built around.
I have not played Frontiers, wondering if he controls well given he's in an open world.
0:45 yoo knuckles is on fire
"The adventure games are known for smooth controlling of its characters."
Barely a minute in and you lost me. Don't get me wrong, I love both games, even the gc ports, but they're not necessarily *known* for good controls.
2:10 I wouldn't really say "do justice". Since in sa2 she's shafted, heroes she's the baby mode team captain, and in 06 she's ya know...
Nice Comparison Video 🔥
0:45
Knuckles look like he boppin 2 the music😂👍🏾
Did not notice that.
He do be boppin lmao
@@TZMHBT
Thanks lol
That's my boi
"Unknown by me" made me a knuckles fan when I was a kid
Also playing as him in the mega collection(sonic and knuckles ftw)
Soap shoes were not meant to be taken literally.
"The mod isn't 100% accurate."
If it's not 100% accurate, it's 50% accurate.
How so? Air acceleration, ground acceleration and speed have the exact values of Heroes. Traction wasn't able to be modified so that's 3/4 things that were changed and that's without going into every value related to each of the properties I mentioned earlier.
Definitely more than 50% accurate.
@@TZMHBT watch an MandJtv video and you'll understand.
8:35 Okay, me, don't say it... Don't say it... Don't say i- & KNUCKLES! I'm sorry, I had to get that off my chest.
I wanted to say that too lmao-
This is actually so cute I wanna try
I've seen countless videos of Heroes physics in SA1 or SA2 but, what about Adventure physics in Heroes?? 👀
Hmm
It is actually a mod. And well, they are packaged with modified levels to make the game playable.
@@lpfan4491 where can I get this
@@vidamansa1337 "Complete Physics Preset & Stage Fix Combo-Patch" on gamebanana. It still plays nothing like Adventure in reality,(Because Heroes obviously uses the physics diffrently) but it certainly is a lot more easy to control in my book.
@@lpfan4491 Looks promising. Thanks.
heroes with heroes physics when
7:35 So the boulders rubber band physics actually couldn't catch up with Sonic surprisingly?
Weirdly enough. I've seen videos where playing Super Sonic actually makes the rubberbanding worse.
I knew there was a reason I always hated Amy’s gameplay in SA1, and it’s because the idea of being hunted down while being unreasonably slow in a game that’s supposed to be about going fast stresses me tf out.
It would be awesome if Shadow The Hedgehog (2005) was done in Heroes physics, because both games were done by Renderware.
Someone needs to make a physics swap mod for lost world
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!
I wish I have the ability to make a mod for Sonic Adventure 2 where Sonic & Shadow has the movement of Sonic Adventure 1, more smoother movement just like S.A.1.
As well as smoother models for the characters, still looks the same but with much higher poly count.
Sonic is not just fast he is speed it’s self
That sounds like a nightmare
did anyone notice that sonic, tails, knuckles and amy have their classic designs?
I used this mod: gamebanana.com/skins/163101
god i love heroes physics
I do not know if this is cursed, or not.
This notoriously ramshackle game falls apart if you massively change the physics? Sonic Colours me shocked.
You should try it with Sonic Forces physics where the acceleration of Sonic's running speed is exponential, as in:
.05, .11, .24, .45, 1, 2.5, 10, 100.
