Why Infinite Fails as a Sonic Villian
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Synopsis:
Sonic Forces is a game that left many hopeful fans of the series drastically disappointed. From the inclusion of the Wisps for the fourth time, relying on Classic Sonic yet again (which panned out terribly), and the overall writing of the meta era...just being the writing of the meta era, Sonic Forces left a sour taste in fans' mouths of what were supposed to be a game to celebrate Sonic existing for over 25 years. But my biggest disappointment did not lie in any of what I just listed, or the gameplay linearity and the overall title's length, but in a character that could have been so much more but fell to the bottom instead. The character known as Infinite.
For having such a badass voice actor helming his character, and an intimidating and saucy design to boot, Infinite just boggles all of his upsides with three times the number of downsides. In this video, I go over as to why Infinite fails not just only as a villain, but also a Sonic character and a figure in a story. Get ready to dive into some edge, because we're taking a deep dive into the character that reeks the most of it.

This channel is criminally underrated. Great job and excited to see where this channel goes.

I found it funny how infinite took shadows threat to heart to never show his face around him ever again then bro literally hides his face for the whole game
I still think Ian Flynn can take Infinite & turn him into an awesome villain. I would suggest doubling down on his insanity to where his entire backstory was fake. Possibly have him take inspiration from Captain Basilisx. The average fan would probably rather have Infinite be recycled into more plots than have Zavok fill that role like he did in Team Sonic Racing.
You mean revealing him to be the Ruby itself and an ancient being locked up in another world?
@@justice8718 Yes. I'd prefer that, that was my original expectation for him.
I'm not sure about others, but I hope that's what others thought.
That sounds amazing
Another possible character fix could be making Infinite just… a manchild. A pathetic excuse poorly disguising himself as a badass with an ego through the moon, who suddenly got more power than he ever deserved (sorta taking inspiration from Tighten from Megamind). Something that could add to this is making him not as much of a Sonic villain, and instead have him as a sort of Shadow villain. Think of it; the duality of two edgelords, except one of them has care, compassion, empathy, and genuine reasons in his backstory for why he acts the way he does; while the other has no self-control, a superiority complex going through the roof, with the only reason for his actions being a grudge about the one time someone bested him.
Or maybe a being created by the phantom ruby that could control reality or open dimension to other worlds. I mean I have a theory that he pulled other villians from other worlds, or in this case, games if Sonic lost, and bring them in Sonic Forces. An early version of Sonic Prime if you will.
what Infinite needs
is a magic touch from Ian Flynn
as he was able to turn Zavok (a character most people don't care about) into a amazing character most people do like, with in just a few issues of the IDW comics
that shows that the problem is not the characters, but the writers
i hope one day infinite shows up again with good writing to back him up
And face reveal
@@Harry_theundefeatablegamerwasn’t his face already shown in the comics?
Shadow Generations could redeem him
Tbh the main reason why I think he failed as a villan is bcuz he's evil cuz he got called weak
Yes Become this Why Infinite Zero It suck l Wish Real Called What if Tails Became Infinite? by Comic Fan 13 he Not Bad My Favorite beat Villain It Infinite Tails Like My Favorite masterpiece Villain Metphiles I think Infinite Tails was overpower strong The Phantom Ruby Better Than Again Infinite Zero XD 👍🏼 : ruclips.net/p/PLSgXQpUJbeCsenyabLyRjQs1Fyp-hQ7XH
personnally i like infinite as a design and his voice and his edge why not but he's a waste of potential unfortunately to me we schould remake him, rewrite his backstory... and make him a very powerful villain who's folowing the steps of mephiles but with les flaws
And infinite theme song infinite is good
Those positive qualities are surface level though. And I don't see it being worth our time to salvage something that’s ONLY good on the surface. Might as well make a whole new antagonist at that point.
Show dont tell. Let infinite beat super sonic
He deserves a second chance, they need to just retcon forces entirely, bring him into another game, make him the main threat, and do it fucking well.
Ok they didn't retcon forces but they can still make him better with a comback
@@DeltaBlazinexactly
I think they could do a rework of his story showing his past where he would be condemned several times by someone (maybe his father) who called him weak and at a certain point he swears to himself that he will not be weaker (this could explain the outbreak of him when he was humiliated by Shadow), and after the end of Forces, he would wake up alone somewhere and without the Phantom Ruby and from then on he would try to survive. At a certain point he meets a group of people who are in the same situation as his, these people try to help him, but he always refuses because he feels weak depending on the help of others, but these people help him with his sense of inferiority, saying that he was not weak because of it, and with time, he starts to let go of his fears and becomes attached to these people. This could be an ending to his story, or it could just be a redemption and he will appear in future games or stories.
Everything I've said here is just a big summary of what I thought for him, but I hoop you can get what I wanted to convey and I think it would help to improve Infinity as a character.
I'd say for the last decade would be more accurate. I do think the storybook games had some pretty good villains, Black Knight especially.
If anything infinite should be shadow villain but he went after sonic for some reason???
Shadow the hedgehog 2 yeah
He really should
And if they ever bring him back hopefully they let him be shadow’s villain
I totally agree with you. Infinite would be a good antagonist for Shadow
Yeah I honestly genuinely prefer Lyric over Infinite, Lyric had something going on with his problems with the ancients, he at least had a good backstory
Both lyric and infinite had potential and could’ve been fan favourites with better writing
@@SariaAK Mhm!
Just a ripoff of 06. Also Lyric's dialogue was bland and sounded "psuedo-intellectual" at times. Trust me I've seen it.
@@SariaAKyeah but Lyric is 10× better than Infinite
It is still so funny that his whole origin story is that Shadow beat him up at the playground
This video should be retitled as why Infinite is such wasted potential.
It's not bad he's just a victim of Sega's crap I mean not just Infinite there's Zavok and Lyric and also Metal Sonic and don't make me remind you what Sega did to mephiles
Sega actually give Mephiles a completed arc to power.
Zavok was always meant to be a parady of Bowser from his _inception_ though. NONE of the Deadly Six had potential because they weren't designed to. They designed to be flat, 2 dimensional villains, lol.
I wouldn't say Lyric is as bad as the others. He is alright for me.
Infinite fits more as a villain for Shadow
For what it’s worth, infinite isn’t the only character voiced by Liam in the franchise. He voiced Zazz in lost world
I have a feeling Infinite is gonna be brought back. Judging by all the memes and demand for Infinite , him even getting a GE plush and Jakks /Tomy figure i still will say he is in demand. Ian Flynn mangaed to turn the Deadly Six into badass physco's like when we saw zeena with cream and gemerl. He can surely turn Infinite into a powerful villian, but he wont be alone... Do you remember Mephilis? Yea the one who MURDERED sonic yea? What if they brought him back- and Tails Doll... Well im sure you know he is apart of creepypastas, has really terrifying abilities and he is official. Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles would have a Metal Tails join their side as eggman thought the doll was useless and slowing them down. But all 3 of those, would be powerful. He made Neo return so all 3 of these in 1 comic.. Jesus they are all doomed. Maybe Hyper would be used? Unless more people get a super form
What if... Infinite faked his death for some reason?
Knowing Infinite's poorly written story, I am going to fix him up.
You know what’s worse…Infinite’s debut game came out the same year that The Loud House had its worst episode in years
Infinite was screwed because once again Sega had to rush the game like they always did with every 3d Sonic game I liked infinite the character had everything going for him his voice was great and a great character design and had a kickass theme he had so much potential to become one of Sonic's best villains yet a long side shadow and mephilus but unfortunately he ended up being a wasted potential I hope he's not dead so that he can comeback once again so that he can get his redemption this time around
When I saw infinite backstory, I was like “god this dude is such f#cking baby loser “
Like when you saw infinite’s backstory, do feel more intimidated by him not like he’s a complete joke of a villain, like even neo cortex not as pathetic as he is .
But fans make him better with rewriting the story.
If it take fans to make it good, this just show how incompetent the actual team in the corporation is to begin with
@@smt64productions40 Yeah witch is just sad, lets hope frontiers story is lots better.
I wish they can turn Infinite into a hero for some reason.
Infinite is the personification of the edginess sonic is stereotyped to have written with 0 self awareness and 0 will to actually push further.
Just such a try hardy character, guys character is the tonal issue that makes shadows game hilarious, trying to look adult but being too scared to drop the f bomb so they don't get into trouble.
Like frontiers really shown how you can bring back edge without it being cringe, the first boss has outright screamo elements in it but it's actually complemented by the damn giant mech battle designed to be a bombastic set piece.
Infinite is meant to be someone who can manipulate reality and does it exactly once with making giant snakes while flipping gravity and we don't even get to see the army knuckles is crying that he lead to die.
That's a point when did knuckles become a commander? He's always been more of a loner character or even in comedic series is arogant enough to think he's leading the group.
I don't think leading the group of friends translates to commanding an army lol, if anything tails would be a better fit since he's the strategist of the group lol
Infinite isn’t a joke, jokes have meanings.
These points makes Infinite sound like a mini-Dr. Eggman.
If sega wants a threatening sonic villain on sonic forces chose mephiles because he is a more better villain than infinite because he is Smarter and more importantly he killed sonic and has no master I know sonic 06 never happened but if mephiles returns sonic shadow and silver will never know him because he is erased but mephiles still know them it's like sonic forces could be a fresh start for sonic shadow and silver to fight against a villain they have defeated before when he was erase from existence
The thing about frontiers is that it's so by the bar it doesn't function. They met the requirements to be called a sonic. And nothing is there because of it
I didn't understand the phantom ruby to manipulate time space but rather to bring illusions into reality, but I fully agree that it was underutilized and that infinite was full of himself
Dark Gaia is those Minions as seen when a woman during night acts creul about kids, I think they were rebellious and that alone really frightened me but it's not until actually seeing Dark Gaia that the literal monster is even more frightening and the Perfect Transformation is grotesque and nightmare fuel, that is peak evil and dark.
Now for Sage, they should base her off of Movie Alessa Gillespie where the little girl you see is Dark Alessa and an actual demon while coming from a tragic burned woman who is well...Alessa, the edgy line DA is the devil or whatever it was actually works better than it sounds.
A bit late comment, but I will still say something about the experience with Sonic Forces that I played during this summer break. I think the concept of Infinite's character was good. The problem, however, was the game itself, which in my opinion had many things that made the game worse, including the addition of Classic Sonic, or even spoiling the plot related to our Jackal. First of all, they should focus a bit more on his past so that his motives, which are very important, would be more substantiated. My suggestion is to make the avatar an old friend of Infinite who knew exactly about his ailments that could also progress to his deep PTSD. I will repeat myself as at the beginning of the comment, the concept of Infinite was good, but it should be fixed, a good example would be to make a game in which he also acts as the main antagonist, or a complete rework of Sonic Forces.
#JusticeForInfinite
Ngl, Mephilew biggest flaw was to be on the most infamous sonic game of the 21st century.
Feels like code from boruto he is meant to be a big villain yet the writting makes him a clown.
Infinite has a blazingly huge ego and an explosively bad inferiority/superiority complex. And in fact, I wish I knew if this was deliberate or not. This guy gets personally offended when he is defeated by the ULTIMATE LIFEFORM. So Shadow called him names? Poor baby, doesn't he know the guy has less friends than his own wiping hand? And I really do not read him as caring that his Squad got wiped - while at the same time wondering, is this just bad writing? Did he care, and we're not seeing it cuz of all that damn dialogue in the way? Cuz I sure don't feel sympathetic for him when he volunteered.
And the complete flip-side is that when SHADOW breaks free of a rather lack-lustre Virtual Reality, something that is meant to be screwing with his mind and playing on his fears, Infinite doesn't seem to care at all. If you can't crush Shadow's crippled psyche, who can you crush? If he can't fight tough, Infinite could try and fight smart. Mephiles didn't have much muscle until the end, so he used his brains to manipulate others into position. Infinite just falls in line with Eggman. What would be cool, would be EMPHASISING what a lapdog Infinite really is, despite all the power he has been given. Perhaps if Eggman told us that he chose Infinite as his subject BECAUSE he wants to be powerful but has no ambition for what to do with it. But the game still seems to want us to be impressed by him in some way.
At the same time, Infinite DOESN'T use his powers properly. He's not a scientist and I doubt he even knows how the Ruby works. Shadow says that whatever the Phantom Ruby makes is as powerful as the real thing... but Infinite doesn't, for example, set Chaos Four on Tails. And so I reckon that the Phantom Ruby can ONLY create things to be as powerful as the real thing. Super Shadow had all seven Chaos Emeralds, and the Phantom Ruby can't turn out that kind of power. My point being that even if it could simulate somebody more powerful than Shadow, it can't simulate a less powerful version of Super Shadow either. Infinite doesn't explore his powers, or try to stretch them. All of the enemies he creates copies for once worked for Eggman and all turned on him when they became too powerful, and so it's easy to believe he even took his cues from there.
Ironically, this is exactly how an 'ultimate mercenary' would behave. They wouldn't be imaginative and they wouldn't try to do anything special, or alter their contract, they'd just do exactly what they were told, attack the people they were ordered to attack, with the weapons they were told to use. Infinite IS pathetic.
Eggman, Metal Sonic, Chaos, Gerald, Black Doom, Mephiles, The Great Battle Kukku, The Nocturne Tribe, and maybe even Void and the Deadly Six are all more interesting to overthink.
He might still beat Witchcart and Lyric for that?
OH ALSO... the movies should try to get Mark Hamill for Black Doom.
Don't forget the villains from the storybook games and Eggman N-word.
At least Lyric had a somewhat interesting backstory, Infinite's is dumb as hell.
@@robmacher3253 To be fair the Storybook villains are awesome!
@@Twilord_ I agree, especially when it comes to Merlina (in case you couldn't tell by my pfp).
I hope he's in Shadow Generations, just so they have a chance to redeem his character
Your video was not only informative and well thought out but entertaining too. I loved all the jokes you made.
Infinite has potential as a villain but not in Forces. Because like you said, he’s pretty much a nothing-burger edgelord character, seemingly copying Shadow’s personality without doing anything that made Shadow an interesting character.
Infinite has so much potential based on his original theme song, but it was wasted by the writers of Forces. Give the new writers a chance with him, and they could turn him into a GREAT villain. But yeah, he's a basic bland anime villain who considers everyone beneath him for now.
keep up the good work G
i thought this channel would have a lot more subscribers when i first saw it
Nah he needs to get some of his facts right.
Another bit of potential Sega wasted: Some of Infinite's concept designs had him use his tail as a third arm/hand.
At first, I absolutely hated Infinite. His backstory was wonky, he was over-the-top edgy in design and personality, and he didn't do anything. Basically everything you said in the video. But over time he... grew on me, to be honest. I can see the gold buried deeply, and I mean DEEPLY, beneath the in general horrible writing of Forces. Infinite was not an egotist before the events of Forces, he was a leader but also a pushover. Eggman slapped him and he decided "hehehe I will join you.. you seem cool..." He doesn't even monologue to Shadow and then gets clapped.
Now normally I imagine this would just be another thing for him to just let roll off his back, you win some you lose some. However, it's said that Shadow *annihilated* his crew. Which implies that Shadow straight up killed them. Infinite's entire squad was gone and it was all Shadow's fault. Soon after he comes face to face with Shadow and prepares to enact vengeance upon him for the death of his crew. Maybe even people he considered friends. And then he just... loses outright. He gets clapped called worthless, and isn't even worth being killed. He failed not only himself, but his squad as well. That'd do insane psychic damage to *anyone*. So by the time of Forces, he's thrown away his past, thrown away his identity, and thrown away his memories in an attempt to hide from his failure. Despite the ruby's power, he probably knows deep down that he IS weak. So he monologues and becomes an egotist as a front to hide that from both himself and everyone around him. His mind is probably a mess as he's sorting through anger, sadness, and insecurity all the while trying to figure out how to use the Phantom Ruby effectively. He has no choice but to follow Eggman because he can't think straight and has no direction.
Now. Was any of this thought about in-depth like that or intentional? Pffft fuck no. The writers for Forces probably had their thumbs up their asses the entire time and just wrote whatever. I mean look at Tails lol. The Infinite we got in Forces is dogshit and probably wasn't thought about past "lol he edgy". My point here is that while his first outing wasn't great, the potential IS there and I think Infinite should be given a second chance, not just the actor. If Flynn could... sort of justify Tails' actions in Forces, he can probably fix Infinite.
Also Infinite in the Olympic Games wearing a swimsuit would be hilarious
Shadow the Ultimate Lifeform should've killed "Infinite" when he had a chance.
Honestly don't understand why he didn't, lol. The guy was a legit waste of oxygen who would only ever be a nuisance while working with Eggman. I mean, he killed the rest of the Jackal Squad, so why not "Infinite"?
I agree that we haven’t got a great villain since Sonic 06.
I honestly think the storybook games did a fairly good job with their villains. Erazor Djin being one of few villains who managed to actively anger Sonic, came one of the closest to actually killing him due to the curse he placed on him and his status as an implied domestic abuser made taking him down quite sattisfying. And there is Merlina, who stands out among the series' villains for being a well intentioned extremist, seeing her kingdom was doomed and trying to use the power of Excalibur's scabbard to keep it from ending. The scene before the final battle with her is also one of my favorite cutscenes in the series, both establishing her threat level and showing off how Sonic refuses to give up no matter how hard someone is beating him.

@@robmacher3253 you have a good point.
Infinite the Jackal is not coming back anymore, because Sonic and his friends killed him for some reason.
Infinite: the villain so bad sonic team literally just made him disappear
They the ones who made him being bad 😂
Congrats on 1k subs!
Infinite is my favorite character after Tails.
Infinite could've been the strongest, he has the best design, the best song but the writting sucks it's not his fault
I want that they bring him back, change a bit of his character and Boom.
He is a messenary, who fight with his sword. He has a mask because Shadow defeated him once (scar on left eye + blinded) and killed his team (was stupid enouth to attack him even when Shadow gave hime a chance to walk away and paid the prise for that). He is wearing his mask because he is ashemed of himself and hatred of himless for losing his hole squad and also family.
He is hired by Egman as a mesenary and fight against Sonic (without ruby and just with sword or got the ruby as powerup).
Also wants to kill Shadow even if he could die by using the ruby.
Or something simular and so you have great character.
Dude i watched you yesterday and you had 629 subs and now you have 1.24 subs ! Congrats !!
Excuse me! He's one of my childhood villains!
They hyped him up to be this ultimate, all powerful badass villain but it still tuned out disappointing.
Integwaw?hewow!?stowies?!??
Also,yeah i do agree Wirth you
Lemme be real, I LOVED infinite’s design and voice but the way he got wasted on such an underwhelming story makes me so upset
There, I said it, I have a soft spot for a bad villain, fight me sonic fans.
congrats on 999 subs
Great video Elmer fudd
Here are some ways to fix Infinite:
1. Make him pull a COVID on the entire Sonic universe where every time he dies he can always come back and generate more powerful variants of himself to the point that the entire world (including Sonic’s friends) is hopeless to stop him.
2. Give Infinite new powers like the ability to infect almost everyone with his newly created virus that is potentially more powerful than COVID.
3. Lastly, make Infinite win by killing not just Sonic, but also everyone else including Eggman, using creative powers and abilities that stem from writing that is more on par with the 2000s Sonic games and comics than the Meta Era.
I’m
You know Covid isn’t the most deadly virus
Know Infinite's edge, if written better he definitely would had done that and made himself sick af.
As much as I love Infinite's design, character idea, or the analyzes written about him that explain him, I just don't like the Sonic Forces game itself. I am able to say that Infinite is not a weak character or badly written, and the game itself belongs to the trash.
I feel like a good appearance for his next game he goes insane
Okay but counter point, I still like him
infinite is my favorite sonic villain
I thought his voice sounded familiar. 🤔
9:42 good art
For future Sonic the Hedgehog series: I want Shadow the Ultimate Lifeform to get a "New Female Character (swordfighter)" as a new rival. Similar to:
1.) Karai (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
2.) Ravager/Rose Wilson (from Teen Titans, DC Universe)
3.) Blade (from Azure Striker Gunvolt, Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX)
4.) Mara Jade Skywalker (from Star Wars; Expanded Universe)
5.) And more
*Hint:* Just to try something different for Shadow the Ultimate Lifeform. And to keep away from Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends for some reason.
Infinite has everything needed to be a good villain, save for backstory.
I mean, Shadow calls him a little bitch and he acts like a teenage girl having a bad day over it? Hate to break it to him, but he really is just weak.
Remember at the end of his final battle he goes to get milk and never returns.
I want infinite brought back simply to see his potential realized
Question: What will Infinite look like when he return? Because I'm very confused.
Probably return as a hero
Probably back to being bored with the world's continued existence, assuming he didn't go back to apparently dead after losing the Metal Virus.
Mephiles is SO MUCH better. Infinite is just awful.
No, he just had better writting.
The only good thing I can think about with Infinite is his boss music.
very low bar though, since even the worst sonic games have good OST's
I love his like...confidence
i think that infinite was bad executed. like his music the design,he could torture sonic mentally, put shadow as protagonist in the first half and bring sonic later .
We can all agree that 06 is better than Forces
that infinite fapping joke was rancid 💀certified awesome sauce
Infinite is not weak 😊
You got a good channel here dude but I think ultimately Infinite got screwed over. I love him as a villain and think he is a badass but got screwed over by sega. He needs another game/chance
10:50 in story DUDE IN STORY THE REASON WHY SINIC AND THE AVATER ESCAPE IS BECUASE OF THIER COMBINED DUOBLE BOOST YOU DUBIT
He doesn't have what it takes to be Infinite
The end
I subbed :)
Personally Infinite is my favorite villain
Why Infinite fails as a Sonic villain?
Simple: *Because Sage Exists*
Sage has literally _nothing_ in common with Infinite beyond their color scheme though. Just comparing them feels like an insult to Sage, lol.
@@DLxxx
No Sage is a better version of infinite. She has the exact same powers as him, a better motive, a better voice and a better character.
Also she isn’t cringe
Comparing Infinite to Sage it's like comparing the minions of Despicable me to Kratos
@@cloudshines812 She doesn't have the same powers as him. Name ONE that actually share (aside from shooting an energy beam the odd time).
Her having a better personality and motive doesn't make her a good comparison to Infinite. She's a superior character, sure, but she still has nothing in common with this clown.
@@cloudshines812she ain't better than infinite she just had good writting unlike him. She doesn't have the same powers either 😂.
She is good, infinite is evil.
13:11 okey i don't You know this SO i'm going to break your THOUGHTS for You 1: infinite is not Even his name is zero 15:10 thats not how Zero:s backstory goes HIS back story is that shadow killed let me repeat KILLED jackle squad destoryd zero which left him emosionly hurt which it than cuase him to change idenity and insert the final versión of the phantom Ruby that eggman devold
I really like infinite he's my 2 favourite metal sonic is my favourite
He's probably gonna be in frontiers or at least get leaked
i think calling Infinite the "second worst sonic villain" is COMPLETELY UNFAIR.. most of your grievances is not the fault of the character but how the game's story was Told.
His motivation is NOT based on shadow Kicking his ass ALONE. shadow also Killed his entire squad. shadow kicking his ass and calling him weak is merely the cherry ontop.. because the Ultimate lifeform made a JOKE out of Infinate's Failed attempt to avenge his squad ((fun fact there is a evidences through sound files that the Jackal squad was SUPPOSED to be a BOSS fight for shadow... but it was SCRAPPED))
Infinate has PTSD from that experience and wants to make tho world Know what shadow made him feel that day... thats why he left the Avatar alive after killing the forces around them, and why he trys to tell sonic that reliance of "friendship" is Pointless.. because those are emotions he endured...
i honestly think the INTENDED story was Not that Bad. BUT it ended up being bad because of HOW the story was told... a rushed mess that refused to focus on Key elements of the story...
the Tails scene and the inclustion of classic sonic is still frikken terrible
Luckily the comics expand on infinites character.
It only makes him a little less bad of a character.
The voice actor was to Good vor the Charakter
17:50 (laughs×2) ho no O6 YOU PLAYED O6 (laughs) ho dude to burst your bubble turely exists if he heard about this he is going to like it sl enjoy the last days you have becuase one day youl have to anwser to infinite and he won't hasate to use the power of the phantom Ruby on you! (Laughs×3)
Let's be honest if only the game's boss battles, mostly Infinit's weren't the same thing almost everytime and maybe harder it would have been way more fun. It was so easy to beat him on hard mode, the normal levels had more danger of anyone falling off than losing to him. I do know that the game was made to be easy, I mean an average level time of 3 mins, but still such a cool design to what I would say one of the easiest and most worthless boss ever
Sonic Forces is so bad that I legitimately forgot that I actually did play some of it to the point that I apparently didn't rank it on my Backloggd until just now as I thought about it while watching this video lmao.
Like at least when I think back on Shadow the Hedgehog, sure it was flaming garbage, but it was funny, it had some interesting gameplay design and it just had a shit ton of replayability. And hell, I'd say it kept more true to Shadows character than Boom and Forces did even WITH all of the various endings.
Anyhow the best part about Infinite is his theme song. Everything else is garbage.
Infinite is not weak. Zero the Jackal Squad leader (the Ultimate Mercenary) is weak.
I think you were a bit insulting to Lyric from sonic boom in my opinion yes he's not the best but his backstory and character is way better than Infinite
I feel like all the cyber space stuff in frontiers with the ancients and The End are Ian making an attempt to justify Infinite. The end literally says "I am Infinite" in the final bullet hell. Plus the reddish pinkish effect of cyber space is identical to the effects of the Phantom ruby. I feel like Ian used Frontiers to set up a Future retcon in the next game that will justify Infinite and tie it all together from mania/Forces to Frontiers 2 (whatever shape that may take)
It's not Infinite Infinite, it's just how they are eternal.
That's not what they were trying to do, lol. Infinite is cannonically, explicitly, stated to be dead. Same with the Phantom Ruby, which would've existed at the same time as The End.
@@DLxxxApparently someone at SEGA changed their mind about that.
I like infinite
Pretty accurate infinte was horrible
Man even forces tails was better.
On lore it was good but maina handled the phantom ruby far better
Sonic Colors Generations and Mania were only Good Mainline Games in the 2010s
You forgot Sonic lost world: the game had flaws but remained good enough.
@@carlosbleu7396 I guess
At least, the levels were longer than in Sonic forces, more varied and the villains were created to be obstacles and not deep characters (they are still bad but aren't as wasted as Infinite).
Infinite is a worse Mephiles
Blame the shitty writting
