this video would be peak if it had the text voiced

lol I understand the anger about Rodin haha, but believe it or not he IS good, he’s a MONSTER when you transform…..it’s just extremely unfortunate he don’t have some sort of speed form, so he winds up just not being very fun to use….still, he’s one of my favorite video game characters of all time

First advance, then chronicles, now battle, cream is the most broken character. This is the real reason she hasn’t been in a game since generations

*ahem* ROUGE AIR ATTACK JUGGLING AND BAITING

Never laughed so hard in my life when you talked about rodin

NAH NAH I'M NOT LETTING YOU DO ROUGE'S AIR TRAP LIKE THAT, that shit is so easy to exploit as emerl as a combo tool with upper attacks, the ai is also stupid enough to always eat one of them when jumping over obstacles in the arenas

Does nobody upload vods for this game? No way of knowing what a competitive game of battle even looks like

It's broken, but I love this game anyway. Actually have a GBA cart, fun stuff!

Cream being an A-Tier fighter is just so funny to me, even just conceptually, I mean she's like a baby aklsdhasjldas

Algorithm fuel⛽

Gamma Gang rise up

Wait, is there some kind of online playerbase for this game now playing through emulators? Tier lists? I had no idea sonic battle had a COMMUNITY

What? There are actual combos in this game? I thought that parrying, auto combos, launches and specials are all that there is. Shit, people think this is HFTF or DBZA kind of shit? Ridiculous. But now I'm intrigued to see how to play Battle as a real 2d fighter.

Heck yeah it is, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Hope SEGA throws it on gba for switch online or just remakes it all pretty like (hd/2d style) or maybe just a sequel/continuation. Would be...the coolest thing.

Damn… some of this stuff is crazy

Aww, you forgot to mention Cream's infinite non-special combo...

I understood nothing, the video seems like an afterthought

Isn’t Ult Aim kinda bad because its damage output for the three axe kicks are cut by 1/3rd? So wouldn’t another one be better?

Banger video man! Im so surprised and hype to know this game that I loved as a kid actually has a competitive scene!

The few times I see this game mentioned it's usually to talk about its unique character Emerl, or how its pseudo-3D effects were pushing the limits of what the GBA could do. This is the first time I've seen someone treat it like a competitive fighting game and find out how crazy it can get.

SONIC BATTLE MENTIONED!!!!

I always wondered just how horribly unbalanced this would be in a competitive sense. I knew it was gonna be bad but not THIS bad

They’re not really pretending it doesn’t exist anymore. Did you forget that Sonic x Shadow Generations and Dark Beginning are bringing back Emerl as a major character?

Also you don't need cheats to make Emerl busted. Shadow's dash is better than Drive mode and certainly his run is a good enough subsidiary for Ult Run. Air Action - you can just use Shadow's teleport or Knux's glide to zoom around Jump - Ult Jump or Shadow's jump. Or use Rouge's if ya wanna be a bastard. Air attack - Tails. That thing is as busted as Cream's, if not more. Combo - Ult1, Ult2, Shadow3, Shadow Heavy. Those are REALLY great, plus Ult3 is Garbage because it can be autoblocked by picking Shot. Thus blocking you out of your combos. Uppercut - Sonic. You will only need uppercuts for setups like Traps and Combo-Power moves. Aim Attack - Shadow. Quick, hits like a truck, looks cool. Fighting pose - either the base one or use Gamma's if ya wanna be a spiteful bastard. Or if you just like green eyes. Dash Attack - Sonic or Ult. Absolutely amazing, especially since they can COMBO INTO YOUR AIR ATTACKS. Guard - Gamma or Chaos, Heal - Cream. Ult for Guard is overkill, not like you can't spam guard. (You totally can) Specials - G Power: Shadow's or any of the Combos, or any "???" A Power: Shadow's "???" or just use Sonic, they are already great G Shot: Sonic A Shot: Ult Shot or Sonic G Trap: Tails or Knuckles, or either of "???" A Trap: Knuckles or "???", although I don't remember one in that category. If you still have points - use them for supports, especially attacl and speed ones. Looks don't matter, so don't waste your points on colors, unless you only have 5 left.

This game, despite the breakage, is absolutely amazing.

"It's a fighting game like Street Fighter or Tekken" No it isn't, it's clearly a lot more like SSBM

2010-ass video 10/10

This is my favorite game and also first Sonic game I finished

Fond memories of this game. My friend and i played this with the link cables and we had a blast. He couldn't beat my Emerld because i farmed the hell out of the arenas to get all his ult abilities, so we stuck to playing the minigames.

I've played through the whole game, and it's pretty good overall. I didn't feel like anything was bad, I played along. The most annoying part was the darn constant robot fights against Gray Emerl. This game is not bad, and you simply have a skill issue. Try it out. Edit: There was also Rouge Meta Knight up-b airs and Amy thinking she can marry Sonic. Forgot to include these parts.

"A fighting game like Street Fighter or Tekken" Ok, that's all i needed to see. rare miss from the algorithm

....."it's a fighting game like Street Fighter" Loool ooook buddy time to head to sleep on that one 🤣

The only good thing this game gave us was the battle sprites they provided us so we could use in animations and flash games.

None of the games you compared Sonic Battle to are even remotely similar to Sonic Battle

Cream is forever OP

This game is where combat animation artists get the sonic sprites from

Grammatical errors make this a 100% times better.

I have a story about Sonic Battle. When I was a kid, I didn't realize Emerald was able to be customized, so I beat the entire game with his horrible base kit, that even includes the final battle with Eggman. It was pain, but I did it.

also,the emerl hidden skills wich are literally insta kill specials EVEN with 0 ichikoro.

Emerl is probably the MVC2 character.

Decent video, but rhe editing and explaining of mechanics needs work

Of course Cream's a Top Tier. Why wouldn't she be?

I think this is the first time I ever thought of this game competitively in my life. That being said. I love this running trend with Cream in the games where lore-wise she's this sweet, innocent pacifist and yet in every game she's playable in, she's one of the most broken characters in the game. Glad to learn that the trend is still alive in this game.

smaller fun fact: the video touches on it but depending on what you select on spawn/respawn you automatically block a category of Special every life, the one you don't choose. This also protects you from the Ichikoro insta-KO... but certain attacks have small hits that can't be blocked in this way, but still have the insta-KO trait, like the physical "Ball" part of Sonic's Shot attacks. (Bonus fun fact, this applies to many of Emerl's terrible default specials if you happen to be playing through the story yourself, it can be a lifesaver in those early battles at the end of Sonic's story)

imagine this game with online battle match.

I had no idea this game was so technical wtf?

2:59 speedrunners be like:

Emerl, one of the few characters in gaming that's both busted in lore and in gameplay

Bro this game was one of the games of my childhood. It was my first ever grinding experience, yet i never really mangaged to get all moves of the Legendary Gizoid version of Emerl. One thing u forgot to mention was the fact that u could continue a combo with a heavy attack after the aim attack. But that's unless your opponent does the tech on the wall. And i didn't care lol Knuckles might have been bad but I enjoyed hitting aim attacks with him on grounded opponents. Made him look strong 💪🏾
