Great list, man! I usually always forget about Black Knight if it isn't music or cutscenes being talked about, since I've never played the game, but this definitely made me appreciate the opening cinematic more. Sonic's attitude was really on point, and it was kind of a shame Griffith was replaced just as he hit his prime (Unleashed, Black Knight.) And you already know how much I love Unleashed. Fantastic game with plenty of great story moments.
I agree with you. I love Sonic as a game, but specially as a character. His attitude is fantasting, specially in Unleashed, Secret Rings and Black Knight. As you say, that is wat Sonic is ment to be. I hate what they have done with him, his personality has banished, specially when he starts talking. For example, the intro for Colors is really good, but the moment he open his mouth in game it breakes my heart... (And not to mention Boom Sonic...) I really, really hope that the next game will bring back Sonic, the real one. By the way, for my also Jasson Grifith is the best Sonic's voice actor.
Jason Griffith was Sonic's best VA, with Ryan Drummond being a close 2nd. Roger Craig Smith is easily the worst VA for Sonic. 2010 was when everything changed for the worst in the Sonic Series. The 2010s have been the worst decade of Sonic's career. It all started with FreeRiders, the crappy Xbox360Kinect Exclusive that prevented us from ever getting another Sonic Riders game. Then Sonic 4 happened, then Colors which pretty much solidified the crap Modern Era for Sonic. Lost Worlds & Boom make 06 not look that bad in comparison. Why the Modern Era that started in 2010 was so bad? The "Just Sonic" approach combined with RC Smith was disastrous, although that was made all the worse by the fact the 2 lead writers never should have been hired to begin with. Pontac & Graff came with the current Voicecast & knew absolutely nothing about the Sonic Series. The most they know about the series is from the 1993 Sonic Cartoons & they have been butchering the Sonic Series & flanderizing the characters throughout the entire decade. The last great story of the series was Black Knight released in 2009. I want the real Sonic back just as much as you do.
8:36 "There's a Sonic '06 moment on this list..." I couldn't have been the only one hoping that it was the moment Shadow roundhouse kicks Silver in the back of the head. I love both characters, but that moment is just beautiful. XD ... HA! Honorable mention! XD
06 story was pretty awesome, and I really loved how Shadow's relantionships developed---his rivalry with Sonic becoming a small friendship and a deeper friendship with Rouge and Omega.
Ah, sonic unleashed... painfully underrated. I know indeed that it is no masterpiece, but it sure shouldn't be held next to a game like Secret Rings... ugh I hate that game. I gotta say that the most enjoyable story moment in a sonic game for me has to be Dark Gaia taking away sonic's werehog ability. We see sonic fall to the ground in complete exhaustion, and chip is begging for him to stand up. Then sonic simply utters the words "Chip... run, Chip..." before Chip decides to go colossal. I love that line because it shows sonic feeling... hopeless for the first time (in a decent way, unlike 06). Sonic has always been the "steriotypical bad ass wisecracking hero who never has a bad day" guy, and this cutscene showed us that he does feel helpless at times... he at times feels like there is nothing he can do to save the day, so he does the only thing a great hero would do... tells his friend to get out of harm's way. Sonic shows a multidimensional character here who is more scared than confident, and it made me care for the Jason Griffith Sonic much more than any other sonic.
And if you look closely on that scene, you'll actually notice that Sonic's ears are drooping while they're usually upright. Really shows how weak he's feeling in that moment
Oh my gosh! When I first saw that scene I was blown away and was like, "Sonic, no!" He's my hero! And that scene with him like that man it just got to me! I can't blame you at all for saying that! It's so awesome! EEP! :)
@@andreasmeelie1889 facts i believe sonic should show more emotion he should show more depth, show he isnt invincible and he can be vunerable show that sonic actually has fear and that he can feel helpless i like jason because he's more dramatic besides archie, we see sonic with emotion and he doesnt seem like a shallow jackass
For me, the best scene will always be the moment with sonic and Chip at the bridge of adabat, where sonic offers to help his friend who is in trouble. It just shows Sonic as this kind hearted hero who you can trust. I just love it.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR INCLUDING S&BK. Nobody appreciates what the game did in its story. I love the game play but it still has a lot of bugs. But the story is PERFECT!!! Thank you for including it.
Y'know what? At first, I was thinking "S&BK?! WHAT?!" But then, after listening to what you had to say about the cutscene, I realized: Yeah, this really WAS the only time they nailed Sonic's character. Especially that one line you pointed out. Even though he has every right to be angry about suddenly being transported to this other world while he was (most likely) eating chili dogs on his couch and watching tv or somethi g (that's the way I like to imagine it, I guess it stems from Secret Rings), he's willing to drop everything (besides the chili dogs, of course) and help out this woman who's clearly in extreme danger. It really shows Sonic's selflessness, while still keeping that snarky, 90's attitude he's famous for.
Not surprised to see Black Knight at the top but the moment I thought it was going to be was Excalibur Sonic and the build up to it. The moment It Doesn't Matter starts up after taking the beating from Merlina was just amazing.
Finally got around to watching this! Great list as usual man, pretty diverse choices. Here's hoping that future games will bring Sonic back to his character for more great moments.
Wow, nice! I definitely wasn't expecting number 1, but it was a great choice to remind us of Sonic and the Black Knight. Honestly, it's one of my favorite spin-off games because of how well the story was written and the style of the animation. I might make a video in response to this, but maybe after my next countdown, which should be coming up in a month or two (yes, it's a Sonic countdown, lol). Now, as for countdown ideas, I personally think you should do your favorite Sonic Vocal Songs or your favorite Sonic bosses. I'm always up for those kinds of countdowns. Can't wait to see what more you have in store for the future, Bryan! ;)
Now while my heart weeps for Colors, I do have to say that I'm pretty much in agreement for everything on this list. Especially the Top 5. Oh, that Top 5.
You know I was surprised when the Unleashed opening only got second place, but then when I saw the number one spot I thought "Actually, yeah. I agree. I love that moment as well." Great list! Helps proving why Sonic is such an awesome character :)
loved when Shadow open his rings to release his powers. and loved him more when I knew he is Lancelot in the S&BK. Shadow wielding a sword in a reverse style grip? epic win.
My favourite cutscene in Sonic 06: Team Dark in Wave Ocean. Rouge saying she'll always be by Shadow's side was just beautiful. To think these two have gone from uneasy allies to best friends since their first meeting melts my heart.
I know its been long, but I want to reply something. Mighty, Ray, and Heavy and Bomb needs to appear alongside Knuckles, Vector, Espio, and Charmy in a 3D-mystery game, in which there are crimes in the city or village where they live. They will have to investigate, and protect the Master Emerald since the criminals want to take it. They will find out that the criminals are not Eggman or Metal Sonic, but instead the Team Hooligan (Nack/Fang, Bean, and Bark). Sonic, Tails, and Amy should have some cameos in the game.
I agree with your pick for Shadow, that's what I've always loved about him as a character, and related to him because of that. His attitude of not giving up on himself regardless if the world hates him, if he's an outcast. Team Dark was my favorite thing about Sonic 06 and how Shadow, Rouge and Omega really are his friends, that they care about Shadow. Well as much as a robot can care...
I REALLY like that Sonic Unleashed opening cutscene! But to be fair, Black Knight was also a game that shows Sonic's character (Along with Sonic Unleashed). Plus, I have to admit, putting SU opening cutscene at number 1 is pretty much unfair.
Super belated comment because I just started getting into Sonic lore, but I absolutely LOVE this list. I physically cheered at #s 4 (Shadow's excellent at accepting his hand and playing what he's dealt), 3 (can't get enough of the Sonic & Shadow dynamic), and yes, 1 - fully agree about Sonic's portrayal in Black Knight. Sonic is the perfect balance of noble and goofy there. I would love for his official characterization to return to this core. For now, seeing Black Knight lore land the #1 spot is a happy surprise! Thanks for this well-executed vid; now I can look up more cutscenes. :)
I'm so glad you put the moment Knuckles was betrayed in Sonic 3 on this list. I remember when I first played that game as a kid back when it first came out that scene completely blew me away.
Great video and I'm so glad with #1. Sonic and the Black Knight is one of my favorite Sonic games and I never understood why so many fans don't like it.
I completely agree with you in almost any way. There are no words to describe how thankful I am that there is a sonic fan such as yourself and to perfectly describe how great it is to be one. I personally agree with you about sonic and the black knight and unleashed. They are the best when it comes to story and one can say sonic and the black knight is very underrated. My favorite moment from that game would be the cutscenes you get before you face off against Merlina. The cutscene shows you sonics way of life and how he views himself as a hero. The line " it was never about chivalry for me. I just gotta do, what I gotta do. That's all!!", perfectly describes it and the way Jason griffith read the line made it even better. It goes to show that sonic isn't just an average video game character like the rest of them.
shadow the hedgehog and sonic 06 were my favourite games of the series! I actually like gameplay in both... mostly. Shadow the hedgehog was a bit hard to control. and that cutscene in 06 is my absolute favourite to watch! It came with my new ps3 and I was 9 at the time and I don't know why, but I just loved it straight from the get-go and remains as one my all time favourites! I do agree with you on fact that in 06 shadow was at his best! he had the dark, badass but yet, still very relatable vibe to him that he was meant to have. and whilst David humphry did make him seem quite relatable and 'human', I just don't feel like it's the voice of an emotionaly plagued, black anthropomorphic hedgehog. and griffith kind of did it with shadow the hedgehog, but he came across to helpless and gullible, which I get which was what Sega was going for and admire the atmosphere feel the game had. but in 06, yes! that is shadow! and look, it might be because 06 brings me back happy memories of first playing it when my life felt perfect, but I managed to have I good time with 06 so I'd like to know that if you can't, why? why wasn't it fun? I know about the glitches and the only real ones I got, idid on purpose and I love them! they really help! like at the end of dusty desert with silver(by clipping through the door with a crate). so tell me, what's actually bad about it?...
I haven't played ShTH, but otherwise I completely agree! the only two parts I didn't like about 06 were the SonicxElise "romance" and the End Of The World. End Of The World because it was simply too slow and absurdly difficult.
Hey Nerdword, I agree with the cutscene in Sonic Adventure 2 but I feel as if Sonic's confrontation with Eggman in the Ark when he had Amy captured was going to make the best SA2 cutscene.. I was surprised that it wasn't included in the honorable mentions either.. All in all man, I love the vids :D
Im so happy to see my Fav Sonic Scene/Quote of all time The final Shadow scene in Sonic06 *"If the world chooses to become my Enemy I will fight like I always have"*
13:03- 13:57 even in 2019, these graphics are awesome. Everyone says the wii had outdated graphics for its time, but it could still present these beautiful graphics.
you know what, I think Sonic Lost Worlds cutsenes are stunning with how they actually let the characters have more personality than just smiling to keep there E rating.
I'm three years late but I have to say, Sonic 06 didn't rewritten him into an agent, Shadow defeated his father and used his Chaos Control as Super Shadow to send the Black Comet into space so the Ark's weapon can destroy it, he says "To put the past behind me! Chaos Control!" before doing so and everyone including G.U.N. watched the fight and that's when they trust him again.
Awesome video as always here a idea how about top 10 least favorite sonic characters we all have characters that we love and there are times that we have that we just hate with a burning passion I would love to see a countdown out of this keep up the great work :)
Great list. I was blind sided by your number one choice, but you are right, Sonic is summed up in that one moment. "no problem, I'm used to stuff like this."
Great list man! Personally, I have no idea where I'd rank my favorite moments. I know one thing, the overwhelming majority of them are in my five favorite Sonic games of all time, those being SA, SA2, Sonic '06,' Secret Rings, and Black Knight. The reason so many of my favorite moments are in my 5 favorite Sonic games is because story is a huge factor of why I like all 5 of those games. The other moments I like would probably include the Sonic Unleashed cutscene (before it turns werehog that is), the end scene of Shadow the Hedgehog where he saves the planet, and several scenes from Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
I love this video also sonic colors is one of my favorite Sonic games probably because it was one of the first sonic games I got. I like most of the sonic games except 06 and the boom series but other than that I love The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. (even though I have not played most of them I just watched them)I will always love The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise no matter what.
Sonic's speech to Merlina in Black Knight it my number 1 fave moment as that's a philosophy I still live by to this day thanks to Sonic. Crush 40's song "Live Life" makes the scene even more beautiful that the song has become my number 1 fave Crush 40 song
You forgot that awesome scene at the end of Sonic Lost Rings where Sonic defeats Erazer Djinn... "No! I cannot be denied by that filthy rat, Whyyyyy!" "I told you already, I'm not a rat... I'm a Hedgehog!" * mic drop *
I agree to your opinions 100% of them are as same as what I'm thinking about. Also, this comment will be the 400th comment in your video :) Keep it up!!!
my favorite moments are always when sonic is a caring guy doing his best to cheer up someone whether they are someone he just met or an old friend It's always nice to see him give life advice or just say something ridiculous to make you feel better my favorite part of Sonic's character even as a kid this is his sweet caring gentle side most people think Sonic is just a silly show off e quick-witted guy but he has a very caring side to him he is soft and caring to others and it's always cute to see him take the time out of his day to help somebody feel better as a kid this side of them made me really wish Sonic could be my friend I wanted him to be my best friend because of this personality! XD okay I'm going to shut up now
This is list is actually surprisingly accurate to me. I can relate to Sonic being well written in the Black Knight -- it's the reason it's one of my favorite games. (Plus the hinted Sonamy with him and Nimue, but I don't want to get killed.) I agreed with almost everything stated in this video. Of course, my opinion doesn't account for a lot, but whatever. xD
My favs would be: -The Kick from 06 -The Punch from Sonic 3 (wow, I like seeing characters get hurt) -"I found you, faker" from SA2 -Anything from SatBK -The scene before Perfect Chaos fight from SA(DX)
"There is a sonic 06 scene in this video" I know this video was published 5 years ago but MAN You shouldn't be sorry for this. Sonic 06 has a great story
I can't agree more with EVERYTHING U said for ur #1!! OMG, I kust CAN'T AGREE WITH U MORE!! From the beginning to end, and I couldn't stop smiling in this vid and I'm grateful for dat, which is the reason I love u Nerdword Entertainment and y subscribe to u! Keep doing wut u do best!
For me the story book series of the Sonic games have been my favorite portrayals of Sonic. I think he is at his best in those cause well Jason is voicing him. For me Jason is Sonic cause he plays everything for Sonic, his cockiness, his kindness, his silliness, and his coolness. Jason feels like Sonic's growing up voice actor and the story book series show this I think with how he should act in a game and not how he represented now. It's a reason I'm not a big fan of Roger cause he isn't all of Sonic like Jason or even Ryan was. I hope we can get a Sonic like the Jason Sonic again soon. I learned so much from Jason's Sonic.
Nice endless possibilities instrumental music with opening of sonic unleashed( I didn't want to say number 2 because that would just be wrong). Nice scene for your 1st, but sonic and the black knight is a great game dude!
My Favorite Sonic Wii game is the Black Knight cause the day I got it in school we was reading about the knights of the round table and once I got home I sat in computer chair and played until dinner
I highly Agree in how well '06 handled Shadow but I gotta say, I think one of the reasons I like it so much is because of Shadow the Hedgehog (I know it's an unpopular opinion but I DO really like that game). that is the one game where he is looking for answers on who he is and what he should do with his life (and the conclusion to his "amnesia character arc that started on Sonic Heroes, then got furthered in Sonic Battle), and in the (True) end, he finds then answers he was looking for. That is why he won't fall for Mephiles's crap. He has been through that phase and overcame it. Deciding to live up to his promise to Maria and protect the world as a G.U.N. agent (maybe even keeping an eye on them to make sure something like the Raid on the ARK won't happen again).
I really enjoyed your list! My favorite is the Opening for Sonic CD and the ending for the hero\dark story and the final fight before the last story Live on Sonic!
Have you read the Archies comics of Sonic the Hedgehog? It goes into more of how kind Sonic is snd even has nice scenes of him playing with tails, his lil bro. Of course it doesn't really follow the games but the series and characters are great. SA2 will always be one of my favorite games, still play it on my xbox 360
That is a great list. I agree with almost everything... except I think at least one scene from Shadow the Hedgehog should make it. It had a pretty decent story compared to Lost World. Speaking of which, while I like the gameplay of the Smith Sonic games (aside from BOOM and Lost World).. I really miss the whole story and lore Sonic had. As well as all the colorful characters. And I miss the previous Sonic. It's like you're in my head when it comes to why Sonic is so great.
your list was 85% similar to my list only because I can't really decide between 2 of them and the shadow vs silver thing in your honorable mentions was one of them
"Every scene in sonic unleashed" I agree
The Truth
Every scene, Musics, and Day Stages. But, not the Night stages in PS2, which I keep falling off the platform
I really enjoyed playing Sonic Unleashed on my Sony PlayStation 3 (fat model)
Yes
Fax
Great list, man! I usually always forget about Black Knight if it isn't music or cutscenes being talked about, since I've never played the game, but this definitely made me appreciate the opening cinematic more. Sonic's attitude was really on point, and it was kind of a shame Griffith was replaced just as he hit his prime (Unleashed, Black Knight.) And you already know how much I love Unleashed. Fantastic game with plenty of great story moments.
piplupfan77 hey pip wanna check out my channel don't forget to subscribe

What up
I agree with you. I love Sonic as a game, but specially as a character. His attitude is fantasting, specially in Unleashed, Secret Rings and Black Knight. As you say, that is wat Sonic is ment to be.
I hate what they have done with him, his personality has banished, specially when he starts talking. For example, the intro for Colors is really good, but the moment he open his mouth in game it breakes my heart... (And not to mention Boom Sonic...)
I really, really hope that the next game will bring back Sonic, the real one.
By the way, for my also Jasson Grifith is the best Sonic's voice actor.
Jason Griffith was Sonic's best VA, with Ryan Drummond being a close 2nd. Roger Craig Smith is easily the worst VA for Sonic. 2010 was when everything changed for the worst in the Sonic Series. The 2010s have been the worst decade of Sonic's career. It all started with FreeRiders, the crappy Xbox360Kinect Exclusive that prevented us from ever getting another Sonic Riders game. Then Sonic 4 happened, then Colors which pretty much solidified the crap Modern Era for Sonic. Lost Worlds & Boom make 06 not look that bad in comparison.
Why the Modern Era that started in 2010 was so bad? The "Just Sonic" approach combined with RC Smith was disastrous, although that was made all the worse by the fact the 2 lead writers never should have been hired to begin with. Pontac & Graff came with the current Voicecast & knew absolutely nothing about the Sonic Series. The most they know about the series is from the 1993 Sonic Cartoons & they have been butchering the Sonic Series & flanderizing the characters throughout the entire decade. The last great story of the series was Black Knight released in 2009. I want the real Sonic back just as much as you do.

i think jason should've stayed he's probably the best voice actor we've gotten, either that or jaleel white cuz steve urkel made sonic really bad ass
@@andreasmeelie1889 facts i believe sonic should show more emotion he should show more depth, show he isnt invincible and he can be vunerable show that sonic actually has fear and that he can feel helpless i like jason because he's more dramatic besides archie, we see sonic with emotion and he doesnt seem like a shallow jackass
Slickback exactly! I will love Sonic no matter what but I miss the Jason Sonic so much!😢
For me, the best scene will always be the moment with sonic and Chip at the bridge of adabat, where sonic offers to help his friend who is in trouble. It just shows Sonic as this kind hearted hero who you can trust. I just love it.
That almost made me tear up, I wasn't expecting that. I was going through a very hard time when I saw it, and it really stuck with me.
I think SatBK really hits Sonic's personality. Not to mention it delves deeply into why he's a hero, why he fights Eggman or any other villain.
My favorite sonic scene is when sonic confronts the dark queen merlina just before the final boss, one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen
I'd say afterwards when he tells her about how everything has to end. That's actually my favourite quote of all time.
+The Impossible Dingo That's probably a second favourite
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR INCLUDING S&BK. Nobody appreciates what the game did in its story. I love the game play but it still has a lot of bugs. But the story is PERFECT!!! Thank you for including it.

I think I like "Look, it's a giant talking egg!" the best.
Great list man! Really love black knight for those reasons, really underrated game
You know I was surprised when the Unleashed opening only got second place, but then when I saw the number one spot I thought "Actually, yeah. I agree. I love that moment as well."
Great list! Helps proving why Sonic is such an awesome character :)
This video was outstanding! It was amazingly scripted, and the quality of the cutscenes is great! Bravo!
loved when Shadow open his rings to release his powers. and loved him more when I knew he is Lancelot in the S&BK. Shadow wielding a sword in a reverse style grip? epic win.
I was really hoping for a scene from Sonic Colors,
You know like " No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me ! "
My favourite cutscene in Sonic 06: Team Dark in Wave Ocean. Rouge saying she'll always be by Shadow's side was just beautiful. To think these two have gone from uneasy allies to best friends since their first meeting melts my heart.
I'll admit, scene number 10 made me laugh, too.
Seriously, we need a modern Chaotix game. Like, right now.
I know its been long, but I want to reply something. Mighty, Ray, and Heavy and Bomb needs to appear alongside Knuckles, Vector, Espio, and Charmy in a 3D-mystery game, in which there are crimes in the city or village where they live. They will have to investigate, and protect the Master Emerald since the criminals want to take it. They will find out that the criminals are not Eggman or Metal Sonic, but instead the Team Hooligan (Nack/Fang, Bean, and Bark). Sonic, Tails, and Amy should have some cameos in the game.

sentrogaspers9813 Yeah and because I'm a Sonic enthusiast.
Why do i see you everewhere???? O.o
But you're right, though i really miss that moment and even started to cry saw that cutscene
Nice! I never seen a who enthusiastically love Sonic (sorry for my bad english) XD
sentrogaspers9813 Well, that's me and my childhood gaming series.
ThaPepsiAddict Like I said, I'm omnipotent!
Super belated comment because I just started getting into Sonic lore, but I absolutely LOVE this list.

Great video and I'm so glad with #1. Sonic and the Black Knight is one of my favorite Sonic games and I never understood why so many fans don't like it.
This video reminded me how much I loved Sonic. All I can say is thank you for that.
finally a sonic rush game in a top 10 sonic title.
I completely agree with you in almost any way. There are no words to describe how thankful I am that there is a sonic fan such as yourself and to perfectly describe how great it is to be one. I personally agree with you about sonic and the black knight and unleashed. They are the best when it comes to story and one can say sonic and the black knight is very underrated.

I do agree with you on fact that in 06 shadow was at his best! he had the dark, badass but yet, still very relatable vibe to him that he was meant to have. and whilst David humphry did make him seem quite relatable and 'human', I just don't feel like it's the voice of an emotionaly plagued, black anthropomorphic hedgehog. and griffith kind of did it with shadow the hedgehog, but he came across to helpless and gullible, which I get which was what Sega was going for and admire the atmosphere feel the game had. but in 06, yes! that is shadow! and look, it might be because 06 brings me back happy memories of first playing it when my life felt perfect, but I managed to have I good time with 06 so I'd like to know that if you can't, why? why wasn't it fun? I know about the glitches and the only real ones I got, idid on purpose and I love them! they really help! like at the end of dusty desert with silver(by clipping through the door with a crate). so tell me, what's actually bad about it?...
I haven't played ShTH, but otherwise I completely agree! the only two parts I didn't like about 06 were the SonicxElise "romance" and the End Of The World. End Of The World because it was simply too slow and absurdly difficult.
Great video. Such high quality. Black Knight is without a doubt the most underrated Sonic game.
I love the part in Sonic 06 when Amy nearly hits Silver off the building!!!
Hey Nerdword, I agree with the cutscene in Sonic Adventure 2 but I feel as if Sonic's confrontation with Eggman in the Ark when he had Amy captured was going to make the best SA2 cutscene.. I was surprised that it wasn't included in the honorable mentions either.. All in all man, I love the vids :D
Im so happy to see my Fav Sonic Scene/Quote of all time
The final Shadow scene in Sonic06
*"If the world chooses to become my Enemy I will fight like I always have"*
Glad I'm not the only one who enjoy shadow story final cutscenes from 06
13:03- 13:57 even in 2019, these graphics are awesome. Everyone says the wii had outdated graphics for its time, but it could still present these beautiful graphics.
"He's [Sonic] a cocky little sneaker who doesn't play by the rules but deep down, he's a really nice guy."
my fav description ever of Sonic.
I really enjoyed it thanks!!!
I'm so glad you included black Knight!! That's my second favorite Sonic game!
so whats your first?
No Sonic and the Secret Rings ending? that was so badass
+The Multigamer No, the hankies ruined Sonic's moment.
yea... that makes me cringe every time
Next, Top 10 worst sonic moments
I think i'd know which would be number 1
Oh, I see.
Annie Walls id like to see this list
SuperGodzilla2 So would I
It's no use!
Nerdword Entertainment "Every moment of Super Sonic ever!" Sorry, but he appeared in the worst Sonic moment ever...
you know what, I think Sonic Lost Worlds cutsenes are stunning with how they actually let the characters have more personality than just smiling to keep there E rating.
I'm three years late but I have to say, Sonic 06 didn't rewritten him into an agent, Shadow defeated his father and used his Chaos Control as Super Shadow to send the Black Comet into space so the Ark's weapon can destroy it, he says "To put the past behind me! Chaos Control!" before doing so and everyone including G.U.N. watched the fight and that's when they trust him again.
Awesome video as always here a idea how about top 10 least favorite sonic characters we all have characters that we love and there are times that we have that we just hate with a burning passion I would love to see a countdown out of this keep up the great work :)
Great list. I was blind sided by your number one choice, but you are right, Sonic is summed up in that one moment. "no problem, I'm used to stuff like this."
Shadow's FIRST cutscene in 06 too, need I say more?
When number one came I was speech less...I LOVE THE BLACK KNIGHT X3
I expected "The Kick" for the Sonic 06 entry.
Screw that Kick
Great list man! Personally, I have no idea where I'd rank my favorite moments. I know one thing, the overwhelming majority of them are in my five favorite Sonic games of all time, those being SA, SA2, Sonic '06,' Secret Rings, and Black Knight. The reason so many of my favorite moments are in my 5 favorite Sonic games is because story is a huge factor of why I like all 5 of those games. The other moments I like would probably include the Sonic Unleashed cutscene (before it turns werehog that is), the end scene of Shadow the Hedgehog where he saves the planet, and several scenes from Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
I love this video also sonic colors is one of my favorite Sonic games probably because it was one of the first sonic games I got. I like most of the sonic games except 06 and the boom series but other than that I love The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. (even though I have not played most of them I just watched them)I will always love The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise no matter what.
Sonic's speech to Merlina in Black Knight it my number 1 fave moment as that's a philosophy I still live by to this day thanks to Sonic. Crush 40's song "Live Life" makes the scene even more beautiful that the song has become my number 1 fave Crush 40 song
i love the ending to sonic and the secret rings
You forgot that awesome scene at the end of Sonic Lost Rings where Sonic defeats Erazer Djinn...
"No! I cannot be denied by that filthy rat, Whyyyyy!"
"I told you already, I'm not a rat... I'm a Hedgehog!" * mic drop *
You could say there were TOO MANY SONIC cutscenes :D.
Second good vid. Sonic vs shadow build up was a excellent choice.
I agree to your opinions 100% of them are as same as what I'm thinking about. Also, this comment will be the 400th comment in your video :)
Keep it up!!!
I only started watching your videos but they are great! ⭐⭐⭐
21:21 YOU'VE GOT THIS SONIC
Nostalgia.
My list includes, but is not limited to, Sonic encouraging Avatar in Forces.
my favorite moments are always when sonic is a caring guy doing his best to cheer up someone whether they are someone he just met or an old friend It's always nice to see him give life advice or just say something ridiculous to make you feel better my favorite part of Sonic's character even as a kid this is his sweet caring gentle side most people think Sonic is just a silly show off e quick-witted guy but he has a very caring side to him he is soft and caring to others and it's always cute to see him take the time out of his day to help somebody feel better as a kid this side of them made me really wish Sonic could be my friend I wanted him to be my best friend because of this personality! XD okay I'm going to shut up now
This is list is actually surprisingly accurate to me. I can relate to Sonic being well written in the Black Knight -- it's the reason it's one of my favorite games. (Plus the hinted Sonamy with him and Nimue, but I don't want to get killed.) I agreed with almost everything stated in this video. Of course, my opinion doesn't account for a lot, but whatever. xD
My favs would be:
-The Kick from 06
-The Punch from Sonic 3 (wow, I like seeing characters get hurt)
-"I found you, faker" from SA2
-Anything from SatBK
-The scene before Perfect Chaos fight from SA(DX)
"There is a sonic 06 scene in this video"
I know this video was published 5 years ago but MAN
You shouldn't be sorry for this. Sonic 06 has a great story
looool No it certainly doesn't. But I'm glad you can enjoy it.
@@BranFlaixx Shadow's and Silver's story is pretty good tho?
In my opinion the Sonic unleashed opening is the best scene In Sonic games.
I can't agree more with EVERYTHING U said for ur #1!! OMG, I kust CAN'T AGREE WITH U MORE!! From the beginning to end, and I couldn't stop smiling in this vid and I'm grateful for dat, which is the reason I love u Nerdword Entertainment and y subscribe to u! Keep doing wut u do best!
I am a sonic fan
4:49 I have played knuckles chaotix, but it wasn't my first exposure to the chaotix.
I liked the last cutscene for sonic and the secret rings, that was pretty cool.
Shadow's so great. :} I have to agree with his final scene in 06.
Sonic 06 was the first game in the Sonic series I ever played. AND I LOVED IT. I was like seven so...
how did you not include the cutscene from SA2 when eggman "explodes" sonic in space
Number 2 just...YES!
For me the story book series of the Sonic games have been my favorite portrayals of Sonic. I think he is at his best in those cause well Jason is voicing him. For me Jason is Sonic cause he plays everything for Sonic, his cockiness, his kindness, his silliness, and his coolness. Jason feels like Sonic's growing up voice actor and the story book series show this I think with how he should act in a game and not how he represented now. It's a reason I'm not a big fan of Roger cause he isn't all of Sonic like Jason or even Ryan was. I hope we can get a Sonic like the Jason Sonic again soon. I learned so much from Jason's Sonic.
Nice endless possibilities instrumental music with opening of sonic unleashed( I didn't want to say number 2 because that would just be wrong). Nice scene for your 1st, but sonic and the black knight is a great game dude!
Nice video man, keep it up :)
Aw. Very nice video man.!
9:00 my favorite scene
My Favorite Sonic Wii game is the Black Knight cause the day I got it in school we was reading about the knights of the round table and once I got home I sat in computer chair and played until dinner
I'm not surprised Sonic Boom wasn't on the list
I have hopes that the TV show and fire and ice will probably have epic moments like these as well. The prequel games on the other hand, not so much
I highly Agree in how well '06 handled Shadow but I gotta say, I think one of the reasons I like it so much is because of Shadow the Hedgehog (I know it's an unpopular opinion but I DO really like that game). that is the one game where he is looking for answers on who he is and what he should do with his life (and the conclusion to his "amnesia character arc that started on Sonic Heroes, then got furthered in Sonic Battle), and in the (True) end, he finds then answers he was looking for. That is why he won't fall for Mephiles's crap. He has been through that phase and overcame it. Deciding to live up to his promise to Maria and protect the world as a G.U.N. agent (maybe even keeping an eye on them to make sure something like the Raid on the ARK won't happen again).
I really agree with your list, and everything else too.
I really enjoyed your list! My favorite is the Opening for Sonic CD and the ending for the hero\dark story and the final fight before the last story
Live on Sonic!
"No, I mean, I'm sorry you have nothing better to do in life!"DAYUM SONIC! YOU ARE AAAAWWWEEESOME!!!!!!1!!1!!1!!!111 xP
Love the aquarium park music
Pretty good list overall. I'm surprised that CD's animated intro didn't make the list, but I still thought this list was pretty good.
Have you read the Archies comics of Sonic the Hedgehog? It goes into more of how kind Sonic is snd even has nice scenes of him playing with tails, his lil bro. Of course it doesn't really follow the games but the series and characters are great. SA2 will always be one of my favorite games, still play it on my xbox 360
Sonic Colors had fantastic cutscenes.
2:40
me when I saw the scene for the first time: OoF!
Me seeing it now: oof!
they should've called sonic lost world, Sonic's Lost Roast Sessions
Now that he pointed out the #1 on his list, I'd say I have to agree
That is a great list. I agree with almost everything... except I think at least one scene from Shadow the Hedgehog should make it. It had a pretty decent story compared to Lost World.
Speaking of which, while I like the gameplay of the Smith Sonic games (aside from BOOM and Lost World).. I really miss the whole story and lore Sonic had. As well as all the colorful characters. And I miss the previous Sonic.
It's like you're in my head when it comes to why Sonic is so great.
your list was 85% similar to my list only because I can't really decide between 2 of them and the shadow vs silver thing in your honorable mentions was one of them
Sonics best moments are his scenes with Elise. Love the romance between the two. Their kiss was amazing
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who likes the humor in Sonic Colors and Generations. I also love sonic in these games.
I would like to tell you that I do not hate you for putting sonic 06 in this
infact I subscribed for it
People coming back here for nostalgia rise up
'The Kick' is gonna be here. I know it.
~End of video~
DAFUQ?!?!
