Apologies for my extremely delayed commentary: I was having connection issues throughout most of the tournament for some reason! I was also streaming this tournament to twitch at the time, and everything on my end was glitching out! Didn’t realize any of this until the tournament was over basically. Hope you enjoy the matches regardless and I’ll try to make sure this doesn’t happen in future events - Polymath
MysticNoodle and K.O.S.'s grand final kept me on the edge of my seat a way few games have ever done. I'm so glad this game got revived so people like them can really shine!
They push this game to the absolute limit, and have been the ones to truly optimize all the characters! It was the best grand finals we could’ve asked for! - Polymath
I might not play this game but MysticNoodle’s Bark looks absolutely SHNASTY. That SCHMOVEMENT. I thought he was supposed to be the grappler but I guess this is in fact a sonic game.
I’m new to the game and I just installed it today. I’m liking Amy and I can’t wait to learn the game and hop into some competitive matches with you guys.
That's crazy! I get to see one of the legends in action. Bark ditto is insane and Honey ditto is cra cra. Last, the commentary is exciting. You guys are crazy and just having a good time, and I love it.
This game was my infancy in the Gamecube Gems Collection, even as a kid I knew this game was unexpectedly pretty deep. Wish I could play it on a PS3 and get into online competitive but I don’t have one. Kudos to y’all for building an actual competitive scene for this game!
i’m sure it’s a lot of extra work, but adding the players characters to the timestamps is super helpful when uploading vods and lets them study ranked gameplay of their character easier.
You can just look at the thumbnails for the timestamps and usually see what characters the players pick. It’s understandable to want that, but it would be a pain to label the characters used for every single match to be honest
Even though he’s not in the game and playable. I appreciate that rocket metal sonic is still acknowledged in things like the thumbnail art, one of my favorite designs for metal sonic.
I love Sonic the Fighters! Sonic the Fighters (aka Sonic Championship) is so much better than Sonic Battle because Sonic Battle plays nothling like an arcade-styled fighting game. And speaking of Sonic Battle, that game needs a remake and the remade version of Sonic Battle needs the Sonic the Fighters/Sonic Championship treatment. In other words, Sonic Battle on the GBA back in the days was all gimmick and less skill and Sonic Battle was a combination of Power Stone and Super Smash Bros. in the of world Sonic the Hedgehog.
Automatic mode essentially lets you use complicated inputs with the press of a button, and semi randomly too! It’s just unfair and too chaotic at the end of the day
Poorly coded licensed fighting game for arcade ported to ps3 played over the internet via emulators with netplay and commentated over for a small audience on youtube. Quite a niche. Watched the doc.
never have i ever been interested in a game i never played before. this is like, THE fighting game made for me. the closest that's ever gotten to that was Clayfighter 63⅓ too bad that game sucks, the style was very fun. Looking forward to (hopefully) try and play this game when i get my hands on it!

You're fine! Thanks for posting ❤
No way, it's a actually real
I didn't think there was a competitive scene for this game

Turns out he isn’t as much of a grappler as he probably was intended to be! His movement is one of the best in the game!
@@SonicArenathe glappler is Bean (or more like a mix-up of glappler,rush down and zoner).

Thanks for keeping this game alive!

Paya's Knuckles becoming DBS Hit for a moment (07:15) XD
Watching Metal getting bullied helplessly is somehow satisfying to watch.

your documentary on this game is the reason im here

Sonicfreak1111 did an amazing job on the intro. Hats off to them
Indeed! Very thankful for him stepping in to edit this one :)
Thank you!🙂

that intro was PEAK
I just realized this game’s character select misspells “polar bear” as “poler bear”
And the game misspells robotnik as robotonic in the intro!
MAN this looks so fun!!! I wanna participate even if I just lose all rounds :'D
I just saw a video saying this game died lol glad to see yall lit a flame
It’s very much alive, and even more active than it’s ever been to be frank!
New tourney hype 🎉
This game is still fun SHOUTOUT MY MAIN ESPIO

So which version do you guys use for online play?
Xbox 360 or PS3?
Nowadays the PS3 emulator RPCS3 is mostly used for online matchmaking.
i want to play :D
Where do you guys play these games? Xbox one or how
my guess is parsec
We play on RPCS3! It has built-in netplay called RPCN
Parsec is really bad for fighting games unless you have a dedicated server which costs money to maintain
@@SonicArena oh shoot really i had no clue
What's with the automatic controls? It doesn't just make it being controlled by a CPU?

@@SonicArenathat is why many people use manual
BARK META GO CRAZY!
Woah

I wouldn’t say it was poorly coded: quite the opposite actually! It was very impressive for the time

too bad that game sucks, the style was very fun.
