I approve of Knuckles being overpowered. He is characteristic of the series is being the powerful one and he is the only one, to constantly wear punching gloves. And he has a killer theme song about beating up others.
His usual weakness is that he's just not quite as fast as Sonic-tier characters. In an arena fighter where people faster than him *can't* just hit-and-run him to death? Of course he dominates.
This is SEGA's chance to make Sonic the Fighters HD and add characters like Eggman, Shadow, Metal Sonic, and everyone's favorite character: Avatar from Sonic Forces
Customizable Avatar-Self from Sonic Forces in a fighting game for Sonic? Now THAT sounds like Sonic's call to Soul Calibur almost (or Street Fighter 6), oh and don't forget about Silver, Blaze, Sticks, or Mephales (w/e his name was who was Silver's *actual* nemesis and ruined his name), maybe Biolizard or Black Doom as Bosses?
I've played the game a decent amount casually over the years, and I was always invested in Fang over any other character. A major part of that is because for a lot of characters at a low level, the differences between punches and kicks feel very arbitrary. I never felt like I needed to use kick attacks, they felt redundant. However, with Fang, there is a clear difference between punch attacks and kick attacks, especially considering that his projectile punch attacks cannot break barriers, thus forcing one to rely on kicks early on. It felt like Fang had a complete moveset I needed to learn and engage with while everyone else had like half of a moveset in comparison. Naturally, at higher levels of play this isn't true at all, but for a new player up against other new players or the ai playing as Fang early on helped get me accustomed to actually using all three buttons and learning what circumstances promoted different attacks.
Fang has a lot of unique kicks too. He's got a really neat kit actually. The main thing with kicks is they will have higher priority in some spots like vs spin dashes, and they also are actually usually faster to come out than punches.
I never had any idea how complex this game was! Honestly, "Sonic the Fighters" could've been Sonic's "Mario Kart" if they didn't abandon it. Sonic Battle, I guess, is technically in that series but it's been almost 20 years since that game came out...
Fighting game noob, Iron Tagger/ Potemkin main, and being my favorite sonic character along with being the only sonic game he is playable I have no regrets picking Bark even when I whiff a grab or move at the speed molasses. I consider it penalty training for grapplers in other games. Also Biff Baff animation is just too good.
I never realized sonic the fighters was an actual competitive fighting game. I thought it was a mostly forgotten arcade game that was rereleased twice and was shown for a millisecond in Wreck It Ralph.
This is so insanely entertaining Bean is not a Woodpecker 💀 EDIT: This might be misleading so; I know he is but in my mind he will remain a duck... or dynamite because it's funny.
I remember buying Sonic the Fighters on Xbox Arcade along with Sonic Adventure and having a bunch of fun with friends at parties who didn't even know about the game. It's awesome to see the renaissance of this wacky game with the fgc.
Asking about overviews in the discord and being met with this a few hours later was the funniest shit to ever happen. these videos are great btw keep it up!!
I remembered playing as Tails the first time I played this game, I kept grabbing and slamming the other fighters with his flying move in the story mode, and it was fun. I wanna play this game again.
This is actually pretty in depth! Still not sure who I wanna play since the guy I wanted to play is banned haha. I’ll still probably check this game out one day
This game's metagame is more detailed than people think, because it based on virtua fighter and fighting vipers from Sega AM2, their 3d fighters have always historically had immensely deep movesets
broke: playing sonic the fighters via emulation woke: Booting up Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased his name, walking (slowly) to the former club sega, beat up some thugs while practicing Tiger Drops, starting a substory, walking inside the arcade, pay 100 yen, boot up sonic the fighters
When I play STF story mode as Sonic I always find chances to perform ↓↓P but I always fail and does a regular punch instead. Wait is that You're Izayoi
0:54 "Much like in Smash. Sonic is a character who handles many of his problems in StF the same way." By being a camping bitch? "By turning into a ball." Oh right. 🫠
I didn't even guess all my life that a Sonic fighting game would not just have Sonic be more average in regards to speed, but also have him be a contender for the top tiers. Unrelated note: I love that Dynamite Plant looks like a fusion of Chemical Plant, Oil Ocean, and Metropolis, among other neat environmental touches.
0:55 I was expecting you to say he solved his problems by "running away like a little bitch when he gets a life lead". Glad I was wrong, that's not very shoto of you, Sonic
Interesting video always wanted to try this game but never have. Closet I have gotten is playing fighting vipers and spamming been a bunch he is allot of fun to play but feels cheap as hell at least in that game
The studio behind Virtua Fighter perfected the games over the years. They can do the same with Sonic. A new game with new fighters and a deep story can work.
2:30 funny enough this makes sense. Virtua fighter 2 is probably the only poorly balanced game in the series. It’s also produced by Yu Suzuki & developed by AM2. & the best character in the game Lau also is the first opponent despite exploiting tons of techniques that make him better than the guy designed to be the best character in the game.
pick tails. everyone will be mad, but YOU will be happy.
I love being happy!
I do love making people mad.
Vouch
Pick tails. Everyone will be happy.

I love how this game is far more deep than people see it as
Agreed. Everyone always see this game as a button mashing game.
from the slander this game got, and the rise it recieved.
It's like the game is becoming a messiah
Well it based on virtua fighter and fighting vipers from Sega AM2, their 3d fighters have always historically had immensely deep movesets

Yeah i think if any sonic character was gonna be super strong in a fighting game, it was gonna be knuckles

Pick Bean, he may not be the best, but he annoys the opponent the most
I like Bean, but I have a tendency towards detrimentally honest characters, so I believe I'll pass

I've been too traumatized for that sentence not to sound weird to me
it only applies if Sonic is the main character of the game he's in, otherwise it doesn't apply
I don't know what weird internet thing traumatized you, but I would like to rescind that statement. Sonic is, in fact, cheap as hell.

Yep, Smashy Bros Sonic and STF Sonic are 2 completely different characters.
What about super sonic?

also the hard boiled crew omg the possibilities!
They already did that but without Avatar. It is called "Sonic Battle" or "Sonic Adventure 2 Battle".
@@GregoryKelly-x1msonic battle is nothing like Sonic The Fighters and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is just a port of SA2
I was the only Espio player in the CEO 2024 bracket. It was a pretty big knowledge check for some people. Lol
i like the every of the characters. i will ditto everyone and there is no way to stop me.
ahhh... the ditto fights, the best fights

I actually think from all this great STF content I’ve been watching has made me want to see this game on a bigger stage more and more
I like how you used Kuma's Tekken 3 theme when discussing Bark. How fitting lol
And Ibuki for Espio.
honey..who is this..the cutest character ever..

I love Bark sm bro And I will still forever choose Bark, this game is so good 😭🙏
but wait..isnt there eggma-
nobody picks eggman.
what about metal-
NOBODY PICKS METAL SONIC
Metal Sonic is such a cool design. I would play him if he wasn’t banned
This is so insanely entertaining
Bean is not a Woodpecker 💀
EDIT: This might be misleading so; I know he is but in my mind he will remain a duck... or dynamite because it's funny.
He is, as his name states, a dynamite. Should've read the label smh.
Bean actually is called a woodpecker in canon material, despite being implied to be the son of a dynamite duck
@@ViashinoWizard I know but I refuse to leave the past thought of him being a duck especially when he hella looks the part xD
Reminder: the Xbox 360 store is shutting down soon. If you want sonic the fighters on 360 you’ll need to get it now.
Yes thank you we need more Xbox players 🙏
The game has BC support on Xbox One/Series X|S, so it should be still possible to buy it after I believe.
@@shreeder4092All that means is you can play it on later consoles if you own it. The actual store is shutting down.

This game needs a sequel.
Dual main Tails/Fang here, whether or not I wanna frustrate or bore my opponent is dependent on my mood.
The comment on top on 0:11 is mine lol, glad my feedback was heard!
Thanks buddy now i can play the game without getting my ass kicked by Espio every time!
for 28 years i had no clue thank you I know who to main now.
Why is it always my favorite characters who end up being low tier
oh so i would actually enjoy honey! maybe i should pick up stf
17:08 Hey, what is the music that plays during the Espio Review? i heard it somewhere before but i can't remember the name
Asking about overviews in the discord and being met with this a few hours later was the funniest shit to ever happen. these videos are great btw keep it up!!
Sonic and Knuckles are the best, hm? They made it canon…
I remembered playing as Tails the first time I played this game, I kept grabbing and slamming the other fighters with his flying move in the story mode, and it was fun.
I wanna play this game again.
Bark my beloved
Amy is my main, hands down
My favorite STF character to play as is Knuckles.
This is actually pretty in depth! Still not sure who I wanna play since the guy I wanted to play is banned haha. I’ll still probably check this game out one day
STF is definitely Sonic x Tekken

nah. people call it a 50/50 basically. she has to read the way you roll to get up with her timing.
Honey is just Knuckles after she took estrogen :3

Amy main always and forever. No matter the game!
Please tell me how you were able to freecam in this game. Id love to be able to know how
its a mod, its in the stf discord if you want it
2:45 IS THAT DYNAMITE HEADDY MUSIC
0:48 did........
did Sonic just did an electric wind god fist?
0:54 "Much like in Smash. Sonic is a character who handles many of his problems in StF the same way."
By being a camping bitch?
"By turning into a ball."
Oh right. 🫠
he definitely camps a lot too!
honey :)
Glad all the niche fighting communities are turning up now. First, Smash Bros Brawl, now Sonic The Fighters
This videos title and thumbnail going through character arcs lmao
hey, really good music selection!
Cool!! 10:15
I main Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Espio, and Amy/Honey (Metal Sonic is too op to be a choice)
I haven't played the game yet
They need to make a new sonic the fighters since the only other mainstream 3d fighting game is tekken right now
Even if Espio was pure garbage tier nothing would stop me playing MY BOYYYYY
[literally 2 weeks later after this was uploaded] "After over two decades, Sonic the Fighters has just received it's first ever balance patch..."
meanwhile i only main fang because he's my favorite character
Keep up the great STF coverage! Made me give it another shot :)
I just keep hammering people with Amy or punching downwards with Bark 😅
I didn't even guess all my life that a Sonic fighting game would not just have Sonic be more average in regards to speed, but also have him be a contender for the top tiers.
Unrelated note: I love that Dynamite Plant looks like a fusion of Chemical Plant, Oil Ocean, and Metropolis, among other neat environmental touches.
Commenting to boost engagement, you should too.
"Much like in Smash"
Me with 6 years of competitive experience: _oh dear god no_
"Sonic turns into a ball"
_Oh_ 💀
I would pick bark as they are a new fave
Sorry tails and knuckles but i gotta give an underrated character love that they deserve
0:55 I was expecting you to say he solved his problems by "running away like a little bitch when he gets a life lead". Glad I was wrong, that's not very shoto of you, Sonic
Eggman shouldn't be banned.
7:42 Yoooooo is that Mickey's Speedway USA music I hear? I used to love that game
I love this game because of one word squishy. I swear these guys are like a gelatin ball bouncing left and right. 1:44
I knew I wasnt going crazy about Tails
I guess the reasons why Eggman and Metal Sonic aren’t in this video is that they’re too strong and would probably being banned in tournaments?
Interesting video always wanted to try this game but never have.
Closet I have gotten is playing fighting vipers and spamming been a bunch he is allot of fun to play but feels cheap as hell at least in that game
Aw shit, yet more STF content baby lets gooooo🔥🔥🔥
Mickey's Speedway USA soundtrack spotted
I love espio 💜
Shouldve includede metal and egg just for longevity
The studio behind Virtua Fighter perfected the games over the years. They can do the same with Sonic. A new game with new fighters and a deep story can work.
This game looks so beautiful and expressive
Wish we get a remake of it
We need an updated version, since Robotnics and Metal are in the game now!
I picked Espio
Havent played this game since i was 10 on Ps2. Happy to see it still alive
I had no idea this game has an actual real fighting game scene until now, that’s so cool
Why do ppl sleep on this game so much its an amazing sonic game
this mf didn't talk about Eggman.
I have a 30 minute video about eggman
eggman is too op, we don’t talk about him.
Don’t know what this game is but I am interested to I sub
bout to watch, but isn't Sonic technically the best?
Your commitment to this game is lovely
It would be great if we got another Sonic fighting game
What about robotnik and metal sonic?
I played this pong ago on the os5 bit now I'm playing on ps2
How the hell do you download this game Lmao
2:34 AMY WTF- DONT FLIP HIM OFF
Picking Eggman :)
“What if Knuckles was a cute catgirl?”
I am always saying this
I know it's unlikely, but I still hold out hope for a sequel or a new sonic fighting game
I didn't even realize people were playing. I thought RGG just brought it back as crosspromotion for Sanic.
This is a bit off topic but I keep forgetting that bean is a woodpecker and not a duck
hes kinda both and kinda neither
I remembered emulating this game ages ago. Main I loved maining Fang, Bean, Bark and Honey. If only Sega brought them back.
