I just played sanic farces cause its free for psplus this month and I quoted this line to a friend due to how funny it was when I heard it. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought this was hilarious.
damn! a lot of the skips seemed a lot cooler than what the game makes you go through. like something Sonic would do, just zoom right over buildings across massive gaps right on to rails.
When you look past their flaws, even games like Sonic Forces, Sonic 06, and Sonic Boom look good while doing a speedrun... I mean they were already short and/or glitchy as hell... It's perfect for speedrunning in a sense...
Yeah, I've never played sonic forces myself but this run makes it look pretty fun (I've heard from enough sources to be sure that it really isn't great lol).
Forces ain't the best, but it also isn't the worst. I don't rank it down on that same level as Sonic Boom RoL or Sonic 06, but I'd say it's more in the range where games like Sonic Heroes, Lost World, and Unleashed (I know people really like Unleashed and Heroes, but those games are in the middle for me tbh. To me, at least Forces doesn't take forever to simply get to the end due to filler content. Not saying Forces is worth that price they're asking for either.)
This applies to both episodes of Sonic 4 as well. Their mechanics, physics and some of the priorities behind the level design aren't the best, but the level design isn't bad at all and the air dash alongside the different routes allow for a lot of cool speedruns imo
Man it's been a long time since I've seen a sonic game where the speed run strats, design, physics, and tools let you do stuff as cool as the Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 speed runs. I didn't realize how much I was craving something like this.
I love how sarcastic everyone is, and I really appreciate that even Speedrunners can have a laugh at the game they run. People get so defensive when you make fun of their favorite games sometimes... (Not saying it's the Speedrunners' favorite, just in general)
I was honestly surprised to see this become part of the event. This was good fun, truly impressive to see some incredible skips pulled off given the suffocating nature of the levels. Also, was it just me, or did I witness slowdown by the game as it was trying to maintain all of the, uh, high-speed action? Is Sonic Forces really a well-oiled machine...? Hehehehehehe, sorry, great run. Thank you, AGDQ.
25:09 "This stage sucks" As the Switch #1 ranked on this stage, I have to say that it's fun when sped through. Seriously I think it's cool I'm not kidding don't @ me
I... actually wanted this game, thinking I'd be almost always playing as a goofy little OC. Particularly a fox. Which you can't have in this game. Boo.
'Normal' - For those who haven't played a Sonic game before 'Hard' - For those who have I don't think that's how Normal/Hard are supposed to work... not Easy/Normal.
so why do people hate on Sonic games always starting with a Green Hill Zone, but not Kirby game for always having a Green Greens? or Mario games with beginning in the Mushroom Kingdom?
How to speedrun Sonic Forces: 1. Hold boost button. 2. Nothing. That's literally it. Alternative method next: Play the game casually. An average playthrough of Sonic Forces is about 3 hours. It may not be a great speedrun but it's basically a speedrun.
I feel like every Sonic game from this decade all use Green Hill and Chemical Plant, like c'mon you have so many great locations from the classic games that you could revisit, why do they keep using those two over and over?
I've changed my opinion on this game thanks to watching speedruns of it and giving it a replay. This is probably right up there with Generations for me, now that I've learned to stop worrying and love the drill. (To be clear, writing has never been part of my assessment of a Sonic game. At least as of now, the writing is an excuse to get you to go fast in the next stage.)

BigJon is the host.
I like how they applauded him just for having the will to start the game.
Can't blame them.
This game is like a junk food game for me. It’s objectively bad but I just can’t stop playing it
They do that with every game
Its allright
None of this is good, Vector. That's why it's called war.
Lord Sivler scrolled down to the comments right when I heard that

What is it good for? Absolutely nothing
"I've found a way to the computer room!"
[Vector in the background, eyes glazed over, foaming at the mouth]
MeowserTheGamingKoopa *_FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM_*
Okay so the drill is more powerful than the Chaos Emeralds, this game is basically Sonic Gurren Lagann
Who the hell do you think you are? Isn't your drill the one that will pierce the right side of the screen, the goal, and through to the next stage?
It even has Kamina's glasses for OC.
Sonic: Don't believe in yourself, partner. Believe in me who believes in you!
Believe in the Sonic that Believes in Tails
This anime was mediocre.
shout outs to that man who shouted out "Snake?! SNAAAAKE!!" during snake skip and the guy shouting out "REWARD"
Time please
@@stormbreak7003 15:33 for snake skip
steam users trying their best to complete the game under 2 hours to refund it afterwards
None of this is good Vector. That's why it's called Sonic Forces.
13:45 this skip was almost intensely suspenseful with the quiet and the visuals. Like astronauts in the dead zone on reentry
I'm an optimist but I'm also a realist.
ok
ok
ok
ok
Oh k
damn! a lot of the skips seemed a lot cooler than what the game makes you go through. like something Sonic would do, just zoom right over buildings across massive gaps right on to rails.
you should check out the wr for sonic unleashed day stages
Sonic forces you to watch this speedrun
I came to watch the 2nd best sonic game get speedran by my free will
@@thelookingcat I'm worried what you consider the first best
@@succubasuits literally their opinion. Yall act like they did something terrible 💀
13:55
That looked so sick. Accidentally cooler than anything they could have actually put in the game
Sonic Forces is a dressup game that they strapped a couple platforming levels onto for marketing purposes.
It's like Smash Bros. Ultimate, the music player with an added fighting minigame
@@Jfrost9101 basically
@@Jfrost9101 except smash is good
The audience was really interactive through this. They would constantly make jokes with the hosts and are always really supportive the whole time
I unironically love "Fist Bump."
Arsenal Pyramid has more gameplay with the skip than without it
A clue the game was designed poorly. Levels that are more playable when the players use out of bounds skips to avoid cutscenes than without.
unrelated but i love the sleepy dog in your pfp
the whole game has more gameplay with these skips than without them
With the fact that Forces speedruns rely on the Rental Avatar system, I wonder if anyone has seen their avatar get plucked for part of a run.
I make sure to equip the avatar I'm using with a drill when I'm not playing to try to get mine used
This run was the sharpest of blades.
Also the tallest of mountains
And a dangerous weapon.
And the roughest of waves
And the harshest of weathers
He can cut you down with a second
Considering the fact that this game takes about 3 hours to complete casually, it's only fitting that people would start speedrunning it.
These speedruns actually make this game look fun
When you look past their flaws, even games like Sonic Forces, Sonic 06, and Sonic Boom look good while doing a speedrun...

@@RyderPlatinumWarpstar Forces is way worse than Unleashed or Heroes, at least those games have cool levels and you get to actually play a real game

@@revenevan11 it looks good because it’s so automated
13:52 that skip looks cool AF
13:53 actually just looks like they’re warping space or something. Major style points.
13:55 was pretty cool for how quiet it got
somebody call weegee, they beat his record for refund%
Man it's been a long time since I've seen a sonic game where the speed run strats, design, physics, and tools let you do stuff as cool as the Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 speed runs. I didn't realize how much I was craving something like this.
This man made the Null Space level look like a cinematic
I remember watching my brother play this game and dying in this game a lot when I was younger.
I love the guy in the crowd
Poor TheBlueMania, Sonic Forces him to do this speedrun...
This is truly one of the Sonic games of all time.
I'm so sorry for the "DOUBLE BOOST" donation xD
You should be. You forgot to insist they sing the chorus of Fist Bump!
This guy got the record for modern sonic on green hill zone!
I love how sarcastic everyone is, and I really appreciate that even Speedrunners can have a laugh at the game they run. People get so defensive when you make fun of their favorite games sometimes...
(Not saying it's the Speedrunners' favorite, just in general)
Nah it's just the fanbase of sonic in general
@@agipson101 Most Sonic fans dislike Forces and rightfully so.
damn people can get upset when you constantly bash a game they love with opinions that you try to treat as objective facts? thats crazy
This speedrun shows that Sonic Forces levels are atcually open world
GAMER
I love how this isnt much shorter than an actual normal playthrough of this game
Awesome run 👍
Agree
"I underestimated the feeble cling to life."
When played well, this game actually looks fun.
52:00 my first favorite is TAS block, but they get all the [$$$] love already. 😁
I was honestly surprised to see this become part of the event. This was good fun, truly impressive to see some incredible skips pulled off given the suffocating nature of the levels.

Hehehehehehe, sorry, great run. Thank you, AGDQ.
The shortest Sonic game ever finished.
Sonic Fans: We want a good 3D Sonic game
SEGA: *Brings back Green Hill and Classic Sonic*
Sonic Fans: Fine, we'll make our own good 3D Sonic game and we'll call it Sonic Utopia
Sonic Fans: *Brings back Green Hill and Classic Sonic*
Don't you mean "Sand Hill"?
Also SEGA: puts long ass 2D sections in Modern Sonic levels
Lol I was third place at Luminous forest at the switch servers of Sonic forces for a couple of months and he beat my record during an any%
If I have one thing to compliment sonic forces about, its the rewards, look cool
great run
44:20 for some perfectly timed movement with the music whether intentional or not
Next up: Sonic Forces you to 100 %
Love the couch and runner. Kinda silly but great! Also the audience was great too with jokes :D
This sppedrun was just as long as regularly playing the game😂
But in all seriousness loved the run
10:51 Looking at this now, it’s hard to believe they are so few death planes in this stage.
Just got new PBs on Stages 1 and 5 thanks to this! I love watching the live runs due to being able to learn new tricks. ;T
I like that the guy on the couch has a Tails doll.
I like that the guy on the couch has a Sonic doll.
Agreed, they're kinda cute
“Okay this is Sonic Forces.”
“Wanna just start?”
“Yea.”
They know they just wanna be through with it lmaoooooo
So now sonic just owns the whole world, right?
_"He's that character from that Sonic game that no one liked."_
So... *Sonic?*
24:46 “finally, I can wear my swimsuit”
Colors did have the yellow vanishing platforms but unleashed did it first in eggmanland.
Might as well speedrun Ride to Hell Retribution at AGDQ next year
7:53 From the Sonic game that nobody likes...
Wow! I didn’t know that Zavok originated from Sonic 1 GBA!
25:09 "This stage sucks"
As the Switch #1 ranked on this stage, I have to say that it's fun when sped through.
Seriously I think it's cool I'm not kidding don't @ me
This game may be short, but dang does it look fun to speed run.
When you speedrun the game that is already short.
You consider it a free games category on steam.
I once skipped the loop on Mortar Canyon with a tricky jump due to Sonic's physics.
Jokes aside glad to see a Forces speedrun. Kinda tired of the Mania or Adventure 2 speedruns.
I love how they can shit on the game and still beat it in under an hour
This game's music definitely needs more recognition
I... actually wanted this game, thinking I'd be almost always playing as a goofy little OC.
Particularly a fox. Which you can't have in this game. Boo.
I like it but yeah, needs more avatar levels.
Goddamn the guy shitting on sonic all the way through was painful
ya.
The one good thing about this game:
Speedrunning
The music
I can’t believe this game is actual an hour or more long
It's about as long as Generations and longer than Colors.
... I actually really liked this game. I didn't think that was an unpopular opinion until I read these comments.
Finally, a ViewSonic monitor that actually lets you view Sonic!
'Normal' - For those who haven't played a Sonic game before
'Hard' - For those who have
I don't think that's how Normal/Hard are supposed to work... not Easy/Normal.
I just want another good modern sonic game ;-;
50:25 "He's dead". haha, that killed me XD
these nerds love sonic.. and i love em for it
so why do people hate on Sonic games always starting with a Green Hill Zone, but not Kirby game for always having a Green Greens? or Mario games with beginning in the Mushroom Kingdom?
coz in sonic games it's just an obvious case of nostalgia pandering.
+Alphahunter456 same reason to why classic sonic is in this game
I don't like it in Kirby and Mario too.
okagron It wasn’t in lost world
How to speedrun Sonic Forces:
1. Hold boost button.
2. Nothing. That's literally it.

49:52 Friendship Is Magic !
While the game is not good, I gotta say it's very cinematic.
This run makes the game look a lot better than it is
Sonic Forces you to go really, *really* fast
This game is way better than everyone makes it out to be. Good props for the runner!
TronBazzardTheReal game is trash
@@ourlasthope9593I respectfully disagree
I'm amazed he didn't fail once in front of an audience.
:D Sonic goes all out ninja in this game lol ...
To think that the actual game normally is only double this time.
I beat this game a couple of weeks ago in 5 hours. Didn’t do ought special for me, something to play I guess but the soundtrack is fucking amazing
The one constant in Sonic games: the music
58:56 Ti- TIME! BAM!
Took me 2 hours to beat in my my first play though it’s a really short game that basically plays its self.
Oh, I always liked sonic lost world
That so amazing!
I love this game only with modding. Like longer level and new physics mod.
I feel like every Sonic game from this decade all use Green Hill and Chemical Plant, like c'mon you have so many great locations from the classic games that you could revisit, why do they keep using those two over and over?
It's basically the nostalgia era..and how bout not revisiting none of them
I've changed my opinion on this game thanks to watching speedruns of it and giving it a replay.

"This is Zavok. He's that guy from that Sonic game nobody likes."
Heyy I love that game :'(
You couled have saved time if you didn't download the Sanic T-shirt becuse of the pop up.
Gotta comment fast!
Is it bad that I actually kinda like this game?
