Sucks that like 15 people DQ'd. I won literally a single set through nothing more than mashing the punch button and got 9th lol

Bro thank u for all you do for us

I dont think I've ever seen people hate on it, Ive just seen people say it's simple

@@illford6921 Check any list of worst Sonic games. This game usually makes the list.

Well I mean, it is bad. If you've never played a fighting game in your life & this was first, sure you might think it's a good game. But If we're comparing to successful fighting games or just any other fighting game's mechanics in general, this game is absolutely horrendous to play.

@@KingM119 Alright. That is your opinion and I respect that. Regards of whether or not this game is objectively mechanically good, my point was that high level play makes this game look good.

@@jamalcharles9533 To add my own two cents, I don't think the mechanics are bad at all, just a little unorthodox. I'd best describe it as being to Fighting Vipers and Virtua Fighter what Marvel vs. Capcom is to Street Fighter. A 3D fighter that's simplified compared to its sister Sega series (Virtua Fighter and Fighting Vipers) and very frantic. The unique system for blocking filters a lot of people, too. As for the game's reputation, I think a lot of it has to do with how often it's conflated with Sonic R and Sonic 3D Blast, as it was released around the same time and, for what it's worth, it's light on story and even get some details wrong (such as having 8 Chaos Emeralds), so Sonic fans just write it off as being garbage due to those details, despite the gameplay itself being fun (once you get used to it).

Love to see it.

Yeah but it will be better if the champions Kos and MysticNoodles was in there.

same! so happy those sonic haters finally left and now we get people that's actually played it and touched it before! if your PC can't handle it you can always play this on Xenia (Xbox 360 emulator) with the XBLA version of the game or instead thru Dolphin or PCSX2 with Sonic Gems Collection.

If you have a PS3 or any Xbox since the 360, you can play on those (but you do have to pay for Xbox Live for the Xbox version)

You can try the model 2 emulator

same bro

Sega needs to sell this franchise like for real. They've been suffering from hubris for 30 years strong now

@@stormcutter59 The.... Sonic franchise?

​@stormcutter59 no bro what is wrong you And what are you smoking on?

And Sonic's future is looking bright right now Sega is not selling the series

@wildsword6856 Bright? Over a decade of broken games, a cheap lackluster series of movies, and the inability to move on from the most mundane of series traditions without ever improving on Sonic's sense of control and game design? They can't even get a simple HD collection of old ports right and botched a simple remaster of Colors. Is THAT the "bright future" you're speaking of? Cause that sounds to me like the history of mediocrity that has plagued the Sonic franchise since it's infancy. We could be doing so much better, but fans like you will accept things for what they are and act like it's peak. It's pathetic

From what i remember Metal Sonic, super Sonic, and Eggman(unless both parties agree) are banned but two of those are bosses and the other is a reward so it’s understandable.

He asked me after the first match if he was locked in and I said "nah go wild!"

omg wish i never read this

Personally, I think it adds to the whole cartoony feel of the game.

They’re referring to the barriers as meter, although it doesn’t function as meter traditionally at all. You can use one barrier to enter the hyper mode, and use barriers to block. When you run out, you’re out of barriers for the match

Nope, I said he was good to switch when he asked

Tbh this is my first time hearing about this too wth! lol

Its a 3 button fighter where an ENTIRE BUTTON is just BLOCK (punch kick block), what the fuck are you talking about

@@yuribacon you see the barrier depleting right?

@@Christian-wr4ge Only certain moves deplete barriers. It is sometimes a legit strat to drop barrier right before your opponent would use a barrier breaking move to save that barrier in exchange for a slight amount of damage. Also, this is a game where you can spend a barrier to get no end lag on all moves for like 5 seconds or something. Its called resource management. I'm gonna be honest, if this game had infinite barriers, just sitting in barrier and waiting for your opponent to do something would very likely be way too strong and easy, even if it somehow wouldn't be the best gameplan.

​@@Christian-wr4geyeah not that crazy anymore, I mean its just punishing you for blocking everything. Sometimes there are better options than blocking

Good players really rely on dodges than guarding

It’s a fun game, and people enjoy fun games. What’s confusing about that? And what exactly makes it a “crap fighter” compared to others? I bet you don’t know much about this game at all

How could you see this video and take away that this game is "crap"?

AM2 doesn’t make bad games

You've never played the game, have you? It's so much fun, I definitely recommend it

Screw you
