Can we take a second to appreciate that Tails has an attack called “IQ200 Attack?”

As a kid I was very confused when I played "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle" and there was no fighting mode.

This like the 3rd video in less than a week that a creator I'm subscribed to has mentioned Sonic Battle and that is honestly starting to worry me.

Fang the Sniper is originally from Sonic Triple Trouble on Game Gear as one of the antagonists, and he was also in Sonic drift 2. Sega planned on keeping him around, but it just didn't happen. Bean the Dynamite is a reference to Dynamite Dux, a beat em up by Sega AM2, which is the studio that developed Sonic the Fighters. He's based on Bin and Pin, the main characters of that game, and is allegedly the son of Bin, although Bin is a duck and Bean is a woodpecker so I'm not sure how that works. Bark the Polar Bear is an original creation for Sonic the Fighters, probably because they wanted a large and strong character for the roster. They appeared in the comics quite a while after, known as Team Hooligan, and had cameos in Sonic Mania.

Well thought out research: I sleep Explaining how you cheesed a boss by poking with light attacks with frame advantage: I WAKE

I'm still dreaming of a sonic battle sequel

Sonic battle is *one of the best* sonic games ever made

KBash bringing us late 90's kids the reviews we love and deserve.

In all honesty, I want a competitive Sonic fighting game made by Arc Systerm Works. In general, I just want more Sonic spin offs. We've only had one party game and one RPG. We had plenty of racing games though.

I loved Sonic Battle with all of my heart. Great vid as always!

Im pretty sure Mugen means "Infinity" which makes a lot of sense...

I actually know some of those characters.... The "dark sonic" thing was from the the tv show "sonic x" from an ep where sonic snapped and got really pissed and for some reason got this dark aura thing, and then I guess he got even worse right after that so he got even darker with white eyes. Whoever made that game didnt make it up, its an actual thing from the show xD. It didnt last long but it was in it. That show had some weird shit And shadic! It was from a fan animated thing from YEARS ago. that shit was on newgrounds! I remember it so well, it was this dbz inspired animation where all the voices were lines reused from the games and stuff. It was pretty awesome stuff back in the day xD And who doesnt know charmy the bee? He was in sonic heroes! I played the shit out of that game when I was a kid...

Your channel is really growing bro ! Keep up the good work.

"I like edgy characters" *shows Vergil* I am beyond offended

Shadic is from a fan animation series called nazo unleashed or something

I played Sonic Battle when I was a teen. Chuck E Cheese had a sonic fighter arcade cabinet. *Nostalgia*

11:35 I remember that white and green hedgehog from some old sonic rpg flash games

The dialogue in Sonic Battle fits perfectly for the series. And no the series isn't really "light-hearted". You only say that cause Sonic Colors and onward exist.

Emerald was a character in Sonic X. I cried when he died

I agreed until he said it "the dialogue comes off as so out of place in a Sonic game because it doesn't feel earned". If it was like gameplay elements like satisfaction via setpiece sure but what he said made zero sense. I think he meant something else but didn't know how to say it. I guess I earned the intro to SA2 right? lol

Emerl becomes evil in the next game(sonic advance 3)

Your thumbnails are *so* good at catching my eye when I'm scrolling through my subscription feed, I love them. Other creators should take notes.

Fun fact: Back when I was a little baby child, I had no idea that Emerl could learn new fighting moves. So I played and beat the whole game using his default move set, constantly confused about why characters kept saying how strong he was.

"gum gum no Gatling gun"

I can feel the MUGEN. _FEEL_ it.

This channel is so underrated. You're writing and criticism is amazing

The sonic battle story was featured in the Sonic X “anime” but in the end, Cream defeats Emerl, not sonic so it felt more sad because of how creams primary traitent was innocence or friendship

I havent been as in love with a content creator as I am with you for a long time.

The topic of sonic fighting games resurfacing makes me happy and sad that we’ll probably never have a really good one 3:00 Also YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD WIN??!!?

Sonic Battle was my childhood man. I still listen to the soundtrack to this day.

Was not expecting that video to pop up anywhere else. Thanks for crediting me and stuff. I don't play StF anymore, but I still stand by everything I said in that video. The important message is: Play what you like. Plopping a Like on this vid, good content.

Hey man I found your account like I think a week ago with the pikmen video and I just wanted to say you're doing great and keep up the good job

Ay let’s go, finally some Sonic Battle recognition

Man Sonic the Fighters OST is fucking awesome.

Now here's a little secret: in the Sonic The Fighters game you can turn into Super Sonic in the Metal Sonic fight, making it fucking low-iq level easy

Sonic Battle is my favorite story in the entire Sonic franchise, but I have to make a hard disagree that Emerl’s death was unearned. The story teaches us about life. Life is short, and that’s why we must live life to the fullest. We grew up with Emerl. Sonic and friends raised them like their child. The game was about Emerl get stronger and learning the value of life. All those moments with Sonic and friends, was what made that death earned. And when Emerl finally died, I felt what Sonic and friends did. I cried because I helped make him stronger and become a fully grown robot. I can respect that you didn’t feel the same way, but I’m not gonna lie that when you said it was out of nowhere, it hurt my feelings.

Man I LIVED the Sonic fan characters and fan games era (even made an actual little game for my character back then) and this video just made me smile the whole way through, wish it went on longer Cheers! Amazing channel

Thank you Diamondbolt for teaching me about you. You just earned a subscriber, sir.

The last part got me

“King of the car ride games” I felt that lmao

**Watches any E3 trailer.** Me: 9:45

Adventure 1 had gammas story about him Turing good and dying at the end It also had the story of chaos wanting revenge on the world because the echidnas killed the chao Adventure 2 was about Gerald having his niece gunned down by military and shutting down his life’s work so he wants to destroy the world and in the end shadow also dies And just in general up until colors the games always had a darker tone than say mario so it’s not inconsistent with the rest of the franchise I feel people need to do more research on this seires before they talk about it

Sonic Battle was an okay Sonic the Hedgehog-related fighting game, but the virtual training was pain the butt and the only way you can use all of Emerl's ultimate skill cards is by using Game Shark and that sucks. And by the way, Emerl's name is pronounced "ML".

I don't know why so many people are suddenly talking about the game featuring my boy Emerl but I'm all for it!

Fang is a character from sonic triple trouble

....I didn't even know Sonic fighting games existed (outside of Mugen sorta).

If this video waited up until the end of September of 2019, he could have covered the Sonic Smackdown Fangame.

I really like Sonic the Fighters style. It's so cartoony, fun and interesting. I'd like this style much more then whatever we got in Adventure, Advance and Battle.

Fang the sniper was actually relatively common in Sonic games

4:43 Some say Shadow’s stand is 「THE WORLD」but, as it shows, his stand is actually「THE HAND」

I want to touch up on that one part where you talked about Brain and Sonic with that comparison. Personally, I think this story for sonic battle best suits sonic since this is how sonic is at less for the most part in the Japanese version during those times while the American changes everything about him to be close with the kids while this sorta still kept that but added more to the faithful original version of him. I grew up with the sonic adventure games so I'm more into the dark tones the series can get (not talking about forces that game was a joke) and love how much depth they finally added to the American version in sonic battle hell in the Japanese version of Sonic X Tails would be seen swearing. Overall the reasoning for you maybe to feel like this isn't sonic in general but the bad adaptation of who he is.

You didn't mention that Sammyclassicsonicfan is unlockable in Sonic Battle.

Say what you want about Sonic games, but Sonic Battle is a GODSEND, and I hope that they make a sequel, a remake, or a remaster.

Sonic battle - So this is what sonic x took from. I really liked that season, it was a tournament like dragonball does. Better than this game had, but the fact they took it and improved it was a feat to behold.

When you said that sonic the fighters was sonics first 3d appearance you’re almost right. Sonic the fighters was the first 3d sonic game, but not his first 3d appearance. That honor goes to one of my favorite Sega games NiGHTS into Dreams specifically Christmas NiGHTS where a playable sonic could be unlocked as one of the presents you get.

The story doesn’t have to be some master class to be enjoyable. Look at a bunch of popular animated films. Those are “corny” but still good. I don’t think Sonic should be chastised for trying serious stories solely because of the meme culture that arose that just makes people look at it like a joke. The fact that the characters actually had... character, and were able to get serious is why I always preferred Sonic over Mario. Sonic is an actual character, and his stories used to go deeper than just saving the same person over and over, or fighting Eggman over and over. Nowadays though, the stories are actually corny, because they’re nothing but jokes, but then try to force some drama somewhere in. It’s not the same like before, where characters actually grew, or the stories weren’t afraid to do more than your basic platformer. Sadly, people told them that Sonic should never get serious, and that it should just be like all other platformers. Basic and boring. Now, all the character has been sucked out, and Sonic is little else than another animal mascot nowadays.

Deep Sonic Lore: Emerl's parts were used by Eggman after he exploded to make GEMERL which is the base for the boss machines in Sonic Advance 3 and in the true ending after Sonic and Eggman have to team up to beat it, Tails repairs the robot to be Cream's robot butler. And that was the last time Cream was relevant in Sonic games because Eggman can't beat Gemerl so he can't kidnap Vanilla or Cream SO SHRUG.

4:35 and shadow.... Is thanos, ig? *snaps*and BAM! ... This had me laughing hard that my roommate and neighbor woke up after midnight

Bro, sonic battle was my jam a few years ago

It's a damn shame you never spoke about Sonic Smackdown.

It's so painful he doesn't know the sonic characters in the last game. (I know characters like gemerl and scourge are so exclusive, but surely most sonic fans have heard of such games/comics.)

loved the commentary on fg. and for your defense almost no mugen game is playable by a normal human being on the default cpu difficulty. I think there are fixes and maybe the easy difficulty is better but i remember that not by a great margin. I always play them with someone the cpu tends to spam projectiles and cheap attacks.

Mugen was not an acronym. It was the japanese word for infinity because your roster can be infinite

Little did we know after years of waiting. We get another fan game "Sonic Smackdown" which is actually decent

Sonic Battle is that one game where all those early 2000 sprite battles got all its resources from, right?

Aw man that donnie scene had my crying 😂😂😂😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾

Not showing Sonic Battle Chaos Greed? Sheesh... Lost the opportunity to show the best sonic fighting fangame that someone has made I still to this day have nightmares from the final boss... that shit is so hard.

9:44 Fucking! Comedy! *Gold* !

10:46 Holy shit it's Basses lover Gayon from Final Fantasy Sonic X!

You didnt mention Honey the Cat in Sonic Fighters? Lame!! That could have been worth a joke or two.

Sonic battle always reminded me of power stone, which is an awesome series and I’ve never seen anyone mention it.

The cap is because equipping all the ultra attacks is broken.

Thank you for making this. I thrive on games like these.

What the hell the sonic boom cartoon was awesome.

Goodness I enjoy your sense of humor those fan made game had me on the floor!

THOSE are some ofm y favorites... Thanks!

I'm so happy your channel is growing mane.

Sonic battle was amazing, wish i could find mine. I remember making a perfect emerl that i never lost with edit: i found my game after some deep searching for quite a bit. gotta charge my old gameboy now

I remember getting to the end of sonic battle and figuring out i can customize emeral at the very end

Dude Fang was a well-established Sonic character from the handheld games and not including him in that game would've been a waste of potential considering the relatively small cast of the sonic universe at the time (though in that regard it is baffling why Espio was the only one of the Chaotix included)

7:18 damn he used the Digimon battle spirit character select sound affect

This was fucking hiliarious, then your synopsis on the very last game you presented came along....hahahaha wow! What an awesome ending to the video! You killed the ending to this video like Nintendo killed AM2R. Thank you good sir.

Sonic battle and Sonic DX were the best Sonic games i have ever played.

Forgot to mention that polar bear is misspelled as "polerbear"

6:57-7:01 LMFAOOO I SHOULDN'T BE LAUGHING THIS HARD

I love how I've played through Sonic Battle multiple times and I never knew that the special moves were a rock-paper-scissor system. I never knew you got immunities to them or anything. In fairness though, did I really need to know that when I can just Sonic Up Draft infinite through the whole game?

OH HEY! -Austin Eruption- KBash uploaded a new video! Naaah, just messin. Nice to see all them uploads

Yo why does sonic the fighter look so good (look, not gameplay)? Like fuck it’s way smoother and cleaner than I remember

6:57 this made me lose my mind

1:26 hey shout out to Legault. Loved Fire Emblem. *Nervous glance at Golden Sun's corpse* Uh oh, my GBA childhood isn't next on the chopping block, is it?

I shed a tear at 9:28.... But then I remembered the secret ending in Sonic Advanced 3 and I'm happy again :)

And then, just weeks after this video released, an actual serious high-effort Sonic-themed Mahvel knockoff came out

Sonic Smackdown is the best fighting fan game, there's also Sonic Battle Rematch

Welcome to M.U.G.E.N, where balance doesn't exist

Another video about this game surprises me honesty. I use to play this game more than I played smash bros meele.

Emerl's death doesn't fit? May I remind you of a Gamma.

Marx is the edgiest character

Yo, I had sonic the fighters at my local arcade. It was my childhood. I beat the entire game with only punches cause I was like 5 lol. Metal sonic was pretty hard but eggman was braindead and I could perfect him just about every time.

Whatever you do, man, AVOID SONIC GATHER BATTLE! It's a high grade Trojan, a completely unique Trojan at that...
