this video kinda sucks ass why do y'all like this

Thank you guys for having me on as Scorched! And sorry it took me such a long time to get my recording done LMAO

There were a lot of hard hitting and catchy lyrics!! You and Maimy did so great, and Zac did Scorched so wonderfully and expressively. And all the art was super wonderful as well. Thank you for having me on as Hog!! Glad I helped out

I love the fact that Scorched's part aligns perfectly with the 5 stages of grief. Denial: "I don't care if I have fallen from my grace, I will not be replaced" Anger: "Just see yourself in my shoes, they don't know what'd they lose, since they all taunt me" Bargaining: "If I'll go through this pain, he'll be right by my side, strapped to the same chain" Depression: "The world needs a hero, not some complete utter zero, can't copy my looks and expect a prize or a big reward" Acceptance: "I know there's no hope, I'll forever be a beast, but all I ask is for my name to not be forgotten"

I like this song because it’s about someone who’s identity has been robbed, to the point where they’d do anything to get it back, to where he will keep trying just to get to where he was before. He doesn’t have evil intentions like the other exes. He just doesn’t want to be replaced. He wants his spotlight again. The “faker” took everything from him. His friends are dead due to the merge. Yet sonic (scorched) thought hog killed them. Him all alone obviously grew a hatred for him and seeing that he took his spotlight as-well made hog what he is. A broken soul who has nothing to lose. He’d do anything to beat that “cursed hedgehog”.

This is by FAR my favorite song in the vs.EXE soundtrack, and Scorrched's lore having him delete and corrupt the game at the end of it would've made a perfect meta Segway into him deleting the mod folder from your PC since he's one of, if not the last song you do. And the other exes being referenced in his corrupted sprites and lyrics shows that they are all in the same game/folder since his assets are being pulled from them, so him deleting the entire thing would've been such a poetic way to send off the mod. 11/10, will have this on repeat for 5 hours

LYRICS: Hog: In my world, I save the day Some folks call me a hero Climb as you might Toot you horn, and steal the floor Your time is now Come on let's sing some more! Deep in space, Deep in time There's a lot on my mind I gotta stand up to the lines Of evil forces shakin' up the peace Save my friends and planet No decrease! Takin' a chance, you make a risk You're left in a trance While I'm still brisk You see the lace, now get in place Ahdudududu! Know what to do All eyes are on you Slip through thе cracks Show them how you pull through 10, 9, 8, Don't fill up with hate, yeah 7, 6, 5, keep staying alivе, yeah 4, 3, 2, we're counting on you, yeah 1, now we're done Keep saving the day, yeah 10, 9, 8, Don't fill up with hate, yeah 7, 6, 5, keep staying alive, yeah 4, 3, 2, we're counting on you, yeah 1, now we're done Keep saving the day, yeah *Corrupted Hog in pain* *Scorched laughing* Scorched: Everything about him is stealing from my face I don't care if I have fallen from my grace I will not be replaced I had a life everyone wanted Now I'm stuck here, making their lives haunted It's not fair that he gets to have peace While I'm here to give a release Of their death Every day I see a world that's a mockery of my own Making sure I know that it's gone now Just see yourself in my shoes They don't know what they'd lose Since they all taunt me I was able to gain enough to bring them back As torn apart as me We made them hit the shack Now the sky's black and he feels pain as well Made a bloody mess But I don't regret it one bit I have caused distress And I'm okay with it Now FALL! If this world falls apart, I'll take the blame I'd rather it's that than staying the same They toy with my heart like it's a game Now unleash my rage, it can't be tamed Break their days Count them out Don't leave anything together I don't have sympathy for this broken world They've taken everything, even the emeralds I could care less if it fades to nothing I'm the executioner now And I will drive it to the ground Say goodbye to your fiction No more running, your end is coming soon I stand at ends They all praise him While I stand grim "I will never fear the fall" Until it crumbled down Fallen to the ground, broken DON'T FORGET My fading legacy Taken over by jealousy Was my time well spent When it resorted to this? Swept the spotlight under my feet Their bygone hero "obsolete" Memories flashing before my eyes Bring me back to the day I was free I'll keep fighting Fates uniting I can feel it deep in my soul A neverending fire One telling me to seek out control Drenched by a primal #%DĘŚĪRĘ_~|\ The faces I once knew Warped into something new Light the flame in honor of their names To this cycle I am still bound Running circles round this CAGE! Every single time I've been here A familiar view calling Yet it never feels the same! Living Still breathing I won't be moved Can't be removed Part of one cell I'll break this hell If I'll go through this pain He'll be right by my side Strapped to the same chain Tired of being the fool Who has to hide inside shadows Waiting for a glow To shine onto their misery Trying and trying and trying To rekindle what little they have The pieces have been shattered I will never play nice! The world needs a hero Not some complete utter zero Can't copy my looks and expect A prize or a big reward You won't be What I was to everyone around me Your pitiful excuse for "Sonic" does not deceive! I WILL NOT BE REPLACED! Put this story to bed I'll always stay ahead, no matter the cost Lord X: You've seen this play out On the edge of insanity Our duality You'll feel my anger Pulsating through every nerve Fatal Error: Target locked in sight I wasn't made for fright Xenophane: Yet this chaotic ballad will keep on Needlem0use: Spinning round Scorched: Keep on reminding me What I could have Blossomed in the Xenophane: PAST… Needlem0use: PLEASE... X-Terion: Built my prison Needlem0use: Locked in a cage X-Terion: Wishful thinking Needlem0use: That there is a chance To be free Fatal Error: Don't pursue Xenophanes: Turn the page and start anew.. Scorched: I know there's no hope I'll forever be a beast, but All I ask is for my name to not be forgotten! GRAAAAÁAÂÆHHK€H_$>.^ EDIT: spelling mistakes

0:00 - Hog 1:02 - Transforming 1:28 - Scorched 5:45 - I WILL NOT BE REPLACED

I love that the six other EXEs that he shifts into are paired off between "Terrors beyond the void causing misery for the fun of it" and "Earth-born entities that do whatever they can to alleviate their own misery (even if Fatal isn't exactly a ghost like the others)" It's like his mind is being torn between not just getting revenge as Scorched and doing what he knows is right as Sonic, but metaphysically to try and see where on the scale he falls and if he'll be happy with that reality. Also that tiny little "not again..." from Hog as Scorched starts barging in was like an emotional jumpscare.

I love how when Scorched takes over he starts with the usual Sonic laugh but then it descends into a new sinister, demonic laugh. It also represents the character for obvious reasons, but also because Scorched seems like he tried to live with just being Sonic and being forgotten. After he realized he didn't want that, Scorched took his anger and revenge out on Hog's world, descending into madness.

5:48 this part slaps hard

quick fact: when scorched glitches, the cartridge is frying up

I just love how instead of scorched sounding like some evil pretense he is just a corrupted and broken villain that wants his old life that was taken by hog

I love the use of backing vocals during the glitching part, actively swapping between not just lyrical references to past covers Sayo and Maimy arranged, but the actual voices of Lord X, Sarah, Fatal, X-terion, and Xenophanes. Giving that section the context of Scorched slipping from ungodly rage to absolute despair makes it hit extra hard

love how Hog is just singing and having fun, even using spin attacks to keep the song interesting, then Scorched is just saying "HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME" repeatedly.

Manual Blast begins sounding like a basic level-in-world-1 theme. Then after Hog transforms, it sounds like a final boss theme. Or intense battle music in a movie. And it hits pretty hard.

Both “Everything about him is stealing from my face, I don’t care if I have fallen from my grace, I will not be replaced” “Made a bloody mess, but I don’t regret it one bit, I have caused distress and I’m ok with it” are great lines

*Epic Scorched finale* *Two seconds later* Limbless dancing Hog

I like how every “replacement” had a line to suit them “Built my prison” “Spinning round” “locked in a cage” “Target locked” “Don’t pursue” “Turn the page and start a new” This part is an edit but also notice how the text changes depending on the singer Dark Purple = Zephaniah Light purple = needlemouse/Sarah Blue for exterion Red for fatal error and/or furnace

_I know there's no hope_ _I'll forever be a beast, but_ _All I ask is for my name to not be forgotten_ ...that hit so hard wtf

I love how each voices quote represents the charcters situation. Such as needle mouse referencing judahs from the finale giving her a chance to be free. X-terion referencing the fact that he worked on a game he would be eternally trapped in. Fatal error referencing the fact that his creator originally made only to collect data. Only two I don’t really understand is xenopahnes and lord x.

This was awesome! Having Zac as Scorched is genius knowing Scorched is actually the real Sonic.

So many memories from a single line "I will not be replaced" even though it's intentional for it's character as a whole, I cannot forget the real one.

what I'm really impressed about is how far you've come with your channel when you used to have lyric videos without voice acting and now you do, I find it impressive and after watching this I will say this is probably the best lyric video you've done so far hog and scorched's VAs also did an awesome job

What a phenomenal song! Bonoan was amazing as Hog, Zac portrayed Scorched perfectly, and the lyrics were great as well. One thing’s for sure- your names will NOT be forgotten!

hearing scorched slowly lose hope and beg for a glimmer of hope at the end is...sad. the vocals are amazing

We do be manual blasting

3:18 when my brother cleans up his lego blocks

while I believe that some parts could have been better, mainly the fact that theres parts where the notes dont really change at points, when it hits it HITS. The fact you were even able to pull this off is impressive honestly, bravo for that!

alright, at one point in this sea of 914 comments i saw people being confused on why Xeno’s vocals were with the line “turn the page and start anew..” time to theorize to explain why Xeno, probably, sung this line: so as some people know, Xeno is the “new”/Vs. Sonic.EXE version of the Original Sonic.EXE (2011 X), so like Scorched, Sonic.EXE had to “turn the page and start anew” with his life so uh, yea

I love the idea that Scorched is a fallen hero only living on in spirtual form and possessing others because he's obsessed with not being forgotten

I'll be honest, when I saw Bonoan and Zac in the title I thought one was voicing both Hog and Scorched and the other voiced BF, I am happily surprised with this though! The background vocals are amazing too!

Too be honest on a realistic stand point i understand how hog's voice lines would've been harder to but my god SCORCH PART IS AMAZING, 2:10 is the best part, like who ever vocals was this slapped too hard

I think I've just witnessed something more than a lyrical adaptation or whatever we call these things. This was nothing, and I mean NOTHING short of an absolute masterpiece. Yea, Hog's part wasn't too on-tune, but that's perfectly ok. The banger arts, animation, lyrics, and Zac. Zac oh my god. Bonoan was great, don't get me wrong, but Zac absolutely knocked this out of the damn park and then some! I just want to give praise to everyone involved in the making of this.

Lyrics for those who think the words on screen are too fast: Hog: In my world, I save the day Some folks call me a hero, Climb as you might Toot your horn, and steal the floor Your time is now, Come on, let's sing some more! Deep in space, Deep in time There's a lot on my mind I gotta stand up to the lines Of evil forces shakin' up the peace Save my friends and planet, No decrease!

Living Still breathing I won't be moved Can't be removed Part of one cell I'll break this hell If I'll go through this pain He'll be right by my side Strapped to the same chain Tired of being the fool Who has to hide inside shadows, Waiting for a glow To shine onto their misery Trying and trying and trying To rekindle what little they have The pieces have been shattered I will never play nice! The world needs a hero Not some complete utter zero Can't copy my looks and expect A price or a big reward *You won't be* What I was to everyone around me Your pitiful excuse for "Sonic" does not deceive! *I WILL NOT BE REPLACED!* (Scorched starts glitching with the voices of Zephaniah, Fatal Error, Xenophanes, Sarah/Needlem0use, and X-Terion) *PUT THIS STORY TO BED* (SCORCHED) *I'LL ALWAYS STAY AHEAD, NO MATTER THE COST* (SCORCHED) *YOU'VE SEEN THIS PLAY OUT* (Zephaniah Glitch) *ON THE EDGE OF INSANITY* (Zephaniah Glitch) *OUR DUALITY* (Zephaniah Glitch) *YOU'LL FEEL MY ANGER* (Zephaniah Glitch) *PULSATING THROUGH EVERY NERVE* (Zephaniah Glitch) *TARGET LOCKED IN SIGHT* (Fatal Error Glitch) *I WASN'T MADE FOR FRIGHT* (Fatal Error Glitch) *YET THIS CHAOTIC BALLAD WILL KEEP ON* (Xenophanes Glitch) *SPINNING ROUND* (Sarah/Needlem0use Glitch) *KEEP ON REMINDING ME* (SCORCHED) *WHAT I COULD HAVE BLOSSOMED IN THE* (SCORCHED) *PAST* (Xenophanes Glitch) *P̷̖͝Ĺ̸͓E̷̢̎A̸͙̔S̸̞̀E̸͖͆-̵̓ͅ-̶̧͑-̷͚̃-̸̻͐-̵͎̃ (SCORCHED)* *BUILT MY PRISON* (X-Terion Glitch) *LOCKED IN A CAGE* (Sarah/Needlem0use Glitch) *WISHFUL THINKING* (X-Terion Glitch) *THAT THERE IS A CHANCE* (Sarah/Needlem0use Glitch) *TO BE FREE* (Sarah/Needlem0use Glitch) *DON'T PURSUE* (Fatal Error Glitch) *TURN THE PAGE AND START ANEW* (Xenophanes Glitch) (back to normal scorched, while still glitching) *I KNOW THERE'S NO HOPE* *I'LL FOREVER BE A BEAST, BUT* *ALL I ASK IS FOR MY NAME TO NOT BE FORGOTTEN!* *GRA-AAA-..-AA-.AAHH-.HHHH--.-HHH.HHH--H* (scorched fades out)

Everything about this is amazing, the vocals, the lyrics, Scorched glitching into different vocal covers, and of course the "I WILL NOT BE REPLACED" being used for its intended purpose, this is cinematic as hell

5:48 goes so hard

...Manual Blast was already a banger, but the lyrics make it even better. The voices fit perfectly, if you ask me!

Something I only just now noticed is that near the end, when Scorched’s face is glitching, you can occasionally see Scorched’s actual face for a split second.

1:58 STARVED HITS THE GRIDDY

HOGSWEEP 0:47 this part is gonna be living rent free in my head for a while

Makes me wonder how much rage sonic was filled with seeing his friend's die and fade away into nothing and just replaced by completely different characters

Honestly after reading up the lore of Scorched... I feel bad for Sonic in this story since it isnt really some dumb rom hack corruption/demonic void entity that caused this to him. It was just a rom hack to morph Sonic's game into a pirated game that just literally did a copy/paste gimmick of ripping off Sonic while the real cast was stuck in a void.. Love how you turned the plot into Sonic/Scorched's lyrics of his descent into insanity & the 5 stages of grief

Holy crap everyone killed it with these lyrics, Zac took the spotlight as Scorched and my god the ending was by far the best part it gave me chills. You have outdone yourself with this one.

God the level of emotion at the end is tear-jerking

The part with scorched reminded me alot of DAgames. Well done!

The “I will never fear the fall” reference genuinely got me a little. Amazing job.

i love how the power-up box thingy switches between no innocence sonic, needlemouse, starved eggman, hog?, and fatal error

Can we appreciate how much work bfs voice actor did

1:28 that was smooth

This was the peak of FNF lyric videos. I’m SPEECHLESS! Sayo that was so so GOOD! I love everything about this. The emotion that Zac put into this: the glitch section, everything is PERFECT!! Unfortunately as you’ve hit a peak, I doubt anything could ever top this on your channel.

A bit late bit wow this was phenomenal I love how Scorched shows no sympathy on what he’s done to this world it fits him so well. And the fact you got custom gameplay for this is amazing! Great work!

I was wonder why the font was changing colors during the glitched part, then I realized that the different colors represent the different EXE’s and you can even hear their respective voices.

“Takin a chance, making a risk. You’re in a trance while I stay brisk.” Best line

"Made a bloody mess"? OH NO! HE'S BRITISH!

10 months old and this still is awesome as hell

This was amazing,The part with scorched is my fav and you got another youtber to help makes it even better keep up the great work.

05:45 Stop making me being replaced!

Won’t be able to make it for the premiere, but I can’t wait to watch this. Boutta be a BANGER.

1 year and this song still is one of if not my favorite song. I just feel the song its perfect for every situation it has a story and its exactly how you think scorched sonic would sound truly a masterpiece.

Man, i can't believe i have been missing out on this banger, armydillo did a fantastic job on the song just like you and maimy did with the lyrics I may actually like hog now

I don't know if someone already commented about this, and if they did, please tell me: at 1:24 [basically Scorch's beginning] I see a monitor in the background that shows Starved, NMI [No More Innocence], Needlem0use, Fatal Error, and I think Hog with his eyes blacked out. These notices of mine are not in that order btw. Anyways, yeah! Great collab!

For those who are wondering: The first two backgrounds are from Illegal Instruction. The other one is (most likely) an edit from Scorched's Illegal Instruction background. Edit: In other words: The gameplay is (most likely) from a modified version of Illegal Instruction. Edit 2: The glitching, disappearing/fading, and the first the backgrounds are the same in Illegal Instruction. But, the bright red blood background is not in the original Illegal Instruction.

It's strange that it's Hog and Scorched singing this. With how they were portrayed, and how Scorched was trying to stay relevant, it made me think back to EXE, and how Revie's framed accusations cost us an already great idea that would have been done earlier. My interpretation of Hog and Scorched is this. MY OPINION. DO NOT FLAME ME. Hog and Scorched are both sides of EXE revived from the depths of oblivion, changing their looks and identities to allow their universe to stay within the realm of existence. However, it seems something keeps them from returning, hence the glitchy faces we see of portrayed monsters that still stick around.

I accidentally listened to this on 1.25× speed and it is awesome

Starved, Fatal, NMI and Needle in the monitor was a cool detail

Also for people who don't know scorched brought tails and knuckles back to life so thats why you see them in some art

Uouuu que trabalho INCRÍVEL!! Simplismente maravilhoso as vozes, artes, letra, parabéns!!

Love how scorched sounds like he's mentle break down when he's glitching

0:47 sounds so good

I so very desperately want to hear the other EXE's voices at the end separately from the music. It sounded amazing in the song and I'm so curious about what it sounds like isolated.

Bro the end of the song really tied it all together! This is amazing

I feel like this song is inconsistent because there are parts that are simply crazy good and jaw dropping, but at the same time there is also 3:22 to 3:34 where it feels really out of place, like something breaks... but oh boy the good parts are many and are amazing! gj for this!

man this is such a great cover and collab! I also really love at the end where the face glitches/switches between Him(Scorched?), X-terrion(I think that was his name?) Fatal, Needlemouse, and I think one other maybe? or it could be a transition one that I was seeing either way this was such a good cover and the artwork was amazing as well!

Honestly the lyrics with Hog's part were not too great, off-tune and off-beat, but the second part with Scorched is absolutely amazing! Props to the whole team behind this!

The art and animation loops for Scorched's meltdown is phenomenal !

I really love how in some parts of the final minute you can hear Scorched's voice actually tremble a bit

When it got to " I will not be replaced" I was doing nothing but FEELING EMOTIONS

I like the idea of Scorched being Sonic angry that he got replaced by some bootleg version of himself and is out for bloody revenge.

5:45 This is stuck in my head and i love it

This is what I been waiting for! 10/10 So sad that I was not there for the live

I like how fatal's line is "wasn't made for fright" And xterion's line was "Built my prison" Although fatal's line would have been cooler if majin said it but whateverr

These lyrics and hog lore make me shed tears of absolute dread 🪦

wow for the glitch part it sounds like the og voice actors for each Character. Great job guys

"Ahdududu" best line in this video

really was the blasted manual of all time

*Cracks knuckles* Hoo boy. This cover is amazing on so many levels, each one deserves to be expanded upon. 1. While some comments say that Hog’s part is a little weaker, I think it is completely justified here. This song isn’t Hog’s song. It’s Scorched’s. Additionally, the parts that are offbeat or off key help convey the feeling that something isn’t right, as well as convey the idea that Hog is meant to be a bootleg of sonic. 2. Zac would probably be in Scorched’s good graces for making his portion memorable as hell. The almost animalistic growling compliment his savage appearance, but there’s a hint of Sonic’s voice to remind you of his origins. You can feel every bit of emotion here. 3. The lyrics for both characters are perfect. Hog’s part has the upbeat yet sassy feel you expect from most Sonic songs with lyrics, showing that he’s definitely got that classic Sonic personality. The little “Not again” during the transition really makes you feel bad for the poor guy. He knows the terrible things that are about to happen, and he’s powerless to stop it, pleading helplessly. 4. Scorched’s lyrics fit his character like a custom made glove. You can feel his rage at being stuck in a, as he puts it, mockery of his own world, forced to share a body with what is essentially a replacement for him. And with lines like “I have caused distress and I’m okay with it”, it’s clear that he knows what he does is wrong, but that no longer matters to him. However, there’s also some lines that imply that there is still some good left in Scorched. Whether this is a remnant of Sonic or Hog trying to regain control is up for interpretation. It’s also clear that he wants his friends back. But most of all, he doesn’t want to be forgotten. So he’s decided that if he has to be a monster to be remembered, then he’ll be a monster.

2:07 this part just is heavenly, it just sounds extremely good to me

Man it looks very cool and the drawing that comes in different come

Hog's part still need some tweaking but you guys NAILED Scorched's part,i love it

I literally didn't know it was possible for an fnf lyrical cover to be good

"I know theres no hope ill forever be a beast but all i ask is for my name to not be forgotten" is such a amazing line i LOVE it!

Coming back after a year, this is still fire

Do you have the chaos emeralds? Nah we have Peaceful diamonds

You took my least favorite song and made it into my most FAVORITE SONG EVER! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😊

THIS WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!! EVERYONE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB!!! THE ART. THE VOCALS. THE ANIMATIONS. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! KUDOS TO EVERYONE!!!

I just noticed the item box after hog transformed into scorched XDD

The part after the whole part after 5:45 hits different.

Such an underrated banger.

The dance hog did at the end tho 😂
