I got to play this game in the Sega arcades in Lost Judgment and my favorite part was the character models with the way they squash and stretch, it gave it a very unique visual identity.

In the story of Sonic the Fighters, all of the characters are all guardians each emerald. The only exception was Fang as he stole his emerald from someone else who never see or get the name of. I like to believe that it’s Honey.

It might partly be my nostalgia, but I always had fun playing Sonic the Fighters with friends back when you could only get it on Gems Collection. Even friends who didn't care about Sonic loved playing it for some reason, but either way still grateful for its existence.

THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED!

It's always cool for people talk about this underrated gem (actually my favorite Sonic game btw lol)

Most KZfaqrs get sponsors from Crunchyroll. Blocky boxes the competition with a sponsorship from an entire university.

rocket metal and roboegg probably have the shortest shortest time for them to appear in a game that was nearly forgetten

Can't wait for the Cybershell crossover

Honey the Cat is one of the best Sonic characters ever, and I am still very upset that the Archie Comics got canceled one arc before she was going to make a return.

6:35 Eggman blowing up an orphanage is something I didn't know I wanted until now

Okay seeing a sponsor for an University of all things in a video about an obscure Sonic fighting game threw me through the loop real hard

I distinctly remember the arcade of this game as a child being at an old children's pizzaria called Jeepers. Fang and Espio standing out to me the most as the only two characters I knew about at the time was Sonic, Tails and Eggman (aka Robotnic). ...Now for my absurd head cannon for a sequel to this "Marvelous Queen" of a gem! Mechanically, it doesn't have to change all that much if at all tbh. Just give different moves to each character more moves than the original, a super meter (shaped like a chaos emerald that goes up to at least 7 levels as well as changes into their colors for each level) and give the barriers more uses than just blocking attack combos like maybe anti combo burst moves as a get-off-me kind of ability similar to skull girls when they do a burst to push back opponents. Or a parry option to quick stun opponents, leaving a window for you to attack. Or perhaps use it to summon notable shields through out the Sonic series such as: Fire shield, Bubble shield, Magnet shield, Chao shield, Gaia Shield, Super shield, Speed shoes, Invincibility, ect. And still be capable of use at least three to go Hyper mode. Honestly you can utilize all of these different functions similar to Street Fighter 6's Drive system (Chaos Drive System lol). As far as a Sonic fighting game goes you could also implement an assist/character swap mechanic like Marvel vs Capcom or something (more specifically Ultimate 3) since the Sonic series puts a heavy emphasis on team work. And just for shits & giggles -- stage transitions and destructable environments similar to other 3D fighrers like Virtua Fighterss and Fighting Vipers, Tekken, DOA, Soul Caliber, 3D ps2 era Mortal Kombat games (Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon ect.) As for characters heres a few obvious and straight up cool ass picks: Team Hero - Sonic, Tails, Knuckles Team Dark - Shadow, Rouge, E-123 Omega Team Rose - Amy Rose, Cream & Cheese, Big The Cat & Froggy Team Chaotix - Espio, Charmy Bee, Vector Team Sol - Blaze, Silver, Marine Team Babylon Rogues - Jet, Wave, Storm Team Hooligan - Fang, Bean, Bark Team Mighty - Honey, Ray, Mighty Team Metal - Metal Sonic, Tails Doll, Metal Knuckles Team Eggman Empire - Chaos Gamma, Sage, Dr. Eggman Team Mechanix - Germeral, RC Tails (Sea Fox), Bomb & Heavy DLC: Team Light - Takal, Chip, Chaos Zero Team Abyss - Infinte, Black Doom, Mephiles Team Witch-cart - Höeke Wulf, Carrotia, Bearanger Team Battle Kuku Empire - Great Battle Kuku XVI (Speedy), Fukurokov, Great Battle Kuku XV Team Mecha - Mecha Sonic MK 0, Mecha Sonic MK 1, Mecha Sonic MK 2 Team Underdog - Buddy (Default Forces Avatar), Dodonpa, Sticks Team Jam - Mach, Sharps, Max

For someone with only 10 videos out, they sure are a high quality 10. 👏👏👏👏👏

Honey the Cat is one of my favourite Sonic Characters

Blocky never disappoints

7:14 That edit is everything!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The editing is one of the funniest I have ever seen! Looks like you win the prize of reviewing robo blast and its goated moding scene for a video!

7:13 i keep replaying this gag over and over

I've been looking forward to a new video from you for so long! It's so damn great to see you back 👏

A very well rounded video that I think covers a lot of the basics of the game and it's unused content. There's some deeper dives here but to get into the nitty gritty would be a little boring. Great work, and thanks for the shoutout! ... but you take BACK what you said about Pengo!!! >:(

Oooo! Sonic The Fighters Lore

You are seriously underrated. I love your editing and sense of humour, and good video on STF as well. Enjoyed the little trivia

8:24 The devs really liked Eggman!

Now this is guaranteed to be a Blocky Banger™️

Dude literally the funniest and most well informed video I have seen on anything in awhile dude awesome job this video was a masterpiece keep up the amazing work:)

15:28 I played Sonic the Fighters on PS2 when I was younger and I think that Honey was playable in that version?? I can’t remember exactly though cuz it was a while back lmao

Blocky is easily the best Sonic obsessed man child ever

my all-time favourite childhood game shit was peak, and the fact they haven't remade it or done another game is criminal

This popped up on my recommendations randomly, I loved the editing style and the humor, might stay for a bit.

Blocky, your videos always make my day and your editing is extremely professional! Keep up the great work! :D

I love your energy and editing keep up the good work man

i swear i remember hearing that Hurry Up track in the Gems Collection version of Sonic the Fighters

the editing is so good across your channel! i hope you keep it up man these videos are highly entertaining

My god. A youtuber that posts sonic videos that is genuinely very funny? I cannot wait for more posts

8:59 My Boy! Respect to my boy Metal Knuckles. Come on Sega. Use him for something.

Any video of Sonic the fighters gets an instant like for me. Great video mate!

I played this game so much as a kid, it’s straight up fire. The game is a banger. The game is a delight, it’s swell I’d even add.

i have very great memories related to this game it's an extremely fun fighting game with a banger soundtrack

I'm an old player but a new fan of sonic nowdays, would love to see your content on the older games just like this one! like sonic pinball cause just the ost alone will make your ears burst haha your funny edits and humor made it an instant follow 💕💖

Didnt expect to see a sponsor spot for my school. Have had nothing but wonderful experiences with them and they're definitely a lot more trustworthy than Full Sail ever was.

I really love your way of editing videos, good stuff keep it up 👍

First video I’ve seen from you and I already like it, nice work!

The gags and edits in this are hilarious!

Sonic the fighters being my 2nd sonic game ive ever played brings me back so many memories

I do want to add that rocket metal WAS in a archie comic to my memory, in like, 1 panel...

I can’t wait until your darkuplier arrives, spherical Ball Man

Fun fact. The speech bubbles are in the game. Being included from an attack of Bean stealing Amy’s hammer with the no speech bubble being used from Amy.

God damn this video is good. It's not often when I find a new youtuber and I instantly fall in love with their content and subscribe.

I typed Sonic into KZfaq and sorted by Last Hour and I found this and I'm so happy I did! Consider me a new fan! Btw congrats on the sponsor! 😊❤

I’ve been waiting for another video for so long I love them so much

I'm one of the people who played the Gems Collection version, Hurry Up! is correctly implemented as Dr. Eggman's final boss theme there.

its crazy how underrated you are. you are just so god damn funny

13:40 = Not so hard to do... With at least 1 stock in your barrier gauge, press Barrier + UP, DOWN + Punch. Explaining: While holding your barrier, press Up, release the Barrier Button, press DOWN + Punch. Move done jumpess... You're welcome.

Wow man your editing in incredible

this is unrelated to the video but i love the rhythm heaven themeing on the channel :) the community has been sparking back up recently due to heaven studio and remegamix and im all for it

The GOAT is back. You deserve way more subs, the quality of content is insane

I must say, I love this channel. It reminds me a lot of cybershell in the way that you’ll talk about some niche topic for a while and make it entertaining. While i do like cybershell more, more cybershell is just a good thing.

Really excited for that no damage run, you might even create some new tech or something!! :)

I swear this guy is Cybershell's twin brother, he gives off the Cybershell vibe but slightly different

Another classic Blockyboxguy video.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the video, but I came here to say that Sonic Smackdown could be considered a spiritual successor to this game. It's pretty cool.

i used to play sonic the fighters so much on sonic gems collection, just going in as sonic and see him beat his friends non stop still they drop. i even managed to get super sonic once, it was a gruelling but fun run!

Fun little tid-bit. The Mecha Knuckles from Sonic R appears in the multiplayer versus mode in the new Sonic All Stars game as Knuckles' robot stand-in where everyone is replaced by robot replicas.

Amazing video, really funny and good edits! 👍🏾

Awesome video! I had no idea Green Eggman was cut from the game, we've truly been robbed by Sega

16:09 ok this actually got me laughing so hard ngl

This was a great vid. I didn’t even know Metal Sonic and Robotnik were playable in the 2012 release. Also if Sega were to make a 3rd Sonic fighting game what style would you prefer traditional 2d or open arena 3D? I kinda wanna see it as open arena 3D like Sonic the fighters and battle but give it the the same care and level as dragon ball sparking zero. Maybe not as many characters obviously but it would be a good way to get characters from the Classic and IDW in a game.

I feel like most people in the west experienced sonic the fighters through its arcade mode and not its versus mode. Which is a shame because I think the game holds up really well when compared to a lot of early 3d fighting games

Played this in the gems collection as a kid. This shit is so fuckin good

funny enough, i’ve recently been hearing a little bit more about Fighters… it’s not much by any means but i’ll hear a name drop every now and then and often “this game was actually kinda cool” makes me extremely happy as a fighting game fan :)) GOD the things i would do for a new Sonic fighter 😭😭

Man i love that your keeping @cybershell 's legecy and his vibe

This game was my childhood spent so much time ❤

For some reason there was a time where my grandma had a multiarcade machine (some pirate thing they do in third world countries similar to a Pandora Box) and Sonic the Fighters was one of the games, although named as Sonic Championship instead, i was like 7? 8? I loved the game as a kid, now as an adult I came back to it last year on PS3 and yup, hasn't aged well

There is gonna be an 8-player Online Battle Mode for Sonic Superstars…..so yes, you can grief kids online

After 4 long months, he's finally back to feed me some entertainment.

i love fighters It was my favorite game in sonic gems collection, i remember so many things! Spamming R2 because it was a hard hitting move I always died against the Bark (i think thats his name) And i got really hyped when i beat it so cool

This game feels a lot like SEGA's own 2.5D fighters in the same decade, particularly Fighting Vipers (Wherein Sonic and Tails used to be in the game's code, IIRC). Heck, way more so than other 2D fighters.

The amazing legend returns!!!!!

What a good day

11:44 I think that's rocket metal on the left.

Unironically Lost Judgment is the best way to play the game

First encounter with your channel. Love your humour, subscribed

What's that music in the intro and outro of this video? Awesome video btw, I didn't know there were that many scrapped playable eggmen.

finally somebody made a video about sonic fighters

This has been the most fun video I've seen in good time, have an Internet point Blocky: ✅

HONEY WAKE UP BLOCKYBLOXGUY POSTED A VIDEO!!!

I love this mans editing, I need to edit like that 😂

Please does anyone know how to do the windup punch because when looked at the command list for sonic or knuckles there's a specific button your supposed to press before the punch button. To do it as tails and bean are actually easier, bean has another version of the windup punch ecxpet now he has two, the first is the same except he windsup faster and the second one is more of a windup uppercut and the two have different names I've forgotten them

He's in love with rocket metal

I can't see this game without the arcade stand, and Chuck E. Cheese Pizza, because this is where I first played this there.

9:24 And then Game Apologists made a 14 minute video of a 3 second clip 😂

"Hurry up" is fire

He has returned when we needed him most.

I've always played this game on my gamecube! i still have it and the original sonic gems collection!

Funny and awesome editing

1:37 he is in the comic book The 30 th ANNIVERSARY

you're alive let's go

Where I can find this video on demonstration this abilities in 14:31 ?

I love your videos!!! Keep up the great work!!! 🔥🔥🔥
