Sonic the Fighters (GameCube) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

Ойындар

A playthrough of Sega's 1996 3D arcade versus-fighting game Sonic the Fighters. This recording is of the game as it appeared in the 2005 Nintendo GameCube compilation disc, Sonic Gems Collection.
Played as Sonic the Hedgehog on the normal difficulty level.
Sonic the Fighters (or Sonic Championship, as the original arcade game was called in the US and Europe) was the very first fully 3D Sonic game ever produced, pre-dating Sonic R by a fair margin. It was developed by the infamous Sega AM2 team and ran on the then-cutting edge Sega Model 2 arcade hardware, and was largely modelled after the core gameplay of Fighting Vipers.
Apparently Sega had planned a port for the Saturn, but later cancelled the project after deeming it too violent a portrayal of their family-friendly mascot.
The game plays a lot like Fighting Vipers and Virtua Fighter Kids, albeit in simplified form. You get your choice of eight characters from the 90s Sonic universe, though at the time, if you hadn't played Knuckles Chaotix for the 32X, you probably wouldn't have been familiar with the entire roster. If you've ever played Fighters Megamix, though, some of these guys should be familiar to you. You'll probably also recognize a few of them if you've been playing the new Sonic Forces game (which is excellent, btw, haters be damned).
Each character has a Chaos Emerald to collect, and upon getting all eight, you take on Metal Sonic and Dr. Robotnik (Eggman) to destroy the Death Egg II, which bears a striking resemblance to the Death Star (If someone had used it as a huge lollipop holder).
The graphics look great for a title from 1996. The cartoon style allowed for a lot of detail and expression in the characters, even if the rounded bodies do show evidence of the limited number of polygons being used to construct them (though those poly-counts were quite impressive for the time - the game is 21 years old now!), and the arenas show off some cool effects with real-time shadows and dynamic backgrounds. The sound is typical of a 90s fighter - it's loud, obnoxious, hyperactive, and intended to draw your attention. I gotta say, it does succeed on all of those counts. It's insanely catchy.
The gameplay is fun and fast, but it's a bit shallow compared to Sega's other fighting games at the time. The combo system is fairly limited, and though there are a ton of moves at your disposal, many of them are pretty redundant in their usefulness. There's definitely some strategy at play here, but there's a good reason why this never became a big exhibition-style tournament fighter. I enjoyed it for its goofiness and how easy it is to pick up and play, but it hasn't enough depth to really last long.
Sonic the Fighters is a pretty fun novelty, though, and the lack of any home port until the Sonic Gems Collection (and the later HD upscaled version on Xbox 360/PS3) means that it is one of the lesser known Sonic games out there, despite being the first 3D title in the series. If you like cutesy fighting games or Sonic I general, it's definitely worth a look!

    I remember playing this Game at the Hospital my Brother was in when he had Cancer, it was an Xbox 360 Kisosk with this Game on it and the first time I ever played it was when I was visiting my little Brother when he was fighting cancer, he or one of my Parents or the Nurses showed us the Kisosk and me and my Brother and Cousin Arielle went to play, we took turns and sometimes played locally and playing that game with him had to be the best nights I ever had with him during his fight with Cancer. I played as Sonic, he played as Knuckles, and on some occasions Arielle played as Amy or Fang, then when it was time to go, I said my goodbyes and left. That was the one and only time I played the Game… my Brother survived Cancer and we were all happy he survived, now looking back at that day, it really was the best day that helped me with what I was going through at the time. My Parents couldn’t often be Home when he was going through this pain and I often had to switch Houses with Uncles or my Grandma, I was scared at those times but being there for my Brother made me feel really special and lucky I had a Brother…

    I know I'm late by a few years, but to summarize my comment: The characters are programed to maintain a gaze at a point of interest. The point of interest was on the camera, which moved, making it look weird when one of his eyes hit its boundary and the one facing the camera kept following the point. Because it's not a bug, and the system works as intended, SEGA probably didn't feel an overwhelming need to change anything.

    I know I'm three years too late for the guy who wondered about this, so I'm just making it a full comment. This was about "Sonic's derpy eyes" when he wins. I think what's happening has to do with how they programmed each character's eyes. I noticed that Espio would always side-eye the camera before a match started, but would suddenly look at his opponent. I think they set it up so the gaze of the player character follows a point of interest. Before the match starts, it's the camera. During the match it's the opponent, and when the match ends it is the camera again (so they fully face the camera during their pose). Unfortunately the camera moves during the end screen, making the player character's eyes follow the point. Because you only see one side of the character at a time, it looks like their eye moves farther than it should from a forward facing view. When their gaze reaches its boundary, the character turns their head to follow the point of interest. You can see this happen with Sonic right here at 2:48- 2:53. Notice his eyes follow the point which is moving at a diagonal going up, and when they reach the top of his eye he raises his head and maintains his gaze at the point.

    If you ever want a model example of how to make a great spinoff, look no further. Everything about this game, from the gorgeous levels, the characteristically brilliant OST Sonic games are known for, and even the small touches like rings flying out when you get hit, looks so in-tune with the Sonic universe, it may as well be expanding the series' lore! The hate this game gets will never make sense to me, and I sincerely hope folks warm up to StF someday. Save for a few silly mechanics nobody really likes (really just the comeback system), this is an amazing game with fun, yet deceptively tight and fast-paced action that the devs put a lot of love into, courtesy of Sega AM2. It is absolutely CRIMINAL that I was not only unable to experience this gem in arcades during the 90s (lol limited releases), but iy has also not been ported to a modern console/PC in 2 generations! We need more Sonic the Fighters, dammit! And where's that modern sequel that'll throw Shadow, the rest of the Chaotix and Rouge into the mix?!?!

    I know I comment on just about all your videos but your descriptions are so good that they inspire me! lol But I see where they were going with it: Virtua Fighter meets Sonic. It's not a bad concept. Problem is, I own this on the Sonic Gems Collection too and the novelty wears off after awhile. I was never into Virtua Fighter anyway so maybe that's my problem. Or maybe the game is mediocre. I don't know. For some reason I want to play Skies of Arcadia now. I never beat that game.

    MFields2178 It's all good, I always like to hear people's thoughts. I do those descriptions in part to hopefully inspire some conversation :) I hear what you're saying here, too. I love VF (I really was into 2 and 4 for a long time), but this one really is a super-diet edition, and it gets old quickly. I still find it fun to play for fifteen minutes once in a while, but definitely not hours on end like I can still do with VF2 or VF4Evo. Skies of Arcadia was awesome though, I've played it on the DC. Do you know if the GC port is any different? I want to play it again, and the GC version is way cheaper iirc

    I didn't see much difference between the two but as far as differences go, I'm not sure. I never completed neither the DC or GC versions despite really liking the game. For the life of me I don't know why this particular RPG is the one I never beaten. Then again, I beat the Japanese version of FF9 and not the American one. Go figure. Hopefully somebody would know the differences between these two games because I'm curious to know myself.

    This game was pretty rare back in the day. Only some arcades had it, and one had to git gud to have the total satisfaction of beating it. Even years later, emulation wasn't widely available yet nor that great, and this collection was pretty much the best way to own an out of arcade copy.

Wait, I'm getting off track. So yeah, I'm one of those people who buys it from a physical copy. I hate digital.
