Ok
Very cool alpharad

Do sonic chronicles next :)
Is this you telling me to rewatch both of the streams Jacob?
"Our unfinished business....is finished..."
You literally had A THOUSAND YEARS to think of a one-liner, Lyric.
“A millenia of waiting, just to die in a mere second.”
-what Lyric should have said probably
let me take a crack at it
"I guess this time, *he* was too slow."
man couldve come up with a musical number and vocally trained himself for it
@@Jscon864 that’s an amazing one liner holy shit
not the sharpest tool in the shed
From now on everyone needs to refer to Knuckles’ jump glitch as “tax evasion” and only that
"You gotta take a pause and do some tax evasion..."
uh...
I agree, this is funny
My favorite sonic boom glitch, tax evasion
it is official, sonic said so
I’m pretty sure the glitch is called that in the speedrun community
“Look Ramps”
“We could use these as ramps”
Best line in the entire game
Same energy as "Hey! This wall tastes like dirt!" from the show
Best line ever
Fr
tRUTH
"Look, Gordon! Ropes!"
"He dodged my spin attack" No he did not, he blocked your spin attack, not dodged.
It’s actually a rather common misconception of the 2, so try to do it with tax evasion…
@@RealmsSMPStudios I didn't do tax evasion, I just ignored taxes.
Infinite jump, best dialogue, Knuckles is the real main character of this game
Unlike Sonic, he doesn't chuckle
It’s the funny comments guys
.
Wait I see you on four comment sections a day !!!
Stoo being a fan girl he wont collab with you
"Look ramps" "we can use these as ramps" is the prequal to "this wall tastes like dirt"
Look Gordon! Ropes!
The Floor is made out of Floor
@@piranhalettuce Damn beat me to it

"Let's go get those miners!"
"... that's not a good voice line Knuckles. "
Clearly, Alpharad has never heard the part of the show where Knuckles talks about beating up children.
Knuckles that’s prison

I was told Sonic Boom sonic is slowest Sonic
I was about to play Sonic Boom, but now I don’t have to. Thank you Alpharad

It's impressive how this game simultaneously manages to have almost no plot, while at the same time somehow having enough plot for a time paradox.
Blame sega for ruining any potential the game had
@@5frogfrenzy How does explain this time paradox!? That's such a blank statement to make here!
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 The story was originally different and had better lore until sega decided it they couldnt go with the original story. When the game is a certain way and half way through its decided it cant be that way you can only do so much to fix it without outright deleting weeks work of progress.
@@5frogfrenzy plus Sega told BRB that the game was going to be a Wii U exclusive when they were already months into development. The game was built on cryengine 3 which the Wii was to week to support. So BRB had to further scrap levels, game features and plot points.
@@5frogfrenzy what was the og plot?
Sonic saying that no one dodged his spin attack gives off insane "no one can deflect the emerald splash" energy
Its funny to think that eggman in another reality would be the ultimate evil just because he moves out of the way lol. Like not a single time, has eggman EVER learned to MOVE.
man, I miss kakyoin 😔
8:52 that laugh at tails is amazing.
Portal is still not calibrated it send us to the ic-
Eh
"He dodged my spin attack. No one has ever done that before"
"No one can just deflect the Emerald Splash".
Is this a jojo reference?
spin dash has no weaknesses
NO ONE CAN DEFLECT THE 20 METER EMERALD SPLASH
the best part is he didnt even dodge, he blocked
"No fighter has escaped thunder cross split attack"
I do think Sonic’s biggest weakness in this game is his cockiness. I feel like that’s what keeps him being a relatively average hedgehog, every time he does alright he acts like he’s invincible. He’s like the real life Pit: mid tier with an Icarus complex
😰😱↖️What A creepy exploring I got my friends.... Take a look 😱😱😱😱😱г
yeah! :)
Yeah
Ah yes, Sonic, the REAL LIFE Pit.
Definitely more real life
@@Cam-jl9kh Or Alpharad Deluxe, where the joke originated.
Styx is a main character in the show and appeared for a total of 17 frames in the video game this is awesome
To be fair, she’s a lot more present in Boom: Shattered Crystal on the 3DS.
Spelling her name like the river to the underworld instead of. Branches
Is very funny to me
22:28 There’s some deep irony in Knuckles swatting bugs
Because he’s big?
@@lukiwei9468 it’s because Knuckles is buggy…
he's trying to catch those miners
10:19 The most accurate description of this game is unironically the “I’m so confused” from knuckles.
I think it's more amusing that it doesn't "sound" like Knuckles, it's like they just, took the line when the voice actor was reading the script, paused, and just, thought out loud.
Or "I don't think we're supposed to be here"
Absolutely love how sonic unleashes a literal world destroying entity that can make the whole world corrupted and the only lines the grandpa has to say is, "not cool sonic"
"Wow you released a really super duper dangerous entity that can destroy the world? Not cool man"
I feel like they were going for a "haha funny joke... wait, you're serious" scene but much like everything else, they botched it something fierce.
@@Nirual86 and that is the sole reason sonic boom is an experience to say the least
what more do you want? its not cool
It was pretty funny, your expecting he grandpa to be mad or be really upset or somethin, but he just says "not cool" lol
Sonic himself calling knuckles flying as tax evasion was fucking hilarious
Hey guys, CRAZY IDEA. What if we used these RAMPS as RAMPS?
You absolute MAD LAD! How have I not thought of that before?
BRO HOW?
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen shadow the hedgehog round house kicked a main character in a hot garbage glitchy ass sonic game involving time travel, a time loop, in a boss fight cutscene, had a one time villain, and had a noise that made it funny I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
@@guessimlatetotheparty2923 oh thx
Sonic 06 may be horrible but at least Shadow was in character in that lol
It's normal when the writers are consistently bad
The devs got worse somehow, tho
U forgot Sonic Forces, 3 nickels for you 💁🏽♂️
@@Igorincrivel Sorry but the last time I checked sonic forces doesn’t have time travel
"Our unfinished business. Is finished."
The development team of Sonic Boom when they were asked if Sonic Boom was ready for release.
Kinda, except that it was Sega who said “this is good enough” not the devs
@@wolfdragox5563 Kinda, except it was more like:
SEGA: You have 1 year to finish the game. Oh, and it's now a Wii U exclusive.
BRB: Wait, what?
“Look, Ramps! We can use these as Ramps!” -the mindset of everybody that worked on sonic boom
The "We can use them as ramps!" Exchange actually sounds like one of those two lines was recorded as a stand in for that spot of dialogue until the writers came up with something more clever to use then, but either forgot or were just so incompetent that they straight up couldn't figure out something better
I think they recorded them individually with like a 50% chance of each appearing but due to spaghetti they both appear, creating c o m e d y
Sonic: *unleashes a great evil*
Everyone: “Cmon man, not cool”
Sonic: "Look, ramps."
Tails: "Maybe we could use these as ramps!"
You think we can use these as ramps?
And he's supposed to be the smart one
Hmm yes the Floor is made of Floor
"Look Gordon, a rope! We can use it to cross large pits!"
I don't know if you're supposed to use those as ramps
Difference between the Boom game and the Boom show, is that the show aged like fine wine and is amazing
And features knuckles giving commentary on feminism
Fr
approved
@@phantomnite Dang, forgot about that scene. Golden.
And a scathing criticism of the furry sonic fandom lol
I never knew you could use a ramp as a ramp. That’s very informative
The way gaming cycles work, in five years' time the kids who grew up with this game will suddenly become very active on the internet, and this game will be somehow retrofitted to be a "hidden gem" that "did many things right or something". Something very similar has already happened with Sonic 06. There's just something amazing about peoples' abilities to find the tiniest of silver linings in an absolute dumpster fire
There’s a game that is an actual hidden gem, sonic unleashed
@@Crxsseyed1 i really do hope that sonic boom gets the p-06 treatment in the future
@@Crxsseyed1just like sonic boom and soon sonic forces
Here's something that makes the game a hidden gem: Very expressive animation! Even if some of the designs or overall animation are controversial, the expressions are great!
The difference between this and 06 to be fair is that 06 was released on major consoles and Rise of Lyric was released on a console that only exists hypothetically
The fact the OFFICIAL SONIC THE HEDGEHOG TWITCH responded to Knuckles' WAR CRIMES with "this is tax evasion" has me in tears already, fucking AMAZING.
It was on UA-cam, not Twitch.
@@Chloe_Zana no?
@@trailsofstars I was literally there during the stream, I'm pretty sure I'm right. You can even see me be replied to in chat in this video. Unless there's some way for UA-cam streams and Twitch streams to be merged, it was definitely on UA-cam.

Hot take: I actually like the later seasons of the show. The suits were like: "y'know what? Fuck it. Do whatever", and the producers were like: "Okay! We will do whatever" and actually made funny shit.

Ok, but the ENTIRE game leading up to Sonic’s “death” occurred in ONE DAY
THEY TRAVELED BACK IN TIME 1000 YEARS, COLLECTED WHO KNOWS HOW MANY CRYSTALS, PLAYED TEMPLE RUN WITH METAL SONIC FOR 13 MINUTES AND PROBABLY OTHER THINGS WHO EVEN KNOWS ANYMORE
WITHIN TWENTY FOUR HOURS
Yeah, but they went back 1000 years which technically doesn't advance the 24 hours at all as long as they are back there.
Jojo ass plot
@@RhinoHorn7 Unless they went back 1,000 years, did their business, then went forward ONLY 1,000 years, and not forward 1,000 years + whatever time they spent there
more eventful than most of my days
I'm more confused at how the devs didn't think to use the time travel _they already established_ in some way to get Sonic back, by... I don't know, _time travelling_ or something?
Then again time paradoxes are annoying to work out.
Shadow kicking Tails in the face is my favorite part of the whole game lol
i think the funniest thing about this video is that, even after the official sonic account crashed the stream and told jacob he was evading taxes, they still gave him early access to sonic frontiers

Agree
In all honesty, it's a shame that the backlash for this game prevented a 3rd season for the TV show which of course was the greatest thing to come out of this spinoff franchise
Really? Shame, the show was actually good.
True
let's pour one out for Fire & Ice, the game that gave us season 2
Fire & Ice was pretty good
Why tho because the show was good af if they saw it was successful they shoulda kept going
7:40 Running on water IS actually possible if something is fast enough, but I don't think it's not as easy as video games and movies make it out to be. The common basilisk lizard has flat back feet and can get up to 15 MPH on water, and with those two combined to it's relative size, it can run across water for short periods of time. This has led to it sometimes being referred to as the "Jesus Christ Lizard."

Legit, Jacob admitting to having Sonic Boom Being Good as his second video made me more comfortable releasing content myself. I'd have never done a fun Zombie House Flip series if it wasn't for some creators like Alpharad showing off their old stuff or talking about it. One of my videos hit over 25k views and I wouldn't have done that without releasing it.

"He dodged my spindash, No one has done that before!"
Smash bros players: *yes.*

Basically what we see occur in the game is called a “Bootstrap Paradox” where an infinite time loop is caused through a piece of information where the information no longer has an origin since it’s going in a circle and is considered “self-created” at that point
I've always wondered if there was a name for it.

@@endergeek236 my 3rd favourite Doctor right behind Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.
This was probably the first game I played when I got my Wii U. The most memorable glitch that my sister and I found (aside from infinite jump knuckles) was if you were in the village area I guess and you went to a certain house, climbed on top of the roof, and jumped against the wall, the body would stretch out and look real wacky.
We normally played as Amy due to the double jump, so it looked rather weird.
I haven't been able to play it for a while because it just freeze, and I think I had the updated version.
Knuckles, despite being DRASTICALLY not Knuckles in his fundamental character design, is still the best character in Sonic Boom's entirety. He's consistently entertaining, more powerful than physics itself, and he can time travel independent of the half baked story going on in this game.
This is one of the games ever.
This is definitely one of the games of all time
This is indeed… a game
@@dragorethegreat1800 But just barely.
the most game ever
I have to disagree, it was one of the most games ever
The way a ring flies out of Sonic when Knuckles slaps him at 12:55 is great
Sonic got slapped too hard and died
Only good part of the game aside from tax evasion.
its actually goofy and cute to me so that so far is my favourite scene
im rewatching the video and only just now catching that the incredible "our unfinished business... is now finished" is in response to *sonic* saying "we have unfinished business" when he faces the snake man **in the past**

It's nice to know that Knuckles officially evades his taxes.
10:21 knuckles not only becomes the most powerful being in the game he then insults the game
24:36 This is actually way more ridiculous because- I learned this in another playthrough, but the game only checks for *Sonic's* crystals. Meaning you can bypass the entire final boss by glitching to the end of his path and breaking the pod there.
I'm pretty sure there's something similar in DK64, where there are 7 required keys but the game only checks for the last one because it assumes you've gotten all the others
This would, of course, work well if these games were well designed and not prone to thousands of bugs and glitches

this game is so tragic because it actually showed a lot of promise, until sonic team forced the devs to put it not only on the wii u (it was supposed to be on ps4 and xbox one) but they also rushed it out the door
they also made them rewrite the story multiple times because “you’re not allowed to write a sonic origin story” and then they had to make it more in line with the show
anyways, if you wanna see more i recommend watching splashdash’s video on it, it’s really telling of how badly sega treats its IP
and thats after they basically did the same mistakes themselves with Sonic 06 (except in that case they dropped the Wii version in favor of the other consoles, not the other way around).
@@Nirual86 I wouldn't call that the same mistake. They just cut an unsupported console out of the mix in favor of stronger ones. Sonic Boom meanwhile was apparently coming along very nicely, until they get told to port everything to the Wii U, which resulted in huge chunks of the game being cut and last hours spent on making an unsupported engine run on the Wii U rather than to polish the game.
This is more comparable to Mass Effect Andromeda, where the entire game was built on an engine that cannot handle RPG focused games. Hell, there's problems with it running FPS games, the games this engine it was made for. Unlike Sonic Boom, this choice was apparently 100% on the team and not the bigwigs.
Also to play Devil's Advocate here. Sega was not to blame for Sonic Boom, it's mainly on Nintendo. The contract stated Sega needed to release 3 games for their consoles. Sonic Boom got the shit end of the deal because of all their projects, this one was the closest one to completion and the deadline was ticking really close. Shit happens in game development, and Sonic Boom was there to save Sega from any legal nightmares.
@@kyotanaka920 that's not nintendos fault. it's still segas. If I borrow 50 bucks and need to pay you back and because of that, I need to sell something, that's not your fault. That's my own bad planning.

8:52 why did i laugh so hard
Fun fact: this game’s story is a complete trainwreck because Sega making up arbitrary rules for the game devs such as: sonic can’t touch water and tails & eggman must be the only inventors
No it isn't lol. If they can't write a plot around shit like that then they are just incompetent
@Charon the Toaster Well that makes a lot of sense. It's another level if they are making them change shit without giving them any time to essentially rewrite the story
@Charon the Toaster Because of Generations, the only way to make an origins story is to use the Classic forms and do all sorts of confusing workarounds, like they somehow find a way to show why Amy is traveling to Little Planet or her being from Little Planet (they'll probably make it MORE confusing)
The Game Grumps play through of this is legendary, but the fact Sonic inadvertently named the Knuckles fly glitch “tax evasion” and the similar pointing out of its brokenness makes it just as good.
Plus this is just way more condensed.
8:31
"Mayos Gemerald"
The moment of this game that sums up the entire game pretty well is that, in order to get the popup that explains how to move (left stick) is AFTER the first combat sequence, and you have to specifically MOVE forward to the next room to trigger it.
It only tells you how to move once you’ve learned how to move.
It's such a shame, this game had a lot of potential, but SEGA screwed the devs so frickin' hard
atleast the cartoon was boomin (no pun intended) it was actually funny. the gumball of sonic
Really? It looks like the glitches are the only thing interesting about it, I don't see much potential here
The handheld Boom games were pretty decent.
This video unironically inspired me. I think it could be fun to make a game where the controls/physics is specifically unintuitive or changes between levels with the point of the game being to figure out how to abuse the controls
Stuff like this is actually really hard to create on purpose. Though there are certainly some indie games that kinda play with the idea of breaking out of the initially presented gameplay premise (Pony Island comes to mind), nevermind those moments in gaming history where a glitch turned into a whole new gameplay mechanic like rocket jumping.
The problem with this concept is that most movement techs in games are either discovered completely by accident or through an understanding of the game's coding, both of which are unsatisfying and frustrating ways to introduce puzzle mechanics
It exists. It's called Getting Over It
Touhou 17.5 Gouyoku Ibun is sort of like this. Kind of like a fighting game, where you play through a quick story as one character and then unlock another character who plays basically completely differently, and you end up having to relearn how to use each new character each time. One will be able to fly and spam invincibility projectiles from the sky, and then the next is a grappling melee character, etc.
Baba Is You is like this, but a puzzle game
