Blaze in my opinion is a S tier, but the fact that Sega didn't give her any proper mainstream games kinda reduces her character to a A or B tier. I feel her story wasn't fleshed out much. We don't know much about Blaze's world, the origins of the Sol Emeralds or nothing. Which pisses me off because Sega could have fleshed these ideas out. But completely kicked her to the curve. Rouge is a B to C character. Outside of SA2, Heroes, Battle, Shadow 05 and Sonic 06. She hasn't been a main character for a very long time. Her 2000's era was her shining point. But they did her dirty and neglected her in the 2010s. Sega can be blamed for that. I feel Sega took better care of their characters from 1998 - 2006. But started ditching them after that. Cosmo was a good character in my opinion. But if I were Sega, I would have made Cosmo more of a badass who can hold her own. Giving her the power to manipulate plants for fighting and for healing. I feel they misused her character. She had a good design and her sacrifice was shocking. Too bad they only restricted her to a cartoon. Just imagine a Tails solo game where Cosmo returns back. That would be sick. I disagree with your ranking of Classic Sonic. He deserves to be S tier. He's the reason why we have Sonic games till his day! Sonic 1, 2, 3, CD etc. Without the classic verison, there wouldn't be no modern. But he shouldn't be a separate character, he's the same Sonic.
Agree. I like him, besides in his original backstory its said that he is the first bee to brake the sound barrier while flying, ever. Thats a cool feat if you ask me.
Have no idea if anyone has said this before, but I think Elise' story should've been Blaze's story. It makes much more sense considering she's a fucking princess and literally has SOL EMERALDS under her guardianship. What the fuck was Sega thinking by bringing a random human?????
I had that same idea for over a decade. It literally makes sense!! Yes! If Sonic Rush extended or even moved to a bigger platform for the 360 and PS3. Blaze should have been the Princess of Soleanna. Soleanna should have been the named of Blaze's Kingdom. She did called her powers a "curse". Which makes sense. Because that curse should have been "Iblis" Blaze's story can be a fusion of Rush, 06 and Sonic Adventure. Solaris being the original guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Maybe introduce Chao like creatures called the Sola. If Blaze can't control her powers and she lets the negative energy of the Sol Emeralds corrupt her. The negative side of Solaris named Iblis will turn her into a dark looking cat, filled with anger and despair. Similar to Blaze's original concept art where she's all black. Maybe Elise can be a ancient Feline guardian of the Sol Emeralds, similar to Tikal. Or maybe Elise could have been Blaze's best friend who was killed from the accident of the Solaris Project. Which Blaze still holds guilt and torment till this day. In Rush, they stated Blaze was bullied when she was a child because of her powers. That's a nice little touch because it reminds me of Tails' backstory. Blaze's design is based off South Asian culture, with the bindi on her forehead. Maybe perhaps renaming Elise after a Hindu or Nepal Buddhist temple. Like how Tikal is named after a ruin temple in Guatemala. Blaze wants to uncover the mystery of her Feline ancestors, similar to Knuckles and the echidnas. So, kinda like this... Chaos = Solaris Chaos Emeralds = Sol Emeralds Chao = Sola Tikal = Elise Mystic Ruins = Ancient Ruins of Soleanna Station Square = City part of Soleanna Lost World = Kingdom Valley The Chaos Emeralds allows the user to use Chaos Control which can manipulate time. The Sol Emeralds should allow the user to use Solaris Control which can manipulate space. Both together creates time-space manipulation. Sonic Rush and Sonic 2006's opening stories can be cropped together. It would be interesting for thousands of years, the Chao and Sola have been in contacted with one another in the astral world. I can see Knuckles and Blaze having a conversation together about this. Idk, there's so many ideas to this. I'm actually writing and creating a Sonic comic web series that'll a retelling and reboot of the Sonic games from 2002 to 2006. I'm basically recreating the events from Sonic Advance 2 to Sonic Rush. Giving the stories a fresh new take. Seriously, this will really help flesh her character out into the fullest.
Mephiles is a S+ (He's a great villain/antagonist cause of how he manipulated the people around him the reason he's like that because he was sealed by shadow for 10 years alone the thing is with Mephiles is he's evil cause he enjoys he could kill anyone in 06 due to his time traveling abilities tho its boring for him so he just plays with people's heads especially shadow due to shadow being the one who sealed him he wanted revenge for all those years after being sealed. He lied, manipulated and tried to break shadow by trying to remind him of how much the world hates him for being what he was... in a sense Mephiles tried to remind shadow he had no place in the world or no belonging... tho mephiles didn't a count to Rouge.. so yeah she reminded him ..he had a place where he belonged... Mephiles in contrast isn't like that but more an opposite to shadow due to him being sealed away as soon as he was born causing him to develop those negative emotions and feelings towards everyone cause of shadow... Mephiles had no ..he's motives was to merge with Ebliss to become Solaris so that he can earse time.. in a sense he won from the moment he became Solars after killing sonic... Also Mephiles... had accomplished his goals and motives unlike other sonic characters (except infinite) and he actually killed sonic... there's so much to Mephiles ..he's not an edgy villain he's a well written villain (he's name literally means the devil) Mephiles is a strong yet interesting contrast to shadow cause he literally became shadow's shadow but figuratively and literally... Like a corrupted version of shadow in his crystalized form... IDW comics Blaze and Silver Gave them more of a character and made em better. i put em in S cause designs, characters, backstories, etc.... Zavok gets an B i kinda didn't even care he existed until IDW Since you Mentioned IDW Metal Sonic is an S+
Mephiles also spends of the game messing with shadow instead of accomplishing his goal Realistically all he has to do is time travel to when iblis is released and merge with him He did not have to try and get silver to kill sonic because all that did was aloe shadow and silver to meet which then lead to silver figuring out how to stop iblis He clearly doesn’t care if shadow joins him or not because the first thing he does is send him into the future and then asks shadow if he wants to join him because shadow got crucified, shadow disagrees and then mephiles fights him and then runs away After that he messes with omega for a bit then waits in the desert for shadow to change his mind, he doesn’t they fight mephiles fake dies and then actually kills sonic to get Elise to cry to merge with Iblis which he could’ve done at any point if he had just travelled to when Iblis was initially released and merged with him there So no most of the game is just mephiles wasting time which is completely unacceptable for a character with the ability to travel through time He just comes off as incompetent to me, I honestly think B tier is more than fair for him because he still does cool things and has a great design and voice performance Honestly the real crime here is zavok in D because unlike mephiles he actually is very competent He bides his time waiting for an opening to overthrow eggman and then uses eggman’s machine to make him and his family ultra powerful and at the same time destroy eggman’s world He only lost because tails broke the laws of physics and grabbed a sandwich pick with his tail hair allowing himself to be free and thus cause the zeti to scatter which allowed sonic to pick them off one at a time
I would personally put Silver in S tier cause he was a great character and is so over hated. I never had a problem with his voice like others did and also he has a great design, cool abilities and other great traits to him.
Rouge and Maria being A and B respectfully for what they are as side characters to the common protagonists makes sense, and honestly is more accurate than an S would be
Exactly! I feel like S tier belongs to characters who had a great backstory, plot, characterization and impact on the overall game. Maria and Rouge were more impactful to Shadow than the actual game or the other Sonic characters. So them being a A or B makes sense.
6:19" It's hard to dislike Big" Well that is unusual I usually have to defend Big because people hate on him to much. I think you rank a lot of characters high so far.
@@rickyronny401906 is definitely the best depiction of most of the characters tbh. However, when ranking Shadow do you just ignore Shadow The Hedgehog & Sonic Boom? I personally don’t which is why I’d put him at a B tier.
Yes Thank you for putting Tails in the S tier rank.💛 🙏 He's such a great character and it's sad how much damged they did to Tails because nowdays fans would see him a coward and a sidekick than a hero. Which that was basically his arc in the Sonic Adventure games where Tails can be a hero and fight for himself. Where im Sonic Adventure Tails had to step out of Sonic shadow and find his way and to things byhimself and believe in himself. 💛 That is what I like about Tails and it funny how he's refered to a coward nowdays because back then Tails would have this scense of standing up to bad guys and would defend himself and protect his friends like he stood up against Eggman and Shadow.. I think a lot of fans forget that Tails has a braver side to him and even when he is a still a kid he would stand his ground and fight any kind of threat that threatens his friends or family. Also if don't Tails story basically it is said that before he met Sonic he lived alone in Weside island and was pretty much bullied from the people on the island for his two tails and for his for being a Smart and they are the ones that gave him him the name "Tails" (not Sonic) so in other words Tails was bullied for being different. When Sonic came in to his life he was the one who inspired Tails to use his difference and to use like a strength. 💪 His theme song " Believe in myself " talks about his growth throughout the games from where he started and where he want to go from here and how to move forward with his life. There a part in the lyrics where it says " if I just follow you I will never see the light." Means that Tails has always been following Sonic to reach to his potential but he can't just follow Sonic forever because if he does he'll never see his own potential. Fom here Tails has to find a way to step out of Sonic's shadow and look for his own path. The path where he can reach his potential. To believe in his potential he has to learn to believe in himself. 💛
Tails peaked in 1998 to 2006. He was treated as Sonic's equal at that point. Everyone would've been screwed if it wasn't for Tails during SA1 and SA2. Even in Sonic Heroes, Tails was important because of his flight abilities. Also, he was the first character to get a girlfriend, Cosmo. If you count Sonic X.
I feel like it’s unfair to rank mighty and ray in B just because they are classic sonic characters, they have a lot of moments in the comics. No lower than A for me
I don’t really hate fang per se. At least I wouldn’t if he didn’t have that horrid boss at the end of trip’s story. So because of that addition he’s not only going down to being my second least favorite villain in sonic history but he’s also being OFFICIALLY demoted from fang the wesell to fang the dirty freaking rat. People think “um actually fang was originally supposed to be a great character in sonic history” I DON’T CARE!!!
Warning: Lots of Text. 13:30-13:47 English: Well, it turns out that Vanilla is a character who wasn't made to be a hero, she was just made to be a normal citizen of Morbius and to add depth to Cream. Vanilla as a character is adorable, she is calm, peaceful, kind, cute and is a great mother to Cream, that's her personality. As a mother, Vanilla is very dubious but when you know all the details of this character, you realize that she is an excellent mother because she raised Cream to make her daughter well-behaved; has a very cute and adorable parental love relationship with his daughter Cream; take care of your daughter; and protect Cream in the IDW comics. Vanilla's main problem is that she was largely unused in games and cartoons as a character, which meant she had less development. At least she's had a good time in the IDW comics so far, but they added more personality to Vanilla, letting her be relatively protective of Cream and being an angry character at times, I don't like when they let Vanilla be angry several times because I like her to be calm, kind and peaceful, but it's worth letting her be nervous in a FEW MOMENTS so she can be a little different from Cream. Vanilla also has an excellent romantic relationship with Vector in Sonic X and a little in the comics. I like Vanilla, she's beautiful because of her design and I love her personality and the parental relationship she has with her daughter Cream, but I don't like that they treat her like Nicole Watterson 2.0. Vanilla is like Toriel 2.0 from the 2000s. The American dub of Vanilla in Sonic X is a GARBAGE, as it doesn't match the character and is very sharp. This might make people hate Vanilla for this stupid reason. Here in Brazil, Vanilla is voiced in Sonic X by a voice actress called Christiane Monteiro and the Brazilian dubbing of the character is wonderful, cute and matches Vanilla; this is another reason why I like Vanilla. I understand your opinion about Vanilla and I respect your opinion, even if I disagree with your opinion. Brazilian Portuguese: Bem, acontece que a Vanilla é uma personagem que não foi feita para ser uma heroína, ela só foi feita para ser uma cidadã normal de Morbius e para adicionar profundidade à Cream. Vanilla como personagem é adorável, ela é calma, tranquila, gentil, fofinha e é uma ótima mãe para a Cream, essa é a personalidade dela. Como uma mãe, a Vanilla é bem duvidosa mas quando você sabe de todos os detalhes dessa personagem, você percebe que ela é uma excelente mãe porque ela educou a Cream para tornar a sua filha bem comportada; tem uma relação de amor parental muito fofa e adorável com a sua filha Cream; tomar conta da sua filha; e proteger a Cream nas HQs da IDW. O principal problema da Vanilla é que ela foi muito desaproveitada nos jogos e desenhos como uma personagem, isso fez com ela tivesse menos desenvolvimento. Pelo menos ela esteve tendo até agora um aproveitamento nas HQs da IDW, mas adicionaram mais personalidade a Vanilla, deixando ela ser relativamente protetora com a Cream e sendo uma personagem irritada em alguns momentos, eu não gosto de quando deixam a Vanilla ser raivosa várias vezes pois eu gosto dela ser calma, gentil e tranquila, mas vale a pena deixá-la ser nervosa em POUCOS MOMENTOS para ela ser um pouco diferente da Cream. Vanilla também tem uma relacionamento amoroso excelente com o Vector no Sonic X e um pouco nas HQs. Eu gosto da Vanilla, ela é linda pelo seu design e adoro sua personalidade e relação parental que ela tem com a sua filha Cream, mas não gosto que tratam ela como uma Nicole Watterson 2.0. Vanilla é como se fosse a Toriel 2.0 dos anos 2000. A dublagem estadunidense da Vanilla no Sonic X é um LIXO, pois não combina com a personagem e é muito aguda. Isso pode fazer as pessoas odiarem a Vanilla por esse motivo estúpido. Aqui no Brasil, a Vanilla é dublada no Sonic X por uma dubladora chamada de Christiane Monteiro e a dublagem brasileira da personagem é maravilhosa, fofa e combina com a Vanilla; isso é mais um dos motivos do pelo qual eu gosto da Vanilla. Eu entendo a sua opinião sobre a Vanilla e eu respeito a sua opinião, mesmo que eu discorde da sua opinião. I'm from Brazil.
Silver is wonderful, and you can probably see his full potential and sweetness in the comics. IDW probably has the most definitive version of Silver, though I do also really like Silver in the OG Archie comics (he first shows in issue 194 or something though) because it shows his more ruthless and OP side. And Sally is… uhh, let's just say she has the most controversy in Archie considering how wildly inconsistent she is and how she literally gets reduced to a damsel in distress before Ian Flynn takes over the Archie series at issue 160. So, be warned: You'll probably hate her for quite a while before you start liking her. She is best in the rebooted Archie Sonic which starts at issue 252.
If we didn’t have to put with his awful characterisation in his solo game and the meta era Shadow would be easy top of S tier for me just for his portrayal’s in SA2, Heroes, 06 and Shadow Generations alone
Everyone is talking about Charmy,but is anyone gonna talk about Zavok an the ohter Zeti? Personally,I really like them and I feel that they get too much hate. Although,I'll still put them in B or C tier,because they don't really seem threatening,but that's what makes me like them...
To me zavok while not looking the coolest is one of the best written sonic villains His motives are clear and understandable, he does cool things and most importantly he almost won Only problem is after lost world he really stopped having a reason to be in the games but oh well I’m just happy he’s here even if they turned him into a generic lackey As for the others Zik is a good character who seems to love his family and likes to participate not letting his age slow him down Zeena is a very funny character who is very self absorbed and lazy Zor is funny in a meta sort of way with how relatable what he says is Zoomom…..yeah not much to defend there just gluttony And zazz is a very fun character wanting to fight all the time Also here’s something not enough people bring up All the villains in sonic lost world represent a deadly sin which is probably why they are called the deadly six Zavok: envy (envious of sonic’s abilities) Zik: pride (acts like he knows more about fighting then sonic) Zeena: lust (self absorbed thinks sonic is attracted to her) Zor: sloth (always depressed and complaining Zoomom: gluttony (he is always seen eating giant food) Zazz: wrath (he is always yelling and ready to fight) Eggman: greed ( even after sonic stopped the zeti he still wanted to kill him
9:02 while accurate that after 06 Shadow's character was assassinated, who wasn't? Amy got slightly better but barely used. Sonic became a different character after unleashed and especially Generations. Tails had many character breaking moments. Knuckles became useless after the adventure games. Eggman and Metal became a Joke. Silver had a rough start. Shadow became the literal Edgelord villain as opposed to antihero. Team Chaotix, Silver, Blaze, Rouge were underutilized. 2007 skipping Generations-pre Sonic Frontiers. Everyone was broken. Luckily Ian Flynn to the rescue. Sonic franchise seems to be making it's comeback
Dude you can’t just gloss over the Babylon Rogues because you don’t remember much from Sonic Riders. If you gonna make a tier list on the actual characterization on them go back and watch the cutscenes or something? It’s very disingenuous to lump them together refusing to go back and have a fresh take on them all.
the babylon rogues have more story in the comics now...after the sonic riders story finished they started doing a spin off comic...all i know is Predator Hawk from the comics joined the BR but i don't know much else.
Man, no Mecha Sonic??? I always liked him more than Metal, and up until SA2, felt he had a bigger presence in the games than Metal, since Mecha appeared in the main line genesis games while, I actually had no idea who Metal was until I saw him in Sonic Adventure, because I never had a Sega CD or 32x.
I'm not a super fan of knuckles but FUCK I love his character and hate how he's been shafted ever since the 00s. God I'm interested in Frontiers now if they've really broken the decay of his character, fuck yeah!
I would move Gamma down to A teir, put Omgea in S teir, put Espio in A teir, Charmmy is A teir, Cream is A teir, Black Doom in B teir, Wave B teir, Jet in A teir, Silver is S teir, Elise in C teir, Mephilis S teir, Chip is C teir, Classic Sonic D teir, Zovok F teir, Mighty and Ray C teir, Infante S teir, Sally is D teir, Chris is F teir, but the rest I keep the same. Also, I think the different versions of Sonic (aside from Classic Sonic) should not have been on the list since it's just Sonic with a different coat of paint. Neo Metal Sonic should have been on the list, since it's quite different and much better than Metal Sonic.
i should point out immediatley the Nintendo stated that it is a FACT that Sonic, Shadow and Silver are 100% equal...so if you don't put them all as S tier...you are seriously bias...they were designed to be equal...the olny thing sonic can do that that shadow and silver can;t is go hyper but of course that is purely because the hyper form doesn't really exist in the new age sonic stuff. all three of them have a unstoppable ability in super form: Sonic = Arrow of Light / Shadow = Spear of Light / Silver = Shield of Light. it was also stated that even though Scourge is a comic character only...he is also equal to Sonic, Shadow and Silver...because the whole point is that he is a EXACT clone of Sonic...only evil. LOL if Tails is S tier than Silver is definitley S tier...i mean yeah Tails is smart and when doing teamwork stuff with sonic he was awesome...but i would probably put him one tier below S personally.
this is not to be mean but Rouge should be B just cause her life is as more secretive then Shadow, so unless there's an explanation, she's just there to be annoying and harsh and just a hazard. And with no reason, a part time team sonic member.
If you ranked black doom or Maria and Elise then you should had added Sha'ra, Erazor Djinn, Merlina the wizard (the only female final boss in sonic), also forgot about Shade the echidna, Ix, Scyla, Charib, Lumina, Void, Ilumina, Heavy, Bomb, Mecha Sonic, Mecha Knuckles, Tails doll, Eggrobo, the hardboiled heavys, Bark, Bean and most of the Freedom fighters...
LOL gamma is not an S...Omega is...i would put Gamma in A tier...i mean the whole point of Omega is that he is the robot that stops Shadow...Gamma never had any such plot twist...he was just a fiarly impressive E-Series. Blaze got her best moments in Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure...great gameplay, great bosses and the interaction with Sonic and Blaze really shows off how tough each of them are...it's the one time you really see that Blaze can hold her own agaisnt Sonic.

Great vid. I pretty much agree with your character ranking.
ill be honest the charmy ranking was stingy to watch. I personally love the little dude, its sad seeing everybody dump on him so often.
I agree, I don't find Charmy annoying in the slightest, and he is very important to Team Chaotix's dynamic.
I Completely Agree! in terms of Sonic Characters he's my 4th favorite behind Tails, Knuckles and Sonic!
i want to beat up charmy
Agree. I like him, besides in his original backstory its said that he is the first bee to brake the sound barrier while flying, ever. Thats a cool feat if you ask me.
He doesn’t amount to shit
saying sorry to charmy fans is like apologizing to a brick wall. (jk lol)
Omega should be A or S because of the IDW comics (which are canon now)
Have no idea if anyone has said this before, but I think Elise' story should've been Blaze's story. It makes much more sense considering she's a fucking princess and literally has SOL EMERALDS under her guardianship. What the fuck was Sega thinking by bringing a random human?????
I had that same idea for over a decade. It literally makes sense!!
Yes! If Sonic Rush extended or even moved to a bigger platform for the 360 and PS3.
Blaze should have been the Princess of Soleanna.
Soleanna should have been the named of Blaze's Kingdom.
She did called her powers a "curse".
Which makes sense. Because that curse should have been "Iblis"
Blaze's story can be a fusion of Rush, 06 and Sonic Adventure.
Solaris being the original guardian of the Sol Emeralds.
Maybe introduce Chao like creatures called the Sola.
If Blaze can't control her powers and she lets the negative energy of the Sol Emeralds corrupt her.
The negative side of Solaris named Iblis will turn her into a dark looking cat, filled with anger and despair.
Similar to Blaze's original concept art where she's all black.
Maybe Elise can be a ancient Feline guardian of the Sol Emeralds, similar to Tikal.
Or maybe Elise could have been Blaze's best friend who was killed from the accident of the Solaris Project.
Which Blaze still holds guilt and torment till this day.
In Rush, they stated Blaze was bullied when she was a child because of her powers.
That's a nice little touch because it reminds me of Tails' backstory.
Blaze's design is based off South Asian culture, with the bindi on her forehead.
Maybe perhaps renaming Elise after a Hindu or Nepal Buddhist temple.
Like how Tikal is named after a ruin temple in Guatemala.
Blaze wants to uncover the mystery of her Feline ancestors, similar to Knuckles and the echidnas.
So, kinda like this...
Chaos = Solaris
Chaos Emeralds = Sol Emeralds
Chao = Sola
Tikal = Elise
Mystic Ruins = Ancient Ruins of Soleanna
Station Square = City part of Soleanna
Lost World = Kingdom Valley
The Chaos Emeralds allows the user to use Chaos Control which can manipulate time.
The Sol Emeralds should allow the user to use Solaris Control which can manipulate space.
Both together creates time-space manipulation.
Sonic Rush and Sonic 2006's opening stories can be cropped together.
It would be interesting for thousands of years, the Chao and Sola have been in contacted with one another in the astral world.
I can see Knuckles and Blaze having a conversation together about this. Idk, there's so many ideas to this.

He clearly doesn’t care if shadow joins him or not because the first thing he does is send him into the future and then asks shadow if he wants to join him because shadow got crucified, shadow disagrees and then mephiles fights him and then runs away
After that he messes with omega for a bit then waits in the desert for shadow to change his mind, he doesn’t they fight mephiles fake dies and then actually kills sonic to get Elise to cry to merge with Iblis which he could’ve done at any point if he had just travelled to when Iblis was initially released and merged with him there
So no most of the game is just mephiles wasting time which is completely unacceptable for a character with the ability to travel through time
He just comes off as incompetent to me, I honestly think B tier is more than fair for him because he still does cool things and has a great design and voice performance
Honestly the real crime here is zavok in D because unlike mephiles he actually is very competent
He bides his time waiting for an opening to overthrow eggman and then uses eggman’s machine to make him and his family ultra powerful and at the same time destroy eggman’s world
He only lost because tails broke the laws of physics and grabbed a sandwich pick with his tail hair allowing himself to be free and thus cause the zeti to scatter which allowed sonic to pick them off one at a time
Looks like Mephilis got his hands on two yt accounts
The wolf sonic in A has got to be a nuclear level of glazing
Werehog Sonic*
Wolf Sonic is cool, he made Unleashed more fun, and idc if ppl disagree
@@rickyronny4019 Werehog Sonic*
Yearly sonic phase goes crazy
I would personally put Silver in S tier cause he was a great character and is so over hated. I never had a problem with his voice like others did and also he has a great design, cool abilities and other great traits to him.
He’s not over hated.
Knuckles is also quick to trust, however dishonesty rages when it comes to light.
Mephiles was an absolutely brilliant villain. Your list was perfect until his placement
Coool video but where's Bunnie Rabbot and Lanolin the Sheep
Rouge and Maria being A and B respectfully for what they are as side characters to the common protagonists makes sense, and honestly is more accurate than an S would be
Exactly! I feel like S tier belongs to characters who had a great backstory, plot, characterization and impact on the overall game. Maria and Rouge were more impactful to Shadow than the actual game or the other Sonic characters. So them being a A or B makes sense.
6:19" It's hard to dislike Big"
Well that is unusual I usually have to defend Big because people hate on him to much.
I think you rank a lot of characters high so far.
Vector needs to be higher
I’ve just started the video now and if I don’t see shadow in S tier.. imma start a war
8:58 ahem... 2025 is here and Shadow is PEAK again
Shadow being different from SA2 Shadow is the point of his arc. Why is that a de-merit?
probably because in "continuing his arc" he's become shallower into some mean guy who's upset in the presence of his friends
@@bats2038SA2 fanboys have the worst takes imaginable. 06 was one of his best character portrayals not SA2
@@rickyronny401906 is definitely the best depiction of most of the characters tbh. However, when ranking Shadow do you just ignore Shadow The Hedgehog & Sonic Boom? I personally don’t which is why I’d put him at a B tier.
SA2 is the best Sonic game.
Ah yes, black doom and infinte in the same tier as none other than... Chris Throndyke.
I'm glad to say that after the Year of Shadow, yes he's absolutely an S tier character.
Wish he would saw shadow generations before this
Yes Thank you for putting Tails in the S tier rank.💛 🙏
He's such a great character and it's sad how much damged they did to Tails because nowdays fans would see him a coward and a sidekick than a hero. Which that was basically his arc in the Sonic Adventure games where Tails can be a hero and fight for himself. Where im Sonic Adventure Tails had to step out of Sonic shadow and find his way and to things byhimself and believe in himself. 💛
That is what I like about Tails and it funny how he's refered to a coward nowdays because back then Tails would have this scense of standing up to bad guys and would defend himself and protect his friends like he stood up against Eggman and Shadow..
I think a lot of fans forget that Tails has a braver side to him and even when he is a still a kid he would stand his ground and fight any kind of threat that threatens his friends or family. Also if don't Tails story basically it is said that before he met Sonic he lived alone in Weside island and was pretty much bullied from the people on the island for his two tails and for his for being a Smart and they are the ones that gave him him the name "Tails"
(not Sonic) so in other words Tails was bullied for being different. When Sonic came in to his life he was the one who inspired Tails to use his difference and to use like a strength. 💪
His theme song " Believe in myself " talks about his growth throughout the games from where he started and where he want to go from here and how to move forward with his life. There a part in the lyrics where it says
" if I just follow you I will never see the light." Means that Tails has always been following Sonic to reach to his potential but he can't just follow Sonic forever because if he does he'll never see his own potential. Fom here Tails has to find a way to step out of Sonic's shadow and look for his own path. The path where he can reach his potential.
To believe in his potential he has to learn to believe in himself. 💛
Tails peaked in 1998 to 2006.
He was treated as Sonic's equal at that point.
Everyone would've been screwed if it wasn't for Tails during SA1 and SA2.
Even in Sonic Heroes, Tails was important because of his flight abilities.
Also, he was the first character to get a girlfriend, Cosmo. If you count Sonic X.
I feel like it’s unfair to rank mighty and ray in B just because they are classic sonic characters, they have a lot of moments in the comics. No lower than A for me
I don’t really hate fang per se. At least I wouldn’t if he didn’t have that horrid boss at the end of trip’s story. So because of that addition he’s not only going down to being my second least favorite villain in sonic history but he’s also being OFFICIALLY demoted from fang the wesell to fang the dirty freaking rat. People think “um actually fang was originally supposed to be a great character in sonic history” I DON’T CARE!!!
I’d put Mighty in S tier and Ray in A tier.
Manic and Sonia you'll always have a place in my heart
Poor Charmy 😢
Warning: Lots of Text.
13:30-13:47 English: Well, it turns out that Vanilla is a character who wasn't made to be a hero, she was just made to be a normal citizen of Morbius and to add depth to Cream. Vanilla as a character is adorable, she is calm, peaceful, kind, cute and is a great mother to Cream, that's her personality. As a mother, Vanilla is very dubious but when you know all the details of this character, you realize that she is an excellent mother because she raised Cream to make her daughter well-behaved; has a very cute and adorable parental love relationship with his daughter Cream; take care of your daughter; and protect Cream in the IDW comics. Vanilla's main problem is that she was largely unused in games and cartoons as a character, which meant she had less development. At least she's had a good time in the IDW comics so far, but they added more personality to Vanilla, letting her be relatively protective of Cream and being an angry character at times, I don't like when they let Vanilla be angry several times because I like her to be calm, kind and peaceful, but it's worth letting her be nervous in a FEW MOMENTS so she can be a little different from Cream. Vanilla also has an excellent romantic relationship with Vector in Sonic X and a little in the comics.
I like Vanilla, she's beautiful because of her design and I love her personality and the parental relationship she has with her daughter Cream, but I don't like that they treat her like Nicole Watterson 2.0. Vanilla is like Toriel 2.0 from the 2000s. The American dub of Vanilla in Sonic X is a GARBAGE, as it doesn't match the character and is very sharp. This might make people hate Vanilla for this stupid reason. Here in Brazil, Vanilla is voiced in Sonic X by a voice actress called Christiane Monteiro and the Brazilian dubbing of the character is wonderful, cute and matches Vanilla; this is another reason why I like Vanilla.
I understand your opinion about Vanilla and I respect your opinion, even if I disagree with your opinion.
Brazilian Portuguese: Bem, acontece que a Vanilla é uma personagem que não foi feita para ser uma heroína, ela só foi feita para ser uma cidadã normal de Morbius e para adicionar profundidade à Cream. Vanilla como personagem é adorável, ela é calma, tranquila, gentil, fofinha e é uma ótima mãe para a Cream, essa é a personalidade dela. Como uma mãe, a Vanilla é bem duvidosa mas quando você sabe de todos os detalhes dessa personagem, você percebe que ela é uma excelente mãe porque ela educou a Cream para tornar a sua filha bem comportada; tem uma relação de amor parental muito fofa e adorável com a sua filha Cream; tomar conta da sua filha; e proteger a Cream nas HQs da IDW. O principal problema da Vanilla é que ela foi muito desaproveitada nos jogos e desenhos como uma personagem, isso fez com ela tivesse menos desenvolvimento. Pelo menos ela esteve tendo até agora um aproveitamento nas HQs da IDW, mas adicionaram mais personalidade a Vanilla, deixando ela ser relativamente protetora com a Cream e sendo uma personagem irritada em alguns momentos, eu não gosto de quando deixam a Vanilla ser raivosa várias vezes pois eu gosto dela ser calma, gentil e tranquila, mas vale a pena deixá-la ser nervosa em POUCOS MOMENTOS para ela ser um pouco diferente da Cream. Vanilla também tem uma relacionamento amoroso excelente com o Vector no Sonic X e um pouco nas HQs.
Eu gosto da Vanilla, ela é linda pelo seu design e adoro sua personalidade e relação parental que ela tem com a sua filha Cream, mas não gosto que tratam ela como uma Nicole Watterson 2.0. Vanilla é como se fosse a Toriel 2.0 dos anos 2000. A dublagem estadunidense da Vanilla no Sonic X é um LIXO, pois não combina com a personagem e é muito aguda. Isso pode fazer as pessoas odiarem a Vanilla por esse motivo estúpido. Aqui no Brasil, a Vanilla é dublada no Sonic X por uma dubladora chamada de Christiane Monteiro e a dublagem brasileira da personagem é maravilhosa, fofa e combina com a Vanilla; isso é mais um dos motivos do pelo qual eu gosto da Vanilla.
Eu entendo a sua opinião sobre a Vanilla e eu respeito a sua opinião, mesmo que eu discorde da sua opinião.
I'm from Brazil.
Well, Shadow is back to being Shadow, at least for now
Classic Sonic is literally Sonic.
Silver is wonderful, and you can probably see his full potential and sweetness in the comics. IDW probably has the most definitive version of Silver, though I do also really like Silver in the OG Archie comics (he first shows in issue 194 or something though) because it shows his more ruthless and OP side.
And Sally is… uhh, let's just say she has the most controversy in Archie considering how wildly inconsistent she is and how she literally gets reduced to a damsel in distress before Ian Flynn takes over the Archie series at issue 160. So, be warned: You'll probably hate her for quite a while before you start liking her. She is best in the rebooted Archie Sonic which starts at issue 252.
If we didn’t have to put with his awful characterisation in his solo game and the meta era Shadow would be easy top of S tier for me just for his portrayal’s in SA2, Heroes, 06 and Shadow Generations alone
Everyone is talking about Charmy,but is anyone gonna talk about Zavok an the ohter Zeti? Personally,I really like them and I feel that they get too much hate. Although,I'll still put them in B or C tier,because they don't really seem threatening,but that's what makes me like them...
To me zavok while not looking the coolest is one of the best written sonic villains
His motives are clear and understandable, he does cool things and most importantly he almost won
Only problem is after lost world he really stopped having a reason to be in the games but oh well I’m just happy he’s here even if they turned him into a generic lackey
As for the others
Zik is a good character who seems to love his family and likes to participate not letting his age slow him down
Zeena is a very funny character who is very self absorbed and lazy
Zor is funny in a meta sort of way with how relatable what he says is
Zoomom…..yeah not much to defend there just gluttony
And zazz is a very fun character wanting to fight all the time
Also here’s something not enough people bring up
All the villains in sonic lost world represent a deadly sin which is probably why they are called the deadly six
Zavok: envy (envious of sonic’s abilities)
Zik: pride (acts like he knows more about fighting then sonic)
Zeena: lust (self absorbed thinks sonic is attracted to her)
Zor: sloth (always depressed and complaining
Zoomom: gluttony (he is always seen eating giant food)
Zazz: wrath (he is always yelling and ready to fight)
Eggman: greed ( even after sonic stopped the zeti he still wanted to kill him
9:02 while accurate that after 06 Shadow's character was assassinated, who wasn't? Amy got slightly better but barely used.
Sonic became a different character after unleashed and especially Generations. Tails had many character breaking moments.
Knuckles became useless after the adventure games. Eggman and Metal became a Joke.
Silver had a rough start.
Shadow became the literal Edgelord villain as opposed to antihero. Team Chaotix, Silver, Blaze, Rouge were underutilized. 2007 skipping Generations-pre Sonic Frontiers. Everyone was broken. Luckily Ian Flynn to the rescue. Sonic franchise seems to be making it's comeback
Tbh sonic should go in S tier because he was our first character and his graphics got cooler overtime
Sally being A is fair.
As a character, she over missed as a character, leader and heroine.
Classic Sonic in MD games is exactly Sonic himself and the one split ftom the mainline just has little to talk about
I will send you to the shadow realm if you don’t move charmy
7:04 Hold on Only Gamma and Beta had Flickys. The other ones had random animals.
Something I was never sure of is: omega is a recreation of gamma?
Dude you can’t just gloss over the Babylon Rogues because you don’t remember much from Sonic Riders. If you gonna make a tier list on the actual characterization on them go back and watch the cutscenes or something? It’s very disingenuous to lump them together refusing to go back and have a fresh take on them all.
Cream is an S tier character in my mind because I literally only know her from Sonic Chronicles and she’s extremely OP in that game lol
i don't understand the omochao hate 😅
I think that, as of Frontiers, Amy is now a part of Team Sonic.
Yeah but that’s only recent
@@rickyronny4019
Not that I mind, but why are you telling me this? Frontiers came out 2 years ago. I know that.
@@magical_pixie_horse7346 ok, I just still don’t consider her a legit member of Team Sonic cuz of recency imo
@@rickyronny4019
I could be wrong, but it might also kinda be a retcon since Superstars also has Amy as a part of Sonic's crew.
the babylon rogues have more story in the comics now...after the sonic riders story finished they started doing a spin off comic...all i know is Predator Hawk from the comics joined the BR but i don't know much else.
No love for silver with 0 games, emerl and gmerl is just a side character, but silver is one of the main characters.
Man, no Mecha Sonic??? I always liked him more than Metal, and up until SA2, felt he had a bigger presence in the games than Metal, since Mecha appeared in the main line genesis games while, I actually had no idea who Metal was until I saw him in Sonic Adventure, because I never had a Sega CD or 32x.
Gamma is in S rank but our precious emerl is not even in the list😢😢
I call charmy the bug
I’m a weirdo whose favorites are Cream, Chris, and Shadow 😅
💛❤️🖤 🤷🏻♀️
Amy in frontiers was horrendous but Amy in sa1 was good
gonna have to say lift infinite, as he still has some of the more stronger moments and lines, and his whole dynamic of just being a loser
Eggmanland in Sonic Chronicles is the best one oh wait…
whats up with all the hate on charmy 😭😭 i think its so freakying annoying to the point is fun
My bro judges Sonic X based on the dub 😭
Screw that, Japanese is the definitive version.
I'm not a super fan of knuckles but FUCK I love his character and hate how he's been shafted ever since the 00s. God I'm interested in Frontiers now if they've really broken the decay of his character, fuck yeah!
Knuckles peaked in 1998 - 2005.
He started to become really lame as the games progressed.
before I watched the video I just want to say Espio is my favorite
I’m going to be honest here, rouge should be in D, sassy as flip. Mighty, S Tier, he’s cool.
Sally deserves more respect
Well Sonic X shadow generations helped shadow majorly
I think Orbot and Cubot are very good in sonic boom
Shadow on shadow the hedgehog amd 06 are great imo
I would move Gamma down to A teir, put Omgea in S teir, put Espio in A teir, Charmmy is A teir, Cream is A teir, Black Doom in B teir, Wave B teir, Jet in A teir, Silver is S teir, Elise in C teir, Mephilis S teir, Chip is C teir, Classic Sonic D teir, Zovok F teir, Mighty and Ray C teir, Infante S teir, Sally is D teir, Chris is F teir, but the rest I keep the same. Also, I think the different versions of Sonic (aside from Classic Sonic) should not have been on the list since it's just Sonic with a different coat of paint. Neo Metal Sonic should have been on the list, since it's quite different and much better than Metal Sonic.
I agree ☝️
5:56 erm how about sonic heroes?
Clickbait: there is only about 50 characters in the video, but the thumbnail said 50!
You didn't mention metal sonic from sonic heroes at all :(
Sad that there are some random humans and nothing about Sônia the Hedgehog and Manic the Hedgehog
No time eater?
The best amy characterization is sonic boom
Merlina is missing :(
i should point out immediatley the Nintendo stated that it is a FACT that Sonic, Shadow and Silver are 100% equal...so if you don't put them all as S tier...you are seriously bias...they were designed to be equal...the olny thing sonic can do that that shadow and silver can;t is go hyper but of course that is purely because the hyper form doesn't really exist in the new age sonic stuff. all three of them have a unstoppable ability in super form: Sonic = Arrow of Light / Shadow = Spear of Light / Silver = Shield of Light. it was also stated that even though Scourge is a comic character only...he is also equal to Sonic, Shadow and Silver...because the whole point is that he is a EXACT clone of Sonic...only evil.
LOL if Tails is S tier than Silver is definitley S tier...i mean yeah Tails is smart and when doing teamwork stuff with sonic he was awesome...but i would probably put him one tier below S personally.
Tangle! :D
Whisper! :D
...where's Surge? 😭
I like the egg man robots
*HOW DARE YOU RANK SANTIAGO AS S TIER*
this is not to be mean but Rouge should be B just cause her life is as more secretive then Shadow, so unless there's an explanation, she's just there to be annoying and harsh and just a hazard.
And with no reason, a part time team sonic member.
Silver stands for S+ you know
Marine the Raccoon in the dirt.
Why does everyone hate Amy? I'm pretty confused. Not to you, you don't think that, but to some others.
If you ranked black doom or Maria and Elise then you should had added Sha'ra, Erazor Djinn, Merlina the wizard (the only female final boss in sonic), also forgot about Shade the echidna, Ix, Scyla, Charib, Lumina, Void, Ilumina, Heavy, Bomb, Mecha Sonic, Mecha Knuckles, Tails doll, Eggrobo, the hardboiled heavys, Bark, Bean and most of the Freedom fighters...
Marine the raccoon I definitely think could’ve been in here too. Was also pretty hurt about shade and the top three you mentioned
I see what you did with Omachao!😅
Blaze and silver are S tier easily
You forgot Emerl and Gemerl
Where is Trip
My commits are suppose to be not offensive.
Cream is my favorite charater ❤❤❤❤❤
Where is Bark :(
11:09 this just might change with the new movies I actually thing he would make an amaizing character
LOL gamma is not an S...Omega is...i would put Gamma in A tier...i mean the whole point of Omega is that he is the robot that stops Shadow...Gamma never had any such plot twist...he was just a fiarly impressive E-Series. Blaze got her best moments in Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure...great gameplay, great bosses and the interaction with Sonic and Blaze really shows off how tough each of them are...it's the one time you really see that Blaze can hold her own agaisnt Sonic.
Metal Sonic is S+ 💯he is so freaking cool and menacing!!
Big the cat in c tier is blasphemous
GET MY GOAT IN S NOW
Sticks is great
Silver is S
Silver is A? but fat short Sonic is S?
Makes sense that fat short Sonic(i know its Classic) is S but Silver should be in S
Edit;Amy is D to me
12:48 wrong tier. Brainrot tier
Sonic is Sega
NO WAY BIG IN C TIER IM CRYING. Plus, he didn’t show Big being in Sonic Prime, which he isn’t dumb and not a joke character anymore 😭😭
Disappointing no hypersonic wow😩😞
That’s a transformation, not a character
