12 years later, still one of the most impressive runs ever made for Unleashed. It may not be the fastest anymore, but it shows by far the greatest amount of skill and creativity out of all the runs I've seen. On top of that, the song... I always disliked this song, but this video makes me *like it*. I think it's because of the perfect syncing with what's happening during gameplay. "When you leap without a net" RIGHT as Sonic goes out of bounds? Wow!
To this day this is my favorite of your videos. Granted, I've yet to see them all, but I love the song/stage combination, and this was the first video of yours I've seen, and it utterly blew me away.
I've been coming back to this video pretty much every day now since first viewing it two weeks ago, and learning about KAKIPI (I've seen all of his videos now, and this player has to be the best Sonic-related speed runner out there). I'm just absolutely shocked at how perfectly executed 00:15-00:20 is. I have to admit I prefer the Unleashed runs to the Generations ones, so here's to hoping you do more (assuming there's still things left).
Insanely impressed. You basically broke the level in every known manner. I was great at speed running this game until around late 2009. The insane amount of exploits and glitches that were found were too much for me to remember.
Dude this is fantastic, awesome, and any other praise worthy word I am unable to think of that makes you better than the rest. I swear the S rank should be yours and you should stand for nothing less, especially for going through that level as quick as you did
@Aitamen Of course I have, but the question was "Why isn't this an S", and the answer was "they skipped part of the level." If there are a points in a section of the level and you skip that section, you should expect to have fewer points regardless of how quickly you finished it.
No, 3D with 2D bits mixed in sells for them, so it's still in there. For example Sonic Generations sold the most out of all the sonic games over the past few years.
@Evan121991 He actually stalls on the rock to do a glitch that allows him to stay in 3D. The loop that he jumps off of is actually a 2d section of the level and you can't jump off of it without doing that glitch.
if this was wat a sonic game was like all the time, then that would truly be a fast game worth loving. Man,i felt like i was watching the real sonic do things.
@Armydillo0 This was literally my thought haha. Insane. I don't care if it took the person forever to memorize this or not, it doesn't negate the fact that the speed is purely amazing to watch.
Awesome video and cool moves, KAKIPI! It amazes me how a lot of the best stuff from Sonic comes from Japan (even though I hear it's not too popular there). Viva la stage! ( ' v ')
I just got up and open my lap top and clicked on the youtube icon and i decided watch this viedeo and now I know I am destend to play sonic games insted of mario
I am more mad that they were given an A rank for such a fantastic run, than the jealousy I have that they're a better player than me who has spent time researching and practising all the ways they can run through the stages flawlessly.
@phillyfanmatt lol, that's because you in Sonic games, you get S ranks from score. He got amazing Time Bonus, that's for sure, but he didn't really get score for all the other things like enemies. And in this case, it seemed like he didn't get a single point in the trick section.... which is weird.

I feel like this is how sonic games were inherently meant to be played.

ここの怒涛のサイド回避好きw
曲と地味にリズム合ってんのも面白いw

Excuse me while I get my jaw re-attached and my eyes planted back in because of how awesome this was.
2020 - loving this video since
2010
I loved that by the time the singer starts saying "In this world' the gameplay shifts from 2D to 3D. It's just perfectly timed.

Gotta go fast.
I don't know who you are, but it's always a treat to see old comments from UA-camrs before they got big.
I've watched this countless times, never get bored of it xD
The energy man. Good lord lol
"Putting on a show" indeed! Eggman's been facing this for twenty years? I respect him so much more now!
I can only imagine how you're going to tear through Sonic Generations if you tore through this game the way you did.
I'm looking forward to it =P
To put it into perspective. At that speed, if he had run vertically, he would have run from the earth to the moon in just under 15 minutes.
Insanely impressed. You basically broke the level in every known manner. I was great at speed running this game until around late 2009. The insane amount of exploits and glitches that were found were too much for me to remember.
i cried abit when the video ended and i put my jaw back up. thank you.
Now THAT'S blast processing.
TAS並みの早さですね^w^
「もたもたしていると置いてくぜー」
これは史上最高のゲーム
Weeks of level design just to see only a couple seconds of it.
"Watch your step now watch your step don't fall!"
No kidding there, song. This looked insane.
10年以上と思えない華麗なプレイ。これが神か
need to come back and make more sonic speed run videos for us we all miss you!
still the greatest.
はやwwwうますぎwww
i JUST DO not BELIEVE what i saw, what KIND OF skills even are those stunts you just pulled
Dude this is fantastic, awesome, and any other praise worthy word I am unable to think of that makes you better than the rest. I swear the S rank should be yours and you should stand for nothing less, especially for going through that level as quick as you did
man mind had a hard time keeping up with all this
Sonic has always been a secret air force talent recruit program.
LEGENDARY. 5 YEARS LATER STILL LEGENDARY
@Aitamen Of course I have, but the question was "Why isn't this an S", and the answer was "they skipped part of the level." If there are a points in a section of the level and you skip that section, you should expect to have fewer points regardless of how quickly you finished it.
That's the speed Sonic is meant to go. If you're not breaking the sound barrier you're doing it wrong.
This is what a Sonic Commercial SHOULD be
Sonic Unleashed proves that you don't need online to make a game that you'll come back to again and again
When he's going this fast, all of the disks and platforms that are meant to give him a higher sense of speed actually slow him down.
Sonic dropped out of Physics class, but he had the last laugh.
I bet that felt like an eternity to the person playing.
The way he ran, it was like trying to keep the rings away.
sonic should get a nobel price for proving einstein wrong by going faster then the speed of light.
This is what Sonic looks like now? Man, I am old... :(
No, 3D with 2D bits mixed in sells for them, so it's still in there. For example Sonic Generations sold the most out of all the sonic games over the past few years.
For those who want to know, I THINK the song is called "His World."
no wonder he wanted to get through this game as fast as possible
This is how sonic is supposed to be played
どうやってSE消さずにBGM差し替えてるんだろ フシギ
The crazy thing is, this guy went on to beat the record he set in this video.
@phillyfanmatt I don't care how many rings or enemies he missed, that performance deserves an S!
曲も操作も神!!!
あたしこんな速くできなーい!
@Evan121991 He actually stalls on the rock to do a glitch that allows him to stay in 3D. The loop that he jumps off of is actually a 2d section of the level and you can't jump off of it without doing that glitch.
if this was wat a sonic game was like all the time, then that would truly be a fast game worth loving. Man,i felt like i was watching the real sonic do things.
sonic adventure 2 battle, which is entirely 3d, sold more than twice the amount of copies of generations
Sonic going past the speed of sound even the rings have trouble catching up.
GOTTA GO FAST
wow, I haven't been this impressed with Sonic in a very long time.
This is how fast sonic would be in real life
Halfway through I expected the game to crash with how fast he was going.
@Armydillo0 This was literally my thought haha. Insane. I don't care if it took the person forever to memorize this or not, it doesn't negate the fact that the speed is purely amazing to watch.
Music's name is called his world
I've never liked Sonic games but this is impressive...minus the music.
Announcer: "Ready?"
Sonic: "Alright! Let's Burn Rub-"
Announcer: "G-"
Sonic: "SHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"
*1 minute and 40 seconds later*
Sonic: "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Music matches this run almost perfectly.
nice the place sonic is at is Petra in Jordan.. its amazing.. its one of the 7 wonders of the world..
First thought upon seeing this: GOD DAAAAAAMMMMMMN
Second thought: Damn, Sega needs to make another F-Zero game.
Awesome video and cool moves, KAKIPI!
It amazes me how a lot of the best stuff from Sonic comes from Japan (even though I hear it's not too popular there).
Viva la stage! ( ' v ')
That feel when you'll never go this fast.
0:47 You know you're going fast when rings have to chase you across a chasm for you to get them
length of the video - 2:05
length of time my eyes and mouth were open through sheer shock and awe - 2:10
Blood Eagle and Diamond Sword agreed to refer to their speed in Sanics out of mutual respect for the magnificent blue bastard shown in this video.
I think he broke the sanic barrier.
First the snaking..then the shortcuts..then the holy hell moments XD shit just got real- SONIC REAL 8D
Maybe it was a precise position KAKIPI needed to be on.
うますぎ笑
This just recreated the entire term "Speedrun"
This is probebly what a super sayen sees when he is fighting someone in DBZ.
I just got up and open my lap top and clicked on the youtube icon and i decided watch this viedeo and now I know I am destend to play sonic games insted of mario
I am more mad that they were given an A rank for such a fantastic run, than the jealousy I have that they're a better player than me who has spent time researching and practising all the ways they can run through the stages flawlessly.
Now this is moving at Sonic Speed.
I wonder if this is how Sonic sees the world...
It's funny because that's exactly how Sonic games SHOULD be.
And while this is happening. Somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario is unplugging toilets.
-Rolling around at the speed of sound-
-A rank-
VGS
This dude is Sonic. I mean,the real one. He just play his own game. This video was to be named : Sonic play Sonic.
0:48 Never fear the fall!
0:51 Falls
0:55 Watch your step now, watch your step don't fall!
I loled
@phillyfanmatt lol, that's because you in Sonic games, you get S ranks from score. He got amazing Time Bonus, that's for sure, but he didn't really get score for all the other things like enemies. And in this case, it seemed like he didn't get a single point in the trick section.... which is weird.
this was ridiculously good, much props dude
@SandBlaster3000 You'll also notice that the Ring Energy is different to the one on the Wii and PS2. If there is a circle button, it's on the PS3.
If only we could do that with the werehog stages
上手すぎて草
and people say the newer sonics arent as fast as the old old ones. lol.
People hate the gameplay of Sonic 06. That doesn't mean people hate the music of Sonic 06.
I'd love to see someone really fast like The flash do this.
Awesome video though
How many HUNDREDS of times did he fail to be able to work out where to go in order to pull THAT off!?
You play with his brain and you're like "DUDE, can't handle it!"
I wish sonic games were actually SUPPOSED to be played this way.
0:40 is nicely synced up
I swear, if this was done iwth hax, then it was done with STYLE!! it's practically what Sonic should've been!
well, Sonic finnally lives up to his name
Tribes: Ascend before they decided not to do a platforming remake.
What? only an A?
He skipped too many enemies and qte's. This ain't Generations. Time bonus ain't everything.
Meanwhile, in Tribes: Ascend!
Looks like Tales slipped a little sumthin-sumthin into Sonics drink.
