    It was likely that EXE didn't account for Metal Sonic since he, by technicality, didn't possess a soul. This allowed Eggman to plan an ambush tactic with Metal Sonic, who possessed the single strongest attack in the Classic Era: The Maximum Overdrive, which could burn through any material including the unbreakable spikes.
    Either way, well done on the thematic theme of the steel-plated Faker being the key to distract the blood-crying Faker.

    People usually underestimate Metal Sonic in .exe scenarios. He was created to be the definitive counter to Sonic himself by matching his speed, power and maybe even more in durability.
    Theoretically, X can torture all the other characters because they had souls, however Metal Sonic does not so he decided to not bother with him. He over looked Metal Sonic and that ultimately is what made him lose. He didn't account for how powerful Metal Sonic would be.

    A few bits I love
    3:17 I love how somber and hopeless the music feels here, you feel like Tails and everyone's doom is imminent and there's nothing that can stop the darkness closing in around them
    But then you get a sudden shift in tone at 4:40 when Metal Sonic's eyes flash from within' the darkness and the melody becomes hopeful and triumphant again, you actually feel like they managed to pull through at the very last moment and everyone is saved.
    It's a very clever choice to use "What I'm made of" from Sonic Heroes here because it takes on a completely new meaning. It's no longer a song played for a boss you're fighting it's become a song about how you've broken free from your shackles and can't be toyed around with any longer, they're no longer bound by X's rules and are going to escape.

You look like Sonic. You are not Sonic. I look like Sonic. I am not Sonic. I AM METAL SONIC! And now, it is time!" I mean, he's probably thinking it, kupo.

  • @Nightmare62107
    @Nightmare62107 4 місяці тому +33

    1 year later, and this is STILL the best take of "Final Escape" that has ever been made.
    Where do I even begin? First off, I love how you put in the effort to make it seem like an actual in-game battle! Most takes don't show full sprite animation throughout the entire video, I absolutely love it!
    For Eggman's part, I love how he plans Metal Sonic's appearance since the very start. Eggman knew he wasn't gonna survive, so he sent Metal Sonic to ambush when X was caught off guard towards the end. I also love that when Knuckles' part starts, the eggmobile falls into the abyss in the background. It's a neat detail.
    For Knuckles' part, I admittedly think it's a little too boring. I like how Knuckles fights X, but I feel like there isn't much life to how Knuckles just walks into him. Knuckles should have punched X before he fades away, and I feel there should have been more going on like Eggman looking into the distance and Tails seeing X imitate Sonic in their parts. It's still good, though.
    For Tails' part, I kinda wanted to see Tails fly in some way. Even just to dodge X, or anything like a little few seconds lasting detail. Also, in the part when Tails is seen with X and all the dead characters, I don't think I saw Amy there. Knuckles, Eggman, Mighty, Vector, and Espio can be seen, but not Amy. It's just a slight oversight, but other than that, flawless! I love it!
    Now for the final part: Metal Sonic. Holy christ, Metal Sonic was used PERFECTLY here! I genuinely love how you gave the characters a canonical and sensible way to defeat X by using Metal Sonic as an ambush! X doesn't account for Metal Sonic because he doesn't have a soul, which ends up being the one mistake ending in his demise. Perfectly set up, perfectly used, perfectly ended. I also love how Metal Sonic isn't "overpowered" in this take. He's not able to kill X, but catch him off guard and knock Sonic's soul out of X, setting the other souls free, and giving everyone time to make a run towards the end, being the red ring. I love how even Sonic ends up surviving all of this, making a beeline for the end with his friends.
    The final thing I'd like to note is that this genuinely makes this all feel canon. This feels like if the characters were actually in this scenario in the Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles era of the games, this is what would happen! Eggman saving and helping Sonic and his friends in this video feels really canonical given this scenario. I just genuinely love the thought and detail put into this video!
    Also, I think it goes without saying the music itself is faithful to the original classic Sonic games, which is why I haven't mentioned it. It's perfect, I have literally no criticism on the music and sounds part of this video! Outstanding job!
    Oh, and just a fun fact: This was uploaded on June 22nd. My birthday is June 21st. It's just kinda funny to me, LOL!

    Ok so I absolutely love this animation so I wanna take a few minutes to talk about how good this is.
    First, the level of detail. There are little touches to this I loved like Sonic exe using the insta shield to break eggman's eggmobile, The lives being the character's First letter like Mania's encore, Tails icon flashing as he's the "final life", the fact the score is not just blank and actually has a amount to it, the timer being broken, and the game being called "Sonic.exe" when the game seems to crash. Also I love that the Sonic exe separated form has the sonic 3 ending palette glitch. Great touch.
    Second thing, I like that the way Tails and the other's won made sense. Having Metal Sonic ambush Sonic exe while he's distracted and basically make him "lose a life" to separate him from Sonic's body was not only a smart idea but also makes sense game wise, as it would make sense that if Sonic was being controlled by Sonic exe that making sonic exe "lose a life" would separate him from sonic's body. Much like how you lose a powerup after dying.
    Lastly I gotta give props to the animation itself, while yes most of the sprites were used from official sprite sheets and not made just for this video they were used smartly and done in a way that made it feel natural. Not once while watching then I feel like something was off or shouldn't have been there. And plus the way it was animated really made it feel like a sonic game. The way they moved jumped and turned during the animation felt as it should and never felt floaty or uncanny.
    Overall, amazing animation. This is a great video and I can't wait to see if you'll do more animations in the future.

    I have a lot of words for how magnificent this is.
    First off, the song was composed really well, as it has a horrific tone throughout, even at the end with Metal defeating EXE himself.
    Second, the animation is spot on, too. The first animation with the piracy screen was... Eh. Then the chase with Eggman, it's touching that Eggman thinks of Metal as a son, as when those letters flew by, my assumption was that Eggman's first though was Metal Sonic.
    Knuckles, of course, would try fighting the demon. I was genuinely worried about Tails, though, as the poor kid looked traumatized throughout. I think Tails was only one left alive, just to be tortured.
    Up until Metal thunders in, grabs EXE, and uses the Overdrive long enough to damage Sonic's body and set him free. Also, I think as Sonic was set free, everyone's lives were restored. Not sure how that works, but it's warming to see, especially with Knuckles, Eggman, and Metal sticking by Tails until Sonic ran up.
    Also, a neat idea to make EXE's true form a reference to a glitch in Sonic 3.
    If this doesn't become an actual game, I'm gonna make it happen myself.

    I always adored this song. The familiar tones of a sonic track, some you can idfioety turned into a struggle. EXE is dominating most of the track, a desperate dash that you arnt even sure you'll make it to the end until the end where it turns triumphant, a light rendition of a ever powerful sonic track, What Im Made of.

I absolutely adore the incorporation of Encore Mode mechanics from Sonic Mania, and all the visual references to past Sonic games with the twisted Sonic.EXE spin on them is really cool to see, the "Play With Me" reference gave me nostalgia I didn't even know I had, and the Sally.EXE reference... ohh, that takes me back. The ending featuring the ENTIRE cast of the classic games (with sprites, anyhow) is something I've never seen anything Sonic.EXE related do, so even if it's just a series of cameos it's still a first for this fandom to my knowledge, and EXE's last appearance being Sonic 3's sprites with Sonic 2's palette is a deep cut I was not ready for. There's just so much to admire, I wish there were more animations like this one.

    I have been coming back to this every few days since it released, watching it multiple times every time (i did the same thing with confronting yourself, which correct me if i'm wrong, but i assume is the prologue to this?), and it blows me away every time.
    The entire composition and pacing of the song, the storytelling both in the presentation AND in the meaning of the melodies and leitmotifs you chose?? Absolutely phenomenal. Hands down one of my favorite sonic.exe anythings.
    I also have my theories for why metal was able to catch X off guard (im not sure if this is xenophanes or just sonic.exe 2011 so i'll just call him X), but it sounds a bit silly to write down lmao. I'll just say it is refreshing to see them like..actually win for once? I understand the hopelessness is the point in sonic.exe, but it gets a bit rote when it comes to an actual narrative. Its why Spirits of Hell/Sally.exe is still one of my favorite versions of the story, simply bc u know..they can fight back. So its good to see the "final escape" concept applied to the souls and not just boyfriend!!
    Anyway, great job, cannot wait till your next release, whatevwr that may be.

Everything from briefly disappearing and reappearing to pretend like Eggman had a chance against him, to him taunting Knuckles as he fails to land a hit on him. Heck, all the stuff he does with Tails is just exemplary of that - dedicating that whole dramatic scene with everyone Tails knows being in Angel Island's flames as walls close in on him.
    Whether that's EXE taunting Tails for being the final victim or because he revels in the irony that is killing Tails whilst wearing the skin of his best friend, it makes the finale with Metal Sonic's interference feel that much more cathartic! All in all, an amazingly put together rendition of Final Escape. One that I'd have no qualms referring to as the definitive, dare I say!
