Unlike Game Grumps FWOB actually give games a CHANCE to be good. EDIT: 10:28-10:38 "That's all the bit is, it's not moving on" Jacob shows why Arin constantly beatboxing is stupid.
arin sucks assssss as commentary, hes best at visual comedy which is super fuckin ironic, like when it comes to non edgy humor it falls flat most of the time
I, too, think we would still use the term furries, but its meaning could differ greatly depending on how relations went between humans and those of beast-kin. Probably with religion and the definition of "people" or "person" being large deciders.
Sonic Riders is actually a really solid racing game. The big problem is that it makes VERY little effort teaching you how to play it. Once you get the hang of things, though (and spend enough time to unlock things) then it's a lot of fun
Best of Sonic Riders Jet: HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I think it's time for a little fun. Also, you have to resort to shortcuts to win by doing the hold A jump in the jungle.
The shortcuts are actually slightly complex, for instance, flipping backwards makes you fly up higher, while flipping forwards pushes you forward. For instance there's 2 shortcuts in metal city, one near the beginning where you have to rotate forward to reach, and another near the end which skips the rotate part by flipping backwards on the big ramp, there's several other shortcuts on other tracks that require the same thing. So it's not just charging and jumping at the last second. However Zero Gravity simplified this by removing the flip momentum entirely, for proper ramp timing only.
Sonic Riders is one of my absolute favourite Sonic games. i'm super excited to see you guys play it. i have replayed this game so many times, it'd so fun.
15:05 I know this is years old but I didn't see any comments on it, there IS a way to set a trap on those trails, if you hit L and R at the same time it makes a tornado in your trail
oh wow i played this game a lot! here’s two tips just to make things easier. you grind rails by being the speed class and hitting a (in mid air) to grind a rail, then a to jump off. and you can do high jumps off of ramps if you hold back on the control stick before jumping off them (only once you release a, not when you drive off them.) and i’m 12.
It's honestly a really solid game. Very few bugs and problems, solid balance between the different character playstyles, and the different boards while fairly similar, are really fun to pick and choose from. Not to mention that the fuckin levels look dope as shit man
Right before you go off a ramp hold the A button and it will charge your jump and you can get major air! After you hold the A button if you want to go higher height wise hold down but if you want to go farther distance wise go up on the control stick. It's really simple
Now THIS is a game/series i can get on board with (pun not intended). I'm really surprised that they skipped the tutorial (even though it's FWOB) because this game has some crazy unique mechanics that a tutorial really helps with.
Fuckin loved this game back in '06 Some cool tips if you continue playing: - if you charge your jump before going off a ramp, you get extra air. On the big scripted ramps, if the ramp is a flat slope up, charging your jump and starting with an upward trick will help you hit a shortcut. If it's a curved slope up, start with a downward trick.
Oh, sonic riders was pretty fun. My cousin had the first game and I went out and bought Zero Gravity because of it. Now, Zero Gravity was hella fun! Loved that game!
Don't forget that when you're riding someone else's turbulence mashing the A button will make you go faster. Also if I recall correctly the L button should be your tornado trap. Which is basically a wind based 'banana peel' that you but down to stop people from using your turbulence.
Sonic Riders is like the Kirby Air Ride of Sonic games. Mind you, it's nowhere near the level of good that Air Ride is, but it's way more fun than any other Sonic game of the 3D era.
If you do front flip on a charged jump you can go further forward landing on the shortcuts higher up. A backflip goes higher for shortcuts directly above. almost every big jump has a shortcut of one of the two choices
People have questioned whether or not i was a stoner in high school because i'm generally tired, chill, and my eyes are red because I'm bad at keeping shampoo out of my eyes to the point that I've developed a tolerance
TIPS: Dashing slows down opponents, makes them lose rings, and gets you energy. try and chain hits. get rings for more gauge and better damage attacks while dashing. try holding the button a little longer when jumping, and if there seems to be a second platform, hold the opposite of the arrows below you to make it. if that doesnt work, hold the way the arrows are going.
At the start stay with the line and you will get the best launch and hold the jump item at the start of a jump To get max height and sometimes go to a new part of the map
Sonic R was good because it was Sonic that was racing. Why would you want to play a racing game with “The fastest thing alive” when you are just racing with them on a vehicle.
The first sonic riders was my favourite due to it having higher skill requirements compared to Zero Gravity which simplified and removed one of my favourite mechanics from the original, that being midair momentum and manipulation based on the direction you flip, in exchange for only proper ramp timing, but I'm okay with that cause, the new mechanics were insane. Then nots even mention the 3rd one...
My opinion is everyone has a very unique personality its shown in the comics most games just mess up the character development from the sonic characters
Holy shit I still own this and Zero Gravity on my PS2 and I might need to return to them. Fun as hell, especially as a kid with loads of imagination; making mini narratives even in simple arcade races. Also I'm really happy that dad mentioned SSX, which FWOB should also play tbh. SSX 3 is an all time great.
thank FUCKING god i dont have to listen to cade say "deauhh" every 5 seconds while i enjoy watching the other quality people on the channel play a game
I thought I remembered there being a scene about Tails building their Gears and explaining to Sonic that that even though he can run just as fast as them, he couldn't enter the competition without one. Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe they skipped it. It's been like 12 years.
Yoooo, Sonic Riders needs a remake BAD. This game is so dated but it's really fun.
Vampirian Blood bruh zero gravity was lit af
mick mike ZG is great but free rides was the kinect game
mick mike that game is my shit, I love it
i'm taking you to flavor town oh I remember u don't forget trash like that.
yea this and zero gravity are so much fun to play, they deserve to be brought back.
free riders however...
4:42 *Not just any race... But a special race, to see who's the fastest.*
Ok, eggy
Did you know ?
In regular races, people just go around from point A to point B with no particular purpose or goal in mind.
None of those slow races you've been hearing about.
Only the most special of races
You'll never find a race more racy than this
Lol I saw this guy on Twitter. He's legit.
It's my headcanon that that line was the result of Mike Pollock ad-libbing and they decided to keep in in. :)

Did you know? The intro for this game was animated by the same studio of Attack on Titan
SS616 Gaming makes sense
FROOOGGGYYYYYYYYY
Oh :O
That's so awesome!
And the sonic CD intro was made by Toei, the dragon ball studio... We need a different third company to make an intro now lol
gotta love Babylonian furries racing on hoverboards amirite
Are birds still furries ?
Do they call them... like... featheries ?
Featheries?! XD
Would you still call them furries if these creatures have existed as long as humans?
JNine yeah, we would
I, too, think we would still use the term furries, but its meaning could differ greatly depending on how relations went between humans and those of beast-kin. Probably with religion and the definition of "people" or "person" being large deciders.
Finally the best goddamn racing game ever created can't wait to make this comp though

I used to LOVE this game as a kid. Glad to see my favorite UA-camrs play it.
So if we suddenly get 37 videos a week for like 3 months and Jacob turns up dead a year after, we know what happened.
C.J. Rogan what?
Cocaine
Well.
Best of Sonic Riders
Jet: HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I think it's time for a little fun.
Also, you have to resort to shortcuts to win by doing the hold A jump in the jungle.
Wait, IS THAT HOW YOU DO THAT SHORTCUT!? I ACTUALLY NOW KNOW THAT!
Adam Rhodes No problem, buddy, learned that the hard way.
I usually ended up pulling it off, anyways, but it's nice to know exactly what the trigger is.
Adam Rhodes got it.
The shortcuts are actually slightly complex, for instance, flipping backwards makes you fly up higher, while flipping forwards pushes you forward. For instance there's 2 shortcuts in metal city, one near the beginning where you have to rotate forward to reach, and another near the end which skips the rotate part by flipping backwards on the big ramp, there's several other shortcuts on other tracks that require the same thing. So it's not just charging and jumping at the last second. However Zero Gravity simplified this by removing the flip momentum entirely, for proper ramp timing only.
How can anyone let the Sonic Riders theme/intro play without talking about how fucking awesome it is?
They didn't even mention how Wind got 4th in her race after talking so much trash.
Wave*
Water*
Wave is actually pretty good
Sonic Riders is one of my absolute favourite Sonic games. i'm super excited to see you guys play it. i have replayed this game so many times, it'd so fun.
Another sonic game with the OG pair feels good man :^)
15:05 I know this is years old but I didn't see any comments on it, there IS a way to set a trap on those trails, if you hit L and R at the same time it makes a tornado in your trail
Honestly, this was the only Sonic game I played to completion. This one was FUN.
YES! THANK YOU! This game was definitely a childhood classic I have no idea if you’ll like it but the racing in the game was pretty cool
The in-engine cutscenes look kinda like they wanted to keep the Heroes feel, but just update the models. I honestly kinda dig it.
oh wow i played this game a lot! here’s two tips just to make things easier.
you grind rails by being the speed class and hitting a (in mid air) to grind a rail, then a to jump off.
and you can do high jumps off of ramps if you hold back on the control stick before jumping off them (only once you release a, not when you drive off them.)
and i’m 12.
AAAAAAAAAAA THEY ALREADY FINISHED RECORDING AAAAAAAAAAA
It's honestly a really solid game. Very few bugs and problems, solid balance between the different character playstyles, and the different boards while fairly similar, are really fun to pick and choose from. Not to mention that the fuckin levels look dope as shit man
That cutscene was actually way better than it had any right to be lol
No...that's just Sonic
Dude you have no idea how much I love this game
Man, I really miss this game. Thank you guys for giving it a playthrough AND a fair chance.
Riders is good but Zero Gravity is lit as fuck.
Dalmnolk Ukans zero gravity is a freaking bop, dude
Dalmnolk Ukans Both are awesome
Original Riders feels more clunky and dated to be honest.
Also what's a bop?
Dalmnolk Ukans Zero gravity has godlike music and visuals but the gameplay is a lot worse than riders 1 imo
Sonic Riders was a legit good Sonic racing game.
Right before you go off a ramp hold the A button and it will charge your jump and you can get major air! After you hold the A button if you want to go higher height wise hold down but if you want to go farther distance wise go up on the control stick. It's really simple
very true and also if you hold down the jump button down right before you go off a ramp then let it go when you youll go higher and do tricks faster
Now THIS is a game/series i can get on board with (pun not intended). I'm really surprised that they skipped the tutorial (even though it's FWOB) because this game has some crazy unique mechanics that a tutorial really helps with.
I'm glad Dad likes this game. I have many a fond memories watching other people play this on UA-cam as a kid.
Fuckin loved this game back in '06

- if you charge your jump before going off a ramp, you get extra air. On the big scripted ramps, if the ramp is a flat slope up, charging your jump and starting with an upward trick will help you hit a shortcut. If it's a curved slope up, start with a downward trick.

"All I know is babylon's involved."
Honestly, same.
You should really play Sonic Riders Zero Gravity after this, it improves on everything in this game
Except for doing tricks
no
except it was on the wii
...So? They've played many Wii games...
Kyledude252 yeah Zero Gravity was awesome plus idk the Wii version controls isn't as everyone makes it, they suck because I placed top 3 all the time
This is the first game I played on PS2. Glad these guys are playing it
im so glad they are playing this, and dad is also enjoying it! This is one of my favorite sonic games!
Don't forget that when you're riding someone else's turbulence mashing the A button will make you go faster.

This brings me back, I loved playing this game with my older brother
Best part of this video is 11:45 to 11:50
Congrats guys you just earned you another sub
Wow! You guys are the first ones I've seen, who actually like this game!
Favorite/Best Sonic game imo
One of my most favorite games.
8:16 for those who have watched high school DxD
“Not just a race, but a special race to see who’s the fastest!”
That’s just a fucking race.
Jet is a hawk, Wave is a sparrow, and Storm is an albatross.
I think Wave is a Swallow, if I remember right
@@AstralMuffin105 You're right, thanks.
If you do front flip on a charged jump you can go further forward landing on the shortcuts higher up. A backflip goes higher for shortcuts directly above. almost every big jump has a shortcut of one of the two choices
I'm so excited for this arc
Can we call this the best Sonic game of 2006?
Nothing makes me happier with alpha and dad playing sonic thank you fwob i love u
I feel like this should be followed by “also I’m 12”
Ernie Gang GanonCanon true but here in the sewers we are kinda rushed with every thug
There is one of the control stick rotating parts that how long you rotate actually matters (the one you get shot out in a bow.)
I love how they have alot of expression.
My favorite part of the intro is when dillion looks like he died and has acxepted his fate
This game was my childhood
I used to love this game so much as a kid
I have fond memories of this game, glad my memories arent just nostalgia goggles
People have questioned whether or not i was a stoner in high school because i'm generally tired, chill, and my eyes are red because I'm bad at keeping shampoo out of my eyes to the point that I've developed a tolerance
This is the best racing game ever
I get happy whenever Don likes games I like!
I believe if you press L + R you can make mini tornados which can be used to have other ppl get caught into it when they're riding your turbulents.
TIPS:
Dashing slows down opponents, makes them lose rings, and gets you energy. try and chain hits.
get rings for more gauge and better damage attacks while dashing.
try holding the button a little longer when jumping, and if there seems to be a second platform, hold the opposite of the arrows below you to make it. if that doesnt work, hold the way the arrows are going.
ALSO jump and then press it again when near rails as speed characters to grind on rails. these are characters like Sonic, jet, and Amy.
Jet talking to sonic is like someone talking to themselves
Please guys, you have to finish this game by beating the villains story mode!
Sonic Riders was the first game I ever 100% Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity was the second. Both are very good.
At the start stay with the line and you will get the best launch and hold the jump item at the start of a jump
To get max height and sometimes go to a new part of the map
i loved this game, one of the few racing games without itens that i really enjoy
I love these games to hell and back! Glad they’re getting some recognition 👍
If I am correct you can get shortcuts if you hold the jump button on a ramp.
Fun fact: this is the first time Alpha has been seen in a series that isn't Mario Party since Super Seducer, which was 3 weeks ago
Sonic R was good because it was Sonic that was racing. Why would you want to play a racing game with “The fastest thing alive” when you are just racing with them on a vehicle.
The first sonic riders was my favourite due to it having higher skill requirements compared to Zero Gravity which simplified and removed one of my favourite mechanics from the original, that being midair momentum and manipulation based on the direction you flip, in exchange for only proper ramp timing, but I'm okay with that cause, the new mechanics were insane. Then nots even mention the 3rd one...
11:15
Anyone notice the red dot on Sonic's board??? ;)
I love playing this as a kid but that was like in 2008 when I was four
And it’s 2018 and it looks way more awesome some how
*SEGA makes new character*
Alpharad: LoOk At ThIs EdGy OC
Hey look an underrated racing game that other people than just me enjoy. And that ending
Omg i remember this game sooo well. The first game i really really raged at and finished with a passion
steel ball run anime is looking great
“Create your own opinions”
Nah, I’m just a part of the internet hive mind
My opinion is everyone has a very unique personality its shown in the comics most games just mess up the character development from the sonic characters
Holy shit I still own this and Zero Gravity on my PS2 and I might need to return to them. Fun as hell, especially as a kid with loads of imagination; making mini narratives even in simple arcade races.
Also I'm really happy that dad mentioned SSX, which FWOB should also play tbh. SSX 3 is an all time great.
Someone make a meme of Alpha yelling "BOOST" and replace it with the audio in High school DXD when the dragon yells "BOOST BOOST BOOST BOOST"
YO I almost cried when i saw this game pop up in my feed i fucking love this game and i hope this is the one sonic game that the fwob boys like
I SPIT MY FOOD OUT OF MY NOse when don went “REEEE” when tails got mad. I ejected that shit. Damn it. I don’t even know why it was so funny
I loved playing this and dying on the China map over and over
11:45 "don't come to school tommorrow"
I loved this game so much as a kid, I didn't 100% but I got a lot of the boards
Y’all make me REALLY want to go back and play this game
*reads title*
ye
thank FUCKING god i dont have to listen to cade say "deauhh" every 5 seconds while i enjoy watching the other quality people on the channel play a game
SteveTheTuba oh man
I thought I remembered there being a scene about Tails building their Gears and explaining to Sonic that that even though he can run just as fast as them, he couldn't enter the competition without one. Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe they skipped it. It's been like 12 years.
The green line that passes in front of you is the optimal run to get 0,00
Tails is nap nap nap %overpwered%
I can’t wait for the special race to see who’s the fastest
This game brings back memories
I'm kinda hoping they figure out that they need to charge the jump and release at the ramp to spin faster and perform more tricks.
Did you know?
If you press R and a direction on the control stick, you can draw two cards from your main deck?
I legit looked out the window when the car honked in the beginning
I like how tails made sonics board to look like his airplane the tornado.
To be fair, Sonic uses the board because Extreme Gear are actually faster than he can run according to the speedometer.
Please make more I need to see an attempt on the last race
