Вставка

- Knuckles' character has had TONS of highs and lows over the years. Sometimes he's a powerful rival to Sonic, and other times he's just a flat out idiot.
Today, we're looking at Knuckles' character in every mainline Sonic game and ranking him from worthless to elite.

I didn’t chuckle while watching this video
I’d rather flex my muscles 💪
Unlike Sonic
@@luiiiiiiiiiiigiI don’t chuckle. I’d rather flex my muscles.
I'm hard as nails. It ain't hard to tell.
@@jeremymklinger Bro is hard as nails and it ain’t hard to tell
“Let’s go get those minors!”
- Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic Boom)
🤨
Knuckles is getting canceled
@@chadgorosaurus4898that was the incident in the twitter takeover
@@chadgorosaurus4898I thought you were only on kaiju videos, I guess I was wrong, I see you every where, no joke
@@chadgorosaurus4898 No.
If the Knuckles' show was included, it would be in the "he gone" tier. :P
That's a straight-up lie.
Waded and Whippled
I’ve only seen some of episode 1 but from what I’ve heard the series is apparently turning into “the wade show”
True frfr
I say we make Knuckles’ infinite jump a canon ability. I mean it’s been in 2 games already, so let’s make it an actual ability he has lmao
I know it was in sonic boom, but I thought that it was only in that game
@@KodasToyReviews it was in Frontiers too but it was much slower than the Boom version.
Fun fact: Sonic 2 can be combined with Sonic and Knuckles, allowing Knuckles to be playable in Sonic 2 and Knuckles.
Tha's the definitive way to play Sonic 2
Yeah I use mobile and it does have him in sonic 1 and sonic 2
Not to be that guy but it's called Knuckles in Sonic 2
@@gunman8452 I don’t blame you. I was mainly joking by making it a reference to Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
Tbh I kinda like the idea of the Sonic team being "The fast, the smart and the strong".
But Knuckles doesn't need to be an idiot to be strong, just like Sonic doesn't need to be an idiot to be fast...
Personally I prefer the idea of Knuckles being deep, but eccentric due to his isolation, and that it was his lack of contact with people that made him gullible, but that this gullibility is quickly rectified when Knuckles realizes Robotnik “does not know da wae” and decides to join Sonic.
@@watchinglearner Yeah, it's really unfortunate that Sega didn't seem to know any other explanation for gullibility than just "he stupid lol".
in Sonic Advance 2, Knuckles is the only playable character you fight before you unlock them because Eggman tricks him to fight Sonic.
thanks for making this, its a fun concept.
The funniest thing that Sonic Boom Knuckles is more useful than modern Knuckles. 💀
OOOF 💀☠️
Knuckles helped Sonic collect those coins in Sonic Generations
Very important😂
THAT LOOKS LIKE A HOMING SHOT
It was in that mini level
That's a side mission not tied to the main story.
Man can’t wait for Amy
🤫
Absolutely useless. Next
Amy only has one tier,the simp tier,no use at all😭
@@Ultracomics-fz1ig ok guess I’m defending Amy now I guess in sonic adventure 2 she was the reason shadow join the good guys without her the world would have been destroyed
Yeahh but like...nvm that's true I can't doubt an S+ tier game
We noticed very clearly that Knuckles became an idiot in the Sonic Boom Franchise especially when he can't tell his left from his right and we know he gets tricked very easily by Eggman, luckily he's moved passed this and he may be gullible, but he's still strong and he's tougher than leather.💪🏻❤️
Knuckles: *Gets tricked by Dr Eggman once*
Modern writers: "I diagnose you with stupid"
to be fair, it happened three times
@@ninjacat230 What was the 3rd time? Advance 2?
He got tricked like 5 times.
Honestly I think he really is an idiot.
"Once"
knuckles chaotix:
the brawn(sidekick) tier
sad Chaotix noises
Dude it's a Basically a Spin off of knuckles not a sonic game 💀 plus+ it would be cheating.
@@MrFredDude2.0 He included chaotix in the tails video
@@MrFredDude2.0 actually Knuckles is the secondary character added to the name because they had no faith in Espio
Final Horizon is not after the main story of Frontiers, but rather is an alternate ending for the game. So he's helping before the world is saved.
You did not consider that in Sonic advance 2 he is tricked by eggman again, and fights Sonic in Sky Canyon using the machine Eggman made.
I didn’t know that! Must’ve totally missed that in my research, thanks for the correction!
Up next: How useless Amy is in sonic games?
Knuckles is fully playable from start to finish in s3k, strange to omit that rather important aspect.
it's also a different story that shows mecha sonic defeat
Yeah, I forgot to mention him being playable, but like Sonic Adventure, he still would've got that tier regardless for helping Eggman throughout
4:24 the ds version has him
Actually if Knuckles didn't blow up the bridge in Hydrocity zone then that part of the stage would be a dead end, making it impossible for Sonic to reach Eggman. So Knuckles was in fact extremely bad at his job in Sonic 3.
To be fair, im pretty sure eggman wanted knuckles too do that since eggman immediately already had a machine to deal with Sonic Down there
@@Not-Kirbo2 I guess that's Eggman's L then, Knuckles was just faithfully carrying out instructions
Hard disagree on Frontiers, thorought the game he helps a lot and is incredibly likeable, the whole time you spend at the second island, you get to talk with Knuckles about his shared past with Sonic and while their classic rival relationship exists there, he's also openly thankfull for all Sonic did for him and is glad to be his friend
(Also Final Horizons is an alternative ending to the story that is heavily implied to be the canon one, so not only his help there is completely accountable, but also his dialogues and coordination with Tails and Amy)
Angel island isn’t a thing anymore
Dude, Knuckles is elite in Sonic Forces. The fact that he isn't playable doesn't change a thing.
Well, I found one good thing Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric did right.
and then you realize that Boom Knuckles' infinte jump got patched
Honestly, Sonic & Knuckles should’ve gotten a separate entry because the Knuckles campaign to the game takes place after Sonic’s story, he’s fighting harder bosses throughout, and he’s the first character in franchise history to overcome a Super form by being the one to beat Mecha Sonic for good. So the most Elite of Elite.
Also, Advance 2 (and Triple Trouble were it on the tier list) deserved Manipulated but Strong because Knuckles pilots an Eggman machine for a boss fight.
They’re pretty much equals in Heroes.
In Rush, the rocks fell on top of Knuckles as trying to attack Blaze. Blaze simple lead him there, she didn’t really do anything.
Dignifying Will Smith for that yet alone giving Amy any credit for that move is a massive sin.
In Forces, Knuckles got over 80% of their forces killed in his so called Operation: Big Wave that he thought up in a minute in a half…
What about Colours DS, in which he was tricked into another eggman trap and races sonic to hide his embarassment, then start fighting with rouge for no reason?
Great series! Metal Sonic next?
I have that same exact backpack and I use it to care my switch stuff 7:20
Don't forget the Knuckles show where he gets put in the Sidekick tier.
Sonic Advance 2 literally had him pilot the most annoying boss in the game, and Sonic gets annoyed because Eggman manipulated him again
I loved this video! Great choices! :DD I subscribe!
Thank you!
By the way the part where you can play as Amy,Tails,and Knuckles is an alternative version of ouranos island so the world still isn't saved
Sonic 4 episode 3 has Knuckles, but was canceled.
Sonic Mania 2 also had Knuckles, but was also canceled.
Awwwww nooo
You don’t have to beat the game to play as knuckles you just have to go to the other story to play as him
This is one of the only tier lists where you can unironically put Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric on the same tier (and where it will be at the top of the tier list as a whole).
Didn't include Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
4:13 Name Sound-Alikes
hes back!!
4:38 did Knuckles just grab Amy and drag her in😭
Nah all of them just flew btw
boom knux is just funny. in the show and in cutscenes
I loved this video and the one about Tails! Do you think you could do Amy next?? That would be so cool
His debut isn't until Sonic 3, so he gone in 1, 2, and CD. 0:18
You used footage of Knuckles in Sonic 2 in the intro, but you still put Sonic 2 in the "he gone" tier?
The portable dock in all honesty is better than the dock bois, unless if it doesnt have usb ports
We not gonna talk about Operation Big Wave
The concept of this video is absolutely hilarious. 😂
You forgot Sonic Battle, Dream Team, and the other Sonic Boom games
Are we really going to ignore the fact that Knuckled got most of his army wiped out in Forces before the on-screen events of the game?
You put Knuckles in Mania in Elite WITHOUT saying anything about his storyline character growth when he reaches the Master Emerald.
Not saying I DISAGREE, but if there was a tier ABOVE Elite...
Next ranking how useless amy is in every sonic game
what was that animation at the beginning? Was it a fan animation or an official?
Wait, you forgot about Knuckles Chaotix!
Dude when you said the game was strait up booty cheeks all I heard was my brother I ln my head😂😂😂😂
Nice video
Can't wait for You to make a video on how useless Sonic is
46 minutes? A good video at that early time?
Amy Will Smith's Knuckles made me snort
tbh I feel like he's about as useful in Forces as he is in SA2
I mean to be honest, he is a tough guy sometimes, so he’s not always useless
They are ranking of their mind of Useless
the only change I would make is putting Knuckles in Sonic 3&K in Elite tier because of Knuckles Campaing that happens after Sonic & Tails story. He defeated Super Metal Sonic alone!! That's elite tier
Mecha*, classic metal is weaker
a bit disspaointed you left out the & Knuckles mode in sonic mania. but still got S there so I cant complain too much.
Love the video
Thank you!
Captions be like 💀:
Sonic, Tals and Knuckle the EK Kidna.
Didn’t Knuckles cause the death of hundreds of resistance members because he made a bad call, and then just not bring it up or even get called out for it?
Let’s admit everyone in sonic generations was practically useless especially against the time eater we had silver and shadow just saying watch out sonic!
Oh 100%
Well, he is in sonic colors, but in the DS version
0:02 *Knuckles. I love Modern Knuckles, even if the classic version loses its cunning and determination.*
grouping all 3 advance games makes it feel like you didnt play each of them, because its significantly different in each. in Advance 1 hes unlocked from the get go so thats an automatic elite, in advance 2 you unlock him AFTER sky canyon but the boss of that is knuckles who was once again fooled so that'd be a manipulator but strong tier based on your tier list, as for sonic advance 3, knuckles comes to help when sonic is team leader and offers his assistance after the second zone, and is playable rom then, it might not be RIGHT from the beginning but its very close and hes very useful being the only power character to break the power gates so i'd say that ALSO earns him an elite
TL;DR advance games are VERY different for each appearance
1. hes elite from being unlocked at start
2. manipulated but strong unlocked after his boss fight where he got tricked
3. elite since hes unlocked very early in the game and came to offer sonic help
MEME ITS NOW ILLEGAL TO USE YOUR MEME
For Generations, to be fair, he was at least useful in one side mission when the player character needs him to dig out the coins to progress further though the Mystic Ruins. I know it's not part of the main story, but at least it was something, unlike in Lost World where he bragged about how he would have completed the mission a lot quicker, while doing absolutely nothing.
Can't believe you left out Sonic Pinball Party, where he is TERRIBLE at pinball (and the first Story mode fight).
Honestly, I feel like he could have been in elite or the brawn teir for Sonic 3 and Knuckles because of his playable story in the game, as if he didn't destroy Eggrobo and Mecha Sonic, everything Sonic did would have been for nothing (and also his playthrough, while skipping a few bosses and zones, is far more difficult than the Sonic/ Tails playthrough due to most of the bosses being buffed and some of his routes requiring picky jumps and harder puzzles)
6:49 He should go a little up cause it retcons the final zone of frontiers so the world wasn’t saved yet,
If I recall, he did appear in Colors DS
What about Movie Knuckles?
*It clearly says "SONIC GAME" in the title.*
5:54 Sound effect Elite name? I want it
Btw Im pretty sure Amy is Next
It's from advanced warfare
Bro knuckles is in sonic 1 and 2-
6:52 i think he would be ELITE because have really good cutscenes and he can do infinite jumps like in Boom
7:00 Knocking Knux down to bottom tier for making me fight Fang emeraldless
3:53 bro had +300 aura then -600 aura
I mean, that's pretty accurate imo.
Also, he is top tier in Sonic The Fighters... I know spinoff games don't count for this list but still.
4:13 BRON Tier! 🐐
Knuckles is in sonic 2
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE BIT WITH TAILS KNUCKLES AND AMY IS IN A DIFFERENT TIMELINE SONIC FRONTEIRS SHOULD BE IN AT LEAST BRAWN TEIR
Why haven’t you included Sonic dream team in any of ur Sonic ranking videos?
I don’t think he’s played the game.
I’m not sure if it necessary counts as a mainline game (but then again, he does include Boom: Rise of Lyric), but even if he did count it, there is the possibility he hasn’t played it because it’s exclusive to Apple android devices.
@@Multi-fandomEldingArum But he does include Mario Run for Mario character rankings and its a Apple game so.
@@Multi-fandomEldingArumHow is sonic dream team not even a mainline sonic game what?
@@HackerGamer649 so the reason why he doesn’t include Dream Team eludes me.
I like this update cuz its colorful and looks fun
0:03 Wait. S1 - no Knuckles, but remake version playing
S2 - in game, but in version "Knuckles in Sonic 2" LOCK IN ON System catridge
Sonic CD - No, but playing in version "Sonic Origins"
S3K - in game playing. Select him in "Data select"
The thumbnail was a lie
191 views in 14 minutes, you really fell off smh…
Jokes aside. This is a good video and I can’t wait for you to see more
He best roles is sonic adventure 2 and heroes to me
I kinda feel bad for him
well finally
Real talk: how do you feel about the various Sonic fighting games?
what about Triple Trouble, Chaotix, and Pocket Adventure?
It’s nice knuckles
0:20 B A R S
Knock knock
modern sonic is a different timeline then classic, so he wasnt fooled twice
