It's so eerie how the moment he stops singing, he goes _still as a fucking statue._ No idle animation at all. He just _stands_ there, _staring_ at you with his insatiable hunger.
Tho I wanna see starve eggman vs underworld Luigi since they're kinda similar the difference is that starve eggman isnt really cannibal he only eats living animals and mobians
@@nightdog4183 if you wondered why his eyes is black because from eating flickies, his eyes turned black and he lost his mustsche because he had no nutrients. And now hes rotting
@@afnfplayer3520 His stomach also gone absoluttly bad,so now he cant fight out his starvation,and probally will die in 2-3 weeks due of his organism getting fully rotten down or so.
My favorite part about Starved in the lore Is that he doesn't eat humans, and is in fact polite to them, so imagine you just have a friendly conversation with Starved, and next thing you know he just goes Oonga Boonga when a Mobian appears
"Oh yeah there was this cool book I found the other day" "Really? That would probably be a good read while I'm not really doing anything." "Ehh, I'm not sure if you'd like it though. It gets kind of crazy near the end." (Mobian walks by) "FURNACE, GET IT!" "Furnace? What are you talking about- OH GOD IS THAT A ROBOT"
Starved is nice to humans, sure, but he's killing creatures that have sentience and eating them alive like Sonic in the background, I'm sure that killing mobians almost everyday because of the time stones does some sort of damage to his mind, meaning he could be a psychopath he might not eat humans, sure, but he might kill them for the joy, though thats largely unconfirmed since there are no humans in Sonic 2.
The scariest part of Starved is the fact that he genuinely isn't dumb at all. He's still the same 300+IQ doctor who has a crazy Mobian craving, which makes him even more terrifying.
If he has a 300 IQ wouldn't he realise if he kept just eating mobians it would get to a point where his body can't take it anymore and he would just die?
a version of starved who is just fucking primal would be so cool honestly, like he’s just BARELY robotnik and built furnace before his primal instincts took his mind
One thing that I find interesting is when everything fades to red, the room is gone except Tails, Eggman, and Sonic. The fact that Sonic is still there means that he isn't just a background element to Tails -- that's still his friend. His dismembered, eaten friend. He's splitting his attention between Sonic and Eggman. This could be fatal. He isn't focused.
i think starved eggman knows that tails cant properly focus its the advantage eggman has over all of them now he isnt driven by ego hes just lustful for a new meal and wont let anything get in the way
Even if he didn't know Sonic, it'd be hard to focus on the task at hand when there's a half eaten corpse with its guts spilling out onto the floor in the same room. Especially since he knows that the man he's fighting right now is responsible for it.
It helps that Starved's down pose, as well as being a reference to one of the older pieces of official Eggman art, looks a lot like he's mockingly gesturing to the corpse.
Did anyone notice that Starved’s left pose is exactly like Sonic’s iconic pose, meaning he’s probably taunting Tails by doing it in front of his friends corpse?
I'm just glad that according to the lore, Tails survives and has a chance to kill Starved, since he is basically a normal human who is slowly rotting away.
@@nightdog4183 it's a side effect due to his new diet,his skin turned red and rotted away a bit,he also lost his mustache. Idk much but I think that's OK,
I love the idea that Starved uses Sonics ego against him to capture him, and how he can easily see through Tails knife and stance to see his fear. This Eggman isn’t fueled by ego or anything to prove, he simply wants to feast.
2:28 I love this little detail in the instrumental, it signifies that this is not A different being, it’s still ivo robitnik, but he’s become even more corrupted and insane, his once silly and cartoonish behaviour now masked by his new form, and the drums of the song, but it’s still their… just to remind you of the man he was.
When everything turned red, it feels like Tails have the feeling to be capable to end Eggman's life. Its like he filled with anger, but then 2:28 plays, everything stops being red, its like tails Remember its the ol' Doctor Robotnik/Eggman, and he maybe do not want to kill him, but then everything turn to red again, like Tails remember why he's here at this very moment, he wants to kill this monster, ( from his point of view and the mobians ) then at the end of the song everything turn bacl to normal, but this time it feels like Tails instead completly gived up, and he do not want to fight anymore, this time he's filled with Fear, and he choose to Flight, to run as fast as possible. Try Again!
The moments where this actually sounds like an Eggman boss battle makes this all the more unsettling, it really nails the feeling that you’re fighting a more deranged version of the prideful Doctor.
Starved's poses here remind me why hes possibly my favorite exe. Its especially apparent in his up pose, he just feels demented yet gleeful that he finally has a new meal. It's so unnerving and spectacular. Edit:realized after Starved isn't an exe, my mistake
This is such an interesting one because looking at his poses, they're all just so eggman, they suit classic egg to a T - but at the same time that's clearly not the egg we know
Mobian Rash is the byproduct of injecting or ingesting Mobian blood or meat. The proteins found in Mobians have been known to cause an unusual red discoloration of the skin and hair loss. Long-term symptoms include body deformities, particularly around the facial region. This only affects humans. Flicky Frenzy is the sudden craving of a solely carnivorous diet, causing an insatiable appetite for cooked meat. This is caused by consuming Flickies carrying a parasitic worm that have not been properly removed before cooking. Symptoms include manic episodes of grandiosity, narcissistic behavior, personality alteration, a rotting smell omitting from the orifices, and dangerous, aggressive behavior towards animals and Mobians. Most cases can be identified by the stench or babblings of eating. There is currently no known cure.
0:40 Some of the notes starved does near the end of this verse sound like he’s taking in really deep breaths, it is EXTREMELY uncomfortable yet cool as hell
it adds so much to the fear factor he's the rotting starved corpse of a mad genius who uses his intelect and power to destroy an entire race, consume them and repeat it all again, so he can always eat more and more. it's so unsettling to think how tired this... *thing* must be because of it's diet. eating raw animals with his own bare hands, slowly rotting his skin. it makes you think of how desesperate and exhausted he actually is, but how his hunger and vice don't let him stop
@@bamama1365 and since starved could go back in time…… THAT COULD MEAN SONIC DIED THOUSAND OF TIMES!!!! And that could be why starved says “you don’t even know your fate hedgehog”
I love his left pose. It's like he's taunting tails by doing Sonic's iconic pose right in front of the corpse of his best friend. And his huge smile just adds to the fact that he knows he's doing it. What a dick move
The thing about Starved that gives me genuine fear is the fact there's not some demon possessing the video game of Sonic, not the soul of a victim possesing the game, or the corruption of other supernatural forces. This is the real deal, in universe. Eggman is far gone from who he was initially, just a mad narcissistic doctor trying to destroy Sonic. Now he's a killer, straight up murdering and consuming the victims (who mind you, some of them are sentient beings on the same level as humans) like he's a hunter. But not hunting for sport or what have you, but because eating the flesh of Mobians gives him so much euphoria to the point where he's willing to let his body take the effects/consequences of the diet, like Mobian meat is a drug to him. And in a way, he won, there isn't much of a triumph for the heroes. He eats Amy, Sonic, Ray, and many others. Sure Tails is alive, but he's permanently scarred with the loss of a tail, he can no longer fly, at least not as effectively/requiring much more effort.
@@VortexDBD It says that he is rotting inside and outside,technically Mobian meat is like Crocodile Drug at this point,since if you inject it once - necrosis will start which will slowly kill you if you wont inject more and more...
one thing people don’t seem to notice about this timeline is that tails doesn’t actually get to meet sonic before he dies. since sonic cd comes before sonic 2 (confirmed by an easter egg in sonic cd and sonic origins), this means that tails is standing up to starved with no inspiration from his best buddy, and has no knowledge as to who sonic is, making this even more depressing
Honestly, one of my favorite things about this song outside of, well, the song itself is the game over. It's one of, if not THE creepiest game overs I've seen in an FNF mod. The song itself is fantastic too, with how intense and unnerving the whole thing is. It really makes the situation at hand a lot more intense, and it's just so good. Easily my favorite song in the update (and probably in Vs Sonic.EXE as a whole).
@@zedleyPop I mean, I've seen some pretty creepy FNF game overs. Granted, they're creepy for different reasons (like for example, the atmosphere of Trollge Files game overs compared to this one's shock factor), but still.
The fact that that in the end you got to clutch it, is what actually impresses me the most. It's really a good idea since it actually implements the idea of how a little mistake can end your life if you don't focus on a moment of fight or flight.
@@creeperboom9813 You don't die once your fear reaches max. If your fear meter is maxed out, the fear will drain the hp bar to the point of where you can't miss or you'll die. But you don't die once you reach max fear.
considering both of them are pretty intelligent (i think they have the same i.q.) it makes me think that this song is just a battle of the wits between Tails and Starved (with Tails of course having doubts throughout the song). They both had a carefully calculated plan that they're now slowly revealing to each other, and how they outsmarted the other in some aspects of their plans.
I now have the mental image of tails and starved having a battle solely composed of them unveiling different machines, traps, and plans in a doofenshmirtz-esque final death duel of the minds.
This is a great example of a song slowly building up fear. Not only does it start of slow and gradually increases in the tempo, but also the fact that the health drain gradually gets more harsh instills even more fear in losing. And then the slow mellowing out at the end is a really nice touch. As shit as I think the EXE devs are as people, I can appreciate the work they have made
I haven't played this mod and i was curious, is there any way to actually decrease the fear or does the song actually become a no hit midway through the song?
@@theracter8976 They framed Revie as a groomer and a pedophile just so they could pump their OCs into the mod front and center while also trying to redeem someone who had extorted actual CP from a 14 yo and refused to delete it until it was all revealed on twitter, and even then some of the devs are still friends with the person who possessed CP. I would say that makes them pretty shitty people
I love the vibe this song gives, as it speeds up it feels like hope slowly fading away as uh... whatever Eggman has become sings faster and faster, because he knows he is winning, he knows you're too scared to try anything with the knife on your hand, he knows you're weak and that you'll end up being just another meal and that it's *too late for you to even think of fighting, or fleeing.* Even if Tails survives in the end it definitely doesn't seem like it in this song.
What makes this worse is that eggman is still...well..eggman, he can techinally still lose but its a matter if tails is even able to pull that off...starved may be a monster but he's a monster in a human body breaking down from his diet...and tails has shown to be able to hold against him before Canonically tails should survive this encounter sense he has evolved into starves primary enemy and objective....the fact tails is still alive in this au makes one wonder if he could really win
@@thegamingfreak6807 Well yea, it is still eggman at the end of the day..hes just way more scary but tails has been shown to be just as smart if not more at times compared to eggman so its a even matchup..specially of theres still some mobians who could maybe help
Definitely the best song of the whole mod IMO There’s a feeling of hope being depleted as the song goes on and speeds up, the fade to darkness only showing the characters in red, the choice of poses and perspective, and the lore of Starved really make this my personal fav. Even if the Sonic.exe mod has been cancelled prematurely, watching the mods come out of such high quality has been a blast.
Oh I know of the stuff that happened behind the scenes- when I said prematurely I just meant that there was a lot more the mod team wanted to do initially but they released the cancelled build we have now. I’m super grateful for the stuff they’ve provided the community. They didn’t need to do ANYTHING and they gave us some of the best stuff in the FNF modding scene.
Like dude feels he is the guy killed ur friend, u got a knife and u can try do something but its hard because he can just kill u by eating you It feels like: he is so close but at the same time so far He just mocks while your fear increases and you see when everything goes dark and you think it's over you see your best friend, sonic behind and remember your purpose of why you're still standing
This kinda resembles the Drowning music, with both becoming faster and faster. One representing the urgency of air underwater, and the other representing the fight or flight behavior. Both anxiety inducing.
I always saw Starved's lore as the Sonic series' original premise taking a dark turn. Think of how the original games had underlying themes of technology vs nature, manmade progress vs life on Earth. Think of how Starved could represent manmade progress at an even more destructive degree where life is consumed for the sake of that progress even as the Earth is being destroyed as it happens. You aren't battling some otherworldly evil or a mischievous demon. You're battling against the embodiment of man's consumption, literally and metaphorically, of nature when it's at its worse. Tl;dr You're fighting against corporate greed. [Edit: Grammar correction.]
This was my take too, and that it reflects real things like climate change and our complete abuse of every resource the world can offer. This is just animal POV with some heightened sentience. Scary because it's real, and we're the villains.
If your fighting against coroprate greed, thats probably the most scary thing of all dude. That is so massively powerful that it could probably take over the entire world if it had the chance.
Honestly, if Tails wins and manages to defeat this mortal man, he could use the Time Stones he had to reverse all that has happened if you think about it. Meaning, there's hope, even if slim.
Also, for some reason people don’t know this, in Prey, it’s canonical that Eggman used the time stones to relive Prey, with the line “You don’t even know your fate, hedgehog.” suggesting he has done Prey (and possibly Fight or Flight) multiple times.
@@itibiti7459 Eggman is still a mortal man, he can die just like any normal person. Also the Timeline is that Sonic 1 into Sonic CD, which is the part Sonic dies in the story
@bruh moment afterall the base game is only a few songs while mods are what makes the game so popular It makes the difference between a small demo game and a expansive game with hundreds to thousands of songs And it brings a lot more characters to light again
I think this song is the best frfr The song starts slow, calming even sending you into a feeling of fake trust and calmness Suddenly the background music kicks in letting you know that that calm feeling you had? It's fake. Starved's poses are terrifying, he shows no emotion but glee. He doesn't care there's a knife pointed at him, he only cares about his dinner standing in front of him.
this description made me thing about starved eggman going into a government facility just to find superintelligent animals (mobians), one of them carrying a sharpened rock. but it will take more than that to stop a very hungry eggman
@@octanemain3010 i believe he uses the time stones to kill tails and sonic again,as he does say "you don't know your fate yet, hedgehog" almost like he alredy knew sonic is not able to win
I love this song so much man. The speeding up of the song and the bass gives it a intense fight or flight feeling and the fear meter too. Man if only this mod was not discontinued the possibilities man!
I'm sure the only reason I love this song out of the rest is because it's unsettling and the fear mechanic just adds to it making it creepier that any missed note will make it rise hence giving tails a bad ending. Not to mention how the song slowly grows a more menacing fullness as it gets quicker, sounding even more urgent
so i just played this song for the first time holy fuck seeing that there was a "sacrifices" stat instead of a "misses" stat, seeing the lifeless body of a certain hedgehog... i was actually very afraid to miss a note. good god. thankfully i never did, and i fc'd the song on my first try, but still. MAN this song is something special. best song imo. no other song made me feel so many emotions.
It gradually fills up during the song, hitting the notes make it go down a little. You don't die when your HP reaches 0, only when the fear meter completely fills up, but when you miss a note after the HP reaches 0 it drastically fills up
@@leastrojoco3912 I know this is from months ago, but it increases whenever Robuttnick Hits a note, or you miss a note. I also think that when the background turns black during that one section it starts increasing faster, or maybe it's because I suck and missed a ton of notes
I do like the small detail that ypu dont see the arrows for Starved's vocals. He's unpredictable, Tails doesnt know what he's going to do. He can only act and plan based on what happens in the moment
for anyone wondering what the Japanese says at the end "The ram cartridge has not been initialized. Initialize the ram cartridge." not sure if 100% right because i used google. I guess this takes place in a sega genesis? Love his poses and the music. Prolly has the spookiest retry ive ever seen very good.
Considering Prey takes place in Sonic CD, I'm guessing this is after it, which would make it either a Sega CD or a Genesis if we went to Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Starved is probably the scariest character in the mod. It’s pretty terrifying that he is not possessed by a demon and despite the consequences of losing his face, he still wants to eat all the mobiens. He went far enough to build robots to help him consume mobiens. And the fact that you see sonic lifeless with his guts falling out of him worsens it even more! They made a really weird idea work so well as a scary character!
@@joechristo2 Agreed. Sonic exe is like a lazy sonic reskin when starved actually lost his face from his dangerous appetite. When I first even saw him I thought he was a minus skin lol (if you never played the minus mod it turns fnf icons into characters and gives them way more personality than before.)
@@joechristo2 I think it’s the atmosphere and how realistic it is. I’m not saying that losing your face over appetite is realistic but take it like this. In the real world, serial killers exist. And they are absolutely terrifying because they actually take place in real events of enjoying killing people. A monster that has control over the world is not as relatable as a serial killer. And starved is a serial killer so a fictional character doing something that can really happen is more scary than something that cant.
I think there's hope for Tails. If he can master his fear, he essentially has Starved dead to rights. Sure, he reeks like death, his coloration is a constant reminder of the things he's done, and Sonic is dead. But Starved is still just a man. Fear is all he has, at least here. Absolutely love the song though. I think it encapsulates that feeling of rising fear extremely well.
I find it unusual nobody’s mentioning the leitmotif repeating at the end, as if Starved Robotnik takes a second to slow down, savour the moment, reflect on what I can only assume was a heated argument finally ending - because he knows Tails isn’t backing down by this point. And things are going to get *VERY* messy, regardless of his victory.
Eggman's vocals sound very inhuman and... unvocalistic, I guess... Which fits him, but kinda throws me away, because it seems slightly undecipherable, his sounds are just melting into one. But Tails' vocals, my god, his chromatics are just flipping best, it sounds like he actually sings, not just, like, a voice from some kind of musical program like FL Studio, it actually sounds like real singing, and his vocal shifting like on 2:15 are even giving me shivers. Magnificent!
A little thing that always left me with an odd feeling is the fact that it is said starved never eats animals raw, he always cooks them first. But here, guessing by the sake of horror, you can see sonic being half eaten and a lot of just guts and gore all around the room. I guess he maybe made this grotesque scenario on purpose in order to scare tails...?
Didnt sonic run into furnace at around 100-200 MPH? Or even higher running into metal at that speed would cause a huge sound shockwave that sounds like sonic standed no chance agaisnt that? (bad grammar)
The ‘Fear’ Mechanic is really cool, as the bar fills up, Starved becomes more and more harder to beat, to the point where you’ll have to get a FC to actually beat him, it’s similar to Black Sun, but longer.. and harder.. Where missing costs you in the long run. And if you let the bar fill up, it makes sense why you can’t lower it by singing, Tails’ is too scared, and he’s just hoping he’ll beat the Starved Doctor, when Tails’ confronted him, he had confidence. But it diminishes completely if you let the bar fill up too much.
The fact that tails starts giving up due to fear in the middle of the song is just so sad to see. You can see him giving up as eggman starts draining his health down, until tails cant fight back. He also lost his tail, you can see theres only one. Tails is also holding a knife, meaning he failed? to stop eggman. Making it even more sad, theres so much detail to this song, its just amazing. And with sonic dead in the background just makes it so much more unsettling. Best song in the game for a fact. [EDIT: I honestly dont know if tails was actually able to stop him. please dont start an argument in the replys.]
Sonic was the only one that got his back in situations like this, but now that Sonic's dead, he's on his own right there, with Eggman, I mean, does that thing even look like Eggman? this shit is literally a monster, not Eggman.
@@w0rdd4wg93 bro this is one of the first times i've seen starved and i keep seeing spanish or portuguese bullcrap everytime i try to search dont judge me bruh
@@w0rdd4wg93 also about that health drain. and also the FEAR bar. mate, they couldnt even fight the health drain by the end. seems like a point where tails starts to give up.
My favourite part of this is the fact that when he's idle he's just as still as a statue, just watching tails. Waiting. Then there's when a note goes to him he seems so alive. Like he's normal once again.
Ngl, it's the first time in years that an exe feels like an exe, especially the game over screen, it reminded me of what I feared when I was younger. He's not just there, he's coming for you.
Agree, most exes really feel like people creating "my edgy sonic oc" disregarding the horror aspect (horror themed, but none of them manage to succeed). Both Starved and Sink have been my favorite exes as of now because they have this strong sense of helplesness and are creepy in their own way
The whole fact of this eggman mostly not being exe character make him so creepy He's not posessed by any entity,but by his HUNGER He tried meat once,and got in taste so much that he started eating small animals and even Mobians,made his robots cook them,and even made a Metal sonic variant - Furnace,to cook bigger animals He ate Amy,took one of Mile's tails and now hunts him And,he keeps sonic as his "Special" meal Isn't that creepy? With no demons or entities possessing him,he can outmatch most of .exe characters by the degree of horror and fear he gives off
now THIS is what I wanted to see from the mod, i’m honestly just satisfied with this song and I don’t even feel like I need more (not like we are anyways, I feel damn bad for the mod team.)
@@cryogen. the mod got leaked pretty badly so they cancelled the mod and just released the mod unfinished to the public really sad shit hate when people just can't be patient and wait
For the ones who don’t know what the text says at 3:45 here’s what it says translated into English The ram cartridge is not initialized. Please initialize the ram cartridge.
eggmans personality as a whole prevents him from actually winning with the ideal that villans dont normally win, but i think that eggman actually could take over like he does here killing just about everyone and even then he still is the smart man that he once was, just deranged and hungry, despite the whole eating bit, i really do think eggman could have done something like this if he was motivated enough, which in cases this is one of them i suppose
i see your point,I can really see him doing Something like this if he was Truly Motivated to end Mobians,Tails is Probably one of few(If not Only) That has a Shot at stopping him at that stage
I genuinely love the fail screen, entirely because it triggers MY fight or flight. First time I saw it, I was ready to throw hands with him if need be, and it's rare that a game does that to me.
Instead of wearing goggles I think tails should be wearing a blind fold. I’d imagine that if tails saw the horrors around him that he would succumb to fear which can get him accidentally killed so he has to rely solely on sense of hearing to even get close enough to attack Straved without going insane. That would explain why in that one section everything has sorta red outline because tails is imagining that what’s around him. Does that makes sense? Hopefully it makes sense.
That actually makes a lot of sense, considering Tails is like, what, 8 years old? He'd probably be traumatized if he even saw the slightest amount of blood, or whatever the hell Eggman has become. He would most definitely fall to his own fear if he saw such a thing. Hell, there's even a fear meter in this song, so Tails definitely is scared of the situation he's gotten into. to be fair i dont know who wouldnt be afraid of such a thing but you get my point
I think this happens just a little after Furnace kills Sonic (maybe by crashing with Sonic and throwing Sonic to a wall). Tails arrives just when Eggman is preparing Sonic for a meal
Starved canonically saves Sonic for special occasions, in this song his left leg is eaten, Starved only picks at him to preserve for special occasions. Also, in Prey he canonically already knows he won, he used the time stones to relive Prey, this is hinted at with the line in Prey: “You don’t even know your fate, hedgehog”
I thought Sonic.exe was creepy, as he isn't a demon, a whole being of his own who just takes the form on Sonic to kill just for the thrill of it. But no. Starved Eggman takes the cake for this. He isn't a demon possessing his body either. He isn't some malware virus corrupting the game and has a motive for what he does. He is a addict waiting and maliciously waiting for the perfect time to strike. He wants to eat every single Mobian known to man and he wont stop until he does so. He doesn't even care that his body is basically rotting from the inside out, no more hair, no more tan human skin; rotten to a red color, he doesn't even have lips anymore. His teeth is constantly shown. He doesn't even bounce or bob with the beat of the music, he's watching *US*.... Staring... Calculating... *Waiting*... Watching for an opening to strike us and eat us basically alive! He even built robots to cook Mobian meat as soon the meat is captured so he can eat it right away! Even went as far as to calculate to when Sonic would turn his head to insult and nag at Eggman so Furnace could grab him and gut him in that moment. Starved truly creeps me out, no doubt.
What irks me was that because of this, it made Sonic seem totally oblivious to the fact he was no longer staring down good ol' Egghead anymore... he was gazing into the soulless pits of a former man, turned ravenous, killing genius. In other words, Sonic was a big idiot and it slightly annoys me.
@@the40scall90 I am the same way. While Sonic is egotistical and borderline a narcissist, he isn't technically stupid. He isn't oblivious. Like Starved, he's attentive and analytical. Idk why they had to make him stupid in that moment to make him die, kinda a knitpick of mine too.
@@poweredbyb1tchdust Personally. I believe it's partially because Sonic probably did not know Eggman well enough at this time to understand fully the red flags. From what I've heard of the lore of Starved, he was not even aware of Eggman's change until he reached Stardust Speedway: CD is supposed to either be Sonic's second, or third ever fight against him. It's a case of Sonic not being blatantly stupid but instead, not having known his enemy enough prior to understand something was GRAVELY wrong before it was too late. If he had another game or two worth of fighting Robotnik under his belt, the outcome probably would've been tilted in his favor.
@@warriorofthefourthstar1627 Pretty well said. At his core eggman is no idiot, but this isn't an eggman out to subjugate, he's out to kill. He no longer cares if anyone's left alive to see his triumph and it's that shift in focus that makes him so much more dangerous as starved. Sonic himself is no idiot and while he doesn't have the brains that eggman and tails do, he's still quick thinking and quick on his feet so sonic dying in the ways that he did (spike wall/grab by furnace) still comes off as weird even if everything else is factored in.
This song is soo good.Its a true shame that this mod got cancelled especially since this was most of the community's favorite mod,but I feel like its worth it for this mod to be cancelled as long as the devs dont feel any burnt out whatsoever. Edit:Yooo how in the hell did I get this much likes,well aint complainin thx
I find it interesting how they represent the fight or flight reaction, like in this part where the screen reddens and darkens 2:04 referencing Tunnel Vision (loss of peripheral vision) focusing on the target and Sonic. Another interesting part is the red and black colors that current increase fear and anxiety.
If it makes you feel any better, the file name for Sonic is: Sonicisfuckingdead.png Also is anyone gonna talk about how perfectly tail's tail is animated?
Makes me sad how no one ever talks about how crazy hard this song bangs, prey was exciting but this song is intense as fuck. Also very unique sounding for fnf, best song to come from 3.0 other than hellbent. Also yeah its months later and I listen this song like daily, I really like it that much.
All songs composed by Churgney Gurgney can be considered "very unique sounding for fnf", you should definitely check out his other songs, not just the ones he made for Vs. Sonic.exe (Perdition, Substantial, Manual Blast and Gotta Go), but also the ones he made for other projects like Trichael (a Lord X song with lyrics and also my favorite song made by him), Legacy, and Rumor (from Friday Night Crunchin')
The scariest thing to me is Eggmans movements. Like who moves like that. He’s so happy with the new lifestyle he has he’s practically taunting Tails basically saying, “Oh look at the little Fox trying to kill me!! You were just a shadow of Sonic and he couldn’t even beat me! You have no chance!!” That’s what scares me most here. He knows he will win he smiled the whole way through almost seeming as if he’s laughing at the effort to defeat him.
If I was tail I would be terrified too mostly because my best friend is dead with his intestines hanging out meanwhile a 6 ft red man basically tells me I’m next
I wonder why Eggman has gone insane from just going on essentially a carnivore diet. Could it be that mobian flesh has some disease that Eggman’s human immune system isn’t able to deal with? Maybe it could just be the fact he’s aware that what he’s doing is morally despite his primal instincts requiring more of the nutrients. This may all be the result of Eggman’s intelligent and animal side clashing, with the animal obviously winning and his human side almost checking out.
There's a detail about this song that i believe it's the best (maybe unintentional) and i haven't seen it mentioned yet, is that as the fear goes up the song speeds up and when the fear bar is full the song slows down again at the end. Which is the same that happens to animals hearts when they are being hunted and catched by a predator, their heart rate increases and when they can't fight or flight they just succumb and accept their faith in a (normally) more calm way, and that is the vibe the song gives me, and it has become one of my top 5 solely based on that.
This song is one of the best in the mod because, It makes you feel like your tails perspective, this song makes you feel like you can be chased at any moment and triggers your flight or fight response.
It's kind of cool as the song goes on you can tell that starved is getting more hungry as the song progresses and as the tempo of the music starts to pick up with like each phase it's pretty cool
Another note I've noticed too as well is at the very end of the song he slows down the tempo on purpose because he feels like he's going to win due to the fact that it looks like tails can't rebound from this
One of the strongest points of Starved among the other .exe beings is the fact that isn't the usual "i'm a dead developer/guy and imma take ghostly possession a cartridge of Sonic lmao". Is a actual bad future timeline when eggman wins. Basically this means that no other iconic character's from Sonic would never existed. Not the rivalry- brotherhood with Knuckles or Shadow, not the time traveling thing with Silver, nothing. Just everything is gone.
i love how tails and starved dont have an idle bop tails doesnt have one because he's mortified starved doesnt have one because he's too busy thinking about the meal he's gonna have (probably)
Starved’s creepypasta is actually amazing, taking place in CD where Bad Futures have been achieved. One of my favourite parts about this creepypasta is that this isn’t something possessing the game, *this is still the normal Sonic CD world.* This actually happened in a timeline of Sonic CD. And when the room goes red, the only things that appear remaining on the screen are: Starved, Tails, *and Sonic.* He isn’t there just as a background piece, that’s still Sonic. People said that it’s still his friend, but this is CD. Sonic the Hedgehog CD takes place BETWEEN Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. Sonic and Tails wouldn’t have even met each other yet. Origins confirms this, too. And something MORE obvious to show it’s CD, this timeline is a *CYCLE.* Starved has all 7 Time Stones, and can restart Sonic dying and Tails fighting Starved INDEFINITELY. Speaking of Sonic… I just realised his glove is not on him. I wondered why he looked wrong, until I looked at his hand. Basically for people who don’t KNOW what the creepypasta is, Robotnik finds a dead flicky and eats it. It tastes “good” so Robotnik decided to make Metal Sonic in this timeline, Furnace. He’s so impatient to get dead flickies for food that he gets Furnace to cook them straight out the furnace. His diet gets so bad that his entire skin turns red, and loses his moustache. Sonic hasn’t seen any animals for miles, RoBUTTnik’s been working overtime… _TARGET SPOTTED._ Sonic races with Furnace until he fakes running out of fuel. Looks like that bucket of bolts shouldn’t have laid off the nitro this time around! Starved has came into the speedway. *You don’t even know your fate, hedgehog…* Sonic does a Super-Peel-Out to get some extra speed. At the end, Sonic is killed. Man, you REALLY like scrambling your own plans don’tch- *SONIC IS DEAD.* I’m not explaining Fight or Flight because it’s this video, but… Tails lost one of his tails, and Starved only has a tiny bit of Sonic for special occasions. Going by lore, Tails survives and still has a slim chance to kill Starved. A slim chance, but still a chance. Going by FNF, Tails dies and most likely ends up like Sonic. Going by canon, it’s up to everyone.
