Rivals of Aether Workshop Showcase: Sonic the Hedgehog! 

10:31 Goated reference. Easily my favorite interaction in the comics

This may not mean nothing but I love your intro. Sonic battle is mad under-rated

I love everything about this, the Boost mechanic, moves inspired by Sonic Advance and Sonic Battle, the insta-shield n-air, it's all great.

He’s so flashy and dynamic! Definitely one of my favourites, only held back by the bias towards Adventure era/Advance stuff. I’m especially a fan of his Boost mechanic, Up Special and Trick- those are GREAT!

You can go Dark by using the Fake Chaos pallete, as your Boost meter now transforms you. You can go Hyper by starting the fight as Super and equipping the Chaos Emeralds buddy to transform again.

Here are some Easter Eggs related to certain Palettes. Palette #16, ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION 000E0X0E0, is not as advertised in either his regular or Super Sonic palettes. Rather, it's a reference to multiple Sonic.exe creepypastas (note the three letters in between all those zeroes), with the initial palette being based on Lord X, before he switches to a more stereotypical Sonic.exe palette in-game- he has a unique starting pose using the initial palette. Curiously, he is also the only Sonic Palette to _never_ use Super Sonic's spritework- even if you transform using the Chaos Emeralds Buddy, Rune M or select the Super Sonic Palette, he will retain normal Sonic's spritework. Speaking of, Palette 16 also has a unique mini face-icon for at the end of a battle, different from all the other versions. Palette #20, False Chaos and Rage, is unique in that you cannot select the Super Sonic Palette with him. Rather, whenever he enters boost mode (or transforms, if you're using Rune M or the Chaos Emeralds buddy), his spritework will change to that of Super Sonic, as he's based off of the Dark Super Sonic seen in Sonic X. Palette #21, It's him, has a unique sound effect for performing tricks off of landed hits, that being the taunt sound effect from Pizza Tower. This makes sense, considering that said palette is referencing Snick from Pizza Tower. Uniquely to Palette #0, Blue Blur (The default), if you use his Super Sonic Palette and then transform using the Chaos Emeralds Buddy, he will become Hyper Sonic. The other Palettes that can choose to play as Super Sonic will instead merely get Hyper Sonic's rainbow-coloured aura (EXCEPT the exe palette, which instead has its color locked on whatever color the aura was when Sonic finished transforming). This is also possible if you equip both Rune M and the Chaos Emeralds Buddy, then transform using the Emeralds' Double Jump first (which will fail to turn Sonic into Super Sonic), then Rune M's taunt to transform. Then, you can use Rune M's taunt to transform _again_ into Hyper Sonic. Lastly, a tip: Sonic can actually get crazy distance from his up special! First, you use his up special, then use your down special into the rainbow ring, which will fling you further into the air. From there, Sonic can also perform a trick during the ascent's animation to get even more additional airtime.

i'm glad you like the mod! thanks for showcasing it! 😄

what the hell, the character has a lot of references!! also damn, this is how you make a damn good move set without being just boring kicks and punches like in smash

Seeing Super Sonic Vs. Eggman really felt like a Sonic Battle sequel. Really cool.

This should have been the ssbu sonic

The choas skin is named big drip 10/10 best aether mod.

Finally a good fucking sonic that isnt speed stat boosted to hell

"I grow stronger with every second!" -Sonic

Better sonic than the one we got in smash

hell yeah! ive been waiting for someone to make a video about this character since it came out :]

I like your intro, it's simplistic but I love Sonic Battle so much so I appreciate it. This also looks fun

Holy crap this is smooth! If Sega could do it well, a sonic platform fighter would be sick.

Fun fact: there are 2 types of super sonic in this character, 1 is the skin which is just cosmetic & the other is an abyss rune which actually buffs sonic when he transforms, adds a rings mechanic, makes opponents drop rings by hitting them & makes you lose 1 per second as super sonic, i wonder if by combining both type of super sonic if you turn into hyper sonic though

Would've been nice to have a Hyper Sonic pallet for Super Sonic where he flashes colors. Eh, can't win them all I guess. Hope you do other Sonic characters in the future.

the animations are so CLEAN!!

This is absolutely one of the most beautiful Sonic mod for Rivals of Aether. I love all Heroes references 😍😍

Linklight will like this mod so much as more than me. I like sonic + sprites and moveset EPIC!

Love the name references in his alternate colors, very cool

Blud got instant karma at 15:01 💀

This is Sick af one of my favourite looking ones yet, But I feel like Super Sonic should always be in the "boost" state considering hes yaknow Super Sonic On top of changing his up special to maybe a flying boost upwards since Super can fly and doesnt need a rainbow ring.

This looks sick!! Also it would be cool if u added the option to switch between the other english sonic voice actors

These sprites for all these Sonic characters are some of my favorite ever

Finally someone made a good ROA sonic

YES YES THEY DID THEY MADE THE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG MOD TYSM GUYS!!!

Didnt think theyd reference spark as a skin but im here for it

this looks pretty sick, idk how i feel about the gradual increase in speed for movement tho. but other than that you've done a great job, keep up the work (nice sonic battle intro reference btw)

Now this is awesome

Gotta love that exe skin they even maked a special inyro for him what a nice mod :v

i love this sonic

I love how his hand does a figure 8 on his forward strong

This is so cool

I absolutely love the fact that you referenced Scourge, Lilac, and Spark in the pallets menu! Wait, what if you could actually include those characters into the game?

A 2000s inspired Sonic with Sonic eagle? That's a -2 for sure.

muchas gracias

I kinda hope you woulda shown the insperation for the color change alts as well. i got most of them but a good handful had me confused.

10:46 *PURPLE HOG*

Got more of a completed moveset than smash sonic. This is what i wish he had

ngl this kinda reminds me of smash remix sonic mostly cuz you can be super sonic with the same moveset

I know Sonic Frontier moves when I see them, cause I have unlocked all of them, and have the Sonic Adventure 2 Shoes.

LETS GOOOOO I FINALLY FOUND A WAY FOR RIVALS MODS TO WORKYESSS!!

FINALLY!!!!

Finally, a Sonic that has a bounce attack as it's down special

He got an update to make him compatible with the Chaos Emeralds Buddy, so now he can go Super Sonic

Wooooow i like that

This video was awesome I would love if u could do a silver the hedgehog mod

Welp I just found my new favorite rivals of aether mod

For pallets I can't go past #15 is there a way to fix that?

finally

Request Battle: Sonic The Hedgehog VS Peppino Spaghetti

Apparently sonic has 2 super sonics, the costume you used & an actual super sonic transformation from 1 of the abyss runes But i wonder if using the transformation version while in the costume version would be hyper sonic🤔

10:41 A normal Sonic rivals of aether mod

Everytime I see videos like this it makes me sigh knowing how lackluster his moveset actually is

Wait i got a question how do you get the exe skin

Long Time no see

12:12 why do you don't maked he a Dark Sonic?

Plz idk what you need but I need you to make a shadow one 👾it has to be done there hasn’t been a shadow one in so long

I wish I have a gague on my hud.

Hope we get a frontiers sonic soon cause these sonic mods are getting good

This moveset in ssf2

bro this is better than smashes sonk

I genuinely wished you showed the illegal instruction skin

Let’s gooo sonic number 12532627525637256274 is now playable

Hi guys I downloaded this mod today and for some reason I can't select any pallete past the 8th one Any ideas?

I wish the super Lord X alt made him the real Lord X. Would've been more fitting.

While I love the mod overall, I was kinda disappointed there's absolutely nothing referencing frontiers, no cyber sonic skin, no sage skin, no super sonic 2/full power super sonic, nothing. I even would've settled for something like different attacks when playing as super sonic that are from frontiers...

No Sonichu skin? 0/10
