In 2024, an explosion of StF play brought a new generation of players into the fore, and one of them would choose to do something nobody in the game had ever bothered to do before: compete exclusively as Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotonic, a character that you can only play if your opponent agrees to it.
This is the story of EIZL, STF's only Eggman main.
This video contains footage courtesy of @polymathfullstreams4530 , @alexbtruths , @joshuapacman and K.O.S. It also contains images created by K.O.S. and TiniestTurtles. Big thanks to EIZL, MagusNikki , and SolarFlare for talking to me for this piece.

Pulling out Tails to counter an Eggman. If the stage had been Death Egg's Eye, I would've told people this was Sonic Adventure 2. More seriously, nice job overall. Most of my exposure to STF was single player via the Gems Collection (mostly trying to get Super Sonic), so these videos about the competitive scene are definitely interesting.

@luckyworm_9453 4 месяца назад

As a HUGE Sonic fan it's honestly incredible to see such a forgotten game by the general audience like Sonic the goddamn Fighters make a resurgence in popularity. This is super cool to see! I never thought a competitive scene for this game would form but I guess here we are! Very educational, well structured and just generally entertaining video, INCREDIBLE job to everyone involved! To be a competitive player requires so much hard work and dedication, it's honestly so admirable!! I might actually keep up with the game's competitive scene, this is just so interesting!!

@wusstunes 4 месяца назад

Hey! Potentially but honestly if I'm not obsessed with something already it's hard to do this kind of thing. If I end up really liking Sonic Riders maybe, as of now I've never really cared for it personally, but have watched a few videos about the scene. It seems neat, but not sure what I could offer that the Akshon Esports video hasn't.

I’m curious, what makes Honey uncontroversial, and why did they have her banned to begin with? Was she considered Broken too, or was it just a blanket ban on secret characters?

@DeitySkullKid 4 месяца назад

Honey was not playable in the original arcade release, and was added back into the Xbox version She's at the same power level as all other normal characters, I think she was just not allowed because until the Xbox arcade port she was completely unplayable She's uncontroversial probably because she just wasn't in the original game, but completed, it's basically just an extra character

@wusstunes 4 месяца назад

It was just a blanket ban because ranked mode doesn't allow secret characters, and most early tournaments to my understanding mirrored the settings used in ranked mode. (Best of 5 rounds, no barrier regen etc.) Functionally she's basically a hybrid of Knuckles and Amy. Very good character, but not the best.
