The most infamous level in Sonic Frontiers. In this video I talk about stage 1-2 in sonic frontiers and how out of place and weird it is that the S rank on it is so much harder than all the other levels in the game.

for context, the original windmill isle act 2 also had really tight S rank requirement this level pays homage to the first boost level in the series.

@ChorusKids Год назад

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Windmill Isle Day Act 1, not Act 2. Act 2 isn't that hard to S rank. Act 1 is one of the hardest base game S ranks (at least if you don’t know the intended route). Act 1 is similar to 1-2 in Frontiers in that it has several red herrings that make S ranking it harder then it should be. At the start of the stage, if you use both of the boosts ramps at the start and then go backwards to collect most of the rings on the ground, then continue as normal, you'll make it no problem.

I cannot BELIEVE they made such an insanely hard challenge right at the start of the game. It honestly was exciting because I was playing in Hard mode and wondered if the levels would get even more challenging as they went along.

What's crazy abou this level is how early it is in the game. 1-2 was the second level I tried to S rank and when I kept failing, I was just under the impression that achieving S Rank for all future levels was going to be equally as hard. I had this thought until I kept unintentionally getting S Rank easily on every other level in the first island.

@Legoguy9875 Год назад

For me, this level perfectly demonstrates one of the main issues I have with the cyberspace levels as a whole. Why is the homing attack so inconsistent? I could understand adding a delay to the homing attack if the devs felt that it was too easy to perform one when you didn't mean to, but A: why does it take eons for the game to let me attack another enemy following a homing attack, and B: WHY is that delay not applied to the balloons!? It takes half a century to chain two enemies, but I can blaze through five harmless balloons in less than half of that time. Such a strange design choice, because simply removing that delay would make getting S-rank more achievable without being required to learn speedrun tech (tech that no other level encourages you to use since getting S-rank is child's play by comparison)

@Onaterdem Год назад

Other things, such as: - There is no combat in Cyber Space, so why doesn't the boost hurt enemies? You have to homing attack each enemy one-by-one, and as you said, the homing attack rebound animation takes a CRAZY long time, the longest in the series' history, so it becomes extremely annoying after a while. - In every previous game, these worked without problems: Why doesn't the air boost reset once you hit a dash ring? Why doesn't the stomp reset after you bounce off a bounce pole? They added the ability to homing attack after air boosting, which is fine and feels good, but they removed the ability to reset your air boost/stomp once you hit a midair object, which existed in all previous games, and it feels awful. You can no longer boost into a dash ring, then boost once again when you come out of it, which you need in places like 3:09. (Notice how he air boosted before hitting the pulley, and he couldn't air boost afterwards. It should've reset.)

@PsychoticWonders0725 Год назад

My introduction to the homing attack was Sonic 4 Episode 2 when I was just getting into Sonic back in late 2019 (thanks first Sonic movie design for going viral and grabbing my 11 year old self's attention in a way Detective Pikachu could never do) and I didn't mind the delay on the homing attack. In fact, I didn't even know it was a delay. It just got me into a rhythm that was nice to pull off. In mid 2020 when I got Sonic Adventure 1 on a mobile emulator, I used the homing attack in the same "rhythmic" way I used it in 4 Episode 2 since I always felt spamming the attack always sent me off the target of the enemies, as did SA2 when I got that in December. Nowadays, I do spam the attacks faster than I used to, but never to where it became button mashing, and I do know now that homing attacks in the Sonic 4 duology was just a lazy way to pad out the game time, but I always felt there was some rhythm in the delay, and didn't mind that I wasn't going fast then, because after that chain, I would start going fast again because of the way Dimps designed the stages. So yeah, the delay didn't bother me in 4, but I DO have yet to experience a homing attack delay system in a 3D game, since there's only so many games a 14 year old who wasn't all that into gaming when he was younger can get, and I can imagine why a delay in THOSE games can get annoying.

@jellymatsuryuka6853 Год назад

@@Onaterdem the reason the boost doesn't hurt enemies in this game is because Sega wanted to get rid of the "boost to win" formula people have been complaining about nonstop

@Goremize Год назад

Because the game lacks momentum, you LOSE speed homing attacking. Its there for the platforming but its so confusing when you lightspeed dash through some rings then Sonic stops mid air and grinds to a halt? WHY? Keep that momentum! We need a mod for a game that adds Momentum it will make things so much smoother even if it makes the platforming harder

@ShadowTheHedgehogCZ Год назад

You briefly hit a wall at the beginning. I would have already restarted :D The hardest part for me was to skip the enemies. When you want to do the homing attack on the thingy that pulls you up, the target always changes on the enemy. Didn't know you could skip it with boost. I do however skip with boost the top platform after these enemies. Yeah, it makes you fall into the pit. But at the last second, you get homing attack at the balloon, so you can proceed.

This level tricks you with elements you think would make the level easier to S rank but you have to go against the usual-also I learned from someone how to take advantage of the stomp to immediately get back to the ground from the air to be able to boost quickly again.

This level is easy to s rank if you just take the bottom path in the beginning, which points out one of the things that threw me and a lot of other people off: This game does not always reward you with a faster route if you stay on the upper levels, which goes against all my instincts from previous sonic games. It means you have to actually try the other paths to see what's best. Haven't decided if I prefer it this way or not yet.

@sputnikmann6541 Год назад

There's actually a couple mods for the PC version that makes the mission requirements harder. One only affects the rank times and is a lot more hardcore (you _need_ to use magnet dashes and speedrunner-level skips to get the S) including making the 1-2 requirement harder, the other affects both the rank times and the ring requirements and is less hardcore on the times (you just need to optimize your route, no magnet dashes or special tech needed) and doesn't touch 1-2. I use the latter, because it brings all the other missions in line with 1-2 and encourages replaying the level at least one more time to get the ring requirements (I think 1-2 has something like 180+ rings or something like that).

@strubberyg7451 Год назад

I feel there are three possible explanations for this difficulty peak: 1) Inconsistent development - Either Sonic game started with the mindset of making S ranks hard, dropped that off when they saw how hard it is to make those stages, and forgot to come for it later to fix it, or they wanted to create a loose time first and this is one of the levels they could come back to fix (1-1 is also kinda hard, so it tracks) 2) Audience reception - They want to see what people prefer in the future, if having a hard stage is worth it or not. 3) Tradition - I remember both Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces had some specific "Complete the first level in a ridiculous time" trophy. Don't recall if Mania had one too, but saw in the comments that Unleashed has a first level peak. 1-2 is kinda the first real level, since you're kinda thrown into 1-1... Kinda wished the video would try to be more substantial than "level hard", but people can surely relate to it...

This level proved how easy players had it with easy S ranks like in Generations. Even on the more lenient cyberspace levels it was still a challenge. 1-2 is the only one I had to play perfectly, but on most of the others I was able to correct 1 mistake and still get S rank.

@crasyman101 Год назад

In the beginning the bottom is actually faster due to the amount of boost pads on the floor compared to all the time you waste floating in the air on the top. Also on the second set of rails after you switch back to the middle rail it's actually faster to fall off the rail boost and then jump to catch the rail again.

nah man the final stage should’ve been something like sonic unleashed difficulty

@seamino8329 Год назад

Still easier then beating sonic generations green hill 2-D in one minute for a trophy.

@Retrosparks Год назад

I gonna be honest, the level wasn’t that hard, like idk if I missed something but it really wasn’t that bad for me

@kimromero4497 Год назад

I wouldn't call the game amazing lol it was fun, but that was about it

@pvzgamer9517 Год назад

54.90 was my record! Me and my cousins and brothers tried so many times to beat it and I finally got it after 2 weeks lol.

Oh god the nightmares are coming back over this level! I just got rid of them! I managed mine in 54.97 & I never looked back!

@AsianRailgun Год назад

Some of the later cyberspace levels can also be annoying to S rank if you don't know the route for it.

@SonicSol Год назад

nice clickbait, it worked. The stage is literally Windmill Isle act 2 from sonic unleashed.

@spirefactsyt5559 Год назад

Bro I'm sorry but if you think this was a difficult level to get an S-Rank, you are down bad 💀

@benmcconville7791 Год назад

me who did it with over 5 seconds to spare: 😅

@IkeTheBot Год назад

I loved the challenge that the S rank requirement brought in this level. Reminded me of the times when I would try to S rank the levels in the unleashed project mod for sonic generations

@danmeldrum312 Год назад

3-3 was hard for me to S Rank as well.

@hfactor66 Год назад

This S-Rank right here teaches you how to speedrun. It’s a fun stage cuz there isn’t some secret faster route you can take to skip a big chunk of the stage, you just have to get down to work and really optimize your run. The tricks I used at the start to give myself a buffer was when going for the spring path at the start, I actually steered right around the spring at the start to reach the straightaway with the dash panel rather than jumping over the spring, cuz you preserve the momentum from the hoop that way. As well, for close together platforms, it’s actually faster to run off platforms and double jump to the next one rather than jumping towards it from the edge of the platform and losing your momentum. From there, run past the enemies, zip through the balloons, and sprint to the finish. I finished comfortably with a 52, and if I wanted to try and learn M-Speed tech, I could take it lower. The funniest bit is when I played this live, and one of my mates said that you couldn’t steer around the spring at the start, that it was scripted, then I just go and do it and he was like “WHAT” XD good times.

Heck yes! The game is awesome!

@UltimateTS64 Год назад

I'm actually playing it rn, my friend and I have been in a competition to improve our times and rn, we've got it down to 46 seconds. Neither of us are speedrunners, and my friend isn't even that big of a Sonic fan, but he's really gotten into the competition and it's been fun having someone to push me to improve

@RY3NO Год назад

That’s awesome! Good luck on beating your friend 😎

@UltimateTS64 Год назад

@@RY3NO I have, as of rn I got it down to 43 seconds

@SoniKwolf1498 Год назад

I saw the second level and assumed that the rest of the levels were going to be the same with very strict times on my first playthrough, but it does not seem to be the case in most later levels.

@starhedgehog 8 месяцев назад

It took me maybe over 50 tries, but with RU-vid’s help I was about to get S rank with less than 2 seconds to spare yesterday.

@razzlarence7368 Год назад

1-2 was so much fun man, and having it in the early game was great bc I didn't mind grinding it out

@galladegamerletsplays День назад

when I finally beat this time, I was at 54.99 seconds

@AddyLovestar Год назад

1-2 is probably the best level in the game. The S-Rank time encourages you to actually understand the layout intimately, which is what S-Rank times USED to be for

@YophiGames Год назад

I just played 1-2 the other day. It was tough, but I took the bottom path in the beginning and shaved off about 3 seconds. That cleared me.

@dillonwright13 Год назад

The levels in Sonic Frontiers were much less torturous than the special stages from Classic Sonic games and the red ring collecting in previous 3D Sonic games, except for the ones in the final island. I hope Sega finds a way to implement the open-zone world map gameplay with the abundant amount of level themes Sonic Adventure had.

@digitalcyborg20 Год назад

It's funny how the hardest level is also the one with the best music

@3godzilla3 Год назад

This level took me like, 3 tries to S-rank. Then again, I've played Unleashed and Generations a million times, so the boost gameplay is far from foreign to me. Boggles my mind though to see people genuinely struggling with this and taking hours to S rank it. 😅

@Terminal_Apotos Год назад

All the casuals playing this game think is some insane thing when everyone who’s played a Sonic game other than Generations and Forces know this is how they’re supposed to be 😂

@TyphonFX Год назад

For 1-2 idk if I’m the only one who found it or not but if you take the top route (at the end) you can jump onto the monument thing and skip the thing that pulls sonic up (idk the name lol) and directly boost into the end,

@LunaticTheGame Год назад

I literally just beat the level about a minute ago and the moment I open RU-vid to take a breather this video pops onto my recommend page. What're the odds.

@tg-storyunfold3031 Год назад

Funny, all I did was take the Bottom for the first half, and boost repeatedly. I was a little mad at myself for figuring that out on my 12th try

@Saimonarts Год назад

Level 1-2 set up my expectations that the other levels would be this hard to complete as well, kinda disappointed how that was not the case, but man this level really asks you to pay attention on the fastest route.

@Denzel_Greene Год назад

I got a 53 sec run. My strat was to actually run the entire bottom, which is faster than booting along the top, ignore all enemies and you barely have enough time
