@@Thewaterspirit57 he's always been like that, have you played Adventure 2? He literally sits in the background for some of the scenes. Unless the story focuses on him hes in the back. Hes been edgy since he was brought in, and has a game that was marketted as edgy. Sega understands just dont use him to his full potential.
@@IAMSONICTH3H3DG3H0G that game was only edgy because of the damn guns. I've played the game, and it's all about Shadow trying to remember his past and purpose
1:00 "Woahhhhh, look at dat Hechhog guh! Tell yi wat, if wes all as fast as Sonique, dere'd be a lo' fewa acciden's on the roed" "Woch wot 'appens when oi deu this" " Wah did yeu poosh?"
In an interview with Shinya Nishigaki, who actually directed Illbleed, Sega actually hated Zodick being in the game, but considering at the time the dreamcast had ended production and the game was most certainly not going to well in sales, they let him get away with it.
NohrPaladin Nope, hence why in my own comment I brought up the hope someone might find the pc/hard drive/dev kit that it’s saved on SF2 on the other hand is the fully completed one Nintendo went back & fixed any remaining bugs in. Illbleed OG Xbox was only 90% complete meaning it could have bugs here & there along with the possibility of the endings not being finished (hell, we don’t know if they redid the voice acting either)
Also, it would actually be impossible now considering Crazy Games (the people behind Blue Stinger & Illbleed) closed their doors when the OG Xbox remakes of both games were 90% complete. Only way it would officially be released to the public now is if someone picked up the IPs & decided to finish the development
Can you give an example that isn't the shadow game? Cause in that he was a confused amnesiac being gaslit by everybody, so of course he'd be a bit off.
@@Shadamyfan-rs8xc Sonic Boom (show or games. Take your pick), Sonic Twitter Takeover, Sonic Generations, Sonic Forces, Need I say anything else? All he is now is "how pathetic" and "silence fool".
@@speedleo29 he says a lot of other stuff, you're just generalizing. Also did you forget that Shadows ONLY real line in Sonic generations is "you've got this, Sonic"? Which is him being supportive of Sonic? I agree that Sonic boom is a terrible representation of him, but the main series (and the takeovers) have been fine, probably because he hasn't appeared enough to be flanderized.
@@Shadamyfan-rs8xc When I mentioned Sonic Generations, I was referring to when he said "Back for more, Sonic? Guess you never learn your lesson". Also I disagree with the Twitter Takeover being fine. All he is in that is "I like the anime with the girl with the scissorblades" and "My favorite food is coffee beans". Shadow was a good character in SA2, Heroes, and 06 but other than that, why bring up mainline Sonic games in general? He didn't have a single good line in Forces. The only thing I remember him doing in that game was calling Infinite "Pathetic" and Kicking a phantom copy. Also, what do you mean by "generalizing his lines"? What clever line has he had since 06? What deep thought-provoking moment has he had? I think he mentioned Maria like a few times in the Twitter takeovers but I don't think that counts. Shadow can be a good character without Maria and the Ark. He WAS a good character even without Maria and the Ark. Please by all means, tell me a good line or moment that he had since the mid 2000's. There is one I can think of in Sonic Twitter Takeover when he talks about the moment when Sonic reached for him before he fell. But that's less a compelling line and more of a verbal flashback. But again, name a good line/moment since the mid 2000s. I'll wait.
@@speedleo29 I think the "back for more" line is because it's a BOSS BATTLE! and the point of Sonic generations is going through sonics past. And what exactly is wrong with him liking kill la kill and coffee beans? Eggman apparently likes Tokyo ghoul, and no one complained about that. Also, this moment in the latest Twitter takeover, where he said that Sonic tried to reach out to save him from falling in SA2, but he brushed him away because he knew he'd take Sonic with him, but he still respected Sonic for trying to save him. You wouldn't see boom shadow say that, now would you?
@@Canolio no I never bothered him about it. Not many people know its him or that he goes there and I think he wants to keep it that way. I only knew he goes there because I recognized the buildings in his vlogs
The reason why Sonic appeared a lot in British shows was because Sonic and Sega was incredibly massive over there in the 90s, even more so than he was in America. The Sega Master System and Mega Drive were very popular systems and both of the Sonic bundles helped sell a great tone of those systems.
By cheat codes he probably means knowing the game by heart to a point where you can dodge all glitches and make the game seem perfectly fonctional, like some score attack videos on youtube, it's like these guys got a finished version of the game or something.
Fun fact: Ryan Drummond is a voice actor in illbleed, he voices Kevin and maybe Zodick though I don’t know if that’s been confirmed. Though it is probable.
@@amazaine8743 I mean, could he? Cybershell is the LORD himself and now that he's back well... I think nick lost 10% of his audience, no offence to nick though love his content but...
@@ibilesfighter3.16 I dont know Game Apoligist and Splash dash were filling the void for me when cybershell was gone.But since he's back theres no point of these channels to me since they dont serve a purpose to people who watched cybershell.
In the MAD TV show, there was also a brief cameo from Bunnie Rabbot from SATAM. I can’t remember which skit it was from but I remember she was in a tournament of some kind. Also I’m surprised you didn’t point out that Lord Boxman from OK KO was a straight homage to Eggman from his inception down to being voiced by Jim Cummings who voiced Robotnik in SATAM and the AoSTH pilot.
The Mad sketch was called the Iron Giant Lady where Bunny Rabbot is battering Chuck Norris (I'm surprised I remember that after so many years, Minus the title), but I hope this helps.
Another thing to note about the Illbleed Sonic cameo, after you beat Zodic, it is revealed (just like a lot of the other bosses in the game) that he was a robot controlled by mechanical engineers with one of them voiced by Ryan Drummond (voice of Sonic in the Dreamcast Era).
Bruh, Zodick was an awesome Sonic cameo I mean, shit... that’s actually how I knew about Illbleed (still sad we never got the OG Xbox remake... 90% before cancellation. Hope someone gets the hands on the storage device it’s on & releases it online someday). Sure, he’s one of the handful of easy bosses (Cashman being the easiest until the endgame optional rematch), but it was a cool lil cameo & was a horror version of Sonic done better compared to a certain creepypasta version of him
I'm one of the few that liked Megas XLR back in the day and I do remember thinking than that Sonic reference was too on the nose, but hey seeing a buff nock-off spindash into a giant robot was pretty cool. I still think that Megas had one of the weirdest finales ever and the time travel stuff was pretty hard to follow.
I like the part at the end, but what's interesting about it is that *he* probably isn't gonna be covering Sonic content for a while. He'll probably do more in the future, but it does give you the opportunity to work towards taking his role as the Sonic loremaster.
Dude I think we can all agree that cybershell will always be the one and only sonic lore master and hes 100,000,000,000X funnier, but is still pretty funny and I subbed
Regarding that MAD show, there's also a skit called the Iron Giant Lady that shows Bunnie Rabbot beating up Chuck Norris for like a split second. Of all the characters to cameo in a mid 2000's show it was weird.
Clicked on this because I saw the Illbleed boss in the thumbnail and had been wondering where it was from for years. Did not know it was that indepth, I figured it was some youtube parody and not a full on boss fight.
I should say this as quite a few people don't know this but the TV show, MAD, is based on the magazine by the same name that got cancelled not too long ago by the heads over at Warner Bros/AT&T. It ran for quite a long time and it heavily focused on parodies of pop culture and pop culture icons no matter what era they came from. The magazine also was the origin for Spy VS. Spy as well which spun off from the MAD magazine. WB and Cartoon Network thought it was a good idea to turn it into a TV show later on to grab new readers for the magazine, but then it failed (and failed hard). Just thought I'd drop that info here, not a big deal or anything.
Hell yes! Now if only we can get someone to find the 90% complete OG Xbox remake & throw it up online! We gotta know if that was the worker’s spine or a spring when his head popped off!
I am so happy somebody else decided to tackle that reference in illbleed. I'll tell you this, the boss fight itself is a little annoying. Mainly just because of the movement, you have to shoot him while grabbing his rings before he does, otherwise he regains the health you took off of him. Otherwise it was a pretty cool nod. It's just too bad that the game itself is so expensive. last I checked it was around $100 or $200. I haven't checked before posting this, but if anybody really likes horror games, you will love this. it's basically if you put a survival horror game with mine sweeper.
One interesting reference to Sonic is in the videogame "Asterix and Obelix XXL2" (Based on the popular French Cartoon/ Comic series Asterix aand Oblelix.) One of the game's enemies is literally dressed up as sonic. This game also has a ton of other references to Mario, Tomb Raider, Rayman, etc.
If Cybershell is back and you not the recreation of him and you sound like some guy named Ls Mark , we know who is the true identity of this guy. This is obviously SpeedSuperSonic of course
The Illbleed character is actually named "Zodic The Hellhog", and he's the demon who rules over Toy Hell where toys go if they're buried with a child who loves them.. Illbleed combines dark and silly pretty well
Nice job, LS- uh I mean SplashDash! I'd say MAD was a mixed bag (well teen me certainly liked it, recording her TV and all that :P) and some parodies worked while others, not so much. Spy VS Spy was always pretty good, and based off the comics from Mad Magazine. I was (and still am) more into MadTV, which did awesome parodies and original content. I especially agree with your opening that you're popular when people reference/parody you, whether you're famous, infamous, and regardless of if you like it or not.
Sonic Forces is a great parody of Sonic and all his friends, bad sonic games, edgey fan stories and an OC self insert plot. ...Wait...What do you mean it's *NOT* a parody!?
Here in Europe, we have a comic series called Asterix, and this series also has video games. In one of these video games, they parody a lot of other video game series, which included an enemy type that is based on Sonic. It is pretty much a Roman legionary with Sonic's hair and holding two golden rings in his hands.
I know it's way more obscure than any of these on this list, but a cool easter egg in Jet Set Radio is a character named Garam wears a necklace that has a skull on it. The skull was actually designed to be Sonic's skull
In CrossCode (an absolute hidden gem of a game) there's a quest boss known as the Blue Hedgehag. Like other hedgehags, it rolls around at high speed. Unlike the others, it drops a gold ring and a consumable chilli dog on defeat.
