Sonic Riders - Metal City

[MultiTHEMASTER666]

YEA I CAN GET TO THE SECOND FLOOR IN THE LAST RAMP HOW DO YOU DO IT HELP

[Overhazard]

@MultiTHEMASTER666 Well, if you can get there, why would you need my help?

[MultiTHEMASTER666]

@Overhazard oops a error i write can its i cant but im already getting on the 2 floor

[MultiTHEMASTER666]

sounds like I can jump higher

[StealthMaster5k]

i hate that moment where you get a Rank X trick but that annoying omachao keeps saying "oh he/she failed the landing!!!"

and im like "oh and omachao has no life and is a dumba**!!!"

[xavier19522]

@StealthMaster5k well.....he is just a robot chao...:P

[minecrafter817]

wat board is that



[Overhazard]

@minecrafter817 I believe that's the Blue Star.

[Dman7550]

how did i get from crash to sonic???

[RingoHero]

Awesome race dude......man Omochao is so annoying XD Had a lot of fun with this

[StealthMaster5k]

I was beast at this game, tricks, secrets, keeping first place forever, ability combo-ing (thats like grind + fly, etc.), i would own u guys in this game if i met u :D bad thing is, i havent played for a while (im not sure if i posted a first one)

[Janjan767]

i remeber my bro playin this game and he hit tails and tht made tails first and sonoc second lol

[DanTheMan33088]

I don't understand why this game is so underrated, it looks fun to me

[Atjme]

what's that shortcut C.S. for when you do a diagonal trick?

[Overhazard]

@Atjme C.S.? What does that stand for?

[Atjme]

@Overhazard well, I want to know that too. It appears in the down right corner of the screen when you do the trick on the first ramp. It says 'C.S. 180°', meaning that you managed to turn 180 degrees diagonally. The grade you get is measured by that. If you turn forward, it says 'F.F.', probably meaning front flip, R.F. meaning right flip and so on. But I have no idea what C.S. could mean.

[AnimeC0NAN]

I CAN NEVER GET TO THE SECOND FLOOR ON THE LAST RAMP.

HOW DO YOU DO IT?!

[Overhazard]

@AnimeC0NAN You need to do a long jump, if I remember correctly. Well, either that or a high jump. To do a long jump, perform a trick as normal, but hold down. For a long jump, hold up.

[a13x1547]

@AnimeC0NAN hold the the control stick down to jump high and hold it forward to go long

[walliice]

Expert

[9TLS]

Excellent control of the gear, plus you have good timing with the power jumps.

[haunterandgengar]

what's this board? And what are the board's abilities?

[Overhazard]

@haunterandgengar I believe I explained it in the description.

[haunterandgengar]

@Overhazard no you didn't you only talk about the track and the HQ stuff

[Overhazard]

@haunterandgengar Oh, I didn't? I think I used the Blue Star here. It's Sonic's default board with no special properties.

[haunterandgengar]

@Overhazard no it's a red look-like board

[Overhazard]

@haunterandgengar Then I don't remember what I used.

[rossen2000]

@haunterandgengar i think this can be Power Gear,Powerful Gear and Gambler

[haunterandgengar]

hey overhazard what are your views in the sonic free riders game and are you going to buy that game?

[Overhazard]

@haunterandgengar No, I don't plan on doing so because I don't have a Kinect. Didn't you ask me this already?

[haunterandgengar]

@Overhazard no i'm totaly sure than i didn't ask you this before

[supersyrup97]

they brought this stage back in the new sonic riders! :D its a little different but its extremely similar 2 the original

[coolmancool29]

fav character is Tails

[coolmancool29]

Reminds me of playing my own completed game. i'M SO SAD i accidentaly lost my disc

[Trtehpwnz0r1]

this vid brought me back several yrs... ahhhhh, the good old days.

[dannihot]

I loved this game but hated the voice over in your ear every 2 seconds!

[juanariful]

@dannihot you can make the chao shut up in options

[hazelcrisp]

@juanariful yes go to ruels

[FirePrincess917]

What the hell, did Knuckles attack you near the end?

[Overhazard]

@FirePrincess917 I believe he did.

[Tails1221]

dude how'd u jump so high on the ramps?

[Overhazard]

@Tails1221 If you hold up or down when getting ready to go off the ramp, you'll gain more air time. Holding up makes your jump higher; holding dow makes your jump longer.

[Tails1221]

@Overhazard in my game, holding down makes your jump longer and holding down makes your jump higher

[Overhazard]

@Tails1221 What's the difference here? (It's supposed to be the same for all games.)

[shadowizcool]

@Overhazard 0:36 what did Omochao say?

[Overhazard]

@shadowizcool "Sonic displayed a first-class trick."

[sonicvids111]

Is it me or Sonic is using Black shot: Shadow's Board?

[KootiePieOfficial]

@sonicvids111 that board doesnt come out in this game until zero gravity

[chaogardenlove]

i'm going to buy this game for my gamecube soon

[Genesis6100]

The boards look a LOT different in sonic riders zero gravity plus there is no commentator for the races.

[MacromHero3]

whats the name of the Board ?

[Overhazard]

@MacromHero3 I believe this is the Blue Star or the Blue Star 2. I can't remember.

[theskyshed]

Omg that doesn't look like Blue Star!

[thezombiedoll]

Great playing!

Got this game yesterday, but it's got no instruction manuel :( How do you get those really high jumps? Is it just timing, or do you have to hold down the jump button for a set amount of time or something?

5 stars btw :)

[Overhazard]

You need to jump off the ramp at the very last instant while holding up on the control stick. To do a high jump, you do the same, except hold down instead.

[supermanththoee]

your pretty good! 5 stars!

[Szuszuro]

It is not 'Blue star', normal Sonic's board. It is the Speed Balancer!

[hazelcrisp]

@Szuszuro sonic regurlar board is blue star not speed balancer

[Overhazard]

This is the Blue Star, Sonic's normal board.

[dbzgtvaf]

@Overhazard Nah dude that's the speed balancer.

[Overhazard]

@dbzgtvaf Okay, I'll take your word for it. I forgot what I used.

[dbzgtvaf]

@Overhazard Glad you're not someone who freaks out from correction, very respectable. By the way nice gameplay.

[Lorduron]

You wasn't that good what I expected but you still won.

[Henderson155]

Metal city is one of my top 3 faves

1.red canyon

2.metal city

3.sand ruins

[cecoz007]

what console are you playing?

[Overhazard]

This is for the Gamecube, but I was playing it on a Wii.

[fireflame625]

hey overgarzard can u give me tips on stuck on this metel city

[Overhazard]

This is the first course. Don't give up; you'll get better each time you race. Maybe take a break or so if you can't beat it in an hour.

That being said, the computer players in this game are permanently stuck on Very Hard. Once you can conquer Metal City, you can finish all of the other courses.

[Henderson155]

the cars *from back* kind of look like the  Acura/Honda NSX :/

[samjoelego13]

the music sounds so much like F-Zero, its unbelievable..

[Overhazard]

Although it plays more like Kirby Air Ride. I suppose Sonic Riders is what happens if F-Zero GX and Kirby Air Ride had an illegitimate child.

[XSonictheH]

This game and its sequel are really underrated because of the controls. Sure the learning curve is a bit big but this game is pretty good once you get used to the controls. These games are actually fun once you get the hang of it.

[abridgedfan]

I played this game once. I rented it from a store near by my house and I gave up on it really quick. There was no instruction manual, no instruction whatsoever on how to play the game. I somehow beat the first level and moved on to the river level with tails. SUCKAGE because tails would occasionally fall off her board and I didn't know how to get her back on it.

[Overhazard]

Tails is a boy. Miles "Tails" Prower is his full name.

The instruction manual for Sonic games tend to be a very big help, since they tend to have complicated controls.

[DJ4Miggy]

Hey, Ophie.

Have you noticed that this stage looks a lot like "Grand Metropolis"?

(Stage 3 in Sonic Heroes)

[Overhazard]

Yeah, I've seen the connection. Sonic has more recently changed styles to a more "real world" look, so it's hard to imagine places like this and Grand Metropolis in the same world as Empire City or Spagonia.

[richy114p]

i still hav snowbord kids and a 64 that ACTUALY werks!!!!! istill play it

[yuna359]

I love Ulala ^_^ "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" LOL

[dalandb4time]

Nice race! =3

Did you know you can make your jumps longer in diagonal ramps (like the one after the beginning) by pushing the D-Stick forward and make your jumps higher on vertical jumps (like the one before the finish) by pulling the D-stick backwards?

[Overhazard]

That's how it worked in Snowboard Kids, and I'd have reasoned that's how it works here.

For some reason though, I didn't think about that. It'd certainly help my future races.

[CosmicHope]

AHHH I remember Snowboard Kids XD

that was a fun game ^^

[espeonofgrace]

this would had wotrked brilliantly with the wiiboard

[ShadowDaPk]

no, it really wouldn't. The controls get touchy and overresponsive.

[Jwvermillion]

Great run and funny finish at the end. :D It so reminds me on the Egg Factory that I rolled over Tails, whose was in last place meaning that I double lap them, as I finished the course.

If I'm not mistaken from my old records, I finished it around a little over 2 mins. Light Board for the win with me.

[Overhazard]

The Light Board is indeed a very powerful board to use.

It's also pretty unusual among racing games that computer players take shortcuts the way they do here. Knuckles got ahead of Sonic by taking the upper path at the very end.

[Jwvermillion]

Well it's EASY to access those paths since there's a certain trick that you can do to get to them much more easier than timing it perfectly. I wonder if you know about this trick? If you don't know how to do it I'll be happy to give it to you since the game isn't so hard.

[Overhazard]

Nah, I was getting back to the game after a few years of not playing it. I'm more accustomed to it now.

[Sly88Frye]

o man, i miss that game. so much fun! its a unique racing game indeed. i preferred using Dr Robotnik myself. his bike dominates and also since he is a power type his short cuts are easier to take.

[BigKlingy]

This reminds me a lot of F-Zero, exacpt F-Zero probably controls better.

On of the common complaints made about this game is: why does Sonic need a hoverboard? he'd be able to race just as well on foot.

[Overhazard]

They're the rules of the competition, I suppose. You don't enter a bobsled competition without a bobsled, after all.

[krawzking]

that game looks awesome

[kingkillerluigi2]

i luvd this game it was 1 of the only good new sonic games of this time

[WECENANUFF]

This game was completely boring.

[kingkillerluigi2]

aww it wasnt that boring i thought it was pretty cool

[DarkRacerDryBones]

geez omochao is really annoying...........his voce kinda kills the game for me, but im good at tuning things out! in fact i didnt realize that he was there until the replay! lol

[TamrielTerror2]

I remeber this game! I used to set all the records with Cream. Really fun game.

[snowyarticuno]

That's a lot of rings in your end ring total at the end there, take it you played this game to 100% completion?

I believe some of the later boards were extremely expensive, yeah?

[Overhazard]

Yes, I have. I have every board and everything unlocked.

[donovantx8]

Now this is an epic game nice to see you playing one of the better psuedo-racing games out there.

[auroradafox]

Which board are you using?

I haven't played this game in so long, I barely remember any of the boards...

[Overhazard]

This is the Speed Balancer, if I have the name right.

[Jwvermillion]

Correct, it's the Speed Balancer. High on everything except cornering, as it said it works very well on straight roads.

[MichaelBraynon]

LOL

2:37 BOOM!! HEADSHOT!!

[CDub7888]

Eh, this track is kinda slow and short to me. If you're doing these in order, than the next one provides much more of a show to me.

[Overhazard]

Well, I'm alternating between the Heroes and the Babylon Rogues tracks, so Night Chase is next.

[PokemonPearluser]

kool this ones my fav

i have this 4 ps2

[TheOneAmani]

I really enjoyed this game. The commentary by omochao was a nice touch I thought, even if it is a bit annoying.

[Overhazard]

It sometimes gets on my nerves, but it wouldn't be the same without Omochao doing the announcing.

[Breludicolo]

Sonic is gaining momentum!

Knuckles is gaining momentum!

Sonic is gaining momentum!

Look at knuckles ride that turbulence!

Look at Jet ride that turbulence!

Look at Ulula ride that turbulence!

Even more repetitive than the pokmon announcer, IMO :P

[Overhazard]

I just tune it out most of the time. I keep it on for laughs.

[kingkillerluigi2]

very true

[themaninthemiddle21]

You should play as one of the hidden characters.

[Overhazard]

I'll do that for the later tracks.
