Sonic.EXE: Confronting Yourself (Snow's Take) Version 2 [MOD UPDATE & DOWNLOAD]

thats going into my "bangers to listen on loop" playlist 🔥🔥

3:01 This is so cool

Its so nice to see versions of Sonic actually beating any version of EXE. Usually it's a dark story with them but there are a few moments here and there where it actually has a happy ending. Whether or not Sonic actually beat him this time or just scared him off, either way very cool to see

That mocking is definitely ENTIRELY within sonics personality and I love that. He wasn’t serious, he was just his normal self.

Imagine a Sonic game where he's having to deal with EXE, or at least a spiritual successor of it. Having to run through levels avoiding him or those he's corrupted. It's literally only at the very end that Sonic finally assembles the Chaos Emeralds and confronts himself. Sort of like Generations, but with a tense/serious nature similar to Forces/Frontiers. A brief moment where it seems like all hope is lost, Sonic is down, the Emeralds are shattered, and his friends are in danger. EXE had taken time to torture Sonic's friends, and is finally just going in for the kill. All it takes is that brief moment of gloating about finally proving who the real Sonic is. Super Sonic just blasts through and intercepts EXE. No monologue about friendship or what's right, no time taken to speak, not a word about what EXE just said, and not a thing about how he got the Emeralds back together. He's immediately throwing hands. Maybe in terms of the Emeralds breaking, maybe that could be what starts the game. This creature shows up somehow, perhaps from an alternate timeline where Sonic loses (or a culmination of them), and is immediately on target for the Emeralds, destroying them before anyone can use them. Sonic being Sonic, he tries to figure out a way to fix them. He knows he has done it with the Master Emerald easily before, so the normal ones wouldn't be too different, right? Well, with EXE and various other adaptations on his and his friends' tails, it wouldn't be easy to just stop and fix them. He'd likely be guarding at least a few, and the only reason they'd be able to bring them together is via stuff like hostage situations and/or being "lured in". Sonic knows that EXE is an actual threat, especially from his experiences through this entire "game", so he'd know not to hold back with this one opportunity he has with the Emeralds. EXE starts getting outmatched. Super Sonic clones/afterimages/energy projections just shut down EXE's own clones/lackies, meanwhile any attempt at even touching Super Sonic burns his own body, his negative energy being burned away by Super Sonic's own positive energy. Unlike his base form, where he was barely able to outrun EXE's superior speed, narrowly escaping various tricks and traps, Super Sonic is able to just negate them all. This is finally a moment Sonic has to be himself. To show who the real Sonic is. This completely goes against what EXE had been trying to blind people with. That "Sonic" is nothing but a puppet, and is just as vulnerable or weak as everyone else, which digs into people's minds throughout the game. Just as everyone had lost hope, that Sonic was finally "got" by EXE, they'd succumb to EXE. Until Super Sonic comes in, snapping that dread out of their minds just in time, before they're completely lost to him. No words would even be exchanged, as the fight itself between hero and villain undergoes. Sonic had been just as capable as anyone else. Even with that sneaking dread behind all of them that they're only hanging by a thread, which EXE desperately had been trying to snap the whole story, they realize just in time that none of that is the truth. Being themselves and doing the best they can is enough, and there's no need to dread on what's in the past, or what could have happened, or what could happen in the future. As long as they tried, that's ultimately what will give them purpose. To do is to be. And for EXE, that's his downfall.

3:15 their poses are quite similar here, that's a really nice detail

I'm late to the party, but it's crazy yo believe that a Megalovania track for an Undertale AU (Differentopic) came to be one of the most popular songs in FNF fandom! Not that it's a bad thing, far from it! I love seeing everyone's inspiration run wild with this song and it definitely shows here snow! Quality of life, classic style of the original video, and a good ending for Sonic is just everything that the original mod would have immensely loved! Great job once again, loved this song back then, but you definitely reminded me today the reason as to why with this cover and mod!

The way he started taunting his own possessed self shows he's not going to lose anymore, and that's a nice detail you made out there

Can we look foward when Sonic turns into Super Sonic, hes LITERALLY taunting on Exe of how HORRIBLE he is at being a "somewhat god wannabe". althought a good adittion would be super sonic's icon changing into looking at exe, the music is a total banger. Snow and everyone on the mod team, You outdid yourselves once again!

Love the little details and progression. Sonic going from.his normal run to Figure 8 to Confident Super Sonic before turning to Face Exe. Also the small detail of the inbetween frame of the Sonic returning to his netural pose if for the last note pressed. Which is an amazing detail that isn't used often just because Sonic rarely stops singing.

I like to imagine Sonic backhanded Sonic.exe at the end Idk I think it’s funny

THAT RIGHT POSE FOR SUPER SONIC I'M DYING 😂 As much as I love it when Sonic.Exe can be taken seriously, this is just such a banger and such a good depiction of how Sonic.Exe...really just isn't as much of a GOD as he says he is. Most of the time, he gets the short end of the stick lol. Ah well, there's always Fleetway Sonic.

3:38 - 3:50 (Note from JJ: I see this as Sonic using Chaos Control during the first teleport back to Green Hill, EXE warping them back to Run, Sonic warping to Scrap Brain, then EXE taking them to "..." and then Sonic just thinking 'Screw this faker! Time to finish this in style!' Then proceeds to warp them into space. At least that's my thoughts on that. ...I think that's everything now. Bye! Nice work, Snow! -JJ Boreal, Account Owner)

Premier was insane. Probably the best take ever

The sprites and vocal improvement are already impressive! Great stuff, Snow!! The SUPER SONIC PART IS ALSO PEAK, WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

Dude this goes HARD!! The Super Sonic part was the best for me, as he literally TAUNTS exe for his bad effort at being a "god". Definitely the best take on this song by far, you and the team did AMAZING! :D

I like how Sonic turned super and taunts exe lmao!

I like that sonic.exe's sprites mimic super sonic's, as iirc some of the og exe sprites were based on super or hyper sonic

Something interesting I noticed is that when sonic goes super his notes/poses when he sings are nearly identical to EXE’s showing them that they are similar, but they are not the same, as sonic never is trying to attack EXE, just escape him. There is another similarity I noticed when either of them are confident in winning they tend to toy around quite a bit before it’s over. Over all I love the idea of the real sonic confronting EXE

My dude Sonic just preformed what was essentially an exorcism by singing, that’s how you know someone is a real G😂
