i dont know if this was intentional or not, but the fact that eggman thinks of metal sonic as soon as the word "son" floats by in the background is such a nice little thing

It was likely that EXE didn't account for Metal Sonic since he, by technicality, didn't possess a soul. This allowed Eggman to plan an ambush tactic with Metal Sonic, who possessed the single strongest attack in the Classic Era: The Maximum Overdrive, which could burn through any material including the unbreakable spikes. Either way, well done on the thematic theme of the steel-plated Faker being the key to distract the blood-crying Faker.

We all learned a valuable lesson. No matter how evil, Metal Sonic will always be the goat.

After eggman died his eggmobile can be seen going back into background to probably get metal. Jus proves how smart Eggman really is and how much he trusts his tech to get the job done in time.

I like how Sonic.exe ends up losing not because of some random plot armor stuff, but because of an actual oversight, and eggman outsmarting him with his plan

Metal Sonic isn't the hero we needed. He's the hero we deserved. That's why he's the GOAT!!! *THE GOAT!!!*

“You can now play encore mode” sounds like “You can now play as Luigi”.

I love the implication that the plan only worked because Eggman knew X would purposefully try to slowly kill Tails and make a show out of it, which would allow Metal plenty of time to arrive.

This is an awesome take on Final Escape. A very rare instance of Sonic.exe related material that not only respects the sonic universe as a whole but also gives it a fair and canon reason as to how X could be defeated even with all that power. Amazing work!

People usually underestimate Metal Sonic in .exe scenarios. He was created to be the definitive counter to Sonic himself by matching his speed, power and maybe even more in durability. Theoretically, X can torture all the other characters because they had souls, however Metal Sonic does not so he decided to not bother with him. He over looked Metal Sonic and that ultimately is what made him lose. He didn't account for how powerful Metal Sonic would be.

i absolutely adore the way knuckles, eggman and metal were basically escorting tails up to when Sonic joined in, it really shows that when their world is at risk they will stick together as an army. Tails was never alone in this fight.

A few bits I love 3:17 I love how somber and hopeless the music feels here, you feel like Tails and everyone's doom is imminent and there's nothing that can stop the darkness closing in around them But then you get a sudden shift in tone at 4:40 when Metal Sonic's eyes flash from within' the darkness and the melody becomes hopeful and triumphant again, you actually feel like they managed to pull through at the very last moment and everyone is saved. It's a very clever choice to use "What I'm made of" from Sonic Heroes here because it takes on a completely new meaning. It's no longer a song played for a boss you're fighting it's become a song about how you've broken free from your shackles and can't be toyed around with any longer, they're no longer bound by X's rules and are going to escape.

Metal Sonic is the hero we don't deserve

I really love how after EXE was weakened/removed from Sonic, his design references an actual Sonic 3 glitch that messed up Sonic's pallette and made him look like Sonic.exe. That's some great attention to detail! Overall, this remix was incredible! Your music just in general is very good.

I do kinda like how Metal didn't beat X, but mealy knocked Sonic's soul free. It's a great way to weaken X without making Metal overpowered.

Metal Sonic literally takes the W for this one. He is SO underrated in the EXE series, and I'm actually so happy he got acknowledged. This video is probably the BEST, if not, ONE of the best videos in the EXE fandom. Props to you for making this!

did anyone else notice that in 4:50 X loses sonic's soul and vessel which is why he looks like a glitch?(which is also why sonic appears at the end)

This feels like an AMV animation from 2009, and i love it.

It doesn't feel like FNF, it feels like a sonic original here. Very nice.
