Game Theory: Sonic BROKE His Own Lore! (Sonic Frontiers)

Fun fact: Sonic's lore is so broken that, as we speak, SEGA's hiring an entire team just to organize it all.

Come on MatPat, you have it right there: Chaos Theory, the fourth and final channel, covering whatever topic you feel like discussing that week

Let's be honest, "No Copyright law in the Universe is gonna stop me!" Is the best out of context thing to say

I love how he refers to Flynn as the 'former writer of archie' - and not 'the writer of the idw comics', which are alive, and actually built off of the game universe with the intention of being canon.

Matpat: "does it break the canon that chaos is chao?" Ian: "chaos is still a mutant chao. The mutation turns back the clock and makes them look like their ancestors" Matpat: "so how can these both be canon"

Oh I’m sorry but eggman delivered “ I hate that hedgehog” so perfect. There’s two things always certain in sonic these days: banger osts, and Mike Polluck killing his role.

MatPat making Sonic videos about things that hardcore Sonic fans all know, and acting like it's groundbreaking is a tradition at this point.

I like how Matpat is just explaining the thing we were told by the writer, and calling it a theory

Fishing is literally the best "break" for a game that is focused on speed. You have to be slow and methodical with your movements. It's also an easy way to add the creature collector gameplay loop without having to create crazy looking animals on your own.

I never thought I'd see the day when MatPat isn't constantly crapping on Sonic.

I'm surprised MatPat didn't bring up atavism, i.e. mutating in a way that causes ancestral traits to reemerge. That seems like the most obvious explanation, not that neutralizing the chaos radiation somehow reversed the mutation (which is not how mutations work).

Fun fact: Nintendo kept Mario's backstory the same for at least 41 years. Knowing the person who raised him is Yoshi. Another Fun fact: Scourge got mutated into a green colour because of this Master Emerald , Scourge was always blue and became Green because of the master Emerald

actually sonic was originally designed with storytelling in mind. in the japanese instruction manuals, it explained what was going on and even set up sonic adventure. this was made to contrast with mario's simple storytelling.

Fun fact MatPat, the storyline of someone turning into a water creature was not from the Archie Comics, nor was it done by Ian Flynn

The fact Amy was more of a character than a crazy obsessed fangirl is heartwarming and nice Makes me like her more than I used to(cuz she was a little crazy back then😓)

Farewell to Matt Pat thank you for shaping our childhood

I think we’re gonna have to sit MatPat down and explain all the differences between the Archie Sonic Comics and the Fleetway Sonic Comics

It's also worth mentioning that in sonic adventure battle 2 you can essentially morph the chao halfway back into their water monster form by getting them to reincarnate 3 times and feeding them one of each animal. It's called a chaos chao and it just shows that under the right conditions a chao will show traits of their ancestors without any use of chaos energy. It's like how pokemon can be old and yet unevolved. I think what keeps chao dormant is that they essentially live in little paradises with no natural enemies or predators, the most stress they experience being karate matches and racing, and only with each other. There's no reason for them to have to take on a form for battle and destruction. Perhaps chaos protected the chao to keep them pure, because he knew a garden of chao could destroy the world if they were properly threatened. Chaos was willing to destroy the humans himself to avoid an all out war, because if many of his kind were awakened the humans would REALLY try to kill them all, not just out of greed for the emeralds but out of fear.

You know, I do actually miss the old intro theme for game theory. The thing was an absolute bop, and so are the other themes, but the the first one was the best.

I actually really liked the fishing aspect, it was really relaxing especially after having to go through all those bosses. (I did not really pay much attention until i got to the last island so i pretty much stayed at lower stats until the very end.
