The Most Obscure Sonic 2 Sprite

*throws my subscribers a tiny little bone, the kind of bone you could chew through in about five minutes* here you go lads have a short one while you wait

Cybershell is capable of talking about a single pixel in the background of a level for a half hour and I'd be captivated.

[EdwardoFE]

there’s one old sega developer satisfied in the knowledge that the small transitionary sprite he implemented for ledge animations is finally being appreciated.

[Gamechamp]

I guess you could say the mobile remake has a balancing issue

[lamb]

This sprite would be better if it actually lasted more than a frame since it does make the balancing animation look quite fluid

[Hyuman]

Why the hell this obscure, specific and pointless stuff brings joy and meaning to my life?

[MishKoz]

Okay, you KNOW it's beyond obscure when even Christian Whitehead missed it.

[LavaCanyon]

I get the impression the sprite was made specifically for when sonic is pushed off with a moving block rather than for general ledges. It feels more fitting in that scenario and if it was programed for that then the regular method would be a side effect.

[Astro_Crunch]

You know what, I was just going about my day thinking, "Wow, I sure do know about every single sprite from Sonic's ledge animations in Sonic 2." Then here you come in, blowing my mind as usual. I don't know how I managed to go my whole life without knowing this.

[slumburger]

Cybershell, you didn't even mention the 5th ledge sprite, the one that plays when you are Super Sonic
I can't believe the Sonic lore master forgot about that

[notawesomebread]

the fact that this sprite wasn't included in the Sonic 2 Bonus Video downgrades it from Cinematic Masterpiece to Unwatchable

[TheBradRules]

This is the hard-hitting Sonic content we need. I love how you make such inconsequential things seem captivating and meaningful. Nothing gets past the Cybster.

[ElectrikStatik]

Honestly, Cybershell gives off a unique vibe with his videos and it makes his videos really rewatch-able and enjoyable. Keep being you, my dude!

Cybershell:
*Posts*
"Sonic has a 1 frame animation"
*Leaves again for several months*

[beefstroganoff]

"iconic impatient foot tap" sounds like something Zach Hadel would say.

[TreyTheWilliam]

Cybershell is going to make a video one day on how one tiny, miniscule pixel in Sonic 3 is slightly off color for a fraction of a second during a specific sequence and I would love it.

[thatguy]

Sprites are more than just animation it can sometimes show you the characters personality like sonic 1 this is his first ever appearance and since he doesnt talk this is where the sprites come in not only does the sprites show how sonic is currently feeling it also shows his personality like how if you leave him standing for too long he will make "cmon hurry" sprite which is very expressive

[RiotaiPrower]

Always wondered why no one talks about this sprite myself, and of course it's Cybershell of all people to finally bring it up.

[tasoganedude]

I wish more modern platformers feature this animation!
It's a perfect way to tell players if they're about to fall off a ledge.

[Ciguato]

I don’t need sleep, I need the most obscure sonic 2 sprite.
