Hey, crazy idea, what if we call him Hyper Sonic?

It's weird because iirc Ian Flynn said he wanted to use Hyper Sonic in Sonic Frontiers, but got turned down by Sonic Team, because they wanted to avoid the "next tier power up trope".

Edit 1 (fixed original comment, and found the post talking about it) : He apparently said it on February 20, 2023 on something called Bumblekast. He stated it was also the reason hyper forms haven't been ackownledged since post-Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Could be worse, it's likely just a cyberspace power up and not like they brought hyper sonic back.

If it's Hyper Sonic, he'd be flashing colours of the Super/Chaos Emeralds and not just simply Super Sonic with blue eyes instead and a red aura like cyber corruption around him.

I mean that's the thing, if it's Super Sonic infused with cyber corruption then wouldn't it be Cyber Sonic?

I don't know, could be not fully transformed yet, could be a redesign of the hyper form, could be them wanting to keep Hyper Sonic under wraps until official release, could be a tease for this progressing into Hyper Sonic.

Remember how Paramount changed Sonic's CGI when the first movie was in promotion? And that generated so much hype/controversy, basically got people talking about Sonic. And so far, Sonic Frontiers has been leaking so much content, they look completely unable to keep a secret. What if it's on purpose so we're all the more surprised when Hyper Sonic appears? Or it's just to get people talking?

Looks cool, although I hate how they're using CG again for the marketing when it most likely won't be in the game anyway.


Look, I know some find it jarring, but I don't bloody care, I want my CG. We wouldn't have iconic cutscenes in series if they weren't CG like in Unleashed or 06.

I highly doubt any of that since Hyper Sonic is powered by Super Emeralds while the Super Sonic we're seeing in the video seems to be infused and enhanced with cyber corruption.
But we'll see soon.

You and maybe Grim are the only people I see who think it's Hyper Sonic when every comment I saw on that teaser is speculating that it's a new kind of transformation (Cyber Sonic) or at the very least, it's just Super Sonic further powered with cyber corruption.

These CG cutscenes look great but how about we have Sonic games that could look just as amazing as CG?

Well sure. They could write in a reason for it to be here. Have some imagination.

I don't know who Grim is, but I've seen plenty of people speculate on Hyper returning based on this trailer. We could be wrong, but I don't think it's impossible.

I used my imagination that Sonic would somehow turn his cyber corruption sickness into a new powerful form at the end, similar to the likes of Darkspine Sonic and Excalibur Sonic.
That's what people thought it's going to happen in the base game before it even released, which was certainly long before Sega confirmed there'd be post-release content.

I just don't think it makes sense that Sonic could also turn into Hyper Sonic because of cyber corruption when it's established that's the result of the elusive power of Super Emeralds.

Are we sure that's the only way? Could cyber-powers bend reality to recreate the conditions for the super emeralds? Or maybe cyber-world unlocking memories of the super emeralds?

Oh, my bad, I thought you where referring to some youtuber I'd never heard of.

Your guess is as good as mine, but I don't recall that these cyber powers or energy ever did something powerful like that in the game.

I don't know where you're getting these plenty of people from when really most of them on YouTube, Twitter and Reddit are calling it "Cyber Super Sonic" or even just "Super Sonic 2" (like Super Saiyan 2) much more often than "Hyper Sonic".

I mean chances are that Sega is probably just taking notes from Dragon Ball again and doing exactly that, just an upgraded form of Super Sonic that's not specifically Hyper/Cyber Sonic.
