The SHC2023 Contest :: Sonic Frontiers - Mach Speed Physics (SHC 2023)

New Era Begins Here

1. Introduction

This is an Overhauled version of Mach Speed Physics that adds even better physics, new moves, new effects, and a lot more.

Since this mod includes Mach Speed Physics, you don't have to download Mach Speed Physics to use this mod. Just make sure other Physics mods are turned off.

2. Major Changes

Adaptive Physics
Sonic's Physics will naturally change based on Sonic's current speed. For example, when Sonic is slow, it's easy to accelerate, decelerate, and jump. However, as Sonic gains speed, it will get more difficult to gain speed or lose speed due to momentum.

Mach Speed Power Boost
Instead of Power Boost requiring Maximum Ring, Power Boost can now be toggled by holding Boost button while having at least 400 Rings. In Addition, Sonic can temporarily activate Power Boost by building Momentum gauge (AKA Phantom Rush gauge). So build momentum via speed or combo for Power Boost!

Dynamic Boost Gauge
Boost Gauge Usage and Recovery have been reprogrammed to change based on the situation. Sonic now has to use a lot of Boost Gauge to quickly accelerate from standstill or Boost in the air. However, Sonic recovers Boost quickly when he is Drifting. Also, Roll & Spin Dash no longer uses Boost Gauge.

Roll & Spin Dash
Spin Dash has been completely reworked to function like Classic & Adventure games. You can choose to Roll or Spin Dash with different input. Roll does not give Sonic burst of speed while Spin Dash gives Sonic burst of speed based on Sonic's current speed.

New Effects
New Effects have been added. You can turn these effects off in the config menu. Make sure to download Mach Speed Power Boost or Fake Boost Aura for the best experience.

and of course.....

3. New Moves!

- New Ground Moves -

Roll: LT
Spin Dash: B + LT (Hold the Input or Mash LT to Charge)

Drift: LT +  B or LT + RT or LS (Based on config)
Brake: X while at High Speed
Vault: A while Drifting or Braking
Vault Trick: A while Vaulting
Spin Strike: LT while Braking or Avoiding

Drop Dash Run: B while Drop Dashing
Drop Dash Boost: RT while Drop Dashing
Drop Dash Flick: LT while Drop Dashing

- New Air Moves -

Additive Homing Attack: Hold X until Sonic hits an Enemy (Works Best on Small Enemies)
Momentum Light Dash: Hold LS
Air Dodge: X while at High Speed

Spin Dive: LT
Spin Air Dodge: X while Spin Dash Charging
Spin Shot: A while Spin Dash Charging
Chaos Boost: RT while Spin Dash Charging 

Be sure to read in-game skill descriptions for more information!

4. Other Notable Changes

- Dying makes Sonic loses Ring
- Speed Level has been removed (it will not alter your save file)
- Mach Speed can be activated by charging Spin Dash (just like Adventure 1 Light Dash)
- Many Combat Skills have been tweaked
- Parry Window has been reduced

5. Cheats for Squid Section

Vanilla Physics Mode: A + B + X + Y + LB
Mach Speed Physics Mode: A + B + X + Y + RB

This cheat has been created specifically to make Squid Section in Chaos Island playable. Use Vanilla Physics Mode before Squid Section to slow Sonic down, and hold boost right before entering Squid Trail. If you did everything right, Sonic will no longer get launched at Mach speed.

After you complete the Squid Section, use Mach Speed Physics Mode to return to normal.

6. Compatibility

Essential Codes/Mods that need to be used with this mod are:

Codes
Somersault Landing at High Velocity

Mods
Mach Speed Power Boost or Fake Boost Aura

Codes/Mods that should NOT be used with this mod are:

Codes
[Cyber Space] Tighter Spin Dash Rotation
Increased Spin Charge Rotation Speed
Tighter Drop Dash Rotation

Other Physics Mod

This mod has NOT been tested with other major code mods such as Enhanced Moveset mod and Legacy Spin Dash mod. Please turn these mods off for stable experience.

Also, make sure to click Download Community Codes button under Codes tab in Hedge Mod Manager.

7. How did you do this??

Mach Speed Physics: Next Generation is made possible with 9000+ lines of code. Since it contains a lot of features that are potentially beneficial to other Physics mod, I have decided to release frameworks I coded for this mod.

Please checkout Mach Speed Repository for standalone frameworks such as Roll and Spin Dash and Speed Trail
