The HBH's backstory is shown at the start of the game; they were some Eggrobos that found the Phantom Ruby and it magicked them into having personalities.

I like the idea of villainous animals  and mercs in Sonic's world, it's a better idea than the millennia old monsters of the past.  But man, Sonic Team couldnt even implement that idea right.  You'd think after promoting Infinite in the later trailers so much, you'd think there would be atleast some effort. Instead we got a non-character who might as well not exist in the game after the first hour.

I think we're just gonna have to live with the fact that most even remotely good ideas that Sonic Team comes up with are going to be executed poorly.

Why was Infinity Jackal so scared of Dark Sonic?

He got hit 3 times and wasn't even really damaged.

It's not like Dark Sonic beat him brutally or tortured him.

Maybe Shadow messed up his face.

He used his trigger word:

Weak.

This series is not going to show visible wounds on its characters. It never has, and it probably never will. You could say the same thing about Sonic's beatdown from Eggman's Fiendish Five.

That, and he was really insecure about his lack of strength.

Maybe Infinite was going to go into Null Space with you in the original version?

I would love to know how many original versions of Forces are in Sega's file cabinets.

They were willing to show a damaged Sonic in Black Knight, I'm pretty certain they're just lazy...not even any dirt scratches.

Yes.. but that was 2D art. It's a bit harder when it comes to in-game models.

Wasn't that only in one of those handdrawn-esque cutscenes? I doubt they will ever show it on their actual 3D models, probably out of a mix of modeling issues/laziness and not wanting to fully commit to the supposed seriousness they want to convey. Sonic didn't even have any visible wounds from being killed by Mephiles, but that has the excuse of obviously needing to be censored.

It has nothing to do with modeling...it can literally just be a texture of a scratches or dirt on the body. Anything that doesn't actually affect the model.

Even in Black Knight it wasn't more than just a few dark spots on him to indicate a bruise.

Well, my good sir, have you considered that it would only have hurt if he let it?

Whatever happened to this here?

I think that’s just concept art, but it does look awesome and I wish it was in the final game somewhere. Reminds me of the Undertale final boss actually (the dimensional space colours!).

Just gonna say this...you won't have to look very far.

 

You might just have to do a "double boost" a few times before you see it for a few seconds.

They did in the ShtH CGI opening.

He was already not a good person. What ultimately motivated him to put on a mask and become Infinite was his own hurt pride, not any sympathetic backstory or tragedy to speak of. He's a jerk who become an even bigger jerk, and nothing deeper than that.

This alone makes him a very, very dark villain, one with no saving graces. They could have even gone farther in his brutality and sadism if they were so inclined.

I wish Infinite murdered all of the Sonic characters to prove how evil and brutal he is.

But it also makes him a very flat villain.

Does he have any motivation aside from greed and/or pride? Is that seriously it?

Is our choice of antagonists really limited to a brooding petulant whiner and an off-brand, downplayed, sedated version of Eggman? What a disappointment all of this turned out to be.

Is Infinite the Broly of Sonic?

He seems more like the Jackal (Fist of the North Star) of Sonic. Or even like Devil’s Rebirth. He could even be similar to Fleetway’s Chaos.

Good point, but that was full CGI.

It being CGI doesn't matter, not even back then.
