History Trivia / VsSonicExe

* FanworkBan: Once enough time had passed, several creators (such as DumbieDumbie, Joe and ASTRA) banned their EXE characters from being able to appear in other people's mods (with those like ''VideoGame/FNFLordXWrath'' staying up due to proof of permission), alongside putting a ban on any and all mods attempting to "revive" Vs. Sonic.exe in general. Subverted as of today, as [=JoeDoughBoi=] has unbanned Lord X as of SONIC 2011's release.

** A few days after the mod was announced to be cancelled, Starved's creator discussed the character's inclusion in a short [[https://twitter.com/DuhDumbie_/status/1545131157238456324?s=20&t=7OeCcJ_j4dKP-kzPeYofgQ two-tweet thread]], saying that she never wanted him to be in the mod to begin with and that other things such as [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} SONIC HAS PASSED]] and the ghosts from ''Sonic Gather Battle'' were more deserving of getting included. She also has disdain towards Starved's design itself, calling it "complete dogshit" that was only intended to be a result from her experimenting with horror art and nothing more. A shame, seeing as Starved's popularity skyrocketed after the Cancelled Build was released.

** Some people had to be evicted from the development team due to being ''actual criminals''. [=JesterFrog=] and [=KubeiKorg=] were child groomers, averyavery was a supporter of the former, and [=FalseCow=] was an identity thief. Revie_03 was ''accused'' of being a child groomer (by [=KubeiKorg=] as a deflecting tactic, no less), and though she ended up being innocent, she elected not to return to the project after all the bad press.

** A child groomer known as JesterFrog has been on staff and fired, with the rest of the team having to restart development thanks to the allegations against and removal of Revie, the former director, as her work had been the focal point of a previously planned update.

* TrollingCreator: Cherribun oftenly likes to say that the main opponent of the mod's Encore mode is actually named Grimbo, not Sonic.exe. But this is technically not true, as Grimbo was made '''''post-cancellation''''' and that he even has a page on the mod's character page on Funkipedia.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: As [=MarStarBro=] purged all music related to this mod from his [=YouTube=] channel, the only way to even listen to his contributions to the mod is either his [=SoundCloud=] page, Spotify or [=YouTube=] reuploads.

** Revie_03, the director of Vs Sonic.exe and creator of EXE, was falsely accused by [=KubeiKorg=] and [=FalseCow=] of grooming at least 2 minors and emotionally abusing the fellow developers of the mod in early January 2022, as well as being doxxed by her accusers, leaking her name. She, along with EXE, were removed from the mod, although the art of EXE is kept in game through an art gallery as a tribute to late artist Divide. She was eventually proven innocent however (with the alleged victim confirming the supposed "proof" was hoax), which in turn led to Kubei being exposed as the one who groomed a minor herself, while [=FalseCow=] was eventually outed as an identity thief.

** Madzilla, one of the voice actors for the mod and creator of Demogri and Griatos, voiced his approval of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvHQCubvoQM a UTAU cover of "Faker" prior to the allegations]], genuinely not expecting his voice to sound so good in a UTAU soundbank.

* RoleReprise: [=Just_Sammiie=], WebOriginal/Needlem0use's voice actress, provides her voice samples in "Roundabout".

* WordOfSaintPaul: Phantom Arcade, the animator for the original ''Friday Night Funkin[='=]'', has stated that Sonic.exe ''would'' be able to trap Boyfriend and Girlfriend in a nightmare world... but if UsefulNotes/McDonalds didn't exist in there, they'd kill him and escape easily. Further statements on that matter state that Sonic.exe could be able to ''keep'' Boyfriend and Girlfriend in his nightmare world if he made sure [=McDonald=]'s existed in it, but Burger King didn't... because Boyfriend and Girlfriend would then think the nightmare world would be ''better'' than the real world.

** In "Execution", Lord X's vocals were a heavily manipulated version of [[VideoGame/TheTrickyMod Tricky's]] voice. "Cycles" saw him receive a unique voice done by someone else. The scrapped song "Gotta Go" also saw him with different vocals, with a Sega Genesis style sound font in one half and a VoiceOfTheLegion [[SuddenlySpeaking singing actual lyrics]] for the other.
** Majin Sonic's chromatic is taken from samples of the Sega Genesis soundfont, used in "Endless" and the unfinished song "Endeavors". The Encore remix of "Endless" swapped these vocals for some done by an actual person.

** Following mass levels of harassment and destructive criticism from those around them, Kenji vented full-out on [[https://twitter.com/x_guttedangel/status/1676451725769580545?s=20 Twitter]] about how Curse was ''meant'' to represent real-life horrors that many, including herself, had gone through, but that it only led to full-out low morals from people, several even doing RecursiveFanfiction of Curse solely to spite the original. As such, she outright stated that she's never going to be working on Curse's story ever again, and wished to not be involved with him with anybody other than mutuals.

* ArtistDisillusionment: The tortured development of the mod and its eventual cancellation in the face of fan pressure has burned out a number of the developers. Some would take the ordeal as a learning experience and go on to create their own ''FNF'' mods, with some heading various SpiritualSuccessor mods to this mod (i.e. [=RightBurstUltra=], averyavery, [=AnarackWarriors=], [=GrayAnimates=]), while others have sworn off ''FNF'' mods (i.e. [=Jacaris=]) or even abandoned the ''Sonic.exe'' community entirely (i.e. [=MarStarBro=]).
