Chaos Control: Shadow the Hedgehog for SSB4!

[YoshiandToad]

But...

That's a quote from Zhu's art of war...

Whom Soldier quoted. Man I forgot that was a reference for a moment there. Awhoops! But yeah, can't see this black and red hedgehog beating another third party to the game.

 

[DustyPumpkin]

Shadow should be-*hurling noises*
Shadow would be a good id-*barfing noises*

Yeah I can't even lie, no.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

But...

That's a quote from Zhu's art of war...


Shadow will not get in. He was never planned for Brawl. I have no idea how you think that. Regardless it's false.

Look man, do I go nailing signs on your door saying you're wrong that fast? That person I've met from Nintendo also said why he was just an assist trophy, because they could not put in the final touches without delaying the game for a third time.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Yeah, Shadow was never planned, and no, his chances are certainly not high. There is no reason for Sonic to get a second character, when Sonic is not owned by Nintendo. You think it's hard to get Sonic, Mega Man, and Snake? Imagine how hard it would be to get more from each series, in a Nintendo Crossover.

Oh well. I like Shadow, but he isn't getting into Smash Bros.

But let's please not be rude here. There is no reason for it.

And how do I know you aren't lying? Where is your proof?

The burden of proof is in your hands...

There is more evidence to suggest Shadow was never planned as a character. The only planned characters who didn't make it playable were Mewtwo, Roy Dr. Mario, Dixie Kong, Toon Zelda, Toon Sheik, and "Prai_Mai." We know this because there are incomplete character files on the disk. Shadow had nothing of the sort.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Shadow has no right to be in this game. The year of sonic has nothing to with Nintendo. 3rd Party franchises are limited to one rep because Smash is about Nintendo characters. Go play the Sonic fighting games and shut up.

Sakurai never said that 3rd party franchises are limited to one rep, and no, the year of sonic is not insignificant. You cannot just try pushing me around just because you don't believe me when I say that I've met someone with experience, someday the Sonic franchise CAN AND WILL have a second representative. But yes, YOU should stop being rude about it.

Then they scrapped it, none of those characters on the disk were assist trophy or pokeball Pokemon. If you don't believe me, then let it go.

May I suggest you cool your jets? I'm not being rude to you, I'm being realistic.

The year of Sonic is a fairly new thing, something that comes a very long time after development of Smash Bros 4 started. The year of Sonic is significant to SEGA a whole lot more than Nintendo.

People aren't going to believe you, because literally anybody could say they know somebody who works somewhere. Smashboards requires proof when claims are made like that. So it's really not like we're simply going to believe you.

I was directing the not being rude part to Toothiest Aura, and believe me, I don't like all of this fighting on a page anymore than you do. Just because it's a SEGA thing doesn't necessarily mean that Sakurai won't play along, and I could care less if people don't believe me, someone told me once before that they met ProtonJon, and I didn't believe hi at all.

 

[Deleted member]

Even as a Shadow fan, I know for a fact he was never planned to be playable in Brawl.
Quit spreading around bull****.

 

[DustyPumpkin]

Yeah it's cool that you want Shadow and all, but you shouldn't spread rumors with -1% evidence.

I understand that, but I only talked to this person on the phone, so it's no big deal.

So how do you know he's telling the truth?

You know what? This is kinda starting to be annoying, let's just stop talking.

 

[Deleted member]

I've never really posted in here despite Shadow legitimately being a favorite of mine (though I understand his flaws and I personally believe it would have been for best if he had stayed dead after SA2), and I have to say, I'm rather disappointed in other Shadow fans that post here as well as the anti-Shadow people in what I have read.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Look, I'm not trying to offend you, or anything of the sort.

I'm not condemning you either.

I just want to you to know that you should be careful who you believe when it comes to stuff like this... There are a lot of fakes out there.

 

[APC99]

Ah, so THIS is why CliffJumper dislikes Pac-Man...

Do keep in mind, Ridley had boss data, but also scrapped AT data. There's no true connection between that.

BALONEY!!!! I was only saying that because Nintendo doesn't make Pacman stand out as much as they do Sonic.

Joking, I was joking. I'll continue to support Pac, and you Shadow. Let's be civil, alright?

Agreed, until we know who's in for sure, till all are one! (Sorry, I just had to say that)

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I can't see Shadow happening even if and when (because I agree at some point of all our third parties Sonic has the strongest chance of a second rep) getting into Smash Brothers. Even Sega has started distancing themselves from Shadow and giving him big prominent roles in the Sonic series.

If Sonic ever really does get a second rep it'll be Tails, Knuckles or Eggman.

I can see Tails at the least, but as far as the others go, maybe, (sniff) maybe.

 

[Autumn ♫]

Wow, one little comment revival from me and we get a huge argument over Shadow or any 2nd Sonic character being playable.

"While browsing the official website for SSB4 I stumbled across this page while typing in random numbers and letters instead of a character name. Upon clicking the face of the hedgehog (Shadow) I was Simply taken to a 404 not found.
I instantly took a screenshot of said page. It seems to be on Sonic's character page and everything above is normal.
The next day when I came home and tried to find said page again it was gone. I decided to create an account and post this after a lot of trying to get back onto the page."

This is just my personal opinion, but I think it's fake. Sakurai would probably not leak something like this that easy. This looks more credible than a previous leak of Shadow I've seen that had artwork from Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, but I haven't seen this artwork around, I've checked all the floors on Sonic News Network and haven't found a match. While I do think it's fake anyway, do I see Shadow as impossible, no! It's just not likely, but I would love Shadow to be playable.
