Im curious, did you even watch that video? its clearly NOT a shadow costume. its still blue.

And also, this is the SONIC board... not the shadow board.

Apparently at the demo only different shades of blue were available as alternate costumes for sonic...


But a shadow costume is likely...

I think thats a good a idea for shadow as a costume, because there is only going to be a few third party characters and I dont want all the third party characters all on the sonic team. I would rather have like megaman or rayman or someone

I dunno if thise would work. If there was a shadow alternate costume, he'd still have Sonic's voice and horrendous one-liners.

He'd also have the blue glow from the spin-jumping, so i dont think this would work.

I think this fits closer to the 'good costume/evil costume' theory. For those that don't know, most characters seem to have a black color scheme and a white or 'light' color scheme. It's best displayed in this pic.

Sakurai even refers to one as a 'fallen angel' look. Most characters seem to have som variation on this theme, and Sonic's dark tone is no different.

I'd really like to see shadow get into the game as a playable, but he probably won't. Let's face it...you could never beat him he's the ultimate life form and way too powerful. Anywho those cotumes where just sonic with black fur. There are openings for the sonic team to come out of assist trophies right? Let's hope to see shadow in one of them.

Shadow is the ultimate life form? Somehow I don't believe that...

Although I'm not a real fan of Pokemon, I'm pretty sure Mewtwo or even Giga Bowser would hand him his butt on a platter any day.

It's not like you even need Mewtwo or Giga Bowser to prove that. Shadow is no greater than Sonic as much as people want to say that he his as fast as Sonic he isn't, especially with those jet shoes.

I could see Sonic kicking butt if the 2 were to fight, no items.

well sakurai said that every character has at least 6 alternative colours, so sonic will have his obvious normal colour (blue), then he has to have red and green for team battles (which in vids he has green shoes, not sure what his red will be), in one vid im sure he has yellow shoes, the black one we see on http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=caR_UwlZXjs and im sure ive seen a darkspine sonic somewhere...anyone have any proof or other ideas?

Did someone say Shadow?








Anyways.... Sonic should have a Shadow costume (But no exactly like the pic above), from what we saw at E for All. Nintendo didn't put much thought into Sonic's costumes, just lazy recolors of Sonic's Blue color.

Shadow shouldn't even be a sticker in Brawl, he is just an emo clone of Sonic and it's pathetic that people like him. Besides him as an alt costume is pretty much deconfirmed with Sakurai saying Wario is SPECIAL and ALONE in his different outfit as alternate costume deal.

Yeah mostly. He will not be a Alt Costume. Also Shadow's not emo anymore, he left his past behind and everything with it since the end of Shadow the Hedgehog. And he didn't act like it in Sonic 06.


But Sonic alone is also special. As he can attack again or air dodge after his Up B move. Now that is really special. No other character can even do that.

Hey man, get rid of the huge font thing. And yes, this is true. Shadow isn't going to be a character, so I see nothing wrong with giving Sonic a Shadow costume.

Sonic didn't have a black costume. It's called bad video quality. Also, there was no Knuckles AT. Why did I even bother reading that god awful large and bold font..

My biggest wish is a Metal Sonic alternate costume... He has always been my favorite Sonic character.

I would like Shadow to be a playable character but NOT as a Sonic clone, i mean like in the GBA game Sonic Battle were Shadow was completely different from Sonic and fought by using Chaos Control "fireballs", teleporting and most importantly no spin dashing. (Sonic's over used move in Brawl.)


Ooh and no thats clearly just dark Sonic.

How come a lot of people here don't like shadow? The only thing I have against him is his game, Shadow the Hedgehog. He has cool moves and would not have the same moves as sonic, so he wouldn't be a clone. He won't be in, its just that there is nothing wrong with him, except his own game wasn't the greatest. Also, metal sonic would be awesome. Tails or knuckles will make it as an AT, while the one that doesn't make it will probably be a sticker. If Sonic has an alt. costume that looks like shadow, then shadow will probably be a sticker. Thats my opinion anyway.

Every time they add a new character to the Sonic games, they get worse. Shadow is no exception. He's an unnecessary character that just further confuses the storyline of Sonic games. They were better when it was just Dr. Robotnik trying to take over, and it was your goal to stop him. Now it's more like.. Meet up with new characters and save the world from evil! But this isn't your ordinary evil! No, this is a brand new unexpected evil! Team up with Dr. Robotnik and [insert new hedgehog] to save the world! ..Why did they turn Dr. Robotnik into a mid-boss..

I agree with you about each time they add a new character they are worse, However Shadow is an exception. How come people complained about him when he first appeared? Was it because he was a hedgehog? He is the second Hedgehog with any DECENT relevance and skills other than sonic of course. When he first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2, he had a plan and was taking the lead, then when he returned for Sonic Heroes he was nerfed by a big amount because people thought he was to powerful and bad ***, then after that he started to go down hill. Especially when he started in his own game and he used guns... there is a limit i say they should have gone with Shadow and guns was too far. SEGA was trying to catch the attention of the gun shooting fans as well as the classic SEGA fans.
Shadow will not be a character costume, Wario's outfit has confirmed no Character Costumes already.

If you want to talk about a monstrosity of bad characters well to Start off Charmy the bee started off the line of worthless characters and it spread to Big the Cat, Cream and Cheese, Silver the Hedgehog and also to now hopefully on to Omega. I liked Omega to start with but since i played Sonic 2006 and heard his voice i almost threw up due to how terrible and rubbish it sounded and how much SEGA nerfed his weapons, his bullets were just like bellets from BB guns... ¬_¬ ouch that hurt ... NOT!

Here i think are the Most appropriate characters in the Sonic series to STAY in the series:
Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Amy
Shadow
Rouge
Blaze
Eggman/Dr. Robotnik
Metal Sonic
Espio

Everyone else should die off, well Vector and the Babylon Rouges depend... Vector can have his moments. Babylon Rouges (Jet, Wave and Storm). They have only been in the Riders series and stayed there, which is good so they can stay as long as it's only in that series.

They don't need to kill them off. Just keep them out of the playable characters. Shadow should have stayed dead after Sonic Adventure 2 though. He was okay in the game itself. Hell, I'd even say I liked him as a character if that was it from him. But they went and screwed him over by shoving him in our face from every console game after that. Well, besides SatSR. Which ironically is better than the last few Sonic games.

The only games that I want to be just the classic characters are the games like adventure dx. If they add new characters it should be exactly like adventure 2. Those two games are different then the old games in a good way. I've seen Sonic go against eggman too many times to be able to say I can play Sonic games like the old ones forever. I don't want the same storyline over and over. And that is why they introduce characters. They do this to make the story a little more interesting. The way they introduced shadow in adventure two was perfect. There was a good storyline with the chance to play good and bad. Then at the end you had to all team up. That one game is my favorite. I agree that they should stop making characters only if they can't make a good game out of it. I do agree that shadow hasn't been in the geatest games lately, but as a character he is decent. His own game sucked, but in a game like adventure two he was cool. bad move with giving him skates though. I do agree that he shouldn't have been in as many games as he has been.

I don't see anything wrong with a Shadow recolor.. Just because a bunch of people have issues with Shadow is no excuse to cut off more possibilities...

If you think Shadow is unoriginal, Dark Sonic is even less original. I mean when has he even appeared? (Outside Sonic X, of course)

Sonic's "dark" version should be something recognizable, such as Metal Sonic or Shadow, or maybe Mighty Armadillo. I don't think Metal will be easily recolored, so I reckon it'll be Shadow. (Unless they go with Sonic Heroes version of Metallic Sonic, NOT the boss, but the one from the multiplayer cheat code).

I think they should have a Shadow costume
Because I'm pretty sure he won't end up being a playable character
and they're goin for a big difference between characters,
even if Shadow has completely different moves.. They would almost look exactly the same
The same weight, and height and everything
So that could cause confusion if Shadow was a playable character like sonic

it woudn't be that hard to make an alternate costume for sonic and give him black and crimson skin...

they could make a silver comstume for him to... the only thing is that Silver wouldn't have been a sonic clone since he has a different moveset... he's more like a better version of Mewtwo then Sonic...

Yea... but there's something that would be even more confusing... and that would be if Shadow and Mephiles was in brawl...

Dark Blue? That's gotta be Darkspine Sonic, powered by some of the World Rings of the Arabian Nights, and his desire to bring Shahra back to life! He'd make a good alternate costume, though.
