Well in about 9 Hours, the Last Smash Ultimate Presentation
I'm personally going all in on Shadow being CP11, but I also I'm not gonna believe the Trailer with my own eyes even seeing it since it's gonna be so Surreal to look at. Even If my Prediction is right, I'm gonna be so surprised you know
But I also know it's very likely he's not CP11. There are alot of characters that are Viable. I think Shadow is Viable also, but I'm not gonna be unwise and think he's a gurantee
One thing I kind of regret when it comes to this thread Is I think I might have been too focused on arguing for why Shadow would be in, and less on discussing the Hypotheticals of what Shadow would bring with him, Talking about Music choices, Spirits, stage, etc. though to be honest, I think it's just I like speculation on viablity of an idea happening and such
I will say that if Shadow is really in, this is what I think would happen
-Special moves are his 4 Main Chaos moves. Chaos Control, Chaos Warp, Chaos Spear, Chaos Blast
-His Normal Attacks will include Homing Attack and Spindash. they are not Specials
-Shadow will be able to Wavedash thanks to Light Speed Dash (in the Air)
-Shadow will bring back Momentum Jumping
-Shadow will have slowest Initial Dash, but perhaps higher top speed than Sonic
-Shadow will have a Boost Mechanic where he gets stronger the better he does, through hitting Opponents, parrying, or Killing Opponents. He would get more meter from using Chaos related moves. Boost Mode offers benefits, including Enhanced version of his Chaos Moves. It's essentially a Snowball Mechanic
-Shadow will have his Sonic Battle Moves, they would be spread out among Smash attacks, and Unique moves activated either while Shielding or doing a Dodge
-Shadow's Dodges will be Mini Chaos Warps, 3 at a time, but doesn't reset unless you touch the Ground
-Final Smash is Chaos Punishment with Super Shadow
-Shadow is gonna be able to Summon Weapons. Guns Definitely, but I also thinking Swords, and maybe even his Bike
-Chaos Control will be Unblockable
-Shadow might have a Taunt in the Air
-SA2 will get the Most Music tracks and Remixes, but we see Music from games like 06, SA1, Shadow, etc
-Knuckles will finally get a Spirit Battle
-Rouge, Omega, and Amy will be Mii Costumes perhaps. Eggman might have some special presence, like a Boss Fight perhaps
-Stage is Space Colony Ark, or the Death Egg. It's gonna be some type of Space stage. Those are Iconic to Sonic
That's for if Shadow is Revealed tomorrow. Here's hoping. It's been nice to check in this thread once and awhile and it's been fun Speculating on Shadow all this time. If he ends up not getting in, well I'm not gonna regret it anyway, was still fun experience, was fun to spread to Smashfaqs, Discord, Smashboards, 4Chan, Reddit, etc
You guys have been laying it down, and met good people along the way. Yes.
