People on that thread seem to believe Sonic's trail color changes if he fully charges the move.What do you guys think? Intentional to differentiate Sonic's down b and side b? Or is this a hint from Sakurai that Shadow is an echo of Sonic......you never know with that madman lol.
I mean......of all the colors to chose from.......it's Shadow's....
It's possible. It certainly is quite odd that in all the footage of the demo not once did Shadow show up.So today they highlighted Sonic on the blog and the Knuckles AT, but shadow is still MIA. Good news?
I mean, it's no more of an increase then the news of Sonic being back and Knuckles shown as an Assist Trophy and Shadow not being seen yet was back in E3 was. I don't think they were magically going to make this "Sonic Week" where they announce everything Sonic related.So today they highlighted Sonic on the blog and the Knuckles AT, but shadow is still MIA. Good news?
If it makes you feel better...he also digsI actually like the Chaos Control move he does more. Its another reason I would be disappointed if Shadow is only being replaced by Knuckles as a assist. Having him slow down time for all your opponents is just a more unique outcome for getting the item then another guy who just runs in and attacks. Its also been a pretty useful assist for me in the past.
Honestly Shadow's continued MIA status has me both excited and anxious. It could go in any direction so far.
I'm a big fan of Heroes in general, but if he makes the cut, I think I'd prefer this tune to play in a trailer where he dukes it out with Sonic:I was recently listening to some Sonic Heroes OST and just remembered about Team Dark's theme. I forgot how awesome it was. I'd love to see it added in Ultimate if Shadow himself is made playable.
I was talking mostly about it being added to a stage. Also, I'd love to see the Sonic vs Shadow race theme make it in too! However, I feel like if they were to add some theme to his trailer then It'd likely be All Hail Shadow. I wouldn't mind any theme, honestly.I'm a big fan of Heroes in general, but if he makes the cut, I think I'd prefer this tune to play in a trailer where he dukes it out with Sonic:

To be honest, same.I was talking mostly about it being added to a stage. Also, I'd love to see the Sonic vs Shadow race theme make it in too! However, I feel like if they were to add some theme to his trailer then It'd likely be All Hail Shadow. I wouldn't mind any theme, honestly.
Well those haters can get hit with an Omochao Gun for all I care. There's many people who want to see Shadow in Smash and All Hail Shadow is one of his more popular themes worldwide. I also know Japanese Sonic fans also love the theme, so they'd be hype to hear it too. I get the series has a lot of haters, but I've learned to ignore them. It's a waste of time paying attention to them. I know there's people out there who love the series and would be happy to see Shadow playable in Smash. Those are the people I'll be focusing on when and if it happens. It'll be one hell of a party.To be honest, same.
It's just that with All Hail Shadow you KNOW all the people who hate Sonic are gonna come crawling outta the woodworks and complain about how cringe-y the character/music/series is and how it is an embarrassment/insult to Smash to add that content.
Those people take this stuff way too seriously, this is a dumb crossover platform fighter, lighten up. I mean, yeah, loads of Sonics stuff is dumb, but I do love how charmingly dumb SA2 is.
Then again, since Sonic is pretty consistently a good character in Smash, Shadow as an echo fighter would probably be too. Seeing Shadow get good rankings in tourney would make me a pretty happy Sonic fan, tbh.
That's only a "thing" because fans have made it up. Source Gaming's video above talks about it.Considering Shadow's popularity, if he doesn't get in as an Echo, maybe he'll be considered in his own right as DLC.
I know there's the whole "only 1 rep per third party franchise" thing, but Sakurai's broken rules before, so who knows.
Always amazes me at how many fake rules some people make, that become popular to throw around like they're from Sakurai himself.That's only a "thing" because fans have made it up. Source Gaming's video above talks about it.
TCT~Phantom .I support Shadow for Smash!
Not gonna lie, SMBZ was the **** back in the mid-late 2000s. That's an awesome idea.Y'know if Shadow gets in, I wonder if anyone's gonna try to recreate the Super Mario Bros Z stuff.
And we even have up to 8 player Smash so you can have the 5 mains with a fill in for Mecha Sonic.Not gonna lie, SMBZ was the **** back in the mid-late 2000s. That's an awesome idea.
I'd imagine his recolors would be a lot like Mewtwos, in that his red stripes would be recolored. His yellow costume could even be a little reference to his own games multiplayer:How do you guys see the recolors going for shadow?
Please. People are claiming the 'purity' of Smash is getting sullied with third parties in general, not to mention third parties getting more than one character.Can't wait to hear people complain about how Smash' purity is being sullied with references to such games.

Maybe there'd even be a Mephiles color.

I know it is really stupid. Who cares. Sonic has so many great rep options. Shadow, Tails, Eggman. All of those make great fighter options.Please.

I think that's very silly, people are way too concerned with numbers and amounts instead of "would adding this character make people happy".Please.
