B + Up : Chaos Control; Shadow teleports in the direction the player moves the control stick. Opponents close to Shadow would be pushed back (small knockback) and slowed down for a bit.

Final Smash: Chaos Inferno; Shadow turns into Super Shadow and uses Chaos Control to slow down time. Rouge and Omega appear to attack opponents; Rouge dashes all over the place by flying, similar to Super Sonic (3% per hit, small knockback) and Omega fires giant laser beams that rain down all over the arena as pillars (10% each, OK knockback). Shadow then time-freezes the opponents and reverts back to normal, giving him time to either fall back or attack opponents while they’re frozen (one hit unfreezes them).
