Unpopular opinion: Shadow's peak (and best writing) was in Sonic 06: where he was faced with the similar promises of revenge and answers but turned them down and actively fought the villain offering them because his identity was solidified and he knew who he was: the hero the world needs but doesn't appreciate.
@Hugh Janus I kinda lost a little, but who is Emerl?
THANK YOU, I’m telling you 06 was probably the best game Shadow has been in. Besides SA2 of course
@@amurilloreno 8:12 that robot
*all hail shadow orchestra intensifies*
Except all of that goes out of the window when you remember 06 was written to be a reboot.
I love the insanely fast growth in Sonic and Shadow's relationship during SA2. From enemies, to mutual respect, to super transformed allies.
“I’m the coolest” I swear that doesn’t even seem like something he would say lol
he spent time with a little girl most of his life on ark, she probably said that to him once an he took it to a whole new level maybe.
ghostman128 we all know deep down that that’s what he’s trying to be
That english dubbing doe
@@lilaids6521 exactly, lol... from NA blank, too. his life was spent with a child being almost more childish than her...like her pet. tbh, the translated version makes more sense...because he should be immature. just because he's powerful doesn't mean he's not a preschooler on a revenge trip for his best pal.
Sonic
Sonic Adventure 2, the best sonic game where your victory pose is in front of a beaten corpse
Haha 😄
Lol
E. V
Or a broken down fighting machine
"Yeah!"
The guy dying right now: ...yeah.
6:31 I love how Shadow just jumps off after Omega
His Name is e102-gamma
That’s E-123 Omega, not E-102 Gamma.
he even yells "SHIT SHIT SHIT IM COMING"
It's E-123 OMEGA but "it's" codename is OMEGA and that's what "it's" called
'SHIT' 'SHIT' 'SHIT'
Anyone felt that Shadow’s random appearance in Sonic Boom was unnecessary? This actually made me annoyed with him for the first time.
I know right? Sonic literally has no business with him in plot
*_"i'M Da CoOlEsT"_*
Shadow in boom was more like Vegeta
I hate that version
And why was he even trying to stop sonic in the first place
I ‘ M T H E C O O L E S T
Sonic: Shut Up....
he do be the coolest doe
1:11 and watch very closely at the left hand corner of the screen. Shadow doesn’t disappear when he runs off. He freezes in place at the edge near the plant. The animation just stops. Love this game.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To be fair the game wasnt designed with full screen in mind
😭😂😂😂😂😂
the game was originally made for 4:3, that's why.
2:19
There was an unspeakable amount of hype I had for this boss battle when I was a kid that I still have. The way the boss theme kicks in, the camera work and the quote Shadow delivers. It screams "epic showdown." I was just upset we as players could never take advantage of the Chaos Control perk to save ourselves.
Before this is over I'll show you the true power of chaos control
The worst thing is that I feel that same feeling, but with the generations version, I'm sorry but the reason is that Sonic generations made a big impression on me, you know man?
I never got this far as a kid bc the treasure stages sucked terribly but watching this on RUclips had me going crazy. When I eventually saw this seen for the first time bc of my own play through it felt so awarding
I miss Sonic and Shadow’s old voices :(
Wow that’s the first time I heard that after Roger took over as Sonic, after that everyone was like “RYAN SUCKS” and claiming Jason was the only good Sonic va
@@stomper1232 Nahhhh, Ryan was the best imo. Jason was good, but I feel like Ryan nailed the overall feel of the character with his voice. Roger doesn't compare to them for me
Jason was the best
Mr Poofey it’s gonna be a no from me dawg
Forsaken_Lemon Jason’s voice solidified shadow. I like the old voice, but not as much. And Jason does a better sonic for when he’s a big more laid back and serious. That’s why I like them. I don’t think any of them are perfect, even the old voices, but in my opinion Jason did the best for these two.
3:00 *THIS IS THE ULTIMATE*
POWER
SMASH BROS
SHADOW IN SMASH BROS!
*ILL USE YO-*
*CHAOS CONTROL!!*
2:19 - Take a moment and appreciate one the most under-rated stare-downs in video games.
When I was a kid, I always thought knuckles said "Shit, rock" in sonic heroes.
Now that i hear it i can't help but hear Omega's "annihilation" as "anal halation"
Wow my mother tongue is French (Québec) so I thought I was just bad at understanding English, but if even someone with English as its mother tongue heard that « Shit, rock » too, it could mean that I was not that bad XD
What is he actually saying? Lol
Peter Parkour “Shi! Rah!” Just fighting grunts I assume
24:14
0:35 "I'm the coolest"
...bro
Says that literally not even a second after getting smacked by Sonic's homing attack.
but i mean he do be the coolest doe
Idk what it is about shadow’s design in 06 that looks really cool
His glare. And his color palette is closer to like in SA2, which makes him not look oversaturated.
Axxidous never notice that about his color pallet
What is this? No
does it make anyone else sad that shadow was actually supposed to die at the end of sa2? I know he comes back and im so happy for that because sth wouldnt be the same without him but..it gets me in the feels man. I love shadow sm
Yeah same. I didn’t know at the time playing the game since I was hella young and when I read more about Shadow and found out that he was originally gonna be dead after SA2 from the series really hurt me lmao.
Silver:mephiles why are you getting in my way??
Shadow:im Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog.
Silver: *confused screamings*
Edit: thanks for the likes guys
Правильно пишется I am Shadow
I'm Shadow Shadow The Hedgehhog
“Your loyalty to your pathetic friends.” Ummmmmm wasn’t this the same guy who wanted tried to save Maria. Then befriend a robot and a bat that way too sexy for a kids game?
May Naners technically Sonic Boom takes place in a separate universe, but your point is still valid
May Naners i mean, the writers were a little lazy in that game, the dialogue was something a 6 year old would pull off without even thinking 1 minute
20:20 never do this to a Sonic game again plz
It’s kinda sad to see his gradual downgrade of a character, he started off great in SA2 and even alright in ‘06 but now to Sonic Boom? Just sad...
TheParagon sonic boom doesn’t count
Not even alright in Sonic 06, imo he was the best in Sonic 06
sonic boom doesnt count that shit never happened
Nah fuck that sonic boom didnt happen
Tides agreed
I love how Rise of Lyric took all of the character development Shadow had throughout like 5 games and just threw it in the garbage.
isnt any different than idw shadow at the end of the day lol
idw, team sonic racing overdrive; he’s still acting like a bag of shit
absolute disgrace to the awesome shadow of old
Sonic Boom takes place in another timeline.
20:21 Shadow's mouth moves like if he had a mustache and talks like he was sheriff...
*IT'S HIGH NOO-* oops wrong game
19:09 literally the definition of run yo pockets 😂
at the start of the video, you can see a calm, competitive and snarky character who had an air of composure and mystique about him - developed into somebody who would give anything to do what’s right
...and then we see him get transformed into a hollow, disgusting ‘anti-hero’.
god.
On the one hand, it's nice to see a character you like return in a different piece of media. On the other, their initial story should've been their only story.
Sometimes I think Shadow in SA2 was capturing lightning in a bottle, and it was back when SEGA seemingly had the balls to kill off a major character for good.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 He was far too marketable. Honestly
Remember when Shadow used to be cool and relevant?
Remember when Metal Sonic Was Sonic's True Rival
Lord Jagi
That would be Knuckles
And Edgy.
@@lordjagi5683 so 1993
Doom Slayer
other way around; the guy only got edgy after the series got flanderised
I can count how many times Sonic interrupted Shadow while he spoke.
SONIC LET THE SHADOW SPEAK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the Shadow?
Shadow: **Is damaged**
Also Shadow: *I'M THE COOLEST*
2:21 It sounds like shadow is about to drop a mixtape.
Megan Leeann 😂😂😂y’all comments killing me
Who says he isnt?
And this is how the events of the song Throw it all away good job you inspired shadow to create a song before his almost- death
19:09 look at what Shadow is doing when he is losing his rings
I don't get it
Ahhh I see ! Pervy Shadow!
All I see is Shadow grooving to the beat.
When i played this game when i was little i didnt even get it and i was laughing when he was loosing his rings
Now i did-
My absolute favorite character in the Sonic Series
Man they should just remake Sonic 06. It could've been a really good game. Also, the cutscenes with the fights are awkward lol
Honestly, with segas current track record of sonic boom and forces, id think it would still be pretty bad, the only chance it would have is if an outside studio like platinum games picked it up, who specilize in off the wall action games lol
Remove elise
Honestly bug fixes and cutscene work is enough,the GCI doesnt need any changes,basically just bug fixes and better animated cutscenes.
El canal de Gema de Cristal and?
P-06
Goes into some random area to beat up some random dude then poses near his unconscious body. basically sums up the battles.
24:01 I don’t care what you reply with; this is the best Chaos Blast voice ever. Great job, Kirk!
I'm still confused about "I'm the coolest" part
Sonic approached Shadow with an ego. Shadow is taunting Sonic. The entire scene and fight is full of Shadow saying nothing but things that presses Sonic's buttons. To the point where he calls Sonic the faker for being the one comparing them in the first place while Shadow was minding his own business. And then telling Sonic he wasn't even worthy of being compared to Shadow. That Shadow was the coolest. I think at some point he even sarcastically says "Oh, that hurt." and "So you're NOT just a hedgehog". And finally "Not bad for an imposter."
I think it was mistranslation. In Japanese, he merely says “interesting”.
@@khfan4life365 That's not a mistranslation. That's a complete script change.
even then, its not too out there; shadow used to be super snarky and sarcastic like that; it wasnt even something weird back then
Read the replies to the first comment.
2:20 my favorite Battle of all time SA2
It was too epic
Who’s more powerful, sonic or shadow? The answer: Whatever one the player is controlling. Real answer: both equal.
i am pretty sure they are about equals when shadow has his ihnibitor rings on. Without them shadow is much stronger than Sonic i think.
Jyniguunx yz Shadow used to be so much stronger than him
Shadow has more upper body strength while sonic has stronger legs. Sonic while he does not use chaos power as often he is the only one who can use chaos powers to their full effect.
@@nascarconnor1254 Sonic doesn't have chaos powers other than chaos control and maybe a few other stuff
Selka Doom he means Super Sonic
When is Shadow’s shoe line dropping
1:45 LMAO
Shadow’s fight in 06 really shows you his canon homing attack power. He will never miss that attack 😂
Why wasn’t the battle from “Sonic Chronicles: the dark brotherhood” added in this video?
Jose Ferrer Jr people probably dont know about that game. Such a good game
0:11 - They said it, They said the Funny
Sonic - Shadow
Mario - Wario
Kirby - Meta Knight
Naruto - Sasuke
Bugs Bunny - Daffy Duck
Megaman - Bass
Red - Blue
Wolf - Fox
Sora - Riku
Tom - Jerry
Goku - Vegeta
Yugi - Kaiba
Honestly, Mario's Shadow being Wario is actually really fitting. Only that Shadow is unintentionally similar to Sonic and Wario is actively trying to use Mario's likeness for profit
“Shadow have you lost your mind?!”
shadows inclusion in boom was so weird that i havent even seen... ILL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS
Shadow is badass
13:48 yes he is! ☺
This is the ultimate!
Sonic Battle was fun as hell.
booms shadows voice is awful, he needs crispin freeman to voice him (itachi)
Ironic, considering that Shadow's current voice is Kisame's VA. lol.
@@enterthekyuubi oh damn, well I would never have guessed lol
Kirk can be great, I think he is just directed badly. If he used the voice he uses for Saix in Kingdom Hearts 2, he would've been at least a decent Shadow.
@@SailorSetsuna7 Mhm
20:10 *_[Shadow.. My homie.. What'd they do to you?]_*
ruclips.net/video/Yj42vbsYwrY/видео.html
@@SuperMario-qz3vu *_Fuck off, mayonaise._*
@@martinazunino4867 rip silver tho
my favourite shadow is sonic heroes lol
Sonic Boom is an alternative timeline.
0:35
Ah yes, Shadow's iconic line:
*I' M T H E C O O L E S T*
That blue hedgehog again, of all places
Adrian Galvan I found you... F A K E R
@@TheJaredPunch "FAKER?!" He was big offended by that comment 😂😂
@@TheJaredPunch Faker? I think YOU'RE the fake hedgehog around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Hah! You're not even good enough to be my fake.
Adrian Galvan I’ll make you eat those words.
@@TheJaredPunch *Beep beep* Shadow! What are you doing? Hurry and get back here right now before the island blows up with you on it!
All I can remember after watching Silver fight was that moment when the Game Grump Arin was yelling "Its no use!" while he was laughing manically.
"Why aren't you looking at me?"
"I'm really scared..."
"WHY AREN'T YOU LOOKING AT ME!?!"
"I'm actually really scared!"
16:44 Why The Theme Live And Learn?
probably set up by the video maker. in sonic generations after you beat a level you can change the music
Tiffany Mackillican UTTP ?! i think sonic adventure 2 had live and learn in it as well
kloud not during that fight it was a different theme
Dee Money208 oh
@@obasylo6741 no it actually isn't. The song used in sonic adventure 2 during their fight literally isnt even in the game. They use live and learn.
We.......we don't talk about Boom Shadow...
The 2014 movements and facial expressions impressed me! Of course, it WAS made is 2014 which made it easier to get better movement, but still! Shadow's movements at 20:24 were cool!
shadOW THE hEDGEhog
I see what you did there.
Boom Shadow the Hedgehog From Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric is My Favorite Hedgehog and He's Cute 😘♥️♥️♥️😍
Definitely one of the better characters in the series.
shadow is my favorite
Everything is your favorite right
0:45 Wait, Sonic is the Imposter?! Okay everyone, vote him out.
Lol adventure 2’s music is straight fucking flames
So where's that damn fourth chaos emerald
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE
Power lol
Sonic runs so clean in Adventure 2, its satisfying to see
Although Shadow my 1st favorite person or animal in the games/movies. He's so badass.
Great voice acting, downside is the music is super loud in sonic adventure 2
LEGENDARY!!!!!!!
Live and learn!!!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
good to know he actually said im the coolest
I can't believe hedgehogs could be the animal chosen to be so edgy.
13:46 BRO GOT SHIT DONE 🙏🙏
Who’s ready for Sonic X Shadow Generations?
Im sorry but that roundhouse kick to the back of silvers head...that shit was hilarious!
Stars don't twinkle if the moonlight shines. 🎵
1:32 *Welcome to funland Sonic.*
If he's not playable in Smash Ultimate, ..................
😤😤😤😤😤😤
I swear to god!!!!!!!!!
😡😡😡😡😡😡
Sonicfan2417 i heard they are adding him in
@@ArtisticFreedom How do you know? He hasn't been officially confirmed by Nintendo.
Sorry. But no
I asked them on social media
@@jayjayfilms7016 Are you saying they are 100% not going to add him?
Shadow needs more spotlight bro.
you play alout.and i love it
I cannot stand how Shadow's skating animation has been changed since SA2.
The way he moved in SA2 was fluid and natural looking. It conveyed a sense of speed very well, and lined up perfectly with the dark, mysterious vibe Shadow was supposed to have.
Shadow's current skating animation is exaggerated and unnatural. It looks ridiculous, in my opinion. He doesn't look (or feel, when playing as him) like a perfect rival to Sonic anymore, because his skating animation looks so...bad...
16:13 Sonic vs Shadow sword fight
did Shadow actual called himself I'm the Coolest? 😂
God I miss Jason so much for sonic and shadow
OMG HAHAHAHAH on the first battle of the video look a Shadows mouth. He's like ahhh😲
Shadow: not bad for an imposter..
Sonic: lolololololol
Red pink blue standing there: 👁️👄👁️
i love how silver was also confused
Shadow is so out of character in Boom
"It was a chaos emerald, wasn't it? But there's no way you could have activated chaos control using an emerald that's fake."
"It was a chaos emerald, wasn't it? But there's no way you could have activated chaos control, let alone, using an emerald that's fake."
Fixed.
I think it works either way ~
The first one was grammatically and syntactically correct.
I like how sonic n shadow were just chatting before they fought on the ark 😂
For as bad at the game is sonic boom rise of lyric has amazing animations for the cutscenes
Generations, best Shadow fight!
15:47 Why did they have to replace these two voices with other actors? These are much better.
Sonic: Phew...So far so good
Sonic: WAIT A MINUTE
Shadow: A blue hedgehog of all times. Sonic:I found you faker!
Shadow: Your comparing yourself to me? Ha! You not even enough to be my fake.
If they put Shadow as an Assist Trophy, we will start a Riot
@Primal Dialga12 *TRIGGERED*
RIP
Shadow is an assist trophy in ultimate
@@MattStarzing That's True
He was My Favourite in SA2 and S06, Others just feels like Mephiles
9:30 underrated asf❤🔥
"I love smashing robots!"
Does Sonic even know about the Shadow androids?!
Sonic Vs Shadow is too epic
*L E T S G E T M O V I N G!!!!*
Sonic the hedgehog 2006 kept shadow and Sonic's design almost intact, and I loved that, it was basically sonic adventure 3, but as we all know, the game was incredibly bad.
I would love the video if you haven't brought up Sonic 06 and Boom.
