Theres a line from omega near the end of the game where he says "Shadow, the black arms weapons are biological. You are made of the black arms. There for I believe your arm is a gun"
Nice to know that Matt got into the series through Sonic the Fighters and understands that there's a LOT of untapped potential as a fighting game. While there was Sonic Battle, an arena fighter on the GBA, we never really had a true sequel to Sonic the Fighters that expanded on the mechanics the way both Sparking Zero and Fighterz were respective successors to their dragonball Z fighting games.
Abraham Towers was the General/Commander or whatever in the Shadow the Hedgehog game. I don't think he had a first name back then. He's the guy with heterochromia.
If you for whatever reason decide to do Shadow game, check out mod called "Reloaded", it ads a ton of quality of life and balancing changes, and dare I say, makes the game more fun. There's still some issues with it, but they feel more like regular 3D Sonic issues than whatever Shadow 2005 had.
Idea for the intro of a future episode of Matt and Liam Play Shadow Generations: Liam: Back at it again at Krispy Kreme... *Shadow uses Chaos Control to teleport in and steal all the Krispy Kreme donuts* Matt and/or Liam: Aw, Goddammit...
1:21:12 Yeah, I'd like another game in the style of Adventure. Hell, I know Chronicles is a bad game and everything, but I've wanted a Sonic RPG for the longest time. I really think they'd be able to pull it off.
"You're not Kraven it?" Liam knew he had gold under his thumb and Matt just won't buy. All he needed was a little push. I watched that Kraven movie btw, it was meh af, but you know there's something there, sadly not enough to make it Kravillion but look, it's the least terrible out of those SCU.
Shadow the Hedgehog is just the Venom of the Sonic-verse and I feel like I knew that, but I'm actually astounded I've only just now made this DIRECT comparison
3:59 Kind of a spoiler (nothing major) but while the Japanese title sounds cooler, the "Tokyo Mission" part is just a very small part of the movie. Most of the movie takes place elsewhere. The JP title seems more misleading, probably just to market it to the JP audience. It is like how the 2nd SpongeBob is called Sponge Out of Water when said "out of water" part is like the last 1/4 of the movie.
I just thought of something. Did the Sonic 3 movie litterally choose Japan for Shadow just because Maria said ”Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog”? Because if it is, thats kinda clever.
A sonic Muso could be pretty sweet, especially if they built the world like a giant sonic track. For instance, having the landscape slope and curve like a racetrack, with some rock formations creating natural loop de loops. I’d want to have the Semi Truck from Sonic Adventure 2 return as a gigantic bayonetta set piece style boss, and I want a tropical water set piece with you racing a pack of orcas to take on a big evil robot.
I've been waiting for this! Anyway, I don't know if Matt or Liam read the comments but Ichiban straight up has a kart racing minigame in Yakuza 7 so he definitely seems like a shoe in for the new Sonic racer
8:40 they skipped a moment maria is supposed to appear as a shattered cloud saying “shadow remember” and seeing gerald in the chair he gets executed on in SA2
My head cannon is Dr. Claw IS Black Doom. But so is Black Scorpion in WCW; back when Black Doom was more of a Dark Doom and was still learning to be evil, he slummed it in wrestling. They all have the same voice. He left wrestling because he was also the Shockmaster, and the less said about him the better.
I think a new crossover sonic racing game would be very different from "sonic racing transformed". Cause, honestly the series they picked to represent were already super obscure then and would be even more obscure now (burning rangers, alex kidd, billy hatcher etc..). Even the slightly well more known stuff hasn't really gotten any more new games for the last 10-15 years, and i feel are totally unknown by the newer generation of gamers (skies of arcadia, golden axe, Nights, space channel 5, outrun, Samba de amigo, after burner etc...). So i imagine they would cut out most of the older sega franchises, and replace them with the way more newer stuff.
I'm pretty sure the series is called "Sonikku Za Hejjihogu"... Thing is most Japanese people don't know that a Hedgehog is the same thing as a "Harinezumi" or "Needlemouse". They likely think of "Hedgehog " as a weird English word.
Matt and Liam's banter is good and all, but the real nostalgia hit me like a bass drop when Liam pulled out that Sonic 06 whips ass. That was when I knew I had finally come home.
Weird…I’m pretty sure that the prologue movie still had the scene where Maria was shot in the dark fog when I watched it on the PS5 version… Also, you guys skipped a post-credits scene for the movie.
My nerd reflexes wanted to get mad that Matt and Liam didn't recognize the Sonic Heroes level... but when I think about it I think the only Sonic Heroes level that I'd be able to recognize at a glance without already being told is the haunted house. That was a good game, but its levels made, like, NO impression.
Wow, they cut some of the best imagery Sonic ever had out of that animation, it's wild. Good thing it's on RUclips in full, but that's really silly, it all basically was on screen in older games already.
The edited out some scenes of the part 1 to the Dark Beginnings animation to comply with age rating. They removed implication of torture and also edited out the scene with the gunshot sounds. Kind of ruins the pacing and nightmare feeling. This is all in part 1 of the prologue so you can stop watching after the moon cuts to being whole again.
Funny that Matt says the DLC / Tokyo mission looks like the one from Shadow the Hedgehog, because that's the BGM they used for it. (Westopolis, Shadow the Hedgehog's first stage)
Aw they censored the prologue. Basically Shadow sees a vision of the soldiers shooting then Maria's silhouette screaming and being shot, then Gerald's execution.
47:54 This is hilarious if you have already finished the game because you realise this power up is the Super form so they were invincible the entire time.
15:16 he was in Shadow's solo game. He's the leader of G.U.N. 22:27 Shadow is at the party after you beat the final boss in Sonic Generations. 27:55 there aren't 47 endings. Just a large number of paths you can take to reach the endings. There are 10 endings that you can reach, and of course the true ending. 40:47 there's no Act 2 for the Tokyo level? Lame...
I bought Sonic Frontiers and Octopath Traveler 2 then I caught covid. It was a very mild case, but Gatorade tasted absolutely amazing while literally everything else, including food, felt like I was trying to swallow broken glass. I played both Sonic Frontiers and Octopath Traveler 2 between short naps. I got to the end of the Merchant story in Octopath Traveler 2 and I will never play that game again. I got into the third island in Sonic Frontiers when the virus wore off and I couldn't bring myself to finish Sonic Frontiers. Sonic Frontiers was way too repetitive. I feel like they should have cut down on having to get all the Chaos Emeralds several times to get through the game, have fewer island stages, and/or do something different to progress through stages. Sonic Frontiers was a good shot at a proof-of-concept game for an open world Sonic game and hopefully the next game will be far better implemented

"You're not KRAVEN it?.........You're not KRAVEN it?" 🤣
I think the SSU thing still going is fucking hilarious.
The pause is what really sells it.
Liam's timing has always been legendary 🤣
You can just see Matt process that joke before bursting out in laughter in your mind's eye.
I make this exact joke to my girlfriend daily and it never gets old no matter what she says
Theres a line from omega near the end of the game where he says
"Shadow, the black arms weapons are biological. You are made of the black arms. There for I believe your arm is a gun"
shadow is shadoom
Specifically he imagines Shadow can turn his arm INTO a gun.
“Black Doom, sir, not to question your absolute authority, but why did you give Shadow a power designed to kill only us?”
Yes! Thank you both so much for this. What a great Christmas present.
Nice to know that Matt got into the series through Sonic the Fighters and understands that there's a LOT of untapped potential as a fighting game. While there was Sonic Battle, an arena fighter on the GBA, we never really had a true sequel to Sonic the Fighters that expanded on the mechanics the way both Sparking Zero and Fighterz were respective successors to their dragonball Z fighting games.
Heck yeah. Sonic the Fighters even has online and community patches now! There's been a lot of work done by the StF fanbase, it's really cool to see
I like how when you guys were listing off humans in the Sonic series, you forgot about Eggman lol.
Always a treat when Liam and Matt play a Sonic game. But it’s truly a gift when its Shadow
I liked the part where he said "it's Keanu time" and then Keanued all over the place.
55:29 The Sonic ‘06 Redemption Remake should be called:
*”Sonic Adventure 3: More Battle DX”*
Omega calling dibs on destroying big robots sounds like a Zyzyx_ bit, and I love it.
Always love seein these brothers enjoy Sonic together. Hope y'all have been well!
Abraham Towers was the General/Commander or whatever in the Shadow the Hedgehog game. I don't think he had a first name back then. He's the guy with heterochromia.
He was given a name in the comics. They decided to adapt the name here.
If you for whatever reason decide to do Shadow game, check out mod called "Reloaded", it ads a ton of quality of life and balancing changes, and dare I say, makes the game more fun. There's still some issues with it, but they feel more like regular 3D Sonic issues than whatever Shadow 2005 had.
Every time the Black Doom segments happen in the regular levels, all I hear is Black Doom yelling “DOMAIN EXPANSION: RADICAL HIGHWAY!!”
I love the thumbnail
The “one use of fuck” rule is actually true! That’s how Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is still rated pg-13 despite using the word once.
I think the actress that plays Maria in the Sonic 3 movie did a good job. Kinda made me wish there was a longer story of Maria and Shadow.
Idea for the intro of a future episode of Matt and Liam Play Shadow Generations:
Liam: Back at it again at Krispy Kreme...
*Shadow uses Chaos Control to teleport in and steal all the Krispy Kreme donuts*
Matt and/or Liam: Aw, Goddammit...
Speaking of sega crossovers, I loved that Kiryu was in Super Monkey Ball and the Bananas were replaced with staminans
After all these years Shadow Team finally pulled through
Lmao the old Shadow playthrough with Woolie was one of their funniest
The animation was sick af
I watch your other Sonic playthroughs all the time. I’m so happy you’ve added this one. 😊 Thank you, you two!
The rail level, Rail Canyon, is actually from Sonic Heroes. You're likely thinking of Sky Rail, the similarly themed stage from SA2.
1:21:12
Yeah, I'd like another game in the style of Adventure. Hell, I know Chronicles is a bad game and everything, but I've wanted a Sonic RPG for the longest time. I really think they'd be able to pull it off.
I was literally today just thinking I wish Matt and Liam would play this... Thanks Santa Matt🎅
💙🦔❤️🖤🦔
"You're not Kraven it?"
Liam knew he had gold under his thumb and Matt just won't buy. All he needed was a little push.

Always a good time when liam and matt play a sonic game
Liam: “You don’t want more Sony Marvel Movies? You’re not… Kraven it?”
Me, to my phone: “Shut up.”
Abraham tower was from Shadow 05.

That animation went hard
I had no idea Matt was the progenitor of the "God-Slayer Bowser" joke!
I've been waiting for this!
Anyway, I don't know if Matt or Liam read the comments but Ichiban straight up has a kart racing minigame in Yakuza 7 so he definitely seems like a shoe in for the new Sonic racer
8:40 they skipped a moment maria is supposed to appear as a shattered cloud saying “shadow remember” and seeing gerald in the chair he gets executed on in SA2
I'm seeing double! Four Matt and Liam LP's!
My head cannon is Dr. Claw IS Black Doom. But so is Black Scorpion in WCW; back when Black Doom was more of a Dark Doom and was still learning to be evil, he slummed it in wrestling. They all have the same voice. He left wrestling because he was also the Shockmaster, and the less said about him the better.
23:15 That's actually a pretty cool idea, keep the obscure fighting game trivia alive 🎉
1:26:30 To be honest, I have been saying if we get Rouge in the movies, I just want her to be Angela White with bat wings on xD
Good choice.
The Anime was so good. Oh shit.
i love this game it's really awesome
Just what I asked Santa for, a Christmas time LP

What if Shadow was in a game that played more like Prototype?
Imagine running around an open world city wrecking havoc with your Doom powers!
I'm pretty sure the series is called "Sonikku Za Hejjihogu"... Thing is most Japanese people don't know that a Hedgehog is the same thing as a "Harinezumi" or "Needlemouse". They likely think of "Hedgehog " as a weird English word.
32:52 BLACK HEARTED EVIL
Matt and Liam's banter is good and all, but the real nostalgia hit me like a bass drop when Liam pulled out that Sonic 06 whips ass. That was when I knew I had finally come home.
I was not expecting this gift but I really appreciate it. Thanks boys.
Looking at the sky in the hub world, i just realized Shadow is in Da'at! Iykyk
Weird…I’m pretty sure that the prologue movie still had the scene where Maria was shot in the dark fog when I watched it on the PS5 version…
Also, you guys skipped a post-credits scene for the movie.
They censored the coolest part from Dark Beginnings roflmao. Why? I doubt it would change the game's rating that badly
What part
@@rouge939 The Gerald flashback and Maria being shot.
How is that even possible? I downloaded it on my PS5 and it wasn't censored at all.
@@angel107011 my guess is liam's playing a japanese copy set to english
Oh that might explain it.
Laughing when shadow almost has realistic panic attack is really funny.
Seems like the Gerald sequence from dark beginnings was cut due to the age rating! Odd.
My nerd reflexes wanted to get mad that Matt and Liam didn't recognize the Sonic Heroes level... but when I think about it I think the only Sonic Heroes level that I'd be able to recognize at a glance without already being told is the haunted house. That was a good game, but its levels made, like, NO impression.
Liam: Revenge is always worth it!
* me, who has just seen the Sonic 3 movie * Just you wait
15:25
Abraham is Maria’s brother I think.
He hated Shadow and was a main character in Shadow the Hedgehog.
Begging for a Matt and Liam SA2 chao garden playthrough
I forgot Liam moved to Japan.
Wow, they cut some of the best imagery Sonic ever had out of that animation, it's wild. Good thing it's on RUclips in full, but that's really silly, it all basically was on screen in older games already.
Not enough rage. Need more rage. Not enough rage.
The edited out some scenes of the part 1 to the Dark Beginnings animation to comply with age rating.
They removed implication of torture and also edited out the scene with the gunshot sounds. Kind of ruins the pacing and nightmare feeling.
This is all in part 1 of the prologue so you can stop watching after the moon cuts to being whole again.
Funny that Matt says the DLC / Tokyo mission looks like the one from Shadow the Hedgehog, because that's the BGM they used for it. (Westopolis, Shadow the Hedgehog's first stage)
The one F-bomb in a PG13 film is usually said by Wolverine.
Liam should definitely give Project 06 a look, that build has also made me a Sonic 06 apologist
Aw they censored the prologue. Basically Shadow sees a vision of the soldiers shooting then Maria's silhouette screaming and being shot, then Gerald's execution.
Abe was the guy in Shadow 05 who hated shadow
47:54 This is hilarious if you have already finished the game because you realise this power up is the Super form so they were invincible the entire time.
Hell yeahh more Liammmmmm! Less go
oh my goooooo
thanks Uncle Matt & Liam Senpai
I cant believe how this guy is talking so smooth playing this...hes so shadow...
3 recaps in different art styles.
Also SEGA: We needed a Saudi prince to make VF6.
Shadow would’ve got Abe again while he was down. Also why was that intro cool? Like actually cool
Appreciated.
It's a christmas miracle!
1:24:31 they would 100 percent use Morgana as the vehicle since he can transform into a van lol
15:16 he was in Shadow's solo game. He's the leader of G.U.N.
22:27 Shadow is at the party after you beat the final boss in Sonic Generations.
27:55 there aren't 47 endings. Just a large number of paths you can take to reach the endings. There are 10 endings that you can reach, and of course the true ending.
40:47 there's no Act 2 for the Tokyo level? Lame...
Decade? It's been nearly 20 YEARS since the Shadow solo game
Joker with the Morgana Van :)
8:46 So it was Shadow that cut down the Sycamore Gap tree.
Astro bot is kind of pot bellied?
I want a dark anime Sonic movie that opens to Lilium.
Sonic Adventure 2 is a better story about breaking the cycle of hatred than Last of Us 2.
Had to make sure we knew he didn’t mean Shadow at the beginning. There was gonna be a riot in his comments.
Hope they talk to the characters often, there’s some fun dialogue in there.
Wait did they censor the opening movie in the Japanese release?
The doctor in venom 3 I honestly thought they were setting her up as a bad guy, she was a sociopath!
Double Liam year!
What's up with Staro the conqueror on the main title screen!?
*Wild😂
Rail Canyon? Who better?
YES!!!
TOTAL. SHADOW. SATURATION!!
That Abraham Tower guy, wasn't it pretty much his fault GUN killed Maria and Gerald Robotnik?
No. He was even younger than Maria when all of that happened.
Much like shadow i would also rather blast myself to space then goto any birthday party
Strong start lol
Shadow would've shot shinzo Abe again.
I bought Sonic Frontiers and Octopath Traveler 2 then I caught covid. It was a very mild case, but Gatorade tasted absolutely amazing while literally everything else, including food, felt like I was trying to swallow broken glass.

Is Liam TRYING to get hit???
