Shadow the Hedgehog 1.3

Can someone explain to me what happened after the "close the game" message appeared in shadovv mode, I was so scared that I closed it immediately

He says "Damn", 10/10 but for real, this character is really good and neat

fun mod

This creation is Ultimate. It makes me so happy and turns this fan game (which mind you... is the s**t) into literally one of the best sonic games ever made. I cannot thank you enough! Certainly a dream made true considering Sega likes to keep my favorite Ultimate Lifeform from most of their titles. I have always wanted to play Shadow where his Chaos Control abilities (chaos snap) is readily used. If you like Shadow; I can guarantee you will be at Awh!
If only I can find even 1 damn chaos Emerald in this game... But, being new and learning the stages still- I find myself saying "Where is that damn spilt ring" more often

I think the homing attack should be set to spin (like surge), as it clashes with his chaos snap.

This version of Shadow I had a lot of fun with. Animations are in character, and its abilities are fun to use!

POSITIVES
+ Fun abilities that allow Shadow to fly through levels
+ Super Shadow! (I have yet to test him out, however.)

NOTICES
/ Not very beginner friendly, but Shadow tends to be a more experienced level character anyways.

The easter egg I found also got a good chuckle out of me. I wont say what it is here (But people will most likely find it themselves), but I love small gags like these!

Tried this character out for the first time today; after completing an all-emeralds run, I feel confident in saying that this is one of the most fun custom characters I've tried.

The sprites and animation are excellent and fit right in with the vanilla art style. I played with music turned off today, so I really appreciated the skating sounds. No complaints in terms of visuals and sound design.

Having played through the standard vanilla 2.2 campaign, I can safely say that Shadow's moveset is both fun and well-balanced for the game. There are some pretty wild shortcuts you can take, but they require some mastery of the chaos snap, and in standard gameplay, the chaos snap feels neither overpowered nor underpowered.

I'd say the chaos snap feels like a more controllable (and cooler-looking) thok, particularly since you can snap backwards or upwards to recover if you overshot your destination. (And I'm saying this as someone who's actually become decently skilled with Sonic's thok.)

The ability to aim your snap upwards when not holding a direction is a good way to squeeze multiple actions out of the limited button set. It reminds me of how the spindash and peelout work in the Genesis games.

There is one issue, though, and it's the reason why I can't give this a perfect rating. The chaos snap would often end up bonking me into a wall/ledge with an inaccessible monitor nearby, due to its homing ability. I don't know how feasible it would be to implement (I've noticed that Modern Sonic has similar issues), but stopping the snap from homing into objects you can't actually reach would help a lot here.

I commend the choice to limit the character to vanilla-style controls (only jump and spin buttons being used), and in general, I think it succeeds at that with flying colors. The unwanted homing bonks are just a little too frequent for my taste.

(Yes, I am aware of Shadow Plus, but I am rating this add-on as its own thing.)

Overall, this is an excellent mod, and if I were to compile a list of must-install add-ons, you can bet that Shadow would be included.

POSSIBLE SPOILER FOLLOWS:

I'm really glad I didn't read the reviews beforehand; the easter egg caught me by surprise, and I must admit: I laughed. I'd have to disable that before letting kids play with the character, though; I wouldn't want them to start quoting it!

BRUH YOU SCARED ME WITH YOUR "SHADOVV" CHARACTER AF, I THINKED MY HEART WILL EXPLODE, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? =( also i will not do a bad rating because of that, but i seriously thinked i will die now because of "heart attack"

Perfect. Most fun I've had playing a character so far. Easter eggs both had me laughing my ass off.

Having snap and homing attack on the same button completely ruins the mod.

This mod is kinda good i will give it unilimited/10 (also don't download the shadovv mod)

perfect but how do i use the chaos abilities?

I've come to make an announcement!

Shadow the Hedgehogs a wonderful modification with a perfectly simplistic moveset and top-notch sprite-work, so much so that if SRB2 wasn't a "Classic" era game, Shadow would fit right in, no questions asked.

Now you have 23 hours to download this mod before I start rapidly approaching your location, with very ill intentions!

Jokes aside, I understand the people complaining the Homing Attack be chained to Chaos Snap, but Classic Sonic characters are designed in a very specific way - they all behave nearly identically, except for their midair ability, which is what mainly differentiates them. I much prefer having Chaos Snap and Homing Attack on the same button.

...thoooough, now since SxSG has released, maybe somebody could create a patch and turn the Homing Attack into a Homing Chaos Snap like that game?

I'm very aware this addon isn't getting updated anymore.

What is SHADOVV cus I saw some guy say he had a heart attack because of it, also 5 star cus shadow da goat

Shadow The Hedgehog is really amazing and it runs very smoothly when I tried it, I saw that it had a little problem in its super form with some textures but nothing serious like crashing or glitches

I LOVE Shadow! He is fast but still controllable thanks to chaos snap.
And when you get super Shadow its soooo worth it because you get infinite chaos snaps and a helpful chaos spear/lance. That's why I'm rating this 5 stars. :)

Can we all agree that's the best shadow for SRB2 so far, like his move set and sprites are the best so far in my opinion. Totally deserve 5 stars.

This character deserves maps made around his awesome teleport ability and I may attempt doing that one day. That said, this does represent a lot for SRB2's story and now the dedication behind it with 2.2's arrival. Just excellent

Amazing character. So much was put into this to the point that Shadow might be my SRB2 "main" for a long time!

Nice sprite work, fun abilities. I got to play this with some of Kart Krew the other day and I had a pretty good time.
