Shadow the Hedgehog 1.3

one of the most popular and vanilla like characters of all time. it does warn that he is difficult to master which prevents me from giving a 4

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.

I like OP characters so 10/10 or 5/5

He may not have his array of weapons from the all time classic, Shadow the Hedgehog the Game, but he does cool teleport-fu instead. Somewhat more difficult then other characters, so I can't recommend him for beginners, but capable of crazy stuff for those who can manage to control him. Has some hidden depths as well...

Very fun and enjoyable.

Shadow plays really well and the secrets were hilarious. Keep up the great work!

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.

I love it! now we can enjoy the magic of a shadow that is the ultimate life form

Love the mod, tons of fun to play and the abilities are awesome!

Wonderful! The sprite work is amazing and the gameplay is substantially improved!

Excellent mod. Really fun to play.

I'e always liked the dumb "Evil Version Of Good Main Character" trope, thus i've always enjoyed Shadow to and extent, but never really LOVED him. But this mod, THIS mod made me realize why people like him so much. great art and animation, the posing he does when using chaos controll and the homing attack are great touches! Perfect mod!

One of my favorite characters ever made for 2.2.

Simplistic moveset that's easy for beginners to try, and great for masters to excel with. Chaos Snap being momentum based also makes it very incentivizing to use, considering it can even outspeed Sonic's thok in some instances. My only gripe (which might as well be a nitpick from how minor it is) is that downward Chaos Snap is done by holding spin, which makes it clunkier to do with any shield in tow. Homing Attack having a clear momentum difference from holding the button down also makes it very satisfying to use, and allows Shadow to plow through enemies a bit easier than he could in 2.1. Buffs to super (infinite chaos snaps/chaos spear that technically doubles as a super hover) makes collecting the emeralds VERY worth it.

The amount of visual polish is a treat for the eyes, as Shadow skates and snaps around zones more stylishly than ever before. Other smaller things (Homing Attack poses, being able to change skate fire color, etc.) also give it that extra nice touch. Some of the animations Shadow has are expertly referenced (i.e. his spring,falling, and skid being from Sonic Battle) and make the experience much more enjoyable on top of what makes it great already.

(Secrets within Shadow are also very neat, but I advise people to find out what they are for themselves.)

Overall, Shadow feels very cohesive and is a sheer blast to play any and every time.

Vanilla game completed with all 7 emeralds many times over. Play him. :)

hell yeah, this is what you call an "Ultimate Life Form". shadow in srb2 is what i'd consider a new standard for mods; easy to pick up, hard to master, different movement options, a lot of cool secrets, and most importantly: extremely fucking fun.
chaos snap is a massive upgrade from its 2.1 iteration, no question. momentum preservation is what this move needed to really evolve, and the added touch of being invulnerable for the first few frames really gives it something (especially since you can actually form new paths in custom maps specifically for shadow through hurtwalls!).
homing attack though, it's not my personal cup of tea. not bad by any means, it feels great and the posing after a rebound can be awesome, but the fact that chaos snap's problem has already been solved does make this a bit of a pointless move in comparison. i would personally much rather chaos snap than homing attack.
the visuals also need to be commended, shadow's sprites are honestly some of the highest quality i've ever seen on the message board, and are, again, a huge upgrade from 2.1. it all feels extremely dynamic and radiates shadow the hedgehog (game) for better or for worse.

the secrets, while relatively tucked away, are both hilarious and a blast to use. especially the one you unlock after beating castle eggman's special stage, i expected it but it didn't surprise me any less!

overall? absolute recommendation, must play, whatever you want to call it.

Ina, I acknowledge the effort and dedication you have given to Shadow. Honestly, the character is definitely one of my favorites, besides, he has the perfect moveset to make it flowable, you are the best.

This is an amazing character, for which we should have waited 5(0) years! Perhaps, yes, I also don't like how the Shadow loses its speed when teleported, but I think this is a feature of the character and this is how it should be

It's a professional-level character quality-wise.

It's much better than Forces' Episode Shadow!
