How Sonic P-06 Transformed Shadow

Long time no see, P06. Shadow the Hedgehog received one of the biggest transformations in the game, so let's go back to the original and see all that was changed. Review of the Silver update: • Sonic P-06 Has Redeeme...

The day Project 06 is completed is gonna feel so wonderful but a bit sad in a good way y'know. Definitely the best Sonic Fan game ever made imo.

[@SithlordSigma]

would go so far as to say best fan remaster of all time, maybe even best remaster period.

[@Bionickpunk]

@@SithlordSigma I would agree with that statement if the fans somehow managed to fix 06 story. Heck just editing the story cutscenes would be an improvement.

[@leonardoalvarenga7572]

Project 06 doesn't even have proper controls.

[@KingTvlip]

Fun fact: You can actually maintain Uninhibited Shadow for as long as you want by triggering the transformation right as the bar depletes to zero. You lose access to Snap and Blast but you get free invincibility and the omega chaos spear

@@bunsmasterbunny It's most likely a bug, since you lose some abilities as I mentioned. I think it will be patched out in the next release.

[@DLxxx]

@@KingTvlip Almost. I believe it was said to be a debug feature that ChaosX used to help him test the mechanic during development. It's definitely being removed in the next update, since it was never meant for gameplay to begin with.

[@KingTvlip]

@@DLxxx That makes a lot of sense if that's the case. Unintentional Bug or Debug Feature, it's definitely not meant for gameplay, but I'll kinda miss it next update lol.

[@theanimatedone2313]

Even on vanilla 06, people have been recently asking for this game's take on the Ultimate Life Form for a full-blast return, both in gameplay and most importantly, in narrative/characterization given the last decade of material used for him. In the Ultimate form of irony, the game that people have bashed for eons is the same game that has the community's definitively preferred version of this guy from a writing perspective.

[@orlandofurioso7329]

Because 06 was always a good game under the glitches, sure it has many flaws but it's still in my top 3, and I did not play Sonic as a kid so it's not nostalgia

[@hiarus8850]

The writing in this game wasn't the worst thing in the world aside from that infamous scene, at least it was better than sonic forces

[@zigazav1]

​@@orlandofurioso7329 Yeah. The problem with 06 is that it was rushed out the door long before it was ready for release, to meet an anniversary deadline. The reason SEGA couldn't truly finish programming the game by that time, is partially due to that they were trying to tackle gaming stuff, that was too powerful for the hardware at the current era of it's development, to handle. Yeah, the Xbox 360 was relatively strong, but the consoles that Sonic 06 was released on, including Xbox 360m were not strong enough to have a decent build of the game in the way they wanted it to be, done before the deadline. Had they waited for more years for stronger gaming hardware to come out, they might've not have had such issues with the game as severe as it was for development. Now, I'm wondering, what would a timeline of today would be like, had SEGA instead waited longer to have a decent build of the game made?

[@orlandofurioso7329]

@@zigazav1 we would have had P-06 with hubs and challenges, and i would have loved it

[@Willie_Pete_Was_Here]

@@zigazav1 I believe that games with the gameplay style of Unleashed and Generations wouldn’t have existed, and if they were, they’d get made years later than they actually were. Sonic 06’s failure made Sonic Team realize that they weren’t able to make good games with the Adventure gameplay formula anymore, which is why Sonic got an overhaul in Unleashed. If this sounds familiar, that’s because the same thing happened with Forces. If 06 was a success, it would have been seen as a proper Sonic Adventure successor, or maybe Sonic Team would have attempt to make Adventure 3.

[@moobattle]

Shadow's new kit seems incredibly fun to route, both for high scores and speedruns

[@andrewkos5560]

I love Shadow in P-06, to the point where I do think I prefer him to Sonic in it. His combat centered gameplay imo fits the new scoring system the best and even if his vehicles aren't good, I still kind of prefer them to Mach Speed. Here's hoping the Silver update lives up to Shadows; his campaign absolutely needs the most work

[@seematahir5970]

As truly incredible as P-06 is, I did want to mention that even just emulating 06 on Xenia and using mods to restore cut content dramatically improves the game. Load times become negligible, you can restore proper air controls, Shadow's chaos powers become actually useful, etc. Its not as good as P-06, but it's a great answer to those who say that P-06 deviates too much and that OG 06 was fundamentally flawed. They're wrong, and while I'll always dream of a world where an 06 was made with the budget and care of Unleashed, there'll always be people who see the potential in games like these and put their damndest into making sure others can see it. You're a legend, Chaos.

[@sonickuso]

Man I love catching these videos, they're all so well done. The commentary is both super informative and comedic (not to mention the mic quality is also killer, I'd love to know what mic he uses) Keep up the amazing work!

[@bickuribox12]

CAD E100s, but honestly, the post processing effects and treating your space with proper sound absorption do way more heavy lifting than mic quality. It makes a difference of course, but if budgeting is a concern, you can start with something cheaper.

Honestly the P06 Shadow might be the best version of Shadow yet, and probably the best we’ll ever see it’s so clean, a massive 1 Up from the original 06 Shadow. Clearly Sega couldn’t come up with something as good as this for Shadow so well done ChaosX, dude deserves so much for this. Can’t wait to see how he handles Silver. We’ve had a sneak peek at what he’ll be like in the Silver sections of other characters levels but we’re gonna get a Super form for him and a more refined look at him in his own story AND BLAZE!

I really like your Sonic videos man. Not only you explain things very well by breaking it down, you also have jokes to crack too. Whether it be perfectly cut screams to telling Shadow it's ok, it's just so good. You also have a based moment at 11:49 by telling a woman to let go of you. Top Notch I tell you.

[@waluigisilver7773]

Shadow's combo gameplay is so cool that I kinda want ChaosX to give Silver some new moves to spice up his combat and maybe make him a bit of a combo character as well.

[@mariofan1ish]

I think the reason this overhaul of Shadow works so well is that it sounds like a combat-oriented take on traditional Sonic gameplay- but instead of hoarding rings and looking for alternate paths, your extending combos and looking for ways to chain enemies together. It's a surprisingly simplistic and effective approach actually.

[@TehHuskeydood]

Seeing you hit almost 100k subs in just the past couple months is truly something special. Seeing you go from around 10k to almost 100k is special and well deserved. One step closer to being Famous!

"so if you still felt like health bats were too big..." *enemy fucking loses it* "this is the solution"

[@quinndepatten4442]

I can see exactly what they were thinking with shadow and I love it. Literally the only problem was that there wasn't enough time to think everything through and test it properly. They want you to manage the amount of enemies (the chaos if you will) with the stun and carefully choose you will attack. Quick assessing things from the top down and then picking enemies off skillfully like an assassin of sorts. But everything is unclear and janky.

[@Karyru]

God I will always find myself laughing at the bits in these vids, very good job!

[@gameman5804]

I’m going to be honest… Sonic 06 already felt like a “Shadow Game” as his story was the most polished out of the three hedgehogs. P-06 further cements the idea into the game in it’s entirety to be a “Shadow Game”. 2006, even in retail, had more of an emphasis on platforming and combat where speed is limited to scripted events. It’s kind of why I don’t think the Adventure Physics work with 06 level design for Sonic. Shadow on the other hand, feels more built for the kind of game design route the game has. So the fact that P-06 actually refined his combat alone made it the easiest to get accustomed to. This kind of gameplay works for Shadow as he has his homing attack and chaos powers, and it’s often stated in reviews that Shadow only has a “Slightly Higher Emphasis On Combat” so he still has his moments for speed especially with the added Spindash.

[@_SSCJ]

You are so close 100k subs!! I hope you make it soon I love your content and your channel!

[@theeverythingchannel_yt]

1:43 Actually the spin-dash has been used since 06, in Lost World.

[@diva.5379]

absolutely in love with how well sonic and shadow compliment one another. sonic still has plenty of opportunity to rack up combos but his combat methods are a lot more straightforward (gems still exist and are more balanced but all you ever really need is the bounce and homing attack) and generally you're still more focused on blitzing through the stage for a good time. shadow, tho? i end up spending 10+ minutes in each stage just wailing on enemies and having an absolute blast with it. his gameplay is incredibly technical and rewarding in a completely different way from sonic that makes both characters shine despite being so fundamentally similar.

[@zyairetarver6985]

[@andreobarros]

First time I played project 06. I who never played the original besides for like 15~30 minutes, shortly after release. I was like, this is pretty cool looks pretty and seems more polished, but still is kinda janky. Like sonic keeps speeding up even if you are maneuvering him, like trying to change his direction and such, which means he is very dangerous. Also a lot of questionable enemy positions and amount of bottomless pits. But then one day, I saw this video of a guy trying out 06 but in 2022. And I watched, and I was like, sure. I will try it out. Got the rom got and emulator and went for a spin, then I downloaded the mod loader and enabled all the quality of life stuff, cuz its unbearable. I, then played almost the entire sonic story. And after, I went back to P-06. And holy shit this project is the holy grail itself. If alchemy claims to turn shit into gold, this may very well be the philosopher's stone.

[@free-manmusic3005]

This version of Shadow is my favorite character in pretty much any adventure style Sonic game. Makes me feel like I'm playing Devil May Cry with how much depth they have crammed into him. One thing that wasn't touched on in the vid that I absolutely love is this: killing an enemy with chaos spear(even the base spear if you charge it) will actually let you land for a small bit and perform exactly one spin dash before ending your combo. With this you can do insane strings, especially with ramped spin dash jumps. I cannot wait for Silver's campaign to be finished, and I hope that he has as much depth!

[@chimanruler15]

8:10: Shadow hit him so hard that it spaz the s**t out of it's existence.

[@aortaplatinum]

One teeny tiny thing I really love that original PS360 Sonic 06 actually did originally, is that you now have pseudo-invincibility frames during your homing attack. In Adventure-Shadow, if you timed a homing attack a split second too early or too late with an enemy who could shoot at you, you'd be sniped out of the air during the homing attack animation, between the time you hit the button and when the attack connects. But, base 06 actually fixed this [likely due to how many enemies are in the game and how nearly all of them have ranged attacks], you can just ignore machine gun fire and even missiles to home in and blast some poor Egg Gunner or Iblis Biter into ragdoll oblivion. Shadow the Hedgehog tried to alleviate this issue by giving you your own ranged weapons, but since you're still vulnerable while firing or swinging, it didn't do much, more of just a band-aid solution. So 06 went in and fixed this and it's another thing that shows the potential the game has always had, potential only just now being realized a decade after release.

[@speed_queen]

Gonna be honest, I’ve played through Sonic 06 multiple times, and I didn’t even know there was a chaos blast option until watching this video. Looks like I wasn’t missing out on much though lol. To be fair, I purposely avoided using shadow’s chaos boost moves just because 9 times out of 10, they would get me killed just because of how janky is was and they pretty much didn’t make a difference damage wise.

[@MisterTTG]

mannn, that chaos blast replacement is so cathartic 😁

[@charmedpluto6851]

Shadow has had the glow up of a life time with P06. There is nothing more satisfying than going uninhibited mode at the end of Aquatic base right before the goal ring and just absolutely eviscerating everything in that last room. The squad of purple bird enemies all being wiped out with a single chaos blast that also persists long enough to also kill the golems therefore maxing out your meter again right before the end just feels so good.

[@matededdneddy]

the work the creator of sonic p06 has done is nothing short of amazing cause he is doing a great feat to fix the most infamous sonic game ever launch and turning it into a great game not sure if theres anything he can do for the story but the gameplay being polished and making it fun could make up for the story cause sonic 06 already had great music and this project is giving it great gameplay fixing not only the main characters but the side characters too wonder what great changes silver's episode will bring
