​@@xenobestx8423lmfao noooo the nostalgia.😂😂

[@artsykero]

My biggest thing about this franchise is they teased sonic can also use chaos control but never touched on it again after SA2. Sonic just feels like a stagnant character in terms of what he’s capable of whereas shadow is constantly learning new things Shadow is just better in every way, its less about his personality and how he just constantly evolves without plot armor

[@MrKing-he3eo]

Sonic evolved in frontiers but thats about it. However you could say the same for shadow since he hasnt gotten anything new in a while until now. With future open zone games the combat should allow the playable characters to get new moves and abilities.

[@rickyronny4019]

Have you played Frontiers? Sonic unlocked a bunch of new moves there

[@silverstar1614]

Sonic never was made to evolve, he was made to be the protagonist that makes OTHERS learn how to improve, not he learn from other how to improve himself

[@weirdosonicfan2309]

Sonic is an odd creature even in Shadow's eyes. He can evolve with just about every power in the universe thrown at him. But Shadow... he is the ultimate lifeform. And from being ambidextrous, to picking up any weapon or method of fighting and acing it he has proven time and again that he is able to evolve above and beyond what he was designed to be. And it partially has to do with how his mind works. Though credit where credit is due, Sonic can clearly improve 😅

[@EdgeKing-ix2ci]

Sure, Sonic doesn’t undergo serious development like Shadow, but he's still a cool character

[@Jaggedfire]

7:31 Shadow pulled a Spider-Man 2 Venom with growing symbiotic wings

[@spenserfarman3045]

I'm guessing that's Black Doom's DNA finally showing itself. Dr. Gerald stated that Shadow was created by adding some of BD's genetics in the game, but they never actually expanded on how much because Shadow just looks like another Sonic.

[@phantom-X2086]

​@spenserfarman3045 That's what I'm liking about the direction of the series now. I'm hoping that Sonic Team gives someone like Knuckles some kind of chaos based abilities since he should be attuned to chaos energy due to being around the Master Emerald a lot.

[@fandemanga3378]

Shadow is not Sonic That’s something I’m grateful that the devs behind Sonic X Shadow Gen understood when creating this game so that the Shadow part of the game just doesn’t feel like Sonic’s with a different skin Sure, they might be similar, but Shadow has enough unique elements to his character to set him apart and make his gameplay different from Sonic’s Instead of Spin Dash, Shadow uses Chaos Control to impact into enemies Shadow can run on the walls thanks to his Air Shoes, and he can use Chaos Control to deliver more damage onto certain obstacles All of this and more is enough for the Shadow experience to be separated from Sonic’s and still be enjoyable, something I’m so glad that they decided to do
