Shadow Generations: SA2 Style Skating Animation

[@bottomtext593]

You can tell the person who made this mod has actually skated on rollerblades before. Best one out there.

[@masterofgamesbrian7058]

From what someone said, Shadow's current animation works as well, which makes sense

[@masterofgamesbrian7058]

What I mean by "which makes sense" is because there's different styles of skating, and no one skates the same way

[@user-jx5ig5dz2w]

No .!!!! Its the skate Animation of Adventure 2 Battle stpd

[@bellarosa_]

Not really. Shadow uses a speed skating technique known as double push, which looks different than what the animation is showing.

[@masterofgamesbrian7058]

[@GottaBGlitches]

"this mod replaces his running animation!" **proceeds to pick the one level where you barely see the running animation**

[@JJEHUTYY]

Is this the steam version?

[@BBK113]

​@@JJEHUTYYobviously

[@JJEHUTYY]

@@BBK113 Obviously not, since I asked.

[@BBK113]

@JJEHUTYY it's pretty obvious that's it's either the steam or epic store versions of the game because what console do you know is able to put modded character animations into its games?

[@JJEHUTYY]

@@BBK113 Uncliented versions & emulators exist you know. Think Epic games/ Steam is the only way to play games. Why are you even trying to argue with me? Its clearly not obvious, move around..

[@Keanine]

If anyone uses a skating mod, make sure to turn on the code Animation->Disable Flying Boost Fall. This will make Shadow use the falling animation when in the air instead of the skating animation

[@LeondreWilsono0o]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Chibi_Rikka]

Gonna be honest Chaos Island is like the worst level to showcase a new running animation given how few areas of straight running it has. It's primarily jumping, grinding or squid-ing.

[@TechBlade9000]

Glad we agree it's Doom SQUID and not morph

[@Millbear1]

100%

[@Chibi_Rikka]

@@TechBlade9000 Always has been. xD

[@neon8292]

honestly with the grapple mechanics ive just been calling it ‘the better forces avatar’

[@PolarityOfNeoSoulCity]

I always saw Sunset Heights as the better demonstration stage for any kind of run animation since you get a shot of it close, and you can boost without much in the way of the view

[@StanleySophana]

I was expecting his skating animation be as fast as it was in SA2, but overall amazing to see it in Generations

[@rickydargence5948]

Why don't people showcase these on white space with the camera relatively close to shadow? Side view, front view, etc...?

[@seanboglio3605]

"I want to showcase a running animation mod." "I think I'll use the stage where we do the least running"

[@cafequente8252]

SA2 does have the best skating animation. I just wish boosting didn't speed up the motion, but I guess that is harder to mod

[@windy3935]

Nah, overrated. Shadow's super exaggerated movement carries the skating animation. Heroes and Dash/Speed Battle I think have better skating animations.

[@cafequente8252]

I do like Heroes and Shadow 2005 the most out of official game ones too I haven't seen how it looks in dash for a long time tho, so I don't remember those

[@TheJmack90]

@@windy3935 Definitely not overrated. Everyone always gushes about the modern animation

[@windy3935]

@@TheJmack90 Who is gushing about the modern animation and from which games specifically? Unless it's the more recent fans, I don't see that being the case.

[@TheJmack90]

@@windy3935 The Forces/Shadow Gens animation. Generally the same one people have been using for Shadow mods in Sonic Gens for years. Look up “Real Shadow Gens mod”

[@GamingintheAM0801]

2:05 His skating syncs up with the beat of the music here

[@HakumeiTenshi]

This seems more like his skating animation in Heroes/Shadowthegame. Still looks great tho

[@TemporalZack]

And you chose Chaos Island Act 1, where most of the time Shadow is either in the air or in his Doom Morph form, to show off this skating animation mod? Think it through, man

[@HaydenPrometheus45]

To be fair, it is one of the best stages in the game (especially for speedruns)

[@migalateus5571]

@@HaydenPrometheus45but the video was supposed to showcase the skating mod not speedrun the stage lmao

[@frets3516]

​@@HaydenPrometheus45 interesting, I thought it was the worst level by far lol

[@drheatsync7991]

This kinda lacks the aggressiveness in SA2's skating when Shadow is going at high speed. I think it wouldn't hurt to play SA2 again as reference.

[@ominicronikal0902]

This is the best he looked while skatin' tbh

[@Bulzeeb15]

Now I just need one with his OG skating white rocket booster effects and I'll be set. The default thrusters just aren't very noticeable

[@Beastmd]

we need someone to port the sa2 animations straight up, this is cool but I wish his arms were more inwards

[@SmileyWorldOfficialChannel]

Thank you for playing with DC SA2 Shadow model :D

[@blackheart2019]

They’re rocket shoes that push enough air to the ground to hover you a few inches off of it. I would imagine them to be difficult on directional input like an air hockey puck

[@sintave1547]

Glad to see people who also like SA2 scating animation

[@AsteroidTheGamer2124]

This needs to be the official boost animation

[@mk8-mkwil117]

Exactly

[@InflatablezPlus]

no it shouldnt lol

[@mk8-mkwil117]

@@InflatablezPlus true it shouldn’t be an animation like this but it’s just give me a glimpse of what his boost animation could have been like in the early boost era of sonic.

[@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012]

i prefer the flying boost

[@mk8-mkwil117]

@ same here his flying boots animation reminds me of super sonic running animations in a way for some reason.

[@RaiginAnimator]

Ngl this is pretty dope.

[@LucarioDXAuraStorm]

I LOOOOOOSSSTTTTT!!!!!!!! This is FANTASTIC!!! Who ever made this mod knows ball

[@YoJoRockThaBeat]

This skating animation is so crisp!! Hopefully Sega takes notes! This is much better than him just levitating off the air!

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

There needs to be a Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 reboot.

[@sikosonix901]

Reboot? Did you mean remake/remaster?

[@windy3935]

Hell no. Remaster. It's the lesser of the two evils.

[@Hurtle885hu8bu]

I’d be happy with just a port, honestly.

[@CC-ks6nm]

We need a remake that includes the original game as extra content (?)

[@windy3935]

Port sound ideal, but they have a higher chance I think of having issues like input lag/delay, which is top tier issue we don't want. Remasters are ports, just enhanced... ports. I know those can some with their own issues too, but if we could just have a disciplined remaster, then it's the best option out of them all. @@CC-ks6nm Remakes virtually never contain the original game. It's still not remotely a standard today. Also, it's mostly counterproductive to do that tbh. It's better for us to just operate on what's realistic, especially on the topic of Sega. There is absolute zero possibility they would include the original Sh05 game in a Sh05 remake, let alone even getting a (faithful) Sh05 remake to begin with. But yes personally, I'd like basically a polished Tomb Raider I-III situation, or Medievil but with the remake artstyle being more faithful than that game turned out to be.

[@mediamuncher69]

I Love this skating mod SO MUCH!

[@God-xd1wr]

So, so, SO much more sauce than in every other game’s top-speed animation.

[@afshansaleem4279]

Man this is so good that it makes me wanna play sa2 again I'ma go play it now 3:54

[@Terminal_Apotos]

That ramp animation is so good

[@EzBeeZerK]

I was gonna say that it would be more accurate if the leg going up would be more behind the one that is on the ground for example, if the left leg would be going forward it would kind of go to the left and the right leg would be going backwards and up and going to the more to the left where both of the legs and feet lineup but it’s called SA2 styled so whatever I just wanna animation where it’s basically the sa2 animation, but even better

[@natancucick6828]

Okay now i want one with the Shadow The Hedgehog game animation

[@TheRuggedEchinda]

This mod was an instant cop. My boy’s got weight again.

[@TisseroveFhix]

I've been waiting for character's animations to reflect the speed of their movement like they used to in sa2. even if it's ugly supposedly. I also miss using spin dash to charge in place, aim, then use its momentum jumping off of slopes to reach extra height.

[@hoplabobla]

This is awesome 😁

[@Lanoman123]

if it was really SA2 style Shadow would be rapidly spazzing when boosting

[@KyanoAng3l0_24]

Not quite the same as SA2's but close enough I suppose. I do remember someone making an accurate port to Sonic Colors (of all games), so I hope someone does the same for Shadow Gens. I hope to see someone port his skating from Heroes as well. As much as I love SA2, I actually prefer Heroes' skating anim.

[@GustavoAventuras7732]

Awesome

[@BluStarDogger7490]

The boost animation could've been inspired by Shadow's skating motion from the third Sonic movie's trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4TYZ5xonquAhZI&si=oU2KZes3qb7Uxuo0

[@EatinBubsy]

100x better. Will deffo use this

[@j.c.denton2312]

how did you get both the model and the animation to work at the same time? no matter what I do one seems to cancel out the other

[@kelmro9654]

How did you get the skin and the animation together mine wont work together?

[@luckyw769]

Is it just me or is this still not quite the same as SA2?

[@DatBoiRatchet]

It's not the SA2 animations

[@phantomus9963]

Hooray!! Shadow looks like he is actually skating now!! :D

[@Dejon-m6r]

Amen

[@TheUltimateNatural]

So uh how do you guys create stuff like this?

[@egocentricblack3278]

Why would you do this on chaos Island?😂 That's the only stage where you're barely just running.

[@jeanevil2235]

How to you use Skating animation with other model?

[@luislebronaponte2737]

I can't tell what it is, but it still doesn't properly feel like the SA2 skating animation. 🤔

[@hypno18s]

NO WAY 😳

[@KeltkeGH]

That skating animation doesn't feel very natural in this game

[@blackheart2019]

I realize now that the boost gameplay slows you down to really analyze the stage you play whereas with a spin dash you use a burst of momentum to blast through without really paying attention to anything

[@AyaneOfDeath]

I wish Sega would have keep this animation until today. His running animation are so not cool since Sonic Heroes

[@Borvoc]

Saga hasn’t made a good skating animation since SA2.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

I promise you _revenge._

[@sebastiantorres7299]

Nice Video

[@1dayago843]

_Still quite not right..._

[@arc7375]

Too slow and clunky to be SA2 Shadow’s skating.

[@lyozxwings]

What is this stupid trend with people using Chaos Island Act 1 to showcase skating mods? Is this some kind of meme?

[@rmat9023]

his animations a little janky, and too slow. And no flames... :(
