B (Homing Attack): The only special move he shares with Sonic. It has the same reaction time as Sonic's, but has the possibility of knocking opponent's back upon impact

Charging this makes Shadow appear farther away with the desired position indicated by an actual shadow on the ground. If done in the air, Shadow will teleport downwards immediately
B + Up (Chaos Control): Shadow teleports straight forwards in an afterimage. If he appears next to an opponent, he will attack them with a powerful kick

Icon: The Sonc Team icon

Victory Music: The regular Sonic victory theme

Kirby Hat: Shadow's black and red spines

When Chosen: "Ultimate victory"

Snake Codec:

(Snake) Another hedgehog?
(Colonel) Don't write him off just yet. There's more to Shadow then you think.
(Snake) Shadow. As in Project Shadow?
(Colonel) So you know of it.
(Snake) Yeah, it came up when I dug around for some info on the Guardian Nations, never thought it was a hedgehog though.
(Colonel) From what I know he was created by Professor Gerald and intended to be the Ultimate Lifeform.
(Snake) Hmm, this is seeming disturbingly familiar.
(Colonel) My thoughts exactly. Right now we can't determine who's side he's on, so take caution around him. With the Chaos Emeralds he's able to use Chaos Control, making him someone you don't want as an enemy.
(Snake) I'll just need to think one step ahead then.

Palutena's Guidence:

(Pit) Hey look! It's Sonic!
(Viridi) Are you color blind? That's clearly Shadow! That's like mistaking Dark Pit for you!
(Dark Pit) I heard that! Don't even think of comparing me with that hedgehog!
(Palutena) Well you do kinda sound like him you know.
(Dark Pit) You know what? I'm not gonna bother. I'm out. Later.
(Pit) So anyway, what's the deal with Shadow?
(Palutena) Well Shadow was one of Dr. Gerald Robotnik's creations as the Ultimate Life Form and from there it gets complicated what with the aliens and clones.
(Pit) I take it he's similar to Sonic?
(Palutena) A bit, but he uses Chaos Control which harnesses the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Your best bet is to keep your distance when he unleashes it.
(Pit) Gotcha! Alright Shadow prepare to meet your maker!

Stage: Space Colony ARK

The stage takes place below the ARK itself, below the Eclipse Cannon. Falling and floating debris act as the platforms and players have to constantly jump from one to another. In the background, the Black Comet can be seen in the distance. Staying towards the center is not advised as the Eclipse Cannon will occasionally fire and shoot a beam straight downwards.

Credits Music: Throw it All Away
Decided it was time for yet another Sonic character. Know there's been a lot of fan movesets done for Shadow, but I wanted to do my own take on him. He is of course not a Sonic clone as one would expect, using moves from SA2, Battle, and his solo game.
