Idk man maybe it's bc I'm in stupid hyper fixation mode but I really feel like Sega just hasn't gotten the feel of Shadow since SA2 like they dropped the ball after that bc he wasn't supposed to even be a character anymore

#idk idk idk. the animations and voice acting in sa2 are perf for him #like hes not angry when doing stuff. a lot of new games the weight of the animation on his model #and his angry grunts when hes doing moves make him feel like frantic and angry?#while im sa2 hes just got a very smooth animation when he skates and he feels bouncy #and he like quips during battles! this dude unironically says 'im the coolest' after completing levels #and his grunts during moves are like? not him exerting anger. he's just very focused. its more like you can tell hes just exerting effort #meanwhile new games this dude is like growling under his breath like relax. i struggle to see shadow in new games as the #same shadow in sa2 who very quietly goes 'hm' and nicely pets a chao #idk idk #something something shadow in sa2 was mistranslated during the localization and American audiences didnt understand #his kuudere-esque personality. hes bishuonen reserved-tragic boy material. not edgy hot topic #and then for the next several decades they tried to convince me he is edgy got topic 😭😭😭#sonic movie 3 got it right bc they mostly pulled from sa2 duh #i mean theres hints of shadow the Hedgehog etc with his background #but his characterization is -MOSTLY- sa2 trafic bishonen antagonist #mostly bc theres a fucking akira slide and he uses a gun at one point #idk man SHADOW man iKDN HES A SOFT GUY HES SAD HES SAD HES SAD NOT EDGY HES TRAGIC TRAGIIIC #SMASHES BACK INTO THIS REAL QUICK - ALSO LETS NOT FORGET SHADOW CRIES IN SA2???#i mean im glad shadow generations actually WENT VACK AND LET HIM CRY BECAUSE HE FUCKING CRIES IN HIS FIRST GAME #WHY DID IT TAKE YALL SOLONG LOL?
