It really isn't, given the said Chaos emeralds move/protect itself against Time eater while their Time is erased/drained (which is better than any immeasurable speed feat), it's similar to classic avatar Case in forces they just got buff.
After looking at your points, it's kind of weird how they don't let Shadow use spin dahs or boost much more than Chaos Control (besides sonic prime), they probably trying to balance Shadow between his hedgehog abilities and Emerald's abilities, which leads to him either being more or less involved
They still do same damage to the bosses. The only superiority would be speed which boost can do it instant.
That would require us to treat Game Mechanics on the same level as actual lore.
You could just have the Incomplete Time Eater upscale from the base cast initially, have the Chaos Emerald itself upscale him, and just have Perfect Chaos be as strong as the initial showing of the "full power" of the Emeralds. Honestly, the "full power of the Emeralds" is already inconsistent enough as it is if you ask me. It feels like the slider gets shifted constantly. It'd be easier to just scale to the most reasonable highest power of the Emeralds in that instance.
It's why I just say give him his Sonic Battle powers. It isn't hard to do, it isn't broken cuz everyone is able to withstand the attacks without it being a one-shot, and it literally solves all of the problems with Shadow's powers/capabilities being completely underutilized.
Shouldn't this be Chao emerald own feat?, given they (by themselves without anyone influence) defend themselves from Time eater while moving in erase Time (unlike Super Sonic or doom shadow).
AGREE AGREE AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY like c'mon Sonic Team how do y'all forget that Shadow can teleport without an Emerald
I mean if that's gonna downgrade sonic speed to Superhuman-Subsonic, I'm fine with that. Home attack and boost damage aren't that different.
Sonic Team makes Shadow's kit so boring by only letting him do ONE thing and ONLY when he has a specific item when he literally HAS that energy running through his body to be able to do it anyway.
Let's not get hasty LOL. You aren't getting your downgrade. We literally see Sonic outpacing lasers, needing to reach light speed for time travel in CD, and even more. Literally check the scaling of the wiki all the way since the Classic Era. One "anti-feat" (not really one) doesn't negate literally every feat before and AFTER it.
Literally the most desperate cope for a downgrade in the multiverse LMAO
Out here trying to make him an Emerald merchant
Sonic the Hedgehog being only Superhuman speed is certainly a take of all time
He's always been the Chaos Energy merchant. I HATE the fact Sonic Team is treating Shadow like "Sonic, but always has a Chaos Emerald firmly placed within his ass and when it isn't there, he is basically a wet noodle".
Sonic in gameplay is slower, there is no feat in gameplay that let him move at superSonic speed.
It's gotta be bait LMAO
Dawg what
I mean its pretty funny
Sonic has Light speed, FTL, and MFTL+ feats in gameplay tho :/
@McFriesGuy075 argue if we're gonna use gameplay to equalise home attack and boost then every gameplay walkthrough should be considered too.

That's not what I said. I pointed out how Homing Attack would have Damage Boost as a subset of the Spin Dash.
Those lasers moves slower than Superhuman.
Aside from him outspeeding lasers, running from a black hole, reacting to a ship going at interstellar travel, needing to accelerate to light speed in order to travel through time in CD, etc.
Besides sonic unable to outspeed Rocks in Sonic Heroes. Finish a level in under a minute and so on.
Ah, I see. Though there isn't much about power difference between the two besides him using it against Time eater (which didn't help in the final battle).
probably cool image but I cant see it due to being British
We could honestly do the same to everyone, so everyone would be equal.
You would be surprised by the amount of people out there scaling gameplay speed without statements (I saw someone scaling Goku at 255mph from dragon ball Z kakarot).
