I just saw Sonic X Shadow generation’s collectors edition set and my first thought was it was top tier
Then I looked at the price

who?in their god maldita mind will think it was fodder?I guess this confirms perfect chaos wasn't fodder after all. Base sonic is just built different.

You know, one thing I saw on Twitter—Though it probably won’t happen—Is the neat idea of Generations getting updates/new stages after a new (separate) game release. Obviously not on par with a whole new title, like Sonic X Shadow, but more similar to Mario Kart 8’s bonus tracks. As Sonic as a game series develops, new stages are added to keep in line with Eggman’s attack on Past, Present, and Future, but also it helps keep Generations as an utter celebration of the franchise that it unabashedly is.

You know what's nice about this? It's that SEGA is acknowledging a, to be honest, forgotten aspect of Shadow's identity where he has Black Arms DNA in him due to what we learn in Shadow the Hedgehog. And so logically speaking, being a hybrid and all that, Shadow would be able to utilize the abilities that the Black Arms can use.
So it makes me feel happy that SEGA isn't afraid to embrace the edginess of the 2000's and make something bombastically insane and cool like this.

Hopefully some of these can be mainstay abilities for Shadow moving forward. It'd be a waste to have them become one-offs never visited again.

... from Sonic Team.
Any other notable franchise would dig their teeth into the potential this holds.

Hey, the fact they actually kept the open zone structure instead of tossing it is a decent sign to me they want to expand on concepts.

I think it’s funny that canonically there’s just a random island in Sonic that generates magic radiation to give the Chaos Emeralds (whatever the plot needs the item
) MORE POWERS as if the Emeralds couldn’t already just have them innately.

I'm still so damn pissed about that. Even if they didn't want Super Sonic to be overdhadowed by Starfall Super Sonic in future instalments and that's why they didn't let him keep it, they could have just given the form a different drawback to ensure Sonic doesn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

Either Shadow's Doom Powers are so busted that they make him 1-C or Metal Overlord may need to be downgraded into Low 2-C (Looking back at the Sonic Heroes fight, were the emeralds even emotionally charged??)
- 6,716

We have no reason to downgrade the Characters
ShakeResounding

Seems so, as the prelude to the fight has that whole "super power of teamwork" spiel and has the cast coming together in support of Team Sonic. That and Team Sonic's positivity towards each other.

I see then, guess that means we'll have to wait on how the new abilities work (or if it's an outlier)
- 5,541
- 1,539
I’ll be honest, the emotional charge thing feels a bit arbitrary and could probably apply to a lot of bosses, if you fanangle hard enough.
- 7,844

Yeah, it's better to just downgrade Overlord and add a new tier 2 feat for Base Cast.
- 6,716
- 2,485
Are you being sarcastic?
- 7,844
- 4,149
No. I think even in the original thread I was neutral in upgrading Overlord to Full Power Super Form tier.
- 5,541
- 1,539
Or just say that base is now tier 1 and later bosses upscale.
- 6,716
- 2,485
yeah but we will downgrade him?
- 6,716

This one sounds better

Isnt the only tier 1 stuff (outlier) for base cast being able to fight with is Transformed Void?
- 5,541

There’s this Overlord scenario, Perfect Chaos being described as fighting the full power of the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Channel, Infinite being stated as the strongest Sonic enemy, and Werehog Sonic powering up Dark Gaia into semi perfect Dark Gaia (who has a downscaling chain to tier 1 super stuff) as well as critically damaging Semi-Perfect.
- 7,844
- 4,149
Yes. Upgrading base cast to full power super form tier creates a circular scaling chain, and Metal Overlord never had the best arguments to be at that tier.

That just seems like a you problema rather than a genuine thing

I personally don't buy the characters growing in power over time, so, I'm mostly just listening in on this from the sidelines.
