Sonic the Hedgehog: Minor Invulnerability Removals

[CloverDragon03]

So we just noticed this and I think we're all shocked that we ended up letting this slide...

Basically, amidst all the revisions following Shadow Generations being released, one that got added in was Evolved Doom Shadow having Invulnerability. As you can see from the justification though... It pretty much has no basis beyond vague similarities to Super Forms, and only in terms of game mechanics nonetheless. Like, wow, golden aura. Surely this is exactly like Super Forms, let's just give it all of the other Super Form abilities. Wow, Shadow doesn't take damage and loses rings, things that are gameplay mechanics without further elaboration.

Super Forms have statements of invulnerability and an actual basis in how the positive and negative emotions of the user drive them and all that. This has no such basis, and thus, it should be removed.

That's about it. Feel free to discuss, yada yada yada!

Edit: We also noticed that Metal Sonic, Metal Sonic 3.0, and Boom Shadow have Invulnerability for different reasons. The Metal Sonics have it via the Sonic Boom, but this was removed from Sonic due to its complete lack of evidence and this is just leftover from that, so that needs to be removed. Boom Shadow has it because of this reason:

Can envelope himself in a red aura that renders him invulnerable and allows him to plow through obstacles unharmed

This, too, is not evidence at all. It's just gameplay mechanics. So this needs to be removed as well.

Yeah, I take full responsibility on this, I think I was too liberal with it and made a correlation reliant on gameplay mechanics.

Unless we get future lore elaboration (ha, doubt it), then I agree with the revision fully.

 

[Eseseso]

Agree

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Looks simple enough.

 

[JJSliderman]

So what will this be replaced by? A “higher with Doom Wing” in the durability section?

 

[CloverDragon03]

Ye

 

[McFriesGuy075]

If you want further support for him not having Invulnerability, SSS Doom Shadow is the one of the Super rarity characters without the Invincibility trait.

 

[Theuser789]

Maybe we can change it to damage reduction. Either that or just make it have a higher durability.

 

[Speedblitzer50]

Agree

 

[Tonygameman]

Simple to go by.

 

[CloverDragon03]

Nothing really suggests an ability atm, so I'd chalk it up to durability

 

[CloverDragon03]

@DarkDragonMedeus We noticed some other Invulnerability ratings that need removing, could you check them out?

 

[Dark_Soul20189]

Looks good to me, I agree.

 

[McFriesGuy075]

Agree with the new evidence

I wonder if Classic Sonic's Strike Dash could qualify for Invulnerability... It has several statements of it making him invincible and invulnerable.

 

[ShakeResounding]

I 100% agree with the edited removals as well, they may just be a relic of the past tbh since Metal 3.0 and Boom Shadow specifically are likely profiles untouched meaningfully for ages.

Btw, Invulnerability is for Sonic Boom rather than Boost

Unless there's further elaboration on the invulnerability, no. And after a quick Google search on the move, I have my doubts that there is any

Edit: Agree with the thread btw

I have 3 statements for it at the moment, if what they say is true then it would allow him to be unaffected by fire, electricity, lasers and other projectiles. (and perhaps some other stuff I havent seen yet)

I swear I meant to type that

 

[LordGriffin1000]

I don't mind the removals.

We should probably update the vote.

I don't mind the removals.

 

[CloverDragon03]

Somehow missed that one, my bad

 

[CloverDragon03]

Bump

 

[JPTheGamer]

Yes, agree

 

[Mephistus]

Label it as higher dura

 

[KingTempest]

With my evaluation this should be good enough

 

[GlaceonGamez471]

So, uh... this was never applied
