[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game

[wonderweiss]

Sorry SUSTIC. Been busy watching anime while everyone else in the house is watching boxing. Respect for those who stay up watching boxing longer than I can watch anime. Sorry, but I'm gone for the day.

[SUSTIC]

Well I guess this thread is officially asleep for the night. I guess to anyone who is on cya later.

I hate working a night shift. Have to get my sleep during the day then work most of the freaking night. Only like 5 hours of actual me time before I have to go to work.

[S121]

@SUSTIC

Sorry for not really being active.

It's just one of those days, one of those slow days.

[SUSTIC]

It's okay.

I just get quite bored when there is absolutely no one on -_-

It's also one of those days that it seems people are avoiding you as when you log on you saw that people were active right before you got on, but just as soon as you posted people begin to stop posting. You think that people are ignoring you, but in reality others actually ended up doing something else and your timing is just bad.

[S121]

Yep, it's happened to me more than a few times, so no worries, you're not alone on that one.

[SUSTIC]

Anyways I saw that I didn't miss anything IC wise as there was no new posts. I guess everyone is waiting on others? (Wriggle, Katrix, Mima, me, Neo, and Mega.)

[S121]

Yep.

I'm waiting on Wriggle and Katrix.

[SUSTIC]

Well I guess I'm waiting for Katrix as well. I suppose you are waiting for Katrix to post before making an update with Raven, Chung, and the others in London right?

[S121]

Correct.

[SUSTIC]

Okay good.

Anyways in the sequel I might not bring Alucard, and instead bring back Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Eggman. Maybe not Silver though (unless people want me to bring him in.)

Also I would like to see Shadow fight John. Same with Silver.

Silver: "IT'S NO USE!" *Proceeds to use Psychokinesis to create a large freaking boulder of cars, trees, rocks, and other various objects John. He then launches the boulder at John*

Shadow: "There's no time to play games, you won't even get the chance!" *Proceeds to use Chaos Control, he then fires a barrage of Chaos Spears at John which freezes in place due to Chaos Control. After Chaos Control ends all that John sees is a dozen spears formed out of Chaos Energy surrounding him from all sides*

Dr. Robotnik: "Get a load of this!" *Activates every single one of his machines and makes John their main target.*

[S121]

@SUSTIC

One word........

Spoiler:

Armorlock and Corridors.

No, he won't overuse it and warp around, stabbing people with his energy sword, but he'll keep it in mind, just in case things get to be too much.

I'm pretty sure Robotnik is going to be a little afraid of John, ever since John shot his gun out of his hand. John does not play around like Sonic. He will kill you if you attack him. 0_0

[SUSTIC]

Still I think Shadow will be more than a match for John. Silver as well due to his cheap Psychokinesis (able to use his Psychokinesis to grab and stun John himself and his suit, though what use is that going to do? Toss him into the air? Toss him into a wall?)

Shadow will most likely be the only one to be capable of fighting John one on one, and actually be able to fight on somewhat even ground with John (though if Shadow got a few Chaos Emeralds on him, or even all 7 then it would be a literally battle to the death.)

Shadow's abilities:
Basic physical traits between Shadow and Sonic are virtually identical. As such, Shadow possesses many of the same skills and abilities as Sonic has, along with greater raw power than Sonic, making Shadow one of the most powerful characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Although he is not nearly as strong as Power characters like Knuckles the Echidna, Shadow is quite physically strong: with effort, he is capable of overturning large objects, such as trucks and large slabs of rock/broken concrete.

Like most other characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Shadow is able to run at super speeds. With his Hover Shoes, Shadow can hover-skate at supersonic speeds, even nearing that of hypersonic speeds, and is fast enough to nearly equal the speeds that Sonic can run at, making him one of the fastest characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. While most games places Sonic and Shadow as equals in speed, character profiles in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Sonic Rivals claim that Sonic is faster. Also, in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Shadow personally admitted that he was not faster than Sonic, which could put Sonic at the same speed or at a faster speed than Shadow. While it is unknown how fast Shadow actually is without using his Hover Shoes, it has been hinted that Shadow can still move at speeds rivaling that of Sonic's, but he simply prefers not to. His hover shoes also grant him flight to some extent for a short period of time.

Due to Shadow's natural high speeds, Shadow is highly acrobatic, agile, and an experienced athlete, capable of gracefully leaping over many obstacles that comes in his way and performing various forms of nimble movements. He has as well radical reaction time to match his movements, being able to react to danger in a split second.

Shadow possesses incredibly high physical durability and is capable of surviving things that would normally be fatal to others, even by the standards in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, making him nearly indestructible. As seen in Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is completely bulletproof while becoming Dark Shadow, being able to brush off all the gun shots from G.U.N. Soldiers as if they were not even there. He can take a lot of major punishment in battle before he starts to wear down. The most prominent testament to Shadow's durability, however, was during the events following Sonic Adventure 2, where Shadow fell down to Earth and through re-entry in the atmosphere, going at speeds reaching six million feet per second, and still survived long enough for one of Dr. Eggman's robots to rescue him. However, he did still receive some injury, as evidenced by the amnesia he got from his fall towards the Earth. Even after receiving major damage, Shadow displays a remarkably fast recovery rate from damage, allowing him to quickly re-enter a battle after just a few moments. Because of his possession of Black Doom's blood, Shadow is also immune to the paralysis gas that was being leaked upon the Black Comet's descent onto Earth.

As shown in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Shadow is able to release tremendous amounts of energy if he takes off the rings that are on his wrists. This gives Shadow a drastic increase in overall power as seen at the ending of his story in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), where he is able to plow through what appears to be hundreds of perfect copies of Mephiles the Dark, who can be regarded as one of the more powerful foes the series. While most media state that Shadow's increase in power through this method comes at the expense of reducing his stamina, causing him to become exhausted after its use, Shadow has shown no sign of fatigue in the video game series when restoring to this method.
Additionally, being the end-product of Project Shadow, which was meant to create an immortal life-form, Shadow does not physically age. Also, given that Project Shadow was partially to develop cures for various kinds of illnesses, Shadow may be completely immune to disease.

Chaos Powers:
Shadow is naturally able to tap into the incredible powers of the Chaos Emeralds and utilize their Chaos Energy to empower himself, and use a wide variety of Chaos Powers, such as Chaos Control, Chaos Spear, and Chaos Blast. Shadow can specifically harness both positive and negative Chaos Energy, depending on his state of mind.
Shadow's trademark move and most frequently used Chaos Power is Chaos Control, allowing him to bend space and time around him at will, such as slowing down time or teleporting various distances. Shadow is perhaps the most adept user of Chaos Control in the series, since he makes the most extensive use of it and can be considered a master of this technique; he can shape Chaos Control into a variety of offensive and defensive attacks, and can even use it delicately enough to distort space in small centralized areas, such as around his fists, or use it to heal himself. Although nearly all cutscenes and biographies in manuals and websites often claim Shadow needs a Chaos Emerald to perform the technique, Shadow has appeared to use Chaos Control without a known Chaos Emerald in his possession. It is currently unknown as to what extent Shadow can specifically use Chaos Control, as he has never been seen using it on another object without warping himself along with it, but it has been shown that he can warp objects and people with him, such as transporting the Black Comet off of Earth. Aside from its final usage in Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow has used Chaos Control with three Emeralds at most, using Chaos Control to save Rouge from Prison Island.

As described in Shadow the Hedgehog, all of Shadow's Chaos powers increase in power with the number of Chaos Emeralds he possesses.

Weaponry and Vehicle skills:
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow has shown that he can also skillfully use a wide range of firearms, semi-automatics, heavy assault, and close-combat weapons. He can also improvise with debris, and drive a wide range of vehicles, as shown in Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders, and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

Combat Skills
In combat, Shadow is dangerous and fierce force that few can defeat directly. Extremely powerful, Shadow has never been seen holding back on his immense strength making him a powerful, brutal and deadly fighter with a distinct killer instinct. Shadow's skills are more than a match for even the strongest characters in the series, and has been able to take down some of the most fearsome foes seen in the Sonic the Hedgehog series on his own, such as Black Doom. To best put his skills in perspective, as seen in some of the scenarios in Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is the only person so far who has been able to utterly defeat Sonic in combat in the Sonic games.

Fighting Style
Shadow's fighting style focuses on direct, brutal, unrestrained and powerful hand-to-hand combat, with heavy reliance on his Chaos Powers. In line with his nature and potent abilities, Shadow has adopted a fighting style where he fights his opponents using powerful blows, such as karate chops and roundhouse kicks, to which of his attacks have a significant amount of force behind them. With the speeds Shadow can move at, he can disable the opponent through the force of his blows alone, while leaving them at the mercy at his incoming attacks.
Shadow's fighting style revolves around making heavy use of his Chaos Powers, especially Chaos Control. Using Chaos Control, Shadow can teleport up in front or behind his opponents in battle to launch surprise attacks. Also, Shadow can use Chaos Control to increase the damage he deals to his opponent when striking them, often resulting in significant forces being released and blowing the opponent a certain distance away. To give himself the advantage over his opponents, Shadow will use powerful Chaos attacks involving Chaos Energy, such as energy bolts or even intense explosions.

Techniques and Moves
Like Sonic, Shadow's basic combat moves revolves around the various forms of the Spin Attack, which is a variation on the tendency for hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection. The Homing Attack allows Shadow to jump and home in on an enemy to get over large gaps he cannot normally reach, the Spin Jump lets him curl into a ball attack opponent by landing on them, and the Spin Dash lets him shoot himself forward as an acceleration roll at high speeds to break barriers or mow down enemies. For more direct combat, Shadow can use his Chaos Attack to deal a barrage of Chaos Energy-fueled strikes to his opponents, and his Spin Kick lets him create a small tornado that can suck enemies in and damage them.
Many of Shadow's signature techniques are Chaos Powers. Shadow's trademark move is Chaos Control, which allows him to manipulate time and space to either warp across space or slow down time. His second most used Chaos Power is his Chaos Spear technique, where he throws bolts of Chaos Energy at his opponent. His most powerful and potent technique, however, is the Chaos Blast, which is literally a shockwave of Chaos Energy that eliminates anything and everything in a circular radius range. Shadow can, however, only use this attack when he is immersed in Chaos Energy.

Another special Chaos Power Shadow uses is his Chaos Boost technique. When using the Chaos Boost, Shadow covers himself in Chaos Energy. While in Chaos Boost form, Shadow gains more destructive power and is immune to some enemy attacks. It also enables Shadow to utilize more Chaos Powers, such as Chaos Blast, Chaos Snap, and Chaos Lance. In Sonic Generations, Shadow can also use the Chaos Boost to give himself a boost of speed, which is similar in function to the Sonic Boost. Rather than skating like usual, Shadow uses the fire from his Air Shoes to propel himself forward.

Transformations:
Like Sonic and Silver, by harnessing the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Shadow is able to use super transformation to enter a Super State that transform him into Super Shadow. In this form, he is bestowed with the new abilities of flight and near invulnerability. Also, like other super transformations, his normal abilities regarding speed, strength, and power are greatly enhanced as well, and his skills with Chaos Powers are increased to their full limit. During his first use of this transformation, Shadow found it difficult to stay in this state, due to his inexperience with it, but has since mastered it.

Hero Shadow:
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is able to transform into Hero Shadow with the use of positive Chaos Energy, whenever his mind is fueled by thoughts of justice. In this state, Shadow is temporarily invincible and can perform a large scale use of Chaos Control. This form, however, only last for a few moments.


Dark Shadow:
In Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow is able to transform into Dark Shadow with the use of negative Chaos Energy, whenever his mind is fueled by thoughts of evil. In this state, Shadow is temporarily invincible and can perform Chaos Blast. This form, however, only last for a few mome

[S121]

@SUSTIC

Among all the OP abilities and things said, my only gripe is the six million feet per second bit. XD

That would be Mach 5,374.18. Falling to Earth would only yield around Mach 88 for someone of Shadow's size.

The only way that would be possible is if he was fired out of a super-powered coilgun.

What the hell did he do to achieve a speed like that? XD



That being said, it would be an interesting fight. John has light and dark, two very versatile abilities, Spartan-II combat training, a half-ton suit, and enhanced physical abilities. In the end, it might come down to who has more endurance.

[SUSTIC]

Well he is technically "immortal." After all he is the Ultimate Life-form ya know.
They most likely exaggerated that bit of info, though you have to admit. Falling from orbit and into the Earth and surviving without any armor and such is damn impressive.

Shadow is like a freaking Spartan in hedgehog form... except without the whole armor thing and such.

His Chaos abilities could be considered Shadow's parallel to John's light and dark magic. Versatile and highly useful, though only truly dangerous depending on Shadow's given situation. If he if fueled by thoughts of evil then he would be highly dangerous, and if he is fueled by thoughts of good then he would be just as dangerous (though will be less likely to actually want to kill someone.) If he takes off the rings on his wrists then John would be in some trouble. If Shadow had a Chaos Emerald or two then John would be in even more trouble.

Even without those factors Shadow would be able to hold his own against John. Probably much longer than other characters would be able to.

The scary thought is... what if John got a Chaos Emerald (and judging by the fact that John is quite a fast learner) and he learns how to use some of the Chaos Emerald's power to use against Shadow?

Oh god another thought is what if John got all seven Chaos Emeralds and learned how to go Super? If he is already OP now, then wait and see John in a super state!

[S121]

Goodmorning everyone.




@SUSTIC

Sorry for falling asleep in mid-conversation. It was 4 in the morning over here.

What would you get if you gave John the chaos emeralds?

Super Saiyan John.


I don't doubt that Shadow would slap John around (flying through the street, into a building), but I'm pretty sure by the end, they'll both be too damn tired to continue.

It is true, John is a fast learner. Spartans are said to be trained that way.

I've played some of the Sonic games and came to the conclusion that Shadow is intelligent as well. I'm pretty sure he would be eyeing John's guns. (armor piercing, high-explosive rounds).
