Sonic Generations - Shadow the Hedgehog Boss (Hard Mode)

[TheNeoFelicity]

Sonic uses quick step. Shadow uses boost to lose

[RosiePosie011801]

It took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to figure out how to beat him. And once I got all the spheres I tried to hit all the rocks but I always miss at leas one of them since I suck at aiming and quick stepping.

0:18 epic midair pose is EPIC

[550gg]

is sonic trying to kill his friends? D:

[GhoullyXX]

So you kill him with hedgehog rape?

[MaddZekrom999]

I would've preferred Shadow's boost animation to have him not flying but giant fumes coming out of his boosters

[ShayminX492]

this was my favorite boss from sa2

[KingSpartaX37]

Stars don't twinkle, Moon doesn't shine!!

[vfvfvfgh23]

@KingSpartaX37 in sonic's world they do xD?

[BrothaJdogg]

I remember beating this on hard and in the fight, Shadow got the power-up attack twice before I finally bagged him, and I still got an S rank. I dunno if him getting the power cores affects your rank or not. But I do agree, I freakin love this fight. Personally it's my favorite boss fight of the game.

[GrayFoxTheEnigma]

so is sonic generations just a whole game full of recycled old stages and boss fights?

[ACESpark]

@GrayFoxTheEnigma I'd say remixed old stages and boss fights. Since the stages and bosses themselves don't resemble the originals in layout or tactics in any way shape or form. As this fight shows - it's nothing like the Sonic Adventure 2 fight.

[GrayFoxTheEnigma]

@ACESpark ah okay thanks!

[gagaman]

Lol I had a lot of trouble with this boss the first time around, mainly just figuring out how to finish him off. Was aware you could quick-step in the powered up mode either.

[Hellhunter120]

Change the music of this fight to Live and Learn. It's so perfect.

[iOniV2]

@Hellhunter120 Did you even watch the video all the way through?

[Hellhunter120]

@iOniV2 Yes I did, but I mean change it to Live and Learn when you start the fight. It fits really well.

[demonjay92]

this stage is a good place to farm for lives if need be

[JDaMac815]

Press lb and rb for a finish combo.

[JosephCollins]

Why do I like this so much more than I like the classic-style stuff? Seriously. I got more excited watching this than I did the other two battles you've posted so far. XD

[AeonCommander]

I'm getting this on Steam and hpoing my PC can keep up with the speed. It's cheaper on the PC.

[XSON1CX]

You're so awesome ACE ^^

[phanface]

I could never do well in a game like this...Battletoads taught me that. Pity, the soundtrack sounds pretty damn cool.

[PPAChao]

How… unspectacular. The battle in SA2 was much more frantic than this.

[Gigaspine7]

@PPAChao You're kidding, right?

[ACESpark]

@PPAChao This boss fight is probably more fun to play than to watch.

It is good. I think it's about on par with the original Shadow fight.

[PPAChao]

@ACESpark I guess. In the video it really just looks like the “fight” consists of nothing but running forward while boosing and occasionally bumping into Shadow a bit, but I suspect there are mechanics at works that make it feel much more tense actually playing it.

[MrShadow974]

@ACESpark Is that a Steam's achievement screen in 2:46

[ACESpark]

@MrShadow974 Yes. I've not been long playing the game so the achievements are still unlocking.

[MrShadow974]

@ACESpark Cool that means i don't need to buy PS3 or 360 to have this game(if i have enough good computer)

[MrShadow974]

@ACESpark what is your steam account

[wildtk123]

I like shadow why do he have to be the bad guy.

[ACESpark]

@wildtk123 There isn't really an in game justification for you to combat him. He simply challenges you for one of the Chaos Emeralds.

[whiteskimo64]

@wildtk123 um in his game its either good or evil i guess so he's both

[ChaosZero102]

I got goosebumps when Live and Learn started playing, also I loved it when the cutscene that plays before the fight starts, almost perfectly recreates the opening cutscene from SA2, especially the end of the cutscene where they meet in front of the moon with both of them facing the opposite direction.

[NKSPKI]

I though this would make for a cool multiplayer mode.

[ChaosZero102]

@NKSPKI The 3DS version has been confirmed to have multiplayer, as well as alternate levels that were not in the console release, (the exception being Green Hill Zone obviously)

[UltimaShadow7]

@ChaosZero102 I really hope they have more focus on the handheld releases. No Sonic Rush level makes me sad.
