shadow has never been lame. he's a good friend who is trying to do the right thing but he has a hard time communicating with others because of his own personal issues. and he has cool rocket skates

Shadow completed his evolution into Vegeta by still being an rear end in a top hat, but being a funny rear end in a top hat.

Apparently in very early drafts of 06’s script Silver was actually originally supposed to be a mink (he also had a different name though I forget what it was) but then he got changed to just another hedgehog for some reason.

I dont know why i remember thos but i think his name was Venice

That was it, yes.

As for Shadow, to be fair most of the major problems with his character went away after his solo game. Now he’s basically just furry Vegeta.

Shadow is the only character to come out of 06 looking good, because he was the most competent person in the plot. It's great.

"Shadow is basically just Vegeta" explains why I like him so much, since Vegeta is the best character in DBZ

He was a decent villain in SA2, and then eventually he edged so hard he went over the edge and wrapped back around to ironic edge with everyone but him in on the joke.
It also makes his non-edgy moments super endearing.

Also, and you can honestly probably put this in for any character you don't know why people like:
He's loving great in the comics.

Hope it helps and you feel better. It’s getting decent-good reviews and the music is good so it should do the trick.

It's pretty good, but the team racing part is eh unless you have someone to play it with. The bots are only really average so you cant do much to help them in first place and it goes against everything in me to even consider losing first in a game about racing.

Music is exceptionally good, like really really really loving good. Also characters have unique responses to being hit by certain other characters, My personal favourite is omegas geniune "shadow, WHY?".

Online is bad though, aside from having gimmick matches be tied to map selection, meaning you only actually get one choice for normal races, it takes forever for the game to tally up after the race so you end up waiting nearly 3 minutes for the race to finish after its over. Luckily, these seem like easily patchable problems so these are more like early launch problems rather than "crippling design mistake" like how online is built in smash ultimate.

Don't worry about my complaints that much though, Its a very fun very solid game overall and I had a lot of fun when i was doing grand prix or playin with my brother.

I used to not care for it, because Rouge was outright willing to doom a whole other world, but then I recalled she was more outright villainous in pre-boot Archie

Still, that was one thing I wasn't sad to see go

The series just got another reboot as it switched companies from Archie to IDW, and there's only a few issues out so far so you can pick up from there without worrying about baggage.

For the Archie series? Pick it up from the Worlds Collide Sonic/MegaMan crossover and go from there, that's when they dumped all the Penders stuff.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

There is so much more to the Archie comics than Ken Penders and riffing on him. At least try to check out Ian's pre-boot run.

Huh. I must have forgotten that bit because of Blaze guilt tripping Shadow, Omega's interactions with everyone, Amy actually getting to do something, and Nack, Bark, and Bean showing up.

Team Sonic Racing is pretty fun, the team mechanics feel surprisingly natural and add a lot to the races. It’s definitely not as impressive as Transformed but I like that it offers something different.

Omega is such a great character in the comics. He's a simple boy on a mission to destroy and loves it. Not a very complex character, but provides good banter and humor.

The IDW comics are readable on phone/tablet via comixology for $3.99 an issue. Unlike the Archie comics they don't feature any SatAM characters and only use established game canon, picking up shortly after the ending of Sonic Forces.
