Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow the Hedgehog is the arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog. Shadow made his first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2. He was created as the "Ultimate Lifeform" by Professor Gerald Robotnik using the DNA and blood of Black Doom. Shadow is immortal, and does not age. Since his debut, Shadow has appeared in a multitude of games, television shows, and comic books. His past was almost a complete mystery until the game Shadow the Hedgehog revealed the events surrounding his creation. In contrast to Sonic, Shadow is typically portrayed as an anti-hero, or a renegade who can just as easily serve the forces of evil as those of good. Sometimes he will team up with Sonic.

In M.U.G.E.N, Shadow has been made by several creators, but two that stand out are MUGENHunter's and ABAB's.

Shadow is also a striker of Claymizer's Sonic the Hedgehog (New version).

MUGENHunter's version


Shadow is a 4-button character that has a relatively weak and slow A.I. and has custom made sprites. His attacks consist of punches and kicks. Shadow has an evasive maneuver that allows him to dodge attacks. He can deal a hefty amount of damage and he rarely executes his combos on time during battle. The old version uses Kagami's Last Blade 2 voicepack. The new version has his own voice and the idle sprite seen above.

ABAB's version


ABAB's version uses Sonic Battle sprites, as well as custom sprites. His moves generally consist of moves that he used in Sonic Battle, but he has plenty of other tricks as well.

But what's really a pain is when his palette is in his 'hyper' mode, as he has health that comes back instantly, spams hypers and, is F1 proof.
