Shadow the Hedgehog/Dylanius9000's version

''While this version uses the sprites from MUGENHunter's second version, its gameplay is completely different, having Veanko's gameplay style. Ironically, it actually relies on projectiles rather than lacking them. It also seems to have learnt some moves from Dio Brando. OW THE EDGE...''

Gameplay


This version of Shadow has the gameplay style and button layout of Veanko's Sonic characters, with, and  being used for its Normals, Specials and Hypers,  for a charge attack,  for a Dodge and  for a grab. Like with all of Veanko's Sonic characters, the charge attack knocks the opponent down and you gain Super Armor for one hit while charging. When fully charged, the attack becomes unblockable.

It also has many featurs of Veanko's other Sonic characters. It has EX Moves and most of its Hypers have three different levels, which each level dealing more damage while using more Power. Its playstyle focuses on projectiles. It has many ranged attacks, which can be used to keep the opponent away from Shadow. It has decent comboability, but it is a bit of a glass cannon because it has less Life than most other characters.

Its charge attack can be very useful against characters with slow attacks since you can take the hit and then strike back. Its EX Chaos Arrow stuns the opponent, making it vulnerable to combos or Hypers. Its Hypers are pretty straightforward and there usually isn't much difference between the Hypers' levels apart from an increase in damage. While Chaos Control is unblockable, fullscreen (the opponent is automatically teleported in front of Shadow when activated) and deals huge damage, even more than its level 3 Hypers, it has a very long startup time and has to be used carefully to avoid wasting 3000 Power.

This character has no custom A.I. and uses the engine's default. It is unique compared to other characters with the default A.I. in that it almost never attacks, and jumps around and blocks more frequently.
