Shadow + Rubber Mallet = Memory Loss

[fakersinc]

I think Sega needs to give the guy a break. It seems like every time Sega feels like having a brand new start they drag Shadow into it and make up some excuse why he lost his memory. Shadow the Hedgehog proved that he is once and for all had closure in his life about his existance and plans to live for Maria's wishes, even if people like Sonic annoy the hell out of him.

Think about it (and bowen's thread here gave me this idea... quackerandbowen.proboards75.com/index.cgi?board=shadowdiscussion&action=display&thread=1185303418 )... starting with Sonic Aventure 2 when he appeared, and ending with Sonic Battle, he had 3 bouts with memory loss.

Thats 3 out of 4 games. Granted, he didnt completely lose his memory in Shadow the Hedgehog, but he still could only remember bits and pieces. And depending on which of a million endings you get before the true ending, they still werent quite right anyway.

So I say this once in hope by one in a billion chance someone of importance at Sega reads this.... STOP messing with the dude's memory! It creates problems and makes him more annoying for people who need any excuse they can to hate him.

I personally loved Shadow's demeanor in Sonic the Hedgehog 06. He wasnt whining about his past and he wasnt playing by anyone's rules. Like Rouge said... hes ALWAYS business.

I'm just waiting for the new Emerl to make an apperance in a new game first. I WANT SONIC BATTLE TO MAKE MORE SENSE!!!

I'm pretty sure that they are dying down on Shadow's past. That's what the Shadow game was for anyways. And I have absolutely no clue on why Sonic Team made that game with the "different ending" junk. I thought we were supposed to find out about Shadow's life, not corrupt it even more! >_>

All those endings were a waste of time, too. I wanted to be super evil, and I was for like 5 minutes until they said, "OH WAIT. LOL REAL ENDING "

.... >> like I said, it was a waste of effort.

Darn Sonic Team, always messing with Shadow's head. Sooner or later, they're gonna drive him as insane as Gerald Robotnik!

[Weirdo94]

Well I see nothing wrong with that. Shadow could join me in the land of puffy white clouds in which I bang my head against!

They'll even give him a golfing jacket, just like they gave me!

^.^

Hasn't he already been as batty as Gerald a few times already? I mean, he had the whole planet bent over, and ready to take a good boning (as put in the Eulogy) in the first game. Even if he wound up stopping it in the end, still, I'd say thats batty.

....

I'm sure some bad joke could go in there about Shadow and Rouge, but I can't think of it at the moment.

[NiGHTS at Night]

The only one who is batty is Rouge when there's something shiny in front of her.

Shadow is just so cool that he has the power to be the Ultimate Badass Villain, then be the Ultimate Badass Hero, and return in a new game without any memory so he can't be blamed for killing all of those people.

Exactly!
