Bunch of stuff that doesn't make sense of shadow.

[TDF]

1) How could of shadow remember maria being shot (In shadow the hedgehog) If when she was shot, wasn't Shadow already in space?
2) How does he get his memory back in Sonic battle?
3) How could he be based of sonic if he was built around 40-50 years before sonic was born?
4) Why is is age "Unknown" (In the instruction booklet) if he was created 50 years ago, shouldn't he be 50?
5)Why doesn't Shadow resemble the Biolizard at all if it was his "Prototype"?
6)Why doesn't shadow have a mini life pack to let him absorb attacks to make UBER-SUPER?
7) Why couldn't he have gravity controlling moves like the Biolizard?
9) Uhhh... can't think of anymore...

1. That's a good question. One of his flashbacks show Shadow and Maria running, cornered and Maria shot. (The one at the very start.) Then we see other flashbacks, like Maria getting shot while Shadow's in his pod.

My guess: when they got cornered, it was in the center room where Maria made Shadow escape. When the GUN soldiers shot her, they left, thinking that one shot was all it took. Maria, having a bit of life left in her, shot Shadow down to earth and then died.

2. I never played that game, so I have no clue.

3. Maybe he was based on Sonic's ancestor?

4. Probably because his aging stopped while he was in his carbonate. So we don't know Shadow's exact age.

5. Because the lizard was a prototype. I guess the professor thought a hedgehog would have more...what's the word? Starts with a V.

6. The professor created the lizard, but it was dying. So he made the life pack thing to keep it alive. Shadow was already alive and decent, so what was the point of a life support system?

7. I dunno.

Hey, you skipped from seven to nine!

1) How could of shadow remember Maria being shot (In shadow the hedgehog) If when she was shot, wasn't Shadow already in space?

Good call. We've seen the event reenacted in various media, and it does differ each time. Hell, in Sonic X, he wasn't even awake when he was launched from the Ark. The truth of the matter is that Gerald HAD messed with Shadow's memory during his time at Prison Island, and that more then likely, his memories of the event were byproducts of that. We know Maria was shot, and we know it was in the process of rescuing Shadow. The exact might be lost forever.

2) How does he get his memory back in Sonic battle?

Two possibilities. One is that, During the events of sonic Heros, Rouge told him his past. That way, we would still have trouble remembering it, but still be aware of the events when they arise. Remember, in Shadow the Hedgehog, he has an image of Maria being shot, but not necessarily the right one. It's wholly possible that Rouge told him Maria was shot, and he "imagined it" like that. Thus, all of his references to Maria and gerald were based on second hand fact, and not true knowledge.

OR

Sonic Battle takes place after Sonic Heros, where he has regained his memory. There is nothing to contradict that, other then the end of Shadow the Hedgehog, where he says his past will no longer bother him. That's not really a problem either, because the there's a big difference between being OK with the past, and actually being ruled by it.

3) How could he be based of sonic if he was built around 40-50 years before sonic was born?

He's based of of the ancient Echidnae legends of Super Sonic, as seen on the mosaic in Hidden Palace zone of Sonic and Knuckles (and Sonic Adventure if I'm not mistaken) -- Just as The Biolizard and the artificial Chaos are based off of Chaos, and the Arc is probably a reference to the Death Egg.

4) Why is is age "Unknown" (In the instruction booklet) if he was created 50 years ago, shouldn't he be 50?

We don't know how long he was alive before being frozen. Also, they leave it possible he could be a clone of the actual project Shadow.

5)Why doesn't Shadow resemble the Biolizard at all if it was his "Prototype"?

He has some of the same capabilities, but with a different outer shell (Hedgehog vs Lizard).

6)Why doesn't shadow have a mini life pack to let him absorb attacks to make UBER-SUPER?

I don't get what you are asking? You mean like the Biolizard? I've always assumed the the Bilizard's "Life pack" is on the "inside" of Shadow.

7) Why couldn't he have gravity controlling moves like the Biolizard?

Since when could the Biolizard do that? You mean when he was crashing the arc? Disturbingly, that wasn't him controlling gravity. If you watch, the Biolizard just Chaos Controlled so that the Eclipse Cannon was lodged up his arse, and was dragging it toward the earth.

9) Uhhh... can't think of anymore...

When you do, feel free to bring'em up! And welcome to the forums.

I think by "gravity controlling moves" he meant when the Biolizard lifts Shadow into the air, so he's fumbling around with those egg things.

[Quacker Duk]

Well, they are in space, and the biolizard seems to be connect with the Arc. He could be turning off the Artificial Gravity.

[Master Silver]

Artificial Gravity? Okay, now you're just making stuff up >.>

[Quacker Duk]

Then explain to me how sonic can run in a Space Station without flying everywhere do to the lack of gravity*! Clearly, there is advanced life support on the Arc.

(Or for that matter, what's keeping Rouge's Top from flying off, but that's a different subject...)

*rolls on floor laughing*

I just remembered the word I was looking for. I think it was vitality.

[TDF]

Celebaby, I beleive they have changed the word "Rolls on floor laughing" To "ROFL"ing
And to answer so many comlpaints, what I mean by not giving Shadow the mini life pack, is to make him ABSORB ATTACKS!?

[celebaby20]

I know about rofl, but I wanted to make my post seem longer and more smart.

'Cuz then it would be cheating. And Shadow doesn't need a nerdy life pack anyway.

That's what I pictured in my head when I first battled the prototype. The prototype is a nerd that needs a life support pack to keep going, and Shadow's the cool one, who beats up the nerd, because the nerd was in his way and being stinky.

I guess... But it still would've been awesome if he could absorb attacks.

1. Plothole
2. I count Sonic Battle as non-canon than anything.
3. He's not, where'd you get that.
4. He was frozen, that and he's immortal.
5. Wasn't the Biolizard sent out to space first?
6. What
7. He sorta kinda does.
