Trophies

Shadow

Created by Professor Gerald Robotnik to be the "Ultimate Life Form", this black hedgehog's speed is fast enough to even rival that of Sonic's. He hates all of humanity for the death of Gerald's granddaughter and longtime friend to him, Maria Robotnik.

Shadow (Alt.)

Shadow's down special, Chaos Slow, requires a chargeup, but once that's done, opponents caught in a blast will be slowed down. Use the slowdown to your advantage!
