Super Smash Bros. Skirmish/Shadow

Shadow is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Skirmish, being Sonic's echo fighter, he shares most of the same special moves, but with his own unique take on them.

Basic Moves

 * Neutral Attack: Shadow performs a simple punch and kick combo, identical to Sonic's version.
 * Side Tilt: Shadow performs a Horse Kick, identical to Sonic's version.
 * Up Tilt: Shadow performs an upwards kick, identical to Sonic's version, but it references Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) instead of Sonic Battle.
 * Down Tilt: Shadow performs a sweeping kick, based on the sweep kick attack that he uses in Sonic 06.
 * Dash Attack: Shadow slides forward, identical to Sonic's version.

 * Up Air: Shadow begins spinning in mid-air similarly to the spring animation from Sonic CD, identical to Sonic's version.
 * Down Air: Shadow uses the Stomp attack from the boost games, this move is unique to Shadow because Shadow couldn't use the Bounce Bracelet in Sonic Adventure 2.

Special Moves
Neutral B: Homing Attack

Shadow curls into a ball and a reticle then appears over the nearest opponent, Shadow then homes in on them, identical to Sonic's version, although it deals slightly more damage and the charge-up is a little slower.

Side B: Boost

Shadow hovers over the ground and then boosts forward, with a gauge appearing over his head denoting how much boost energy he has left, once it's depleted, you can't use this move again until the gauge slowly refills again or you lose a stock.

Up B: Chaos Control

Shadow uses Chaos Control to warp upwards instantly, it's a pretty straightforward teleport recovery that's completely unique to Shadow.

Down B: Spin Dash

Shadow curls into a ball and begins charging up a Spin Dash, dashing forward when you let go of the button, this move is stronger but slightly slower than Sonic's version.

Final Smash: Super Shadow

Shadow dashes forward, and any opponent he hits will be dragged into a cinematic Final Smash where Shadow uses the 7 Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Shadow, he then fires several Chaos Spears at the opponent, before ending the Final Smash by taking off his inhibitor rings and unleashing an EXTREMELY powerful Chaos Blast, sending foes flying after the Final Smash ends, and instantly K.Oing them if their percentage is at 100% or higher, while the cinematic is different, it is functionally identical to Sonic's final smash.
