No I haven't forgotten about the game. I've been working on it.

After the last demo of SB4 there was one very unanimous voice that was cried out to me through PMs, e-mails, IMs, ect.

Everyone has said Shadow should have been in the demo

... ok ...

Well, now after a lot of hard rework on the game engine allow me to introduce

SHADOW IN SONIC BATTLE 4

His engine is completely programmed. And unlike previous Sonic Battle games where Shadow heavily mirrored Sonic, that has changed. He is a bit slower, but more powerful. Plus he brings his own style of attacks to the game. Shadow now has been re designated from a speed type character to a combo type character.


DOUBLE JUMP
What was a move for Shadow in every battle game until Sonic Battle III has returned, the teleporting Chaos Control. This uses a bit of Shadow's chaos meter, but allows him to teleport up a long distance. And for a brief moment gravity is shut off for him, allowing sideways movement to recover.


NO DIRECTION + ATTACK in AIR
This is a new attack for Shadow, Chaos Flash. Its a consintrated Chaos Spear right below Shadow. The more power there is in Shadow's chaos meter, the more powerful the attack. Although Shadow stops moving when he performs this, the unwary enemy will collide right into it, and suffer major damage before being slammed straight down. Use this one over a cliff, just be careful not to fall.
The downside - this moves uses up all the energy Shadow has stored in his chaos meter.


HOLD UP + JUMP on GROUND
As Shadow uses great quantities of chaos energy with his new moves he can charge up his chaos meter faster then speed types like Sonic.

And Shadow isn't the only character using these moves, his brother Ashura uses them as well.

Three things:
1. He seems much more chaos-oriented than most characters, similar to YOU KNOW WHO I WON'T SAY IT IN FEAR OF SPOILERSING YOU GUYS.
2. The hud still looks like crap. You REALLY need to do soemthing about it. Make the font more stylized or something, I mean, you definitely have the resources.
3. MY EYE BURN FROM ALL THAT BRIGHT RED! HOLY CRAP ARE YOU TRYING TO FRY MY BRAIN!?!?!?

It looks good so far. having seen it on your computer screen and now my own I have a few things to say.

The color scheme needs a bit of work. On a darker screen like the one at your house it looks good, but on my screen which you know is brighter, it's a bit painful on the eyes. I'm mostly talking about the red, but the bright green is painful too. As far as shadow goes, I like the idea that he isn't a copy of Sonic. Keep up the good work. Though you knew most of my comments already since I told you in person.
