I've always wanted to oneday have the balls to remake shadow the hedgehog and prove that it's possible to make something remotely descent out of that hot garbage... although I'd include like, a gallery of images, one for each numbered "ending" that I have to legit give props to the developers and localization for making up 1000 names for paths. I like to give credit where it's due.
Isaac Lewis
What an egghead.
Elijah Murphy
"the real super power of teamwork!" >so i'll take like, 80% of the chaos emerald power and you two fags can share whats left. Sound fair? Great, lets get to it!
Liam Kelly
Not only did this mural prophesize the fight between Super Sonic and Eggman in outer space, it also resulted in the creation of Biolizard and Shadow. Deepest piece of lore in the series right here.

>1000 names 326, but yeah, it was a nice touch. Also need to fix the engine (boo renderware) and put Shadows running animation and controls back to SA2 style so he's not gliding around on a thin layer of custard.
Aaron Gomez
Love how sonic was seen as some sorta fairy-type creature.

Gerald made the Biolizard in the image of the deity holding the master emerald, and the spiky god is self explanatory, although I have to wonder how Gerald created something that resembles Sonic so closely even though he wouldn't have been born for a few decades yet.
Chase Smith
I thought the biolizard was based off of the chaos mural instead, hence why they also have artificial chaos everywhere. But I HAVE always liked that about shadow even if that isn't exactly confirmed.
Shadow has super sonic's hair, Gerald definitely went to angel island at one point and had a LOT of inspiration from chaos and the master emerald, hence the temple replica on his space station.
He needed to find something to pick for the shape/body of the ultimate life form, and he went with lizard first, hedgehog second.
Noah Diaz
A fan theory.
Gerald at some point was on Angel Island. The Ark has an emerald alter designed just like the one Knuckles guards. So theres a headcanon that the Biolizard is based on the mural of Perfect Chaos, and Gerald saw himself, a chaos emerald, and Shadow in the Hidden Palace mural.
Brandon Walker
Nothing is canon.
Mason Cox
Oh I hadn't thought about the Chaos mural. It's a possibility I suppose.
Charles Jenkins

Thomas Richardson

Tyler Flores
Neat.
>"they designed the core like the shrine to harness the power of the chaos etc." Always wondered about that, but I saw it as a quick excuse to have the emeralds in the core, when they should've been locked into the control room area.
Isaiah Taylor
It's also probably why the biolizard lives there.
Christian Walker
I fucking love this Nicole so much. I want to hug and protect that little bundle of joy.
Jeremiah Sanders
That's what's so great about the Sonic series. Since there's no ongoing narrative, everyone is able to have their own headcanons and theories to piece things together in any way they want. Personally I love being able to have my own headcanon.

Angel Sanchez
Right, like how the reason his eyes changed color for me is that he just ended up using super sonic so often that they just stuck like that. I figured hyper sonic just accelerated the process. Honestly he's used the things so damn much, I wouldn't be surprised if he's left pieces of his SOUL or something inside them.
Matthew Campbell
Reminder: need more Bump lewds.
Michael Rogers
I miss the little narrative they had going with the Echidnas and the emeralds from 3K up to Adventure 2. Some days I'm fine with the direction Modern Sonic games are taking (episodic, self contained plots that don't contradict each other often) but then I think of Echidnas and I get sad.
Zachary James
You sound desperate.
Bentley James
He and his obsession with #63 Sonic is disturbing and borderline Aval0nX.
Aaron Sanchez
Ruel63 is best fetish, next to trap/futa/shemale fetish
Julian Smith
The Prototype is still alive. He's controlling the space colony as it is falling to Earth. He's become one with the space colony, and is determined to keep it on its collision course!
Cooper Robinson
Take that faker!
Asher Turner
The C&B artbook has an interview with Uekawa saying one reason his eyes are green is to reflect the fact that he spends a lot of time on grassy green hills.

Jayden Smith
One of the things that I think makes Sonic so attractive to OC makers is that there is some canon and continuity, but since its as loose as can be you can do whatever you want. That and there is a precedent for everything, and a contonuity for everyone. You cpuld have a time traveling alien and it'd be 100% normal in Sonic

Instead of calling Shadow a fake hedgehog, it would have made more sense for Sonic to call him an imposter, or a Sonic wannabe.
Sonic does know he's not the only hedgehog on the planet, doesn't he?
Carter Cruz

But the series having little to no canon makes it really easy for them to DESTROY your headcanon. Unless you are willing to cover your eyes and ears to anything that hurts ur feelings.

Ryder Harris
I think he's calling him out on being fake because he looks and behaves so similarly to Sonic but at the same time he sees something is amiss about Shadow. That and he's mad at Shadow for getting him in trouble with GUN.
Classic Era = Gen 4 Adventure Era = Gen 6 Modern Era = Gen 7
Juan Gray
Is there proof?
Noah Diaz
Thanks for letting me live my fantasy for a few minutes pardner.
Tyler Lewis
>call him an imposter But he did. He said faker, which is basically what you mean.
>Sonic does know he's not the only hedgehog on the planet, doesn't he? The thing is that in SA2 people were confusing Shadow for Sonic, so it could make sense for Sonic to say Shadow was faking being him.
Luke Long
the channel guy says he'll do a tutorial for the mod in a short time.
Juan Morales
Then why not call Shadow a fake Sonic instead of a fake hedgehog?
Cameron Diaz
Cool beans. I'll have a look when it appears.
Julian Nelson
Sonic didn't call Shadow fake hedgehog, it was the other way around.
Chase Torres
"Now I know what's going on! The military has mistaken me for the likes of you! So, where do you think you're going with that emerald? Say something, you fake hedgehog!"

Anthony Campbell
>There are people who like both Huh. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given their similar nature, but I've never seen futa or anything with a dick discussed much in rule 63 threads or discussions. I always assumed there was a hard line between the two and most people only liked one or the other.
James Lopez
why is there no deer yet in this thread
Adrian Sullivan
No, its just nobody makes good shit besides argento when it comes to it.
Lincoln Rogers
In the Japanese version, Sonic just calls him an imposter.

Ethan Nguyen
Since Shadow was created in a test tube and is not a naturally born hedgehog, calling Shadow a faker is in fact a targeted and heinous insult, and the only way Sonic gets away with it is because it counters Shadow's arrogance about being the ultimate lifeform.
Grayson Reed

The way their heads are angled together plus the way their bodies are caught in the middle of stepping forward makes it look like they are forming a heart.

Sonic doesn't know this at that point on the story.
