Need I remind you that Shadow can transform into Super Shadow with the Chaos Emeralds? That’s supposed to be the true Final Smash for Shadow. Also, not all of Shadow’s powers are unique, his Chaos Control alone is clearly not enough for him to be an original fighter. Shadow is a hedgehog, just like Sonic, plus he also has a hiking attack and spin dash, and he can run just as fast as Sonic with his hover shoes. Just face it, Shadow should be fine as Sonic’s Echo Fighter, three unique Sega fighters are too many.
