@@SuperMonaLisaBros No it is just uncle because if shadow were to be in a twisted way a great uncle then he in the same manner would be geralds sibling but that cant be it because gerald created shadow and unless you give me some B.S about the black arms no, just no.
To answer your question about Maria, she lives on the ARK because she basically has no immune system and can't risk living in an unsterilized environment.
wait, that means that the raid on the space station by the government would of introduce many germs to the space station, meaning that she was most likely dead even if she didnt get shot, meaning there no way for the dad to know if it was an accidental death or not, meaning his whole revenge thing is even more crazy
11:05 the relation is that Shadow blames himself for Maria's death and he didn't want to be the one that caused another person's death. That's why he saved Rouge.

I mean....to be fair the people have seen sonic transform in sa1 during the chaos attack. Quills are the same, different color yes. Probably mistaken for another transformation
No it’s people on earth: all you hedgehogs look the same I’m gonna go after the blue one even though it was the black hedgehog on the news but since we’re so dumb we’ll go after the black hedgehog
So many people complain about Rouge saying "Five minutes is plenty" when mentioning the time limit of Security hall You do know Eggman told Shadow to set the BOMB for 15 minutes.....to BLOW UP the island..... If she took the 15 minutes to get the chaos emeralds, then she would have blown up with the island. 5 Minutes to get the emeralds, 10 minutes to meetup with Eggman/get the fuck off the island.
My only gripe with that sentiment is that she says “5 minutes should be plenty,” AFTER Eggman tells Shadow 15 minutes on the bomb. She doesn’t specify 5 minutes for the emeralds, she’s implying she only needs 5 minutes on the bomb’s timer.
@@chrismaystar3014 I'm 95% sure she's talking to herself for that line. She's not talking into her walkie-talkie that she has when she's locked in the vault.
I always thought he said "created..." instead of "could he?". that would be more of a reference to how he thinks about shadows being as a whole and that shadow says that sonic might be the real ultimate life form(as shadow was based on super sonic, but the characters do not know that)
25:12 the first prototype was based on the perfect chaos mural found in the mystic ruins but it failed so the other option was the supersonic mural which is why shadow looks the way he does
+Dr. Cardus And talking about 'Fake X', Shadow saying "an Emerald that's fake" is an example of extremely poor translation/no-one looking over the translation to find oddities. "A fake Emerald" is so much better, in English, because the one used is so...roundabout, unnatural. Did an English team do the writing? Or did any natural English speakers read over the translations provided by Japanese writers? Doesn't seem like it.
+PokeMaster22222 In the final story, in the cutscene that plays after you defeat the Biolizard, once the lizard will use Chaos Control Shadow will say "Is that what...Chaos Control is?" which is ALSO a translation error (I don't remember now what he said in the japanese version though)
There's actually a potential sin I wanna bring up here; rewind to Gerald Robatnik's execution, he announces his entire plan for revenge before a shooting squad and not a singe one decided to think: "Maybe I should tell my superiors to investigate the Ark for ANYTHING he just said" sure he was a raving lunatic by the time they killed him, but given that he actually headed to the Project Shadow you'd think that'd warrent enough credibility to at least double check his threats...
ShadowBlade972 Something I should bring up for this is how did the footage of Gerald's execution get sent to the ARK and who sent it? It couldn't have been Gerald; he was dead. A G.U.N. soldier or the commander? So they just decided, "Who wants to see this footage, let's just send it to ARK so no one can find out what happened. Who cares what Gerald said? He was insane. It's not like anything he said is important. Let's just destroy his existence."? If that's the case, that's one irresponsible, naive and disorganised army.
He did say, "How did he program the ARK to reproduce this 50-year-old HD WMV file of his own execution?", but he assumes that it was Gerald who sent it, when he couldn't have because that very file showed him speaking his final words, thus, he was dead.
@Daniel von Strangle To be completely fair, I agree with some of these theories but as I was reading your points I came up with this: Maybe, the reason all of that was possible was because Shadow set it all up he did say he some how "reprogrammed" The ultimate life form which we assume to either mean Shadow or bio-lizard. Given Shadow was on earth it seemed more likely for it to be him. Also he was a "secret government project" few knew about so in reality it wouldn't be too hard to believe in his time off camera (which is quite a lot actually) he could have set all of this up. Also explains his change of heart near the end maybe it was temporary brain washing or something that caused him to want to go through with such a plan though that seems like a stretch. Anyhow that's my take on the whole execution projection and arc kamikaze thing.
the part with Shadow seeing Maria and Rouge actually makes sense. He was sort of comparing the two, seeing Rouge as a girl in a dear-death situation that made her helpless, just like Maria
17:45 I saw that in the real time dub and was absolutely sure that, for some reason, this was edited into the footage. *Never would I have believed that this is in the original game, what the fuck*
@@noahgaming8833 raptor thinks shadow only using his super form once led to his death, Sonic on the other hand lived while falling from space when first going super aswell
If anyone is wondering about the sin at 26:30, I have a guess about what sonic was mumbling about. If you play the final battle against the Final Hazard, there is a 5 min limit before you fail the battle. But if you play up to the 4 minute mark, Shadow will say something along the lines that he believes the ultimate lifeform is actually Sonic.
I heard that once, but if sonic is the ultimate life form then what exactly is shadow (though it's explained in his game it isn't here, plus how is shadow able to become super? He shouldn't be able to do thay
Absolutely! I love this game to death but it's clear to me that the game has aged too much. I want this sound design cleaned up so people can truly appreciate the story as it was meant to. A graphical update would also be great as well. If only the original voices came back for the game however I think a good sound mixer would be enough
After rewatching this, I only now had realized something, if Tails was smart enough to create the weaker version of the Chaos Emeralds, why hasn't he made more in the event they need it? Now you could argue that they are too weak to go super, but I'll argue that if Tails at least made 1 Sonic could use Chaos Control to solve some issues, this also goes for Shadow in the event they don't/can't find the chaos emeralds, like in Sonic Forces where if they had these fake emeralds, they could have fooled Eggman, which to quote Tails "Even a machine can't tell the difference" and the only reason Eggman knew it was a fake was because Tails slipped up. Plus they have enough energy to counter the actual emeralds. Also they are strong enough to be used multiple times as soon with Sonic, even after Chaos control it clearly isn't shattered or broken. TL;DR, Why doesn't Tails just make more fake emeralds so that they have more access to Chaos based moves? IT is made clear all you need to do is see the damn move as sonic preforms Chaos Control only seeing it once or twice. Plus this could work as an alternate power source of Tails' invention Literally the main characters would only benefit from making fake emeralds more often. What if they need a real emerald to make a copy? Go find the emerald? I mean they've found them plenty of times so just find one
You know... that's pretty smart observation! This would cut sonic games in half! I think the only excuse I can think is hard to mass produce them or in some moment Tails forgot the plants of making one but either way would still get a pretty good advantage but...How Tails created these fake emeralds? I don't know much about Sonic but I know that the emeralds are ancient artifacts of imesurable power soo how he got the technology to do and...why didn't the guverment thought on thet?...WHAT ARE THE RULES GOD DAMNIT
@@Breakaway-ic5gj But isn't this the only time in the games Tails makes a fake one? If he was doing this years, then it would make sense for Eggman to create a emerald detector to find out which one is fake. And okay, fair it probably took him a large chunk of time to create one. But my counter point is- It wouldn't/shouldn't stop him from making a set, it isn't like Eggman is attacking them every moment, even with the timeline being- no so straight forward the games do have down time between them. However I'm not sure it ultimately matters, it would probably be out of character for most of them to use chaos attacks the same way Shadow does, there have been plenty of chances for Sonic to use Chaos Control and such but never chose to do it, in the case against SA 2 Shadow in his boss fight, one could argue Sonic is being pushed to his limit and only then justifies the use of Chaos Control, which would (kinda?) explain why Super sonic is usually never considered (this last one is brought to you by- me, making an excuse for the writers to not mention the chaos or master emerald)
Wait a sec! In the prison scene, Amy says "You mean that black hedgehog?" If you could have clearly seen that he was in fact a black hedgehog, then how in the name of fuck did you confuse him for a bright blue hedgehog in the middle of broad day light?
You go from a giant lizard to a hedgehog cause Biolizard was based off of Chaos and Shadow was based off of the super hedgehog fighting him in the mural from Sonic Adventure. HOW DOES ANYONE NOT REALIZE THIS??
Well first Gerald made Shadow fifty years before the fight and 2. Why the hell would Gerald not give his grandson a spanking for trying to take over the world if he was still alive at that point and 2. Why the hell would Gerald care about or be in station square at the time
Holy shit...I always knew the 2nd fact...but the Biolizard thing just blew my mind! That means that...Shadow's fight with the thing is one hell of a symbolic parallel to Sonic's fight with Chaos!!!!
I heard the Sonic/Shadow mix up explained like this: Sonic was the only anthropomorphic super powered hedgehog they knew about. And since Shadow had similar powers, and since Sonic could have gotten new shoes, changed his quill style, and painted himself new colors they figured it was Sonic. Why would he have changed his colors and looks, you ask? As a disguise or something... Idk. I still think the mix up is ridiculous, but that explanation made it seem a little more sensible.
Honestly I don't have a problem with this at all sonic 06 Amy confuses silver for sonic. She confuses the werehog for sonic (even though he technically was sonic) he'll tails even confuse classic sonic for modern sonic even though classic sonic is shorter and chubbier at least the sonic series is consistent with the confusion of other characters. Which makes this set of events less agregous. Also shadows initial concept was to literally be a reflection of sonic, and they were supposed to look pretty much exactley like eachother with the quills and everything you can even see in concept art in Google images if you want. That's why sonic and shadow say they look exactley alike. I'm assuming they changed the design so he can be more of his own character also be more appealing (cuz the old design kind of looked ugly) I think this change was smart at the sacrifice of it being odd. EVEN than though I still can buy this in every way, spiderman gets the black symbiote and everyone still recognizes him as spiderman albeit with a new costume. This could be similar to that.
when they were writing that part of the script, they were working with Terios - who looks a lot more like Sonic. they later switched the mirror character to Shadow, but they didn't think {or just didnt have the time} to change the plot to fit a character that looks different
18:40 *Rouge’s* theme plays when it’s focused on *Shadow* And they cut each other off when Tails hits the space ship of because let’s face it, we all do that, right?
I agree. If the Master Emerald can turn the Chaos Emeralds into Super Emeralds, then there should be no problem for the Master Emerald to change it's size, like you said.
So Knuckles could just have it in his glove for all we know. It would be a smart move for protection as NO ONE WANTS TO SEE WHAT'S BENEATH A SONIC CHARACTER GLOVES. WE KNOW HOW IT IS AND HALF A GENERATION WAS TRAUMATIZED.
I just want to know why tf Knuckles can remove it from Angel Island. Isn't the entire point of the Master Emerald is that it sustains the island in the air? And yet he can somehow take it with him with no problem.
@@utopian4769 Until recently and Frontiers, lore hasn't been something SEGA cared about. They only started giving a shit in 2020 with the first Sonic movie
Most of the sins seemed to involve: A) Not being able to hear anyone over the music. B) Everyone cutting eachother off before they finished their sentences. But seriously, how hard could it be to just turn the music down a bit?
Seriously. I'm only an amateur at sound mixing, having only taken a course for a year, and I could probably do a better job with the audio levels than the people who made this game.
Shadow’s inhibitor rings limited his power, but when he took them off, he used more power than it should’ve, and he was weak when he fell back down, meaning he couldn’t fly back up.
@@ink_snow7334 Yeah, but then again SA2 was made before Sonic X I believe and some people only consider it an adaptation and not the actual events, so take that how they will.
Shadow: is that what chaos control is? I remember reading online somewhere that line was just a bad translation and Shadow was supposed to say "Was that chaos control?", which makes a lot more sense than his original line (since he was asking if the Biolizard had just used chaos control).
To highlight the dialogue issues: One, characters interrupt each other constantly because this game was made with Japanese dialogue in mind; listening to the Japanese actors makes the conversations flow more smoothly and is also why something like Maria is spelled, “Ma-Ri-A.” is used instead of “M-a-r-I-a” since the former is how you do so in Japanese Katakana. And two, barely hearing the characters at all is due to the music drowning out the character voices and this is most apparent in the HD version of SA2 Battle. While the original Dreamcast and even the GameCube versions still have this problem, it’s not nearly as bad and I recommend the GameCube version since its controller just feels so natural for it; though the HD version can also be modded to have a certain randomizer, so yeah.
The biggest problem I have with this game is the overpowered background music over the voice acting. Also, damn, this is the darkest Sonic game to date.
Actually, After Perfect Chaos was defeated by Super Sonic, the Station Square government might have found one of the Emeralds after Sonic was done with them and rewarded it to Tails for stopping Eggman's nuke.
Nope, Knuckles has 6 when Chaos 6 is beaten, the 7th is actually mounted to the front of the plane Tails used to fly himself and Sonic onto the Egg Carrier which ends up crashing into the Mystic Ruins Forest when Big the Cat flies it from the Egg Carrier to the forest. So Station Square government never had a Chaos Emerald at all. Sega messed up the story and didn't notice it.
Oh, also maybe the reason Shadow fell and Sonic didn't was some DBZ stuff. Sonic has gone super before but this is Shadow's first time.Maybe Sonic's learned how to use his power more efficiently so he can last longer.
You do realized that the English Voice lines are in sync with the Japanese Voice lines and the Japanese Lines are shorter, which is why some English lines are interrupted or cut off.
I always wondered how Gerald went from a giant lizard to a small hedgehog too until I thought about it. Gerald researched the ancient echidna tribe so he likely saw the mural of Perfect Chaos in the Lost World of Mystic Ruins so he made Artificial Chaos and eventually used Perfect Chaos as the basis of the Biolizard. When the prototype proved to be a flop he used the mural of Super Sonic located in the Hidden Palace as the basis for Shadow.
Man, you forgot the greatest sin, the one I never understood. Just think... There are 7 Chaos Emeralds Shadow throws the first one, which he stole, at the Cannon Rouge suddenly appear with another one They steal 3 Emeralds from the Prison Island 1 + 1 + 3 = 5 They had 5 Emeralds But then, there seens to be only one left (the one with Tails). How did they get the sixth Emerald???
Eggman most likely had one already, he has a keen interest in them thanks to their "UNLIMITED POWER!".(Whoops, wrong quo-ah, who cares)Therefore, i'd make sense for him to have at least one.
4:34 Shadow, please don't interrupt Sonic. Also, I can't hear you! Isn't that basically every cutscene in that game? I love the story of that game, but everyone cutting each other off and loud music playing in the background makes it hard to follow.
21:17 does that make Eggman and Maria related? And why doesn't the Professor care about Eggman as much as he does Maria? AND WHY DOESN'T *SEGA* MAKE A ORIGIN STORY ABOUT EGGMAN?! And what about Maria? We barley know anything about her, accept the fact she died on the Ark and she couldn't got to Earth because of her disease. But she still needs and origin story. The Gamers/Viewers still have questions like "who are Maria's and Eggman's parents?" "How did Maria get her disease?'' "Why did Eggman become evil and why does he hate Sonic so much?" The comics gave us most of these anwsers but those were told in a different story. in the comics Maria sacrificed herself for shadow, We got the origins of sonic and Eggman, and how they became who they are now. But the games expects us to know the origins of these characters. Some of these gamers/viewers don't know crap of these character Origins. I bet *SEGA* knows either. They just *ASSUMED* we knew and just mae the games without any backstory or a prolouge.
Well to be fair.. this is the 2ND adventure (title wise) half of your questions such as why is eggman evil and hates sonic is not something people would be asking in the 2ND Installment. As for Maria. I see her as a prop, Her excisitense alone was merely for shadows origin...and I think Gerald was staying in the arc wit Maria while eggman lived on earth
Man if your story doesn't tell or show a thing on the actual media and instead show on another media soo the story has bad telling, the one line ONE line who shows a little of Eggman past is past Eggman on Generations saying "I should stayed on college to teaching" (something like that) and even then we can't actually tell if is actually veridic because might just be a thrown away joke
Eggman wanted to build an amusement park and Sonic stops him. He tries again and his plan fails... Again, that is why Eggman hates sonic. Also Maria was most likely born with the disease.
-10 sins because of Escape from the City -10 more sins for the rest of the music -20 sins for the entire Chao garden +10 sins for Tails/Robotnik stages and hearing BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP from shooting the whole time +10 sins for the entire existence of Knuckles/Rouge stages +5 sins for camera +1000 sins for Omochao
Man, I forgot how often the voice syncs screw up in SA2B. Kudos for getting the cutscenes in chronological order. Also, strike for you Tails. You saw a news broadcast about a secret military base. Not so secret then, is it?
Dude, this series is awesome. It'd be such a shame if you stopped doing it. I'll even wait 6 months for the next video to come out, take all the time you need, just please don't stop ;_;
Actually, it's because they never re-synched the acting for the English dub. The back and forth translation IS responsible for stuff like Shadow shouting "Is that what Chaos Control is!?" instead of "Was that Chaos Control!?" and all of the Japanese shouting being carried over into English like Sonic shouting "Teriah", Eggman using "Yosh" and Knuckles using "Oraoraora"
This was my favorite game when I was younger and my first GameCube game alongside Animal Crossing. Played it again recently in 2014. Never gets old to me.
Hey Shadow, instead of wasting, like 5 mins fighting sonic... How about just telling him that your colleague is trapped in a prison cell with a chaos emerald on this island... THAT IS RIGGED WITH EXPLOSIVES!
The best part of SA2: Rolling around at the speed of sound Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow Can't stick around, have to keep movin' on Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out Must keep on movin' ahead No time for guessin', follow my plan instead Trusting in what you can't see Take my lead, I'll set you free Follow me - set me free - trust me And we will escape from the city I'll make it through, follow - Follow me - set me free - trust me And we will escape from the city I'll make it through, prove it to you Follow me Danger is lurking around every turn Trust your feelings, gotta live and learn I know with some luck that I'll make it through Got no other options, only one things to do I don't care what lies ahead No time for guessin', follow my plan instead Find that next stage no matter what that may be Take my lead, I'll set you free Follow me - set me free - trust me And we will escape from the city I'll make it through, follow - Follow me - set me free - trust me And we will escape from the city I'll make it through, prove it to you Follow me Follow me I'll make it through, Oh, yeah.
3:53 The “What?” scene is my favorite because I saw an edit where Shadow says “I’m making f*cking mac and cheese, and no one can stop me!” while the chaos emeralds is replaced by a box of Kraft mac and cheese, and it is the funniest thing ever.
4:06 Sonic saying "fake hedgehog" is a mistranslation from the original Japanese script, in the Japanese version of sa2, Sonic says "impostor" instead of "fake hedgehog*
The reason Sonic didn't die but Shadow did is because Shadow put all of his effort and energy into stopping it, whereas Sonic couldn't be assed saving anyone and only went about half power. Shadow done all the work and died as a result. Heck, Sonic even lets go when Shadow goes all out, just like "eh, he's tryharding now so I'll just leave it to him." And didn't Shadow take off his Inhibiter Rings? That's probably how Sonic got them but not Shadow. Also, We have seen Sonic fall from space and land face-first into the ground without so much of a bruise, are we really supposed to believe Shadow would die from that fall when he's actually *stronger* than Sonic?!
+Darth Dood I thought he did die? He Just got replaced by a variety of clones and robots which is why He has no memory at then start of every game because hes actually a different Shadow replica... although it is implied that one of them might be the real Shadow
10:38 I think that the whole flashback had to do with Shadow's promise to Maria before she died. In Sonic X, Shadow promised Maria, during her final moments, that he would protect the people of Earth. Therefore, the flashback triggered. I know this is late, but whatever.
So I know it's been years, but I come back to this every once in a while because it's fun. But I just had a funny thought... Totally should have had a bonus round for every cutscene with Big the Cat. And every obvious stage appearance.
That thing about the Echidna Tribe - It's supposedly called the Knuckles Tribe (coincidence, right?) and had been gone for 4000 years according to a dead echidna named Tikal. Knuckles is one of the few descendants.
For Sin #162 and #163, that is actually one of Shadow's inhibitor rings, and when he removes them, he is granted extreme power, but much shorter stamina. When Shadow fell to Earth, Sonic most likely found the ring and gave to Rouge as a gift to remember Shadow. And the reason that Sonic survived and Shadow didn't is because Sonic didn't use all of his remaining energy (damn main character immunity. xD). And like I said before, Sonic didn't fall because Shadow removed the inhibitor rings, which means more power but less stamina.
DiamondJoyride im not trying to be an as*hole but i said the exact same stuff. its right under this comment. XD (or its under this comment from what i see)
