Sonic X Shadow Generations - Mephiles Boss Fight (No Damage) 

I find it neat that he knows he doesn’t exist in the main timeline any more and is working to come back.

To Mephiles, this rematch with Shadow was his best chance of returning to the timeline. To Shadow, this was just another bump on the road.

Mephiles has none of that fake charm he used in Sonic 06 it's just pure anger and fear and hatred towards Shadow he's scared of Shadow beating him because that means he won't exist he's desperately fighting harder than he's ever did in 06

I really love how they handled Mephiles here. He is clearly the only character in Generations overall that is completely aware that he only exists in the void, and that his sudden chance to return only happened cause of Black Doom. And he’s doing his damnest to make sure he defeats Shadow to not waste what could be his only opportunity. You can hear it in his voice, especially near the end, when he is full of desperation and fear. A far cry from his manipulative, fearless former self. Kinda makes you feel bad for him, though he clearly had it coming. Props to the team for making Mephiles’ surprising return truly a spectacle.

This boss fight effectively confirmed that Mephiles IS "alive". He's simply stuck in the void, unable to leave and interact with the timeline; fully aware of his predicament. Which asks a VERY interesting question: If Robotnik(Classic) and Eggman(Modern) managed to find their way out of the void, what's stopping Mephiles? Or is he alredy out and we just don't know it yet?

Mephiles: You ruin everything to me Shadow! Shadow: ... I don´t even know who you are. Memphis Tennessee: D:

i can understand why a lot of people wanted dan green back, and it’s completely fair to prefer the og, but i think robbie did a great job as mephiles. he never disappoints

That beam that he shot out was the same one he "killed" sonic with!

Memphis Tennessee in a mainline Sonic game? IN 2024?!

“Is that Sonic how the fuck did he get here, what the fuck is doing in my shield?”

Mephilies is voiced by Robbie daymond, who voiced akechi in persona 5.

oh yeah i forgot 06 canonically retconed itself out of existence.

I like this new voice he’s seems less composed which is fitting given his many failures

Meanwhile, Black Doom sweating bullets in the background as he realizes he nearly brought back something too dangerous to exist in causal reality.

Shadow just straight up and gave the "I don't even know who you are..." treatment to Mephiles LMAO! In all seriousness, I'm glad their looking back into Sonic '06 more, hopefully they'll do the same for Forces so we can get Infinite back again...🙏😖

"If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have!"

Mephilis tried to kill shadow the same way he killed sonic but shadow doges it

Mephiles is voiced by Robbie Daymond, the voice of Goro Akechi from Persona 5, Zhao from Like A Dragon, and Jugram from Bleach Thousand Year Blood War.

Shadow did not succeed in sealing Mephiles in dusty desert in 06 but this time he did.

4:10 The I of now absorbed your power through your shadow in the past. What may have worked 10 years ago, no longer does! This fight is full of 06 references no way they forgot this.

3:51 sobs and cries as a mephiles fan Me too mephiles me too

He thought he would exist. But he forgot that he merged into Iblis which it costs to lose his mind in the process. A forgotten entity in a worse 2006 game.

WELCOME BACK TO TILTED TOWERS

Interesting. Although a part of me was expecting Mephiles to sound different (it has been like, what, two decades since he’s had an actual appearance, voiced and all?), I’m not sure *how* to feel about Mephiles’ new voice. Could they not get Dan Green back to voice him? Is it Dan Green or is it another voice actor? Did his old voice also get erased from existence and he had to get a new one in-universe? Well, either way, I guess even Mephiles is not safe from the whole “Sonic characters suddenly getting new voices in the English version of the series every decade or more” tradition. (Edit: After reading some of the comments here, I now understand why Mephiles sounds different. Apparently, Dan Green had retired from voice acting in 2011 after the passing of his wife. A very understandable reason and I am sorry for his loss. I hope he’s doing alright these days. Mephiles’ new voice actor here is Robbie Daymond). Voice aside, it’s good to see Mephiles again, even if he’ll never have a future. Ever. As a fan of him, I’ll still have to come to terms with accepting that fact considering just how dangerous he is as Solaris, his true self. Either way, Solaris means a lot to me considering how much the super-dimensional being that eats dimensions for lunch has been a great source of inspiration for me in terms of creativity, alongside some of the other godly beings in the Sonic series and I’m not ashamed nor embarrassed to express that just because Solaris originated from Sonic ‘06 of all games. Ever since I fell in love with Solaris, god characters in general have been a great source of inspiration for me and tend to be my favorite characters in media and my favorite kind of entity in general. Solaris had also made me become real familiar with all the space-time and multiversal elements used in media. (Now that I think about it, what would happen if someone were to absorb Solaris in his original tiny flame form and assimilate him into their being instead of just blowing him out of existence? Would they gain all of Solaris’ traits and abilities? Become a new form of the entity? It’s something that I tend to imagine when I think about him now. I just want to absorb him and assimilate him into my being. Pardon, ignore my weird personal ramblings here.)

this is very funny, it supposed that he mentioned that the seal effect wasn't work on him anymore (mephiles said that in the shadow story ending of 2006) but in the end, he was trapped in that vessel again (i've wonder if iblis returned back and silver had to fight him again)

He sounded really desperate in this game, he have been sealed and forgotten for a decade at this point like damn, he really want to exists somewhere in the timeline

"I want to exist!" Poor dude.

This just shows how powerful Shadow is and has gotten.

ME FILES! I should have known

"Did you forget about me, AGAIN?" Yeah bro you don't exist anymore, nah dip.

2:40 Oh my god he brought the Tilted Towers as an attack.

I really don’t like Mephiles’ new voice, obviously they weren’t gonna get Dan Green back, but at least try & emulate his performance. Also interesting they don’t leave a door open or imply Mephiles restored himself to the main timeline so he can be used in future games.

Robbie Daymond is a fantastic voice actor in general, but he was really the wrong choice to play Mephiles (and I say this as the internet's #1 Mephiles loather lol) He sounds way too light

Ray Chase doing his Sukuna voice i feel would have fit Meph more then Robbie Daymond

They should hire Patrick Seitz to voice Mephiles.

this boss fight makes no sense when you think about it. if mephiles wants to exist and is trying to get back to the timeline why isn't he trying to kill sonic he's done it twice maybe more confirmed in o6 or going after Elise? how does beating shadow bring him back to the timeline when shadow wasn't the one who erased him. also the septor doesn't work on mephiles anymore but it does here for some reason?. and mephiles time travels he was literally in 3 points of time in o6 while being the mind and time powered part of solaris so what's stopping him from time traveling to the or a future or past to make sure he exists. mephiles is smart he used silver and other factors to help him become solaris so wouldn't he use shadows and sonics adventure through time to free himself if he isn't capable doing it himself. it's nice to see him again but i don't understand him here

Neat to know the timeline wasnt outright erased but sealed away.

And what do you know, the perfect shape

Mephiles voice actor confirmed is not the Dan green

Now that I think about it Doom could've use Mephiles as a vessel and created the Ultimate being

in case if someone forgot, back on sonic 2006, princess elise blow up the fire of solaris, so iblis and also mephiles will no longer exist, and yet, they will never meant to meet each other, include memory will also erase. which explains why shadow don't remember about the seal and mephiles

Ok wait so basically Mephiles is just trapped in the void, Worst too since his in the seal too

I kinda feel bad for Mephiles. He is stuck in a time loop and only fails to return to the timeline. He got the fate worse than death.

Shadow actually fought the devil himself undefeated a thousand year old evil take that Dante

I wanted to avoid spoilers so bad but I can't help it I need to see my GOAT Mephiles the Dark

This boss fight looks way similar that the one in Sonic Robo Blast 2 with Metal Sonic

Voice sucks but Mephiles even returning in the first place is awesome. Though i wish he had a bigger role in the story

He is no Dan Green but I already love his new voice.

People need to let go of nostalgia. Robbie is a great fit for Mephiles. Dan Green is a great voice actor but the fact that he used his Yugi (Atem) for Mephiles made the character semi annoying to listen to and hard to differentiate Mephiles from Atem. Like, how can I take the scene of Sonic dying seriously when Atem is just laughing his ass off at Sonic dying. This voice gives Mephiles a sense of sophistication but with immense desperation. Which is fitting considering Mephiles is a god who’s trying to restore himself at all costs.

and hes captured again 😂😂😂 see u in more 20 yrs mephiles lmaoo

I was expecting some more cutscenes of mephils

Shadow vs the giga-chad part lizard map-creator gamer.

I guess that Sonic (2006) was a bad game and erase it from Sonic game timeline.

Mephiles is way to casual sounding in my opinion. The things he says not the voice itself

Wow it doesn't look menacing compare to his previous counterpart lol

We'll see who did it better SEGA or ChaosX

9 points short of 42069 rip

I'm disappointed that his voice is different.

Mephiles!!!!
