I get where you are coming from and that would be cool. But realistically since the force is coming from his shoes as they are rockets, if he tried to keep skating he would just be blasted into the air so instead he becomes a rocket himself. For Sonic it makes sense because he is using the ground to propel himself as he is just running so he can just run faster in his boost while shadow is being pushed off the ground through combustion not making direct contact with the ground. It just wouldn’t make sense for him to keep skating with that much force being applied from his shoes. What I would love are more varied skate animations depending on how he is moving and the terrain!
Ok, now that's a hilarious and brillant way of saying it lol. To be honest, i never thought about that until now. It does make a lot of sense of what you're saying. But then again, I guess I'm the only one who think Shadow's Skating while Boosting would be hella cool.
The issue is that It’s implied that shadow Is fast without his shoes I assumed the shoes were designed to reduce friction Like how in the game manuals for the old sonic games Sonics shoes were said to reduce friction so he can run without resistance His rockets stay the same power he himself is just pushing harder.
The lore is so all over the place it hard to figure out what he is doing…either he controls the power levels of his rocket shoes or he uses chaos energy to propel himself to boost speeds which would have him “flying” forward. They even dodged answering this question on one of their webisodes outright asking shadow about needing his shoes to be fast…he just gets angry and chaos blasts….sooooo who knows?
Super agree. The only way to *fix* this problem is to just remove the boost outright, which sega won’t do i don’t think. Maybe when we get those adventure remakes, we’ll get more varied skate animations like you say
I thought the reason why he was hovering was because he used Chaos Control to boost because in Shadow 05 he does that and also in Sonic Generations 3DS he shout "Chaos Control" when he boost (at least he does in the French version not sure about the other language) and besides in other games he used some sort of hovering attack like in Mario&Sonic at the Olympics Games series
Personally I like the hover. To me, it gives off the same vibe as a rocket taking off like a rocket as if his Air Shoes are being kicked into overdrive by use of Shadow’s Chaos Energy.
Yeah the skating animation is definitely better. Such a good look. Everyone keeps saying “oh but they’re air shoes. Of course he’s flying” WE KNOW! We’re fully aware! We just think the skating looks better.
I don’t understand people who hate the flying boost animation, he has hovering shoes for a reason and yall are saying he shouldn’t use them??? What sense does that even make???
Look i understand what you trying to say, I never said that he shouldn't be using his Hovering Rocket Animations while boosting. (i mean there's 1 part of it, but that's just my opinion), In the end. I just want Sega to add something like a Toggle to Switch Between Boost Animations. So people can choose what Style they want for their Boost Animations. A Win-Win Situation for both Parties. Personally, i know that his shoes are make out of rocket so it does make sense. But it's a game, we gonna have some customization when it come to Animations. Some Swag and Cool way to enjoy the game, even if didn't make sense. (i even leave a description, if the video didn't make any sense to you) If you like Hovering you got it, if you like Skating you got it. (i can't tell whether you watched the whole video or not). I hope that's clear things out.
I completely agree with you. Usually, the faster you skate the less your arms are flailing around and youre leaning in more. Its a more focused animation the more you increase in speed. Sonic does this too. The faster he goes, the less he bounces
My main problem with Sonic X Shadow Generations is the overall inconsistency between Sonic and Shadow’s animation and effects. Instead of the Generations after effect on a homing attack, it’s the Frontiers homing attack wind effect. Instead of the shiny gold rings in Generations, it’s a more yellow cartoony type. I get that they used the Hedgehog Engine 2 for this game, so they’re borrowing their assets from Forces and Frontiers, but it makes the two campaigns look like completely different games, and honestly in some aspects it makes the 2011 campaign look slightly better visually compared to the 2024 one in some cases (mostly because I kind of just prefer the artstyle and lighting of the original Generations.)
yeah i understand what you're saying, but let's just wait till the game release and try it out ourselves first. Even if you still have that thoughts. I'm sure Modders will fix some of your problem.
I think its really cool he hovers, cause we only really see that in super forms, so the hover animation puts him that much closer to that standard And when you put it into the context of the angel island mural theory, well that just makes it that much cooler for me
I 100% agree with everything you’re saying, but I don’t mind Shadow hovering when boosting. I personally feel like it shows that Shadow’s way to keep up with Sonic most of the time is The Air Shoes
Shadow currently his skating gets slower the faster he gets, and I like that so for that reason I hate when shadows animation for boosting is just a sped up version,but I’m not against it as if they just make him have longer strides to emphasize how much effort he is putting into the boost I would love it, but I still really like the idea of the flying boost. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have problems with it, the current one has a worse animation then in generations, in gens you could still see was moving while boosting because of his body reacting to the boost, but now you can barely tell because the animation has like 2 frames masking it look like he is just staying still in the air, and the crazy part it, his air boost animation is perfect, has movement and his arms are behind him, like why is he doing the classic sonic thing where his arms are tucked to the side of the front of him, let them go behind him
Its crazy how everything else from shadow gens. Doesn't have anyone concerned gameplay wise or story wise So the only problems we have are relatively small things
It's been about 17 years since Shadow was playable in Sonic 06. We haven't had a new Shadow the Hedgehog game until now. Everyone is hyped that Shadow is finally getting his second solo game after Shadow the Hedgehog (2005). That's why people aren't really concerned about the gameplay or the story itself.
I agree bro, but it also just depends on how good they make the animation. If you play as one of the super shadow mods in sa2, the one that doesn’t change his physics, his top speed animation is the metal sonic top speed animation, which is the best hover animation in all of sonic. Though I’ll always pick skating over hovering. Love SA2’s skating animations, just so swaggy and smooth
Honestly, I like hover animation on boost more. If he used skating for boosting, he’d look like he’s struggling. But hovering? He hovers like it’s nothing. Plus, it only makes sense.
You said Super Sonic only has one boosting animation, but the Generations footage clearly shows two. What can improve the hover-boosting animation is to have long, highly visible jets of flame emit from the air shoes to give the impression of zooming like a jet or rocket.
Me personally I don't mind the hovering animation but the thing about this game that's kinda getting to me is the change in boost aura and the homing attack animation. The homing attack has a wind animation instead of his original orange aura behind it, he doesn't have that bubble like aura when boosts like sonic had in generations instead it looks more like forces boost, and the camera is a little too far to feel like a generations remake it looks more like frontiers, and it seems like the pace is slightly slower compared to generations. Tbh if you ask me the only thing I see comparable to generations is the win design at the end of the mission and the ranking, other than that it looks like a completely different game in comparison
Fyi, the reason why Shadow has a skating animation instead of hover is not because the mod creator wanted it to be, its because the slot for a dedicated boosting animation doesn't exist. Rush, Rush Adventure, and Unleashed used the same animation for that and full speed running. And since the game is not very accessible, it's hard to add custom animations. A dedicated boosting animations started only in Colors. Also, I can understand your take. But I don't think it's really that notable (you have every right to note it out though, ur channel, freedom of speech and shi). I mean, look at all the other animations in this game, it's literally the best the franchise has seen in any capacity or form. Lastly, I don't really see the point in a hovering animation, since Shadow can't gain any more speed with force, as most of the work is done by the air shoes. All he needs is balance. Hovering makes more sense as putting his feet palms behind him allows the shoes to propel him forward like rocket shoes.
Ohhh, now i understand how modding work in Sonic Game and why Modders do that. Yeah, i do get that Hovering make more sense cause like i said "story lore wise whatever". Mostly, i just think that Skating while Boosting is hella stylish and awesome for Shadow's because i just love the way he's skating! Maybe i played too much Shadow's Mods for Sonic Games to the point i got addicted to Shadow Skating while Boosting lol
Its the best from a graphical point if view. Similar to forces being above previous boost games in that regard. Just like those however, It lacks style and direction as its just a stagnant floating shadow. It also feels out of character for him to launch himself awkwardly for speed. Chaos abilities would make sense as he did that in 05 but this looks uninspiring and takes away the coolest thing from shadow, him skating. He boosted with the inhibitors *Off* when he fights Mephiles and he was skating there. As far as I’m concerned, the air shoes allowed him to hover. Not propel infinitely wherever he wanted. He never flied with them (until forces if you count this as flying but this makes a plot hole because theoretically he can just fly if his feet are on on the ground) Point being is that him having a rocket boost is ridiculous and really isn’t necessary at all. Its the equivalent of making sonic’s boost be a constant spin dash.
The video hasn't started and I already agree. If it's about him floating I think it's dumb and might as well fully fly. I think the same for tails. You're feet are off the ground! Are you fling? Running and twirling tails make much more sense. Back to shadow, he should definitely do big over exaggerated skate kicks when boosting
Yea, i agree. I find it extremely boring looking at shadow just kind of floating there in the air. U cant tell me that skating really fast is less interesting than that. Edit: it also sucks because the team actually put effort into his skating animation in shadow generations but we'll barely see it since i imagine it'll be really easy to get boost
Wow I thought I was the only one who felt this way about the current Shadow boost, glad to know there are others that feel the same. Also the boost Aura is terrible as well, it was the best in Sonic Unleashed and in Generations.
Its 2024 and ppl stil dont know that the airshoes are supposed to make him fly at max Speed, this shit has been a thing since Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow 2005. And thats how he boosts in the Rival battle in Sonic Gens. The point is that at max speed he needs to do that.
Look i understand what you trying to say, I never said that he shouldn't be using his Hovering Rocket Animations while boosting. (i mean there's 1 part of it, but that's just my opinion), In the end. I just want Sega to add something like a Toggle to Switch Between Boost Animations. So people can choose what Style they want for their Boost Animations. A Win-Win Situation for both Parties. Personally, i know that his shoes are make out of rocket so it does make sense. But it's a game, we gonna have some customization when it come to Animations. Some Swag and Cool way to enjoy the game, even if didn't make sense. (i even leave a description, if the video didn't make any sense to you) If you like Hovering you got it, if you like Skating you got it. (i can't tell whether you watched the whole video or not). I hope that's clear things out.
Ironically This is a popular opinion just didn’t think I’d find a 8 minute video on it I largely agree the. Main reason it’s like this is bc generations Did it like that And I get why The animation emphasised The rocket like Nature of his speed. But Sonic Has a running animation and people like it.
It doesn't bother me as much, but i totally get your point !! I would say it's just mildly infuriating. I mean his shoes are literally becoming rockets and shoot him forward.
I mean i understand how his shoes work like a rocket. It's just that i kinda wish Sega could've add something like a Toggle Button if you want Shadow to be Skating while Boosting or Hovering like a Rocket while boosting. That's mostly what this video is about lol. Then again i hope Modder will fulfill my wish when this game come out.
Hop off the skating animation in Shadow 2005, it looks so smooth 😭🙏 Also, have you seen his run cycle in Project 06? Not only is it super slick, but he gets this awesome effect at higher speeds where his skates leave a trail behind them
You can't be serious. His shoes are supposed to propel him Upwards/Make him Hover above the ground. If you don't like that you're gonna have to suck it or wait for a mod.
Thanks for pointing out, I forgot to mention that It would be awesome to see what these animations would look like when Shadow's is boosting. (during this part i was speaking out of my head without needed to read the script and i forgot about it the rest of it, mb)
It's not bad or anything, i'm just wish we could have a toggle to switch boost animations, cause i always love seeing him skating while he's boosting more than just hovering. Because it's swag and cool. (some people do prefer what i mentioned in this video and some don't.)
Leaving a quick Second comment but This is why sonic fans shouldn’t stop complaining Obviously within reason. No hating or Just being aggressive just I don’t like this I’m gonna talk about it The only reason shadow has this skating animation is cuz someone on the Generations team thought it would be cool people didn’t like it But Diddnt care enough to say So they DONT KNOW. Someone should be telling them stuff like this
Heroes and shadow have the same animations Sonic force isn’t a game it’s sonic forces, and you seem to not say the letter s at all but there it’s probably an accent thing but you said sonic force not even sonic force-i and not pronounce it the s. I hope I don’t come across as mean I just am confused And hover is supposed be shadows going so fast with his air shoes he can just keep going by hovering. I do think skating is cool but sonic and shadow both have effortless top speeds in opposite ways and that further pushes there rivalry through animation because while it takes them both effort to get to to speed sonic finds it easy to maintain the speed in his leg movements and coasts along no problem. While shadow littlerally floats along no problem. The unleashed shadow mod only has him skating while boosting because the boost and top speed run are the same and it would look weird for shadow to boost with no boost aura. And it would be hard to mod it yourself when the game comes out. When hedgearcpack becomes compatible with the game, use it to unpack shadow’s .pac file and swap the copy the skate animation and rename it to the same as the boost and replace it, assuming modding that game works anything like modding forces and frontiers
@@Kookie_13_ yeah sorry for the accent, it's just that my cheap microphonee tend to hard to catch the phrase 's' like you just mentioned because I'm using an AI Noise Cancelling so it's sometimes glitch out the audio, but it's mostly because off my accent that's why I always provided CC. For me I feel like heroes is a bit different compared to shadow the hedgehog if you look closely. And about the modding. Yes there's someone who already pointed out for me and I understand how modding works in general. Because I only do modding for other games like Yakuza and thought it would be similar and easy to Sonic modding. But I guess it's not. And most of the problem left you mentioned? It's all explained in the description.
We complaining about a god damn boost animation??? We've reached the bottom of the barrel haven't we? Its rocket shoes, they propel shadow FORWARD he ain't gonna skate faster while boosting thats not how it works. So honestly this take is just You just finding a reason to complain about something since you cant come up with something better to talk about
@@SmashtoonGamer 💀 i know, but this is so stupid to the point that theres no reason to complain about it at all. This is like saying the reason why the super sonic fights in frontiers suck is because sonic doesn't have red eyes
Damn, you're that guy who talking about Shadow's Skating video thing, good vid man. And yeah, I do share the same appreciation as you because you know, the lore behind Shadow's Air-Shoes is deeper than I ever imagined.
i’m glad I’m not the only person who feels that way and sure you can make that argument that one person was talking talking about where it’s “him using his chaos energy ” but that’s such a dumb Way too excuse laziness besides, even if that was the case, why would he be able to chaos control? I mean, a lot of y’all forget that shadow is only able to chaos control that I emerald after the adventure games because he like the bio lizard has a organ that allows them to STORE not CREATE chaos energy if he was using that to move faster all the time how would he be able to chaos control? He would be out of energy
I get where you are coming from and that would be cool. But realistically since the force is coming from his shoes as they are rockets, if he tried to keep skating he would just be blasted into the air so instead he becomes a rocket himself. For Sonic it makes sense because he is using the ground to propel himself as he is just running so he can just run faster in his boost while shadow is being pushed off the ground through combustion not making direct contact with the ground.

He has rocket in his boots, and he did fly in the beginning of SA2 too.
Yeah i know. Mostly this video just about me yapping of why they won't let Shadow's do the Skating Animation while he boosting.
@@ColorSettings I'd prefer for then to tweak a little his flight anim while boosting. It could have a lot more grace, I agree.
My main problem with Sonic X Shadow Generations is the overall inconsistency between Sonic and Shadow’s animation and effects. Instead of the Generations after effect on a homing attack, it’s the Frontiers homing attack wind effect. Instead of the shiny gold rings in Generations, it’s a more yellow cartoony type.

This is my pet peeve as well, it just makes the whole thing look inconsistent like 2 entirely different games.
The original Generations still has far better environmental detail.
Since Shadow has his own HUD, what about Sonic's?
@@AYTM1200In a nutshell, Two worlds, two dimensions, two different games. What kind of reality does Sonic live?
I think its really cool he hovers, cause we only really see that in super forms, so the hover animation puts him that much closer to that standard
And when you put it into the context of the angel island mural theory, well that just makes it that much cooler for me
I dont really mind the hovering that much since it makes since, but id be lying if i said i didnt like his skate animation more
Word, I wanna see him skating at high speed like he has to get off the island before it blow up with him on it
I 100% agree with everything you’re saying, but I don’t mind Shadow hovering when boosting. I personally feel like it shows that Shadow’s way to keep up with Sonic most of the time is The Air Shoes

Yes. Boost Shadow is the only thing I don't like about this game at the moment.

I think the hover is better because it makes him different from sonic
You can't be serious. His shoes are supposed to propel him Upwards/Make him Hover above the ground. If you don't like that you're gonna have to suck it or wait for a mod.
Sorry bro, but you did not cook with this one, I like the hovering, it looks awesome.
oh man thank you! i have been thinking this the whole time! I hate the hover! it has no momentum.
SA2 never has boost yet, it makes sense since roller skaters gain speed.
Thanks for pointing out, I forgot to mention that It would be awesome to see what these animations would look like when Shadow's is boosting.
(during this part i was speaking out of my head without needed to read the script and i forgot about it the rest of it, mb)
I commented the same premise for this video on a gameplay showcase the other day what a coincidence😂
I don't get the hate he's been doing this since the original generations
I swear us Sonic fans have such a bad rap for shit like this, why can't we be happy with what we have?
he had that boost animation for like 13 years. i agree i like the skating animation better but is it really that deep?
I think it actually looks weird when he scates while boosting, I think it is better when he floats it looks cooler in my opinion...
hey, everybody have their own taste ya know, and i respect your opinion on that.
@@ColorSettings but I agree, they should give him an option to change animations, it could satisfy everyone...
@@littlebigplaylbpgames9676 spot on! just what i always want not for me but for the other too.
This is kinda the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Why is someone complaining abt the boost? Maybe it’s bad but all they need is to polish it ig
It's not bad or anything, i'm just wish we could have a toggle to switch boost animations, cause i always love seeing him skating while he's boosting more than just hovering. Because it's swag and cool. (some people do prefer what i mentioned in this video and some don't.)
I want a new animation I like the hovering and skating but skating is just the same animation but faster like I want a new animation
I WAITING for fucking amazon to open the pre order of the game on my country.
Leaving a quick Second comment but
This is why sonic fans shouldn’t stop complaining Obviously within reason.
No hating or Just being aggressive just I don’t like this I’m gonna talk about it
The only reason shadow has this skating animation is cuz someone on the Generations team thought it would be cool people didn’t like it But Diddnt care enough to say
So they DONT KNOW. Someone should be telling them stuff like this
Heroes and shadow have the same animations
Sonic force isn’t a game it’s sonic forces, and you seem to not say the letter s at all but there it’s probably an accent thing but you said sonic force not even sonic force-i and not pronounce it the s. I hope I don’t come across as mean I just am confused
And hover is supposed be shadows going so fast with his air shoes he can just keep going by hovering. I do think skating is cool but sonic and shadow both have effortless top speeds in opposite ways and that further pushes there rivalry through animation because while it takes them both effort to get to to speed sonic finds it easy to maintain the speed in his leg movements and coasts along no problem. While shadow littlerally floats along no problem.
The unleashed shadow mod only has him skating while boosting because the boost and top speed run are the same and it would look weird for shadow to boost with no boost aura. And it would be hard to mod it yourself when the game comes out. When hedgearcpack becomes compatible with the game, use it to unpack shadow’s .pac file and swap the copy the skate animation and rename it to the same as the boost and replace it, assuming modding that game works anything like modding forces and frontiers
@@Kookie_13_ yeah sorry for the accent, it's just that my cheap microphonee tend to hard to catch the phrase 's' like you just mentioned because I'm using an AI Noise Cancelling so it's sometimes glitch out the audio, but it's mostly because off my accent that's why I always provided CC.
For me I feel like heroes is a bit different compared to shadow the hedgehog if you look closely. And about the modding. Yes there's someone who already pointed out for me and I understand how modding works in general. Because I only do modding for other games like Yakuza and thought it would be similar and easy to Sonic modding. But I guess it's not. And most of the problem left you mentioned? It's all explained in the description.
We complaining about a god damn boost animation??? We've reached the bottom of the barrel haven't we? Its rocket shoes, they propel shadow FORWARD
he ain't gonna skate faster while boosting thats not how it works. So honestly this take is just
You just finding a reason to complain about something since you cant come up with something better to talk about
Dude it’s TH-cam, people talk about whatever they want to. It’s not the end of the world
@@SmashtoonGamer 💀 i know, but this is so stupid to the point that theres no reason to complain about it at all. This is like saying the reason why the super sonic fights in frontiers suck is because sonic doesn't have red eyes
Enjoy the damn game
The game is not even out yet 💀💀
SPITTINGGGGGGG
I'll forever hate the flying animation when he boosts, but i do have some appreciation for it if i wanna be honest
Damn, you're that guy who talking about Shadow's Skating video thing, good vid man.
And yeah, I do share the same appreciation as you because you know, the lore behind Shadow's Air-Shoes is deeper than I ever imagined.
Kinda crazy how Generations Mods get the skating while boosting right, while Forces & Shadow Gens have him floating like he's in his super form
You forgot Metal Sonic's.
He has Airshoes, they are literally made to propel him forward.
bruh.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard
i know...
i’m glad I’m not the only person who feels that way and sure you can make that argument that one person was talking talking about where it’s “him using his chaos energy ” but that’s such a dumb Way too excuse laziness besides, even if that was the case, why would he be able to chaos control? I mean, a lot of y’all forget that shadow is only able to chaos control that I emerald after the adventure games because he like the bio lizard has a organ that allows them to STORE not CREATE chaos energy if he was using that to move faster all the time how would he be able to chaos control? He would be out of energy
