Sonic VS Shadow

There are two Sonic Vs Shadow fights in Sonic Adventure 2. Both fights are in both stories, and happen at the same points in the story.

1st Fight

The first fight happens when Sonic meets Shadow in the jungle on the military island. Sonic confronts Shadow, calling him a faker, due to Sonic taking the blame for Shadow's actions.

Sonic and Shadow then get into a fight. They attack in an enclosed arena, and have to attack each other to win in their respective story. You attack with homing attacks and spindashes on your opponent. Finding the right time to hit your opponent can be a challenge as most of the time they will attack back in self-defense.

Once you win the fight, Eggman tells Shadow to get off the Island, as it is going to blow up. Sonic overhears this, and Shadow and Sonic split up for the time being to escape the Island. They go to their respective levels, Green Forest on the Hero side and White Jungle on the Dark side.

2nd Fight

Their second and last fight together happens on the Space Colony Ark at the end of both stories. Sonic is trying to destroy the Eclipse Cannon, while Shadow is trying to stop Sonic.

The fight is very different from their first encounter. The fight takes place on an always moving endless highway, with the road behind them constantly falling, forcing them to stay at top speed for the entire fight.

Attacking is the same as the 1st time with homing attacks and spindashes. The difference here happens when the player hangs back too far. The computer will attack with their special attack, Sonic Wind for Sonic and Chaos Spear for Shadow. When this happens the character will freeze for a brief moment to use their special attack, giving a slight window to attack them. Whenever the computer falls back enough that they fall with the falling road, they use Chaos Control to return to the fight. The player has no such advantage and must simply run for their lives to stay alive with the destroying runway.
