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.

Attack Patterns

Both Sonic and Shadow use the same attack. No special attacks, the only thing you have to worry about is falling of the small arena. Bear in mind, if you deflect an attack, the latter will not lose health. Also, this when you can fall, so be careful.

• 1st Attack: The usual homing attack. Pretty simple to deflect it. Just counter home attack, or even spin dash.
• 2nd Attack: Spin Dash. Self-Explanatory. Just jump over it, not difficult.

After the Battle

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.

Attack Patterns

Both Sonic and Shadow use the same attack, but with different names. The floors continuously fall behind you, think Sonic and Knuckles's Death Egg Zone final boss with the falling floors. Also another thing, there is meteorites on the sides of the "Highway in the Sky", that make you lose rings if come in contact with. One more tip, if any time the boss character would go to far behind the player, he will return to the front using Chaos Control.

• 1st Attack: The usual homing attack. Pretty simple to deflect it. Just counter home attack, or even spin dash.
• 2nd Attack: Spin Dash. Self-Explanatory. Just jump over it, not difficult.
• 2nd Attack: Sonic Wind for Sonic. Chaos Spear for Shadow. When the boss character stops, he will activate his special ability. The attack is basically homing missiles in the form of chaos energy. If you are about to be hit by said attack, just somersault. DO NOT try to jump over it. It could cause you to fall off, and die. The best way to attack is to either home attack, or spin dash right into the boss.

• Quick tip:Another way to defeat the boss is to wait until the boss has Chaos Controlled back into sight. Spin dash, or Light Dash into them. They can not jump out of the way, so they are forcibly hit.
