Shadow and Mephiles V2!
For the people of this basement, I promise you… REVENGE!!!
Our final V2 mod is for what was originally my most broken characters! Both Shadow and Mephiles have been given significant reworks, PLUS they’re the first characters to feature some new lua code written by my partner, Catherine!
– SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG –
The ultimate lifeform deserves some ultimate spritework! Shadow now skates while moving around, and thanks to Catherine his tears are now CHAOS SPEARS! Your spears are able to cover extra ground and block enemy attacks, so they’re offensive AND defensive.
Shadow comes with the Hourglass as a pocket active along with the 4.5 volt; this allows him to slow down time around him after causing enough damage, as a tribute to his 2005 game. Show those creatures you mean business!
As a final bonus, Shadow also starts with How to Jump, just like Sonic, allowing him to cross gaps and escape tricky situations; try it and watch Shadow phase through the air!
– MEPHILES THE DARK –
Mephiles is still a more passive fighter that’s designed to rush in and back out at the right moments. His kit however has had a substantial rework to make his gameplay more fair and better represent the original goal I wanted for him.
Mephiles cannot shoot on his own or collect red health, instead relying on his power over shadows to defeat enemies and remain difficult to reach directly.
Dark Arts is back, now empowered by the Book of Virtues. This allows Mephiles to strike enemies directly and summon black wisps to defend himself with for each successful kill. He also has a follower in the form of Incubus, which will shoot tears on his command and stay close thanks to the Friendship Necklace trinket.
Lastly, as someone who likes to ensnare his foes, and really just a creep in general, Mephiles leaves a trail of darkness (Ball of Tar) behind him, slowing foes and making them easier to line up for an attack. "Why fight at all?"
– NOTES –
Both characters make use of the Character Costume Protector. You’ll see another Shadow 2005 reference when Shadow gains flight!
Please note that these characters were only tested in the Repentance Edition of the game. I cannot vouch for what will happen if you try to use them without it.
