i know a lot of people really really hate sonic 06 (and for good reason sometimes) but i personally think it was the BEST writing they've ever done of Shadow. obviously sa2 shadow is the absolute best and they'll never top that, but 06 shadow was *chef's kiss*. i really dislike how they've been writing him in more recent stuff, basically watering him down to just an edgelord who doesnt listen to anybody, but hopefully he's better in the new game.
also i don't like kirk thornton as shadow's voice lol. he tends to sound really annoying to me and i miss jason griffith SO MUCH it's ridiculous
