All I'm really interested in when it comes to multiple playable characters is that they follow the S3K model - everyone plays like Sonic, with slightly varying stats and moves. Shadow is a good place to start because he's already so similar to Sonic and, unlike Knuckles and Tails, doesn't have and signature abilities that would just break the game.

I have no reason to get my hopes up.

I have that to look forward to I guess. Shadow was grossly underutilized in Forces, if they renove him in the next I will be kind of upset.

That would be cool. At this point  hopefully it will be someone in the cast playable other than Sonic and Sonic...

i could see them interpreting people happy about shadow being brought back as a playable character in forces meaning people want him to ride vehicles and use guns/weapons/chaos powers again; and shoehorning all of that into the next game

Honestly I'm fine with Chaos powers as long as they provide interesting platforming experiences.  The idea of a Chaos Control that freezes time can lend itself to that, or one that lets you warp across a space kinda like a teleport special move from Smash Bros.

Not sure about Chaos Blast... hard to think of any way to make that one useful unless they're gonna arbitrarily start using enemy hordes again which just aren't fun.  And if they exist simply to use Chaos Blast on, doing so has no meaning.  But Blast isn't really necessary anyway, it isn't a signature move of his like Control is.

Never thought I'd see people wanting things to be the Sonic and Shadow show again

Hey, it's working for Super :V

Depending on who you ask lol

I'm sure they'll do it in a way that nobody asked for.

I suppose, lol.

The Sonic and Tails show aint shit so I'll take anyone else

The Sonic and Knuckles show is where it's at, fam.

At least Shadow is independent and can handle himself unlike Tails.
