I have no idea. I stopped watching RWBY after volume 3.

Yeah its kinda...not so great. Shadow in comparison is the better experience.

Shadow the hedgehog the game traumatized me as a kid when I did the neutral ending first and Shadow just fucking kills Eggman.

And you see it in the first person.

Sonic lore revealed: Darkspine Sonic was Kishimoto's idea. It doesnt appears to have been inspired by Sonic X Dark Super Sonic.

[up][up][up] Yeah, you know things are bleak in RWBY when Shadow is lighthearted by comparison. Fucking Shadow the Hedgehog is more optimistic. At least Shadow has lines like “Damn, not here!”, “No! Not Shadow Fever!”, “Where’s that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald!” “You know what they say! The more the merrier!”, “FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM!” “This is like taking candy from a baby! Which is fine by me!” and “Help! We’re being sucked in!” You can laugh at Shadow for how much it’s trying to be serious. RWBY…you can’t. I think even ‘06 looks lighthearted compared to Volume 9.

A lot of the goofy lines of Shadow 05 (like "like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me") are only lines that exist in the English dub. The original Japanese dub is, while still fundamentally flawed due to the story structure, a lot less tryhard edgy (... outside of that intro cutscene).

[up]Even in Japanese, though, there’s still Shadow wielding a giant gattling gun, and the Egg Dealer.

Oh and the song “Almost Dead”.

As someone who stopped watching RWBY after 6 seasons, what I'm reading about season 9 does sound edgy in a way Shadow the Hedgehog wasn't, but mainly because it sounds like a laughable attempt at adding tension and mature subject matter.

It probably helps that, at face value and when broken down into its core components, Shadow the Hedgehog is still an edgy, serious story quest for identity/revenge/blood...that starts a cartoon hedgehog many would consider "cute." The opening cutscene features a cartoon hedgehog somehow cocking the handguard of an MP 5.

Other plus point in shadow's favour is no Jaune.

the only plus point that Volume 9 has in its favor is Blake and Yang finally kissing.

all this talk is making me think of what would happen if Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Jaune encountered Sonic, Shadow, and The Chaotix.

prolly with misery poker as at least Eggman isn't as seemingly grimdark as Salem , V9!Neo and the Cat. Then Sonic brings up various incidents like Eggman kidnapping his friends and petryfying them in a void beyond time, taking over Earth using a magic gaslighting rock, and of course creating a techno organic zombie apocalypse.

and then the blue blur revelas that his world does have an immortal envoy of darkness and despair on top.

Sonic can also mention how Eggman held the world hostage with a space station multiple times, captured an entire planet (CD), and then Sonic mentions how Eggman almost blew him up and how Erazor Djinn almost killed him.

And then Shadow brings up Maria ( and Yang can relate here) and how he’s part alien.

And Weiss, Blake, and Yang would ask Sonic how he can be so chipper after all that.

I stopped watching RWBY a while ago, but I've been seeing clips of Volume 9 and its still just as laughably trite as ever.

On top of some icky messages. Also imagine Sonic casually telling his new...meetings that this one time Robotnik held a special race to see who's fastest.

I played Noisestorm's new game Crab Champions earlier today. The colorful-animal-with-semi-realistic-guns aesthetic, third-person shooting, air dashing, and occasional parkour levels give me some Shadow game vibes. It's quite fun if you're into horde shooters. If someone made a Shadow or Black Arms skin for the crab, I'd be all up ons.

[up][up] what about Sonic telling his new acquaintances about the time he became King Arthur…and having to explain to them who he is?

I was also gonna make a joke about ‘06 but I don’t know if WBY would actually react to Sonic getting kissed by Elise. Though they’d be disgusted that she kissed him while he was still dead.

So I found a sale for Sonic Mania.

Is it recommendable for someone who's abysmal at 2D games?

If you're admitting to not being good at 2D games, then I wouldn't even bother.

Mania is more built for people who are into old 2D games. If you aren’t into them, Mania is not for you.

Side note: I FOUND THE COMPUTER ROOM.

Cosmic Fall is a hard level.

EDIT:…I still can’t believe I actually said that I was playing SHADOW as a comfort game today. Especially in response to RWBY of all things.
