This is an inverted case in this specific case, though I admit my bias and my Mileage didn’t varied with this example as I've showed; I've personally think this could've been different case since Reginaldo's deeper voice perfectly fits Shadow and is more well known amongst Sonic fans, Reynaldo to me personally sounding like someone trying to do an edgelord type voice. It’s an Every Man tone that just doesn’t really fit Shadow in the brazilian dub and this isn’t the first time this had happened.
Another example that is out of Sonic, was Wendel Bezerra who is Goku's voice in Brasil, he also voiced most of Robert Pattison's role Twilight onwards, he told on an interview that that was the reason he was picked to VD Pattison on The Batman (2022), the entire time I couldn’t help but imagine Goku Black talking.
He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.Just finished the final boss on the TFH DLC. Annoyingly, I had to drop down to Easy to do it. I kept getting to the final section on Normal and Hard, but at some points it wasn't clear what I needed to do and I kept running out of rings and having to restart.
But, that's another game off the backlog finished (twice, now), so now it's time for Travis Strikes Again and No More Heroes 3. For the most part I've been able to avoid important spoilers for these last couple years.
Just gonna randomly post this clip of the All Hail Shadow part of the song that plays when Shadow has his final showdown with Mephiles.
If people still said this is the bees knees that's what I would say.
One Strip! One Strip!I actually knew about this one.
I listened to it after finding my video.
In fact, I think I might have posted it before.
One Strip! One Strip!Man all songs in orchestral versions sound way more epic
He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.Man, some of these Special Koko just aren't worth the effort. I tried way too long to get the one above stage 1-7 on Kronos Island. (The one where you have a big section of tiny floating boxes, many of them with spikes on top, and you have to keep pushing switches and collecting the 10 Ring pickups that appear)
Iizuka out here asserting that Shadow isnt supposed to be Vegeta
again, despite previous evidence to the contrary.
Def one of the reasons we’ve had so many conflicting interpretations of the character post Maekawa

Someone doesn't really know shit about Vegeta. Or Dragon Ball, for that matter. Justice has never been a big part of the series, and especially not for Vegeta.
Also, pretty sure Vegeta would throw things if you suggested that he and Goku are friends.

I would say it's more that it's complicated.
Goku isn't Superman but one of the first lessons he was taught by Master Roshi (and it was played completely straight) was "It's your duty as a martial artist to stop someone if they are ever committing injustice."
To bring it back to Shadow, he's relationship with Sonic after Adventure 2 has varied a bit. The key thing is how intensely they take their rivalry (more cordial and fun in Heroes versus serious business in Shadow the Hedgehog). But, Shadow pretty consistently is ok with teaming up the Sonic, saving the world together, and hanging out. He's just kind of aloof and would prefer to hangout with his own crew.

I'd say Vegeta swings a little closer to fighting for justice than Goku does. Post Buu, at least. Little things like wanting to use the Dragon Balls to save Universe 6 and such.
Even then, though, the characters of DB are typically pretty selfishly oriented.

I for one definitely see where Iizuka's coming from. Maybe he's stressed out by all the reductive protrayals of Shadow literally just copypasting him into Vegeta, the ones where people just only think of characters in terms of other characters and decide that, because Shadow's int he role of "RIVAL", he MUST be like Vegeta from head to toe and not his own thing. Inspired by, sure, as a jumping on point for something else, yeah. But exact copy? NO. Try again. I know I'm tired of that.
You get the good ending in all versions of Sonic CD if you get the Time Stones while ignoring the robot teleporters. I've done that before on Gems Collection.
Are explosions science?Definitely a guy who doesn’t read dragon ball despite the irony of the series having lot of similarities, Vegeta does not fight for justice he fights out of Saiyan pride purely, he's the typical Royal Brat who actually does stuff and hates when Someone's better than him.

He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.Vegeta fights for himself moreso than Saiyan pride. He doesn't actually care about the Saiyans as a race until well into his character arc, and generally just sees them as an enabling factor for his own success. A nationalist, not a patriot.
"I am the greatest in the universe, and the Saiyans are great because they produced me, but must only ever be a pale reflection of my greatness."
But I don't want to take over this thread. I did a whole breakdown of Vegeta's relationship to his Saiyanhood with receipts here
. Suffice it to say, he's really just a surly egotist who, post-development, is honestly more of an Earthling than he ever was a Saiyan.
In any case, like all of Sonic's inspirations from Dragon Ball, the comparison between Shadow and Vegeta breaks down if you point the microscope too close because nothing in Sonic is a direct carbon-copy of the thing it's borrowing. Super Sonic is mechanically very different from Super Saiyan too. But. Like. We all know what that's supposed to be. We're not stupid.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.That said I gotta point something out, its something I gotta get off my chest.
The awesome moment page for Sonic 06 claims Shadow saved Sonic from Silver out of some classic Vegeta-esque The Only One Allowed to Defeat You thing and...umm...
I played the game. Like, if its the train yard boss fight, then such an idea or what not is...
Its not said. Not implied. Not even remotely hinted at. Its just...not there. Are we just making assumptions? The most we get is Shadow more or less wondering what Silver's problem is. Like where the hell did people get this idea from?
Are explosions science?Probably. Subjective areas of the wiki are rife with interpretations and headcanons stated as fact.

Generally speaking, most actors when dubbed will have a specific actor consistently dubbing their work. After all, moviegoers in dubbed movies want to hear the voice that they associate the actor with, even if that's not their real voice but the dubber.
That's why when a movie where real actors and animated characters are involved, like Sonic or Detective Pikachu, the translated trailer will still advertise the original actor voicing the animated character, even though that actor never appears on-screen and technically has no presence whatsoever in the dubbed movie.
