i think shadow the hedgehog can work and be unironically really cool while using a Real Actual Gun, he just needs to use it alongside normal sonic combat and chaos abilities and other ultimate lifeform powers

like think about it. think about shadow john wicking around, teleporting behind robots when they’ve locked onto him (nothing personnel), throwing a sweep of chaos spears pinning a group of them to the wall, and then using CHAOS CONTROL to stop time and jump up and fucking unload dual wielded machine guns into a really big robot and getting blown back by the recoil as the robot explodes when time resumes and he lands a fucking sick backflip jumping away from it DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY VISION

i never said he wasn’t—you misconstrue me. point that finger at someone else, and i will join you, because this is about the people going “shadow with a gun is too weird and tonally jarring for a sonic game, they were trying to chase trends and it’s too edgy and uncool 🙄 we need to take away his guns for him to work, it doesn’t fit him or the series at ALL” and im like Okay what about executing gerald by firing squad in sa2. what about fuckin maria. hell what about the cop guys that shot at chaos zero. you (general) lack vision you (general) lack creativity this hedgehog has the right to bear arms and it WILL be fucking awesome

honestly shadow the hedgehog using a real ass gun, is very silly but thats also exactly what he should be, he is the ur-edglordsona of the sonic fandom you cant just try and tone that down, the tonal dissonance is exactly him. also give him some fucked up pump action mp5 just for the reference.

YEAH. YEAH. TRUE

ive seen it suggested that like. the pump action on the mp5 is maybe a modified charging handle so he doesn’t have to fiddle with a tiny piece of metal with his big hedgehog hands. i also found an animation where it’s not actually pump action, but instead of fiddling with it he just slides the handle with his whole hand and it still has the general motion of a pump and i think that’s a really smart way to go about it
