Damn, didn’t expect this video to take off like that. Thanks for all the views n likes everyone! Much appreciated...👌

Shadow's voice will never be as dope as it was in this game.

I can’t imagine this cutscene anymore without hearing Shadow say “You’re a beta male, Sonic.”

As bad as the sound design in this cutscene is, Sonic and Shadow gradually going from walking to jogging to running/skating is fucking beautiful

You never cease to surprise me, blue hedgehog. I thought that capsule you were in exploded in spac-YA KNOW, WHAT CAN I SAY, I DIE HARD

1:07 The slow typing and simplistic "SHADOW" coming on the screen, the camera cut into the slow rotation with Shadow staring straight at Sonic with matching speeds. Not to mention that max in game character running speed starting out. Whoever directed this whole sequence was a genius. Truly iconic.

Not only is this scene incredible but Shadow's running animation is the best ever done here and never got topped.

Shadow:You never cease to surprise me blue hedgehog,I thought that capsule You were in explo- Sonic: YOU KNOW WHAT CAN I SAY, I CUT PEOPLE OFF

This scene is incredible.

"Your adventuring days are coming to an end." THATS WHY WE WON'T GET SA3. (probably) (yeah no this is a stupid theory)

It's almost like they didn't know what sound mixing was, holy shit.

1:34 I love how Sonic basically abandons ship after defeating Shadow.

"I see. But you know, I can't let you live. Your adventuring days are coming to an end." Absolutely badass. Especially considering how it plays so perfectly off of what Sonic just said.

1:07 This part is always so epic to me. Just the raw speed at which there moving is insane.

Sonic: You can't catch me. I'm the fastest thing alive Shadow: I was thinking about why so many of the radical left participate in "speed running" Sonic: Huh? Shadow: The reason is the left's lack of work ethic Sonic: What? Shadow: "Go fast" instead of "Do it right", and in a Petersonian sense Sonic: Petersonian? Shadow: To elevate alternative sexual archetypes in the market place "Fastest Hedghog" Sonic: SHADOW WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT Shadow: You're a beta male, Sonic

"Just a guy that loves adventure" Probably one of the greatest lines in the franchise. It's simple,but basically sums up Sonic's entire character

I love the transition of shadows running into the hovering type skate as they speed up

There is something just... amazing about this scene. Yeah, I know the audio didn't exactly age well. But honestly, it doesn't bother me that much. This is the best interaction between Sonic and Shadow in the series and probably the best interaction between hero and villain in the series, too. There was something special about them both finally reaching (what they thought was) the end. And while I enjoyed their trash talk towards one another back in the prison island level, them now admitting their respect for one another while getting ready to have their final clash gave me chills. And the music, them gradually picking up speed as the conversation goes on, and knowing that the stakes are high on both ends... it just got me so amped up. And say what you will about the cheesy lines in Sonic the Hedgehog, but I think this was some of the best written dialogue on gaming, with just the right amount of cheesiness. SA2 was just something fantastic and this scene is why. Best video game rivalry in my opinion.

People today are like "OMG the sound mixing is bad," but I still think this is one of the most epic final confrontations in video game history.

Quickest battle ever xD The monologue was longer than Shadows survival.

Keanu has a job to do....

Sonic's Tinder Profile- Sonic: 15 "What you see is what you get! Just a guy that loves adventure! I'm 3'3, because apparently that matters. The girl in the pic isn't my girlfriend"

An artificial hedgehog uses the real the emeralds and a real hedgehog uses an artificial emerald. There’s something poetic about that.

"I'll show you the true power of CHAOS CONTROL!” *Dies in 30 seconds*

1:07 chills man

0:38 Honestly I always loved this one line. It cements the idea that all his exchanges with Sonic weren't merely smacktalk... he truly believes that sonic is the fake, and that is leading to genuine confusion.

0:34 - 1:01 Easily one of the most memorable scenes in gaming history. Everything about it is epic.

*Y o u ' r e a b e t a m a l e, S o n i c*

Shadow's coolness, Sonic's warmth, the walking, jogging to running transition and that 1:07 intro Blew my 11-year-old mind. Cheers to you 90s babies - We had it good!

I just get that goku vs vegeta feeling from this. And that's amazing.

1:34 I love how Sonic just kills himself after beating Shadow lmao

"Before this is over.. I'll show you the true power of Chaos control!" I LOVE that delivery lmfao

What?! I can't hear you! The music is too loud!

I don't care how bad this game aged, the story was brilliant, that's really what made this game so amazing, plus the music, stage designs, and of course, Chao World!

Shadow: So there's more to you than just looking like m.. WHY IS THIS MUSIC SO LOUD?!! Sonic: I DON'T KNOW!

That scene in my opinion is the best scene in the entire sonic franchise

I never get tired of the delivery of “before this is over I’ll show you the true power of chaos control!” Which he does in the last story.

I'm just now realizing the symbolism of this scene and the game as a whole: at their first meeting, Sonic felt as if he were staring into a dark mirror of himself, the fake hedgehog. Later, when they met in Green Forest/White Jungle, Shadow turns the tables, accusing Sonic of being the pale reflection of himself, the ultimate lifeform. Finally, we come to this scene, where Sonic has just used Chaos Control to warp out of the exploding capsule with a "fake" Chaos Emerald, a technique he learned by watching Shadow, the "fake hedgehog," perform it with a "real" one. They learn here that neither of them was the faker, and both of them were the real deal. After all, the "fake emerald" was indistinguishable from the real one because it had the same wavelength and properties. Why then couldn't these two ultra-powerful hedgehogs be likewise? Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

this entire cutscene and that fight was amazing

Please let this scene be in the next movie

This will NEVER get old.

“You’re a beta male, Sonic”

THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT SCENE TO REVEAL SHADOW FOR SMASH ULTIMATE.... Edit:..dammit lol

Sorry could you speak up Sonic? The fucking trumpets are too loud!

The way Shadow transitions into skating is so fucking cool

Whoever Paramount picks to voice Shadow BETTER recapture this level of drip💯

The way Shadow just starts to do his running animation in the cutscene makes me feel all nostalgic.

"Shadow what the fuck are you talking about" "You're a beta male sonic"

1:09 This line gave me chills when I played SA2.

"I thought that capsule you were in explode in-" *"YOU KNOW WHAT CAN I SAY, I DIE HARD!"*

Sonic running animation at 1:08 is just pure bliss to me

I love how he beats Shadow and then just bullets to his death and then is instantly back up on the racetrack for the victory screen lol

Who else is here after the post credit since from Sonic 2?

THIS BETTER BE PUT IN THE SONIC 3 MOVIE

Not sure if it was intentional, but I love the eyebrow move Sonic does at 0:32. It just adds to his confidence as a character.

"You're a beta male, Sonic."

Can't wait to see these 2 interrupt each other's dialouge in the next live-action film.

That transitioned into some freaky DBZ sequence real abruptly.

These are the original voices of Sonic and Shadow, the most recent voices have nothing on these guys.

Man, i miss when Sonic games had great stories. Cutscenes like this. I'd love to see an SA2 remaster.

Impossible i am the ultimate life form

Imagine Ben and Keanu pulling this off

Ben Schwartz VS Keanu Reeves

2nd best scene in sonic history right behind when sonic and shadow go super at the end of SA2

The music is so memorable Because it’s the only thing you hear

0:53 The chills, man

This has to be in the 3rd movie

Shadow teaser for movie 3 today, i need this scene in the movie above all else

I HOPE this scene gets remade in the 3rd Sonic The Hedgehog movie.

They better have this scene in the movie, including the interruptions and absurdly loud music!

well,shadow was right, sonics adventuring days are over,and he said this before SA2 was relaesed

*Come back to this when the movie ‘Sonic The Hedgehog 3’ drops, but I have a feeling this iconic scene will be featured in the movie 🔵✅*

This game made Shadow my favorite character, but looking back on it, Sonic was pretty impressive as well. He learned Shadow’s Chaos Control on the first try (with a fake emerald no less) and avoided dying when he was supposed to.

"You're a beta male Sonic"

Story wise Adventure 2 was one of the best Sonic stories. Throughout the game whenever Sonic and Shadow meet Shadow has much higher ground and looks down on Sonic every time because he sees Sonic as beneath him. But as the game progresss Sonic does so much from Escaping prison, defeating The Egg Gollum, getting to the Arc, and even managing to induce a Chaos control at this point when they meet Shadow is standing on equal ground with Sonic and look at him at his level because he sees Sonic as his equal finally. See subtext like that was never in meta era games or even in Dark era games when the stories were really good like Unleashed. Heck even as good as Frontiers story was it didn't have subtext like that.

The voice cast from SA2 was top tier I really miss all them and Shadow's voice specially hasn't been as good since.

"I promised Maria to get revenge." "You're wrong, Shadow. That image playing over and over in your head like a GIF, it's not the truth." "It's pronounced jif" "Huh?" ".GIF, like the peanut butter. The Creator said so." "That's dumb. It's Graphics Interchange Format." "The P in JPEG stands for Photographic, but I bet you don't say JPHEG." "P on it's own isn't pronounced like F, that's totally different." "It's exactly the same!" "Name ONE word that starts with G pronounced like J." "Gentrification." "Shoot, should've thought of that, I was just in San Francisco!" "For your logic to be consistent, you'd have to say "subba" or "laseer'. " "Yeah? Well you'd have to say J-PEJ! ...Wait laser is an acronym?" "Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." "Huh, didn't know that. ...You're still wrong, though." "You just hate me because I'm right." "I just hate you in general." "You mean in *gen-er-al* ." "Ugh, I am *going* to kill you!"

Aside from the music being obnoxiously loud, the dialogue in this scene was all it needed to be for this interaction between arguably 2 of the most iconic rivals in video game history. I don't really consider it cheesy seeing as how Sonic is basically describing himself as a character, whom many have pointed out doesn't really go through any real changes in the first place. Just dull the volume on the BGM a bit, time the characters speaking better so it doesn't feel like they're talking over or interrupting each other, and you have a truely classic scene in Sonic game history that's hard to outdo imo.

This better be in the movie ‼️

"What you see is what you get, just a guy who loves adventure! I'm SONIC ADVENTURE 2!"

0:52 Best Part, Video shows they have a Mutual Respect and when the Music Kick in it shows the Final Battle is about to begin as they Start to Speed Up.

I’ll cry if this is in Sonic 3.

We want this in Sonic 3

"Your adventuring days are coming to an end" He wasn't wrong.

Haha. "For True Story" is one of my favorite songs from SA2 and I like how you jumped off the path after Shadow got knocked out :3 Nice bro ^.^

We are inching ever closer to getting this in the live action movies and man, I hope I'm alive to see it in theaters.

I don't think the music was loud enough during that cutscene

Shadow ♥ Before this is over, I'll show the true power of chaos control!

God if they recreate this in the next Sonic movie, I can die. happy

This scene always gets me because it proves that Tails was able to create a fake Chaos emerald with powers that nearly rival the original. Now imagine he created seven more of those

I randomly just say "what can i say i die hard" and now i know why

i know the sound design is bad, but i've always loved this scene. Something about it is very well done. I think what it is is that the music is used a portrayal between the tension of sonic and shadow, because they BOTH know they did not just come here to meet up to talk. They had to fight, and the fact they both kept picking up pace at the same time with the music shows that they both knew exactly what the other person was thinking. I think this does a very good job and does well showing what rivalry looks like despite the fact they didnt know each other for that long.

Imagine if they get David Humphrey to return as Shadow one last time in the next Sonic film.

If we get this in live action in sonic 3 as well as the opening scene when they clash i will scream

the way the actual fight starts off is so intense i love it!

Sonic 3 The Movie needs to copy and paste this story.

It’s pronounced .Gif, like the peanut butter, the creator said so.

Despite the numerous flaws and embarrassing way this game aged, 1:07 is still the hardest intro to a boss fight Sonic has ever seen.

This scene was so dramatic

"you know what can I say I die hard" Most badass sonic line.
