Yeah, that Rival Battle is actually where most of my inspiration is coming from. I'm taking that concept, and tweaking it in such a way that Shadow doesn't play exactly like a Sonic clone. I can't really draw from the version of Chaos Spear featured in that battle, as it would prove to be completely useless in gameplay on other stages. I want to implement the Chaos Spear, along with Chaos Control and maybe Chaos Blast into Shadow's main gameplay, and still make him harder to play than Sonic.
