So I've just watched Sonic 3 and Shadow can teleport without a chaos emerald. Why is that? Will there be no chaos emeralds in the franchise?
That's referred to as the Chaos Snap.
Shadow's capable of doing it in the games as well, without the Chaos Emeralds.
Chaos Snap can be performed for short range teleportation without an Emerald.
He did it in Shadow Generations.
I’ve always found it annoying how his signature abilities require a Chaos Emerald. Can we let him have a weaker version of Chaos Control that just slows time and leaves him exhausted afterwards?
He's always been able to teleport without a Chaos Emerald
Sonic Battle solidified he doesn't need a chaos Emerald to use Chaos Powers.
Read IDW you'll find the same, Reboot as well
What do you think?
