Shadow

The Ultimate Lifeform joins Rivals Of Aether, with his Chaos powers at his side!

Shadow’s gimmick is Chaos Boost, which allows him to expend Chaos energy, obtained by attacking the opponent, to boost his Chaos-type attacks. You can do that by pressing the special button during their startup (attack for specials). Chaos-Type attacks are the attacks with a pink energy effect and the special moves. Strongs take twice the energy of other moves to boost.

There are many tricks hidden around this character, so make sure to explore the limit of his moves and what can be done with them!

A brief overview of the special moves:

Nspecial: Chaos Arrow/Spear/Lance
Shadow charges a projectile of chaos energy, then launches it at the opponent. The projectie that comes out depends on the amount of charge, with Arrow being the weakest and Lance the strongest. Boosting this move immediately fires a Chaos Lance.
Fspecial: Chaos Attack
Shadow spins and launches into an opponent at the input angle. If the attack hits, Shadow will quickly launch into a barrage of attacks. However, he is very vulnerable to opponents’ hits in his spin attack, and he can only perform this move once per airtime, so be careful. Boosting this move increases the distance traveled, damage and knockback dealt
Dspecial: Chaos Control (Flight)
Shadow briefly charges his energy, then launches forward in an invincible dash. Inputting attack during the dash automatically buffers a faster dash attack. As this move takes a lot of power, it has a long cooldown signified by his meter HUD dimming. Boosting this move greatly lessens the amount of time it takes, but disables the faster dash attack. Note that boosting this moves prevents you from boosting uspecial until you land.
Uspecial: Chaos Snap
Shadow teleports in the direction held by the joystick. Boosting this move causes him to teleport twice. Note that this move can only be boosted once per airtime, even if Shadow was hit after boosting it.
