Extra Abilities for Shadow! v1.4.6

It would be possible to improve the HUD a little and add other tricks

Amazing mod, but the chaos control breaks with the OpenGL rendererer, I never get to use it because you don't get enough chaos energy from enemies (take SXSG for an example, you get most of the bar from 1 enemy), and it doesn't stop the timer
I also have a recommendation: the chaos spear and blast should us a .5 cooldown with no HUD, and also use chaos energy.

I really need to know to to use chaos control

It's a great mod, but I've got some bug reports and some recommendations.

Bugs:
1. Boost on controller feels more like the Frontiers spindash. I have to press spin while boosting to disable drift every time I boost.
2. 70% of the time Chaos Spear denies to lock on.

Now for recommendations:
1. Make a HUD for it because it feels kinda lifeless with the current HUD for it.
2. Make drift an option.
3. Make the trick system feel more alive because just like the HUD, it feels lifeless. Make it more like Modern Sonic or XMomentum.

Other than those, great mod. (I'll report more bugs if I find any more. I'll also put up more recommendations if I think of any more )

Wow, I hadn't used this Addon for a while, and I was surprised by the new additions. Chaos Control and Air Tricks look really cool, and you fixed a lot of the bugs and issues!

The only thing that surprised me during my gameplay was that I couldn't use those Balls from the Red Volcano Zone, as Shadow doesn't gain speed while he's on top of them. But other than that, what you added, corrected and added again, it's perfect!

Again, if you want a suggestion, it would be interesting for reduced cooldowns if Shadow is in his Super form. Like, Chaos Spear and Chaos Blast having a shorter cooldown, and Chaos Control lasting longer in Super Form. Because Shadow's only ability that I see changes when he is transformed is the Boost, which becomes infinite and faster.

Good new update! I forgot some things in my last review. If you want to make the boost more traditional (like Modern Sonic) then rings should be magnetic when boosting. Just a suggestion though. The chaos spear is a great improvement. Although, it's still kinda slow with the cool down. (Not tryna to sound picky btw) Its just that it's kinda slow to consistently shoot chaos spears. But it's a great improvement.

An amazing mod. But I've got some problems with it. Canonically, Shadow's boost is yellow, not red (you don't have to change it, I'm just saying.) The chaos spear is basically useless with it's huge cool down and it doesn't track enemies either. The chaos spear sound clip is broken when used in mid air, and when using chaos spear while on the ground, Shadow fires it out of his torso, which is odd.

Bro, you've been updating the mod quite a bit, that's peak

Great mod! I just think the info on the HUD - boost gauge and chaos abilities cooldown - leaves the screen too polluted. Is there a way to remove them? A command or something?

Epic mod

This addon is excellent! I really liked the new additions, and I was surprised that no one had done something as solid as this, and adding Shadow's classic abilities in a fun way.

My criticisms.

But in the meantime, I have some criticisms, such as the huge Cooldown of the Chaos Spear that ends up making it not so usable, mainly the range that Shadow has to aim at enemies with the attack. Another thing that I think could be revised is Shadow's super form, since in it, Shadow can freely release Chaos Spears through the air, but the Chaos Spear from the ground still has a high cooldown for some reason. Other than that, Chaos Blast and Boost are excellent additions, but I also noticed that there are some bugs in Boost, as you can use it even after you've already passed the sign at the end of the level. Something similar happens with the Chaos Spear in that Shadow can use it while on that rail cart, and even in the Singleplayer Special Stages, something that doesn't happen with Chaos Blast and Boost for example. The skill buttons could also be changed, with Boost being for Custom 1, and Chaos Spear for Custom 2.

Even with these problems, I still consider it an excellent addon, and the bugs didn't really interfered with my gameplay how much I expected, to be honest.

If you want a suggestion, something that would be cool for the Addon would be the addition of Chaos Control, in this case that Shadow ability where he can stop time for a certain period. Because it is so powerful, it would work better as something exclusive to Super Form, perhaps.

Pretty OK expansion to Shadow's moveset. Chaos Spear is a good addition, but because it doesn't shoot homily to the any object (enemies, monitors, etc.), this ability is kinda hard to use. Boost is also good as idea, but implementation is kinda TOO simple for gameplay, you can activate this at any time and boost gauge is really long to drain out.
Maaaybe some boost mode like Blaze have could fit much better and can be a bit more fun to play.
