Do You Need to Play Sonic Generations Before Shadow Generations?
Sonic X Shadow Generations tells two similar yet different stories.
How to Get to Silver the Hedgehog
Before you get to this rival battle, you must complete allCrisis City,Rooftop RunandPlanet WispActs. Once you’ve done this, Silver can be located aboveCrisis City, which isn’t much of a coincidence since the battle itself takes place within a highway road of the stage.Modern Sonicis welcomed to the fight by having multiple cars being thrown at him by Silver, which is very nice of him to do.
To avoid vehicles on the road and to collect rings, useQuick Step (LB/RB or L1/R1). Once Silver lifts the debris, perform aHoming Attackon the objects until Sonic reaches him. Home in on Silver and knock him down onto the road, which will give you time to refuel on rings, should you need them. The stage will then shift into a 2D side-scrolling perspective, so limit the amount of boost you use in this next part. Jump over the heap of rubble that Silver will put in front of Sonic, then perform aHoming Attackon him, which will bring the stage back to the 3D perspective.
Once Silver is back in the air, he will continue this cycle of throwing cars and making a heap of rubble until you hit him again. This will launch a new phase of the battle in which Silver will slam three large pieces of debris above Sonic using hisPsychokineticpowers. The perspective will be in 2D, giving you the upper-hand, since the shadows of the objects will be cast on the road. Silver will smash wherever you are positioned, so move accordingly.
Another perspective change will happen and Silver will throw a horizontal and a verticalPsychic Knifeat Sonic, then the battle will shift to the car pile again. Jump on top of the wreckage and aim for Silver by using aHoming Attack. For his last hoorah, Silver will position himself behind Sonic and use his strongest move yet,Meteor Smash, which will be a gigantic ball of debris that he will set behind Sonic as he continues to run. Silver will continue to use objects to hit you, but as soon as you get closer to him, use aHoming Attackto knock him down, leaving him in the wreckage behind.
