Fun fact: you can get an S rank on every single stage in the game and almost every boss (the exception being Devil Doom) without boosting at all and, for 42 out 52 stages, without using chaos control a single time. I tried it myself and, honestly, it wasn't even troublesome, aside from both acts of radical highway
9:33 isn't accurate. His health doesn't determine when he does that attack- it happens at predetermined points in the fight, with his strikes sequentially building up each time from one to a maximum of four. Once he starts throwing out three strikes, he's vulnerable after dodging them all. After four, the fight loops and he starts from one again. Also, you want to actually hold the attack button instead of mashing after dodging this barrage. You'll get a special Doom Blast against the boss and do a ton of damage.
@@DrRank Was your boostless playthrough recorded substantially before its upload date of Nov 7th? Because I've seen footage of people coming across this way before that, and as early as Oct 26th. Even in your footage, the on-screen prompt is telling you to hold the button. I'm sure this was discovered on day 1... it's easy to miss, but it's not exactly hidden.
This is the hedgehog engine 2, which has shown to have a slower boost, but Shadow here is supposed to be sort of based on Frontiers Sonic, so it makes sense
I testet this my self and yes you can even acquire almost all S Ranks radikal Highway Akt 1 Akt 2 Impossible without glitches and Sunset high. Oh and without doom Wings also Radikal Highway act 1 with those rings you can JUMP in the cabels to Grind down there is a spring wich Guides you to the bulding
Sunset heights is very possible to S rank Also, when you say "glitches", does that include the chaos spear spam tech? Because I was also able to S rank both acts of radical highway and chaos spear spam was the only thing I used that could maybe be considered a glitch. Also, it is possible to S rank act 1 of radical highway without wings!
@cafequente8252 realy ? Inhaber some issuse with them consodering the time i need at the end .. my First attemp was 4.30.80 and i had to get faster for 0.00.86 .. but with 4.25.72 this Thing wanted 43 sekonds more indont know what the hell this Thing want .. and the Chaos Speer "Glitch" Alters Shadow himself im Not shure If this is a Glitch or an Error in calculation for the Speed i have not used this with the boost less Runs. For exemple in space colony ARK when they stomp this is a Glitch because this is Forced by the Player to behave this way the Chaos Speer ist everytime active when used.
@@SonicXVIII so, the reason why the game asked you to be 43 seconds faster on your fastest attempt may be because of your ring count. The game tells how much faster you need to be to get the next rank with your current ring count, but if you manage to grab a lot more, you won't need to be too much faster. You may, for example, have done a damageless run on your 4:30:80 attempt, but then lost some rings or didn't collect as many on your 4:25:72 attempt
@cafequente8252 the Joke from the Game with the longer Run inhad less rings .. with the shorter one more The longer was 0 Rings because of death Clipet through the Road .. the shorter one was aroind 300 to 340 Rings ..
Instead of not using the boost button or consuming the boost gauge, it should be “Don’t let Shadow have a boost aura around him”, so you can still use the Doom wings
1:26 Heeeeey, Shadow! Its me, The DEVIL! I'm here to convince you to do sin!
I personally think that I am the only person that has an australian copy of sonic x shadow generations for switch

"Cowards boost, I run."
When you put all your years of video game platformer skills to the test
Amazing work as always! You're a beast!!
Dr. Rank is the Ultimate Lifeform 😎
1:25 nice reference
6:29 Welcome to Tilted Towers💀
The funniest Fortnite reference I've seen all day
6:27 and he is part lizard
Who’s your favorite sonic character, by the way? You can make a top 3 if you want.
@@jordy872 Gamma is my favourite, followed by Tails and Omega.

@@Seiyol The latter point was not discovered until after I had finished recording.

tbh the boost in this game looks more like a run button
Probably bc its a bit slower than other boost games but id def say its better than the run button in sonic lost world lol actually way better

what about chaos control
Neat

I play the game this way anyways because I hate the boost animation.
Cowards boost, i RUN.
