Shadow Generations & STH 2006 - Vs. Mephiles (Original Vs Remake Comparison)

So, last time, we compared the old boss battle with the Biolizard to its new version. The next one was supposed to be Metal Overlord, but I suggest skipping it for now and moving on to something more interesting.
Let’s take a look at how the boss battle with Mephiles has changed after 18 years and what references the new version draws from Sonic The Hedgehog 2006.
--------
00:00 - Pre-Mephiles Phase 2 Cutscene (Sonic The Hedgehog 2006)
00:20 - Vs. Mephiles Intro (Shadow Generations) (w/references)
00:51 - proof why shadow is better than sonic :)
00:58 - Vs. Mephiles Intro (Shadow Generations & Sonic The Hedgehog 2006)
01:03 - Vs. Mephiles Boss Fight (Original and Remake comparison)
01:10 - "Drown in darkness!" (Original)
01:15 - "Drown in darkness!" (Remake)
01:48 - Shadow punches Mephiles (original and remake)
02:02 - Dialogue References
02:19 - Vs. Mephiles (Old vs New) (and more references)
05:18 - Mephiles Defeated (Original and Remake)
(only in the old version it is not so)
05:49 - Rank Animations (Original vs Remake) (B)

0:51 "proof why shadow is better than sonic"

LMAO

[Unlimitted]

Poor Mephiles in his last dialogue shows that he only wants canon in history

[verdadeirojoaovitor]

I still wish Shadow would use chaos boost in this fight

[delinquentlord]

I love all refs to the old sonic games is what makes Sonic x Shadow generations good

[lasernick]

Which version of the battle with Mephiles (and him himself) do you like better?

[Digital_Version_of_God]

The reason he lose is bc of he didn't got any kind of Chaos Emerald, and lose the power as Solaris it dosen't even exist anymore

[TJZ]

The fact that we can realistically see Mephilis making it into the Sonic movie universe in the future is just beautiful 🥹

[mreverything]

Hmmm, let’s see the comparison

06: Mash the X button on easy to kill enemies, use chaos boost, mash the X button on easy to kill Mephiles. Static animations and no flare.

Generations: Dodge attacks in slow goop, use doom squid, use chaos spears, doom squid platforming, doom squid against big guy. Lots more expressive animations, a phase change animation, and an ending sequence with chaos control.

Yeah I think I see a clear winner here

[bradycicchini]

I was able to get an S rank on Hard mode Mephiles. 2 min 20 seconds. The no rings barely made a difference.
Still a great boss fight

[Bluestar]

I always like the fact that when Shadows glows red, Mephiles can no longer hide Shadows, shadow. Chaos Boost was cool, but I guess there was no way to fit it in Shadow Generations.

[verdadeirojoaovitor]

In gameplay this Boss fight is much better than the two from 2006. But in personality, this Mephiles from x Shadow generations doesn't even come close to being as threatening as the one from 2006. He lost like a coward.And he still has a ridiculous voice. (Dan Green was totally missed)

[ColorWorld-is]

Omg I love Shadow thank you for making this video

[doctorwhooves]

Honestly, it took me until this video to notice how close the new voice for Mephiles was compared to the original. It's *very* close, but Dan Green still does it better.

Of course I choose the original. The best game of Sonic Team
