*Supporting Me* Arrangement by: Heigo Tani / Fumi Kumatani Lyrics by: Fumie Kumatani (translated by Shinobu Shindo) Vocals: Everett Bradley *Lyrics:* I'm gonna be desperate Never Lose... Hurry... Never Lose... Hurry I believe in my future, farewell to the shadow, It was my place to live, but now I need your hand. Lead me out with your light, I have breathed in, The disgusting air of darkness, but I never lose out to the pressure. Everything's just like, An illusion, I'll be losing you, before long. Never Lose... Hurry... Never Lose I never lose my confidence, I know you are supporting me, Supporting me... supporting me... I'll be losing you before long.

There’s such a darkness to this song that no other Sonic track can compare to. But honestly it really fits. The horror of project shadow and the idea of fighting a failed experiment you can barely call a living thing hooked up to life support, you can feel that disturbing aura in the background music alone. Easily my favorite track associated with Shadow.

SA2 was about a revenge game carried out by Shadow and Gerald Robotnik, 2 people who lost everything because of a single mistake a soldier made. Shadow's memories were altered by Gerald so that when the time came, he wouldnt second guess his motives for revenge. The ONLY reason Shadow had a change of heart was because of what Amy said to Shadow triggering his real memories that Maria wanted Shadow to protect mankind as that was his purpose, despite the origin leading to his creation. SA2 was never about Shadow specifically, it was about loss and revenge and learning to let go of the past.

For those wondering why you went from a giant lizard to a small hedgehog...the reason is that the Biolizard grew continuously. Mammals stop growing after a certain point. Yes, there's also the fact that Gerald may have been inspired by the Hidden Palace Mural. Though I say that's the reason he chose a Hedgehog instead of say, a Fox.

@thegeth4293

Жыл бұрын

Hidden palace and the mural in SA1 are 2 different temples. He probably learned of the echinda tribes, found the first temple and its mural of perfect chaos, and made the biolizard based on it, when it failed, he kept searching, found hidden palace and its mural of super sonic, and based shadow off of that.

This theme represent how a intense boss fight should be thematically and narratively The Biolizard represent pessimism; it carries the false delusional will of Prof. Gerald, a tool of revenge. It doesn't have a will of its own it was engineer as a vessel of revenge, which syndicates Gerald's insanity of wanting revenge against humanity who took maria and his colleagues from him. He became nothing but a husk of his former self, only driven by anger, pain and despair. The Biolizard was a failed experiment not only because of the poor life system but it symbolize Gerald's failure. Shadow represent Optimism: He was created with a soul and he's the embodiment of Maria's dying will to protect humanity. He was seeking a purpose in his life; he thought he was carrying Gerald's wish, but instead his real purpose was to keep humanity happy even if they're against him. Shadow is a guardian, willing to fulfill maria's promise and everyone's wishes of a better tomorrow.

Honestly this is probably the closest sonic will ever get to a T or M rating without being shadow the hedgehog. Nobody realizes how unsettling and creepy this giant thing is. It’s unfinished, a prototype left to rot. The fact it has a lack of legs and eyes and just flops to the floor after it’s entrance as it shuffles it’s way to shadow in the fight adds on to the fact it needs a life support machine to even survive. And also it’s silent roar just sold it to me. I know this is probably unintentional, It’s voice box can’t even make noise unless it’s in pain (when you hit it).

But he WILL destroy his disgusting excuse for a brother, and he won’t lose his confidence. Because the thought still emerges somewhere deep in his soul. “Maria... I know you’re supporting me.”

Shadow was a true hero. Everything he did was all for Maria and nobody else. He isn't this edge lord everyone misinterprets him to be because of how selfless he is. I mean sure he tends to be condescending sometimes but his actions are heroic.

The Biolizard creeped me the hell out as a child. Heck “it” still does considering it’s backstory of being a failed experiment, barely clinging to life due to the life support on it’s back. And purely being a pawn for Gerald’s vengeance against humanity. Just an means to an end, easily discarded after it’s fulfilled it’s final purpose.

I’ll never forget my first run in with this monster. 2am on a school night, in a pitch black room I hit start on the final story and felt a overwhelming sense of determination and confidence. I forgot about being a kid, I forgot about egg man being a bad guy. I just saw Heroes making a final rush to save the world. Then I reached that room. I saw the shrine and remember gritting my teeth. Then the lizard showed up. I barely heard the door click open behind me as shadow came walking in. I felt like I was being watched but hearing the Bio-Lizard roar snapped my attention back to the screen. What followed was admittedly a silly but intense fight. At that point I was feeling the pressure to perform not only as shadow but as myself. I was scared.. scared of failing my at the times heroes and scared of turning around to see a disappointed and upset parental figure. After the fight was said and done I didn’t turn around. I settled in and pushed on to final hazard. Watching the pair go super filled me with renewed hope and then the theme kicked in. The fight was over pretty fast but the ending left me sad. That’s when I turned around to see an understanding grandfather then sat down with me and explained that sometimes being a hero is being willing to make a sacrifice. I’m glad my grandpa let me finish that fight, I’m glad he was there to explain these concepts to me, I’m glad he was there to support me.

Can't blame him, It's a fight between two ultimate lifeforms, shadow had just turned back to the good side, this music is haunting and beautiful, symbolizing not only maria's spirit and shadow's link, but also the biolizards life support system which the player needs to attack. And the boss is long and not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.

You are right, man I tell you, *SEGA* 's community is so smart, I mean, it didn't take me long to figure out the control inputs for the Xbox 360, didn't take me long to figure out the super bounce, and I know what causes the super bounce: The Super Bounce is caused by spindashing into the wall and right before you touch the wall, you jump and very quickly use the Bounce Attack, then your Speed Momentum gets turned into your Jump Momentum, which causes you to bounce very high, that is called the "Super Bounce". Your welcome for the explanation.

this is perfect synchronicity of a soundtrack with the gameplay: the start and buildup as the cutscene plays out, the bass drop as the player is given control, the muffled "im gonna be desperate" as the player starts moving both ways and realizes hes trapped the supporting guitar riff and erie melody come in as this ugly lizard starts trying to bite you, the fight's on the main lyrics come in as the player settles into the dance with the lizard the lizard pauses and gives a rail to grind as "to the pressure" becomes clear with the live and learn melody starts the main beat returns for another round of dancing with the lizard "i never loose my confidence" and "i know your supporting me" come forth as the player has grasped the tempo of the boss fight. thats why the track is so memorable, its paced perfectly for what your doing

Our boy got screwed by not appearing in Sonic Forces even though they remixed his theme song, but now it's his time to shine again.

Damn, comparing this game's Story, Voice acting and writing to Colors, Gens, Lost World and Forces really shows how much Critics and "fans" Scared Sega's butt to a point where they just started to make Sonic more and more kid friendly instead of Family friendly like it used to be. People were praising Colors for Returning to "roots" of the classic games back then when it comes to Writing and tone but like, did they forgot the manuels for the classic games? I'd even argue that Sonic 3 had more darker and complex tone then the entire 2010's era of Sonic ffs. I swear, if Frontiers doesn't have a complex story and good writing like the Adventure games or Sonic 3, then I'll riot fr. Don't let us down Ian.

By nostalgia rule, the genesis era kids were the ones with money and demanded it returned to that era. Now it's the dreamcast era that feels nostalgia. Frankly I was a bit torn between the two, I knew Sonic's story would stop mattering too much about narrative progression if they refused to age the characters to leave them as atemporal mascots. But after seeing what they did to Shadow in Sonic Boom my mind was set, such a disappointing flanderization. The movies have the chance to retell the story even better than the SA2 did, I hope they don't waste it.

Just a fun Eggman Taking over the world plot only to have it shadowed by this Lovecraftian cataclysmic event that he just played into and everyone teams up to stop the actual very serious threat. Along with the gameplay just being a simple speed-focused platformer. I think that'd go over well across the board. I mean....We know it works already. Its why a strong portion of that fanbase likes SA2.

I hope bringing in Ian Flynn does wonders for Frontiers' writing. I honest to god don't know HOW Pontac and Graff stayed as Writers for almost a decade when they clearly, and bluntly have admitted, to not knowing a damn thing about Sonic. I know the 2000s games are a mixed bag, but I liked the tone of most of those Games over anything in the 2010s/Meta Era, and I largely blame Colors for creating a problem we didn't need.

2:08 This is definitely the sound of someone fighting the turmoil against themselves. You can practically feel that Shadow's on the edge with a head full of sad memories with Maria being the very thin thread that's holding him together.

Its so sad to think about how they made shadow die in the last sonic game on the last Sega console. Sometimes I wonder if they intended to go out with a bang, knowing this might be the last sonic related game they ever get to make. This story is dark and the characterization is top notch; I feel like shadow was a great way to finish off the franchise, if it had been the end. Whenever I listen to this song that comes to mind, it gives me chills "I'll be losing you before long".

But Shadow didn't die in the end. He survived due to one of Eggman's robots saving him, Rouge found him in a stasis pod in one of Eggman's bases at the start of Heroes. Shadow's game confirms that its the real Shadow we've been playing as and not an android copy if you hang around long enough during the final battle and listen to Eggman.

I think Shadow must have been dissociating (from his feelings) so hard during this fight. I mean, he wakes up from a 50 year induced coma after losing everything (including his memories) in an extremely traumatic event, helps a familiar face activate a doomsday weapon in a misguided attempt at understanding his past identity (all while doubting himself, i'm pretty sure), gets several earth shattering revelations in the span of like one hour, realizes that what he is doing is the complete opposite of what he needed to do, and now this?! I can't even begin to imagine how he must be feeling, this is so fucked up on so many levels. Also depending on when he got frozen, Shadow could also still be the mental age of a teenager. (Also, personally i think the lyrics to the song are a mirror to what Shadow is feeling. I don't know who he would be singing to but it seems to fit either way.)

So it’s a matter of support from a living being and support from a machine.

Who here is looking forward to hearing a fourth rendition of Supporting Me for Sonic X Shadow Generations?

One of the best Sonic songs of all time.

The ‘disgusting air of darkness’ that Shadow ‘breathed in’ was because he thought Maria begged Shadow to take revenge on humanity, but she didn’t want that at all. What Maria actually said was to help everyone on earth and to give them a chance to be happy, so then he rushes off to the cannon’s core to catch up with Sonic and Knuckles who make their way to the shrine, but the Bio Lizard warps out of Chaos Control and blocks their path. Shadow arrives to provide a distraction, to give Sonic & Knuckles time to head to the shrine. As ‘farewell to the shadow, Shadow must battle the Bio Lizard with Maria’s light leading him out, as in the words ‘Lead me out with your light’.

This boss fight is gonna go SO HARD IN SONIC GENERATIONS REMAKE!!!

That concept art... Dude, if Biolizard will be on the third movie they better put this soundtrack if Shadow fights him

We're so back

Man, this is why I loved Sonic all this years. This is what the meta era should been like. The shows how much passion was put into this game

This song is an encapsulation of desperation, maybe even hope. The ARK is slowly falling out of orbit and will crash into the Earth in mere minutes, there is no time to waste. Amy notices that Shadow is not helping any of the others because his mission he was supposed to carry out has been accomplished. Now the world will feel how Dr. Gerald Robotnik felt when he heard about the tragedy of his granddaughter, Maria. Amy reminds him that Maria’s wish was not to avenge her, she only wanted humans to have a chance to be happy. Shadow then remembers what Maria’s final words to him were: ”Give them a chance to be happy...” Shadow is now going to go and fulfill Maria’s wish and scampers to go and help Sonic and Knuckles as they make their way to the core of the ARK. As Sonic and Knuckles make their way to the core, the Prototype of the Ultimate Life Form appears out of thin air. Shadow arrives in time to stop the Biolizard. The ARK is just a couple of minutes away from entering the atmosphere before it's too late. The world is at stake and two hedgehogs are the only ones who will prevent that from happening. There is still hope.
