== Moveset ==
Attack 	Image	Description 	
 	 	Uses Shadow Guard, creating a growing field of chaos energy that directly damages opponents. 	3%
Side attack	 	Uses Chaos Upper, where he swings his arm and conjures a ball of chaos energy from his fist. 	3%
Down attack	 	Uses Chaos Magic, closing his eyes and snapping his fingers, which creates a small explosion of chaos energy. 	5%
Up attack 	 	Uses Shadow Kick, throwing out a high kick. 	4%
 	 	Uses Chaos Magic midair. The attack behaves differently from his down attack, however. For instance, the ensuing explosion of chaos energy is not visible (only the initial orange spark is). Also, an invisible projectile gets fired straight down, with a considerable long range. This is the only projectile Shadow possesses and the fact that it is invisible makes it unique among other projectiles in the game.	4%
