Shadow's popularity really confuses me. Do people like him (evidenced by things like how much demand there was for him in Brawl, how excited fans were when he was shown to be an assist trophy, how well-received it was when Syntax Error hacked Sonic into him, how crushed they were when Syntax Error closed, how high the demand for him was following, how angry people were when Androu unveiled Shadowchu, and how pleased they were when Elite Smash Hackers put out their HEDHEOG) or not (evidenced by pretty much everything else on the Internet)? Maybe I'm in a peculiar crowd...
