1 vs 1 battle, lets say best equipments for both, not magic for Shadow.

I accually had a hard time deciding who should go first for this fight, decided to do the two bad asses from the best of the SNES.

Shadow; I mean, he made it out of the floating continent alive. That has to count for something.

Shadow has the ability to avoid one physical attack(Mirage Shirt) and throw say Illumina.

He kills the poor guy the instant he lands...or the dog does.

Sure, but it's been a while. Even so, that seems like the kind of thing I'd remember.

Really...odd.

Where...seriously is it when he/she is chatting with dog or some scene that's overlooked.(I've gotten all the dreams..and they hint toward Clyde.)

Honestly curious.

Well, I found this, but it doesn't have to do with the ending.

I suppose I'll keep looking.

Yeah I know Xalev's point...hmm will have to fire up SNES.

Because I remember Shadows desingnation being three shurikens, and then talking to the dog.

Hmmm

Well time to dig out SNES.

I just watched the ending thanks to the power of roms, all shadow does is tell interceptor to go, and says to himself:

Baram!
I'm going to stop running.
I'm going to begin all over again...

And doesn't escape, thus dying in kefka's tower.

That could be him addressing his past self.

In any case, Shadow is not female. Some of his flashbacks involve two MEN; Clyde and Baram. How could a female have these flashbacks?

Would have to be an alternate middle.

Are you sure your not thinking Faris from FF5?

Kain jumps. Shadow hits twice. Shadow can't hit what's not there.

Kain -> Jump w/Holy Spear -> Ninja kebab.
The revolution is successful, but survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives means slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered.

You know... it might have been middle... when the group all splits up. It's been YEARS since I played it. (And this was the SNES cart, not the PS version of 6)

Did some research, Shadow is a guy, was a theif, Baram was his aide, something happened, Baram didn't want to go on, and asked Clyde(Shadow) to kill him, Clyde couldn't and thats what he's been running from all his life. And he's the bastard(Relm)'s creator.

OKAY! I know what your thinking Kelly. If you don't save Shadow from the Floating Continent, Relm(or some other chick) is where he would be, but if you do rescue him, they just switched the names and forgot to change the genders on 'she'.
