Y’all hear me out.
If that rumored Knuckles and Shadow SCU spinoff does come to fruition, Mephiles would be the perfect choice for antagonist. He already has ties to Shadow as he could still take his form and Knuckles is the vessel for Iblis.
Mephiles could very well manipulate Shadow into going after Knuckles. SCU seems more prone to manipulation, especially since now he’s at a time in his life where he’s lost and doesn’t quite know where to go.
Mephiles is the perfect choice for this.
