    Although you do have a point that nothing is set in stone. Until such a time, we are free to debate the matter.

    Teach himself? A person who doesn't know how to swim can teach themselves without any help from anybody else? No, I find that unlikly.

    Shadow strikes me as the type of hedgehog who would realize that a lack of swimming ability is a handicap and so would probably get swimming lessons to get rid of his weakness.

    Sure, if you think Shadow could ignore his ego long enough to actually ask for help.

    But I just went by the fact that Knuckles and Rouge could swim and the hedgehogs couldn't really. I know they weren't in huge ocean waters like them but then again I doubt the hunters would've drowned if they fell in in a similar fashion like them. They're aren't regular animals after all. But a weakness is still a weakness which is still why Sonic can't swim. Anything pertaining to Shadow hasn't been confirmed yet.
    Shadow's ego isn't that massive. (insert Shadow smily [why don't we have any?])
    Well, it's not like Shadow and pals could get back to the road anyway. The only time that he could was during his fight with Sonic, and as I said he'd get killed anyway.

    I think TFF is right. Shadow may have some ego, but he's smart enough to realize that not being able to swim is a weakness that he could easily overcome.
    Besides, he could always take the approach of "You're going to teach me to swim and if you tell anyone about it I'll make you regret it!"

    Yeah I know this. That's why I said he probably could if he ignored his ego long enough to do it. Read my words over guys.

    I don't know what you mean by he'd get killed anyway TFF. You mean Sonic was going to kill him if he got back out?

    Yeah. Sonic could easily capitalize on the situation. I'm guessing the game makers just saved you the pain of loss.

    Well, it isn't as if Sonic hasn't killed before. I find it a bit hard to believe but I would say it's possible.

    No, it's not that Sonic hasn't killed before (although I don't remember if Sonic actually did kill before that), it's not Shadow would not be able to survive the fight if he fell in the water.

    I think he meant that Sonic's attacks would keep Shadow in the water until he drowned.

    I thought Shadow was immortal. He can't die, meaning he couldn't drown.

    Shadow can die. Just not by natural death I'm assuming.

    Immortal in terms that natural causes, like cancer or heart failure won't affect him. If you threw him in a blender and chopped him into itty bitty pieces....I don't think he'd live through it.

    Explain how Sonic not being able to swim automatically means that Shadow can't?

    Let me reword it. He will probably choose not to swim.
