Shadow moves

[Indy11]

Is there a way I can change the shadow combo color/style to the way it used to be? I saw videos online and the shadow combos are the way they used to be in the original arcade game. Now they are purple.

Nope, its part of the lore of the game.

Shadow energy is canon purple, so to keep up consistency all shadow stuff was recolored to match.

I'd still like to have a switch (like we have for announcers) for shadow effects and color bars separately. Heck, maybe the season 1 or 2 blue-ish or even the gray/dark classic motion.

Too bad that the game has been discontinued.

What arcade game are you referring to ? Pretty sure the 1995 arcade game had no shadow moves, only combos.

If you played the 1995 arcade game, you could sometimes see the CPU perform shadow moves, the ones in gray matter. This footage features many of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GINROY9G4DE

The most frequently used ones by the CPU are Riptor's.

Edit: here's from a FAQ (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588419-killer-instinct/faqs/562)

* Power UP *

The Power up bar is the white flashing vertical bar in your health bar.
This means you will be able to do many more devastating moves such as
the Shadow moves and Triple projectiles. Most times the bar is powered
up by doing a combo breaker. Sabrewulf can get it by doing his Energy Howl,
and Spinal can get it by obtaining skulls. If the bar is NOT flashing, then
you are not powered up.
