I wouldn't call Shadow useless, but he did his job and instead of going they put him back. They should just kept him in things such as party games where there needs to be no real story to why hes there.
Useless character = Blaze.
What is her point?!?!?! She has no real need to be from where ever she is and she took the worst character of them all with her, Nega Eggman.
If the characters have a role then fine, but then again, characters who had roles, such as Rouge and Knuckles just seem to follow Sonic now. God SA2 Knuckles wasn't even really part of Sonic's cutscene til he need to be, now he is with Sonic at the start, what kind a loner and protector of the ME starts his story with people and away from his job.
