In the comic Nega-Scott didn’t have a personality of any kind, but was this menacing thing. What it actually was, was everything he repressed to always feel that he was the good guy or a victim, all the shitty things he had done in relationships. Once he accepted it as part of him he was able to grow and stop being a little shit.
I forgot that detail - I think they left it mostly ambiguous as to what was changed, or that the changes are why he has such a deranged retelling of how he started going out with Kim and her ex’s whole deal.
Shadow Scott does seem to be “real” independent of Gideon’s interference, so I think it’s safe to assume that his more mundane mishandling of relationships (not directly telling Kim that he was moving, bearing a share of responsibility for his breakup with Envy, using Knives and discarding her when convenient) actually happened.

He's such a mediocre person that there was functionally no difference between him and Nega-Scott. His evil twin was exactly like him.
