Everyone has a preference, Shadow or Sonic. For a lot of people, one of them is their paborito character. And that's great. Everyone has an opinion, you can like who you want. But that's not what this artikulo is about. No, this is about who would win in a fight. And we're going sa pamamagitan ng the game canon, so no comic abilities or Sonic X stuff.

First, I'll be looking at each of their advantages over his opponent. Then, I'll apply those advantages to a canonically logical battle between the two, and after that a fight without morality. Let's get started! :D

Sonic: Sonic has several advantages over Shadow he could employ, as such; 1. Physically faster. 2. madami experience in the field. 3. Luckier. 4. Good at distracting opponents from actually fighting with him. 5. Incredible jumping skill. 6. Extremely persistent. 7. Almost always manages to go super during very difficult fights.

Shadow: Like his rival, Shadow has multiple advantages at hand; 1. Thanks to his shoes and the power of Chaos Control, is ultimately faster. 2. Almost always seems to have at least 1 Esmeralda on hand. 3. Can utilize sinabi Esmeralda for use of several powerful Chaos abilities. 4. Is basically entirely indestructible. (See link) 5. Stronger. 6. Uses guns. 7. Has an inner power so great he has to contain it with Inhibitor Rings to keep himself from destroying everything, which can be used for short time periods as a ridiculous power boost to Shadow's already high power.

So there we have their advantages listed, now let's see how a fight would turn out. We'll be going with the most probable situation here, so they each have some Emeralds. Here we go! :D

The hedgehogs face each other. They both have a sense of honor, so they don't attempt to strike before the other is prepared. They then dash into each other at high speed, and begin punching and kicking rapidly. They both realize they aren't doing much damage, and jump back a bit. Sonic seizes the opportunity and punches Shadow before he can see it coming. Sonic proceeds to start circling around Shadow, trapping him in a tiny blue tornado, preparing to strike. Shadow slows Sonic ridiculously with Chaos Control, and uses the enhanced force inherent with enhanced speed to manuntok Sonic out of his tornado and onto the ground several yards away. Shadow attempts to use Chaos Spear and stun Sonic, but Sonic rolls out of the way, and runs back to Shadow to jump-kick him. Shadow is knocked to the ground, but as Sonic speeds sa pamamagitan ng for another attack, Shadow catches his foot and throws him into the ground again. He uses Chaos Blast as Sonic tries to get up, damaging him severely. Shadow once again attempts to spear Sonic, but Sonic gets up again and steals Shadow's Emeralds. As Shadow turns around, no longer able to control time, Sonic goes Super and starts pounding on Shadow. Shadow is beaten relentlessly for a couple minutes, and then decides it's time to take off his Rings. He does so, and begins attacking Sonic with madami than 10 times his nakaraan power. Despite being much tougher in his Super-form, the uninhibited power of the true Shadow is too much for Sonic, and after a failed attempt at one last attack, he falls to the ground, the Emeralds falling with him as he returns to his normal form. Shadow Chaos Spears Sonic, and delivers a mighty kick to his bruised head, knocking him out cold. Shadow gathers the Emeralds and puts his Rings back on, waiting for Sonic to wake up and admit defeat.

Whew. That was long. We still have the battle without morality, but this one is a lot faster.

As soon as Sonic sees Shadow, he runs up to him to try and spindash him apart. Shadow uses Chaos Control to stop time first, however, and steals Sonic's Emeralds, goes Super, removes his Inhibitor Rings, and releases Sonic from his immobilization. Shadow then starts attacking Sonic from every direction, moving too fast to see, firing several Chaos Spears as he does. Shadow then lands, punches Sonic, teleports behind him and Chaos Blasts him into the sky, where Shadow teleports and double-fists Sonic back towards ground. Shadow teleports under him, catches him, and snaps his neck.

Well, it looks like Shadow's pamagat of Ultimate Life-Form is well-deserved, doesn't it? Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it! Did I miss something? Do you disagree with the outcome? Do you just have something to say? Please let me know in the comments, and don't forget to be a tagahanga if you liked it! :D Thanks!
