Well, Sora did a good job against Cloud in Kingdom Hearts 1, although I haven't seen Sora from Kingdom Hearts II go against him just yet, so that gives me freedom to guess. You just said Sora, nothing of his partners, so he can't count on Donald to heal him this time. Still, Sora did beat Cloud after just learning to use his weapon and magic just recently, and Cloud had been in training for a long time under Sephiroth in Soldier. Cloud has more experience and strength than Sora has, but since Sora has gotten much more powerful since the last time he beat Cloud, I'm pretty sure it will be even easier for Sora to do it again. So for some crazy video game logic I can't comprehend, I'll have to say the teenager with less than a year of fighting experience will beat a highly trained warrior who has been an expert in fighting for a lot of his life. Weird, I know.
Teen Spyro versus Teen Cynder, huh? You came to the right person, as I said in the What Have You Purchased Recently post, I have beaten Dawn of the Dragon five times. I must say, with years of experience saving the world, with his four attacks being a bit more impressive in my opinion, and that even when Cynder was filled with Malefor's dark energy to maximize her power and cause her to reach her utmost maturity in A New Beginning, yet Spyro took her down anyway, I have to lean toward Spyro. Now Cynder can shoot wind, little acid balls, turn heself to darkness and claw enemies, and release high pitch screams. But Spyro can blast scorching fire, ice missiles, lightning bolts, and create powerful a force field that protects him and lets him pummel his enemies. I may be mistaken, but because of his superior powers, vast experience taking down enemies five times as strong, and that he beat her when he was weaker than now and she was stronger than now, Spyro is my absolute choice. Only a major disagreement could possibly sway me otherwise, but I'll still respect and consider any opinions, no matter how insignificant they seem to you.
I still hope someone could answer my Mario question from before, being as this place seems filled with his fans. But as usual, I have a backup fairly easy one to understand: Bowser and Donkey Kong versus Mario, Yoshi, and a Boo that felt mistreated by Bowser so is helping Mario as an act of revenge against his old master.
I'm afraid I'd have to give the victory to Shadow. He's both fast enough to rival Sonic and displays a level of super strength in Shadow the Hedgehog. He's also capable of using Chaos Control in a variety of ways, including Chaos Blast and if things get tough he could just remove his inhibitor rings for an extra power boost.
I appreciate your answer. Makes sense, has logical reasons, and is very detailed. But I'm afraid you slightly misunderstood my question. Don't worry at all though. It was a very minor detail and everyone misses things like that occasionally, myself especially included. Now I am a huge Sonic fan so I am already well aware that Shadow is far more powerful. If they went one on one, it gaurantees Shadow's victory; there's no contest at all. Being aware of this from the start, if you glance at my battle suggestion one more time, you'll notice that I had hoped Sonic would have help from an old friend from the start. It's no problem though; I really don't mind at all. I'm just saying this so you won't actually believe for another second that I honestly considered that Sonic stood a chance against Shadow. I appreciate how many times you've answered me here though, and I thank you.
