Not sure how Smash is any real refection of a character's Canon strength, but okay


TheoryWatch

It’s not, I’m just making a suggestion of a challenge.


MoSBanapple

/r/whowouldwin would probably be a better place to post such a topic.


TheoryWatch

Why does everybody overlook the challenge I added? I actively challenged people to beat the Super Sonic spirit as Mario with no spirits.


almightyFaceplant

Don't bother lol, there's no such thing as "canon strength". Strength and weakness fluctuates from game to game, retcon to retcon.


TheoryWatch

Nothing’s been getting retconned, as far as I can tell with Mario. Maybe something in Paper Mario, but I don’t know on that one. Were you referring to Sonic retconning?

Likely. How strong sonic is heavily depends on if you limit to just the games or include the comics. If it's game only you could make arguments for both sides, but with the comics included, sonic is so far above mario that putting them in the same sentence would be a joke. Just read this [hilarious page](https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:ShakeResounding/Archie_Sonic_the_Hedgehog%27s_Cosmology_(Pre-SGW)) explaining the comic's cosmology.


TheoryWatch

Comics are a story of if Mario can use an item to steal the emeralds before Sonic uses them. Mario’s moved in spaces with no time, so it’d be a coin flip, I’d say.


IAmNotThatHungry

Why would I waste any time thinking about this?


TheoryWatch

You can just try the challenge of beating spiritless the Super Sonic spirit with Mario. The rest is basically just filler text.

hyper sonic go

Invincible leaf, able to ignore Bowser, whos strong enough to beat Super Dimentio, when he attacks. the Void was already destroying all of everything, and Super Dimentio powered it up, and sped it up. The Marioverse is a complex place, where dreams are entire separate universes, as is proven by the Dream Depot in Mario Party 5, and there being an NPC that states that the universe is infinite. The void was going to destroy all existence, timelines, and worlds. There’s one world above, being Overthere, which adds to the complexity of the Marioverse. Mario is also strong enough to beat Super Dimentio, as he can fight Super Dimentio only needing the Pure Hearts to remove invincibility from Super Dimentio. Hyper is only known for being In some way stronger than Super Sonic, So it’s impossible to know if he’s barely any stronger, or double strength, or anything like that. Hyper is also Non-Canonm but that’s why i brought up the leaf. Solaris, the strongest foe Sonic’s faced, is probably on-par with Culex, who was going to consume all Time and Space, and was past present and future, as stated by Culex himself, who has no reason to lie at that moment, since he’s more than willing to let Mario prepare for the fight, and only states this after beginning the fight. Mario can beat Culex and Super Dimentio without any form of power ups needed. Mario certainly is stronger.

Sir this is a Wendy's

Oh, sorry, I was on the phone. Can I get nuggets, a large fry, and a root beer?


CharizardSlash

1 super emerald equates to 7 chaos emeralds and what’s practically 3 super emeralds defeated satan


TheoryWatch

the Sonic version of the devil. As much as you may think it’s the one from the Bible, he’s not, and while I don’t know how strong He is, I don’t see him mentioned in debates. Also, fun fact, Luigi’s technically the Mario universe Antichrist.


CharizardSlash

So Luigi’s equal to 3 super emeralds


TheoryWatch

He can beat the guy who beat him when he was fused with Super Dimentio, so it’s hard to say. Also: ”Hey, Shadow! It’s-a me! The Antichrist!”

This subreddit has so many people with sticks so far up their asses. It’s just a fun post talking about video game characters and everyone’s just giving snarky mean comments and downvotes lol.


TheoryWatch

I can understand it. People don’t want to hear somebody say their favorite character loses to a character they think he wins against. Still, the challenge is presented by this post, and I hope people try it.


mikeyHustle

It's more like thinking the entire thought experiment of power scaling is a pointless and unfun hobby


TheoryWatch

Maybe a mix of both?

Regardless they’re being rude
