Bowser vs the Sonic the Hedgehog. Hopefully...

Countering Sonic Pro says Sonic will not attack Bowser as he is charging forward, and his reasoning is that Sonic has a joking attitude. Just because Sonic has a sarcastic attitude doesn’t make him stupid enough to miss such a great opportunity to attack Bowser. Then he says Sonic’s attacks won't do much to Bowser. Sonic is capable of ripping through a battleship when traveling less than the speed of sound (768 miles per hour) [1]. If he were to go at his top speed at Bowser (3,840 miles per hour), Sonic would literally rip right through him. Pro also says that Bowser will understand the pattern behind Sonic’s attacks; however, when I last checked, Bowser lacked a large amount of common sense [2]. While he may be intelligent in designing machines or coming up with extravagant plans, he is extremely stupid when in the heat or midst of things, as shown when he breathed fire on a Superbombomb because it would not blow up. He also did not realize that he could not rule the world if it was destroyed until Mario explained this to him. Clearly, Bowser will not be capable of understanding Sonic’s pattern. Even if Bowser somehow did get Sonic’s pattern, he would be helpless to stop it. Bowser is just too slow for Sonic. Pro also says Bowser can burn Sonic to death; however, I have already showed that Sonic is capable of running at light speed without even catching on fire. Clearly, he is extremely resistant to fire, and as a result, Bowser’s fireballs will not work on Sonic. 1) Straight Forward Attack In the source Pro provides, it says that Bowser’s speed is inconsistent, and he is usually slower than Mario; therefore, he is most likely going to be his usual slow self in this fight. Pro says Bowser can summon lightning. In the first video, it is shown that it takes time for Bowser to summon the lightning. His hands begin to glow for approximately two or three seconds, and then he has to aim at where he wants to fire the lightning (happens at 0050 to 1:10) [3]. In the time that Bowser has to charge up his powers and aim at Sonic, Sonic will already be attacking Bowser. Bowser will also have a very difficult time aiming at Sonic, since Sonic can move at 3,840 miles per hour. While Bowser is raising his hands in Sonic’s direction, Sonic can go behind Bowser or move to another spot. Bowser will be too slow to aim correctly at Sonic, so he will not be able to hit him. Pro also says Bowser can teleport. In the second video, it shows Bowser teleporting by fading very slowly and after several seconds, he appears somewhere else (happens at 7:55 to 8:25) [4]. In addition, when Bowser “teleports,” you can see a circular shadow move to where he will teleport. This shadow moves very slowly, so Sonic will be able to follow the shadow to where Bowser appears and continue to attack him. Moreover, he can only use this move every ten seconds or so, which leaves Sonic with plenty of time to continue hitting Bowser. You will also notice how Bowser moves slower than walking speed in the fight. Clearly, using his teleportation drains Bowser’s speed, and this will make it very easy for Sonic to attack him. 2)-5) Bowser’s abilities will not work for reasons stated above. 6) Sonic Drift Pro says the blue flames will follow Sonic; however, they will not be able to keep up with him, and from his perspective, they will seem to be moving extremely slowly. Sonic can also attack Bowser at very high speeds and then run away again so the flames will not hit him. Sonic is also resistant to flames, as I have already shown. 7) Pure Speed and Intense Reflexes I didn't say Sonic could go at light speed in two seconds. I said it would take him two seconds to get far enough away, and then he could charge at Bowser using the light speed attack. That takes about four seconds. In total, it would take about six seconds. In addition, Bowser, as I have previously mentioned, lacks large amounts of common sense. I do not think he will understand what Sonic is doing, and he will probably believe he will have won the fight, since Sonic just ran away from him. If that is not enough to fool him, Sonic could always shout out, “Oh, no. Bowser is too powerful. I’m so scared,” and run away. Bowser's teleportation will not work against Sonic's light speed attack. His lightning would not work either because it takes several seconds to charge, and in that time Sonic could have run around the arena and hit Bowser multiple times. My Case- 1) You were hitting me this whole time? Oh, I didn’t notice! When Sonic runs, he usually runs forward. Since he can run forward at light speed and does not catch on fire, it is clear that Bowser’s fire will not work on Sonic regardless of which way he is facing. My opponent also believes that Bowser’s spikes will hurt Sonic; however, he completely disregards what I said earlier about Sonic enduring very heavy blows. Also, since Sonic won't be affected by the fire, he can use his healing abilities. Let us not forget that as Bowser turns around to stab Sonic, he is giving Sonic a chance to run away, so this attack won't work anyways. 2) Pfft, I’ve faced people way more powerful than you! This argument was to show that Sonic's willpower will allow him to win any fight, no matter what situation he is presented with. Pro has made no attempt to show that Bowser is as powerful as Emerl; therefore, if Sonic can beat someone way more powerful than Bowser, then it is logical to conclude he can beat Bowser himself. 3) Time to attack! Shockwaves travel faster than the speed of sound [5]. Bowser will not be able to dodge this. Lightning does not affect shockwaves or wind, so it will be a useless defense. Also, shockwaves become stronger as the medium they are traveling along becomes hotter; therefore, the lightning will simply strengthen the shockwave [5]. Pro also drops the “Insta-shield,” argument. 4) Strategy time! As I said before, Bowser is not very smart, and he will be pretty angry at Sonic, making him think irrationally; thus, it is likely this tactic will work. Now I will refute my opponent’s additional arguments. 1) Size Transformation In the third video that I have provided, Bowser can only turn Koopa Troopa into a frog using his wand (happens at 6:10 to 6:20) [7]. My opponent said no items were to be allowed within this debate; thus, he is breaking his own rules. Pro also says that Bowser can make Sonic small (according to his source, it happens in Mario Party 4); however, looking into the game, it turns out that characters only turn small when they land on a certain square and obtain a mini-mushroom [8]. Again, no items are allowed in this debate, so this will not work. 2) Adrenaline Rush Bowser can only grow big when he is in mortal danger. He also needs someone to actually go inside his body and shoot orbs of adrenaline at his heart [9]. No outside help is allowed, so this won't work. Before ending this round, I would like to make an additional argument. 5) Sonic’s Shoes My opponent said Sonic will be allowed to have his shoes; thus, Sonic will be capable of summoning a thunder shield, since he has a yellow gem within his shoes given to him by Mr. Roberto [10]. This will block any lightning and/or fire attacks Bowser throws at him and can also be used to harm Bowser. Sonic can also slow time down around him using the red gem in his shoes [10]. Well, I have exhausted my character limit, and I thank my opponent for posing such a challenge. This debate has been much harder than I expected. Sources- [1] http://sonic.wikia.com...
