Bowser vs the Sonic the Hedgehog. Hopefully...

(All sources posted in this round have already been posted before.) Countering Sonic Sonic’s quills let him sense danger; thus, he will realize Bowser is a powerful opponent [1]. This will make him more serious than usual and will allow him to use his more powerful attacks. Sonic can also use “Sonic Boost,” which implies he travels at blistering speeds in a dash, meaning he can do this instantaneously [2]. This means Sonic can still attack Bowser at speeds higher than the speed of sound, and this will replace his backup speed; thus, he will still be capable of ripping through Bowser. Also, how Bowser will be able to react in time to Sonic’s speed? Even without any backup speed, Sonic can still move surprisingly fast, so it is unlikely Bowser will be able to block Sonic’s attacks. Alternatively, Sonic could just slow down time and kill Bowser. Pro then says that Sonic will be dazed if Bowser brings his arms up to block Sonic, because Sonic will lack a foothold; however, lacking a foot hold will not stop him, since he can use the Sonic Boost in midair [1]. This will let him tear straight through Bowser. If all of the above rebuttals don’t work and Bowser somehow manages to grab Sonic, Sonic can activate the yellow gem in his shoes and use the thunder shield to shock Bowser, allowing Sonic to get away. Remember, Sonic doesn’t actually have to spin or move for this to work; he can simply do it whenever he wants [3]. Pro says Sonic will be unwilling to use the power, but since Bowser is about to cut Sonic’s head off and burn him to ashes, I would say that Sonic would be panicked enough to use his yellow gem. After he gets away, he will become much more serious with Bowser and use his full power against him, such as slowing down time. Once he does that, Bowser has essentially lost. 1) Straightforward Attack It doesn’t really matter if Bowser is as fast and agile as Mario, since Sonic can still move at blistering speeds far above Mario and Bowser combined. Pro says Bowser can teleport through Sonic and that it will take time for Sonic to turn. However, Sonic can easily turn in very tight circles without trouble, so it is unlikely that this will slow him down much [1]. Also, he can keep his eyes on the shadow of where Bowser is moving, and while he is watching, he can charge up his attack. By the time Bowser appears, Sonic will have fully charged his attack, and he will run straight at Bowser. Bowser will have absolutely no way of dodging this, since I already have shown how teleportation drains him of his speed and he can only use it every 10 seconds. After that, it’s all over for Bowser, since I already have shown how Sonic can rip through battleships without even traveling at the speed of sound. Furthermore, Pro says if Sonic kicks Bowser’s shell, his shoes and gems will break; however, since Sonic can run at the speed of light with his shoes pounding on the floor, and also since he has been seen kicking enemies with his shoes multiple times without his gems and/or shoes breaking, it is unlikely that the gems within Sonic’s shoes will break. 2)-5) Bowser’s tactics will not work for reasons stated above. 6) Sonic Drift Again, Sonic can turn in very tight circles extremely quickly, so the Sonic Drift will not slow him down very much. Bowser’s teleportation abilities will not work for reasons stated above. Also, if Bowser aims his lightning near himself, it is possible that the rocks that go flying will hit Bowser instead of Sonic. Sonic’s intense and ridiculously amazing reflexes will allow him to dodge any incoming projectiles and still hit Bowser. Bowser, on the other hand, is much too slow and clumsy to dodge much of anything, so it is likely that the rocks will hit him. 7) Pure Speed and Intense Reflexes Pro says that if Bowser hits the ground with lightning, rocks will fly into the air. Sonic is moving at light speed. Unless you can somehow prove that flying rocks are capable of moving faster than light, then Sonic can easily dodge them without trouble and hit Bowser. At best, these projectiles will slow Sonic by 100-200 mph. He will still be moving faster than the naked eye can see, so Bowser will be too slow to use his teleportation. Pro’s Additional Arguments- 1) + 2) Pro agrees that Bowser’s abilities will not work because of the rules of this debate. My Case- 1) You were hitting me this whole time? Oh, I didn’t notice! I have already shown why Bowser grabbing Sonic will not work, and even if he does how the thunder shield will protect him and harm Bowser. I'd also like to address his argument about Sonic's resistance to fire, even though I don't have to since Sonic's thunder shield would protect him. Sonic has survived free falls from space. Things falling from space burn because of earth's atmosphere, but since Sonic was able to get up after the fall from space as if nothing had happened, it is clear that the fire did not affect him. Also, if Sonic vibrates his molecules to heal himself, he will not amp the fire, since Pro agreed that Sonic is resistant to catching on fire from friction. It will simply heal him. 2) Pfft, I’ve faced people way more powerful than you! Pro says he will show how Bowser is more powerful than Emerl, but he fails to do so. The purpose of this argument was not to show that Sonic will be guaranteed a win, but rather that it is likely he will win. Since he can beat someone more powerful than Bowser, it is extremely likely he will win against Bowser himself. This argument also shows that Sonic is most likely more experienced than Bowser and is unlikely to give up in the fight. 3) Time to attack! It is unlikely Bowser will be fast enough to react to something moving at the speed of sound, so he probably will not teleport in time. Even if he does, Sonic can continue to release the shockwaves until Bowser reappears and continue to hit him until Bowser is able to teleport again. I have already shown how Sonic kicking Bowser’s shell will not damage the shoes or the gems. He drops Sonic’s ability to summon an “Insta-shield," and Sonic’s ability to summon blue blades of energy. 4) Strategy time! Pro completely concedes to this point. 5) Sonic’s Shoes Again, Sonic’s gems and/or shoes will not break for reasons stated above. Also, how would Bowser know about Sonic’s shoes? The only way he could know is if Sonic utilized his shoes, and by that time Bowser would already be dead, since Sonic is capable of summoning a thunder shield and slowing down time. Even if Bowser somehow survived Sonic’s powers, how would he know that the source of the power is the shoes themselves? And even if he somehow did figure out where the thunder shield and slowing down time abilities came from, he still would not be able to take Sonic’s shoes off. As he reaches down to pull Sonic’s shoes off, Sonic could easily utilize his thunder shield before he does so, causing Bowser to be shocked and allowing him to run away. Conclusion- Pro has dropped two of his own arguments, one of my own arguments, and two of Sonic’s abilities (Insta-shield and Sonic Wind). He has also pretty much dropped Bowser’s physical capabilities and is relying heavily upon his lightning and teleportation, but I have already shown how both of these abilities are virtually useless. The only argument that does not include Bowser’s magical abilities is when he says Bowser can grab Sonic. However, remember that if Bowser does this, then Sonic will utilize his yellow gem and call upon his thunder shield. After that, Sonic will become much more serious in the fight and use his full abilities after having such a close call with death, which will ensure him a win, since he can simply bend time to his will. Well, I’d like to thank my opponent for an excellent debate. I had a lot of fun and hope he did as well. [1] http://sonic.wikia.com... [2] http://sonic.wikia.com...
