Talk:Knuckles VS Donkey Kong/@comment-27822848-20150729052927

Alright, this is my prediction.

This match is certainly close, but right off the bat we see Knuckles with a speed advantage and Donkey Kong with a strength and durability advantage.

However, it goes even beyond that. Knuckles has more independent experience, but it's still not a whole lot. Donkey Kong has shown a few instances of being smart, so he's not totally outclassed in that regard.

Now, here's where things get dicey. Knuckles may hold the speed and skill advantage, but he's a strictly close-range fighter. Donkey Kong is a superior close-range fighter thanks to being stronger and having longer arms, and then he can also fight mid-range with his shockwaves and orange grenades, and long-range with his coconut gun. This will handily counter Knuckles' speed advantage, leaving Knuckles with little means to take out the gorilla.

Knuckles, you're a pretty cool guy, but sadly, I predict a loss for you as I say Donkey Kong will be the one to win.
