Was gone for a few days, sorry :/ I probably won't enter the chaos and spend a big chunk of my time replying to a few false accusers only for the whole page to be deleted later on. But, I will examine the link you gave me.

Yeah...no. Fan-written scripts are hardly ever a reliable source. There are so many holes in that verdict. *sigh* Guess I'll start with speed.

The virus spread has absolutely no relation to the speed of the individual. Secondly, MFTL? X is not even close to speed of light, maybe close to speed of sound. Zero's speed is similar near the end of the series, which takes care of the speed issue.

Zero can react to attacks faster than his speed but there is no huge gap of speed he can react to. So, MFTL? No.

Shadow's and Zero's weakness is stupidity? The writer is clearly a stranger to both universes. Also, Rage Mode? (Wtf?) We call them Inhibitor Rings.

Durability: "Star explosion a.k.a. supernova"

Star explosion does not necessarily create supernova. Even the explosion of our real Sun would not measure upto that. But still, Shadow tanked the entire explosion of thousands of compressed Planet Eggs, which was meant to wipe out the entire galaxy. And guess what? He's alive. It is nearly impossible to get an exact measure of the shown durability, but it far outclasses any of Zero's durability feats. About the atmospheric re-entry in MMX, Zero was in a ship.

Shadow's arsenal limited? *sigh* Zero may seems to have a lot more different moves than Shadow does. However, Zero's moveset is similar throughout the entire series: Upper Slash, Dash Attack, Downwards Spike, Shot Deflection, Spinning Slash, a support move (i.e.Dark Hold in X5 and Yammar option in X6) and Light-elemented Giga Attack. The difference between the games is the alteration of elements between those moves (i.e. Upper Slash's element changes from Fire to Electricity in X5). His variety of weapons makes up for the utility though.While Shadow's arsenal seems a bit short on paper while still having a huge list of Chaos moves, all of his moves have different utilities with different effects. Arsenal variety category is a draw here.

The writer was obviously biased towards Zero. He thought it would be "unfair" to give Chaos Control to Shadow in order to make Zero win. Giving Genmu Zero with game mechanic while leaving out Shadow's "hacks"... Now that is downplaying. Besides Chaos Control hack, he has a move called "Chaos Rift" which kills foes. Yes, instantly kill them trapped in a dimension.

Calling me a downplayer of Mega Man series contradicts with your stance on Zero vs Meta Knight. Zero was heavily downplayed and MK's stats were generally made-up without any actual support, because Nintendo fans...Thus everyone except me unanimously voted for MK. If the link you gave me had correct information, then Meta Knight wouldn't stand a chance against Zero, according to the analyses(!) of others on Meta Knight. So, which one do you actually support: Meta Knight against Zero or Zero against Shadow? Only one of them can be right.

I play Megaman series since childhood and Zero is one of my favorite characters in ficton, but I know that Shadow takes the match.
