I'm a Sonic fan and I can admit our fanbase is way worse. Anyway, can you support why you think Mario rates higher on the power ranks?
 * Round 1: I'll assume that means "Low-end/Platformer" Mario and base Modern Sonic. In that case, Mario stomps. 3-B VS 5-B. He'll have to work to catch Sonic, granted. Massively Hypersonic+ VS FTL. At that point, skill wouldn't even matter.
 * Round 2: Paper Mario crushes with absolute effortlessness. As I have stated, Paper Mario is High 1-C at his peak, while Sonic, for me, is High 2-A. Numerous differences of infinity. Both are Immeasurable in speed, so no speedblitzing is happening.
 * Round 3: Mario, once again. Paper Mario solos for previously mentioned reasons. Man, I'm glad I made profiles for them, I'd have to explain all the info in those two profiles to you guys.
 * Better Character: You wanna know something I hate? I'm not attempting to hurt anyone's feelings, but I hate it when people are too lazy to search for personality in a character. Because their personality isn't handed to you on a silver platter doesn't mean they have none. To me, Mario is an infinitely better character with more personality. I have reasons for it, it's just that it'd take a long time to type.
 * Worse Fanbase: This is such a bad question. Might as well replace it with "Whose fanbase are you in? Mario or Sonic?" If you're a Sonic fan, you'll only ever see the bad side of the Mario fandom. If you're a Mario fan, you'll only ever see the bad side of the Sonic fandom. I've always believed the Sonic fanbase was worse, for many reasons. But that's because I have only ever been a Mario fan, thus, the fanbase doesn't attack me. Bleh, this question isn't right to answer unless you're neutral, and even then, you need to be truly neutral, never ever been a Sonic nor Mario fan, and just happened to stumble on the bad side of both sides. But... ehh... I say Sonic. For two reasons: I have seen the Sonic fandom literally question the existence of people who support Mario. I'm serious, I'm not lying to you guys. It was a few people, so it's not the entire fanbase. But even then, these people would spam questions to Mario supporters, asking things like this: "Why are you alive?" or "Are you an alien?" or "Who put you on this earth?" And while I have heard of the Mario Defenders that Blur was talking about, I have also talked to them. The guys are really nice, okay? Seriously. But it's their bad experiences that made them hate Sonic the way they do. Besides, the Sonic fandom does the same exact thing. I've seen people make gifs of Tails killing Luigi and putting "The Year of Luigi is over" on it, mocking Luigi fans. And I've seen so much more...
 * TN: I think it could be better, overall. There's always room for improvement. For one, yeah, facing each other is a cool gimmick. I don't care too much for the pictures you chose, either. But overall, for what you did do... not bad. Honestly, I do like your choice of magnification. I hate it when people put the full body in the picture. Immediately, that makes yours, IMO, better than all of those. I also like how you chose a unique background rather than a single color, and the blurring of it makes it even better without drawing attention away. Fantastic job, there. :)
