Talk:Donkey Kong VS Knuckles/@comment-12846745-20150811154740

Well, somebody on the SA forums said this supporting Knux

"Knuckles can stop a spin attack with his bare hands. He's the only character I know of thats really capable of doing this. (Besides Big the Cat in the archie comics) In Sonic X, Knuckles and Shadow had a fight in episode 73 (I believe) and Shadow had to take off his inhibitor rings in order to put him down. But even then, Knux got up and walked away from it not long after."

"Okay, spin attack with the power of a nuke managed to knock him out. I'll be generous here and assume that the hit got him in the right spot. That's a good feat."

"I didnt really say the spin attack had the power of a nuke. The nuke part in my description was moreso referring to the ridiculous amounts of chaos energy Shadow is potentially capable of utilizing when he takes off his inhibitor rings. "

"My point was that the spin attack on its own is a very destructive attack that can rip through earth and metal like nothing. During their fight, Knuckles caught Shadow mid-spin and threw him through a steel wall. In retaliation, Shadow came at him a second time with his rings OFF and was able to put him down. But even after taking a direct hit, Knuckles got up with only scratches."

"The first spin attack that Knuckles caught with his hands was actually meant to kill Cosmo, as he had been hunting her down throughout the episode with the intent to end her. So yes, it was most definitely a kill blow that he took because after Knuckles tossed him, Shadow came at him even HARDER. To further this point, Shadow had actually fallen to his knees and nearly passed out after he had knocked Knux over because he had reached his threshold of power exertion with his inhibitor rings off."

MORE FAITH IN KNUX RESTORED
