Talk:Knuckles the Echidna/@comment-3396984-20150725232844

" If we give Knuckles the power of teleportation and blow up shit with chaos energy, would that really sound like something Knuckles The Echidna would do?"

-  Uh, would Spider-Man really web up a regular man and dive bomb into him and dismember him, or Superman blow up the planet just to destroy an opponent who if they came back up annilhilate with his heat vision? The rules about someone holding back because of their nature aren't in death battles for the sake of making them DEATH battles. So if Knuckles was fighting someone to the death with his full range of abilities, yes he would. Hell if you play Sonic Adventure 2 when fighting him as Rouge he uses lightning strikes to try and take her out.

" Between all of the Sonic sources, it's the main game series where the characters are most accurately portrayed and where the original sources come from. To use anything that would be non-canon to those sources would not create a faithful version of this character."

- Again ALL sources are used when complying death battle, whether or not it goes against the original canon. Like Goku being able to go from Super Sayian 3 to Super Sayian 4. Never did that in any medium but could do so in death battle. If it can fits within the overal stats of the character it counts.

Thus why I said Knuckles would win a Death battle based on these rules man. Seriously if you haven't seen the other 50 episodes you should know every source is used and that includes the comic sources as well if it's talking about the general character. Don't act like Archie sources are invalidated when that isn't the case for Death Battle especially when they point out they try and have each character at their prime. Thus we'll liekly also see DK bust out his crystal coconut powers in this even though he only did that in ONE GAME and no other one because it's part of his move set even if he regularly wouldn't use it.
