Talk:Mewtwo VS Shadow/@comment-24281142-20160619191754/@comment-3515785-20160620215045

The research was surprisingly done better than I expected.. However, I did notice a lot of non-canon stuff used and some holes. Don't take it as a huge negative criticism though, almost all of them are related to Death Battle rules. The blog was a lot better than what ODBFB could ever do, that's for sure. Let's go over some problems, shall we?

1) First of all, Shadow Mewtwo...It's NON-CANON and Shadow Pokemons are seperate entities; meaning Shadow Mewtwo and Mewtwo aren't the same character. (There goes the only chance of Mewtwo's victory)

2) What does losing memories have anything to do with resistance to mind control? He didn't lose his memories by an outside force, it was caused by natural amnesia. Even when Shadow's memories were wiped, his bond to the Chaos Force remains. If anything, losing memories should be an advantage. Also, Sonic Boom isn't canon.

3) I saw some "stat switch" stuff. First, that's game mechanic; just like you introduced "never misses" as a game mechanic of Swift and Aura Sphere. Second, it can be blocked by a simple move such as "Protect". If we were to include Shadow's game mechanical abilities as well, h would instant-kill Mewtwo with Chaos Rift. DB Rule #3 and #4 are connected to such scenarios.

4) Shadow definitely takes the durability category. Mewtwo simply doesn't have the stamina to keep up the fight. He doesn't have any means to actually hurt Shadow, let alone kill him. Mewtwo's stamina will keep draining while Shadow's power will increase wlihe keeping his stamina stabilized. Mewtwo has powerful psychic abilities, but a hedgehog everyone hates has similar abilities...it didn't end well for him. There was a lot of salt when I said Shadow is an unbeatable opponent when it comes to Mewtwo; and I will probably get salt even after I'm done typing this. But really, Mewtwo just has no way of winning.
