User blog comment:Savage Samurai/Mario vs Sonic 2; My Thoughts/@comment-30687145-20181003232909

Honestly, nothing good will come from them remaking this battle. If you want my opinion, it will end up just like the Goku vs. Superman 2 from season 2; people get excited for the "rematch of legends" and both characters are said to have new feats and abilities. Then the battle occurs and everyone is let down by how neither characters' full potential were utilized. Goku was stated to have new, greater saiyan powers, which were totally useless because how broken the man of steel is at his best. Superman is stated to have a new solar attack that was never seen in the actual battle because it was unecessary. The show hosts themselves stated that there really was no point to making Goku vs. Superman again because of how omnipotent the latter is. On top of that, it has more dislikes than the first Goku vs. Superman match.

This remake will follow a similar principle; Mario and Sonic will be told to have new feats and abilities, but the result will still be the same for the same reasons: powerups aside, Mario has no way of countering Sonic's Super Speed, even with the new rules. Thus, people will complain all about the pointlessness of the remake, fans of the winner will gloat endlessly, and no one wins. That is why I always pester screwattack to make battles between more even combatants. Why make a matchup if it is obvious who wins?
