Talk:Mario VS Sonic 2/@comment-26987161-20180926223231

Even though I have always liked and agreed with the outcome of the original Mario vs Sonic Death Battle, I have also always questioned their reasoning. They pretty much said "With power-ups, they're equal. Without power-ups, Sonic wins". With their lack of backing up their logic, I can definitely understand why some Mario fans aren't quite convinced.

Here is my personal prediction for the rematch (please note: I don't know anything for sure, this is just MY personal guess): I believe Sonic will win again but only this time they will have more and better reasons. This is my main reason for believing he will take it again: this is the first Death Battle rematch since Goku vs Superman, right? Well, remember how the two Goku vs Supermans were in the same continuity? Like how both characters kept referencing the first fight. Okay, well provided Mario vs Sonic 2 follows the same formula and the last Death Battle between the two still had once taken place, then that would mean time has passed and that Sonic has only gotten more experienced.

It has been noted by both Blaze and Shadow (as well as Sonic himself when fighting Infinite) that Sonic is always tougher than the last time they fought him. Not only has this been mentioned, it's been proven. A good example of this is Sonic Generations, both the console version and the handheld version. In the console version, Sonic has a rematch with Perfect Chaos. In the original fight with Perfect Chaos in Sonic Adventure, Sonic was only able to defeat him by transforming into Super Sonic but in Generations, Sonic defeats him in just plain Base Form. In the 3DS version, Sonic has a rematch with the Egg Emperor and again, beats him without any addition power and/or help when in the first fight in Sonic Heroes it took all three members of Team Sonic to bring down the Egg Emperor.

So I strongly believe Sonic will win the rematch against Mario for these reasons.
