Yeah...sonic's always been able to pull off insane speed maneuvers, but with his 20 mph limit...things like blue tornado, and sonic overdrive are out the window...can't even spin dash like a pro now....
plus people have officially made wario the M12 tank of the matchup and sonic's flimsy limbs can't bust a "tank" persay...
Not necessarily, if he knew where to hit, especially if he knew how to do limb-breaking manuevers, he could very easily have the advantage. The higher on the training scale you get, generally the more speed is more important then strength.
plus running fast doesn't mean you have an extremely excellent reaction time, people like that would have good reaction times
but it's not like ninja status or anything...
my reaction time to sound is around 0.225 seconds average, which is pretty fast(plus I'm a gamer... I think that would make sense)
it also doesn't mean Wario is that slow either
sonic running around isn't going to make much difference.
EDIT: sure sonic can avoid attacks, but if wario has a fast enough reaction time he could just grab sonic when he approaches
Actually, a fifth of a second is pretty slow, average is 13/60ths about, and I'm a tenth of a second, and 8/60ths is about what is humanly possible, hence what we use for match-ups.
Grabbing is harder then you think though, it usually comes off a miffed attack.
Not bringing it over from the games or whatnot, but Sonic does have fighting skills, shown in Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Battle.
He knows how to throw a punch/kick, that's all I'm saying.
===
Then again, this thread pretty much gave us a *******ized and nerfed to hell n' back Sonic.
Being able to kick and punch is not what I'm talking about, he'd need to know techniques to break limbs and pressure points to be successful.
Sucks that biologically the fastest animals go 80 MPH are 4 legged. And that none use two legs XD... Still Sonic isn't human, couldn't his legs somehow be biologically better at running than a human?
Actually no, they're biologically worse.
Look at him.
Proportionally speaking, his legs are thinner then human legs, especially relative to that olympian we saw earlier. He's lucky that we were even willing to give him THAT top speed.
Sonic sux IRL.
well, sonic has fought the likes of Knuckles...
but I guess in real life Sonic holds the title of worst nerfed char <.<
Nah, there are a ton of characters who have their powers reduced far more.
But in terms of "is the worst after IRL nerfs him/her/it/potato", then yes, so far Sonic gets it the worst. Doubtful wario will survive the next match-up round though, it's not like he had much to start with however.
