Alright, let's break this down.

Sollux is a range spammer. He's never fought someone hand to hand in his life and he never plans to. What he will do, however, is hang around in the atmosphere tossing buildings and meteors at his opponent. Even when not taking someone seriously in the slightest, his response was to drop a multi story mall on his head, before casually revealing he didn't actually care and flying off. Nevermind the fact that he's also spamming eye lasers that can eclipse his own body in size

Luckily, Boruto seems to have a few ways around this. Emphasis on few. While speed amps most definitely help and I can easily see him leapfrogging off of thrown building, it's still going to be really hard to reach Sollux when he's just hanging around in the atmosphere dropping rocks, buildings, and lasers on him.

What is a really big advantage for Boruto is his durability (Sollux is effortlessly baseline, so Boruto is 5x stronger), which, when combined with his stat amps, can lead to him outlasting Sollux or killing him before he gets to far out of range. The problem with that is it's really the only win condition I can see right off the bat.

Sollux's range spamming has let him take down people vastly more skilled than Boruto. Any physical projectile he throws would just get thrown right back thanks to telekinesis. While it is out of character for Sollux to throw back an energy projectile, prior knowledge means he'll just try and dodge it, rather than, say, countering it directly.

On the topic of prior knowledge, while it would inform Boruto that Sollux is someone he should finish quickly before he gets out of range, it would also make it more likely for Sollux to resort to things he otherwise wouldn't. For example, it's pretty out of character for Sollux to ragdoll someone with telekinesis. But, with prior knowledge on how dangerous Boruto is, he'd be more likely to resort to it if his opponent started to get to be to much to handle.


Overall, leaning towards Sollux. While Boruto's versatility, skill, stat advantages, and stat buffs make him a major threat, he doesn't have a solid answer for Sollux's range, which ensures that he can fight Boruto while being nowhere near him and that he won't be running out of ammo so long as there are still meteors he can lift in the universe. Boruto's best chance is to stat amp and cut him up before Sollux gets out of range and while prior knowledge ensures he'd know to do this, Sollux would also know that he's capable of it and would just ragdoll him with Class P lifting strength should he makes the attempt.

Sollux 7/10
