Katsuki Bakugo (Dynamight) VS Knuckles the Echidna (Paramount)

Bakugo's AP: 8.12 Tons of TNT and with Howitzer Impact: 34.14 Tons of TNT

Knuckles AP: 8.6 Tons of TNT
 
Bakugou probably wins fairly easily with the heat of his explosions exceeding Knuckles’ resistance and superior stamina, combat skill, and maneuverability. One-shoting with Howitzer Impact is also an option.

The heat of Bakugo explosions may not always be 5,000C, I will ask about that in another thread. Skill Wise, Knuckles has been training his whole life, it's his sole purpose through this life. Maneuverability would just be an advantage. Bakugo only uses Howitzer Impact as a final move, but I will restrict it
 
Knuckles definitely has the skill advantage. Also, he would very easily dodge Howitzer Impact- it's a final move with a huge windup time.
 
Bakugou fights in a mid to close quarters fighting style, if Knuckles ever Starts beating him in CQC he can and will likely just start throwing out explosions from a distance, and knuckles BFR requires him to get Bakugou through a ring which is unlikely because Superhuman vs Class 5 is an unfavorable matchup for Knuckles.

He has AP auto canon, which when combined with dura neg explosions, creates a whole new layer of trouble for knuckles, having to go though a full barrage of attacks which will all do serious damage. AP shot will go straight through any defense he may have, his hero gear gives him access to grenades for set ups and distractions, his gauntlets store up sweat to be released as one big kaboom, even his kneepads are essentially just Blunt weapons to increase striking damage.

He has flight, flashbangs, catapult moves, a much more strategically thinking head, many more combat skill showings (Bakugou has fought against people who have years of experience on him, and easily skill stomped criminals with at least one likely having a decade of experience, and is equal to, if not better than Deku, who was nearly equal to people like Wolfram, a mercenary directly hired to kill the Top Hero, and held his own against Stain, who has killed multiple pro heroes, and held his own against them all, despite the decades of difference, Knuckles has training and time guarding, but he’s another punchy fighter, which Class 1-A has many of, while I doubt Knuckles has ever faced a foe quite like a Bakugou before)

So yeah voting Bakugou

How does joint training arc Bakugoof (Where he is literally still studying) outskills movie Knuckles who has been trained in all forms of combat since birth, and has crossed across the galaxy to find Sonic? Other people have said Knuckles had "time guarding" which is just wrong since movie Knuckles is not even a guardian. We see in the pre-quill comic he fighting against gladiators across space.
 
if we count that sonic's spikes generate enough energy to allow eggman to return from the other side of the universe to earth, then knuckles completely destroys bakugo
 
I honestly think you all blow Bakugou out of proportion. He has decent reflexes, but he's a high schooler who only started hand-to-hand and combat training like a year ago. He's really smart, but clearly reckless and inexperienced.

what stops bakugoat from range spamming endlessly

Knuckle definitely has far higher reflexes, so I guess he'd chase and dodge until Bakugou ran out of stamina. Which he would, because Bakugou uses a quirk and all quirks have side effects that kick in fast with intensive use. Knuckles does not have this weakness. Also, Bakugou definitely has less stamina anyway.

I doubt Knuckles is going to run and dodge Bakugo's Attacks for hours and hours. Also, this seems OOC for Knuckles considering the events of Sonic 2

Stamina wise definitely goes to Bakugo, he was able to fight for 8 hours straight while using his quirk and was getting his flesh ripped off from his body and was still able to continue fighting. Knuckles best stamina feat is just not being tired during the events of Sonic 2, and it's not like he was continuously fighting Sonic and Co anyway
 
The fighting for 8 hours straight was against earth monsters that weren't really trying to hurt him, and with an entire class supporting him. The entire class was clearly super exhausted afterward too. The flesh getting ripped from his body was during a totally different fight against the Serpenters.
And yes, Knuckles probably would keep chasing Bakugou until he hits him. His body is definitely more made for stamina considering how fast he constantly moves without any sign of tiring. Not to mention Bakugou won't run away forever with his personality.

You can't say they weren't trying to hurt them when they all had bruises and cuts on their face. Plus, Bakugo at this point doesn't cooperate with the rest of the class well, he did complain when Todoroki helped him defeat some monsters.
The entire class was clearly super exhausted afterward too.
The rest of the class being tired or not is irrelevant were talking about Bakugo here and Bakugo didn't show any sign of major fatigue only his hands were throbbing from using explosions for 8 hours

What do you mean by a different fight? The fight took place around the Endeavor Agency Arc and this is War Arc Bakugo. Nothing changes the fact that the fight did happen

Knuckles will only chase if Bakugo is running away from the fight, why would Bakugo be running away? In terms of Stamina feats of already proved why Bakugo takes that, you're saying "His body is definitely more made for stamina considering how fast he constantly moves without any sign of tiring." doesn't mean a thing. That's not a stamina feat
Not to mention Bakugou won't run away forever with his personality.
The thing is Bakugo won't run OOC and makes no sense SBA means he wants to win, I don't see why he would run away

Why are you using feats from later arcs than the one being used in this match?
 
Because I didn't argue Knuckles would win? His page was clearly rushed out before any movie 2 feats were calculated, he will probably just scale higher
I was just going to mention that too, since the verse is getting a major revision with the new content from the 2nd movie yet we already got a Knux profile without full updating the pre-existing profiles and Tails doesn't even have a profile yet plus like @Theuser789 said Knux will probably scale higher.
 
no it was because knux's profile was lacking and new, now that it had a ton of revisions this match should be fine
"A ton of revisions"
Barring images, it's only had one revision, that being uncharged Knuckles going to 9-A, which isn't relevant to this match
besides, a planned CRT that will hopefully be pushed out soon will upgrade charged Knux and make this match not work anyways
