Going to be honest with you. I had full expectations that Lucy was easily going to be crushed right from the very start, but it seems like luck has other plans. I don't think Overclock is even necessary here, but I could be very wrong.

First off, given Sonic's moveset, it's safe to say that he's definitely a melee fighter who likes to get up close and personal. Against Lucy however, getting up close is the last thing he should do. Given her gun and Tanker Pike, as well as her flamethrower, Sonic will be hard pressed to approach the mechanical marvel. Even if he figures out that she can be attacked from the back, not only will that be difficult given that Lucy is now equal speed with Sonic, meaning she could just turn around, but she also has several Napalm Orbs which have a pretty high AOE, and while Sonic could tank the physical damage of them, he can't tank their heat at all (He has no resistance to heat at all from what I'm seeing.) That, and her Bright Bulbs can blind Sonic if she needs to do that.

Secondly, whenever she uses her flamethrower or rocket feet, she spews out smoke, and especially with her rocket feet immediately using up 5% of the gas reserves, the amount of smoke on the battlefield within a short timeframe will be troublesome, especially when it's stated in her research that the smoke she spews is lethal to organic life. The timeframe of lethality is unknown, but even in a short timespan, Sonic should, at worst, be getting weaker after a short timeframe from inhaling it. That, and enough smoke is another temporary form of blinding Sonic (Until he probably makes a tornado by running really fast to dissipate it.)

Speaking of speed, their equalization, alongside Lucy's Tank-based style, is probably going to screw Sonic over. After all, what's stopping Lucy from simply getting a good grapple and using her significantly higher LS advantage to keep him in place and burn him to death point blank?

I have more to say, I'll let CCMBEROTTERFN respond. Overall though, she wouldn't need Overclock and the massive temporary speed boost it provides to beat out the Blue Blur more times than not.
