Sonic vs Pikachu

Status
Not open for further replies.
No one seems to relize sonic didn't actualy try to help pikachu. He just didn't go fast enough. But still, given the chance Im sure they would help each other.
 
Hrmm. Sonic has quite a bit of variety but I'm not sure how in character it is for him to use those power ups. Sonic would likely count as normal type so type immunities probably won't mean much. Pikachu has status effects, AOE, and a Low 7-C attack that can one-shot Sonic if he manages to hit with it. Going with him for now.
 
Sonic uses the Insta-Electro Shield to tank far more easily Pikachu´s attacks.

There are some movs that could put Sonic in trouble however:

- Iron Tail: Sonic can simply do a Drop Dash on it, then quickly regain momentum to Spin Dash on Pikachu

- Electroweb: Sonic may be distracted for a moment while attemping to get out, which can allow Pikachu to just do an Iron Tail on him, but Sonic can Spin Dash on it to break it and escape (assuming he still has the Electro Shield still on).

- Catastropika: Sonic can even counter this by either dodging it or just homing attacking it, so long he still has the Electro Shield on him, then again.

And then there is his transmutation, which can surely one shot Pikachu.

Did I miss anything?

Voting to Sonic fo now.
 
The electricity shield does pose quite the issue to Pikachu.
 
Not against stuff of their own element, or his forcefield. His forcefield needs to be timed, but electrical stuff does absolutely nothing to the electrical shield, fire shield grants flame immunity, and the timed forcefield gives him a few I-frames. That's how it was in S3K, at least.
 
Yeah, but one hit from a tackle or an iron tail and it's gone. Then Pikachu wins via the reasons I already stated.

Yeah but he can still requip shields, and still has access to things like Ring Time and Time Break

Wouldn't he need to find another power up somewhere? And I don't know if ring time is all that in-character for him.
 
The low 7-C attack probably isn't going to one shot considering it's just double damage and Pokemon's not the type of verse where relatively small multipliers matter to that degree alone.

AOE is nullified by electric shield due to being electricity

You're gonna have to elaborate more than just generic status effects.


I'm thinking Sonic's got the better chances right now, what with not having most of his kit shut out and all.

In that case then it'll still hurt more than any other attack. Also, don't think the shield would survive that either, due to it being stronger then anything it's ever tanked.

Fair. Still, one hit from iron tail or tackle and it's gone.

Paralysis. Then again, shields exist on sonic's side so....
 
I mean, you can tank more than one electrical attack with it at the same time just fine. Idk how we'd co Sider this though.

So he dodges, or uses his instashield, or reapplies one, or just starts hitting Pikachu since those attacks require a commitment. He still has regular durability.

That's linked to electricity I believe.
 
Cal put them both at 8-A so he wouldn't have the low 7-C stuff anyways, though I don't think it'd be unfair to give it to him.
 
@Wright

Ring Time and Time Break are abilities, not Power Ups

Also we have them scattered in fights? Always assumed the characters have them on person? Regardless his other shields can still protect him even from only one attack and even requip the Electro Shield back. and like Woke said his timed shield can gives him protection as well.
 
It's still an 8-A sheild against a low 7-C attack. If a character can absorb energy, can he absorb energy that's above his shown highest amount?

Gonna need proof that it can be reapplied on a whim like that. In my experience, he's always had to go find another one afterwards.

Fair point.

How would he even find more in New York?
 
You can equip more than one electric shield at once, at least you could in generations.
 
It's not 3 at once, he can just pop another once one breaks. He doesn't even need a special move to pop then, just not electricity.
 
Yeah, I think the electricity shields are Sonic's biggest advantage here. Even if Pikachu does take out 3 of them, I think it'd be enough time for Sonic to have a game-plan in motion for that. Going for Sonic FRA.

Quick question: Classic Sonic scales to 224 tons, right?
 
Sonic's electric shields are his best bet, but I doubt it's enough for him to win. Even if he equips 3 at once, Pikachu still only has to hit him with a non-electric attack three times. Which shouldn't be that hard. Sonic is also gonna be having a hard time hitting Pikachu thanks to double team. And even if he does hit Pikachu, Barrier, Light Screen, Protect and Subsitute will significantly reduce that damage. Plus, I'm pretty sure Pikachu has the AP advantage. Voting Pikachu.
 
Switching back to Pikachu. Feint deals with shields, double team makes it harder to be hit, more defensive options, paralysis, etc.

Pikachu can´t use Feint on the air as far I know, so Sonic can just dodge it by jumping.

He can hit flying pokemon with it. Even if he jumps, way to high for pikachu to hit, he could just wait until sonic lands.
