Sonic/megaman VS Mario/link

They fight in Gotham city for no reason other than my personal enjoyment, go!

Sonic and Megaman. Better overall/combined stats and hax.

Depends a lot on which incarnation of each character is in use and what they have access to.

Super Sonic > rest, if Chaos Emeralds are here. He's still the fastest without them.
Megaman is pretty much tied in strength with OoTLink, just with greater fire-power. As Megaman's body changes all the time, does he get to keep the powerups?

Anyhow team 1 has the fastest character and the tied strongest with a few more useful abilities than team 2.

Looking back on the Megaman threads I can't find anything official that says Megaman's opponents were at Mach 5.. though tons of unofficial posts say the exact same thing about it. Can only find the word supersonic. /shrugs

Neither supersonic nor OoT Link are mentioned, though Sonic would have to be insane fast without SS to be able to blitz OoT Link. I honestly haven't played any games since AB2, but I'll be surprised if he's above hypersonic without the emeralds.

The thing is, it depends heavily on what era of Sonic and Megaman and also Mario and Link. Mario's got some hax as shit feats.

Only cited OoT for the strength feat. Sonic is casually Ma3, and some databookthing said he's hypersonic. Also in the '06 game he gets gem items that allow him to boost his speed or slow down time without the emeralds. Outruns natural lightning in the anime 😛

Main series Sonic is the same throughout, no clue on Mario or Mega :$ Overall I wouldn't say Mario is bringing too much to the table.

06 was made noncanon. 131 Not sure where the anime sits canonwise, but typically we don't use non VG sources in VG versus, it's right in the rules. SHRUG OF JUSTICE.

Time erased yeah.. though '06 was shown in Sonic Generations to still be part of the canon.. somehow.

Actually he could very well be the strongest character here with Generations. Being able to swiftly defeat Silver and SA2B Shadow, and even Perfect Chaos while in base form, where he needed Chaos Emeralds before.

Most versions of Megaman are dangerous.

Even Legends and Legends 2.

The scene seemed to speed up/cut chunks out during the travelling part.

Well saying the scene was accelerated is speculation and a rather unfair assumption to boot, specially taking into account the fact those two robots are interstellar travelers.

Not much of a speculation or assumption as we can see it jumping ahead, like at the end where it suddenly jumps to the Earth being in view.

No this is in fact speculation and one that tries to detract from a feat of all things.

So that scene didn't jump through parts to suddenly have the Earth in view?

Only the camera seemed to follow slightly ahead in order to catch up on the moment they'd arrive on Earth, in this case even anticipating where they would land. No real indication of time speeding up whatsoever.

That'd be ignoring those jump/cuts. More important is that if the camera was anticipating or going ahead, there's nothing to even suggest if it was slightly ahead or just showing the end point.

An ambiguous artistic rendering like that is better overlooked indeed, at least when dealing with a feat on a vs. forum.

Truth is that scene only depicts a first person view of the flight, just the animation wasn't all that fluid. Now to say the scene jumped ahead in time during that part or when the camera approached the Earth in advance simply boils down to personal interpretation, nothing else really.

Why should we overlook it? If the single FTL feat is him travelling through space to Earth in a moment and the timeframe for it is unquantifiable at best, what makes this a FTL feat?

Because it's an ambiguous visual effect that could be there simply to look cool if anything. In cases like this the only way an accelerated passage of time could be verified is through narrator's input, otherwise cinematic time is the default. And on top of that those two robots are of alien origin, meaning they are from some other place at least four light-years away, which alone is enough reason not to be skeptic about them being able to cross most of the distance from Saturn to Earth in less than a minute.
