Well, you seem very adamant about your position, which is why I would love the experience.
I thought about that as well, but Japan is also insane and thinks Sonic is the second best character in the game, so their perceptions of our character are rather warped though.
These are a lot of things I noticed in the match up as well.
55 :45 seems about right. I feel it's slightly in Sonic's favor but it could be anywhere from 50:50 to 60:40 Sonic. Definitely not an unwinnable matchup for Wario. I feel like the more creative player wins here.
He said he thinks the MU is even on reddit. His reasoning is "bite". x_x

since I don't use her, soooo...
Or +1 however you guys rate it. Zelda can kill but she's hard pressed to keep Sonic from dragging her across the stage while trying to hit him. Idk about custom Sonic but I've seen hammer spin dash in video so I assume things just get worse for Zelda cause her customs are ass lol
40:60
60:40 or 55:45 Mega Man's favor. Lemons stop Sonic's grounded approaches pretty hard and so does Leaf Shield, as mentioned before. Sonic in general has a bad approach game and has mediocre ways of getting around strong zoning, he's got the speed to bypass our lemons but doesn't have any safe approaches to come with it. None of his aerials are safe on block and he lacks a reflector or a projectile of his own to counter-camp with, he has many ways of mixing up his approach (spinshots, instant spindash jump, etc.) but none of said ways are safe and are easy to punish if we know what you're gonna do, you can't play rushown like Sheik or Pikachu and you have to play a heavy bait and punish game. Also, considering how awful your landing options are, I hope you like getting Up Aired everytime you're above us. Our Fsmash can catch your Spring > Dair too. What you do have going for yourselves over us though, are a much better damage output, better kill moves (although you lack kill setups), a hard-to-gimp recovery, superior frame data, and better close range abilities. If you can get in and find oppurtunities for your spindash combos, you'll be racking up twice as much damage as we can in neutral and while our landing options aren't as bad as yours, you still catch us with spindash and combo and juggle for days. Overall though, while Sonic may win the advantage, he resets to neutral a lot, and Mega Man just wins the neutral game and I think its even at worst for us. Don't really see Sonic wnning it at all to be honest.
Lemon wall alert.55:45
I love your post in its entirety, except for one word. "Spinner." Sonic is the Blue "Blur" and Mega Man is the Blue Bomber.
So, the company wars, the battle for the title of the blue mascot, how does it goes overall? Pretty even-ish, but with the Bomber getting some goodies over the Spinner.
The first thing to note here is that Mega is unique in the overall fighting style agaisn't Sonic because we do NOT have to guess as badly as others characters to catch Sonic into his spindash, lemons and disjointeds are two things we have that cover his main approaches, Air Shooter covering some "mindgames" trying to jump over our lemons in the bait.
But! Not everything is bright and easy for the Blue robot, if Sonic gets in, you'll eat some big punish because of his combo options, but do not be too afraid, since when it comes to the killing part, it's probably the part where everything gets bright for Mega.
Sonic does NOT have a reliable kill option agaisn't Mega, at all. We do not EVER have to be in the range of his FSmash, his USmash is slow, and the rest of his options are pretty obvious overall. While we have some pretty good momemtum breaker inputs (USmash, Air Shooter, Slash Claw, etc). But if the Mega gets caught and dies first, the battle'll become an uphill fight, VERY difficult to come back from, be worried about that.
It's actually how I would think a MM/Sonic fight would be, Mega Man has the sturdyness and with enough time he can beat the outstanding speed of Sonic, but you do NOT want to get confident, since that hedgehog does indeed have the tools to take him out first if not careful.
Ps: Lylat or Castle Siege are good stage options agaisn't MM, in case you want to CP him.
And I totally agree, this is exactly how a battle between the Blue Blue and Blue Bomber goes.55:45 Ditto on what he said.
55:45 in my opinion. Sonic, like in most match ups, is going to be looking for punish opportunities, which is particularly difficult here since Mega Man has so many ways to keep him out. I feel like both characters can camp each other pretty well. Whoever takes that first stock is going to have a big advantage. Additionally, I played this MU recently and learned a couple things that Sonic can do against Mega Man.
Elevator aside Zelda can generally start killing around 90% on most light weights (guaranteed if she has rage) its just a matter if landing those hits that KO which can be hard to land on Sonic unless he like whiffs Usmash
Most Mega Man players hope people will hold on to their Metal Blade. It prevents you from using your standard attacks.
Why don't you call it Elevator? Genuinely curious, cause that's what all us other Zelda gorls call it
Genuinely. Funny.
Things to Know; Spindash does wonders for pressure, because it's tricky for Zelda to punish (watch out for the Ladder, as that has insane kill potential if you get too greedy). Sonic can run circles around Zelda due to poor airspeed and lack of aerial options. Sonic can upthrow combo, and I might be wrong but with a good DI guess Up throw Spring Up Air kills pretty early. Zelda cannot approach Sonic confidently, leaving you to control the pace of the match. Play safe, and don't get predictable.Things to Know; Not much. Nayru's Love can't beat spin dash unless timed very well, and even then it clashes and he can punish, so you gotta use well timed down tilts and up tilts to catch him. Sonic will run the match, No doubt, so be prepared to have to run away and tack on percent with peekaboo dash attacks, dash grabs and tilts. That's it. Approaching sonic is a losing bet, so just be on your feet and punish mistakes as hard as possible. Good Luck; You'll need it.

55:45 sonics up b can break out of combos his speed can punish any mistakes mario makes he can spin dash shield cancel fireballs and gimp marios recovery however mario can stop spindash and gimp sonic due due how sonic is one of the most safest charecters in the game mario has a hard time dealing with him
vs: 55:45 in Sonic's favor slighty. Because Sonic is so fast and safe, its hard for Mario to punish and kill him. Spindash can help Sonic combo Mario, and camping with fireballs is something for Sonic to get through by SH spindash. While Mario can juggle better and can land easier than Sonic, Mario can't beat Sonic up-air when he's above him. Sonic's gimps, ledgeguards, and recovery are better than Mario, even with his cape and fludd on his side. SH n-air, d-air and maybe b-air(if spaced correctly) can stop Sonic's spindash approach and Mario's approaches are better than Sonic's.
VS 
I strongly agree on these sentiments regarding frame data. Along these same lines, however, fireballs aren't quite as strong as you make them out to be. Coincidentally, fireball is one of Mario's few really laggy moves among his lightning quick arsenal. Power shielding them leaves plenty of room to punish. They don't control the neutral nearly as well as Luigi's fireballs or Sheik's needles, especially against someone as fast as Sonic. They still give Mario a notable advantage when it does come to the neutral game, but it's nothing overbearing.
I guess his frame data and his fireball make it hard for Sonic to approach and find the good timing to punish. In this matchup, I feel the bait and punish game of Mario is over the Sonic's one notably due to the fireballs.
I've played good Mario and bad Mario, the difference between them was the fact that the good ones can:
- Stop the spins
- Constently bait using their knowledge of the frame data resulting in preventing me to find the timing to punish
- gimp properly or land a set up endind in a Fair Spike
I feel that Mario has the advantage as his game can leave so little windows for Sonic to punish. Plus, his fireballs can force you to get close to him in the way he is willing you to do it. I guess there's no place on the stage where you're safe against a Mario.
However, if they miss their recovery they can be hard punished.
