Eh, not really. Outside of using the World Rings of Rage, Hatred and Sadness and being within the World of the Arabian Nights, he's never assumed the form otherwise- and in canon, he's only ever used the Chaos Emeralds to turn into Super Sonic. There was that Dark Sonic thing in Sonic X as well granted, but it was non-canon, only lasted about 10 seconds or so, and the form's abilities were never shown. Even then, Darkspine Sonic wouldn't ultimately let him win in the long run even if he did use it, as previously mentioned.

Although he becomes stronger hand-to-hand, has no time limit and does gain pyrokinetic abilities granted, he can still be damaged normally as shown in the game itself, and he's considerably slower than Super Sonic, which would leave him more open to being counterattacked by Meta Knight rather than being able to temporarily force him onto the defence with invincibility like Super Sonic could.

But yes, I'm glad you can see that Meta Knight would win now, but Sonic would definitely put up a good fight, I'd say. Not denying that for a moment, and it does suck to see your preferred character lose, I know that all too well.
