Talk:Shadow VS Silver/@comment-27921095-20190716034247

As much as people put stock in Shadow, I'm actually gonna go with Silver. If all incarnations are used, he can open portals, time travel, teleport, screw with other's minds, paralyze others with his TK, can lift more, has projectiles to counter Shadow's, and van seal people and objects inside small bubbles of his PK, and he has a better flight option for more battlefield control. He can also transmutate others with Ring Time.

The only thing he lacks and doesn't have or can't counter in Shadow's arsenal is the time stop, and Shadow can last longer with stuff like the auto-ressurect item he can hold in Chronicles, I believe. He also has less skill in H2H combat, although we've seen him able to match Shadow's blows and leave Shadow panting after his boss fight, implying they're pretty close regardless. Shadow can amplify his stats for brief periods of time, but they ultimately drain his stamina almost every time, and should he take the inhibitor rings off, he'd have to end the fight quick, otherwise he's left drained. It also doesn't help that Chaos Blast is easily anticipated and can be avoided, or the fact any form Shadow gets will be avoided if Silver just rewinds time on him by going back through time. Silver is also effective at making technology malfunction, so half of Shadow's arsenal and even his Jet Shoes may be rendered null. This is also without mentioning Archie when Silver can redirect and manipulate Chaos Energy as well, which is how he countered Enerjak.

It's a close fight, and both are willing to go for the killing blows, especially Silver when his mind is set on disposing of those who "get in his way".
