Mario fanboys. I hate those guys.

Sonic's average nowadays is massively Hypersonic speeds, while his maximum is faster than light. NOT JUST the speed of sound. That would imply that Sonic characters remained at a constant strength throughout the entire series, a statement which has been proven blatantly untrue (Generations in particular, where he beats a foe who he previously needed to go super to defeat, in base form.)

Wario is not, and never has been, a strategist. His intelligence only applies outside of combat, otherwise he typically just rushes in and beats the snot out of anything in his way. I've PLAYED the Wario Land games, you know. Shadow, on the other hand, despite preferring not to, has shown tactical prowess, and unlike Wario, ACTUALLY HAS COMMON SENSE. The only game where Wario has ever shown any battle-smarts is Master of Disguise, and even then that's only knowing which suits were right for the situation.

Shadow's Arsenal is still superior to Wario's, despite the fact that Wario is more than durable enough to tank most of it (except Super Shadow, who's cleanly Planet-Level by Powerscaling from Super Sonic, and Chaos Control, which doesn't do damage anyway, instead teleporting and slowing down time), because his Arsenal will actually be able to be used against Wario to some effect, even if it only fazes him, unlike Wario's arsenal, which is mostly useless as Shadow will be able to avoid everything Wario attempts to use against him.
