Talk:Mephiles the Dark VS Sir Lancelot/@comment-24530269-20190421135434

Okayyy, I'm sorry but ... no.

Shadow isn't necessarily the same person as Lancelot. Granted Lancelot has sword training but Meph has regen which means he should regenerate from severed body parts fairly easily.

Heck, Mephiles could even return from being completely obliterated, so I don't buy a simple Chaos Blast doing him in.

Heck, even erasure wasn't enough to put him down, as Sonic Runners confirmed.

"But Sonic Runners isn't canon"

Prove it. What explicit statement by Sega, or in-game statement confirms the game is non-canon? Oh and btw "Nothing implies it's canon" doesn't work at all. Let's say that Mr. Miyamoto never said anything about Mario's canonicity, aight? Then said argument would be equal to saying Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario Party Advance, Yoshi's Safari etc. aren't canon because nothing implies they are. Non-mainstream games =/= noncanon by default. I know you didn't say anything about this but I'm dropping that here just in case you would.

Simply because Lancelot is an alternate version of Shadow doesn't mean he is Shadow in terms of power. That's blatant assumptions there, and simply because Shadow beat Mephiles once doesn't mean he always will, or is automatically more powerful.

Overall, this battle makes no sense to me and its conclusion relies on blatant assumptions and rather bizarre logic. I know I like Mephiles alot which might make this comment look like salt, but it isn't. I generally don't buy this fight, and have so many problems with it.
