Talk:Mario vs Shadow/@comment-27921095-20190716030052

I disagree. Mario mot having a counter to Super? He has plenty if you want to use gane mechanics and a few feats on par with Super characters.

You used Sonic X, but we could similarly then use the Sports games (which are more canon than Sonic X) which gives Mario another time stop/slow option. Also, Shadow has only used a time stop once without an Emerald and it only lasted barely 10 seconds. As fpr teleporting? Mario has dealt with magikoopas and teleporting foes before, and Magikoopas were described as "vanishing and appearing in an instant" in their descriptions in SMB3 or SMW.

Aa for Shadow being more aggressive? Sure? Mario has been shown as being pretty ruthless and determined when someone picks a fight with him, though, so tenacity isn't much of an issue.

Shadow only has speed if you believe in statements about Sonic's speed, and even then, Mario can react to magikoopa magic which was described in their debut as "flashes of light" as well as having dodged lasers, even in SMB3 from Bowser Statues.

But it was still pretty good, and this is simply MY opinion, and I do respect yours.
