Talk:Cinder's Team vs Team Dark/@comment-27518422-20190626131100

I'm rooting and betting Team Dark. Shadow would be way too fast and strong for even the powers of a Fall Maiden. Illusions might cause trouble, but I am not one hundred percent sure they'd work on a machine or if Team Dark would allow Emerald to set up.

The likeliness is Shadow and Cinder rush each other, with Shadow taking the lead in speed, strength(?), experience and arsenal; Cinder's use of Glass, Grimm features and Maiden powers come second to Shadow's Chaos powers, Inhibitor Rings (if he needs them), etc.

Rouge would likely take on Mercury, and that seems to be the only match scenario where Team Cinder take a win. Rouge is supreme in speed, but Mercury wouldn't have much trouble reacting to it. Sure, Ruby's semblance is a little inconsistent, but its speed is still great and Merc blocked it with a single boot. Mercury is analytical, and would be able to decipher Rouge's patterns before landing some potentially dangerous counters.

Emerald vs Omega would essentially be the support units going toe to toe. Emerald's nimble speeds may offer her an advantage, but Omega is no slouch. His speed outclasses her and in Sonic 06 - he was supposed to be strong enough to top Shadow in a fight (though that may have been Mephiles talking rubbish).

Even then, if Shadow sees his team struggling, he'd likely call on Chaos Control or even Chaos Blast to clean up after them. I think once Cinder is neutralised, Team Dark begin to take control. Omega's range, Shadow's speed and Rouge's outright skill all combined would spell the end for Team Cinder.
