Alright, listen up! Sonic takes this battle without breaking a sweat. The dude's got a power of 10 across the board, but what really gives him the edge is that warp-speed ability. He can stop time, mess with Knuckles in creative, dangerous ways, and when he restarts time, BAM! All that chaos hits Knuckles hard. The echidna might be tough with brute strength, but at 0 speed and guard, he can't even keep up with Sonic, let alone defend against those pranks. And while he’s losing his mind over the time-stopping tricks, Sonic's just zoomin' around, waiting to unleash that supercharge. So yeah, with his speed and chaotic skillset, Sonic leaves Knuckles in the dust—literally and figuratively!
