Look, this ain't just about speed, it's about power and durability too. Metal Sonic's got a solid 32 power and guard, plus his freakin' boosts when he transforms into Neo Metal Sonic—those give him a leg up like no other. Sonic.exe might have the speed, but without any serious guard and that low power score, he's just a target waiting to get smashed! Sonic.exe might think he’s hot stuff with his demon vibes and all, but against a well-rounded machine like Metal Sonic, he's gonna get wrecked. Metal can strategize, analyze, and copy that speed. Once he figures out Sonic.exe's trickery, he’ll blast right through him with sheer power. So yeah, the winner is clear, Metal Sonic takes this one hands down!
