It’s an age old question: “Who would win in a fight; Mario or sonic?”

Before the invention of technology it was up to us, the flesh beings, to speculate whether Mario or Sonic would cock slap the other across the face.

Now, we can have the machines do the fighting for us, and no, I don’t mean that “Mario and sonic at the Olympics” shit that Nintendo tried to use to solace the masses. I mean the REAL DEAL.

I want there to be an all out blood bath. This isn’t your Dad’s ‘pencil on paper Mario vs. Sonic’ death match. this is an all out war. I want blood stains on blood stains. By the end of the battle I want to see Mario wearing a racoon suit, except it’s not a racoon suit it’s Sonic’s Disemboweled corpse. I want to see Sonic spin dash into Mario’s chest so hard that LUIGI feels it. I want it to be so brutal that the guys from CSI spend the entire episode digging teeth out of the ceiling.

We have not reached that stage in technology yet, (although Apple is working on something.) But us flesh beings do have other ways.

Last night I decided to end the age old quarrel myself.

SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL was the vessel of carnage. Two Level 9 CPU’s going at it. one Mario, one Sonic. The stage was “Final Destination.” 99 Stock. First to run out of stock loses. The only rule was to kick ass. It was an epic fight, I must admit, and I was surprised how even the game was.

It began at 9:50pm and it ended at 12:37am. It lasted a whopping 167 minutes and 42 seconds. That’s right; over two hours of nonstop BWEEE! and “Lessa go!”. Every ten minutes I would record the stock count for each.

It was amazing. Both level nine CPU’s were insanely good, not necessarily because they could hit the other guy hard, but because they AVIODED being hit hard. The majority of the game consisted of dodging and rolling and barely any combat at all. It was like… SERIOUS Dragonball Z shit.

The game began very even. At 0 minutes, both players had 99 stock. At ten minutes, Mario had 91 stock and Sonic had 92. At 20 minutes, They were tied once again with 86 stock. after 13 kills each they were still neck in neck.

I myself am a Mario fan, and I was rooting for Mario, regardless I still felt Sonic would win. First off, Final destination (though the most logical stage for an epic fight) is designed in Sonic’s favor, he can easily spin dash left and right across the course and Mario can do very little to stop him. Not to mention the annoying lip on final destination that repeatedly killed Mario because he got caught under it.

Whenever the Mario CPU wasn’t in combat he would charge his FLUDD. Which was odd to me. It makes sense, sure, but do you know how many times he used it? This many. You can’t see me but I’m making a “0″ with my fingers. Also, I just need to point out that the Sonic CPU is the cheapest edge guarding bastard I have ever seen. Half the game consisted of Mario trying to recover and Sonic bitch slapping him off screen over and over again.

60 minutes are up. Mario’s stock count reads 66, sonic has 62. Mario is up by four.

110 minutes, Mario has 41 stock, and sonic has 32. A nine stock difference puts Mario way ahead. The final Destination song is also starting to really get on my nerves.

140 minutes. 21 to 16. There’s now only a difference of 5. Sonic is catching up. I swear to god If I here “you’re too slow!” one more time i’m going to kill someone. Why do CPU’s taunt? And where the hell did they find Sonic’s voice actor? “Homo” central? Is that where they found ash’s voice actor too?

160 minutes. The game is close. Mario has a big lead though. I’m surprised the two have even made it this far. 165 minutes. Sonic has one more life left. He’s going to need a miracle, or maybe some better games.

And GAME! It’s OVER MARIO WINS! The epic battle is resolved!

Here is a data table of the games progress.

I took the liberty to graph the data you can clearly see over time Mario emerges as the superior player.

I took the same graph and found the best fit lines for both CPUs.

Mario has a slope of Stock = -.54(minutes) + 99, where sonic has a slope of Stock = -.61(minutes) +99.

Here is some other interesting information:

Now I realize the only thing I have proved is that the level 9 CPU Mario is better than the level 9 CPU Sonic when playing on Final Destination. And I have only done one trial so these results aren’t completely accurate.

Still, this is the best we can do to quell the burning question.

MARIO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT AGAINST SONIC. That’s right, I said it. Shout it from the rooftops. Let the forums go crazy. Let the fanboys write strongly worded blogs and post them somewhere where they can pretend other people are actually reading it.

Huh, I wonder who would win in a fight: Master Chief or Marcus Fenix.

Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait until Super THRASH bros comes out.

You heard me Microsoft. Get on that.

Wii Virtual Console Preview – March 24. 2008 [C-]

I don’t even want to look at the games this week. At least we got a game from SquareSoft, though it’s something they made before they were rich and famous with the Final Fantasy series.
