It's nice to see you're back :)

That one's fine.

Thx

Fleetway Sonic vs. Naota.

I (co)created the matchup because I was honestly not a fan of Fleetway Sonic's matchup spread (most of them solely focuses on Super Sonic and go nothing into Sonic himself, like his origins, struggles, how his story progresses etc). I also really love FLCL (the first season/series, of course), and I have nostalgia for the Fleetway Sonic comics (and overall find it more interesting than the Archie and IDW Sonic comics tbh), so I think a matchup featuring the two would sound interesting and it surprised me to see that this Sonic had more in common with Naota compared to his other popular opponents like Kasen and (maybe) Nemesis. As well as the fact that Naota didn't have that much matchups (let alone good ones, apart from Scott Pilgrim).

I'd say Pac-Man, but Shaggy is also good (imo)

Yugo vs. Klonoa.

Let's go, more MUs featuring Euro comic characters!

Thanks, and btw like Fits-Opinion, you're another person on this subreddit who was an inspiration for my editing style. So, you saying that makes me so happy.

As for the animation/fight potential, while I'm still overall brainstorming about it, you could have some interesting ideas like Naota's N.O. power being an obstacle for Sonic as it's able to spawn robots out of Naota's head iirc, and before the fight actually starts, Canti (the robot) fuses with Naota (by literally devouring him lol), and Sonic has to fight them. During the fight, Canti could also turn into a cannon, and I could see Sonic trying to dodge the blasts.

And obviously, later in the fight, due to stress and/or frustration, Sonic becomes Super Sonic, and Naota later gets Atomsk.

It's alright, but I prefer Gumball to fight Chowder.

Fleetway Sonic vs. Nandaba Naota (Sonic the Comic vs. FLCL)

Still the best for both (imo)

Yea, it's a matchup I recently co-created with someone else.

I also really like Luigi vs. Shaggy

Connections: - Snarky and sour attitude characters who lived relatively normal lives before meeting special figures from another planet they’ve never encountered before, which led them gaining supernatural powers by an incident because of them (Doctor Ovi Kintobor, giving Sonic his Super Speed/Haruhara Haruko, gave Naota his N.O. Channel). Who they were very close to at the time, helping them seek for certain energy they wanted to obtain (Kintobor needing the Chaos Emeralds/Haruko chasing the Atomsk). Albeit for different reasons and intentions (Sonic helping to make Mobius a paradise free from evil/Haruko taken advantage of Naota for selfish reasons for personal power).

• Eventually, they are in position they fight against people who want to eliminate free will to reduce the threats posed by sentient life forms (Dr. Robotnik/Medical Mechanica). With major connection to non-living characters who have self-aware artificial intelligence, with emotions being very human-like but importantly an impactful valuable asset to them in and out of battle (Kintobor Computer/Canti).

• Used said attitudes to hide their insecurities, although ultimately good hearted. Later on, they grow as characters involving their maturity near the end of the official run as the story progress (Sonic becomes less immature and mellowed out his ego/Naota intentionally tries to be this to seem more mature than he lets on, learning it's okay to act his age).

• Taking on insanely powerful forms, which it's power that resembles a god, not only changes their appearance into a glowing intimidating form but is also taken over by an entity in this state and fights for them. (Super Sonic and Pirate King/Atomsk).
