@Johnbobb I need your help here

And I also need everyone else's opinions while we're at it

Does this match look fair?

---

Sonic the Hedgehog is as he appears across the Sonic series, with full access to all his showings seen therein except for Super Sonic feats, as he cannot achieve that super mode or any other. He is equipped with the Custom Shoes from Sonic 2006 and the Red, Blue and Green gems from that game, as well as <GIMMICK>, and <GIMMICK>.

~VS~

Lloyd Irving is as he appears in Tales of Symphonia. He is equipped with the Material Blade, has all of his EX Skills, and has access to all of his techniques, including Falcon Crest.

Terrain: Warring City Lumina Cloth - The Root Town of Omega Server, Lumina Cloth is basically a giant, lofty bridge between the territories of Icolo and the Arena, which has a smaller pathway encompassing the structure. The Chaos Gate is gone, no one is around, and access to the @home and Arena are forbidden. Everything else is fair game. Attackers will start at the entryway, with defenders starting behind the arena.

And here's where I need John's advice. Sonic can choose two gimmicks from the following list:

-Sonic & The Black Knight: Caliburn sword and all its skills (including Soul Surge).
-Sonic 2006: Remaining four Gems for the custom shoes.
-Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric: Enerbeam, plus all of the game's weapons.
-Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice: Fire Mode and Ice Mode.
-Sonic Colors: One of each Wisp, activatable at any time.

Out of these I'm thinking about picking the Caliburn and Enerbeam + gunz from Rise of Lyric, but I wanted to get an expert's opinion. The idea is to round out Sonic's toolkit so he can do a bit more than just his usual 'run really fast and ram into people' stuff. Thoughts?

(If anybody thinks this matchup is very stompy in Lloyd's favor, lemme know too. The idea is to see if we can make Sonic kinda competitive within his tier, instead of a trap merc.)

Shine on, you crazy diamond.
