yeah i think Fierce Diety Link that also has the experience of all Links with access to all items and masks and max hearts would body most characters, not just Noble Nine members

I still think Sonic would have the edge if he has the Chaos Emeralds just because it basically makes him invincible, but then you'd have to dip into "what if Mario had unlimited power stars lol"

I shouldn't even be typing this shit out it's just gonna turn this into a very bad Mercs topic

We just call that a Mercs topic, buddy.

And the basis of reasoning is "I'm sure that Sonic has some weird crap in the comics that overpowers him to Hell" because what even in Sonic canon.

My first thought was Dante because I initially read it as most powerful contest character in general.

Once I read the topic title correctly, I thought of Sonic.

I mean to be fair, if we gave Mega Man all the powers he ever got then he's obviously a good contender, just most people probably won't think of that.
