Sonic and Shadow face off in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, requiring a breakdown of their comparative powers in the film franchise. The two hedgehogs have done battle many times before, from various video games to the Sonic X anime to comic book adaptations, making it all the more exciting to see the pair go head-to-head on the big screen.
The film generally depicts Shadow as having more access to chaos powers, giving him some additional perks Sonic doesn't have. Though Sonic and his pals haven't yet found their chemistry working as a team, it doesn't seem like it can make much of a difference against Shadow. In their base forms, he wipes the floor with them completely. Even with the ultra-fast Sonic, Shadow is operating on another level and defeats them without suffering a scratch. The teleporting ability alone appears to put Team Sonic in disarray, and he's able to appear next to them with enough momentum to land devastating blows on them.
Posts The fight here seems to demonstrate that Sonic is holding something back in most fights. Generally, Shadow's rage and desire for vengeance pushes him to fight with his entire force at all times, while Sonic is far more merciful.
Sonic's kinder and more empathetic nature arguably limits his strength, and it's only when he loses control that he manages to beat Shadow. This might mean that Sonic has the capacity to beat Shadow, but it was also a one-off strike that Shadow wasn't expecting, which isn't representative of their baseline capabilities. Shadow appears to be capable, more often than not, of defeating his hedgehog rival without much struggle.
