Name: Sonic vs.Silver |
Sonic and Silver fight each other as the second boss of each of their respective stories in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). For Sonic, the boss is listed as Silver the Hedgehog, while for Silver it's listed as Sonic the Hedgehog.
Having just liberated Princess Elise from Eggman's clutches by fleeing through Dusty Desert, Sonic and the human are walking through Soleanna Castle Town on the way back to the palace. Amy and Silver, also having just been to the desert (ableit the wrong part) in search for Sonic, finally spy him in a resturant plaza, and Silver dives in to complete his mission for Mephiles and kill the Iblis Trigger.
Strategy
The fight is often considered more difficult in Sonic's story than in Silver's; the CPU-controlled Silver can and does snatch Sonic out of the air mid-Homing-Attack with psychokinesis, an ability conspicuously lacking when the player is controlling Silver. Fighting Silver also includes a notorious impossible-to-escape situation where the CPU Silver can trap Sonic against a wall (or even against the sky) and simply keep telekinetically bashing the rings out of him until you lose a life. A successful strategy as Sonic requires the player to keep well away from Silver until the futuristic hedgehog is glowing green, having already picked up a brace of throw-able chairs or barrels. In this state Silver cannot block Sonic's homing attack, enabling damage to be dealt.
When playing as Silver, simply pick up the scenery at every opportunity and hurl breakable objects at Sonic. His Homing Attack is almost impossible to evade, so simply make sure you always have at least one ring, and keep breaking chairs over Sonic's head to chip down his health bar bit by bit.
Aftermath
Perhaps reflecting the gameplay difficulty of Sonic's fight, the subsequent cutscene seems to show Silver gaining the upper hand in the battle from both perspectives. Robotnik's floating platform re-captures Elise, distracting Sonic and allowing Silver to knock the blue blur down. A killing blow is only averted by Amy's intervention, standing in Silver's way and giving Sonic the chance to escape.
