FINALLY. Too bad Sonic is shackled by Robotnik. If this were Sonic/Knuckles vs. Mario/Bowser it might be a fair fight. I could see Sonic beating Mario just because of THE RIVALRY -- how sad is it Mario and Sonic finally meet after 9 years in a tag team contest -- but the likeliest scenario is Mario pounding Sonic into the ground, especially after all the perceived duds over the last ten years.
You seriously think Knuckles would let Sonic beat (or even come close to) Mario? Knuckles wasn't even in the two most played Sonic games! And even if he were, nothing would let Sonic beat Mario besides us all time-travelling back 15-18 years.
I'm not really feeling the Alucard hype. What's he done recently? SotN is 14 years old and I don't think it's really thought of as well as it once was, though I could be wrong there. Granted, that's a terrible division so I could see them taking it (as well as at least four other pairings).
