Sonic Generations/Metal Sonic

In this first rival battle, you'll play as act 1 sonic. It takes four hits to win this rival battle. When the game begins, keep moving as if you are too slow you will fall with the falling road. Metalsonics first attack is to charge at you at a fast speed and hit you with an electric charge. Avoid this by timing your jump. Be sure not to land on him as this will hurt you instead of him. After his charge dies down, he'll be stunned for a little while. If you're too slow, he'll recover and do the attack again. Jump attack him, then be prepared for a new attack. He'll either hit these light debris in hopes of hitting you, or do an electrical discharge that is really hard to dodge. If he did lights, don't let them hit you, or you can lose precious rings. Once he is done and stunned, hit him again for the next attack. However, if he is floating above you about to do some type of discharge, then you'll have to hit him before he even does the attack. Otherwise, dodge it if you're late. The third attack is the next one after the first two attacks mentioned he might do. The fourth attack is just like the first one, only instead bigger, longer, and a little bit slower until the attack is over. Luckily, there's another set of platforms to help dodge the attack. Use the platforms as an advantage to dodge the most largest attack in the game. Once he is stunned, this is the obvious chance to finish him off. Take note that jumping towards him is useless, as sonic will just jump up instead of forward. However, hold the spin dash button to spin at him, making you be under metal sonic. Jump to end it all, and watch metal sonics defeat, and your score. Your reward: a chaos emerald! Now try to beat him again, but on hard mode.
