Except that in terms of evaluating a matchup, CPUs aren't who you want to play against. What you do want is two human players. As for this matchup, I'd say it's just as even as it was in Brawl.
You don't know pain and humiliation until you face a level 9 Mario. Mario's easy to chain combos and average speed combined with his range in offense and defense make him a dangerous contender. Mario could easily end Sonic after he uses his Spring Jump if he's far enough away. However, Sonic's speed combined with the endless possibilites of Spin Dash and Homing Attack make him nasty when played expertly. In away, they are opposites and a match between a master of both could go either way. While Sonic has more moves tnat leave him an open target before and after, espicially that huge amount of frames after you land his down air smash, he more than makes up with his speed and powerful knock back present in his up and back air smashes.
