I don't see how that shield would protect him from someone running at super sonic speeds while shooting nukes at the same time or someone who can go at hypersonic speeds to light speeds.

I don't think you under stand. The nukes only do 200 units of damage to her varia suit. With the gravity suit, it's 100 units of damage now. With the phazon suit added into the mix, it's 20 units of damage, and with her dark suit, light suit, P.E.D. suit, and Hazard suit upgrades, etc it's less.

Also, I would like to point out that she has been shot by weaponry like this which makes a large explosion. (Note, the only reason why she dodges here is because she wants to protect her friends)

Yet, when mulitiple shots hit Samus here. All they did was reflect back. This was in her basic powersuit. It wasn't upgraded by the varia suit nor the gravity suit.

If the Ryno V is really that dangerous, she can just destroy all the shots fired towards her via the power bomb. And she's not going to run out of powerbombs soon.

I'm aware that the gravitron is unavoidable, but you would have to be aware of that

a) As I said before, Samus going at super sonic speeds would be too fast for Ratchet. 343m/s at minimum and about 1700m/s at max. She would be too fast for Ratchet to see, let alone hit.

b) The groovitron has limited range. So, using the shinespark technique, she can avoid the range of the groovitron

c) Her allies can shoot the thing

I don't think the mag-net would entrap her if she can easily rip through steel and lift above 20 metric tons. Sonic can just teleport out of it via chaos control

Also,  why can't Samus do the same thing back to Ratchet with the Darkburst against the Rift Ripper 5000? The darkburst is a portal that rips people into oblivion while sending them into a dark dimension. Sonic on the other hand can just teleport back.

While Samus can achieve supersonic speeds, get away and shoot Ratchet from a large distance, the shield would still protect him. If the shield breaks, he doesn't take any more damage unless he turns it back on. Also, if Samus does want to shoot from far away, Ratchet can deploy a barrier that blocks incoming damage. And if she dares to get close to it, it'll drain her health. Sure, she had faced life-sucking Metroids, but prolongued exposure to the leeching abilities of the shield can weaken her. Also:

"The Mag-Net Launcher was a weapon that shot clusters of ionized raritanium orbs which wrapped electromagnetic nets, cleverly named mag-nets, around enemies. The nets' magnetism held them securely around their victim while the electricity paralyzed their victim until the orbs lost their electromagnetic charge. This gave the weapon's user a chance to attack the temporarily disabled enemy or to escape while the enemy was imprisoned." (R&C Wiki)

She might have all that strength, but it's not from steel the nets are made of. I doubt she can break free out of an electromagnetic web. Bigger and stronger enemies were trapped innit, and they couldn't escape after the effect worn off. That's enough time for a considerable amount of damage to her.

While the Groovitron does have a short range, Ratchet doesn't have to wait for her to dash away for him to use it. He can use it when she gets close. Sonic will have to get close and eventually succumb to it. Also, the Groovitron can't be destroyed. If it was possible, it would've happened in the game.

Also, not even Sonic nor Samus will be able to teleport back with the Rift Ripper 5000. Like I said, the gun spawns a interdimensional monster with tentacles. If they're dancing and/or trapped with the Mag-Net Launcher, the monster, Fred, can just grab them with its tentacles, drag them to the other dimension and eat them. No teleporting there.

This discussion can go on and on if you want. I've played the whole series numerous times, taking many powerful attacks by trial and error, and still survived. I gotta say that from my experience, Ratchet can defeat Samus.
