Silver and Gold

* As Silver’s rival, he needs to be on around equal ground with him ability-wise.

* He does not have psychokinesis or chronomancy; in the context of StS, the former is an extremely rare trait amongst Mobians, and the latter was something Silver obtained under specific circumstances that Gold wouldn’t be likely to replicate.

* Gold is not as troubled as Silver, at least not initially. He’s also aware of Silver’s abilities and what he’s willing to do (like psychokinetically crush people into pulp), and is justifiably wary around him.
