Conclusion: USA.

So the F-22 and the Su-35 prove to be two planes of significantly different eras. The Su-35 carries more missiles, can fly farther, and is significantly cheaper. The Su-35 is a reworking of earlier Sukhoi models that have proven efficacy in traditional dogfighting, while the F-22 is the first-ever truly fifth-generation fighter jet.

Battles that occur when the two planes are within visual range of each other seem to slightly favor the Russian jet, on paper, but the training and support US pilots recieve is second to none. So a one-on-one dogfight between an F-22 and a Su-35 would essentially be a toss up that comes down to the particular skill of the individual pilot.

But the F-22 wants no part in traditional dogfighting, and, importantly, air-to-air encounters begin beyond visual range.

A single Su-35 simply stands little chance against an F-22 because the US jets employ far superior stealth technology. While an Su-35 could potentially find an F-22 at distance using thermal imaging, the limitations of those systems mean it would be like "looking through a drinking straw" at the wide open skies for the stealthy US plane. 

F-22 pilots need not worry about out-turning or out-foxing the agile Su-35, as they could find and target the aircraft from much farther away and end the dogfight before it starts.

Historically, US-made planes have battered Russian-made ones, and the newest generation of US warplanes reimagines aerial combat in such a way that future pilots won't even have to get their hands dirty to deter or defeat the enemy.
