漢字を知ってるからスゴイ！！
Is he saying because he knows a kanji he is terrible? or does mean terrible or good? スゴイ
"Bad" words can be used with a non-negative connotation in English too:
She looks awfully happy.
"That dude's one sick player!"
"She's so smart it's stupid."
Or, combining, "that dude's one sick mutha!" :-)
Sorry, just wanted to play around a little. :relief:
How do you know he's referring to me?
"Bad" words can be used with a non-negative connotation in English too:

Sometimes in seemingly self-contradictory ways.
"She's pretty ugly; but she's awfully nice".
You said to him you're terrible at Japanese, right?
He meant, 'But still, I'm impressed, because you know kanji!'
If he said でも、漢字を知ってるからスゴイ！, it might have been easier for you to see he was referring to you, I guess.
We drop subject(who, I, You, etc.) very often(or in almost all cases) in a casual conversation, so if you are not sure who the other person is referring to, you could ask them 'Who? Me? or You?'
I sometimes do that myself, when I can't guess from their face expressions, tone of voice and whatnot...
Btw, I guess you're mixing up Sugoi with Hidoi...
Sugoi means, good, cool, amazing, awesome etc.
