Can Princess Celestia do the sonic rainboom?

I know this is a stupid question, but since she's almighty, she frequently flies from Canterlot to Ponyville by herself and knows more than every pony, plus adding that she can do a lot of things other ponies can't.

 

Yeah, silly question but... What do you think? :P

Are you sure I thought she just cast a flashy spell in mid-flight?

This is maybe true, or the spell allowed her to fly at the speed of sound for 0.1 second, long enough to make a Sonic Rainboom...

Presumably not quite as fast as Dash's. That is, after all, Dash's talent, while Celestia's is to control the sun.

 

Also, Twilight's the Element Of Magic, so she likely just flew generically fast and cast a Trixie-style firework spell to do her version of the Rainboom.

No, i don't think so. Celestia may be a princess, but her special talent is not to fly fast so...

 

What Brokenwings said.  She doesn't seem to be talented in speed, but just magic.

Creating a Sonic Rainboom is more than likely a special talent that belongs to Rainbow. Regardless, Celestia could more than likely create one through magic if Twilight can't.

No. Rainbow dash is famous for being able to do the sonic rainboom. Twilight was able to do a twiboom because she had more power/magic than any pony in existence while doing it OR as others said she had accidentally cast a spell mid-flight. Celestia could probably do one with magic, but not form flying so fast she breaks the sound barrier.

I think doing a Sonic Rainbow must be Pinkie Pie's secret dream, I mean, it is colorful, loud, fast and AWESOME :D

But seriously, I'm with all these guys who think she can't do it without aid of magic, simple because it makes sense

This fandom likes attributing super powers to both Twilight and Celestia, I don't think they are nearly as powerful as some fans like to think.

 

And no, Celestia and Twilight can't do a Sonic Rainboom because that would be so OC-ish that it would put them into Mary Sue territory, let rainbow have her special thing. We have no evidence that Celestia or Twilight can go even close to as fast as it takes to create a sonic rainboom.

 

This discussion does remind me that the princesses are more unicorn-ish than pegasi or earth pony (even Cadance, who was originally a Pegasus), which would make me curious to see a more Pegasus oriented Alicorn.

She can probably do something similar to what Twilight does considering her pupil can do it, and according to the Nightmare Rarity comics Luna can too, so I don't see any reason why neither Celestia or Cadence can't.

Luna traveled from the moon to the earth in seconds...and she's Celestia's equal. Rainbow Dash is, of course, faster still.

Probably something similar, but not as fast, and not a rainbow.

More like a magic speed boost thing, rather than breaking the sound/light/rainbow barrier like Dashie does B)


If you actually took the time to read my forum post, I thank

Love you Dashie :wub:

I... doubt it. Rainbow Dash has been the only one to do a Sonic Rainbow in Equestrian history, hasn't she? Princess Celestia rarely uses her wings and I doubt she's in great shape for flying so quickly. I wouldn't consider it a true Sonic Rainboom if she used her alicorn magic. Rainbow Dash is also extremely agile and sleeker than Celestia, which would make that kind of acceleration a lot easier.

Celestia was, at one point, a Wonderbolt, or at least kept up with them, she has her own flight pattern.

Even the Wonderbolts weren't able to do a Sonic Rainboom.
