Sonik Super Sand Hedgehog VS Rainslow Hash

[Shadowking58 1,137]

Sonic, easily.

Before you flame me, I like Rainbow Dash too, but she just wouldn't win.

*In the Sonic Archie Comics, Sonic can run faster then the speed of light. He doesn't just mention it, he surpasses that speed in the comic.

*In Terminal Velocity Act 2 (Stage from Sonic Colors) Sonic outruns a BLACK HOLE for about 30 seconds.

*In the 3DS version of Sonic Generations, Sonic states he can "Do another jog around the planet and come back, if you want."

*In Sonic lore, he has once ran around the planet multiple times, in a row.

*Sonic can run backwards as fast as he can running forwards.

*Sonic's "Sonic Boom" Ability, Which is basically the Sonic Rainboom except replacing the Rainbow Trail with a blue streak of light, and the fact that Sonic doesn't need to charge it like Rainbow does, he can do it instantly.

 

Those are my reasons for believing Sonic would win.

dashie is faster than sonic why? her top speed is mach 5 and when she do the sonic rainboom her speed is increased 5 times so yeah GTFO sanic and game theory is right

I saw the video and yes they are pretty similar.

[Denim&Venöm 18,964]

This is difficult to judge since it seems that Sonic's abilities are inconsistent throughout TV shows, comics and videogames. The TV show says he travels at mach 1. The early games and comics say he travels faster than light. Sonic unleashed says his fastest speed was 2500 mph (mach 3.5) The Sonic Adventure Directors cut guide says 3,840 mph (mach 5.5).

 

I saw a post somewhere that for Rainbow Dash to execute a sonic rainboom against gravity during the S2 finale, she would've had to been traveling at over mach 50 or 35,000+ mph. 

 

But to address the issue that the G-forces involved would kill her and the air resistance would tear her to pieces, you have to consider that if that were the case, then the Pegasus wouldn't have evolved the ability to do so. Any Pegasus who traveled that fast and died, wouldn't have passed on the genetics needed to achieve such speeds to future generations, making it all physically impossible. But since Rainbow Dash can survive the wind resistance and the G-forces, it's only logical to presume that the body of a Pegasus was built to endure such extreme forces. 

 

Overall, I'd say Rainbow Dash is faster, but that all depends upon which Sonic you pit her against.  

 

But then there's always this:

If, at any point during the race, Sonic so much as steps on a tack he loses all his rings (assuming he has any to begin with).  And, if the race is held outside of his universe, he can't collect anymore.  So if he later stubs his toe he dies lol.  Just something to consider. xD  Dead hedgehogs do not cross finish lines.

 

Also, if it is not strictly a ground-based race, RD can just fly to the finish line while Sonic has to contend with obstacles.  Or maybe Sonic gets stuck in one of those really long (but usually neat) spring-to-spring, scripted moments. xD  I say this because the topic said Sonic vs. RD; not Super Sonic vs. RD.  Doesn't Sonic need to collect all the Chaos Emeralds to go Super Saiyajin??

You've all been lied too by Sega.

 

Rainbow Dash is faster.

Gametheory is deeply wrong. bad calculations. prooven wrong on multiple occasions. He even admited it himself.

dashie is faster than sonic why? her top speed is mach 5 and when she do the sonic rainboom her speed is increased 5 times so yeah GTFO sanic and game theory is right

Her top speed is NOT mach 5. She has reached a max of mach 1.2. The shows canon suggests a rainboom is a sonic boom with a rainbow. Sonics max speed on the other hand isnt known. Some official sources claim Sonic being able to break the speed barrier. So even if rd was mach 5, she still wouldent mach Sonics speed. wait.... Did you just say sanic?

If, at any point during the race, Sonic so much as steps on a tack he loses all his rings (assuming he has any to begin with).  And, if the racontend with obstacles.  Or maybe Sonic gets stuck in one of those really long (but usually neat) spring-to-spring, scripted moments. xD  I say this because the topic said Sonic vs. RD; not Super Sonic vs. RD.  Doesn't Sonic need to collect all the Chaos Emeralds to go Super Saiyajin??

I could correct so many things wrong here, but ill just do the most important. Rings arent needed for sonic to survive. they are game mechanics. basically meaning they are placed inside the game to meake it harder. They arent needed. 

Sonic doesent need his superform to beat anybody in a race. Canon spurces say Sonif in base form moves at infinite speed.

 

ill correct all grammar werrors when i get home. dont mind them. its android again. its a shame they couldent fix the grammar check. sorry.

Even though I was largely trying to make a funny (because I generally take vs. topics not very seriously at all), the whole "those are game mechanics" arguments always sound like a cop-out to me.  Sonic is a video game character.  Why does he automatically lose a defining quality derived specifically from the context that's responsible for his very existence?  Seems strange to extract a video game character from the realm / context from whence they first came and then strip them of the qualities that don't necessarily mesh with your opinion of how they'd perform in a vs. scenario.  What if you drag Super Mario out of the Mushroom Kingdom?  And he had a Super Mushroom in his pocket?  Would said mushroom still enlarge him, or is that simply another "game mechanic" that exists solely to keep the player alive?  Rings are part of Sonic / a defining characteristic of the Sonic games.  Sonic is a video game character.  And since I don't think the original poster explicitly restricted such, I feel as though I can imagine video game Sonic (specifically) vs. MLP:FIM Rainbow Dash.  I can go back in time and pluck pudgy original Sonic out of game #1 if I want.

 

P.S. Taking a hardline in a vs. topic is no fun; I like to use my sense of humor and imagination.  I rebel whenever something or someone seeks to put limitations on either.

You misunderstood me. Yes. The rings are game mechanics and do not exist in the actual sonic world as health usage. I'm not saying they don't exist. They are used in gameplay as so, although they actually don't. Game mechanics are the mechanics of a game to limit it to make it harder and "fun". We all know that Sonic can run faster than he did in Sonic Lost World, yet his speed was limited in gameplay(ONLY in gameplay) yet he was limited by game machanics. The same thing happens with rings. We dontttttttt see Sonic loosing rings when he falls from space in cutsceenes or when he got slammed down by time eater. Same thing counts here. Now the Mari Supermushroom is something completely inconsistant. You could have used something moree        consistant as a fire flower. They do exist, since they have been shown in cusceenes and have been refered to continuosly.......... in games. Now im not saying rings dont exist, since they do as an small energy source and knowleddddddddddge source. BTW. Sonic 1 Sonic was the one that had the infinite speed feat. So thats useless too. Sonic wins both ways.

If Sonic 1 Sonic possessed infinite speed, how come I was able to follow his pudgy butt with my feeble human eyes as he scampered across a tube TV screen lol?  But I digress. xD

Lol. Its hard to comprehend at first but after getting used to it its easier to understand it. The reason he is seen is becaause of those nifty game machanics. They slow down everything. Which is also probably why yyou can still dodge buzzy bombers laser stings, although they are lightspeed(The lasers). sorry if I came by as an bad guy. My apologies. I dont want to be a hipocrite, but I was in a hurry. Lol. Nice talking to you. BTW. If you want proof of Sonic being infinitely fast, just pm me

You didn't do anything wrong, and therefore have no cause to apologize.  I just try - and fail miserably lol - to bring a little levity to vs. topics.  I just feel as though they could be funner. xD

Ah. Ok. heh. I was sortaf worried there, since soooooooooome recent occurences. Anyways, thanks! Bye.

Rainbow doesn't only break the sound barrier, she breaks the light spectrum with her speed! well Sonic, try to beat that!

Did Rainbow Dash cause the total destruction of the universe and survive it?

Did Rainbow Dash ever run at the speed of light (Not the Light Spectrum, Light Speed, which is faster.) Like Sonic does?

Didn't think so.

[thecreeper123455 14]

Rainbow Dash. Thats why it's called a Sonic Rainboom. Not just a Rainboom.

Are you are that Sonic has the exact same ability as "Sonic Boom" Without the rainbow effect?

Didn't think so.

No. Just saying sonic sucks. RD Rules.

Don't you think your being a bit biased there?

Just because you don't like Sonic doesn't mean that Rainbow Dash is faster.

Better question: how on Earth does Robotnik's fat ass outrun Sonic in the old games? Lol!

Haha! You're funny! Game Theory isn't meant to be taken seriously, it's just there for fun. It's like Death Battle, just for fun but people take it WAY to seriously. Edited August 12, 2014 by Shenron00

I'm not a huge fan(or a fan period to be honest) of sonic. That said a quick Google search revealed that in one of his comics he went so fast he slowed down time from his perspective and then got stuck like that. With that information it would suggest that Sonic is faster than Rainbow Dash since she can "only" shatter the light spectrum, In ether case I am sure we can all agree that both are insanely fast.

Sorry Dash fandom, but Sonic is a LOT faster. It's like comparing Superman's speed vs. Flash's on the ground running. Flash is Sonic, ya get the picture. A Super Rainbow Dash might be declared the winner though. 

[Fractured 2,684]

Without the emeralds, sonic doesn't really stand much of a chance unless it's the sonic X version . Rainbow Dash literally runs circles around him; she's just that much faster.
