I don't really want Sonic to be faster or as fast as the Flash. He is gifted with super speed fast enough to punch the sound barrier, he can probably go up to mach 2 or 3, while The Flash can go literally as fast as lightning. Not only is the Flash impossibly fast but also has rapid healing, able to time travel, shift through molecules due to vibration and his abilities are directly connected to a quantum power known as the Speed Force.

Sonic doesn't have all that stuff and he doesn't really need it, he has the necessities of speed to work with while The Flash has all of speed itself at his disposal. The fact Sonic isn't as fast as most well known speed heroes like Superman and The Flash whom are the popular childhood heroes for Americans and most around the world, just makes Sonic more of a person to me to be more supportive of as my hero.

Sure there has been times that are impossible for Sonic and Super Sonic being the Deus Ex Machinima for those situations but that only prooves the point on Sonic recognising his own limits and his achievements to overcome them.
