Forum:Sonic vs Rainbow Dash

Some of you, whenever bronies or Sonic fans, perhaps have been expecting such a question to be asked for awhile and it's perhaps one of those "Superman verses Goku" questions where it be one of lifes great mysteries. So I decided to lie it on the table right now.  Who would win in a fair race? Sonic the Hedgehog Rainbow Dash the poll's really for general oppinions, When I ask "Who would win in a race", I don't want it to be a flamewar of the fanboys, Im asking from what we as Sonic fans know about Sonic's capabilities as well as what the bronies here know of Rainbow Dash's capabilities. What I am asking for is for the facts on who would win.

Sonic is named after the speed of sound which is 768 mph. Sonic's counted speed is as fast as 2,500 mph (Sonic Generations) which is almost three times as fast as the speed of sound (2,304).

Additionally "Modern Sonic" has an ability than Classic Sonic does not have and that is his ability to perform an instantinious Sonic boom which we know as the Sonic Boost ability.

Rainbow Dash has the ability to achieve her own variant of Sonic boom based ability known as the Sonic Rainboom, which pressuming light is involved since rainbows are a spectrum of light means that Rainbow Dahs will need to travel at speeds between 768-671 million mph, but since Rainbow Dash is shown putting pressure onto the air at great speeds forcing her into a stremline shape to pierce the sound barrier, we can pressume that perhaps the Sonic Rainboom is a regular Sonic Boom with a magicla light show (until further MLP:FiM canon facts are brought up).

Eitherway I believe that while Rainbow Dahs is perhaps faster than Sonic, if she is able to move at lightspeed, her drawback would be she would require to build up enough ammount of speed to reach the sound barrier. when she begins to run she can "dash" but since she cannot exactly boost like Sonic can, I believe that Sonic would win a race against Rainbow Dahs, but RD would be able to catch to the race given the time and momentum to build up her speed.

At least thats my theories on the matter.-- 20:10, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
