KMC Olympics: The Footrace

Started by The Scenario6 pages

So how fast can Sonic and Shadow go? I'm pretty sure the lightspeed tthing only applies to their super forms, and even then I've only seen this in the comics. Also, they aren't exactly running, but flying.

Samus can move at supersonic speed, which could be anywhere between mach 1.2 and mach 4, but I don't know where exactly.

again, only in gameplay

very true 😬

Funny, in Adventure 2, they were shown running side by side, same speed. And in Sonic Battle, Shadow's running speed is ranked higher than Sonic's, though I admit even I am not sure of Battle's canonicity in the series.

Also, Sonic and Shadow have been estimated as high as mach 5 I think...

I hate The Running Man of Hyrule, that game took me longer to beat than it should have because of him. But are we assumin' that TRMoH can beat anyone just because he can beat Link, no matter what?

Mach 5 is no longer supersonic. That's getting into hypersonic territory . Flying or running?

Battle is just a remake of Adventure 2 isn't it.

pick any cutscene where sonic is shown to have been beaten to a bloody pulp by shadow...shadow is the only character save perhaps silver who has beaten sonic in as fair fight, and he did it because hes faster 😬

Or maybe that's because he can use his Chaos-based powers far easier than Sonic, and makes frequent use of them.

Silver is far slower than Sonic, yet he can beat Sonic.

The only place I can recall where Shadow is even mentioned as being faster than Sonic was in Sonic Battle. I take that series with a grain of salt.
Sega's profiles for Shadow usually mention that he can 'skate' at speeds that rival Sonic's, not run, skate.

~ If Shadow were faster than Sonic, what would be the point of Sonic anyway? His main trademark is that he's the fastest thing.

shadow is the "ultimate life-form" - it'd be kinda redundant if the ultimate life-form was pwned because he was too slow..

No, we're assuming that he wins because he can only be defeated by breaking the law of relativity. Even RAGE can't counter this.

The deal wit TRMoH is just a silly game mechanic tho, I would assume it applies only in the Oot. I remember playin' a Megaman game where I couldn't beat the boss until Protoman killed himself. Does that mean that this boss can not be beaten by anyone unless Protoman jumps in and dies for their sins?

It's not a game mechanic. 😐 The only way to beat him is to get there in -1 seconds. No one in this event can do that.

But he is always 1 second ahead of Link, it IS a game mechanic. If Link takes a 1000 years to get there, he'll take a second less. He exists to beat Link. He is always a second a head of Link in Oot. How does this make him 1 second faster than Sonic who moves at mach speeds wit no special powers. Sonic runs this fast naturally. No time travel, no horses, nothin'. He was born fast.

If Link was in this race and he finished last, TRMoH would finish 2nd to last, 1 second ahead of Link, not everyone else. Because Link is not here, he would have to actually run, rather than magically appear 1 second a ahead of Link

It is not a gameplay mechanic, because Link /did/ beat him. He got there in -1 seconds, and the Running Man got there in time to notify him of that. Time paradoxes ensued.

IE, the running man crossed Hyrule insantly.

It only proves it's gameplay because we know if Link takes 7 years, TRoM will take 6 Years, 364 days, 23 hours and 59 seconds. That's kinda slow. And now magically he can run across Hyrule in a second just to one up Link? You have to be one hell of a Zelda fan to not see that as gameplay.

Also, I heard that vid was fake. A dude posted it on Yahoo Answers and he was told it was impossible. The congratulations for beatin' him was admittedly never even programed into the the game. He hacked the game to tell him he he won. The guy coulda said "Wow 4 years" and Link still woulda won.

Link plz?

Except when he loses to Link, he gets there in less than a second. Not gameplay.

Until you prove the vid's fake.

Can you beat the Running Man?

The Running Man cannot be beat. I'm sure Shigeru Miyamoto had a great time thinking about how many people would waste hours trying to be the first one to beat him. No matter what you do, he is always one second faster than you. As proof, the English screentext translator reports that he had never had to translate a congratulations message for when you finally beat him.

Yet the massage is in english AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HIM PROGRAM THE WORDS INTO THE GOD DAMN ROM FILE ON WHAT IS CLEARLY AN EMULATOR.

You should read the comments below the youtube vid.

More proof

You didn't just see the guy bring up the the Program Files and see him type in what he wanted TRMoH to say?! Are you blind Scream, that vid is fake as hell? Or should I say, that Zelda game was fake as hell.

Did we watch the same vid? If this was in the video, I would have noticed.

...
We're not watching the same video.

anyway:
Both links are inconclusive. The best evidence used was by the Yahoo answers guy who noted time doesn't pass on the bridge.

I'll go look around.

Because you have proof, ScreamPaste is officially Gannon-banned!

I never claimed I beat him, FinalAnswer posted a video. Gannon-ban him.

It is common knowledge that Protoman is in fact Jesus.

It turns out we we're lookin' at different vids. Here is what really happened. It may appear to be the same vid, but just wait, you'll see.

There is a form of him called Protojesus in MM4. Go to Gamefaqs to see how to get it
