How does Dr. Eggman outrun Sonic?
He's faster in Sonic Adventure 2 as well.
Longer legs, duh
>>12561907He doesn't. Sonic just lets him have the illusion of escape knowing he's going to win in the end.
He's using overdrive
bionic legs
Think about it in realistic terms.If you were standing next to a hedgehog on a racing track would you be able to outrun him?The answer is yes.Sonic may think hes the fastest around in game due to only racing other animals and an inflated ego, and the developers were keen on the fact that robotnik would realistically outrun him
>>12561907Well you see, Eggman is surprisingly powerful, but his endurance is pants, so if Sonic and Tails chased him for a long enough stretch of time, they can->>12561913>Chao-Garden Eggman shits all over this theoryOkay, fine, every Sonic character is actually unreasonably fast, but we still have yetbto see Eggman roll and spin.
>>12562884>but we still have yetbto see Eggman roll and spin.On the contrary, Sonic the Animation as featured in Sonic Jam.https://youtu.be/q615X9eE-MU
>>12561907If we define running speed in mph, they are the same speed, but if we define it my the angular velocity of their legs Sonic is clearly going faster
>>12562980It's more that Sonic has to exert more physical effort and energy, to match Eggman's speed.At least, if you look at it through a purely realistic lens.These days Sonic's abilities are basically super powers, stemming from Sonic Adventure 2 and their exploration of chaos emeralds being more than just a means for him to achieve a super transformation.Sonic's speed in the Genesis games is mostly just incredible physical ability, but through more of a fantastical, almost cartoon approach.
>>12561907He invented Sonic's shoes that enable him to run so fast. What makes you think Robotnik wouldn't have a pair of his own?
>>12561916This is why the Olympic Games games with Sonic make no sense. He either dominates half the competitions or he's deliberately nerfed to the point of ridiculousness.
>>12561907Easy. Eggman had one of Sonic's quills on him. It was even shown in the movie.
>>12561907His ass smells like egg farts so Sonic instinctively backs off when he gets too close
Because he's the EGGMAN
I get the idea that Sonic is supposed to have a "gag manga" feeling to its Jap devs. That's why shit like this is allowed or happens at all. Or why Eggman can keep surviving exploding in his vehicles.

>>12561907hitting the gym a few times helps
>>12561907Bionic legs
>>12561907Eggman is way more fit than he looks. He just prefers to let his robots and machines do all the work.Also basically everyone in the Sonic universe is capable of going fast. Sonic just goes the fastest.

>>12568016Does hitting the showers afterwards also help?
