Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I never thought about it before, but now that you mention it, I have never seen Sonic and Barry Allen together in the same room at the same time
Sonic is faster. The Flash isn't real.
Whoever the writer thinks should be faster, so as to serve the needs of the story being told.
In every single conversation about which fictional character can beat the other in any competition, this is ALWAYS they correct answer.
Neither are as fast as my friend Ryan after he got his new shoes. He was so fast. Like really really fast. But he got hit by a garbage truck and can't walk without a cane now. His mom works at Waffle House. His brother plays Fortnite on Switch.
P.F. Flyers?
No, he had Yeezy's. This wasn't 1964.
That was Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez
Both can go faster than light and "therefore" break through dimensional thresholds or go backwards in time; at that point actual measurement is kinda pointless. However, Flash is bound to the Speedforce (of whatever dimension/timeline/etc he's in) and when that's shared with any other speedsters, he becomes less capable. Sonic does not seem to share this "weakness" therefore would be considered faster.
This is the same argument for why Superman is actually faster than Flash, too. And ignores the use of chaos emeralds.
Flash. Both Sonic and Flash can run at/near speed of light, but only Flash has been able to go back in time with it.
Sonic has totally traveled time by going fast, look at Sonic CD. https://aminoapps.com/c/sonic/page/blog/sonics-top-speed-how-powerful-he-really-is-100th-post-special/Z6Qo_B1xiBu0oDKbk4RqbzEvNNRvlv14jNQ
We need this crossover comic if it doesnt exist already.
dang, and I was so confident with it
To be fair, I dont think many have played Sonic CD or even heard of it by now.
The only fictional character I think could possibly move faster is MAYBE Superman in some of his more broken appearances.
You simply arent going to get past the insanity that is the "Speed Force" and I don't think Sonic is going to trick West or Allen.
