I mean dualing is arguably a speed-based sport as well, since they competed to hit targets in tandem. Remember when you duel someone, it doesn't matter how accurate you can be if the other person can shoot you first.

[@griffenmage]

It does if your shot is insignificant and theirs is instantly lethal. If I empty a 50 round drum clip into your body but fail to hit anything major, I've wasted 50 bullets and probably opened myself up to give you time for that perfect head or heart shot (one bullet, fatal).

[@0opsAllKobolds]

@@griffenmage 1900's means one shot dualing pistols, and lead bullets are pretty much fatel anywhere they hit. At leas t long term. Plus, I'm not sure of the rules for the Olympics, I've looked, but first wound could mark the end of the dual. (Though again, rules for shooting each other varied, generally picked by the "offended" party. So... no help there with ruling.)

While that was probably more analogous to a bazooka (if I remember correctly, Mario's in-game firearm was meant to closely resemble the Super Scope itself), it's good to see this one mentioned. I dunno, I feel like that should be a point for Mario, two pieces of secondary canon where he capably handles firearms, not to mention literal fire from his arms - fireballs, hammers, and boomerangs may not all directly translate to ability to use a pistol, but they should certainly speak to the coordination using one relies on. Sonic... well, okay, he's got tertiary canon, but really when does he ever demonstrate a fraction of the ability in games that he has in the comics? You'd be on the loading screen, hit start, and the credits and ending would roll.

So I know I am REAAALY late to this one, but I just wanted to point out that Mario has a longer history of guns than we all thought. I think it was on the Super Nintendo (Don't quote me on that) but there was a Mario title that used an accessory to the console that was shaped like a gun. In the game you play as Mario riding on yoshi and he arms himself with a BAZOOKA, and he just goes on to shoot up anyone in his path. Now handling a bazooka and normal guns is a little different obviously, but if we are looking at just experience with guns, Mario has much more experience and would probably be the winner of this event.

Solo Synchronized Swimming isn't strange as people think. Multiple synchronized swimming teams, including ones I'm familiar with such as the Sunrise Swans, always have solos as at least one of their routines, though it's usually two. It follows the same rules as group routines, where you do a choreographed swim routine to music, and it is, in fact, based on choreography and how the swimmer was in time with the music.

7:15 The irony is that a sailing competition would have fewer issues with wind than a power boat. A sailboat has a number of forward sail options to make use of the wind and create friction. They also have a central keel around which the boat can pivot. The hull is designed to exert sideways force against the water to convert the wind's pressure on the sails into forward motion. A power boat has no bow propulsion (think maneuvering thrusters) to control the bow position, and no central pivot. No matter how hard your rudder or how strong your engine, there's nothing to keep the bow from being blown around. The bottom of a powerboat is designed for minimal contact with the water with a flatter hull and lighter bow. The weight is aft to keep the props in the water as much as possible. That's why power boats "catch air" and sailboats do not. It's catastrophic for your sailboat keel to come out of the water. Powerboats do it as a matter of course. (because racing, course, ? I kill me!)

[@jz0967]

But its not about reaction time, in dueling you’re hitting a stationary target, its more about your form and aim rather than locking on. Even if sonic has higher reaction speeds, using a gun takes practice to perfect aim. I think Mario should have won that since in Mario Party 2 on the western map for the N64, Mario literally duels the other characters

There's an argument to be made in Sonic's case for dueling that which his speed would be an incredible advantage in landing the shot first on the target. Mario may not miss, but I believe Sonic is capable of landing a shot off first and more accurately given his reaction time

Hey Mattpat, what is your math here, this is just strait up wrong, it would take 0.034 h which is 122.4 seconds. Much more than the blink of an eye. 42 kilometres / 1234 kilometres per hour = 0.034 hours next 0.034 hours * 60 * 60 = 122.4 seconds. I'm talking about this part here, 2:13.
