[@crushingon]

I like how this little experiment is actually very relevant to the meta game and competitive play. Sonic out running most projectiles in the game helps illustrate how difficult he is to hit and how his raw speed serves as a great defensive tool by virtue of being able to avoid almost any attack.

Informative video and I liked it, a quick clarification that I noticed though: Joker's gun isn't a projectile, it's just a reaaally long hitbox, it's instant to come out once fired which is why it's faster.

[@marigoldzephyrnio3647]

Neither are Bayo's bullet arts or Ike's eruption

[@TheRobloxianBeatSabertist]

So then that means that Joker’s gun didn’t count since Sonic dodged his other attack as well.

[@StarKatGaming]

Same goes for other moves like Zelda’s down special. And then Mario’s fludd and squirtles water gun are wind boxes not projectiles

[@Rarest26]

Zelda down b can be reflected, so it does count as a projectile

[@wanderlustwarrior]

Sonic did a lot better than the results suggest, since he gave a lot of users time to charge. If he started running when they started charging, he'd have won a lot more. I"d also suggest if you redo this you also try the Belmont whip if you're doing non-projectiles.

[@raistlin1357]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If he was allowed to run when he saw the attack start, he'd outrun most of them

[@rioluwu5921]

The rules were that he can move once the projectile starts MOVING, though

[@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy]

I'm pretty sure he would win in all of them if that was the case, they need content y'know

[@TheUnzen]

3 moves where it's sad to not see they're varient : Byleth's uncharged neutral-b, Sephiroth's uncharged and mid-charged neutral-b, and Terry's neutral-b (because it couldn't travel/chase Sonic thanks to the different materials use for the ground)

[@heresthadude1080]

Sonic has to hold back for Smash, so he has to run at the same speed without accelerating

Same with dedede he has a much faster air time his in game air speed is really slow in comparison

[@ludgerkres.1437]

I love how the two utility belts in this game fail the challenge. Those being Snake and Megaman.

Fun fact: joker's gun shot is not a projectile. To get the intended hitscan effect, it is instead a very long and thin normal attack hitbox, still attached to joker.

[@WaveAqualei]

Yep! So is Bayonetta's bullet arts

[@runningoncylinders3829]

R slash technically the truth. These moves are visually no different from projectiles even if they have different functionality. He’s not hitting you with the move connected to him barring the non-diegetic behavior of hitboxes.

ROB's gyro is actually a lot faster if you don't charge it completely. Charging does increase it's launch speed but the max charge where it's blinking, resets it's speed to slower set amount.

Joker technically can’t hit Sonic with a projectile. The gun’s bullets can’t be reflected. They aren’t projectiles, they’re actually disjointed hitboxes. It’s really weird.
