Which Projectile Is FASTER Than SONIC ? - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

To be honest with what he has faced before I really doubt that much of the projectiles that the Smash roster posses would actually damage him outside of game mechanics

This video is displaying projectiles' speed against Sonic, and some of them are so slow that Sonic doesn't need to run.

Nah, Sonic’s real taunt is his victory screens. They are tilting after a close game, especially when people still taunt, as they are sonic players.

[@BlueSmash_404]

Yeah.

[@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

[@Needformadness2]

Sonic was able to outrun everything… then he took an arrow to the knee.

[@GamerFromJump]

It was pretty funny when Sonic ran, and then ran back, on to get blasted by Thoron. Arrogance draws punishment, Sonic.

[@Quickstein]

8:57 Fun fact, if you look at the hitbox data, Joker's gun actually isn't a projectile, but one really long hitbox.

[@Stardust_Torna]

Really wish sonic had his brawl voice lines, they'd fit perfectly here

[@jackthewinter5066]

Solid Snake: How my stinger couldn't reach him!?!? Joker and Bayonetta: I will tell you my secret....GUNS :D

[@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

[@PhD_in_Undecided]

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

[@heresthadude1080]

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

[@_EmperorWaluigi]

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

[@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)

[@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.

Unfortunately, Sonic reached the end in less seconds, and since he can start running once the Gordo is out, it’d take too long to swallow and spit out to catch sonic

If flood counts, Greninja up-b which actually deals damage should too.

[@sunfishythesunfish1509]

Did you try to do the long distance version of Ptooie (throwing the spiked ball after the startup when it's closest to Piranha Plant)? That might've caught Sonic.
