Sonic runs faster than the speed of sound, which is mach 1. Everbody on this site must already know that. But here's my question:

When sonic is running at super sonic speeds, how can he here Miles and other talking to him? His ears must be ringing due to the contanst speed. Also, he can out run sound itself. So, how does he do it?

Actually, I remember watching a video once where a guy compared his speed in the games with actual footage of breaking the sound barrier. Judging from the gameplay results, it's nowhere near close. For the most part, Sonic isn't really faster than the speed of sound as his name implies. However, he has proven several times that he can break the sound barrier (if he puts enough effort into it), but for most of the time, he's just running at a reasonable speed.

But then again, it's a video game. Asking how Tails can communicate with Sonic at such high speeds is like asking how Mario is able to jump so high.

That's the thing. Sonic isn't always running at him max speed. He likes going fast, but fast doesn't mean faster then the speed of sound. I believe he actually is running around at a slower speed (still fast to us) except for emergencies.

I always thought his top speed would still wipe him out, just like ever other runner.

Game Theory? As nice as the theory is, the evidence he uses is circumstantial. No where does it say it's his top speed, and the 'evidence' he uses in the modern game was based on opinion. Just because Empire City MIGHT be based on New York (it was New York right?) doesn't mean the buildings are the same size. (Also Mario's design was 100% made to make him visible not to be accurate.)
Don't get me wrong, I love Game Theory...but I felt his evidence in that one was.....non-existent.

Sonic: Oh, please, I'm way past cooler than physics!

[RedAuthar]

....yeah.....

Honestly he probably doesn't listen anyways.

Sonic can read lips?

[Skylar]

He does even read Sally's lips. Why would he now?

When I read the title's topic, I though this topic was like "Sonic ever heard anyone?" instead of that stuff about speed xDD. Well...I don't know what to say. I like Game theory too, but I don't take is too serious. Is like...hey someone have so much free time that spend it talking about real factors in a videogame. Yeah cool, next time I hope they try to explain Bobobo. Because non-real world have to adapt to the real world.

Is just all, no sense. I could say a lot of no-sense things about Sonic, but I prefer just say is stupid talk about it. Is just a fiction world.

Oh, the irony.

Over in "My Burnig Question About Eggman", we negated V's claims at killing the subject because we just didn't want to kill the subject, even though it still isn't dead (I think). However, in here, we are accepting the fact that the games are just games, and that somethings are made to not make sense.
