So I was "playing" Sonic Riders... or one of them... and it occurred to me that Sonic's claim to be the fastest thing alive is pretty much accurate, and all his rivals claiming that title are kinda blowing smoke. 

The One that I noticed immediately was Jet the Hawk. Jet claims he's faster than Sonic, except he's always racing on an Extream Gear. How can Jet claim HE is faster than Sonic when his speed is in the board not himself?

The same rolls over for Shadow. He can only keep up with Sonic when he switches to hover skates. Once again the speed isn't in him.

They can both handle Sonic speeds and they both must have incredible reaction time in order to function at those speeds, but if Sonic is keeping up with them on foot... it only proves how fast he is. In fact I don't think Jet can even compare on foot because he gets winded. 

And his whole claim (which could have been a true factor, since flying things tend to be faster than running things) that Sonic is only the fastest on land, while Jet is fastest in the air, is faulty. HE'S nto the one flapping his "wings". He's riding on the skateboard! 

I can't claim I'm faster than an Olympic sprinter when I'm riding my bike versus their running speed. 

The weird racecar uncle from Sonic X is the worst of the rivals. I mean seriously, he's driving. I think it's pretty clear who personally is faster. 

Then I got to thinking about Metal Sonic. Rocket on his back included, he's the only Rival that can move at Sonic speeds without using an outside tool. That rocket is inside him. ... But as a Robot can he even claim he's Alive? 

Anyway... those where just my thoughts on how no one comes close to Sonic's speed and those who claim they do, aren't really. 

What are your guys' thoughts?

Teaser: 

"Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may. I wish I might. A thousand fans would scream my name, but I stand alone in this fight. My only wish, my only dream. See who I am, not what I sing."

"I know what I saw! I was there when he took my parents! I saw what happens when he turned loved ones into his own mindless soldiers. I saw him turn a forest into ash for the fun of it... but no one believes me."

"Fight or flight. Why do I run? I'm a hero. I'm a fighter. I will stand my ground. I will never look back. I will never back down... but then I run."

“Live, love, laugh. Dance like no one is watching. Laugh. Laugh when you feel like crying. Never let them see you cry. Make them laugh, so they won’t laugh at me.”

“The servers are the seven Chaos. Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos. The controller exists to unify the chaos! I AM THE CONTROLLER! But… Am I really in control?”

“Don’t let them in. Don’t let them see. Be the princess they want to me to be. Don’t feel. Don’t show. Keep it all under control.”

“Got out my map and chose a place that I wanted to go. I know that your lucky color is that cool shade. I guess I’m so easy to understand. I can’t stop dreaming of you.”

“Come stop your crying. It will be alright. Just take my hand. Hold on tight. I will protect you from all around you. Nowhere is safer than by my side.”

“I am the very model of a modern major general. I have information vegetable, animal, and mineral. I know the kings of Acorn, and I quote the fights historical from Greenhill Zone to Adventure Two, in order categorical; I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both simple and quadratical, about binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’news. With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.”

“Fated not to be tamed. Watch me, I never will lean upon you. I can go...by myself... By myself?”

“There's moonlight on the trees, Paintin' silver on the leaves. It's so beautiful out here, I just had to stop and stare. That's unusual for me…I had a happy heart of stone. No voice to answer but my own, now, I want more from the night since you waltzed into my life. You couldn't leave well enough alone”

“Is he gone? Can you imagine? He asked me to marry him. Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless . . .”

And here's the teaser not as colorful if you can't read the above:
