[TAS] SRB2 Race - X Super Sonic vs SMS

(This is a tool-assisted speedrun.)

Because why not. Suprisingly, X Super Sonic wasn't that far behind.

(Made using libTAS v1.4.4)

PLEASE READ:



X Sonic DID NOT lose because of the transformation animation, he transformed and could move right before the door has opened. He lost because he's simply slower than SMS with speed shoes. Please stop writing this dumb comment because you are wrong. Thanks.

Everyday we get closer and closer to sms' speed

[YorigamiX]

SMS still the king as usual but X sonic did pretty well, he just doesn't have a good downwards movement option

0:09 This was the moment where the race was decided, even though X Sonic was left behind at the beginning due to his animation when transforming, he had the lead, but when he needed to go down the tunnels, his movement was much slower, and he had to use a flight move that made him much slower than SMS who was on the ground running at top speed.

Finally the X Sonic is out now all that's missing is the modern Sonic V6

poor metal bro was on screen for 3 seconds

If sms in his base form is THAT strong, then hms must be crazy

[Delta-DX]

Actually surprising that it was that close. Do you think you could do Modern Sonic v5.12 vs X Sonic?
I've seen that people have been asking about it and it might be a seriously close match

The fastest character of today vs the fastest character in history

[EdgyTheHedgy]

Alright so I got a bit curious after this vid
I booted up the speedometer mod as well as desert blast (a level that's basically a really long straight line) to find out who is truly the fastest thing alive
X sonic or super mystic sonic
I'll be measuring in kilometers per hour (americans in the comments, sorry, I'm just more comfortable with this mesuring system)
So here are the stats
Base running speed for sms with boost and for x with zip dash
Sms top running speed is 280 kmph
X top running speed is 286 kmph
So with no power ups x is actually a bit faster
Next is speed with the power snickers
Sms power sneakers running speed is a whopping 468 kmph
X doesn't actually become any faster with power sneakers, so he is still at 286 kmph
But x has transformations
Dark sonic can reach up to 306 kmph
Both super and dark super sonic on the ground can reach up to 368 kmph
And super sonic in the air could reach up to 406 kmph
That's fast, but still slower that sms with the power sneakers
But X's possible top speed is actually during his ring burst, it's the same for all his forms, so even in base, using a ring burst x sonic could reach up to 666 kmph
Now I'm not sure if this is just his absolute top speed or the speedometer mod just doesn't go any higher, I actually think it's the second, cause the number didn't change when I was changing altitude, like it usually did, so that means that x sonic is even faster and maybe the ring burst just has no limit and will just keep on speeding up as long as it's active
So I officially declare X Sonic as the fastest thing alive of SRB2

When you finally meet your Idol but realize you have surpassed them in power.

X super sonic had a animation before starting the race thats why sms won

[EdgyTheHedgy]

to be fair
sms had a head start because of x sonic's transformation animation

[prisca]

Thats not fair sms sonic got the speed shoes

[theipat]

I thought XSonic would win purely because he has constant acceleration but SMS is still superior as always. I will say though funny how most of us, including me, forgot about metal sonic even being there

[LuisgaVillegas]

X Sonic Was So Close! but you make what you can blue blur.

[zac]

I think X Sonic is just SMS but with all the bloat removed.

[dabluepittoo-aqua]

Funny that both had their abilities coded by the same person

[xRagingxDemonx]

Now i'm curious to see how close it would be if Sonic X didn't have to transform or they started at the same time.

And metal just like:
Metal sonic: alright you two meat copies, lets do a race- wait, where they just go. WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ALREADY GOT A GOAL?!
