I think what also goes in Sonic’s favor is he can boost anytime by Spin Dashing or otherwise. Rainbow Dash, even if she’s gotten better at it since the Young Flyers competition still requires herself to charge up speed. But that’s what my guess is, who knows? Maybe Rainbow Dash would have a trick up her sleeve that would help her win when the race allows them both to play their full potential. But my educated guess still stands that Sonic would probably beat her.

Whatever the result though, Sonic and Rainbow Dash would be fast (no pun intended) friends. Rainbow Dash would probably be disappointed that I’d have to bring Sonic back to his own universe. There’s not alot of Ponies that can match Rainbow Dash in a race other then the wonderbolts. If she had somepony like Sonic around, she’d have somepony to challenge her every day.

Actually, Rainbow would win, as sonic only goes at most 80 meters per second (proven by Game Theory), and rainbow dash 5 times the speed of sound, or 1635.31 meters per second, pre-rainboom (proven by this guy).

That’s alright if you personally think Rainbow Dash would win. But I personally think Sonic’s alot faster then that, I think a full-powered Spin Dash and/or a boost like he does in Sonic Generations and Colors can keep pace with Rainbow Dash even when she’s performing the Sonic Rainboom. And Sonic can keep the momentum even when he turns and dodges. While Rainbow at best can turn at a 90 degree angle without losing momentum when using the Rainboom.

Though crossover races/fights usually do come down to personal opinion I suppose, I won’t lie. I’m a big fan of both Friendship of Magic and the Sonic series. So I have it on what would make it the most entertaining for me (Because if what those two guys said were true. Then it’d be a boring Rainbow wins easily sort of thing). Sonic’s faster on ground speed, Rainbow’s faster in the air, it’s close and tight when they’re both at their advantages. I had Twilight at least say if any of them made just one slip-up the other would win. But I included experience factor regarding what Sonic has had to deal with. Rainbow Dash would be more prone to what some call Rookie mistakes. While like Genie Twilight said, Sonic’s been under situations where if he failed to keep his speed up, he was going to die. Rainbow Dash can’t say she’s had an experience like that. Meaning I believe more likely then not, Rainbow’s going to make that slip-up that decides the race.

You’re entitled to your own thoughts though.
