Sonic is the fastest thing alive.

Robotnik is faster.

Therefore, Robotnik must be a robot (as his name would imply) or a zombie.

Hmm....

I always assumed that Sonic just purposefully held himself back out of arrogance and curiosity. Like he's having fun with the whole situation so he lets Robotnik run off into the robot thing.

Does he? It seems like Sonic was able to close the gap. I think it's a wash. Eggman has a faster first couple steps but then he slows down for a couple steps before reaching top speed.

It's no lie that Sega of America were the geniuses of marketing when it came to Sonic (and the company as a whole). Sega of Japan has a large responsibility when it comes to the whole downfall of the company.

As they often do. Developers need to understand that direct translations to other languages aren't always the best option. Eggman is an awful name. Dr Robotnik is a badass name.

Maybe for a split second (maybe), but overall, he starts off moving, while Sonic starts off standing still, and Sonic matches his speed.

Well it wasn't really canon I don't think. but yea, in the very early 90's like 1992 or something I was in a store and this was back when we still had comics on racks in stores. and there was this sonic the hedghog comic I opened and it told the origins of sonic. and he and Robotnik were friends. and he made Sonic shoes that made him run fast. then he had an accident and went crazy and that's how they started fighting

I never appreciated it til now, but they took a slavik word, added a slavic suffix, and made a great name.

Robotnik is just a relic of the Cold War and is equally cheesy.

And yeah, most of Sonics friends are the same speed as him in gameplay. The only thing that brings him above them in terms of speed is his post-Genesis abilities (spin dash, homing attack, light speed dash) and Super/Hyper Sonic.

The funny thing is that Nintendo did the opposite of what Sega did, starting with the Japanese name and creating an English version with Bowser.

Tbh Sonics Insta-Shield is highly overlooked in S3, and the Flame and Electric shield abilities give him really handy platforming abilities that complement his speed better than Tails/Knuckles, who can get pretty much anywhere on the map but whose abilities are a bit situational for the main routes.

I always felt like Knuckles was actually faster than Sonic.

I agree that direct translations don't always work. But in this case, it's from a Beetles song and that's as English as it gets.

The character is egg shaped, has the eggmobile ,death egg, eggrobo, and wing fortress zone has the name Eggman plastered throughout, but yeah I get it.

On topic though here is every time Eggman outran Sonic.
