Goku.

Instant transmission.

Relevant.

Why are you arguing with a 5 year old?

That's pretty much what we do here isn't it?

Because adults in our society are afraid to debate what's truly important.

Superman is clearly faster, but Sonic can grind rails and that's pretty boss.

Edit: Nah, I'm not trying to say you should be discussing more important matters with a 5 year old. I'm saying other adults should be having this sort of conversation with each other. Just a joke. No disrespect intended.

Tell him "yeah, sonics faster... in the bedroom" then proceed to jump around the room shouting "ooooohhhhhhhh."

That sick burn should end this argument with your five year old promptly.

just tried this. he said "no sonic is faster everywhere"

because when you have kids you argue with them as part of life. if youre not arguing then half the time youre not communicating with them.

This is way more interesting than it has any right to be.

Well damn. You just played your ace card and he lit you up. You may be right but it's time to concede this battle and lick your wounds, there are still decades left in this war.

@tunaburn: Okay, now we go for the long con, do it again but record it and and store it away and in several years break it out and show it to him while he's with all of his friends, he'll realize his mistake.

You'll be a "fun" dad.

In all seriousness, someone needs to call Social Services on you for letting your child play Superman Returns.

@villainy: i may of lost this battle to him but i won it in the eyes of the fans!

hahaha maybe ill do that!

in my defense its only the free demo off the xbox marketplace!

Could be worse. Could be Superman 64 in which case that might actually qualify as child abuse.

Sonic, he's gotta go fast after all.

@tunaburn: my bad I misread your OP as arguing with "a" 5 y/old rather than "my" 5 y/old.

But then.. "Come play this Superman 64 and you'll see just how fast he is!" Who's really the winner there?

Can Sonic go so fast that he can turn back time? Superman can!

As soon as I read the topic I got terrible flash backs to Comicvine's battle thread......... *shrugs*

SONIC IS FASTER

Sonic and I'm basing this off the games Superman 64 and Sonic CD.

I came into this thread saying "Goku" and then you do it.

Isn't the golden Sonic dude like the speed of light?

Also, probably depends on what era of Supes you're talking about.

Sonic could most definitely outrun contemporary Superman.

Im glad to see that superman is winning. i will screenshot this vote and show it to him when hes older! HAAHAHAHAHA I WILL WIN!

@defe: yea i kinda figured out what you meant. :P i was having a bad day and read it as, This guy thinks this is something worthwhile when he should be talking about real serious matters. And i was like, cut a dude some slack we gotta be stupid sometimes.

Your five year old is a moron. You should probably put him up for adoption.

GOTTA GO FAST

Oh yeah? Put them all on treadmills, then see how much Goku's instant transmission helps him.

Doesn't count. That's teleportation. If we're going on pure speed alone then Spongebob as The Quickster takes the cake.

Superman because he has enough speed to rotate the Earth on its axis by flying around it enough. At least I think that's what happened in one of the Superman movies I don't bother watching. Sonic is a better character overall though.

Ah yes, the internet finally getting to the brass tacks.

he like flew around the earth so fast he reversed time. pretty stupid concept if you ask me! But proves my point. could sonic even run around the earth like that?

The Flash.

Christ, did you drop him on his head as a baby? Sonic isn't that fast. Show him the results of this poll and then send him to bed to think about his mistake, that should do the trick.

Well your kid is a die-hard Sonic fan. That's the first problem.

I think you've done fucked up by letting your kid be a Sonic fan. He'll have a lifetime of disappointment ahead of him.

Both can travel so fast they can go back in time, but sonic needs time to build momentum, whereas superman can move really really fast instantly. So, Superman is faster.

Sonic, he can really move. Sonic, he's got an attitude. Sonic, he's the fastest thing alive, etc.

Really, they tell you that like 20 times in the song. Advantage: 5 year old!

The monorail.

thats his whole argument. that the song says sonic is the fastest thing alive. but it makes no sense seeing how in the game tails, knuckles, and a couple other characters basically keep up with him.

@ajamafalous: Awesome nightmare fuel!

I do agree with GOTTA GO FAST, so I also voted Sonic.

Ever notice how Sonic can never catch Robotnik on foot?

Indeed, it always bugged me when he ran away at the end of the games. But as a kid, I just went "Stupid Robotnik!" and went back to watching the Saturday morning show.

2fast4u cummon step it up!!!

Sonic! He's the fastest thing alive!

...too bad he only really had two or three good games total, and that was 20 years ago.
