Paramount Sonic Revision

[Lonkitt]

Last night I looked into the novelization and wow, didn't know it got one. That's a niche I often enjoy. The novel actually includes the deleted scene where Sonic explains to Tom what happened at the baseball field which I personally think is the perfect thing to put into a novelization for a film. Expands on stuff without making a large contradiction

EDIT: The novel also tells us that Sonic striking the baseball with a bat caused shockwaves, so yeah, pretty fair to say his strikes aren't weak

 

[ElixirBlue]

Also worth mentioning that Sonic was messing around here and its not like he was striking it multiple times

Meh, Sonic really could've killed Tom by Badnik firepower if Sonic was playing around. It seems out of character for Sonic to get Tom into danger, since he appeared from hiding so Dr. Robotnik wouldn't harm Tom with that same Badnik.

 

[Lonkitt]

If Sonic was serious, he likely would've taken a few swings at the thing. Personally casting a lot of doubt on Sonic's idea of an all out attack being a belly flop. The Tom thing is definitely true, though its entirely likely Sonic's lack of maturity in the situation got in the way

Well, that was the first time Sonic ever fought before. And it was too high above the ground for him to simply “swing” at it.

Yeah, jumping on the Badnik was the best thing inexperience Sonic could do.

 

[Lonkitt]

He definitely would've been able to use a physical strike, those are more than possible to perform from above with a jump. Even if all he did was jumping on it, he could've held on while striking it. Nevertheless, I feel that using that scene to downplay Sonic isn't reliable

No, not reliable. The Bar scene is more reliable to the discussion of Base Sonic's AP without using speed, but that bar scene only translates to Base Sonic without using Chaos Energy for his speed's AP. We know Sonic's stats like reaction speed lowers when he isn't using his speed, like getting hit by sticky bomb explosion when his reaction speed when using his speed is much higher. I mean, he self lowers his reaction speed so he can talk to Tom.

I could be wrong about Base Sonic's AP, but we've gotten few showing of it in the 1st movie. Hoping the 2nd movie establishes more consistency.

The second movie won't make Sonic being 10-C "consistent"

 

[ShakeResounding]

The first trailer shows Sonic pushing around grown robbers without his powers, this 10-C stuff is probably not gonna hold up in any capacity. High 8-C+ durability is about to be outta here too, since Knuckles is likely no-weaker in his amped state compared to Sonic's own.

Also, is this thread done or was something else being tweaked/adder? I applied everything in the OP, at least

 

[Lonkitt]

I wouldn't consider 10-C consistent for even a moment. Even in the first movie, he pushed two fully grown adults off a building with substantial force. Doesn't really yell 10-C IMO

 

[ElixirBlue]

I have never said 10-C Sonic... The humans aren't even 10-B.

Are people getting 10-C from another thread I'm not aware of?

 

[Theuser789]

Being implied to be weaker than humans makes people naturally think of 10-C

Naturally but people always tend to underestimate Dr. Robotnik cause of it and it never stopped Bowser from being viewed as a menace.

But I agree non-Bottle Breaking is not going to be consistent.
