https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9aDrY6SAOE Sonic had help form his past self. So it doesn't count. Everyone please stop wanking Sonic. Sonic does not have that kind of speed. It's a PIS/inconsistency feat. Anyway, I'm done. Sonic fanboys will never learn. Still doing half the work in restoring time and speed is still insanely fast. It can't be considered an outlier, if Sonic has done something like this before. And he has, he ran fast enough to come back into another dimension in secret rings. And Shara did say he ran endlessly, so no genie powers were involved. Classic Sonic has shown to also run at speeds so fast enough that he can time travel, though it's not clear, it's most likely he had help from those Post signs. If you were to believe that, it would explain his power growth logically. Modern Sonic was shown to be at the same scale as Super Sonic in Adventure. At face value that wouldn't make sense if we took Classic's time traveling as a legitmate feat, because that would make his Classic Sonic faster than Dreamcast Sonic. But if we agree that it is an outlier, then that would rightfully put classic Sonic back to the bottom. If we do this, that would suggest that Modern Sonic is doing most of the work in restoring time and space. And while it has not been stated directly, it is implied that Modern Sonic is faster than classic Sonic. As Classic Sonic is shown that he isn't capable of boosting.

"I didn't see Sonics speed fixing anything in the ending and he didn't by defeating Time Eater. So it's PIS/outlier. And no respect thread says Sonic is that fast so yeah"

It was already directly stated that it was fixed so it really doesn't need to be shown, and it was probably not shown because Sonic team was lazy, the whole story and dialogue is proof of low effort in terms of story. Also, can you elaborate the last part of your first sentence? I don't want to be rude but I don't think you conveyed your point properly because of how you structured it.

You also said that what the two Tails said can be considered an exaggerated statement and hyperbole, and while that defintely can be the case, in the story Tails plays the role of the brainiac that can explain to the characters and audience of what is going on if it something that is really complicated that the average viewer wouldn't know, and Tails has shown to do that in the most recent game Forces, explaining how the phantom ruby worked. So there is still is credibilaty to what Tails is saying. The authors most of the time, put these characters in so they can explain what is going on most naturally, because if they gave it to another character, that would be inconsistent to their role in the story.
