However, its argued that Shadow is faster than Sonic, since he did flat out outrun Sonic's homing attack and has beaten him in a race. Shadow has outrun black holes, survived when time and space collapsed, created portals in time and space, traveled through time, breathes in space, can enter cyberspace with a karate chop (its as weird as it sounds), can heal himself, is in some forms a genius (which may or may not matter depending on how they run with it), can create afterimages and tornados from running, has fought gods, and all of that with all four of his limiters on. While I'm fairly certain that Super Shadow won't make an appearance, Chaos Boost should, but Shadow without his limiters stacked on either form hasn't been done but theoretically is possible.
