My question is: is it even possible for a pony, not including Celestia and Luna, other than Dash to perform the sonic rainboom, or something that may be equivalent to it? |
| Drasvin #340569 11 months ago |
Why would they have given Rainbow Dash a speeding ticket? She performed that Sonic Rainboom during a sanctioned flight competition. That would be like giving speeding tickets to race car drivers. And there is the fact that Rainbow Dash was using all that speed to save four lives.
@anon 541 Probably but doubtful. Rainbow Dash's special talent is flying really fast (well probably being able to do anything really fast, but that's besides the point) and even she had trouble pulling it off. So it would probably require another pegasus whose special talent is speed and has top-notch athletic form. |

That and it's like trying to give a speeding ticket to a jet. There's just no point.
Also, it seems to me that only other high speed "rainbow mane" pegasi can actually perform the sonic rainboom. For other high speed pegasi without a rainbow mane, it would have to be renamed based on the colors they produce in the sonic boom. |

'Think so, NE? I mean, it does fit Rainbow awfully well...
But I kinda caught the implication that the rain- part was just what happens when a pony breaks the sound barrier, somehow >.> |

Gah, forgot to comment on the image o.o
It's funny! ^^; |

I aways wondered if the sonic rainboom happened because of her mane and tail or if it was something related to breaking the sound barrier. |
| Drasvin #340658 11 months ago |
@NE Unless the prismatic wave (read: rainbow-colored shockwave) that is generated by the sonic rainboom is due to the ambient magic of Equestria combined with the magic that presumably allows the pony to fly fast enough to break the sound barrier in the first place. If that is the case, then the prismatic wave should be the same regardless of the coloration of the pegasus that causes it (though difference in magic would cause shifts in coloration. So a dragon or gryphon breaking the sound barrier would look different than a pegasus), though the ensuing contrail probably is based on mane & tail color, as the contrail seemed to flow from Rainbow Dash's mane and tail.
Though that theory also would mean that the prismatic wave probably should wreak all kind of havoc upon the effect area. |

Well I guess if Spit fire did it she'd perform a sonic Fire Bomb |
| Anonymous #340854 11 months ago |
If Firefly did it she'd perform a Sonic Blue-m. |

@Drasvin - Per your first comment; Its for the first Sonic Rainboom. During the judging of the competition, they discovered she had an outstanding warrant for an unpaid speeding ticket regarding the unsanctioned use of breaking the sound barrier |
| Drasvin #341779 11 months ago |
@anon 537 That is an interesting idea. Though it shouldn't be too hard for Rainbow Dash to ask Celestia to pardon her from that ticket. She has helped save Equestria at least once. Though there still is the question of why do they have an aerial speed limit. Most pegasi appear to be in considerable control of their flight. And them ramming into things seems to have about as much effect as if somepony had run full tilt into it. Potential for injury, maybe a broken bone or two at most, but most likely non-fatal. If anything there should be a limit to how much weight a pegasus can carry in flight, in-case they drop it. |

@854 bitch plz. firefly can rip holes into the space-time continuum without going very fast. if she tried doing one it would create a black hole or send her into another part of the galaxy |
