you can naruto run but you can’t naruto hide
Alright I thought I made it clear I do NOT Naruto run my arms are at a completely different angle it’s something else entirely
quick do an ia what are the mathematics of anime runs
I’ll have it ready for you by tomorrow.
Hopefully tonight though
Why Sonic’s run is different and objectively better than Naruto running
By brighams
Okay first off let’s talk angles. Take a look at Naruto doing his thing here:
Let’s analyse this shall we. Naruto’s legs are pretty much perpendicular to the ground, at least as much as a regular runner would be.
But his back is bent way too much, so it make an angle of about 110 degrees with his legs.
In addition, his arms are thrown back, making them a right angle with his legs.
All in all some really weird positions and angles.
Now let’s take a look at Sonic.
His legs are much more splayed out than Naruto, but at their most extended, Sonic’s legs reach about to where the blue lines are, making his average leg angle about the red line.
This creates a much better angle with the ground, being about 70 degrees rather than a full 90.
His back is bent as well, but rather than folding up like Naruto does, he keeps his back approximately in line with the angle of his legs.
Finally, the arms. They may be perpendicular to the ground like Naruto, but they create a 60 degree angle with his legs.
Overall, much better run, angles make some sense, feels more natural.
Also, their forms are completely different. Take the hands.
Naruto runs with his palms facing up, like absolutely no one does. Like, it requires you to bend your elbows all weird and is really not comfortable.
Sonic, on the other hand, has his palms facing inward. This is much closer to what a character running at high speeds would actually do, just a standard resting position, thrown back due to the extreme speeds. Good hand placement.
Naruto runs with his head bent at a ridiculous angle compared to his back, and is looking straight ahead, maybe even a little bit upwards.
Sonic’s head is actually tilted down somewhat, and is in line with his spine, like a normal person’s would be. And this downward tilt is compensated by his eyes, which are in fact looking straight forward.
Naruto takes tiny little baby steps. He barely even spread his legs apart. His legs must be moving at ridiculous speeds with those strides.
Sonic, however, takes full advantage of the fact that his legs have a full range of motion, with a wide stride that makes it slightly more plausible that he might be able to run at supersonic speeds.
In conclusion, Sonic’s run is totally different and much better than Naruto’s.
