Listed video game related measurements [eg pokedex entries] that make no sense


I Hate Snatch Steal

Recommended Posts

I found a few of these just now so I thought I'd create this thread to poke fun at them.

 

Feel free to post any inaccuracy/discrepancy between a listed number such as on a character's bio page on a website or an in game database, and how something is portrayed on screen.

 

Some pokedex entry goofs are reasonably well known, such as Wailord being lighter then air if you estimate its density with a cylinder.

 

However I found some funny Sonic related goofs that I don't think people know as well.

 

According to these:

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Eyecatch_card

 

and in some cases the official character pages:

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Miles_%22Tails%22_Prower

 

http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog

 

Sonic weighs the same as Chris Thorndike despite being 40 cm or about 28% shorter

 

Also, according to this Tails weighs 20kg or about 44 pounds. I'm not saying that's too heavy to fly, but look at this video and tell me if it makes sense now that you know that.

(If you didn't watch or didn't figure it out, Most people reading this, such as me are older then Chris and I can't suddenly lift 44 pounds like that. I know because I've lifted comparable sacks of grain before. Edit: I meant that lifting it so suddenly doesn't make sense.)

 

According to google, Chris's listed measurements make sense, and I was half expecting them not to.

 

However, I'm also surprised to find out that Sonic and Tails are apparently very dense. A 33.5 inch human is on average 26.5 pounds, (google "average height of a 3 year old" if you want to check) Tails is according to the sources above 31.4961 inches and about 60% heavier [if I did that % math right]. I wasn't expecting him to weight exactly the same as a comparable human, but being this far off was very odd.

Lifting 44 pounds ain't hard, or even 20kg, considering I'm 5'10 and I weigh double that.

If I can pick it up, mutated fox tails spinning like rotors quite fast probably could.

I didn't say it was impossible to lift 40 pounds at all, I meant that a mere 12 year old human lifting that much that fast was suspicious.
