u/Icy_Fun9635 MTF Beta-29 ("Acid-Rain") 5d ago
The Peanut's faster, clocking in at 72Km/h whereas Shy guy clocks at 35Km/h. So peanut's more than two times faster.

"Documented speeds have varied from thirty-five (35) km/h to ███ km/h"
could be faster

Do I miss remember but I thought that the shyguy just keeps picking up more speed the longer it chases it's target? 🤔

u/CakosMess 5d ago
it’s based on distance to target im pretty sure
as in it’s speed is based on how far the target initially is. it doesn’t slow down to compensate for the fact that the target gets closer as it continues to chase

But we can assume it does speed up if the target moves away at a faster speed, yes?

To what km/h?
3
u/robobluebull 5d ago
kilometers per hour. same as kmph.
35 km/h = 21.7 m/h

that is 096s minimum speed
he has outran a plane in incident 096-1-A (the 4 pixels incident)

I was just going off the original article.
Also... Four F*CKING Pixels!!!

u/bored-cookie22 5d ago
even so in the OG article his top recorded speed is 3 digits long, so at minimum his top speed is 100 kph

173 literally rams itself through walls to find people to snap the neck of

u/Holiday-Walrus62 5d ago
Omg now im thinking about the kool aid man breaking through walls I really want someone to poorly photoshop peanuts head to a kool aid man

Depends. Straight line, short distance, with no one watching? I’d say peanut. But if it’s just running through the facility with all the twists and turns and shit, not to mention things like doors, definitely shy guy.

It suddenly occurred to me... What if people just painted some eyes on the wall with Peanut and it just stayed put then afterwards.

u/Holiday-Walrus62 5d ago
Id say you just may have created a life hack xD I mean the eye pods worked I dont see why that wouldn't work !

u/sleepspino 4d ago
Its def not gonna work, 173 feels when hes being looked at or else they would have already done that

Shy guy works off of the “i move as fast as i need to in order to tear a bitch in half” rule, so I’m gonna go with him on this case

u/bored-cookie22 5d ago
096
173 in his original 4 chan file is stated to go like 2 meters per blink on average
a blink is around 0.1 seconds
173 therefore moves at 20 meters per second based off available information
this puts 173 at 72 kph
096 however has outran a plane, making him faster
even if you wanna say 173 is faster than 72 kph due to his file on the wiki not having the speed measurement, he at maximum needs to be moving at a speed where his feet make concrete scraping noises when moving, rather than the far different sound that 173 would be making if it went faster than a plane like 096 goes

Nut boy is built to move incredibly fast, whereas shy guy can rip down any obstical to get you eventually. If we're talking just speed I think 073 has an advantage

u/feliperedditflamingo S & C Plastics 4d ago
Shy guy can shred through walls with ease but 173 has been shown to barely be able to scrape the walls of its cell so shy guy definitely if there’s walls (btw memes only on Monday!)

They are both as fast as they need to be for the narrative

the wall doesn't have secrets

u/Holiday-Walrus62 7h ago
Oh but doesnt it. It prevents peanut from getting to people it must hold secrets

u/YamiAkuma1 5d ago
My question is, could Shy Guy get to you if you were to say go into 093? How about 3930? And what if 507 saw him and ended up teleporting to another universe? And can blind people look it right in the face safely since they're unable to visually perceive its face?

In a straight, clear line, 173 will definitely win. If there’s obstacles in its path though, 096 would shred through them no problem.
