About these numbers: Values are Ultimate run speeds in game units per frame from the game files. Initial dash bursts and air speed run on separate numbers, so rows pin the run only.

About this converter

Ultimate stores one run speed per fighter from 1.18 to 3.85 units per frame. Incineroar opens at 1.18, Robin at 1.265, Jigglypuff at 1.271, Ganondorf at 1.34, Zelda at 1.43, Donkey Kong at 1.873, Inkling at 1.925, Marth at 1.964, Bowser at 1.971, Pikachu at 2.039, Roy at 2.145, Cloud at 2.167, Mewtwo at 2.255, Greninja at 2.288, Zero Suit Samus at 2.31, Fox at 2.402, Sheik at 2.42, Captain Falcon at 2.552 and Sonic at 3.85. That makes one Sonic equal over three Incineroars of run speed. Every value here is the Ultimate run with dash bursts left out.

How to use it

Pick two fighters and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in speed. Try 1 Sonic against Incineroars.

Initial dash speed is a separate stat and often differs, for example Falcon dashes at 1.98 but runs at 2.552, so this table pins the run only. Little Mac at 2.464 and Mythra at 2.41 sit between Falcon and Sheik on the full roster. Fighter weights for the same cast run on the companion weights page.
