The Sonic Speedrun Community is devastated to hear of @shin3.bsky.social's passing, a true soldier for Sonic Frontiers and its dedicated runner-base.

In less than a year she became a pillar for regular runners & newcomers alike going above and beyond to equip all with Frontiers speedrun knowledge.

Within the short time i got to know and be with her in and outside of the community, she became one of the best friends i've ever had.

I will forever be grateful for what she did to the game, the community, myself and her friends.

I will miss you so much.

Rest in peace, friend 💜

We hope she rests in peace knowing how much of an overwhelmingly positive impact she has left on the Frontiers speedrunning community.

Sonic eats chili dogs, but Shadow eats shadow dogs. At costco, they make them special just for him no extra charge. Shadow Generations is live at #FlameFatales
