Coco is faster then Crash, therefore it's slightly easier to finish time trials.

[Ptirle 108]

As stated above, I'm shocked to see that no one figured this out. Also didnt find anything anywhere about this and trophy guide didnt state it.  Choose first level, try with Crash and then try with Coco and see for yourself... Coco is faster about 2-3 seconds.

Good to know.  Have to try it later. 

[Shadiochao 2,004]

Didn't seem any faster when I just tested it.

 

I did the first level with both characters several times each and always got roughly 48 seconds. Any differences in time seemed to be because of how I moved to avoid the enemies rather than the character I used.

 

I didn't collect any time crates, moved forward constantly and I reached the maximum height with all my jumps, to make sure it was as consistent as possible.

I'll upload my times later, in the meantime, see this, just found it and it seems it's not just the first game...

I don't think she's faster.  Crash has longer arms.

[ZachBoardyHD 208]

I also noticed how she's a little faster and her jumping height is a little tad higher too

If it's the case, I'll maybe jump back to the game and take Coco only for the Relics.

Both need 5 seconds to reach the end . crash starts at 3 ->8  and coco 17-> 22 seconds. you are just misleaded by the animation. It looks faster because she has different animation.

 

Jump hight is same aswell , she is little bit smaller so it looks like she jumps higher. I have done multiple relic runs with both character and they are both same. (it looks like faster running aswell because she is bit smaller ) .

I noticed the hightened speed of Coco buf If I'm wrong about the difference I will use Coco for the games still as it feels more natural to play her then Crash due not feeling slow and clunky like

@ZachBoardyHD So you mean that they work mechanically the exact same while their animations just feel differently? I have doubt that it will make us perform better.

In the Video he said in describtion he timed it exactly and there is slithly difference. BUT he was not climbing straight line , there was different movement and lines on both runs. IF you do the same climbing 20 times only with crash , without using straight line you will get different times everytime.

Im pretty sure they changed the model and animation , but that doesnt change the programmed running speed.

 

Im could be wrong at the end but most of the "feels different" comes from the different animation and model.

[MaxieM0us3 1,456]

@Xionx I got my last gems with Coco, just for the change. I think that I'll do the Relics with Coco until now, so I'll profit of both.

I noticed when playing Coco I was dying less and it felt less clunky/sluggish, so that's an advantage if it's true that they both mechanically play the same

That may be the case of how it feels different, but for me it works better as it seems smother and less clunky, hense tricking my mind when playing

Nothing against that , if it helps than it is fine. I did many runs with coco and i have to agree it "feels" smoother .  But model and animation is more important for that feeling than some people think. Like i said , i can be wrong after all, but vids with runs on different lines is not a proof for me.

@ZachBoardyHD Probably because girls cheer us up...

Without Mr Tom Hardy in the picture nothing will cheer me up fully 😂😀

Does sb try "stormy ascent" with Coco? I had big pbs with her in the first stairs (I was even blocked due to the timing with alternate stairs...) while it comes naturally with Crash. So I would assert that Crash is quicker for jumps

Nope, they reach the same height with their jumps at the same speed. As it was said above, there's a slight difference in their animations which causes you to shift your timing when you move from one character to the other. Being in a game where timing is crucial, that tiny shift will determine whether or not you'll survive a level.
