Subway Surfer v. Temple Run

Do you have games on your phone ? I'm sure we all have that one little kid on our blocks that always looks over our shoulders as we're texting waiting to play a game on our phones and kill our batteries. When I first got my iPhone the two games my sisters would ask me for is Temple Run and Subway Surfer. Now neither of theses characters are fighters, but I wonder which one of these iPhone champions would win in a race to the death. Lets break down their accomplishments, powers, and skills. We will use standard power-ups (1 of each) and stats for both characters. No upgrades ! 

Jake 

Jake is the default character in Subway Surfers and our racer in today's face off. In Jake's arsenal we have 

• Hover-board - A Back to the Future like item that last for 30 seconds. and in those 30 seconds Jake will be protected from crashing. But when it crashes the hover-board will explode and have to recharge after a few seconds.

• Jet pack- This item give Jake the ability to fly and becomes invincible to everything. Also last for 30 seconds

• Super Sneakers- Jake wears these sneakers and can bounce with every step, allowing him to jump over obstacles.

• Power Jumper- A pogo stick like item that allows the character to make a super jump in the air

• Mega Head-start - An upgraded version of the head-start (which is no longer available) that will allow you to zoom in the sky for 30 seconds and allow you to avoid all obstacles in the beginning of the game.

Guy Dangerous

Guy is the default character in Temple Run and our other racer in the face off. In Guy's arsenal we have

• Invisibility- Guy becomes immune to all obstacles (30 seconds) and fills in holes and gaps in the ground. 

• Speed Boost - Boost Guy forward a certain distance and he is unable to die (approximately 8 seconds) and is under control of the game for this duration. 

AND THE WINNER IS .....

The Subway Surfer

Both players have good power ups and half of them I chose not to include because they focus on coins and not survival. So when we factor in only the performance power-ups, Jake has a bigger arsenal than Guy. However if we allowed upgrades in the Face-off maybe Guy would have a better chance.
