By the time Matthias fights them, the entire LCE facility is absolutely littered with bodies. If he really stomped around the entire facility killing it one by one he would have just regrouped with Kira while still trying to deal with it.
But why is the assumption that they fought across the whole lCE facility in the first place? They literally coudnt have, they would had ran into the other teams if they did. Matthias probably destroyed every corpse near them and then finished the one possesed by HT.
It's still a feat in the range, is all I'm trying to say there. Matthias isn't the only indication they can at least compare to lightspeed, it's not outlandish to say it's a possibility when Vespa 2 years prior to becoming a Color could manage that.
I argue that there is a huge difference between barely rel perception vs barely rel combat speed.
In Somber Procuration's case that's the intended function of the move, charging across the range and attacking the enemy. It consistently has that interaction where most melee pages don't, it's not a technical error like someone skipping forward a bit or grabbing someone from across the room like they're Marth because they knocked the enemy too far back or were dealing with something ranged.
Okay, lets just accept this as facts then, i can't proof nor debunk this right now. If I replicate this moment against Kalos or Roland range pages, do we then adjust the upwards until we reach mftl?
More specifically it's the fact that the setting has all kinds of advanced technology depending on what can be afforded and thus causes massive dissonances between higher and lower tier characters despite seemingly having the same types of clothing and of weapons.

The same guns, being the ones used by fullstop, aren't faster beyond the Atelier bullet. Rather different guns used by higher end fighters such as the Soldatos present in Star of the City when Librarians have grown much more powerful, should be much faster from their showings.
See, I dont believe this is unreasonable to assume. That is most likely the case. But is this reasonable assumption proof enough that those high end guns are so massively faster that entire civilizations could rise and fall between low end and high end guns being fired?
And this is also just another case of trying to fit a square into the circle hole. You have to reason out how this gigantic speed discrepancy makes sense within the setting because of the calc.
I mean... what speed do you think Roland is, then? You mentioned bullets explicitly as a cap in the post I was responding to, and you've voiced grievances on the feats that aren't Supersonic, but now you're saying that he can be faster in the same breadth as a mention of a core part of the setting being ignored? Would they be less ignored if we used specifically something like the time ripper temporally accelerating themselves through hundreds of hours within a few seconds, despite that still putting them in the MHS range?
This argument really irks me. What happened to nuance?? I said that bullet are a
soft cap narratively. This DOES NOT imply that nothing in PM is faster than bullets, but that the existence of bullets within the top tiers doesnt allow for speeds that completely invalidate said bullets. If we take Rolands statement for example, this statement would proof a myriad of speed tierings above bullets. I have mentioned it above already, how Rolands statement could work even if god tiers were just twice as fast a bullets. 5 Times, 10 times. But the mere fact that Roland uses guns himself implies that said speed above bullets cant be too high, or else it would be a literal liability for him to pull them out against anything above punkass proselytes.
I take grievances with those calcs because they are iffy and cause major issues with PM's setting. If guns were used solely by low and mid tiers then we woudnt had this debate. But Soldatos to Roland are using guns.
I mean yeah? Time Rippers speed amp is on screen feat with more authorial and narrative intent than a calc based on a animation quirk and a offscreen feat.
But seeing as I had to argue with 3 other PM supporters on this matter, it seems that I am alone in this stance. I take this as my cue to remove myself from powerscaling PM here, seeing as I dont see eye to eye with the community here.
