I think this term is being used WAY too loosely and I hear some people say that "putting too many restrictions on it will limit it to very few characters" which is actually true and fair. This is a vs battles wiki so giving character "infinite speed" that easily is HUGE as it is impossible for any character that's on a lower category of speed to even fight these, so i don't see there being a problem with it being a very limited concept. Now as for things about infinite speed:
1. A character that is infinite at some point, at any point (unless this speed is used via temporal hax) will be infinite in speed unless he gets downgraded by some higher entity or something similar. This fact comes from the fact that you can't "slow down" if your speed is infinite. No matter how much you try to divide infinite or substract from it, it is not possible to lower an infinite amount of something.
2. This is not necessary but it can help to give a character infinite speed. Infinite striking strength. A lot of series forget about that fact with characters that use time hax of any kind so it's not a must on every character with infinite speed (the mods should decide on this), but it can help to prove that a character who was stated to have this kind of speed is not an outlier.
3. Time Stop inducement. Infinite Speed gives a character an "unblockable" time stop hax. No matter how fast or how resistant the other character is, someone who truly has Infinite Speed will see him on a time stop forever.
4. Time Stop Immunity. Infinite Speed gives a character absolute immunity to time hax especially the ones that slow down, accelerate or stop time. Time Stop keeps time at a certain point which we can call point 0, infinite speed is the ability to move at will within that point 0. Any character that has at some point been stuck in a time stop doesn't have infinite speed, and any statement in this case are clearly outliers.
5. Inability to interact with stuff. A being with infinite speed as i said will be forced on an eternal time stop he can't turn off so interaction (i mean chatting or stuff that requires the other party to react) with anyone other than a being with infinite speed is impossible.
6. Ability to move in a timeless void wouldn't give infinite speed, like not in any case. Because the timeless void is basically a place where time doesn't exist. So if a human were to go there it wouldn't mean that he would be unable to move in there it would mean that for as long as he's there, time for the rest of the world (for anything that's not the void) wouldn't pass. So if he were to go to the void on the 1st of June 2018 and stay 30 earthly years there, when he came back it would still be 1st of june 2018. A good example of the realm not having anything to do with the ppl themselves is UQ Holder! where the MC was able to live and stay in a realm where not only did time not pass/exist but present past and future were 1. His present self met the past version of his master resulting in the future. That doesn't mean that the MC has infinite speed or immesurable speed, it means that the realm has those properties. I would really like this part to be fixed on the speed guidelines.
7. Training or speeding up yourself to infinite speed is impossible. You can't achieve what is infinite. So any character who doesn't posses some kind of hax or didn't get a boost from a higher entity but was claimed to have "achieved" infinite speed is an outlier (a similar case is when Buu said he achieved omnipotence by absorbing Vegeto, you can't achieve infinity through training or boosting urself in speed or strength).
8. Inconsistencies. A character that has not shown absolute consistency on the infinite speed category cannot be defined as having infinite speed unless he has hax that allow him to do so.
9. People need to be careful when regarding characters that state to be able to "accelerate to infinity" as that is impossible. So any feat regarding "that" should be considered MFTL+ as that type of character can at best reach any level of speed that is countably infinite. So any number is possible but not infinity itself.
Now there are a lot of characters that currently have an "infinite speed" but that have not the right to do so, i can name some of them, but i mostly did this thread due to the recent "infinite speed buff scalings" that have been going on, since no one was doing this I decided to do it.
