Ash Williams - Speed Scaling Revisions

[Qawsedf234]

Basically, Dynamite Ash has the following speed rating:

Subsonic travel speed with Sub-relativistic combat and reaction speed (Moved fast enough to leave after-images. Outran an RPG. Reacted to various attacks from Freddy Krueger, who can attack this fast. Faster than Jason, who could also catch a machete propelled by Freddy in the Dream World. Dodged these energy beams)

The issue is that this rating is based entirely off a throwing feat, which we don't scale speed to:

Note that throwing speed is typically not applied to combat speed, but only treated as attack speed, as it is usually considered a feat of strength more so than a measure of how fast the character can run or fight.

And it is from Freddy's telekinesis within the Dream World where he moves a house. Ash has no reason to scale to this value, especially when Freddy and Jason don't scale to this value in the first place.

His speed should just be "Superhuman with Subsonic reactions"

Agreed, this does seem out of place.

Why the nerf to Superhuman?

None of the linked feats have a calc for subsonic. The only one we have is dodging gunfire which is more combat speed than travel speed.

Actually, dodging a Shotgun would be Supersonic, not Subsonic. And generating after images or outrunning RPGs would be Subsonic and Subsonic+ respectively now that I double checked. Though, not sure if he physically outran the latter as opposed to simply dodging it. I agree that what throwing feat doesn't prove all of Freddy's attack speeds are the same or what his melee attack/combat speeds are. So I still agree with Sub-Relativistic removal though.

Yeah Ash should be "Subsonic with Supersonic reactions" from the feats he has, that's the generic ratings we give for those types of feats without calculations

And I obvs agree with removing the sub-rel rating, there's numerous reasons it's wrong
