Cave Story is one of my favorite games of all time. It has a good story, characters, plays off tropes very well, and has amazing mechanics. The music is also superb.
However, some user that created the profiles seems to not understand the speed of the characters. For instance, the reason everyone is MHS is becuase Quote dodges "missles and lighting". And every other character is scaled to him. Citation needed?
Firstly, this is not natural lightning. It's a magic based attack, and on-screen/in-game it does not move much faster than the character, which we can see moves at a speed in the range of Human level and Superhuman. It doesn't jump across the screen faster than a single frame, and there's no cinematic time. The game features no cutscenes, just tect boxes and instances the player must read while somthing else happens, but the entire game is played at one speed.
Secondly, the missles. Most of you know how fast a missile is. However, in the game, most of these explosive projectiles do not seem to move like real life missiles launched from silos, or something of that sort. They don't move anywhere near that fast. In fact you can see they move like RPG-7 rockets. Key word rockets, not missiles. Just cause the game is poorly translated doesn't mean it should still be seen as a missile and therefore move as fast as one. Even if it was intended, there are instances where we know the actuallity of author/writer's intent/WoG doesn't portray how fast something actually is.
And from the Cave Story Wiki, it does say it is a "long range arm dealing big damage" but this is revised to say "wide range" in a remake of the game, further showing the translation errors. From what Hop knows, it might be a modified/cartoony version of the RPG-7, since it seems that is the closest thing we can compare it to.
But furthermore, It's not even these missiles he's dodging. No other character in the game uses this weapon. I suspect he is referring to this final fights of the game. In which the boss Undead Core and the Doctor have magic like missiles it fights with.
Really what I think is going off the lore and gameplay. Quote is a robot, so it's safe to assume he's on the high end of this gap. His movement speed and reaction might be very high on the scale but other than that I am ceratin they are not MHS.
