James Vega = Massively Hypersonic?

[SheevShezarrine]

I noticed that a lot of Mass Effect characters have a speed of Massively Hypersonic by virtue of being comparable to James Vega, but when I go to James Vega's page, his speed says "comparable to James Vega". This has me confused, because: 1. He's being compared to himself and 2. I haven't seen where this comes from, what feat he has that puts him at Massively Hypersonic speeds. Can anyone clarify?

Haha, thats not supposed to be like that, but here is the calc for their MHS speed

I was going to make the changes, but thanks for changing it Weekly.

And kudos to you Sheev for noticing this.

Are there any other examples of this sort of speed? Because having watched the games and such, this speed seems really unreasonable.

 

[Colonel_Krukov]

Why?

 

[EsotericDichotomy]

Mass Effect is generally really good on its science, and humanoids cannot move at MHS speeds. It is seen in numerous occasions, characters sprinting or moving in cutscenes and no MHS speeds are present when one observes the distances. No one is zipping across entire battlefields and there is no slow motion effect in game that even suggests such speeds. The characters use the vehicles they do that also do not massively break the sound barrier on land and near ground level and cannot outrun these vehicles.

This came up in a discussion I was having when I tried to use Vsbattle wiki information, and I was told to get more sources than a fan calc to verify the suspciously high speeds.

No no, I mean base speed, not the Adrenaline Rush ability. That is pretty cool though since it does make things go a bit slow motion, but again not MHS speeds. You never have enemies that are Thousands of meters away run up to you in a second or so.

Idk dude, Thane and Kai Leng are pretty quick, biotic charge allows troops to charge at far away opponents in seconds, dodging things like shockwaves and lasers from Reapers is a pain (that mission in ME3 still gets my heart pumping to this day, this would be a good thing to calc if it wasn't for aim dodging), I guess Shepard has no trouble dodging sniper rounds too (I've been able to do this with Ryder in game and Adrenaline Rush isn't a power anymore).
