Jimmy Hopkins speed and lifting strength upgrades

[GoCommitDi]

Jimmy is able to outrun pitbulls, and according to our pitbull profile, they are able to run around 30 mph at most, which is Superhuman. I think it's safe to use that high-end rather than Peak Human because the pitbulls in the game get really pissed off at Jimmy over the smallest conveniences (they will bite him if you're stationary), as seen in the clip.

This is already consistent with the rest of the speed feats on his profile, such as Russell running after a police car (which is currently listed as combat speed for some reason).

His lifting strength upgraded to Class 10 based on him upscaling Hal and Norton, who chucked down trees without any effort. This is consistent with him and Edgar easily ripping off lead pipes from walls, as well as Jimmy prying open locked garage doors and metal gates.

Sure, this looks simple enough.

Something I wanna add speed-wise.
I do want to provide speed ratings for certain weapons. Jimmy Hopkins has two weapons: the Super Slingshot and the Potato Gun.

The Potato Gun is straightforward; field testing shows that potato cannons can typically shoot at a range of 28 to 48 m/s depending on the material used as ammo (obviously excluding outliers): https://www.technologyreview.com/20...rce-measures-potato-cannon-muzzle-velocities/

The Super Slingshot is harder to pin down. If you look here, the Super Slingshot appears to have a telescopic end:

Similar telescopic ends can be found on hunting slingshots:

Hunting slingshots can fire projectiles from 150 to 200 miles per hour (67.056 to 89.408 m/s): https://huntslingshots.com/how-fast-does-a-slingshot-shoot/

I think that should really boost Hopkins' speed.

Bump

Edited to add a lifting strength update that I (embarrassingly) forgot to mention

I think the lifting strength feats are also fine.

I'd go with a "peak human to superhuman" for safer scaling, as we don't know if those pitbulls can match the fastest pitbulls ever recorded irl.

This is already consistent with the rest of the speed feats on his profile, such as Russell running after a police car (which is currently listed as combat speed for some reason).

I'm not sure that counts as such an impressive speed feat, do we see anything else aside from that scene? He intercepted the car while it was slowing down from the first turn and he was seemingly being outsped for those brief moments before the second turn.

I don't think it works quite the same, because the kids aren't uprooting the trees, since the stump remains on the floor. They push the trees down somehow cutting/breaking them at the base, but that would require a different calc altogether, and such speed could very well be too irrealistic idk. Also, is that an ambush by any chance? Could they have cut or chopped parts of the trees beforeheand, making it much easier to push them down? Of course it's still an impressive feat anyway, but not that much.
How do we know those doors and gates were locked and not simply closed?
