I just came across this calc which uses the same timeframe as this calc which, to me, seems like blatant Calc Stacking.
Here's the justification given for the timeframe:
The calc itself defends this by saying "It's not a calculation, it's stated from the story itself", which I do not believe justifies it. Despite the Calc Stacking page not explicitly saying anything on this, it does say some things which I think imply it:
Since I can't ping staff myself, I'd like someone to ping @Damage3245, @CloverDragon03, @Armorchompy, @KLOL506, and @M3X for accepting these calcs, and @DontTalkDT due to him having participated in many threads about Calc Stacking. It may also be an idea to ping the creators of the calcs, @LIFE_OF_KING and @FlareTuathaDe .
Here's the justification given for the timeframe:
This is taking a stated speed from a completely different scene, then scaling it to another character, then scaling it to another character, and then using that for the calc. I think this should not be used due to going across many separate scenes (the initial statement, the first bit of scaling, the second bit of scaling, and finally the feat being calced).Canonically a Secondth of Lévis is stated to move 7 times the speed of sound. After that, Mash casually reacts and calculate that same speed. Even though Lévis saw Mash casually defending his attacks, he believed that Domina was invincible. Domina with the Third Line (a form stronger than the base) was able to go faster than Mash to the point that he could not defend. Therefore, I will use the mach 7 speed as the reaction for Domina, since it is more consistent to use a canonical number than to assume something random. And no, it is not "calculation stacking", since I am not using another calculation but yes the manga itself.
The calc itself defends this by saying "It's not a calculation, it's stated from the story itself", which I do not believe justifies it. Despite the Calc Stacking page not explicitly saying anything on this, it does say some things which I think imply it:
I think the concern of characters and attacks varying in speed, and thus not using speeds from other instances, still applies here.Using speed of characters or attacks calculated at other instances can't be used, as characters and attacks can vary in speed. This is the case regardless of whether the character is seriously trying to do his best or anything similar.
Here it says that stated timeframes and speeds can be used to gather a distance, which can then be used for calculations. It does not say that stated speeds can generally be used, particularly across separate instances.
Since I can't ping staff myself, I'd like someone to ping @Damage3245, @CloverDragon03, @Armorchompy, @KLOL506, and @M3X for accepting these calcs, and @DontTalkDT due to him having participated in many threads about Calc Stacking. It may also be an idea to ping the creators of the calcs, @LIFE_OF_KING and @FlareTuathaDe .
