Seems straight forward, not every teleportation needs to be instant.

Actually speaking of teleportation, Cut Man cut a log while teleporting (said teleporter is 2218032c) and Mega Man was able to battle him head on multiple times. If anything, it seems Mega Man's speed should be upgraded from MFTL to MFTL+.

I don't think teleportation can scale to combat speed or reactions or that attacking while teleporting would be combat speed. It's not like Thor has Infinite speed based on being able to attack while teleporting. Teleportation is just an ability, not speed; though time it takes to teleport or versatility with it can be helpful in battle.

It's the speed of the teleport itself, doesn't scale to normal speed.

Speaking of speed, shouldn't Classic Mega Man be granted Perception Manipulation for his Speed Gear? Where he moves so fast, that time around him slows down completely. Making it easy to dodge incoming projectiles and enemy attacks.

@Violet
Yeah I agree. It is acknowledged though in his profile as his overall speed (combat, reaction, etc) is listed as higher.
@Dark
I agree, but as established earlier, Mega Man's teleportation isn't your typical teleportation. Characters in the Mega Man verse become a beam of light and travel to their destination as opposed to just vanishing into thin air. Isn't this akin to feats where characters could react while travelling on certain objects or something? For example, Mario got his speed by being able to react while being launched by a Launch Star so isn't this a similar principle?

In that case, I think the possible speed upgrades are fine. Reppuzan is going to be inactive for a while, but he usually has the best input regarding Mega Man. Or maybe we could as CrimsonStarFalle.

Well, this is interesting.
So, as far as we know, there's no actual contradictions about the speed upgrade as far as i know (most feats involve reacting while traveling interplanetary distances, pretty casually as well), but it's still a really big upgrade, so imo "MFTL, possibly MFTL+" should be a better option than straight up MFTL+.
This would scale to basically the entire verse (outside of Legends, Battle Network and Starforce) as well, so it would take a lot of work to get through every page, though i think i can get to it tomorrow.

Battle Network and Starforce already have better Massively FTL+ anyway, but legends doesn't scale and is doomed to be the weakest Mega Man Verse.

Actually, taking another look at the video, i don't think Cutman cut the log while teleporting. If you watch it Frame-by-Frame, you can see that Cutman actually starts the cut after reaching his destination.
I have my doubts on MFTL+ now.

I kinda figured that, so I guess no changes need to be made then?

Yeah, in the end teleport speed stays since it's not really a teleport, and nobody scales to it in speed.

So, I guess I should just close this thread then.
