I’m sorry, but is this discussion trying to say that increasing your speed is not acceleration?

It seems so, but this is based on another thread, so I didn't wanna bring it up without knowledge.

That’s literally impossible.
Acceleration is a change in speed over time.
If you were going one speed a second before, and a different speed a second after, your acceleration either increased or decreased.
If Weiss is making people go faster, she is intrinsically increasing their acceleration, as she has increased their initial velocity over a certain time frame.

Velocity and acceleration are two very different thingsaffects velocity, repulsion, and attraction

Excuse me? You’re claiming that she changes velocity. That is acceleration.

Cool? People were having issus with the word acceleration being used which is why it needs changing

You said this. They're the same thing. God, how did I not notice this?
- 8,161

Who cares about the wording? What she’s doing is the exact same, she’s increasing velocity, and therefore increasing acceleration. The word doesn’t matter, she’s doing both by doing one.

The only material difference I could imagine between velocity and acceleration manipulation is the ability to alter force, but she already has the ability to affect attraction and repulsion, so I think the ability to manipulate acceleration falls out of her other abilities.
Edit: at some level, this does feel highly semantic. I don't think that, with her power set as defined, changing the wording would have any tangible effect on a vs. debate.

This feels like a hasty attempt to change wording in order to get one over on someone in an entirely different debate.

It is, Abstractions had an issu with the word acceleration, im changing it because its nonexistent in Weiss' powerset

But acceleration and speed amps are the same thing-

Abstractions, who is currently arguing that the use of the word 'acceleration' as opposed to 'speed amp' changes the contxt of a feat to the point of invalidation

I feel like you'd need to fully disregard science for this to alter the outcome of a debate.

I don’t care.
Making a thread like this because you got stuck on an argument someone made is petty and childish.
This thread should be locked if that’s your only reason for approaching this topic. You did this because you encountered an argument you didn’t like, not because you found a flaw in the wording.
That’s not cool Weekly.

Accelerating and amping speed are literally the same thing, weekly.

That scan also says "fundamental forces" which is fairly broad.

It is a loose statement, yeah, but that isn't the argument. Accelerating and amping one's speed are quite literally the same thing, if you amp your speed your accelerating, if you accelerate you amp your speed.
I feel dumb now cause I now realize this had no reason to happen.

Man, imagine trying to remove a nonexistent power from a profile that has no reason to have it being handwaved as 'childish'
- 8,161

Your ignorance in speed amps and acceleration being the exact same thing is not my problem. And you know very well you are being childish in making this thread. You have a habit of doing this when you encounter arguments you don’t like. I’ve seen you debate for over 2 years now, your style is very distinctive and easy to see through.
Trying to plead victim is the lowest of the low.

Not sure what you mean but okay, kinda harsh getting insulting over a thread literally changing the wording of a power to make it more accurate but hey, you do you my guy
azontr
He/Him- 40,579
- 50,192
But speed amps and accelerating are the same thing, the accuracy wouldn't change whatsoever because it'd be the same.

I’m calling things how I see them.
Either way, this thread is done. Some Mod should close it.

If you’ve taken a physics class you’d know they are very connected. Acceleration alters velocity by its very nature. Altering one’s velocity to be faster or slower is what acceleration does.

It appears that the majority of people here have agreed against the proposed changes, so I am closing this.

Weekly seems to have a few more things to say here, so...
Have at it.

So are we in agreement to change the wording on the page from gradual acceleration to instant speed amp?
