Nuclear Throne Verse Speed Revision

Introductio

Alright, after a very long and boring journey of asking for evaluations and doing math and pixel measurements, I can finally give the NT verse a solid speed rating. This Content Revision only applies to all playable characters in the game, not the bosses.

The Calculations
Let's start with the most basic and uncontroversial calculation:

- Movement Speed for All Playable Characters other than Plant move at 9.26 m/s (Athletic Human) even with Extra Feet's boost it still is comes out Athletic Human, while Plant moves at 10.82 m/s (Peak Human) even with Extra Feet's boost it still comes out as Peak Human.

Next are how fast the bullets of the basic weapons move

- Weapons Speed obviously varies from weapon to weapon but this should give use an idea of how fast most weapons of similar projectile types. This would scale to Attack Speed with certain weapons.

Revolver (Bullets): Moves at 37.96 m/s which is Subsonic

Shotgun (Shells): Moves at 32.67 m/s which is High-End Superhuman

Crossbow (Bolts): Moves 60.69 m/s which is Subsonic

Laser Pistol (Energy): Moves at 1559.59 m/s which is Supersonic+

And finally the last calculations that's conclusion has left me unsure on where to put it. The calculation shows how fast the characters in NT can swing the wrench and because of this I don't know if I would put this as either each character's combat speed or once again it would be attack speed.

- Wrench Swing Speed was calculated both in a low and high ball showing, the low ball put the swing at 274.59 m/s or Subsonic+ while the high ball was at 608.54 m/s or Supersonic. Now what I care about is if this is Combat or Attack speed.

In Summary
All other characters other than Plant have Athletic Human Travel Speed

Plant has Peak Human Travel Speed

All Characters have Subsonic+ to Supersonic Combat/Attack Speed with the Wrench

All Characters have Superhuman to Supersonic+ Attack Speed based on which gun(s) are used.

And so that is what I believe needs to be changed/added to the NT characters' profiles.

What are everyone's thoughts?
 
I don't see any problem with this.

Using the higher-end (Supersonic) for combat speed should be fine, in my opinion.
 
So, should I start making the changes or should I ask a few more staff members for their thoughts?
