One Piece: Sanji's Enhanced Speed

Luffy calling a laser slow and precogging it with obs haki from a far away distance isn’t exactly the same as fighting someone in close quarters. Not that I disagree with the calc, I just disagree with that moron.

Let's not derail with bringing up Sabaody Luffy's feat.

It ain't derailing. Its to prove Queen has LS reactions. Also didn't Ray state that good kenbu users can react to light?

Its been accepted before. But the validity isn't that important, it does make for good supporting evidence imo.

And it does seem extremely weird for an FTL+ Sanji (who you'd expect would have reactions that fast too, right?) to be hit by a lightspeed attack that he can plainly see coming at him. Sanji can move over twelve times faster than Queen, but couldn't move a couple meters out of the way while Queen's head was travelling 6+ meters towards him?

Because he’s stuck in the air… he moves slower in the air (that is even shown with Sanji and niji) Sanji can’t fly

I will say since I'm the one who started all of this, I figured the reason why the calc might not be useable was because we try to be strict about giving out stuff like lightspeed reactions to help keep speed from getting out of control. So we normally only award them when statements are given, and having lightspeed attack isn't enough to then assume a character has lightspeed reactions in regards to calcing. If I'm wrong on that front, apologies for starting all of this, I just thought the standards were different.

So this may be a case similar to calc-stacking then?

Would it really be Calc stacking though if the whole light speed stuff is accepted here? At least that's what I'm getting from this conversation, that the light speed Henry Blazer stuff or whatever was accepted.
 
Generally using superhuman reactions for calcs this way is a pretty shakey territory IMO. But on the other hand it does make sense on a logical level. I don't really know how I'd handle this, sorry.
 
I think the same as Duedate8898, if we were to assume that every character faster than Luffy has enough evidence to get SoL reactions, things will spiral out of control real quick.

Queen by himself doesn't have the statements needed for this assumptions either.
 
IMO since Queen lacks actual statements of being able to react to light (the argument is that he can react to his own lightspeed attack), I think it’s a bit shaky to assume LS reactions to upgrade Sanji in this instance

Not only can I not find any evidence Henry Queen is that fast on his page (or even a mention of that technique, but it might be written as Henry Blazer) but this is Hiding Calculations

To quote for full transparency:
Hiding calculations is the practice of trying to avoid calculating a feat in order to be able to use the result in another calculation. In other words it is the practice of trying to fool people into not noticing that calc stacking is being used.

This usually occurs if a feat is quantified per a rule of thumb instead of precisely calculated. A typical example would be a character dodging a bullet from a short distance being ranked as "Supersonic" and then using that ranking to calculate the speed of another character, whose speed one can compare to the former in some feat.

It wasn't Ray, this actually comes from vivre card databook iirc. But as far as I know this mention refers to advanced users of Kenbun and Queen and Sanji do not fit on it.
 
What are the staff conclusions here so far?
 
Can somebody please explain what they agree or disagree about and their reasons for it? Thank you.
 
Even with the (not very compelling, mind you) evidence of lightspeed reactions being used that were posted after my initial thoughts it's still hiding calculations
 
Okay. Our calc group members likely know that area better than most other of our staff members, yes.
 
That's a really strange thing to say when I can look at the calc and clearly see that Queen's reactions are scaled to one of his attacks that (supposedly) goes at lightspeed, which does indeed align with the definition of hiding calculations and bloats the calc significantly past what it should be.

That's to be saved for a CRT. It has no bearing on the math.
Regardless we see No-Super Speed Sanji react to Henry Queen, and then Queen tags him less than 5 pages later.

 
I'm going to outline this very clearly one more time, from the Calc Stacking page
Hiding calculations is the practice of trying to avoid calculating a feat in order to be able to use the result in another calculation. In other words it is the practice of trying to fool people into not noticing that calc stacking is being used.

This usually occurs if a feat is quantified per a rule of thumb instead of precisely calculated. A typical example would be a character dodging a bullet from a short distance being ranked as "Supersonic" and then using that ranking to calculate the speed of another character, whose speed one can compare to the former in some feat.

While it is acceptable to rank a character by such a self-evident feat without a calculation, one should keep in mind that the unwritten calculation is only skipped due to being trivial, but is still the justification for the ranking. Hence calc stacking will still be an issue for such feats.

As you just confirmed, this is a feat where you are scaling Queen's reactions off a rule of thumb feat, which is not allowed. If you still can't understand that, it's not my problem.
 
Not really the only evidence.
Observation users are explicitly able to react to light speed.
This sort of thing has been accepted before(i.e Fairy Tail Selene Blitz calc though I am not very familiar with that situation)
 
It prolly shouldn’t be lol, I tried that method with Bleach and that’s when it got nuked by DT

That which exists without my knowledge, exists without my consent

(Granted I might have evaluated years ago way before I considered this stuff with proper scrutiny but gimme a bit)
