Not to derail this thread but Ash-Greninja should blatantly scale to legendaries so I'm not sure how useful that is.I got Ash-Greninja to FTL+. We should just wait evaluation.

If ash-greninja scales to legendaries then Pikachu would scale to legendaries then pretty much all champions end up scaling to legendaries which makes no sense and thus an outlier.Not to derail this thread but Ash-Greninja should blatantly scale to legendaries so I'm not sure how useful that is.
...what. Legendaries which are fodder to Deoxys are just upscaling from non legendaries. Ash-Greninja is only for Megas/Gigantamax regardless, it's just to make the FTL ratings for base Stage 2 even more solid.Not to derail this thread but Ash-Greninja should blatantly scale to legendaries so I'm not sure how useful that is.
I mean maybe FTL final evos and FTL+ Megas, Gigantamaxes, Ash-Greninja, and stuff like that? That's just a hypothetical though, and right now I'll go ahead and update the OPI got Ash-Greninja to FTL+. We should just wait evaluation.
FTL Final evos and FTL+ Megas/Gigantamax makes sense lore wise as well.I mean maybe FTL final evos and FTL+ Megas, Gigantamaxes, Ash-Greninja, and stuff like that? That's just a hypothetical though, and right now I'll go ahead and update the OP
Seismic Toss is Sub-Rel if I remember correctly.Speaking of speed. Why are Stage 1 mons Sub-Rel? They don't have any feat on that caliber.
Is there a calc for it? Because I have a feeling about it being based on Gen 6 game animation which would also assume the Pokémon going literally on space and getting literally flattered and instantly recovering after, which it's obviously just a visual effects. Imo they just should upscale from MHS+ of Base mons (coz Thunderbolt).Seismic Toss is Sub-Rel if I remember correctly.
I think a safe assumption would be to assume that Staraptor flew the distance between it and the top of the screen before the Solar Beam hit.Anyway, I found this blatant FTL feat from Solar Beam.
Is incalculable? Yes, but it's obvious that Staraptor was able to not only dodge the Solar Beam, but also crossing a greater distance than it, only that is unknown (and using the fullest height in that timeframe would give MFTL+ which would outlier regardless, but Staraptor obviously didn't).
Edit: We should look for Signal Beam too as it's stated to be SoL as well.
This one, I believe. Funnily enough, not every second stage Pokemon ends up using this calc, some just upscale from MHS+ like you're suggesting. Pokemon profiles are whack.Is there a calc for it?

Is that even enough?Both are made of light, both travel in lines, both are called beams of light (hell, Solar Beam literally draws on the sun), etc.
This is what they both areHere is the damn question.
What is the general proof that Solar beam and Signal beam actually fit the criteria for SoL?
-beam is made of light
-beam travels in a straight line
-beam reflects from shiny surfaces.
-beam is called lightspeed by reliable source
-comes from a realistic source of light
Plus they don't have contradictions anyway.-beam is made of light
-beam travels in a straight line
-beam is called lightspeed by reliable source
Well it didn't end up being blatantly FTLAnyway, I found this blatant FTL feat from Solar Beam.

Why are you assuming it flew up that little when you have no evidence? I mean, few seconds after it reached the terrain we see staraptor over the arena, that implies being FTL due of it crossing an higher distance than Solar Beam. Also lmao at using that for the distance between Solar Beam and Staraptor when it was still there and only moves some time later. Really, this calc lowballs for literally no reason.
I'm just using what we do know. I'm assuming it flew "so little" for the same reason you want to assume it flew "so high." We don't know. Same goes for the distance. This is the closest we see the Solar Beam get. The only other thing I can think of is the idea that the zooming in on Staraptor is indicative of how close the Solar Beam is getting. The distance Staraptor flew in that moment isn't changing though, it's the best we can get.Why are you assuming it flew up that little when you have no evidence?

...I don't have a counter against it so I'll concede on such.I'm just using what we do know. I'm assuming it flew "so little" for the same reason you want to assume it flew "so high." We don't know. Same goes for the distance. This is the closest we see the Solar Beam get.
I added something to that reply, I wanna see what you think of it....I don't have a counter against it so I'll concede on such.
To answer this, Solar Beam also has the feat of literally powering solar panels in one of the mangas, which is a blatant evidence of being real light as well.Here is the damn question.

Yes, around two years ago, those standards were changed.Also, correct me if im wrong but weren't the light beam standards recently changed to allow "rays of light" claims or something similar to be used as evidence for light speed? Thus making things even easier for things like solar beam and signal beam to qualify?
