I think you would. Because that would mean that the person who could react to attacks moving at the speed of light was too slow to be able to react to you.

Can you provide more context for the feat? Depending on the distance, it can be higher.ProfessorKukui4Life said:

No it can't be higher, since that would be calc stacking.
The character would have to have exactly lightspeed reactions but if so, yeah.

If that's te case, then we have a potential FTL feat for legendaries now that Solar Beam's been secured as SoL.
Alain's Mega Charizard X was able to dodge Primal Groudon's Solar Beam at point blank range, and it was able to be blitzed by Mega Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent.

Calc that "point blank" feat first. Like I said, what I said only matters if the value is exactly lightspeed.

What about the reaction? As Emperor said, that wouldnt mean the reaction speed would be below light speed and if one can blitz someone who can react to light speed attacks, your moving faster than what they can react to.Saikou The Lewd King said:

...The very dodge would in itself qualify as reaction speed. Reaction is just a movement under a short timeframe. It's basically the exact same thing as combat speed, with the only difference being that the latter is multiple movements under a short timeframe.
If the feat came out to be, say, 75% the speed of light to dodge the Solar Beam, then Mega Charizard's reactions are 75% speed of light, and blitzing him would require unquantifiably >75% lightspeed combat/movement speed.

If Charizard's feat ends up being Relat+, then we can't give out such a jump like that and we can't calc it, as it is calc stacking. If the feat ends up being FTL then people blitzing Charizard would just be FTL too.
- 16,940
- 4,844
Fair enough. I dont care if it wouldnt result in FTL, was just asking out of curiousity since I saw it as potentially notable.
Unless does someone want to calc it and see where it goes?

Here's a clip of it I made for you . If you want to calc it, you can use this.
- 15,407
- 5,718
Yeah that's uh not dodging. Charizard only dodges Groudon's mouth movements, not the light in the beam.
- 16,940
- 4,844
Again, I dont mind the feat not checking out, but what do you mean by "mouth movements"?Saikou The Lewd King said:
- 15,407
- 5,718
Charizard doesn't dodge the beam. He only dodges where Groudon decides to aim the beam. If I used a laser pointer at you and you tried to get away from the pointer, you wouldn't be FTL.
- 16,940
- 4,844
Hmm I guess so. Nevermind then.
I'll try and find something else if its there.

You can still compare the speed of the beam's expansion and the speed Charizard is flying at though, since Charizard can be seen flying a notable distance while the beam is still expanding.
- 16,940
- 4,844
Yeah, but its very likely gonna be just another Rel+ feat that isnt anything different, so it might not be worth calcing.
Then again, I probabaly dont know enough to say this with certainty.

The screen cuts away to the beam being immediately in water, so I'm afraid even that can't be a thing.

That moment when you realise Pokemon's Solar Beam is like KendoGarurumon's Solar Laser/Lupin Laser.

Since the topic for this thread has been resolved, can someone close it?
- 15,332

No, you can see Charizard flying alongside the beam's expansion speed at one pointSaikou The Lewd King said:
- 15,407
- 5,718
Well at the very end of the clip you do see him fly while the beam ends, so maybe that.
- 16,940
- 4,844
Im still unsure if that will result in anything different than what we already have but if you think its worth calcing Kep, I guess thats fine.

I mean, I am putting combat speed and reactions in the profiles so a good travel speed feat would be nice.

I hope y'all realize that we only really need any case of a character blitzing another via charging or moving their body in general to scale to their reactions, right.
