Possible speed upgrade for Child Link

[SSJRyu1]

So I know that in OOT when fighting Barinade it shoots electrical discharges at you, and you can react to and dodge it even.

So unless I'm missing something an electrical discharge, for example lightning, would move at massively hypersonic+ speed in atmosphere normally, so I think since even Kid Link before becoming an adult can dodge electrical discharges perhaps we can upgrade anybody his tier or up to that speed.

It would also add to them having massively hypersonic+ speed later on to if they had it even back then.

Thoughts?

Any thoughts on this?

I find it okay, but it depends on if everyone finds it to be MHS+ lightning.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, it depends on the distance from the lightning, but ThePerpetual would probably be interested in calculating this.

 

[Kevyn_S._de_Andrade]

It depends on how fast the lightning moves

You can inform ThePerpetual about this thread. He likes TLOZ.

OK sounds good.

Possibly? Two main concerns that should be addressed:

One, I'm not entirely certain on the mechanics of bioelectricity (in particular, at what speed it travels, if it's any different from normal electricity at all, etc.), and research is turning up absolutely nothing on the subject. I can't guarantee it's the same speed as standard electricity as we usually think of it.

Two, assuming it is, there's another thing that might impede it's use as a feat: the fact that each blast is choreographed with a bright, camera-like flash, and that the Barinade's tentacles don't move after that. It could fairly easily be argued that this could simply be a case of aim-dodging.

I'll not rule the possibility out, though.

I did look up bioelectricity. It is basically just an animal producing electricity through use of sodium and potassium ions in the cells producing electrical currents. So the electricity discharged would function the same way as any other output, and is used for things from self defence to sending electrical signals.

As for the second one though I agree aim dodging is a possibility, but you can still dodge it after it has fired, and we know even Onox was already faster than lightning, so could still be good imo. But i'll leave it up to you if you wanna use it or not.

'Kay. I'll look into it in a bit.
