Question about calc stacks.

[SlendVeny]

If X dodges Y at a speed that, through calculation, would need to be 4x the speed of Y's attack, and this isn't contradicted over the course of the series, could we scale X to a value of 4x Y in terms of overall speed?

I understand that this would lead to a flood in the CRT section, and be a nightmare to edit in, but are there other issues?

I think that would be calc stacking, yes. At least, if the speed of Y you're talking about here is something that's been calculated, then yes using the result of a calc (that isn't something like the size of an object) to then do another calc is stacking.

No, the calc isn't being used to do another calc. It's a separate calc to determine how much faster than Y X is.

I think it depends if charecter Y has a stated speed or not. if charecter x dodges charecter y's stated speed than its fine

Stryker basically said what I mean. If Y has a stated speed (or you pick a speed based on reasonable assumptions) it's fine. If you use the result of an existing calc to then determine how much faster X is, then no that isn't allowed.

No, I mean a calc devoid of actual values, like "X has to move at 3x Y's speed" which could apply at literally any speed Y has.

I think that's allowed? The closest thing I can think of that you could use for a precedent is Sonic's Spindash Amp Calc which pretty much just measures the distance characters moved on screen in a given timeframe, and then divided them to get a multiplier.

umm its fine to calc as like a general thing if x moved 4x faster than y but if you are trying to get something accepted it has to have like a final value/speed i think.

Funilly enough 2 days ago i did a calc finding minatoes speed for flicking a kunai to ay. lmk if you wanne see it
