If it is not mentioned in the OP, we assume it's unequalized by default until it is stated by the creator of the match.

To the slowest character iirc

I'm not 100% sure but I believe it will be equalized to whoever is the fastest.

I love how you two just gave opposite answers LOL

Do characters know that the speed is equal in a match off the bat?
- 15,920

Logically, no. But it's not like characters automatically know the speed of their opponent's in-verse, so.

Yeah but they can know the power. If a character has a higher AP in a battle they would also assume they would have a higher speed.This info would change how the character would fight

How can they know?Darkfire890 said:

Some characters can sense difference in power levels.

Ah, Information Analysis. But then again, characters won't know their AP difference by default.

Fair point also I thought sensing differences in power levels falls under Extrasensory Perception

I guess it matters how detail it is?

Actually, that's a good point. Would Kirito see a different speed stat when he opens the menu?

I've been thinking about this and maybe we should treat is as a time-slow for the fastest character. This would mean that Kirito sees a speed stat way higher than his if he goes against a faster opponent yet he won't get blitzed so it's best to inform both characters beforehand that they have equal speed.

I was talking about his own stats. In my opinion, we should just remove something this problematic.
- 10,398

And remove all those vs opportunities? People will still use speed equal but in Fun and Games instead, clarifying and setting up the rules seems to be best course of action and people generally have a feeling how speed equal works and not a lot of debates are hindered by how it works so it should be fine regardless.

But potential issues come up every other week. Another one, what if a character is weirded out by the grass not seeming still to them?
- 10,398

Most of these issues can just be prevented by telling the character they are speed equalized tho...

It would still be disorienting (and probably disheartening in a few cases). There are also people who only have experience dealing with people who are slower than them.

Well it's still better to tell those people beforehand than to let them figure it out themselves. Also if we go with the time slow thingy then people who can leap to other buildings can still do so while people who can't do so still can't do so since the kinetic energy the people in the time slow have would be equal as if there was no time slow, so that way people don't have to change their tactics and if they are told beforehand will also understand why their opponent is not able to follow them if they leap from building to building via their speed.
I would also recommend not saying which ones of the 2 used to be fastest one since some people might pull a power level out of that and thus change their tactics based on that. Or we can forcibly say they are not allowed to change their tactics based on this information but that may be a bit too restricting and hindering the normal thought process of some people.
