Speed Equalizes to...

[The_Impress]

This is abit of a weird question which I don't think will become relevant often but still, would be good to know.

When we equalize speed, do we lower the faster character's speed to match the slower character? Or do we increase the slower character's speed to match the faster character?

 

[Antoniofer]

The faster characters is slowed down.

 

[The_Impress]

Follow-up question too, btw,

When we're talking about fast attacks retaining their speed, are we talking proportionally or are they just the initial-pre-equalization speed

 

[Antoniofer]

They retain the same speed proportion. I suggested to keep their original speed when the attack's speed its independently of the character's, but it was ultimately rejected.

 

[The_Impress]

Can you link the thread for that, actually?

 

[Antoniofer]

I think is this.

 

[The_Impress]

Thanks!

To continue this, when we equalize stats, do we equalize stats to the stronger character or weaker character?

 

[Antoniofer]

We don't equalize stats that aren't speed.

Sorry to jump in, but I have a question that has always bugged me, and nobody ever gave me a straight answer.
How are speed amps officially treated in speed equalized matches? Do they even count? And if so, how are they applied?

 

[Antoniofer]

Yes, they count, and they improve the speed with the same multiplier.

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

I see. Thanks!

I know, but equal stats is still a thing so...?

 

[Antoniofer]

It is? Like, it is written as an official rule?

I don't know, but it exists like in fun and games there are matches with equal stats so I want to know whether the stats are buffed for the weaker or nerfed for the stronger.

 

[Antoniofer]

If there's there's no official rule then there's nothing I can say about it, I believe OP makes the rules (but I think they may work similar to speed equal, so stats lowered).

Equal stat matches can't be added, that's all, but nothing prevents you from making an equal stat match for fun.

Ok are stats equalized to the weaker or stronger character?

Can go both ways since all-stat-equal matches are generally reserved for the Fun and Games thread.

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

Sorry, but I've got another one. Would the speed amp still be allowed if it results in a speed blitz?

Huh, so senario, a planet level dude fights wall level dude, if equal stats for the stronger character then the wall dude will be able to blow up planets which is something he couldn't do and if equal stats for the weaker then the stronger guy won't be able to blow up planets anymore because he's now wall level, this is the same for speed too BTW characters cross distance faster than they should if the equal speed goes to the faster character and vice versa. What do you do then?

Well most of the times I've seen the weaker dude get bumped up to the higher tier.

Yes, but if the character who is naturally slower wins primarily through speed amps, it can’t be added.
And just generally, if a blitz results in a stomp it can’t be added.

 

[VinnyXD]

I'm gonna jump in.

Do characters know they have equal speed?
