Street Fighter Running Speed

[SamanPatou]

Very quick, currently the Street Fighter characters' speed is rated only through their reaction speed.

Luckily, we have an already accepted calc, which is Dan running faster than a wall of flames. (Subsonic)

Since Dan is the worst character in the series, I'd say it's safe to say that everyone can run faster than, or be at very least comparable to him.

 

[Armorchompy]

seems good

 

[ZoroNotZolo]

I agree.

 

[Dalesean027]

Yeah same I agree

 

[DivineAura44]

Some big bulky characters might not be able to scale if they aren't very fast or agile (Zangief is actually pretty fast so not him) but other than that I agree.

 

[SamanPatou]

Being bulky doesn't necessarily make you slow, tho, I can think of moves and instances where the likes of Hugo, Birdie and Honda run in a decent way.

Rufus is very agile despite his size, and I believe I can find something for Abigail, unless we want to compare him to Hugo.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Looks good

 

[LordGriffin1000]

If Dan is treated as the slowest/weakest guy on the roster, I'm fine with the scaling.

 

[SamanPatou]

Yes, Dan is meant to be a joke character and is always portrayed as the most underperforming fighter of all, I can provide several examples if necessary.

If you're using the speed of the flames as being 100mps, you should probably calc Sakura's attack speed, wouldn't be surprised if it hit Supersonic+ or Hypersonic, which is better than what she has right now.

 

[SamanPatou]

Interesting, I didn't know it could be done.
I'll try to calc it by myself.

 

[SamanPatou]

Anyway, that would be handled in another thread.

For now, let's just focus on running speed.

It's feasible, probably gonna require some angsizing though, but that over the shoulder view demonstrates that pretty clearly the attack's are way faster than the incoming fire. The only issue is figuring out how much the fire moves, given the depth of the shot, but it's likely doable, at the very least it's possible to low end it.

Also I'd recommend putting "At least" for anyone worth a damn, Dan is absolute ******* shit, ******* like Akuma absolutely would pale his ass in a foot race. Especially as the 100mps Dan speed is a low end, he's outpacing it, aka, he's faster, he managed to actually put a decent amount of distance between him and the blast, he's not a **** ton faster, but the fact remains. So yeah, any mid tier or above I'd say "At least" should be fair all things considered.

Bump, this doesn't seem a controversial upgrade and I don't think many more approvals are needed to make the changes.

 

[SamanPatou]

Bump

Yeah you got a bunch of staff approval, this should be good to add.
