Technically speed doesn’t matter because it usually gets equalized

Yep rarely have I ever seen a non equal speed matchup

I've seen Speed Equalized matchups with both characters being Sub-Relativistic+

What next, speed equalized SOL Characters? Speed Equalized Immobile Characters!?

Lowkey I was about to make a vs match and I almost instinctively speed equalized despite one character being 4.2% light speed and the other being 5% light speed
But I realized that’s hella dumb

That's sadly true.
While usually equalizing speed makes a match fair or possible, it gets to ludicrous degrees. I wish there was some way to keep a certain speed advantage, or at least consider the character's mindset or to give more consideration than just "BLITZ".
Not a thing in VSBW, but I've seen plenty of debates that even against impossible speed advantages, people could still argue interesting matches.

I've done a crap ton of matches with characters with really low speed and some with really high speed

Sure is rare for me to see such matches.

not really, some characthers with same speed tier can blitz each others

Unless it's MFTL+, I don't think so. Or unless the character has baseline reactions

Like, Dragon Ball MFTL characthers could easily blitz other MFTL characthers

That's because they are unquantifiable above each other because "teleports behind you" spam, but that's a thing in all of fiction.

Tbh speaking of speed equalization it’s kinda weird having speed non equalized matches between say
One character with Mach 900 Overall speed vs someone with Mach 780 Movement and travel speed but Mach 43000 combat speed
One character with Mach 900 Overall speed vs someone with Mach 780 Movement and travel speed but Mach 43000 combat speed
- 4,466
- 378
they are massively above 596.4c, meaning they blitz everyone on MFTL list
- 1,022
- 344
he means when they have similar speeds there is no point
- 4,466
- 378
"Similiar Speed", that's vague, some specification?
- 1,022
- 344
It's more of an example by this I mean if one guy is mach 67.9 and another character is mach 67.3232
- 4,466
- 378
I mean, that's not similiar, that's more like identic speed
pretty sure you need be like 3x faster in order to blitz
so a example is 7m/s and 9m/s of similiar speed
- 3,809
- 1,197
By similar speed he probably means less than a 3x gap in their speeds
Mach 700 can still fight Mach 2100 with a lot of effort
Mach 700 vs Mach 89000 is an absolute blitz stomp meanwhile

I think people just have to have characters who have a huge advantage in speed, but a fairly big disadvantage in AP and Durability

I just don’t like when some character gets speedblitz because of speed equalization
- 5,230

You can speed blitz others in a speed equal match, even speed boosts can only give a edge, not a blitz

No if someone has a quicker way of attacking like snapping fingers to use a hax and only wins because of speed equalization
- 16,215

Tier 2 be like (except 2-B, 2-B is the house of passives)
- 5,230

That's not a speedbliz, that's better hax, but i see your point

My question is, why is speed the only stat allowed to be equalized? Why can't durability or something be equalized? And by that, I mean you can only pick one stat to equalize. Equalizing multiple stats for one fight would obviously be ridiculous.
The logic to allow speed equalization seems to be that any massive speed gap would make the fight completely one-sided. But isn't that true for any stat? If there's a massive durability gap or massive AP gap, then doesn't that make it one sided?

Via most hax, not necessarily. The hax required to kill/incapacitate someone who is way, way faster than you, such as passives are far more rare than conventional hax like Existence Erasure or BFR.

I just think it's counter-productive to the underlying question of these sites.
"Who would win in a fight?"
By equalizing speed, you're no longer just asking this question.

I mean there are theoretically matches where you don't have to equalize speed, like matches where opponent A has an adequate speed advantage & opponent B has an adequate AP advantage. The only match I could think of where this would happen & still be fair would be the Grizzly Bear vs Hippo fight. Judging by my current knowledge & experience, matches like these aren't easily noticed by me. Though I would like to see a speed unequal match where there's still a good debate.
