You are arguing semantics to an obscene extent here. Between them doesn't automatically mean it stops directly at the false moon.The text says: "This place is between the false moon and earth. That endless corridor just now was a false passage that connects the two"
Considering how the arguments against both infinite speed feats have devolved into misrepresenting the context and actual events that transpired, while also ignoring our debunks while not providing scans or evidence for their downgrade, can this necro'd thread please get closed?? Or at the very least, can people wait until a proper summary is made?
Threads don't get closed just because you want them to be, or because you deem the arguments involved "dishonest".Agreed.
No scans from the opposition, just headcanons and misreadings of the text. Given how there are literally discussion rules about how CRTs need evidence, and the opposition has not provided any, this can probably just be closed outright.
Maybe so, but it does mean that the "relevant" distance they actually crossed is finite, if we're assuming the corridor takes a path "through" the Earth and the false moon.You are arguing semantics to an obscene extent here. Between them doesn't automatically mean it stops directly at the false moon.
What's actually irrelevant is the notion that the corridor is "infinite", if we're assuming it goes "through" the earth and false moon. Because then, there's no reason in particular to assume there's actually an infinite space "scrunched up" inside the Eientei estate regardless.And even then it doesn't matter!
Her powers are what link space-time together into creating an infinite corridor. The distance between both locations is irrelevant when her powers are creating a corridor within that distance that they must pass through. And guess what? Said corridor is consistently described as infinite in more than one entry in the series.
We don't rate Satoru Gojo as particularly "infinite" in any stat-based way, though.So what i understand that she creates a kinda of pocket dimension of infinte size half way trough the earth and moon... if i am correct why did it take so much time to understand damn we even have a character who whole gimick is practically that
Well, yes. And it's simply not "infinite".When you break through all the semantics and headcanons it becomes pretty clear just how simple this feat is.
So you're saying that they're both based on space manipulation, particularly in the context of creating a "molded/warped space" within the wider space of the universe..They work in a similar way tho "A creates a space who contains space toomfolery" like a blackhole in a weird way
Funny how not one, not two, but THREE god damn official sources disagree with you on that. Like, c'mon man.Well, yes. And it's simply not "infinite".
If the space is infinite, then crossing it through speed requires infinite speed. Pretty sure this is literally explained on the speed page.So you're saying that they're both based on space manipulation, particularly in the context of creating a "molded/warped space" within the wider space of the universe..
Which means that bypassing them doesn't necessarily require literally infinite speeds in either case.
Doesn't Marisa have gravity manipulation - which is basically just a more limited form of spacetime manipulation anyway - and Sanae have "miracle"/probability manipulation as well? They could have used those to "help" themselves along the way.
As for "nothing in the game signifies" stuff, it's frankly little more that pedantry. We know that they have these abilities, we know that they use these abilties, so why wouldn't they exploit them to make their trip go by just a bit faster?
The "location" isn't "infinite", as they traveled there with clearly finite speed. It's like claiming a character has "infinite" speed because he got to the "edge" of an "infinite" realm, even though he's shown walking there on foot.
How many times do I have to tell you this?
As for the bolded, it's little more than an attempt at technicality. If Sakuya was legitimately capable of moving at infinite speed, the text would have just said so.
That "speed of light" stuff isn't derailing, because the speed of light stuff represents a hard cap against "infinite speed" Touhou.
Or it could just be some weird spacetime gobbledygook and the space is constantly "stretching". Breaking out of the "infinite corridor", if anything, amounts to little more than space(time) manipulation resistance.
Why are you being this weirdly pedantic about word choices? The corridor is said to be a "false passage" connecting the "two", meaning the Earth and the "false moon". There's no reason why some random location out in space would be part of the "two". They're not physically present on the "false moon". Therefore, they're not at the end of the corridor. Simple.
And, being frank, if the corridor ends at some random spot in outer space, or even at some "false moon" (which, if it's anything like the "real" moon, should be around 384,400 km away from the Earth), then that's, again, proof positive that the corridor isn't actually "infinite". If they were really wanting to push this "infinite" spacetime gobbledygook, they would have just had the corridor be entirely contained within the house (TARDIS-style "bigger on the inside"/"dimension in my closet" trickery, etc.), with no "outs" or "exits" at all.
I'm talking about the supposedly "infinite" speed needed to cross the corridor here. The size of the corridor itself is, at this juncture, irrelevant.Funny how not one, not two, but THREE god damn official sources disagree with you on that. Like, c'mon man.
But they didn't even cross the full "infinite" corridor to begin with, so either way, the feat isn't "infinite".If the space is infinite, then crossing it through speed requires infinite speed. Pretty sure this is literally explained on the speed page.
I'm not making these arguments to convince "the other side" here. They'd believe whatever they want to regardless. I'm making these arguments mainly for third parties, which in this context mostly just includes staff.If a character traveled a infinite distance by walking on foot then...? Is that not infinite speed? Walking speed is a thing. I'm pretty sure fictional characters can reach ridiculous speed by simply walking. Outside of that, how does this correlate? The characters are moving at high speeds. Is there even a mention of the ship or characters slowing down? Like, in-universe I mean. Cause I don't think you brought a solid ground besides the one thing people aren't taking seriously. And while you can do whatever you want, that's not really enough to make a side agree or concede. It's not a good debunk, and I'm not sure why you keep using it despite the lack of effect.
It's not the fact that the relevant scan describes Sakuya as being able to reach lightspeed that's in itself a point of contention. It's the fact that it portrays Sakuya's "lightspeed-ness"/"FTL-ness" as something relatively unique to her, suggesting that even FTL stuff is rather rare in 2hu as a whole.It wouldn't? Touhou isn't exactly on the nose with what the characters can do. In fact, I can't recall many series that state "Can move at infinite speeds" in contrast to "Faster than Light". The text alone, didn't say anything besides the fact she can reach light speed. A thing that's not really impressive within Touhou giving the characters or attacks they can dish out.
And the "speed of light" stuff is brought up in the context of whether the "infinite" speed feats are valid. Therefore, they're not "derailing".It is. This current thread is discussing whether or not the infinite feats are valid. And that has been the discussion prior to the death/revival of this thread. In fact, that's been practically the entire argument between both sides. With one actively defending that, yes. They are valid. Currently the FTL stuff doesn't disprove or approve of the infinity stuff. Because we are discussing the validity of the infinite examples.
I didn't say that the "stretching corridor" bit was the more likely case. My main argument right now is that the characters involved never actually traveled an infinite distance, infinite corridor or no.Once again, nothing to suggest that. You're throwing in your interpretation and later on trying to deem yourself as the more likely case. But there's nothing within the entirety of the canon to suggest what you're saying. This is something I've noticed you do like...three times. Two in this post and one in another outside this thread. This isn't a valid argument. Unless there's solid backing to your thesis, you can't really use it to debunk.
The context, from what I've seen so far, suggests that the "two" things being "connected" by the corridor where the Earth and the "false moon".Because the context doesn't suggest that. Eirin wanted to keep the protagonists away. The characters noticed the corridor has ended (Reimu even says so). And Eirin later on talks about the corridor in the past sense and then refers to the current location as a new location. Signifying the corridor is not the same as the location they were in. In fact, Eirin repeatedly states the characters did indeed reach the end. And talked about how the corridor led them to that specific spot. Aka, not the moon itself. Simple.
If the corridor led them to some random location in outer space, then it's finite. And all the dialogue in the world means precisely nothing in relation to that.Being real, I'm not 100% sure how to reply to this. The corridor did indeed end in some random spot, that much is true. We don't even know where the characters are. They traveled the corridor, ended up in some random location where Eirin was waiting. I don't see how this somehow confirms the corridor isn't infinite when it's stated to be so countless of times and the game confirmed the characters did make it through.
...Yes they did. You literally see them reach the end in the stage itself. Eirin tells them they've reached the end. The characters themselves acknowledge they reached the end.But they didn't even cross the full "infinite" corridor to begin with, so either way, the feat isn't "infinite".
"The literal plot of the game means nothing".The context, from what I've seen so far, suggests that the "two" things being "connected" by the corridor where the Earth and the "false moon".
If the corridor was always just meant to lead them to a some random spot in outer space, then it's not infinite, and they don't get "infinite" speed for crossing it. Simple.

I really don't get this weird, rigid pedantry concerning the topic at hand.

Oh, pray tell, what are these important factors that we are ignoring?Yeah the infinite speed reasons are indeed bad and ignoring some important factors
It should be nuked
Not deciding things read well next timeAnd who are you to just come in here, and decide things? Read the discussion first at least, mr Pain.
Anyway I have no interest in this thread whatsoever, just here to check on what's up.
Read the thread again you may pick them upOh, pray tell, what are these important factors that we are ignoring?
Sure, buddy.Read the thread again you may pick them up
Say what the factors areNot deciding things read well next time
I said I support the speed been nuked that’s a vote
Read the thread again you may pick them up
I was writing that under the notion that we're assuming that the corridor extends past the Earth and "false moon"....Yes they did. You literally see them reach the end in the stage itself. Eirin tells them they've reached the end. The characters themselves acknowledge they reached the end.
You evidently did not read my post where I explained how and why they crossed the entire thing. They visibly start their journey on ground level; Y'know, where the corridor starts. And then they fly to the end
A detail about the corridor isn't "the literal plot of the game". The corridor being "infinite" or not isn't fundamental to the plot of the game. I don't understand this constant conflation of minor setting/background details with fundamental plot scaffolding. It's inane."The literal plot of the game means nothing".
The text says it's infinite no less than 8 goddamn times from various sources. It having an infinite extent literally could not be more explicit.
And as Angelzewolf pointed out, we have no idea where the endpoint is, so saying it's a finite distance away is stupid, because there's nothing indicating that. The only this we have to determine the distance traveled is the corridor. Which is infinite.
If you are truly, genuinely arguing that the text means nothing, we may as well delete the whole verse.
And you're quite right.But we know it isn't. Many attacks are described to move at the speed of light. And the characters can either react or dodge said speed. Maybe the basic villagers who need the help of the main cast can't travel at said speed. But there is more evidence to suggest the relevant characters can reach said speed. And according to someone, said evidence can be accessed.
Lightspeed itself might not be the limit, but the continued relevancy of lightspeed attacks in 2hu is quite the big knock against "infinite" speed, as I've said before.How? Legitimately explain how. The speed of light stuff simply suggests these characters can reach said speed. I.e their minimum. Nothing else suggests that's their limit or they're only some arbitrary number higher. This would be a valid argument if such a thing was the case, but it's not. If there was something within canon to say so. But them being FTL is a consistent thing within attacks and feats.
If the corridor led them to a specific point in time and space, then the corridor is finite, no ifs, ands, or buts. What the characters say is irrelevant, what's relevant is how the corridor actually operates. It doesn't operate the way the characters say it does, so, for whatever reason, the characters are simply wrong or speaking falsehoods here.This is another case where the logic simply confuses me. If the characters made it through the corridor...and the corridor led them specifically where they were AND that was the purpose of said corridor, then your point isn't valid. This was the case, the characters and Eirin commented on going through said corridor described to be infinite and making it out. That's...it. There's no ifs or buts when the game outright tells you what happens. Unless you're trying to suggest there are two separate corridors linked together, which obviously isn't the case. The Corridor was described to be infinite and endless. The characters made it out.
It's not just an "interpretation" when the the corridor is supposed to, very clearly, stop at a specific point in space and time.I'm...99% sure the dialogue means much more than your interpretation. You're not above said dialogue just because it contradicts your statement. Again, we do not know where they are and they are stated to have went through the corridor.
It's pretty damn straightforward and simple.
It's really just been you and me that's been consistently posting in this thread, with everyone else just jumping in for a few posts or so, so I really want to know what your criterion for "actual participation" is.It seems a bit telling that, out of everybody who's actually participated in the thread, there is near unanimous consensus that the reasoning present is extremely weak or even outright wrong at times. The only people who disagree are those who just skimmed the OP and nothing more, from what I can tell ( and Mal ofc).
It's literally not. It's supposed to be between the Earth and the "false moon". The "false moon" isn't an infinite distance away from the Earth, so why would any corridor between them be any different?Look. This is going purely in circles. I will say one more time: the 'specific point in space' you're referring to is an infinite distance away. Full stop. This is something repeatedly stated by the narrative of at least 2 separate games, yet you continue to ignore it.
The context is in the fact that the supposedly "infinite" corridor stops at some random point in spacetime between two locations of finite distance away from each other, and not, say, the "edge" of the universe or whatever.I have nothing else to say here because regardless of what I say, you'll continue to misrepresent it and ignore the full context.
The only points getting debunked have been yours, throughout this entire thread even.If anybody lurking in this thread is unsure about what position to take, or is just generally confused, I'd still be more than happy to give an explanation.Or, y'know, you could just read my earlier recap.However, if Mal is the only person interested in defending points that have been repeatedly debunked, then it's best to just let this thread die.
We don't know how far away the false moon/sealed chamber is, is the thing. There's nothing indicating how far away it is from the earth; it may as well exist in a vacuum.It's literally not. It's supposed to be between the Earth and the "false moon". The "false moon" isn't an infinite distance away from the Earth, so why would any corridor between them be any different?
Why does it need to be the edge of the universe specifically? And again, you've still yet to prove that the distance actually is finite. You just. Keep saying that with 0 evidence.The context is in the fact that the supposedly "infinite" corridor stops at some random point in spacetime between two locations of finite distance away from each other, and not, say, the "edge" of the universe or whatever.
Honestly, I fully agree with this. If the OP is unwilling to support his own points then why are we even here? Not like he's banned or anything; he could come back at anytime and is choosing not to.Get staff to close this thread until the OP comes back.
It's ridiculous that this has been open for 2 whole pages and the OP was here for like 1/5th, 1/6th of the actual thread? And the majority seems to disagree with the OP, and the OP isn't even here to say or do anything. This thread isn't going to get concluded anytime soon so I see no reason why this is still open.
Then someone @ him and get a response. If he makes it clear he doesn't care, then ask the mods to close the thread, because its going no where. Neither side will budge on anything.Saikou has been active on discord all these days ever since he posted the OP, so yeah, he more than likely doesn't care about the thread at all.
"Last seen: Jan 14, 2022"Then someone @ him and get a response. If he makes it clear he doesn't care, then ask the mods to close the thread, because its going no where. Neither side will budge on anything.
I meant on discord, not on here."Last seen: Jan 14, 2022"
Not gonna stop you from contacting him, but if he ain't even on the wiki then I really don't see how @ing him will do anything.
Is it possible to throw up a screenshot of that, just so folks can't say you're not telling the truth?That'd probably work then.
IIRC somebody I know who knows Saikou over Discord said he didn't interact with the thread because he "didn't feel the need to respond to threadbanned users".
...But there were also plenty of debunks from non-banned members, so who the **** knows what his actual reasoning is.
I meant Saikou's response, if you could. I understand if you can't, but having the man's comment itself up there as confirmation would dispel any doubts.Sure. Keeping the name and pfp blacked out since idk if the person in question wants to be known.
