Undertale MHS Downgrade

[Armorchompy]

Point got a bit muddled and dragged out, but it was just "it moves and was created in unrealistic ways, so we shouldn't assume realistic speeds". I was actually tryna say that the idea that Vulkin made it slower was wrong :v (as those who disagreed with me were arguing "okay monsters can manipulate attacks, why would they do that to make them slower?")

Alright fair enough. I guess you could say it's sort of like a light/electricity construct not moving at any particular speeds, but given it still basically shoots like a projectile I dunno if that should be the default assumption, I'd consider it acceptable if slightly questionable to say it's moving like ""normal"" electricity. The kind of thing that would be fine on its own but probably better to ignore if it clashes with verse portrayal or whatever (which I don't think is the case here, provided you don't use MHS+)

Huh, I thought I made a thread about this but apparently I haven't.

I also just disagree with there being an electricity speed rating in general. We put it around Mach 1 based on pixel-scaling of a video of someone testing an IRL electricity gun, but that evidences that electricity's speed can vary between Mach 1 and Mach 1300, but critically, it doesn't put an actual lower bound on the speed. If it can get over 1000x slower based on a variety of complicated factors, why say it couldn't get another ~100 times slower, putting it in ordinary human range?

But hey, all-in-all, if you think that reasoning sucks, or you'd want a different thread for that, I think your overall view is fair enough.

I dunno, I guess there's an argument there but I think I'd prefer there being some general, safe-ish value for "assumed electric attack speed", to my understanding it's at least partially related to the amount of energy that goes into the electricity so I think the Mach 1.6 one is basically a lowball in most cases.
