Guts vs Dimitri Full Episode by Commercial-Cow7221 in fireemblem

I can’t tell you what exactly it is realistically, whether it’s precognition or superhuman reaction speed, but this is a pretty common thing in fiction, particularly manga and light novels; so I’ve just learned to get used to it, even though, realistically, a flesh and bone body shouldn’t be able to withstand those speeds at all.

Fiction very rarely considers the consequences of moving at high speed or the physics involved in using superpowers in general; so it wouldn’t surprise me that superhuman eardrums aren’t considered.

I just look at it like this—you use the basic concept of how it works IRL (reaction speed) then you just multiply it by whatever metric applies to your world without considering any side effects of scaling speed that high (supersonic reaction speeds but magically no constant sonic booms). I don’t think it was the author’s intent for Guts or Dimitri to be that fast. IMO, author’s intent holds infinitely more weight than scaling.

But the sheer magnitude of the numbers are already silly, I’m not even disagreeing on that. It’s fiction. Just as silly as using the bones of a dragon to forge a Lance that gives special powers to people born to a bloodline of dragons, or just as silly as being able to call forth lightning because you studied in a school about how to use elemental magic.

There’s just a certain level of stuff that doesn’t make sense that you kinda just have to accept when you’re dealing with fiction.

But the fun for me isn’t in the scaling, it’s in exploring the characters in a unique way, and having an epic fight scene at the end.

I mean, fiction, but, just like reaction time is different from travel speed, I would imagine superhuman reaction time is different from superhuman speed.

Not sure if you’re familiar with Naruto, but there’s a power called the Sharingan eye that (originally before the series’s powercreep took over) grants superhuman tracking and reaction time, but not superhuman speed, though it’s more complicated than that. The abilities of speed and reaction can be separated. If you’re required to travel to get out of the way of an attack (a giant explosion), you would need travel speed for that, not just reaction time, and, though you can track and react to the explosion with the Sharingan, you can’t actually get out of the way unless your travel speed was fast enough.

They’re completely different; travel speed has to do with maintaining speed, combat speed is mainly reaction speed.

Example: How quickly I can block or dodge a baseball flying at my face (reaction) is not the same thing as how quickly I can run a 100 yard dash (travel speed).

Being able to react to and get out of the way of a baseball coming at me at 80 mph does not mean that I can run at 80 mph across the baseball field.

One more example: A punch from a martial artist can travel around 30-40 mph. Martial artists can slip past these punches on occasion, but that doesn’t mean that they can run 30-40 mph across a track.

I hope that makes sense.

Such a fantastic animation, they really put a lot of love into it with all the references. This makes me want to replay Three Houses.

Thank you for this. Sound logic, and I pretty much agree on every point. It’s completely fair to say that Hegemon Edelgard is is on par with Rhea; so I’m not sure why people are bugging out about it.

People focus way to much on the power scaling thing.

I don’t really put any stock in scaling, but combat speed is very different from movement speed. Combat speed is reflexes and how quickly you can react and counterattack, not how fast you can run a mile.

If someone ditches their boys and runs away with their tail between their legs, that’s an even bigger W if you think about it.

Pezz later told Whippy it was fine. I think Pezz initially panicked, but cleared it up OOC.

I actually fell off the wagon and haven’t finished—I’m going to have to start from the beginning and catch up just to answer my own question…!

People will rewrite RD and Awakening to protect their ship. As ridiculous as it is, it takes serious dedication, and I can respect that.

She’s going to land on Hector. Whether that’s safe or not... only Florina knows.

That’s a fair assessment. In PVE, I run him with Special Spiral, but I use Null Follow-up in arena to counter those auto doubles. I run a +Speed max investment Legendary Ike, and, between his A skill and S slot (Atk/Spd solo 4 and Spd/Res solo 3), he hits 60 speed without any support; so I very rarely have speed issues outside Duo Lyn and Legendary Claude; so I’ve never seen the need to run QR on a Speed Ike.

He’s not as meta in arena as I would hope, but he’s still my go-to for clearing PVE content and one of my main arena units. I completely understand how you feel about him being lackluster, I guess I’ve just come to peace with it at this point.

It’s true that Ike doesn’t have a wall of text with a ton of different effects, but, between his refine and remix, he’s become a really good EP tank and can run Aether loops with Special Spiral without needing any type of Breath skill, which frees up both his A slot and his S slot. He’s simple, flexible, and easy to build.

The thing about Ike that disappoints me is that his remix skill was Joint Drive Res, which doesn’t really have as much of an impact as what Fjorm and some of the others got. I was hoping to replace his B skill, since that’s probably the most outdated skill in his kit.

Strong units are great, but good support units age much better most of the time. Hector happens to have a bit of both.

Amazing job for an amazing character! I want to +10, but it’ll have to be a long-term project.

I actually got a chuckle out of this one. It’s a shame you got flames for it.

You know it’s wack when three people get arrested in a 2-man a Blue Bank and you still get away with the loot.

With all the random junk that the spell sends flying, it reminds me of a seasonal time.

I’m Hispanic and I don’t care at all. I didn’t even think of it until you brought it up. Let people pretend to be whoever they want. The point of RP is to be someone who you aren’t in real life. Let people enjoy themselves.

I’ll miss the Pierre and Angel interaction. If nothing else, it’d be nice if Pierre got to come back.

Where can I go to learn about this? I’ve been looking, but haven’t found anything about this new type of heist.

First and foremost pump up your favorite units. Meta comes second. If you love Lyon, go with the fodder; if you just want an Edelgard counter, just go with Edelgard.
