It does put you on super sonic reaction time/reflexes, not necessarily running speed. It's a reflex feat.

Link is not and will never be god, so stop trying to make out he is. /end

Hell it's only the equipment he has that keeps him alive oh and the player cause you know you can't make a game which you can't complete.

I never made him out to be a god? It's a feat, and it stands.

screampaste is a long-time supporter of using gameplay mechanics.

Actually, I'm not. It's not a gameplay mechanic, it's a mandatory gameplay section.

Gameplay mechanic = press A to sword stuff.

Mandatory gameplay section = Character has to do X in the storyline, but you get to make them do it.

How do you know Majora is more talented with the whip?

Majora's whips were physicly part of him, changed length depending on how far away Link was, and were prehensile. More talented? Maybe not. [Adam Winrich is a world record holder.]

What I do know for certain; his whips would move faster than Adam Winrich's. That's laws of physics. The feat stands, imho it's hard to question the validity of it. ๐Ÿ˜ I don't know where all this hate comes from. D:

Being faster doesn't necessarily prove the speed. There's a lot of technique involved in whipping.

Being faster makes it faster. =P A cracked whip breaks the sound barrier, Adam Winrich can do this 7 times a second. Majora's whips would be moving much much faster than Winrich's due to their length. When they crack the tip covers much more ground in a shorter period of time. Majora's whips are also prehensile giving him even more control than a normal whip would have, and you'd be amazed how much control you have of a whip when you get good at it. [See Winrich's video in the Link respect thread.]

I've seen the video. It's still not a convincing case.

How isn't it? It proves the level of control a real person can achieve with a whip that's not even a part of them. It's a fact that every time you crack a whip you break the sound barrier. What's not convincing?

You assume that Majora is as talented as him. Merely because there are superhuman factors involved, doesn't automaticly means it equals or surpasses.

The laws of physics dictate that Majora's whips will be travelling faster. ๐Ÿ˜ I don't assert that Majora is more skilled, just more effective.

A man of 80 kilo muscles can easily beat a man of 150 kilo muscles in armwrestling. Even with a longer whip and more muscles, Majora isn't necessarily more effective with it.

I normal human with a whip cannot whip faster than a super being with a super whip seven times longer. ๐Ÿ˜ It's simply not a fair comparison.

Because that being is superhuman?

Because that being is super human with a super whip. ๐Ÿ˜

Let me explain why, I think you may just be misunderstanding my logic.

Speed is just distance/time. The farther the distance in relation to time, the faster something is moving.

Now imagine the earth spinning on it's axis. All of the earth spins at the same time, but not the same speed. Weird right? The earth's crust at the poles is moving slower than the earth's crust at the equator! Why? Because, even though it spins at the same time as the equator, it has a much shorter distance to go. In order for the equator to keep up, it has to move much more quickly.

Now apply this to a sword, the tip of a sword moves MUCH faster than your upper arm, near the shoulder, even though it's all moving in synchtonicity.

On an entirely different note. Michael Jackson died.

I'm not kidding.

That still doesn't help the reaction case.

R.I.P

It's my buddy's birthday, so now he'll never forget the day Farrah Fawcette [can't spell it] and MJ both died.
