C) Starfire can’t use her ftl speed in combat because her combat speed is slower than her travel speed
You need feats to show that A is more likely than B or C.
that's the thing I often forgot about kmc rules if stated otherwise cis is on
I've been to different battle forums and some has cis off for standard fight
it makes sense for cis to be off in a forum fight. for one cis is often related to pis, it's deciding factor in comic book fight because most comic fights have pre-determined circumstances, not 1v1 in a cage
taking characters personality into consideration in a forum fight is dumb.
full capacity rule by itself should include cis off, that's what full capacity means.
now I'm gonna go full h1 here
A. Do I think Starfire can fight at ftl speed? of course no, but travel speed is correlated to combat speed. someone who can run fast usually can fight fast, that's how it goes.
Starfire can travel ftl in space, let's half it since it's in a fight on earth, she would still be able to fly at half the lightspeed. now let's half it again, for good measure and say she can twist and turn at a quarter of lighspeed. let's half it again for good measure and say she fights at 1/8th of lightspeed.
that's over 80 millions miles per hour.
B. let's say she doesn't go all out, she really half ass it, she could still be blitzing at 10 millions miles per hour
C. her combat speed is slower than her travel speed, and she isn't going all out, she still is coming towards psylocke 10 millions miles per hour, 50 fts away from her, can psylocke either drops her with tp or dodges her in this scenerio. when starfire is coming at her with super speed, super strength, and energy projection shooting out of her hands. how does she survives the initial blitze.
