User:GiverOfThePeace/Furi Laser Dodge
Calc comes from here.
Premise
Currently, The Stranger is Superhuman speed for a brief piece of dialogue in game that states he can move at 73 kmh. That's impressive, but the game also has him dodging The Strap's laser, which comes from a literal spotlight. A light dodge at 73 kmh? Not on my watch.
This would make him Superhuman with (blank) Combat and Reaction speeds. Let's do it.
Justifications
Justifiying it is a real laser/light beam. Here we go.
1. It is shown at a constant speed.
2. It comes from a viable light source (spotlight)
3. It refracts when interacting with non-magical mirror surfaces (i.e., metal)
4. It never changes direction without said refraction.
Calc
We will be using this. We are probably going to get very low results for this, I will be honest. But let's try it anyways. Using frame by frame on 25 FPS, we will compare the bullet's speed to the laser (since The Stranger can dodge said bullets easily and we don't have a good angle for The Stranger).
In one frame, the laser makes it to the end of the screen, and the bullet moves some margin.
These changes occurred in one frame, so at the same time. Stranger = 57 px = 182.88 cm 1 px = 3.21 cm Bullet Movement = 44 px = 141.17 cm Laser Movement = 520 px = 1668.38 cm To calculate speed. Distance Moved by Object x Speed of Opposing Object / Distance Moved of Opposing Object 1.4117 x c / 16.6838 c = Light Speed We get 25366943.6 m/s, or 8.46% Speed of Light. waow. Massively Hypersonic+.
Tally
Stranger Attacks Fast: 0.0846c, Massively Hypersonic+
Note: I believe that this scales to his reactions and combat speed only. He has a directly stated speed which would likely be surpassed, but he can clearly dodge and respond to these projectiles. Should be good.
