[OOC] The Corrigan School for Advanced Learning and Development (A DC School RP)

[Lord Wraith]

sports are different from books and tests. Being brilliant doesn't mean having a genius IQ. I point to Goku for example, amazing and ingenious martial artist, but a total moron when it comes intellect outside of combat.

@Weird Tales

Indeed, well we'll see if the actions match the words when the time comes.

[Weird Tales]

If Mars gets the hit, it is a KO. Instantly. However getting the hit is difficult. Rick is the clone of Barry Allen. That makes him really really fast. So it is a toss up.

@Avanhelsing

he's not supersonic according to the sheet, unless I've misread it

[Lord Wraith]

@Weird Tales

He's not, he'll be able to break it by age 20. Proportionately, he would roughly have a top speed of 652.2mph currently which is not far off from Mach 1, saying of course he's increasing at a rate of approximately 38mph per year.

That said, Rick's striking force, saying he weighs approximately 142lbs is approximately 2.1 metric tonnes of striking force after a quick conversion.

@Weird Tales

And how does this increase his chances of being able to make contact with a speedster as fast as Rick?

(Hint: It doesn't.)

[FacePunch]

@FacePunch Are you getting pumped for new music from TFK? The samples for 'Born Again' have been pretty good so far.

@Lord Wraith

So hype. Thousand Foot Krutch is just the best.

@FacePunch

I've seen them live three times so far, they never fail to impress.

@Tyler

In the context of superheroes and comics, martial artists are able to time a speedster's movements and check them with a quick attack. It's how Deathstroke manages to tag the Flash during their encounters.

@FacePunch

Yeah but Mars is no Deathstroke.

Add to that further he's also not really a martial artist even.

@Lord Wraith

Boxing is a martial art

[Weird Tales]

@Tyler@Lord Wraith okay I concede. He's probably just going to get spammed with hits and lose.

@Lord Wraith

And Rick is no Wally West. It evens out pretty well, IMO. Although Rick certainly has an advantage.

[Lord Wraith]

@Weird Tales

Yeah but its limited in scope. It's only focused on punching which is great if you're in a stand up fight. In the debated situation, Mars is not therefore he's going to lose.

@FacePunch

Why'd you pick Wally of any of the Flashes?

[FacePunch]

@Lord Wraith He's the fastest and the one Slade fights the most often. Both as Kid Flash and the Flash.

@FacePunch

Well that sucks, I always thought Barry was the fastest. Never did like Wally.

[Tyler]

Wally's the best Flash. Wraith's an idiot.

[Lord Wraith]

@Tyler

You sir, you wound me.

[Weird Tales]

Whoever is the main character of the flash comics is the fastest flash so right now it's Barry.

[FacePunch]

Well, okay. New 52 Barry is the fastest in the new universe. But in the old universe, Wally was stupid fast. He literally fought a time manipulator using only his speed. He also made Professor Zoom look like a total tool.
