This is important, I want you to take Dr. Mario and Mario and make them run together. Dr. Mario definitely is slower than Mario.

What do you think of this?

Reported for double posting :198:

Dr. Mario already had separate multipliers placed on his damage (damage ingame is something like x1.12 what's shown in MasterCore for him) so it wouldn't surprise me if he had them applied to his movement speeds as well.

That's what I thought. I remember his mastercore values being WEIRD.

1.6 coded numbers and slower than 1.36 normally, would make the multiplier somewhere between 0.82 to 0.84.

i'm surprised and a bit disappointed that the dev team decided to make Mega Man walk that slow. I mean given that his Ftilt relies on him moving at walk speed you would think they would've at least made his walk speed close to mario's.

Come on, it's already fine. You don't want a battle robot chase you around with Sonic speed while also attacking at the same time.

(Honestly, having an F-tilt that moves is really great already)

Thought I'd throw this here: Mewtwo's running speed is tied at 19th with WFT, and his walking speed is tied at 33rd with Lucario.

Bottom of the tier list.

They're already tied so it's kind of irrelevant but the game outright states Robin has the slowest run speed, while Jiggs is #2..

Thank you.

Yes, the op needs updating but I'm a biT busy atm with frame data + website etc, but thanks.

How about some speed acceleration ranking ^_^

Mewtwo has a slow walk speed and Marth a really fast one, but walking around short distances as Mewtwo feels a LOT faster and smoother than with Marth. After switching back to Marth from using a lot of Mewtwo I even thought Marths walkspeed was nerfed... just cuz Mewtwo moves around much quicker.

I know it's probably not easy to do, just feel like this is also important and totally gets lost with just a maxspeed ranking.

Is there any way to get data values for Shulk's custom arts yet?

The list is missing Roy/Ryu/Lucas, just a reminder or w/e.

Is this how long it takes to transition from the dash animation to the run animation or something else? Game & Watch makes good use of foxtrotting but I don't know if that's because his initial dash length is short or because the full dash animation is quick (possibly both).

Nice! Can you do guest miis as well?

Edit:
Gunner's is 8.

I didn't test Swordfighter specifically, but his is in the booty range, likely 16, maybe 12 (Marth's or Link's).

How fast in Roy's initial dash? Do we know?

It seems faster than Marth's 1.5 but it could be the same.

So people are saying. I haven't looked at it myself.
It's been proven that he walks and runs about as fast as Charizard and MK, respectively. But no one knows the exact number.

Did some training mode testing for estimations:
  • Cloud's walk speed moves slightly faster than Rosaluma (1.0835) but rivals Shulk ( 1.1)
  • Cloud's walk speed with Limit Break aura moves faster than Pikachu (1.24) but rivals Diddy Kong (1.25)
  • Cloud's run speed moves faster than Meta Knight (1.9) but rivals Roy (1.95)
  • Cloud's run speed with Limit Break aura moves faster than Zero Suit Samus (2.1) but rivals Fox (2.184)
EDIT:

Idk Kirby's exact run speed value. It's greater than 1.52 which is Shulk's current run speed assuming that hasn't changed. But I finally live in a world where Monado Speed Kirby is faster than Monado Speed Shulk. BARELY.:scared:

So now, in a very specific standard metagame with certain requirements, Kirby can become the second fastest running character in the game. This is the Monado's Power. . .

I got similar values to yours (posted here: http://smashboards.com/threads/clouds-frame-data-1-1-3.426026/), but slightly different. Can I ask what method you used?

I had some values different from Masonomace Masonomace and -Iceberg -Iceberg .
I confirmed that:
  • His walk speed is faster than Rosalina(1.0835) and seems to be same as Shulk(1.1).
  • His walk speed with Limit Break aura is faster than Diddy(1.25) and slower than Villager's run(1.27).
  • His run speed is faster than Roy(1.95) and seems to be same as Charizard(2.0)
  • His run speed with Limit Break aura is faster than ZSS(2.1) and slower than Fox(2.184)
  • His fall speed is faster than MK(1.66) and slower than ZSS(1.7).
  • His fall speed with Limit Break aura is faster than Peach's fast fall(1.84) and seems to be same as Greninja(1.85).
  • His air speed is faster than R.O.B.(1.08) and seems to be same as DHD(1.1).
  • His air speed with Limit Break aura is faster than Yoshi(1.28), he has the best air speed.

I tested in Special Smash and made them smaller, lighter and slower.
In my Custom Stage, he takes about 30 seconds to walk from end to end.

Your numbers are definitely more accurate. For my results, I just went to a custom stage with two long platforms in Training Mode, and compared Cloud's running and walking speed with other characters, using 1/4 speed (hold L) to make sure they started at the same time. I think I'll update my thread with your values because mine are a little sloppy. I had no idea his air speed would be that crazy with Limit Break, wow. Would say these are the most precise numbers based on your data?

Walk Speed: 1.1
Walk Speed (Limit Break): 1.26
Run Speed: 2
Run Speed (Limit Break): 2.142
Fall Speed: 1.68
Fall Speed (Limit Break): 1.85
Air Speed: 1.1
Air Speed (Limit Break): 1.3

Because of the different opinions in testing, I'll probably test this myself today and come back with the results. I did briefly test his dash speed and it's definitely between Roy and MK, so I'm unsure how you guys got the same dash speed as Charizard.

I would personally prefer numbers that aren't verified through datamining not simply be made up because that can lead to first impressions syndrome which is very hard to scrub clean when people find out the actual numbers.

^^In addition to Cloud, Will you be updating Mewtwo, Kirby, and Lucario's walk and dash speeds?

Yes, I have Mewtwo's (1.9 run, 1.2 walk).

I'm not entirely sure what other movement speeds changed. Did Kirby get a walk speed buff? I thought Lucario only falls faster?
