Lm Classic: Yraelz vs. Acer

I think there's a few vast misunderstandings happening in this debate round. I hope to shed some light on those. Let's begin with the speed of light argumentation. Let me preface this argument by explaining exactly what my opponent has to do. He must prove without a doubt that faster than light travel is impossible. I provide sources stating that sephiroth can move faster than light, and I will provide a movie clip in a moment that shows him doing it. This means that we have proof of Sephiroth indeed moving much quicker than light. In order to disprove this only option my opponent has is to prove that there is not possible way that Sephiroth could ever travel faster than light. The bottom line is that my opponent just can't do this. I have far too much evidence discrediting his ideas of 'no way to move faster than light'. Additionally, since I'm the one with evidence of sephiroth moving faster than light, I don't even have to explain how he does it. I can literally show you that he does it, via video (http://www.youtube.com...) and evidence. As long as there is a possibility that what you see in this videos and evidence is possible then I have won this section of the debate. I've already shown sephiroth can move faster than light, my opponent must prove that it is impossible. First my opponent uses my own source to argue that Tachyon particles are too unstable to be treated as existent. My intent with this argument was never to prove that Tachyons do exist. Rather I'm simply casting doubt on the current system. My source does so nicely when it states, "no experimental evidence for or against the existence of tachyon particles has been found". Additionally providing they could exist there is nothing to say that Sephiroth cannot shift into Tachyon particles. Secondly my opponent argues that wormholes and the Alcubierre drive both manipulate space time. In other words my opponent has conceded this entire contention to me. I agree, they do manipulate space time. The definition of space time: is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single continuum. My opponent makes a direly fatal error when he equates space time manipulation with time travel. They are NOT the same thing. Time travel is a form of space time manipulation but not all space time manipulation is time travel. For instance, a wormhole could pop someone out a billion miles away at the very moment they left. This doesn't mean they time traveled, just that they traveled very quickly. Thus my opponent has conceded that there are ways to travel faster than the speed of light that do not require time travel. Third and finally my opponent has argued that the theory of relativity is proven. I don't think this in any way negates my argumentation. All I'm saying is that it doesn't apply to every situation and that there are exceptions to the theory. But additionally, even if my opponent were to win this point I'd still win on the last two points. Especially considering that traversable wormholes are considered valid solutions in general relativity. But I seriously doubt I'm going to lose this point anyways. I implore everyone to read the page on the Alcubierre drive. It is one such plausible instance in which the theory of relativity does not apply. Specifically the page states, "conventional relativistic effects such as time dilation do not apply in the way they would in the case of a ship moving at high velocity through flat spacetime" http://en.wikipedia.org... Uh oh. But let's pretend for a second that you as a judge didn't buy all of my analysis on faster than light movement. This still leaves my opponent devastated. He argues that flash steps are going to save him. This is a problem.... 1. My opponent looks at the forum and picks the quickest possible movement for the flash step as his position. This doesn't make a great deal of sense when we consider the entire two pages of the forum. >>Six people in this thread argue that flash steps are somewhere slower than the speed of sound. >>One person argues that they simply teleport, this is quote my opponent takes. >>Two people argue that it's the speed of light, however they say that only the goddess of flash can move that fast. If they can indeed move at the speed of light then this analysis would be true because the goddess of flash is faster than everyone. Thus everyone is slower than her and no one but her can be the speed of light. Here you can see her beating others: http://www.youtube.com... With all of this evidence under consideration, it is most likely that a flash step is slower than the speed of sound. However I can definitely prove that a flash step is not instant teleportation. If you look back to the forum you will notice that someone argues against teleportation. Their analysis is that the bleach characters can make attacks while flash stepping. Thus they could not have instantly teleported and made an attack somewhere in between. Additionally my opponent has a final fatal problem. Look again to the source that I have provided. The problem is that the bleach characters cannot react to characters doing a flash step. They only begin to react when they see the other character reappear after a flash step. They can only guess where the flash step will take the other character. The problem you ask? Sephiroth, if you believe that he goes the speed of light only, will always be moving as fast as the goddess of flash when she is using flash steps. Meaning no one will ever see him or be able to react to him. Additionally since no one is as fast as the goddess of flash, then no one is as fast as Sephiroth. Meaning, even if they could see him, he would still destroy them. There is a difference between being able to see someone and reacting to someone. I can see a train coming if I'm tied to a track, but that doesn't mean I can react. Even if my opponents characters could see Sephiroth coming they could not react. Time to examine the second misunderstanding. My opponent argues that he must have told his team what to do. Thus Kakashi would take his eye band off at the beginning..... I think my opponent should re-read the rules: http://www.debate.org... "6. Team members are absolutely loyal to the team leader, unless subjected to some form of mind control by the opposing team. For example, though Superman and Lex Luthor are enemies, they could still be on the same team." "7. The team leader may not directly participate in the competition, but may only facilitate. The role of the team leader is to explain what the team would do and why it would win against the opposing team." My opponent drastically misunderstands what a team leader is. The team leader does not participate in this fight. The team leader argues why their team would win, and what likely strategies their team would employ. The team leader DOES NOT order their team to do things. That would be pointless because then my opponent would just read my section of the debate and then order his team (instantaneously) to not do moves that would fall into traps my team would create. Team leaders only argue for their team winning, they do not order their team. Thus, Kakashi never takes his eyeband off, and his team gets owned. Next, my opponent has already argued that Kakashi would come to fight Black Alice, not his clones. I'm holding him to the first statement. Kakashi wouldn't suddenly decide to do something differently because there was one less person killing him. Kakashi's powers would be stolen if he managed to avoid sephiroth. Additionally black alice gives powers back at her own will. She doesn't have to abandon Sentry powers because she suddenly absorbed a clone. Finally, on house. First off, building a toxin would take forever. Secondly, house would be dead before he even moved to do so and Sentry would destroy the shi
