Speed

## What is and Terms

### What is

**Speed** is the magnitude of the change of a object in its position over time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.

### Terms

Speed, In this wiki is a term that is used to determine how fast a character/object can move through a certain space/distance, there are five types of speed: Attack Speed, Combat Speed, Reaction Speed, Travel Speed, and Flight Speed

### Attack Speed:

Attack speed refers to how quickly a character or entity can perform offensive actions, such as swinging a weapon, firing a projectile, or casting a spell. It's an essential attribute in combat-based video games, tabletop role-playing games, and combat scenarios in general. Faster attack speed can allow a character to deal more damage in a shorter amount of time.

### Combat Speed

Combat speed is the speed at which a character or entity can move and react during a battle. It encompasses both offensive and defensive actions, such as dodging attacks, parrying, and changing combat stances. Faster combat speed allows a character to maneuver more effectively in combat situations, making it harder for opponents to hit them.

### Reaction Speed

Reaction speed is the ability to perceive and respond to external stimuli or threats quickly. In combat or other high-stress situations, a fast reaction speed can mean the difference between success and failure. It's crucial for dodging attacks, blocking, and countering opponents effectively.

### Travel Speed

Travel speed refers to how fast a character or entity can move from one location to another over a distance. This is particularly important in open-world video games, role-playing games, and storytelling. Characters with high travel speed can traverse vast distances more rapidly, which can be advantageous for exploration and completing quests.

### Flight Speed

Flight speed is the speed at which a character or object can move through the air when they have the ability to fly. This is commonly seen in superhero stories, fantasy settings, and science fiction. Faster flight speed allows characters to cover large distances in the air quickly and can be advantageous for transportation and aerial combat.

## Other Speed Terms

**Infinite:** This term refers to the capability to travel to any location instantly, covering a distance in no time at all, or to traverse an infinite distance within a finite period. Achieving infinite speed can occur when moving during a Time Stop or similar circumstances where time does not progress at a regular physical pace, effectively making time equal to zero (as explained in Note 1 below). Notably, methods like teleportation are excluded from consideration.

**Immeasurable:** Transcending Timelines and Linear Time: This refers to the ability to move beyond conventional timelines and even linear time itself. The reason this speed is deemed immeasurable lies in the fact that the standard speed formula, S = D/T, cannot be applied when either T (time) or D (distance) is undefined. This principle is also why navigating between or transcending multiple temporal dimensions can bestow the status of Immeasurable speed. Furthermore, characters who can navigate through the time axis as if it were a spatial dimension would inherently qualify for this category.
