Dispatch General Discussion Thread

That's just the weight of the suit itself, to be fair.
We also got some potential Class 50 lifting strength for the suit to scale to with this one which might help, not to mention anything else that could pop up. Another to be fair is that class K is like. Blue Whale weight, so it's not surprising we're not getting quite near it yet.

I suppose some characters might scale to the Class 50. Flambae probably (And anyone who scales to him)

In Chapter 5, we see Robert benching with a pair of 35s and 25s. Given size of the plates, those are likely in kilograms. Gym bars are typically 20 kg, for a total of 70 + 50 + 20 = 140 kg.

The most common ratio of weight one's able to bench vs. squat vs. deadlift is about 3:4:5 (source), giving Robert a deadlift of 233.33 kg, which is a bit above the low end of Peak Human. (Invisigal calling him a Dad Bod really makes me wonder what the heck she thinks dads normaly look like)

...And then Flambae casually squatted like, 300 kg (35 * 8 + 20) with barely any effort.

I'm sorry, but Robert is not benching over 300 pounds, and especially not deadlifting over 500 lbs. That is obscene for a person of his physique and perceived fitness, near advanced to elite powerlifter territory.

Most weightlifting plates, especially in America, are listed in increments of of lbs. Robert is most likely benching around 165 lbs (which is still a bit high but not crazy). We don't see him finish more than one rep, so we would probably assume that's his one rep max at a minimum. The 3:4:5 is a bit misleading, since depending on where you focus you can have a much closer squat and deadlift that are way higher than your bench.

Batman moment. This is the same dude who somehow survived his mech suit exploding, and woke up 15 hours later with no lasting injuries. Robert's flat ass somehow having more muscle fibers within it than is volumetrically possible would not surprise me at this point.

While you're right (Torrence is in California), the thing is the plates he uses labeled "35" were just too big to be 35 pounders. They're both wider and thicker than these (among other 35 lbs plates I looked up), which are barely over a foot in diameter. And I was already assuming that it was his 1RM.

Yeah, it's more a rule of thumb. Point is that someone's bench isn't their max amount they can lift.
 
the romance seems to have a bigger highlight in the last two episodes as seen with the achievements. Even one that rejects both BB and invisigal
 
I also don't think he linearly ages with his powers. I think him saying "run 50 times faster... aged 50 times faster" is a oversimplification of the effects of his powers. Especially he is considered to be able to go lightspeed.

I don't think he can go those speeds now because of his age and body, but a prime Chase/Track Star being lightspeed is fine
 
I mean sure ig ( lowkey disagreeing with the SoL statement but Imma roll with it ) but what are your thoughts on the calc

Although whom even scales to that, unless there are heroes or villains that could keep up with him
 
I wonder if I can calc the speed of the members based on how fast they travel to missions. Cuz the map in the system should be a one to one scale to the actual size of the district.

If we're going off that, Visi gets a huge speed boost. She has that perk that allows her to move faster when she's sent alone.
 
Yo anyone got some combat speed feats that a characters does that is not the one where Invisigal dodges Lightningstrikes electrical blast.

The problem is that the passing of time is sped up Five Nights At Freddy's style, so a whole shift can fit within a reasonable gaming session.
 
Ok, but supersonic doesnt mean he is just the bare minimum at best, just cuz Chase was supersonic+, much like how a character being called faster then light doesnt mean just FTL is his best, they could be FTL+, MFTL, MFTL+

But it's more likely that Chase would be faster as he is way higher up in the supersonic tier and the way I interpret Phenomamans supersonic statement is that he is within the actual supersonic tier so mach 1.1 - 2.5 but if we include the supersonic+ tier then ya he could be faster than Chase at the very highest of that tier, also there's that one image of BB and Phenomaman near a black hole, which I don't know much about but it probably would be like FTL if they travelled there in like a month.

Hot take: I think Visi was right about the boat. I think the team could have absolutely handled it. I don't care how drunk they are, no one there (save maybe Shroud if he's just crazy like that) is touching Phenomaman or Blazer.

In hindsight yeah, but at the time of the arguement tbf as far as I remember they weren't quite sure who would be there at the moment. I did have Robert agree with her in my playthrough though which definitely has nothing to do with the romance path I'm taking for this first playthrough of mine. (I do actually think it would make a fair bit of sense for Robert to agree in universe given the circumstances).
On the bright side, things not going the way of the whole team going right away means we got that scene on the boat with the enemy battle royale ahh situation and Visi having to get past it all, I really liked that it was fun
 
Also update for this;
vsbattles.fandom.com

Dispatch - Mecha Man Size and Weight (Reference Blog?)

vsbattles.fandom.com vsbattles.fandom.com

Looks like we got approved for some size and weight for the Mecha Man suit, doing it again (and better this time, crazy what happens when you look back and learn from mistakes) actually led to a higher result than my previous thoughts. Still in Class 5 and Large Size Class 0, no tier increase specifically, but quite a bit further into it than before (over 1.5m taller and over a 1000kg heavier than my calculations from the very first blog I made for this verse), so hopefully it's helpful for any size and mass-based scaling centered on the big guy we can find in Episode 1 and the flashback fight in Episode 5, plus I got something for Robert's height in there for stuff outside the suit too.

That is, of course, assuming I didn't misunderstand which part of the calc looked usable, I assumed it was the full recalculation stuff.

Oh yeah, Phenomaman could've also been there... Honestly, I get her decision if Waterboy was picked, since then Blonde Blazer's the only heavy hitter and it's possible somebody could try to remove her amulet mid-combat. But if Phonemaman was also there, then there's absolutely no excuse for not rushing the place.

Especially considering the rationale of, "We wait for downtown to handle it," when Phenomaman (who was working for downtown!) is right there.

The context for the space image is that the two are having a conversation about what they picture doing with their lives while in a sushi restaurant. They're by a black hole because Phenomaman was like, "I mean I figured we'd just keep being heroes until some more advanced civilization consumes the Earth in an intergalactic war."

So the blackhole is purely theoretical, they're still in the restaurant.
