Hi. Sorry Floxy.

Calculation.

Its flaws:

  • Claim's Naruto moved 18 cm, and that the beam moved 15.
Why is this a flaw?

Well. Measuring the beam to his face when it's at an angle from his face, meaning it wasn't actually going directly to his dome, doesn't make sense. This image confirms that it was to his left, and not aimed directly at him.

How would I fix this flaw?

Measure the beam further. Simple.

  • The Pythagoras.
Why is this a flaw?

Here's the Pythagoras. See the flaw? Yes? No? Maybe? It's fine, I'll tell you.

This connects back to flaw 1. They're measuring the green line. Which means it should be the longest line. I.e. Line red here. However, this blue line is the longest in the pixel-scaled image... Oof. B^2 is longer than C^2?,,

Here is what it looks like on paper. The beam must obviously be the longest, as it's what's being measured to be C^2. Now, C is the red line. The blue line is the angsizing to the face, and the latter purple is the face. The blue line is longer than the red line. Marginally. A^2 is longer than B^2

There are two possible straight-line paths from the beam’s position to Naruto's face. The one with the greater upward angle should be longer, the calc picked the shorter one as the “true” line, that’s wrong. The angle from the beam to Naruto's face is a longer line because you'd measure from the beam to the middle of his face, making the angle larger than the beam going to the bottom of his face, because measuring his whole face you'd just go with the middle there. Making this Pythagoras... Well. Wrong. Remember, both lines start from the beam, and end at the face.

How would I fix this flaw?

Measure the beam further. Simple. This fixes it because the red line becomes longer and connects back to flaw 1. Basically, it isn't a right triangle. It could be, though, if fixed.
 
Actually Floxy already redid this calc in a thread few months ago. I think this was the one:
https://vsbattles.com/threads/tryin...iding-madaras-light-fangs.184043/post-7321309

It was never blogged because the feat isn't used and the old calc is still in the verse page because the whole verse page is kidna ass. Net is working on a new one so the calc will probably go bye bye when that eventually comes.

Although it's starting to be as mythical as the chakra blog
 
Pretty much what David said. Calc isn't used anymore, but yeah it's flawed.
 
Well, this can likely be closed soon, just another staff member should be good.
