Our page on Kinetic Energy Feats says that fiction often fails to differentiate between the attack potency and the speed of a character, and because it leads to unrealistic values.
Does this leave any room for specific cases where neither of those seem to apply?
I'm specifically thinking of profiles I'm working on from a story where characters running quickly create explosions when they fall over (i.e. when they'd be crashing with all their kinetic energy into the ground).
These characters are running quickly, but to an unquantifiable extent. And those calcs likely wouldn't involve destruction above the low tier 8 region, which wouldn't contradict them being somewhat smaller than a monster that moves at 900,000 m/s, since those speeds for human bodies would reach 7-C, well beyond the destruction we see.
