Rate the fastest character

[n1kosh]

I think this is an important topic for discussion because a lot depends on the speed!!!
I propose to assess the speed of the character in the following manner:
1. Startup combo (or single)
2. Recovery after combo (or single)
3. Startup special
4. Recovery after special
5. + on hit
Example:
Kung Jin (Shaolin)
1. 9/10
2. 10/10
3. 9/10
4. 10/10
5. 10/10
48/50 Fastest tier

Damn, 4 minutes too slow.

What's his name Whis? From the new Dragon Ball series. He can pretty much go to anywhere in the universe in like a second...so that's pretty fast.

I believe Jax has great mix up speed. Do not know all the frame data off hand but he is legitimately fast. His 11 is awesome, his overhead special (bf2d) is fast and Jax is able to punish very well because his well ranged fast attacks. His f3 may not be the fastest but I believe it is in the run for best range/speed into combo speed move.

For example when I'm playing Sub vs Kung Jin and KJ has this overhead attack that puts him right outside of heavy combo punish range. Sure I can hit him with an assortment of other moves and get decent damage. With Jax on the other hand F3 xx exBF2D, run xx, f21, 11, f21, db1. Gets you a cool 38%-40% (In between there some where)

Sure Lao is quick I use him as well but Jax has my nomination.

No Reptile?

No Reptile?

The last patch gave Reptile a 7 frame poke where before it was 9 I believe. His overhead is 11 frames though that's impressive. I like Syzoth just don't think is to fast. I'm sure if someone crunched the numbers he's pretty quick.

OH forgot to mention his EX Crawl.

Just based on who think has the fastest 40yd dash...I'm going with Sonya. Her run speed is impressive.

 

[n1kosh]

Reptile is not exactly quick

 

[MadeOfMetal]

cassie cage/sonya/liu kang

 

[Schuyler]

Reptile is the fastest and you don't even have him listed. He barley uses stamina because of his dash. His slide is a 6 frame advancing armor low that can travel full screen. He has a variation that makes him the flash. Reptiles the fastest.

What the hell are you implying?

 

[I GOT HANDS]

Sub is fucking fast. That back and forward dash is amazing, run speed is dope, and covers ground with slide. Kung Lao runs, jumps and glide super fast but I think his quick advancing punches make him look faster than he is. I thinik the fastest has to be Liu Kang maybe, who is super fast running, great start up speed on normals, and has a full screen fast advance with Flying Dragon Kick


As far as covering ground goes though I think struggle to beat Displacer Raiden. Superman and positionable teleports.

Liu Kang says he's "Simply too fast"

What do you think its implying? It says it right on the tin. Sorry that anime doesn't do it for me bruh.
