Some notes:

Weight, in turn from mass, has no bearing on speed. Mass equates to force, which is what you'll have to deal with when the ground catches up to you. Mass, or weight, also does not correlate to surface area.

The Bends is the effect of rapid decompression of nitrogen in the blood stream. Considering that both parties are falling towards the ground (As opposed to falling elsewhere, I guess) with the air pressure increasing and in turn, putting greater pressure on the nitrogen in the bloodstream thereby making the bubbles smaller, no one is going to get The Bends.

Having more stuff on you, be it swords, clothing, massive amounts of body hair, increases surface area. Greater surface area makes for slower descent, even if it is negligable. A sword having an edge would not make for faster movement through the air by falling. It makes for less resistance to change in airspeed than if it were held flat against the wind, but is still offering greater resistance than if the blade were not there at all.

I think that's all I had to say. I forget.

"Making this s**t up" is what your crap looks like too. Mostly because we didn't exchange profiles or any of that s**t, so neither of us really knew any damn thing.


No sir, see, this is where you are wrong.

Everyone basically knew where your profile was.

Hell I knew about it long ago in my earlier stints at the GPD.

Mostly everyone who gives a damn about me knows where mines at as well, not to mention its in my journal.

While my character sheet is as conscice as possible, yours leaves too many holes and open doors for you to build hallway after hallway in.

You could say something, and I would have no choice but to take your word for it even though it might be the first time you ever did such a thing or can't do it at all.

The energy reversal I threw at you--- has been done before.

Ask Kraun, Josh or Shouyin.

The hand, wings--- everything I did-- has been foreshadowed in past fights, story arcs, or people have read my character doing in desperate situations.

What about you? All I have is your word, and probaly Tac's but thats no good cause he's your buddy.

And while people will say Josh can be bias with me, well I still have many other people that can vouch for me, 'cause they have rped with me and seen it.

All the s**t I can do, I developed through story and fights. I did not say 'ok im gonna make him and he can do this or this and this. but he wont do any of that until i say so or someone finds his clitoris.'

Edit: Like with your giant sword thing.

You say in your profile 'Has many other abilities and uses that is unknown yadda yadda'

For all we know, if you ever got attacked by toaster men from jupiter, the sword could polymorth into a giant oven, simply because its convenient and you can simply say 'oh wow! i didnt know that!'

Knew I stuffed my foot in my mouth somewhere in there. Vahn I'm sorry, that is NOT what I meant. I meant the whole clarifying of how you were falling bit. I'll respond to the rest in a sec, just wanted to offer my apologies for this.

I posted the bersker picture in the OOC.

I never edited it out of anything, nor have I EVER edited anything out or changed something in this fight.

Go look at the terminal velocity equation, that's what we're talking about, not speed. At least not directly.

>_> Right, so you've just proved my point for me. Viper's not going to flip over and fall head down. He'll fall back down.

Back is connected to the head. The head will be down, though the shoulders will probably be the 'center line' of it all. He's certainly not going a**-first or feet-first.

Quote:
It has something behind it when its one of the big major points you've been arguing, I'm pretty sure you went so far as to say the sword was the difference between winning and losing one time.

Never did. It didn't even come into the equation, really. The numbers I used were for "falling with hands and legs outstretched", so the sword wasn't really a factor at all in what I calculated.

Quote:
(You said a mile down was too far, so I pegged it at anywhere from half that distance to a fourth.) What? Did what? See what?

(I said 500 feet, but you two seemed to have your hearts set on more so I left it as a soft number.) See it. He passed out in his last post.

Quote:
I did Jello, you pegged Viper at falling 200mph. =/ Which is the equivalent to a professional skydiver doing everything possible to go faster. Don't try and skip over the parts you missed, I'm not.

I quoted the parts from the site I was using, and bolded the numbers I was taking. Both sets had comparable numbers for both values, just that each of them had a good verbal description for one person or the other so I couldn't use the same one.

Quote:
Are you serious? =/ That's the number we started at, in the actual thread.

Where?

You know what.

What am I doing here?

Lol.

I only entered this thing as a favour to Kazuma sow e could have a chance to fight mano y mano.

He friggin' lost due to time limit ages ago. My girlfriend User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. had to drop out due to pallate classes, stage combat classes, and regular acting classes taking up her schedule.

I have better things to use my time on than sitting here stressing out over who hits the floor first in a fight between a badass and the walking embodiment of destruction.

I should have been killed because my strength level is no where near "the ******** monster" and I very nearly was.

I had to lose some dear items to me and reveal a big part of my character's plot, and for what?

This s**t?

Psh.

Going to go play more Ps2 then give my girl a call.

Truer words were not spoken.




Someone just decide something, apparently my decision was wrong.

He's luck, he can walk away. I'm stuck here with you people bitching in both ears at once. mad

Clash was the first to jump ship.

I should have done the same months back.

Can I decide my summary to be the truth?

Oh, christ. Unless you want to try and pull a whole equation from a single variable...

Not going to touch it. I have no ******** clue what the drag coefficient or cross sectional area of a human body is, when they are carrying objects or tumbling or moving. I really and truly doubt anyone here can figure that out.

I do know, know however, that drag plays a more important role here. Simply because terminal velocity becomes a moot point.

Does anyone know the terminal velocity given the two bodies? Probably not.

Have you even been falling far enough to reach the terminal velocity of yourself? No idea. Unknown unknowns.
