Nothing on the site lets you double up the things you are trying to double up, and things even remotely similar to it are far less effective AND cost sp. This isn't just a no, its a "Nope, lol, not even". I am confused as to how you would think this is even possible. Are you not using the same criteria to judge your own moves as you do others? I hardly think you would approve someone else's move like this.
Because powerups/super utilities last longer? Because this is a very short-term boost? Because the drawbacks accommodate it? Because this doesn't actually change stats (although it achieves a similar effect). For the person under the effects of this move, they don't feel twice as fast. Everything else is slower. And a bullet travelling at half speed isn't going to be that much easier to dodge, depending (but yeah, they can see someone aiming in slo-mo, etc.). I mean, I'll just bump the charge time or something, or add some other drawback to try and make it work.
Also... you sorta can "double things". Like charging an attack for twice as long. Time manipulation already lets you increase/decrease charge times and the speed of yourself, allies and enemies proportionally - it's just highly limited (the rules don't specify by how much, but I always tend to picture it as being just enough to let you or your bros do something a little bit faster at the cost of fatigue - maybe like by 10 or 20% or so, idk). Haste is taking that to an extreme and I'm attempting to add appropriate drawbacks. If you think there's something I need to add to make this work, go ahead and say so. Right now, it's letting one ally do twice as much while Viola literally can't do anything, and it has a charge time and high fatigue cost.
Generally, I tend to leave the final ruling on higher power moves to other staffers. If this move came along to me, I'd probably think, "I dunno, but I think you've got the right sorta drawbacks there. I'll leave it to another staffer."
