Move Approval V
I don't know what posts you're writing, but 15 seconds is definitely not a full post. "Officially" fight posts last an average of about 5 minutes or so. But even in faster paced fights it's still going to usually be about a minute. I can't really think of any posts - besides one that didn't use the full wordcount or one that contained a lot of monologue - that would only last 15 seconds. I guess someone could make their post last 15 seconds, but a powerup or buff move can reliably last 5 minutes - or at least 1 or 2 depending on writing. You're focusing too much on extreme cases, and superspeed restricts someone to running in a straight line - it's not for versatile fighting like that. The point is, haste lets someone do twice as much over 15 seconds while preventing Viola from doing anything of worth and taking a high fatigue cost from them. And there's a charge time. Haste is very clearly a one-time short boost (I could specify that it can only be used once per person in the move if you want - but I figured it was obvious no one would take the fatigue cost twice), whereas a buff move that lasts for a post allows someone to get a more sustained boost, and gives them the freedom to make it last longer.
