Kakashi Hatake Wrote:The description of Super Jumping says you can perform a 'double jump' provided you have a surface to kick off of (like a building or rock wall). There's no limit to how many times you can do this at a time - if you had two surfaces aligned in such a way, you could double jump endlessly.Dante Wrote:Posting a few raw abilities that I'm on the fence about function here:
Sky Star - 300 OM (Requires Super Jumping)
While in mid-air, Dante concentrates magical energy at his feet to create a circular demonic glyph about a meter in diameter, which he then immediately uses as a surface to perform a 'double jump'. He cannot travel any higher than his height limit for Super Jumping with this move, and cannot use this move again until he lands on the ground fully.
The question: This move ultimately allows Dante to perform a single free 'double jump' (as described in the Super Jumping power description). I am simply not in the knowing if this is an acceptable move to create.
Air Raid - ??? OM (Requires Flight)
Dante channels his inner devil, and transforms the tails of his coat into a pair of demonic wings. With these wings, he can stay aloft in mid-air by spreading them open, even if not actively flapping them. Whenever he stops flying, the wings fold and revert back to their normal form as coat-tails, the demonic energy retreating into Dante's form. These wings naturally appear whenever Dante assumes his devil form and cannot be dismissed then.
The question: If I already have Flight, would I have any need for a move like this which simply explains Dante's specific application of this power? My understanding (from what I studied) is that this is simply RP fodder and wouldn't cost anything, but I would like some confirmation.
Vortex - 300 OM (Requires Air Raid, Flight, Physical Proficiency)
While flying, Dante winds up and launches himself forward like a torpedo, spinning rapidly and crackling with red electricity. He can fly up to 10 meters at a time in one direction with this ability, flying at slightly below his natural top speed. Repeated use of this ability can tire out Dante and his exhaust his ability to fly.
The question: When using Flight, is it still possible to retain your full SPD? The description says that "the speed of Flight is based on your SPD," but it doesn't explain if it is fully proportional or not. I feel like this is a silly thing to try and confirm, but I want clarification anyway so I can not make a fool of myself.
Sky Star - I'm confused, are you asking for an additional jump on top of the double jump included in Super Jumping (essentially a triple jump)? Or are you asking if you need a move to double jump if you've bought the power? If it's the latter, you don't need an additional move but you're free to make a fodder move if you want.
Air Raid - If it's just your representation of flying and you don't intend to attack/block with those wings, you're fine at making it RP flavor for Flight.
Vortex - Unless I'm overruled, I'm going to say that the max speed of your flight would be the same as if you were sprinting at full speed, and equally tiring. That said, you probably wouldn't need a move to temporarily fly at max speed as that's kinda baked-in to how speed works. No one moves at their max speed ALL the time. If, however, you wanted to momentarily exceed your max speed, you'd need Burst Movement or Super Speed and if the sparks are to do damage or something, you'd need to pay for it.
Sky Star, as a move, would create a single surface at any time that Dante could double jump off of. Even in a place like the Nexus, practically devoid of vertical surfaces, Dante could still perform a double jump as long as he had this move. Obviously, the limits are that Dante can only use this move once per jump, essentially.
I figured as much for Air Raid.
Vortex is built as a sort of damaging attack, since Dante is launching himself like a torpedo but not moving higher than his normal top speed (considering his SPD stat). I just wanted to know if ground speed translated 1:1 to flying speed. Of course, I understand that if I wanted to move temporarily faster, I would use Burst Movement/Super Speed in the move.
