User blog:Therefir/Makoto Naegi's Combat Speed

1000 punches thrown in 2 seconds. Sounds very impressive indeed, but how does this statement fare when properly analysed?

Makoto uses his 2 arms for the '1000 punches in 2 seconds' feat: this would enable the fighter to execute 250 punches per second.

Next, we scale the length of Makoto's arm:

Makoto's body height is 1.72 metres.

0.56 metres is thus the length of a single arm.

In throwing an effective punch, a human-shaped being would have swing back the arm to a distance equivalent to its own length before moving it foward. Thus, Makoto has to cross twice the distance of its arm length for each punch.

0.56*2 = 1.12 metres is the effective distance each arm travels for a punch.

1.12*250 = 280 m/s
