[@Fallenreaper] That clarifies something for me. 

However, I believe that 2 seconds is far too long. Heck, 1 second is far too long for where they are currently at.

From the time Trixi starts the charge it is easily less than half a second, probably less than .25 a second based on the pure speed that characters at this tier can achieve before it would make contact. Unless you are implying she slows her attack down? Which I don't think is the case.

Nicoli's own attack with his dagger, including his increased speed, would easily be faster than the jab of a world class boxer. You blink and you miss it.

Also, while I am not doubting Trixi's speed I believe you may have made an error when you said that the damp surface would help her movement and speed. I would think it would be the contrary. Because you did say 'push back' you are implying that you are directing force on that foot to drive her away. Ever try applying force to a slick surface? You're liable to slip. (I know you clarified above that you meant 'pull', but push and pull are very different and I'm going by what was in the post.)

I'm not saying I want her to slip or anything. I'm just not seeing how it could make her faster, I don't see physics working that way. At most I can see how friction wouldn't play much of a part if she's sliding that foot back on said slick surface. Which, I believe, her movement would still take longer to move into position while dropping to a knee than it would for Nicoli's own darting attack.

That's just how I am reading it. Not trying to be extremely picky, but I don't like to give leeway during ranked matches and if you see somewhere where I obviously messed up than please do let me know.

Edit: Throwing a tag for [@Drifting Pollen] in here so she can track.
