Introduction[]

Recalc of Gyarados and Golem's calc done from Cal, where I honestly find 2 problems in it:

  • The feat is only Golem's. No idea why Gyarados is said to have performed it when is used to just find the "distance" crossed from Solar Beam, that isn't even get throught angsizing, but from a line as they were at the same distance from the camera, which is obvioulsy false.
  • Pixel scaling there is, in all honesty, terrible. No offense, but I don't know why they didn't use the fullscreen.

That said, let's go.

Calculation[]

Feat is here.

Let's start that in the original calc it was assumed that Golem's spherical form is its full height which is just wrong.

Golem scale
  • Red line = Golem's full height = 725 px = 1.4 m
  • Yellow line = Golem's sphere height = 619 px = 1.195 m

I'll both angsize Solar Beam's final distance from the screen and how high its jump is:

  • Orange line = Screen Height = 764 px
  • Blue line = Golem's sphere height = 183 px = 1.195 m
  • Green line = Solar Beam's final width = 37 px = 0.24 m
  • Purple line = Golem's jump height = 267 px = 1.74 m
  • Distance between screen and Solar Beam's width on the ground = (0.24 * 764) / [37 * 2tan(70/2 deg)] = 3.54 m

Passing to Ninetales:

This time I'll use the height of a Ninetails which got its size amped x2 to get the width of Solar Beam from Ninetales, with the angsize as well.

  • Red line = Ninetales' height = 237 px = 1.1 m * 2 = 2.2 m
  • Green line = Solar Beam's starting width = 9 px = 0.083 m
  • Distance between Solar Beam and the screen = (0.083 * 764) / [9* 2tan(70/2 deg)] = 5.03 m

So, passing now to the feat, I'll assume that the distance between Golem and Solar Beam is of 1/4 of the total distance the latter crossed as it was really close to Golem before it jumped:

  • Total distance crossed from Solar Beam = 5.03 - 3.54 = 1.49 m
  • Distance between Golem and Solar Beam = 1.49 * 0.25 = 0.3725 m
  • Golem's jump speed = (299792458 * 1.74) / 0.3725 = 1.40037282e9 m/s
  • Speed in c = 1.40037282e9/ 299792458 = 4.67c (FTL)

EDIT

Game mechanics are a bitch, so I'll have to use full distance Solar Beam crossed instead, due of Golem having indeed dodged it, but it seems it was hit before doing so, forcing me to lowball.

  • Total distance crossed from Solar Beam = 5.03 - 3.54 = 1.49 m
  • Golem's jump speed = (299792458 * 1.74) / 1.49 = 350093206 m/s
  • Speed in c = 350093206 / 299792458 = 1.17c (FTL)

So still FTL. Pretty nice.
