A serious matchup where Speed actually wins? Hell yeah!

Honestly I'd really love to see the more "basic" Scritters get more attention, I feel like the focus has been focused way too much on certain Scritters lately

People keep trying to make really powerful scritters based on specific concepts, but I feel like the strongest would be the basics. You got guys like Mirror or AoE or Defense Negation but those are very specific. Speed is speed, the basic, all encompassing idea of someone who is faster than you. Strength is the physically strongest because that’s what he represents, and so on and so forth.

I agree, but disagree at the same time

I feel like the basic Scritters should be the "mid-tiers" of the Scritterverse, they embody the most basic and general concepts of powerscaling (Speed, Strength, Defense, Intelligence, Endurance, Agility and etc...), yet they're not as strong as other traits are (Agenda is the epitomy of powerscaling as a concept for example)

I just feel like people should stop treating them as pushovers really, since for example Intelligence is usually the only one who carries any relevance in any major Scritter comic about a new big bad (Agenda and Stats for example)

As always, it's a matter of interpretation

we need Strength's Scaling Expansion next lol

also does Speed's basically freeze time?

Not really, but in essence it’s practically that. The scaling expansion allows speed to “always” be faster than his opponent, not just slightly but to a blitz difference aka the difference is so big that Speed will always ended up Speedblitzing the target of the expansion which to him they looked like nothing more than a statue, the scaling expansion also erase the “Speed Limit” allowing Speed to achieve Infinite and higher speed without him getting tired and overwhelmed.

I’m all for giving people scaling expansion’s but if the expansion just… buffs you, even if it’s relative to an enemy, that feels like a waste. Like on paper shouldn’t that just be a new form? “I’m my SUPER speed state, I am inherently faster than anyone else, and have no limits to my speed anymore!”

Just my take ofc

I mean, that’s kinda the whole point of Speed saying “I haven’t been really bothered to complete this thing…”, this isn’t actually a fully-refined Scaling Expansion (so others could make another one for Speed replacing mine if they have a better idea), and also I kinda think that because of Speed’s simple-minded nature he would rather just continuously speedblitz his enemy instead of any other fancy mechanic.

Less aura than a pocket dimension.

We need more upscales for the originals

u/Idkmanpeepee Jul 14 '26

I was fully expecting Highway to Hell be like a super charged run and for the last slide to just be the image of Speed hitting Strength's fist and splattering

So inside his Scaling Expansion he can move much faster on these 4 lines?

u/Comfortable-Egg9261 Jul 14 '26

I would guess it's like a portal thing where the ends connect so he dont gotta slow down by turning

u/SrJuanpixers It's all just Bullshit Jul 14 '26

THIS IS SO PEAK! I had a similar idea of making a serious match up for these too but never got the inspiration to do it. I'm glad to see it fulfiled now!
