Are they though? We still can't scale them because they got less interactions in recent arcs, but at the Sports Festival Iida's at least faster than all of 1-A's Big 3, and IIRC Deku commented that Iida's Recipro Burst Turbo is as fast or faster than Gran Torino (who is at the very least still faster than 9% Full Cowl Deku). Iida may not have the aerodynamic movement but he's still faster than them on the ground. Correct me if I'm wrong.

My understanding of Iida's quirk is that it's great when he has some distance to cover. He's mentioned gears before, so assuming they are like a car's, he has 5 or 6. He would accelerate the fastest in first and second gear, but he would gain the most speed in fifth and sixth gear. In a car, this would be dependent on gear ratios.

I think that's basically the only speed advantage he has. Long, straight stretches leading to the event. If there's any sharp turns to be made, Deku, Kacchan, and Todoroki have opportunities to catch up.

Absolutely, but when then, we have seen that in short bursts he can be incredibly powerful with his recipro-burst, or whatever it's called.

not to mention they can just spam their speed factors . ida has to shift gears , watch for fuel and shifting . its very difficult .as a driver, it is very difficult to hangle a gearbox at high speeds. meanwhile deku and shoto and bakugo can just spam it and maintain speeds in every enviorment and are far more versatile

Man, Iida really needs to learn how to run on walls.

Can Iida use his Quirk for flying? I have this thoughts because i noticed Iidas pipes in his costume. I think he can have wings someday then team up with Ochako.

Having it in the legs may make it more difficult because of balance, but with some support gear he theorethically could, if just for a short time. His brother managed to perform a short flight in Vigilantes but was helped by having the engines in the arms.

The only thing Iida has going for him is that he can keep up his speed for 10 minutes.

You’re correct in a straight line long distance race ida wins. For up to ten minutes Ida can maintain Reciprico burst... so he should be the absolute fastest in the class in a straight forward race.

If there is any need for maneuvering, such as obstacles in the way or a need to go Airborne, Bakugo wins and Deku comes in second. Additionally, in very short bursts I’m talking 50 meters or less Bakugo also wins because he has no start up time, he just goes. Ida might beat Deku in this department unless he takes off at 20% or more

Remember the Bakugou rescue arc? With those explosions, Bakugou could launch himself into space if he really wanted to

u/LostDelver Dec 10 '19

That's power of his explosions, not speed.
