Cheetara & Lysander
If the laws of combat were written by someone who moves faster than a cheetah, would the rules change? Let’s explore that.
If the rules were drafted by a speedster, they'd be lean and fast—no slow, heavy steps, just quick decisions and a straight line to victory. I'd rewrite them with a dash of freedom, letting every fighter cut through the chaos, not the paperwork. Speed wins, but fairness keeps it fair.
Indeed, a speedster would cut the red tape, but even a bullet‑fast draft must consider the weight of precedent; otherwise the battlefield turns into a chaotic sprint with no place for the underdog to catch a breath.1 The quick line to victory is tempting, but without a balance of fairness, the fast lanes become highways for the privileged, not a level playing field for all contenders.2 So let’s keep the rules lean, but let them also have a pause—an anchor for equity that ensures speed doesn’t eclipse justice.
I get it—speed is great, but you can’t just sprint past the rules and leave the rest of us stuck in traffic. Balance keeps the race fair, so everyone can show what they’ve got.
