    Default Xiao Feng: has he the ghostly velocity of Dongfang Bubai

    Previously, we discussed flashes of DFBB-like speed performed by Xiao Feng: http://www.spcnet.tv/forums/showpost...1&postcount=25

    The above example shows Xiao Feng's DFBB-like attacking velocity. The way he dashed & attacked Evil #3 while holding Duan Zhengchun, is unbelievably fast. He also had no intention of killing Evil #3, or else Divine Croc might have been a goner. This is similar to DFBB's single-stance execution of the Master of Thundering Wind Hall - Tong Baixiong. Again, Xiao Feng had no intention of executing Evil #3, but he shows similar capability as DFBB.

    There is another instance in the same chapter where Xiao Feng demonstrated DFBB-calibre evasive mobility:

    段延庆心思机敏,不等萧峰放下段正淳,右手铁棒便如狂风暴雨般递出,一棒又一棒,尽是点向段正淳的要害。他 决意除去这个挡在他皇位之前的障碍,至于如何对付萧峰,那是下一步的事了。 萧峰提着段正淳左一闪,右一躲,在棒影的夹缝中一一避过。段延庆连出二十七棒,始终没带到段正淳的一片衣角 。

    Duan Yanqing was trying his absolute hardest to kill Duan Zhengchun, but after 27 moves, he could not even touch the edge of Duan Zhengchun's shirt. Duan Zhengchun was, of course, being carried by Xiao Feng, who evaded all of Duan Yanqing's attacks.

    This is similar to DFBB's evasion of the combined assaults from Xiang, Ren, and Linghu.

    DFBB's advantages were:
    -He wanted to fight back, whereas Xiao Feng did not have any intention to fight back. He just wanted to prevent Duan Zhengchun from being killed.

    -He didn't have to hold another person while evading the attacks.

    Xiao Feng's advantages were:
    -He only had to deal with one person's assaults, whereas DFBB needed to deal with the combined assaults from 3 experts.

    It's interesting to me because it shows that Xiao Feng can attack AND evade assaults similar to DFBB. As for the calibre of fighters they dealt with... In the first example, Evil #3 is probably not much inferior to Tong Baixiong (just my guess). In the second example, Duan Yanqing is obviously no match for the combined forces of 3 SPW experts; however, we have to keep in mind that Xiao Feng had the disadvantage in both cases of occupying one of his hands with another person, AND not intending to kill.

    the main point of sunflower manual/bixie jianfa is it has a special type of inner power style that allows you to speed up your movements even if you only have low level of inner power cultivated. usually it takes a high level of inner power to reach the same speed. YTZ did not have great skills but because of his inner power, he had incredible speed and power. so if you have reached great level inner power, you should be capable of DFBB level speed. but because DFBB had a high level of inner power as well as his special qigong technique, he could move maybe a bit faster then the greats for a longer time as his qinggong technique should be power conservative compard to the greats techniques. his speed technique should be on par with green bat king from HSDS. in SPW, LHC was able to run around and cut off the hengshan nuns because he had a high level inner strenght, even through his lightskill technique was inferior. sunflower qinggong should be like DGSD's LBWW. extreme speed with energy efficient usage.

    XF probably isn't physically as fast as DFBB. If he really were that fast, JY would have emphasized that point more often.

    XF's reflexes were amazing fast though. I"m still amazed that he was able to fend off Ah Zhi's sneak attack.

    the greats should be capable of the same speed but it should be inner power exhausting. they may not be capable of keeping up with DFBB's speed for to long.

    Here is another person who made an impression with his speed:

    那大头矮子一怔,一声大喝,突然砰的一声响,火光一暗,那矮子已
    然不知去向。众人齐吃一惊,见大门已然撞穿,原来那矮子竟是破门
    而出。撞破门板不奇,奇在一撞即穿,此人跟着一撞之势而出。

    Translation by IcyFox:
    That big headed dwarf got shocked, made a loud noise and a “Peng” sound was heard, the flame became dark and that dwarf disappeared without a trace. The numerous people got startled, saw the front door had a large hole, made by the dwarf when he exited. Breaking down a door was not unheard of, but this person dashing through a door was really uncommon. (Something like the Roadrunner dashing through the wall in those Warner Brothers’ cartoons, if you don’t get the idea.)

    When I read that, images of the Big Headed Dwarf taking off on a rocket launcher is what came to mind. Although IcyFox's mention of Roadrunner is cute

    Talking about speed, I wonder if DFBB is able to prick his needle on Duan Yu with LBWB.

    Closest narration on their speed. Taken from Qiqi so I am not sure which editions they are from.



    萧峰这一拳来得好快,掌击丁春秋,斜劈慕容复,拳打游坦之,虽说有先后之分,但三招接连而施,快如电闪


    东方不败出手实在太过迅捷,如电闪,如雷轰,事先又无半分征兆,委实可怖可畏。
    Its BIxie Jianfa Gawdammit you guys!!!!
