Hunters have the Strongest Ankles

Hunters by far have the strongest ankles. Titans and Warlocks slow down during their jump when they are falling at terminal velocity in destiny. Hunters? Not so much. Hunters' ankles are so strong that they instantly (about .001s assumed for calculation) redirect the entire force behind their fall into upward momentum. If we assume terminal velocity is 53 m/s (it is only on earth, but I don't feel like doing the calculation more than once) and a duration of 0.001 seconds to complete the jump animation, hunters accelerate at a ridiculous 53000 m/s^2! Alone, that number may not look like much. But let's turn that into a force. Let's say the average male Hunter weighs 65kg. His gear could be anywhere from 20-40kg, so let's make it easy and round the whole thing to 100kg for Hunter+full load out of armor and weapons.(It could be much higher than this, if you were using a rocket launcher with full ammo, a NLB, and a sniper rifle, as this would be the heaviest load out possible.) if force is equal to mass times acceleration, on a single jump out of terminal velocity a hunter generates 5.3million newtons of force! It only takes 2000-4000 to break a human ankle. For the sake of brevity I will stop here, but this force is purely stopping their downward momentum. Redirecting it and actually going up would require an absolute metric shit ton more. You would have to account for the speed at which a hunter would need to hit the particles in the air for them to act as a solid to jump off of, and also account for the speed with which a hunter is jumping to get the final amount of force exerted on a hunter's ankles. Conclusion: Hunters have the strongest ankles by far, and although you don't want to mess with a Titan's knees, a Hunter's ankles would actually rend your skin, muscle, and fat from your bones while powdering said bones in the process.

    • Their ankles are so strong because they always grab them right before they bend over, and kiss their ass goodbye!

        • Yet falling on a rock three feet below still kills a hunter. Your logic doesn't mean squat.

            • But hunters don't use the force of their legs to double jump. They're using light/space magic for that. They're only using their physical body for the first jump when already on the ground.

              • Real quick, space magic belongs to the warlocks. Like I remember titans are tanks, hunters have cloaks, and warlocks have space magic. In fact, hunters are the least magical of the three classes. You can't substitute them ankles

Conclusion: Hunters have the strongest ankles by far, and although you don't want to mess with a Titan's knees, a Hunter's ankles would actually rend your skin, muscle, and fat from your bones while powdering said bones in the process.[/quote] There's a major problem with your calculations; you're assuming every jump that Hunters do will reach terminal velocity. Terminal velocity isn't the speed you fall at during free fall, it's the maximum speed that [i]can[/i] be reached once air resistance has sufficiently counteracted downward acceleration due to gravity. 99% of the speed of Terminal Velocity is reached after [i]15 seconds[/i] of free fall; perhaps the only time this actually happens in-game is the entrance to Crota's thrall maze, and even then you land in a puddle of mysterious Hive goo to soften your fall. Another thing: seriously? 0.001 seconds to complete the jump animation? You live in a different sense of time than me, the animation takes something more like 1/3 (0.333) seconds to complete at its minimum. Considering that at its prime Destiny runs at 60 frames per second, the shortest amount of time that information could be displayed on the screen is for one frame, or 0.01666 seconds, which is larger than your number that you calculated with by greater than a multiple of 15, not to mention that the jump animation is significantly longer than a single frame. Are Hunter's ankles still unrealistically strong? Yes, but not to the degree of the astronomical numbers that you came up with. TL;DR the original poster has his numbers off by a lot, which discredits his claim. Despite this, he is right in that Hunters have inhumanly strong ankles.
