Hey wait a second! Is 4x speed really 2x, and 2x speed, 1x?

So, I was running an arena match today at 4x speed and switched it to 1x for fun (waste time on the clock). Then I noticed Vader do a matrix inspired slow speed jump at my biggs. Hey! This looks like half speed!

Then 2x looked like regular 1x speed, and 4x looked like 2x. A bug maybe? My phone glitching? Or devs pulling the wool over everyones eyes pretending we had 4x speed?

    Maybe 1x is the speed it used to be a long time ago for non gw battles. There used to be normal speed, gw speed, and auto speed

    I think it's this. 1x speed is the speed arena battles and LS battles and cantina battles used to move at. GW battles always had slightly faster animations than the rest of the game. Either that or 1x just looks sooooo slow after getting used to 4x.
  • Yup I noticed the same thing. 1x is a crawl that didn't exist before as the normal speed. Not sure what the point of it is - maybe to be able to see damage inflicted by your toons more easily?

    They probably couldn't fit "Damage Screenshot Speed" into the little circle

    Haha!
  • You guys make me lol. You all just have become so accustomed to 4x speed that 1x just appears to be abnormally slow. Just your mind playing tricks on itself. 1x is the same speed it's always been.

    Just go to YouTube and watch any old video that isn't sped up. The characters move at a snail's pace.

    No way. Ill bet you my roster. Vader's jump looked like the matrix. It looked like myth busters' high speed camera. It looked like Gary the snail was having a slow day. If I had video, youd see!
  • Ea again has lied to us... They can't be honest about anything... Yes speed 4X is really 2X and speed 1X is half normal speed.

    Why do they have to misrepresented absolutely everything.

    I prefer recording new footage and comparing to my old stuff. That way I know the speeds of everything. Same characters using same abilities.

    Looked at youtube, was a lot slower than the youtube videos at regular speed.

    LMAO This is the best comment so far, 10/10.... BTW I thought I was the only who thought the 4x speed was going slower than usual.
  • I've watched gameplay before the QOL update and I've noticed the x1 speed IS slower than pre-QoL patched normal speed.

    It really reminds me of DC Legends, it has had the speed up feature before it was added to swgoh and once you set it to the faster speed you really can't go back. Try watching youtube videos at a faster speed if you get a chance to

    Honestly I watch a lot of youtube videos at 1.25 or 1.5 speed. You can usually still understand any words being said and its just less time haha.

    It seeme like my game seems slower than the 1x speed we're seeing in that video after the QOL update.
