People keep taking about the "speed meta" here on the forum and how some are manipulating speed.
So I am wondering, what are the fastest characters and how are people manipulating speed for turn meter and order of which characters attack when?
If you could explain this in simple terms for me I'd be ever so grateful.
Please bear with me. It takes me a while longer than some to catch up with the strategies and decipher the game lingo, since English is not my native language and I haven't really played these kinds of games besides this one.
Thanks!

Higher numbers in speed are faster.
Those are the baseline. Some leaders, like qui gon jin give a bonus speed to their faction. You can look these up on the same website.
Many characters modify their own turn meters, their teams, or the opposing teams turn meters either individually or as a whole. These are usually tied to a particular character ability. The turn meter reduction can be resisted too, as far as i know.
For example stormtrooper han gives a boost to his whole team when he's damaged while taunting.
Here in this thread the poster added the leadership bonusses to all heroes.
Pretty much. Each hero has a speed stat, the higher the stat the faster he will move. For example I have Dooku (161) and Yoda (151) in my team, Dooku will always move before Yoda in this set up. The turnmeter fills up again and at 161 speed for Dooku and 151 speed for Yoda, so Dooku will move before Yoda again.
However if we add Qui Gon Jinn as leader (+23 speed) Yoda (151+23) will move before Dooku (161)
Yes that's basically it. However, gear affects speed level of characters. So if you unlock, level and star sid he still won't be as fast as a Sid with maxed out gear.
You can see a character in your rosters current stats by clicking the bar graph below them.
You can see your opponent's character stats in arena by clicking and holding the character you want then click the bar graph.
I find it confusing. I thought that perhaps I was doing something wrong or just the combination of my team wasn't good. Now I understand that it's slow, except for Sid and maybe Daka. I still don't get how it works Sid vs Sid.
there is a good article about this stat that has been written up. the toons are on a system of speed at 1000 means they go then it gets -1000 and they go again when it hits 1000 . http://www.teaminstinct.net/speed-and-you-a-team-instinct-special/
Read the edit at the very top of the article. It is depreciated.
It still seems to be roughly accurate in my play of the game since december... 1000 makes sense with how the rounds go. also explains the weir ratios of the blue turn meter. explains the RNG with two guys that hit 1000 at the same "round." Which parts do you feel are inaccurate?? It helped me kinda understand.
Speed tiers no longer exist. Hence the new speed meta.
No point in promoting how things used to work.
You could have at least acknowledged it was out of date when you posted it... did you know? The authors did
It sounds like you have many questions here. You should probably start your own thread. I don't claim to have correct answers to all of your yes/no questions.
Is your sid fully geared? Gear 8? Gear 8 gives sid another +11 speed.
If your Sid and the opponents Sid are completely equal, it's a coinflip who'll go first.
Yes it is 50% change if two characters have the same speed.
Looks like it We tend to remember the bad luck and forget the good luck. Maybe you can keep track for 10-20 battles. I stopped using Poe vs other Poe teams because I really hate that coin flip.
