Quote:Whatever else it does, though, it definitely increases Doug's strength, speed, and reflexes to well beyond his normal levels.Well, remember that "combat hyping" is really just a time-perception thing I came up with to explain the speed at which things happen during combat time in V&V. Doug doesn't actually gain anything, he just perceives everything as moving a lot slower than him for the duration.
That said, definitely some possibilities there.
