Optional Speed Change

[Netzilla]

The wording & example on HSR 233 (specifically "...until the next Segment which is a Phase for both of the of the SPDs.") have left some of us wondering.

 

Using the example (on Segment 2 a SPD 3 character is boosted to SPD 4), should this rule be interpreted as:

 

A) Both the old SPD score and the new SPD score have to have a common phase. Therefore the boosted character cannot act until Segment 12 (the only phase SPDs 3 & 4 have in common).

 

Both the old SPD score and the new SPD score have had the opportunity for a phase. Therefore the boosted character's next action is on Segment 4 (having already passed Seg 3 for SPD 4).

 

Thanks,

It means exactly what it says: the next Segment which is a Phase for both of the of the SPDs. Look at the SPD Chart, determine the next Segment in which both of those SPDs ordinarily have a Phase, and that's the one. In your example, it would be Segment 12.
