Aside from the amazing effects, I liked how EdgeRunners used it as s storytelling mechanic, due to how it slows down time, and seemingly affected by David's mental state, it forces him to focus in and soak every traumatic experience he goes through, which might be another factor that accelerated his cyberpsychosis.

@@umbrellaum and not just edgerunners, on Chivalry of Failed Knights, the protragonist could do similar stuff by allocating the brain resource to view color and focusing it to another task- like if he needs to go for speed, he just render his vision to monochromatic so that he can focus on the body motor task.

Fun Fact: In the original Cyberpunk 2020 Sandevistan "Speedware" exists alongside Kerenzikov "Boostware", which is pretty much the same except for a few major differences. Kerenzikov operates slower than Sandevistan, but is always active, and cannot be turned off.

For a moment David had become much MUCH faster than Adam could have expected, but after a while of using up that energy David had started to slow down to the point where Adam was able to finally activate his own Sandy and catch up. Or at least that’s what I’m suspecting as you can here the sound effects start slowing down just before Adam’s sandy kicks in

[@arcticflames6932]

David basically moved at around mach 3 to create 3 after images The funny thing is 2 of those images were killing guys While 1 was carrying lucy

[@unprankable666]

I love the way it was revealed for Adam to have one too. The Sandevistan was the pinnacle of David's kit. The one implant he relied on, the key to him winning most fights. It's hyped up as an incredibly powerful and unstable piece of equipment that can cause even the most skilled to eventually break. And then Adam Smasher comes in and calls it "rudimentary." Basic. Simple. No different from optics or muscles.

[@joshuab.3887]

I definitely think that David could more closely approach Adam's level of power if he had the time and experience to learn how to use his implants efficiently and understand how they would mesh together, in addition to finding out how to get mods for his cyberware that would help him stand up to Adam. Unfortunately, that was time he didn't have for a multitude of reasons. I think it ties in nicely with the theme of "don't burn yourself alive to keep others warm" that seems to show up in Edgerunners.
