In mine it's expresed with either "..." At the end, with a line on top like the other guy, with "(" But tilted 90 to de side and on top of the number or a "chinese hat" type of thing (like ^ but instead of being a 45° angle its more like a 120° one) on top of the number :)
If anyone was wondering why (took my dense ass quite a while to realize) it's so that the highest amount of spikes the icon can jump over always increases by one.
I.e. 2 spikes at half speed, 3 spikes at normal speed, 4 at double, etc.
However, because RobTop just hates all of us, it's not actually exactly those numbers. For instance, half speed is a bit faster than 0.66 and quadruple speed is a bit slower than a direct doubling of normal speed. This is all not to mention that normal speed is ALMOST 10 editor tiles per second, but just a weird little margin over that.
All of this makes any sort of precise calculation tending to Geometry Dash's speed a living hell.
I’m pretty sure it’s actually 0.777…x, 1x, 1.333…x, 1.555…x, and 1.777…x.
I feel like I heard this from one of GD Cologne’s fun fact video, but take it with a grain of salt because I really don’t remember.
That's not hard, on normal speed your jump is 3 spikes long, on slow speed your jump is 2 spikes long so it's ⅔ speed, on second speed your jump is 4 spikes long and 4-3=1 so it means that is 1⅓ speed, etc
the time between cube jumps remains (almost) constant throughout the speeds, which would not be true if we change the time. it is a speed portal, not a time one.
It’s a music theory thing, in which "half time / double time" very much represents speed. I’m surprised no one got this, since so many people here are musicians
Who the hell says ‘double time’ or ‘quadruple time’? “yo the part with the 3x speed portal is coming up” sounds way better than “yo the part with the triple time portal is coming up”
Thick and yellow 1 left arrow speed portal, thin and blue 1 right arrow speed portal, thin green 2 right arrow speed portal, thin and pink 3 right arrow speed portal, think and red 4 right arrow speed portal
Half speed (or 0.5 x speed), 1 x speed, 2 x speed, 3 x speed, 4 x speed
I know that’s probably not what the actual speeds themselves are by that’s just what I get from the symbol
The way your friend refers to them sounds more natural. As an aside, those aren't the portals' actual speeds - the speed changes are actually much less than the names imply. But I still like using those names for convenience.
Slow speed, normal speed, two speed, three speed, four speed (no need for the word times, you know what i mean if I say two speed, and two speed isn't even double the normal speed anyway so that's misleading two new players to say two times speed)
half speed, normal speed, 2x, 3x, 4x
This is the only correct way
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
he kno da wae
He is out of line but he is right.
Who tf says "half time" this ain't American football
it’s actually a musical term, for whenever a time signature written as a fraction equals 1/2.
Oh Well that's good to know
and conversely, double time is when the time signature written as a fraction equals 2
I've never said half time or double time in music, who tf taught you
Makes no sense in the context of gd
this is the only way, the only waaaaaay
Yeah, this is the only way.
its a rain refference rain is a top 20 (i think) ILL level and the song has lyrics listen it, you will get the joke
🎶... but in the end🎵... it has to be this waaaaaay🎶
![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
:O
How I say it too👍🏼
this is the way of the lord
Same
literally
Same but with double speed, triple speed and quadruple speed
I call them Slow, normal , fast, fast ,fast
Slower, Slow, Fast, Faster, Fastest
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger
more than ever hour after hour work is never over
what
daft punk song
Slow, normal, fast, fast fast, fast fast fast
Double triple quad
Aw hell nah ![gif](giphy|xUPJPzcdlbvaFUrF7y)
these are speed portals, not timewarp triggers
This. Time triggers are in 2.2
OP is using music terminology.
⅔speed, 1speed, 1⅓speed, 1⅔speed, 2speed
0.666 speed, 1 speed, 1.333 speed, 1.666 speed, 2 speed?
Well 🤓 actually correct way to type this is 1.(3) 1.(6) etc
You’re correct. Infinite decimal.
Isnt it 0.3̅, 1, 1.3̅, 1.6̅, 2
I think a dot on top of the repeating numbers should be more correct
Dot and line both represent infinite decimal
OK :D
A line is only used when multiple digits are recurring, but a dot is for one digit.
Depends on the country
In mine it's expresed with either "..." At the end, with a line on top like the other guy, with "(" But tilted 90 to de side and on top of the number or a "chinese hat" type of thing (like ^ but instead of being a 45° angle its more like a 120° one) on top of the number :)
Me, an American learning about all this for the first time:
Ohhhh
Yes that's correct
And 1.(9)
…Means 1.999999999999…
Means 2.
These are the actual speed increments, the 2x portal makes the cube go 1.333 speed for example.

I’m pretty sure it’s actually 0.777…x, 1x, 1.333…x, 1.555…x, and 1.777…x. I feel like I heard this from one of GD Cologne’s fun fact video, but take it with a grain of salt because I really don’t remember.
It's 0,7 for half speed, 0,9 for normal and 1,9-ish for quadruple speed according to robtop
If 0.9x is normal, then what is 1x? The fact that “normal” speed isn’t the default 1x is so cursed.
While those may be correct, they're really difficult to say and remember so I still refer to them according to the number of arrows.
That's not hard, on normal speed your jump is 3 spikes long, on slow speed your jump is 2 spikes long so it's ⅔ speed, on second speed your jump is 4 spikes long and 4-3=1 so it means that is 1⅓ speed, etc
This is actually nearly correct
your friend is right
I jus think saying half time portal is easier than saying zero point five times portal
it’s the word “time” that’s the weird thing
*point five is right there*
It’s a music theory thing
I'd say just point five
"Point five" is easier to say Edit: this has been said twice already, i forgot to read. Whoops
so you can say わすれた
Half speed is easier
and that’s why point five exists
I pronounce it ecks
half speed, normal speed, 2x speed, 3x speed 4x speed
Same here tbh
the time between cube jumps remains (almost) constant throughout the speeds, which would not be true if we change the time. it is a speed portal, not a time one.
It’s a music theory thing, in which "half time / double time" very much represents speed. I’m surprised no one got this, since so many people here are musicians
You have problems calling it times.
your friend is right
who even calls it half time like bro this isn't osu
(not actually) slowgrandpa, average joe, lil child, marathon runner, your mom coming to your room to see what you broke
Bro this is so corny😭😭😭
im gonna touch you
Ok.... what the flip.
I’ll touch you too
0.5x speed, 1x speed, 2x speed, 3x speed, and 4x speed or when you're talking you go "4 times speed"
I call them: Slow, normal, 2x, 3x, 4x
I say half times, one times, two times, three times and four times portals
Half and one times shouldn't be plural but yes
???
Bro is an osu player lmao Nah but I call em slow, normal, x2 x3 and x4
Speed portals: 1x 2x 3x 4x and slow speed portal

I don't understand
the only objective answer: lento, moderato, allegro, presto and prestissimo respectively
Based and fellow classical musician spotted pilled
The only correct answer
0.807x speed, 1x speed, 1.243x speed, 1.502x speed, and 1.849x speed.
I call them all speed portals 🤷🏻♂️
Half speed portal, normal speed portal, double speed portal, triple speed portal, and quadruple speed portal.
bro is dt farming
-1 1 2 3 4
Agreed
-1x speed portal, 1x speed portal, 2x speed portal, 3x speed portal, 4x speed portal
Wouldn't -1 be the reverse orbs?
Half speed, normal speed, 2 times speed, 3 times speed, 4 times speed.
Negative speed 1x speed 2x speed 3x speed 4x speed
slow speed, normal speed, 2x speed, 3x speed, 4x speed. anyone who calls them "portals" are maniacs.
Slow, normal, fast, faster, fastest
Slow speed, normal speed, green speed, pink speed and red speed (no judging)
That’s simple
Slow speed normal speed the green speed the pink speed fastest speed
I call them: half speed, normal speed, double speed, triple speed and a random of 4x speed or quadruple speed
.5 speed, 1x speed, 2x speed, 3x speed, 4x speed
Slow, normal, quite fast, very fast, extremely fast (that blue one is no longer called medium)
"Quite fast mini wave" lol
Sounds weird
🤣
Slow speed, normal speed, double speed, 3x speed, 4x speed
I think the irony is none of those are right, since they don't increase your speed by that amount.
Ok nerd
Who the hell says ‘double time’ or ‘quadruple time’? “yo the part with the 3x speed portal is coming up” sounds way better than “yo the part with the triple time portal is coming up”
Isnt it literally the same thing except one is numerical and other is by words?
Yellow, blue, green, pink, red
Thick and yellow 1 left arrow speed portal, thin and blue 1 right arrow speed portal, thin green 2 right arrow speed portal, thin and pink 3 right arrow speed portal, think and red 4 right arrow speed portal
The first thing I would say if I didn't get the chance to be fancy would be slow speed, one speed, two speed, three speed, four speed.
Slow , normal , 2x , 3x , 4x
I say half, 1, green, 3, 4 ye idk why
slow speed, normal speed, 2x speed, 3x speed, 4x speed
half x, 1x, double speed, triple speed, 4x
Your friend is right
So am I the only one calling them yellow/blue/green/pink/red speed arrows/portals ???
3x speed portal
Play Electrodynamix
Half speed (or 0.5 x speed), 1 x speed, 2 x speed, 3 x speed, 4 x speed I know that’s probably not what the actual speeds themselves are by that’s just what I get from the symbol
friend is right
Slow, normal, fast, nyoom, and holy shit.
Slow speed, normal speed, double speed, triple speed, quadruple speed
Half Speed, Normal Speed, 2x Speed, 3x Speed, and 4x Speed
Slow speed, normal speed, double speed, triple speed, 4x speed
I do the same as your friend, but I like your pattern of thinking too
Half speed, normal speed or 1 time speed, two times speed, three times speed, four times speed
[blank] times speed. Never understood why people call them portals
Half speed, normal speed, 2x, 3x, and 4x Sometimes I’ll say slow speed instead of half speed too
.5, 1, 2, 3, 4
Point 5, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x
Half speed, normal speed, double speed, triple speed, quad speed
1/2 Speed, 1 speed, 2 speed, 3 speed, and 4 speed portals
The way your friend refers to them sounds more natural. As an aside, those aren't the portals' actual speeds - the speed changes are actually much less than the names imply. But I still like using those names for convenience.
Yeah I think the real speeds are 0.8x, 1x, 1.3x 1.5x and 1.8x just so that the game is reasonably playable bc a 4x speed boost would be impossible
Walk, Bike, Bus, Car and Racecar is what I would alternately call them
Sir(or Maam, or chair) what kind of breed are you?
Im actually a goat on a farm in Zimbabwe I just found a computer out in the wild
It doesn't slow down time, it just makes you faster. So your friend is right
half speed, normal speed, 2x, triple speed, 4x
Why time? The variable changed is speed
Calling them time portals should be a crime
"Speed Portals"
Slow Speed Normal Speed 2 times Speed 3 times Speed 4 times Speed
Booster pads
I'm korean lel 반배속 1배속 2배속 3배속 4배속 Which translates to Half speed, 1x speed, 2x speed and so on. In english I usually do Half, regular, 2x, 3x, 4x
While Partition & Mulpan are confirmed Korean, two other massively Korean communities include ADOFAI and Cookie Run ![gif](giphy|xghFgmOKbk0G4)
Half, normal, 2x, 3x, 4x
Half speed, normal speed, double speed, triple speed, quadruple speed Or alternatively... Yellow speed portal, blue speed portal, green speed portal, pink speed portal, red speed portal
slow, normal, green, pink, quad
Orange speed, blue speed, green speed, pink speed, red speed
Half speed, two times speed, three times speed, four times speed
Noodles, Normal, Biceps, Triceps, Quads
Slow, normal, 2x speed, 3x speed and 4x speed
Yellow, blue, green, pink, red speed portal lmao
Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink and Red Speed Portal is the ultimate way to call these
Slow speed, normal speed, double speed, triple speed, quadruple speed
i call them all speed portals, no matter the speed.
half, normal, 2x, 3x, 4x.
Half speed, regular speed, 2x speed, 3x speed, 4x speed
I say half speed, normal speed, double speed, triple speed, quad speed
the speed arrows
Zzzzz, normal, fast, faster, holy shit
"half speed" "normal speed" "double speed" "triple speed" "quad speed"
This speed portal, this speed portal, this speed portal, this speed portal, and this speed portal
Half x speed portal, regular speed portal, two x speed portal, three x speed portal, four x speed portal.
.5 1 2 3 and 4
Slow , normal , double , triple , fast
0.5x speed is slow mode, 1x speed in normal, 2x speed is good speed, 3x speed is speedin', and 4x speed is fast mode
.\_.
Its bot actually time that slows down or speeds up. Its judt the speed your icon moves
slow, normal, fast, very fast, extremely fast
Yellow, blue, green, purple and red
half speed normal speed 2 times speed 3 times speed 4 times speed
here there gone and infinity and beyond
Half speed, normal speed, double speed, trispeed, and quadspeed
Your friend is right
half, normal, 2 times, virgin 4x, chad 4x
Slow speed, normal speed, two speed, three speed, four speed (no need for the word times, you know what i mean if I say two speed, and two speed isn't even double the normal speed anyway so that's misleading two new players to say two times speed)
half speed, 1x speed, 2x speed, 3x speed, 4x speed
Slow, Regular, 2 times speed, triple speed, 4 times speed
0.5 times speed portal, 1 times speed portal, etc.
