Warp Speed

"Warp Speed, engage!"

- Grim Blitzrow

is one of the Dirty Tricks the players can use in Mutant Football League. Warp speed makes the selected player move extremely fast. This dirty trick can be used on offense or defense depending on the team. On offense, the play is a handoff to the running back. Once the running back receives the ball, he will go very fast for a limited period of time. If the dirty trick is a defensive dirty trick, it is a blitz play with a Blitzer getting the speed up.

Offense

 * Galaxy Chaos
 * Insane Cults
 * New Yuck Tyrants
 * Tokyo Terminators

Defense
The catch with Warp Speed is that the effect stops if the sped-up player encounters an obstacle. The player must have an open field to achieve his aim (a big gain or touchdown if on offense, a sack if on defense). Furthermore, the physics involved mean that if an opposition player hits a player in Warp Speed, there's a significant risk of a kill (which for an offensive Warp Speed will mean a Fumble).
 * Cardinal Sins
 * Deadlanta Vultures
 * Grim Bay Attackers
 * Motor City Maniacs

Abilities
Both versions of the Dirty Trick give the controlled player ridiculously fast speed.

Offense
Use Thunderclap or Hot Potato to take out the ballcarrier. However, Thunderclap would give the defense and advantage and more room to recover the ball. Strawberry Fields which reverses the controls, is also a great counter.

Defense
Think fast when throwing a pass. If you're running the ball, you'll get tackled easily unless you have Beast Boost or Roid Rage.

Penalties
There are no penalties for using Warp Speed.

Offense
Description from the Official Game Manual:

This is a run play. When the running back receives the pitch from the quarterback he will explode in a blaze of speed. This is a high percentage scoring play, but if the ballcarrier comes into contact with anything while in Warp Speed mode he will be instantly stopped. Warp Speed lasts for a limited amount of time.

Defense
Description from the Official Game Manual:

Gives the user-controlled defender Warp Speed which is good for a quick sack or an amazing punt return. If the Warp Speed players comes into contact with anything he will be instantly stopped and lose the effect. Warp Speed lasts for a limited amount of time.
