See but, that would still be using this suggestion. Think about it, if the slower characters have a smaller ki cost, then they will be able to travel the distance of fast characters. If it depended on the distance traveled, that would still mean the faster characters would run out of ki faster than the slower characters, making it so what you just suggested, is basically what I suggested.
And that right there should never happen. Why? Both Trunks and Gohan already ascend at very low pl's. To give them the advantage of using less ki when unascended and being able to ascend at low pl's isn't balance, MCC. You know this. You just want things to be convenient for you.
NGE's suggestion is not your suggestion. You want slower characters to use less ki. He wants ki usage to be determined by the distance you travel. In essence, traveling 10 feet wouldn't use nearly as much ki as swooping for the full 4 or 5 seconds. With your idea, the character would be using less ki regardless of how far the character traveled. You, sir, are attempting to unbalance characters.
Frieza is slow, but he has incredibly high hp and his lasers can do devastating damage. Lower ki usage = more lasers.
Again, Gohan and Trunks are slow but they ascend quickly, so theres no point in allowing them to use less ki.
Krillin is the fastest character in the game when he ascends. What? Too hard for you to ascend? Change the character.
Piccolo should be a hell of a lot faster, but I don't think thats going to be happening. Lower ki usage for him wouldn't aid him in anyway since he seems broken anyway.
So yeah, no reason at all for this to come to pass.
