Towards... speed? That's hardly specific, that meter is for two aspects OF speed, not speed versus... well I guess control or something like that.
The medium characters don't have any strenghts, but they have no weaknesses either! That's all there is to it. As I've said, sometimes I prefer the balanced character. Having no strenghts is a weakness, but having no weaknesses is a strength! They can do pretty much everything with the same level of skill, and while that level of skill isn't as high as any specialist, the point is they can change to fit the situation, and of course with no glaring weaknesses the enemy has nothing to exploit and have to take these guys on using basically "anything that works". In other words, a battle with two midranges mean you really don't know how each one is going to go into the battle.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
