Bullet Timing

Simple question. Is bullet timing considered a respectable feat when deternining combat speed, or should we discard it.

*strictly bullet timing feats...no aim dodging, precog etc

It's not really an impressive feat since 80% of the street level characters do it at least once. If we're talking about a fairly realistic setting (like TWD for example), then it's an insanely impressive feat, but if we're talking about a world with comic book physics (like Marvel or DC) then it's just kind of "meh, what else can you do?"

Also depends on the characters.

If Alfred or Jarvis did it, it's insane.

^^^...and this, combined, are pretty spot on.
On average, its a feat most anyone (street level) who puts on a mask should have.
NOT having it is more an indicator that the character isnt really up to snuff at the hero game:

The above was kinda played for (morbid) laughs, but it showed that even in comics, it takes more than being physically fit/having a gimmick to be a hero.
Bullet time for street levelers is an average ability, one thats needed, really.

He felt the effects (comics wise). He was later shown working out, thinking how the injuries had slowed him down.

But yeah, street levelers are, i think, supposed to dodge bullets, depending on plot.

It was a special bullet; had Midas' blood in it.

IOW, anything it touched would be turned into gold.

No they can't. Mostly metas and above can. Very few humans could, but even that's rare for them.

Anyway, it's common sense that anyone that can see a bullet in the air and react can also do so much, but far easier, to a moving fist or foot.

Might sound silly but I presume this would count right?

I guess this counts.

I'd say it is valid to determine say combat speed and in a way reaction speed. Though I don't think all characters necessarily take to it quite well. If a low grade character does it it's not like they always run around doing that. Neither do all heralds, trans, skyfathers etc etc.
