If I recall correctly, it never was.
Rather, it was extrapolated that since he spun his hammer at multiples of C, he must also be able to move his arm at multiples of C, therefore, he is capable of punching at multiples of C.
But we know how extrapolation goes.

But wouldn't the mechanical advantage provided by the handle of the hammer explain that?

and yet that never helped against Hulk, Hercules, Thing, Namor, etc.Thor himself isn't a speedster, he has even been speedblitzed by Spider-Man.

Iron-Man's speed >>>>>> Sasquatch speed/Spider-Man
Thor's speed > Iron-Man's

*scratches his head* and that proved what?
Northstar combat speed > Iron Man
Thor hit Iron Man's repulsar ray back at him [with the hammer he can't use here]. That doesn't prove combat speed he is faster as he just stood there and did it.

Interesting durability feat from Exiles Sasquatch who was said to be weaker then 616 Sasquatch actually takes blasts from Dr.Doom, Iron Man and a hammer throw from Thor and still sands and continues on fighting

No, It proved Thor's able to counter and deflect a speedblitz by a character who's much faster than Sasquatch. If he's fast enough to counter a speedblitz, he's fast enough to deal with Sasquatch.
It wasn't a repulsar ray, it was Iron-Man himself. Look at the scans again.
Considering the characters in this thread aren't exiles characters, the scans are irrelevant.
Dreamcatcher, I hate to break it to you, but that scan really isn't evidence of Thor's immunity to a speedblitz.
A good baseball player could hit a fastball coming at him at 100+ miles per hour.
Doesn't mean he'd be able to tag one that's dancing around him at that speed.
Not saying that Sasquatch could speedblitz by any means - don't get me wrong.
Just that Iron Man getting hit when rushing STRAIGHT at Thor isn't the same thing as...say...Spiderman bouncing around Thor.

I understand that. I actually use the scan for the WW, Superman threads for those who love to scream "speedblitz ftw". They have no evidence supporting WW or Superman blitzing at ftl apeeds or any faster than Iron-Man was going in the scan so I kinda use it for those instances.
In this case I used it to display Thor's reaction speed.

Meh! Like I mentioned earlier Sasquatch has caught a flying and pissed off Northstar with ease and dodged Guardian's blasts. I don't think he could speedblitz Thor because of that.

Again, it wasn't a blast. It was a speedblitz.
Northstar > Iron Man (speed)
Sooooo point?

Never in my post does it insinuate Thor would speedblitz sasquatch. Only that because he's shown capable of countering a speedblitz by a fairly speedy character, he can easily deal with Sasquatch speed.

Like I said, Thor can react to a Mach X (however fast Iron Man was going in that instance, I kinda doubt it was his 'top speed' - and even then it wouldn't be nearly what Superman/Wonder Woman/Et cetera are capable of) fastball, but that doesn't mean he could necessarily react to a C fastball, nor does it mean he could react to a Mach X gymnast bouncing around him. Naw-meen?

Yet your example is with a character inferior to who Sasquatch has countered. So I don't see the point that he can easily deal with Sasquatch speed as people earlier were claiming Thor is faster then Sasquatch all together. Do I think Sasquatch is faster? No. Do I think Thor is faster? Not really, their pretty similar in combat speed and that was my point.

Which is exactly my point. It's obvious Iron-Man is slower than Superman and WW, but have the duo's travel speed ever been translated to a blitz? To my knowledge, No. Just as the scan provided shows, all we know is that they go fast when they blitz because the speed of blitzes are never directly defined in comics. It's left up to reader interpretation.
I understand what your saying. However I do feel the scan should answer any questions about Thor's speed when compared to Sasquatch.

Yes, and Sasquatch caught him in mid-air

EDIT: As it stands? why, because you used scans of an unquantifed speed that Iron Man used? Errrr?

BTW. Thor's reaction times are superior to Sasquatches.

I'm sorry, but I don't see Northstar directly blitzing Sasquatch. In Fact, was Northstar even aiming to attack Sasquatch?
