furthermore, i think you're somewhat missing my point where zoom being ahead of normal time is concerned. i mean, if zoom exists ahead of the timeline surfer is in, there is no possible way surfer could compensate with his abilities, because they all operate within the normal timestream [which, again, zoom is ahead of.]
By "regular" im sure u know i didnt mean equivalent to that of a human as i know his are much faster. I was referring to the basic means of perception (i.e vision) being the same. Now i know how fast Zoom is but given surfers mental processing and perception speed its within reason for him to be able to set up a forcefield before he gets koed. As i mentioned he doesnt need to actually see Zoom because of his cosmic perceptions and he will be mentally reacting to him rather than physically. These are two advantages wally didnt have. Moreover his extremely high durability also makes it that it will take a longer time to ko him which gives him more time to throw up the forcefield.
Also in regards to the actual speed of surfers perception/mental ability, In the scan i showed to indicate surfers perceptions, He was so fast that billions and billions of stars were racing past him. Considering that stars are usually light years apart. Surfer was going in far excess of billions of times the speed of light. He was able to perceive each and every one of these stars, note their positions and then use those positions to calculate his position in the universe. Its also notable that these stars appeared only as sparks of light to him due to his speed and so he would have viewed them only for a very miniscule amount of yet he was still able to rapidly and simultaneously perform complex mental actions based on his viewing of them. Its already an insane perception feat for him to be able to focus on each of these billions of stars at that speed (albeit for a miniscule amount of time), but its even more insane because of the complex calculations he is able to perform after such insignificant glances.
I dont think Zoom or Wally were moving anywhere near billions of time the speed of light when fighting after wally had been amped with jesse quicks speed (wally could fully perceive him when amped to that level of speed). The best calculations ive seen put them at 20,000 times light speed and surfer has shown to perceive things in excess of such speeds.
Now in regards to Zoom operating ahead of the timestream, his fight with wally actually showed that given enough speed (whether perception or movement,) Zooms abilities could be nearly matched.Note that as wally became faster, he began to perceive Zoom better until he got up to the point where he could fully perceive him and react to him physically (to some extent that is)
