Even if it took the sentry a 1 min to say that sentence He travel to the sun in that time even if it took 5 mins that is still FTL
FYI it takes light 8 mins to reach the earth from the sun so unless Sentry took 8 mins to speak he went FTL
What people don't understand is speed is not important but rather both acceleration and reflexes are important instead.
Anyone that can fly can achieve any speed as long as they have the time to accelerate to that speed. That means a lowly character can achieve a billions times faster than light provided they accelerate to that speed under the sufficient time.
The true question is 'what speed and reflex ability can someone achieve in BATTLE DISTANCE'. For example, at one time I precisely calculated Silver Surfer's speed at the end of the first 3 meters of travel by assuming he had a constant acceleration (pushing forward with a constant force), and it was no where near light speed.
Sentry has superhuman speed and reflexes and can achieve any speed (provided he uses enough time to achieve that speed) but it is fair to say that within the first microsecond (or even nanosecond) he can't achieve anywhere the speed nor have anywhere the reflexes that flash can, especially in battle.
