Sorry for leaving the topic, I left it cuz is boring. I don't like to leave a discussion, so my apologies.

Except YOU are the one making these sort of claims, NOT ME. I am not making any claims about any reaction feats, I'm just being rational on what the scene truly shows and represents. I'm not using the scene as evidence of the bullet's speed, you are doing it and even claiming is slower than normal bullets. The burden of proof would be on you. I mean, you are quantifying its speed by using the scene as "Evidence" of it, which is not. That scene wasn't made to show and to specify that bullet's speed.

Distance and speed are highly important to the feat. If you were somehow able to shoot a bullet over 200 meters with it only moving at a speed of 1 meter per second you could easily dodge it. Or tank it, for that matter.
You're being ridiculous now. The properties of "speed" and "distance" are things you are speculating, you are not going to convince anyone besides yourself about those bold claims and personal interpretations. You are putting, suggesting and presenting elements which are not there. You brought that kind of information from the Ultimania? 'Cuz that Sniper Rifle's bullet or whatever that thing is, it hasn't been stated nor specified to be slower than normal bullets nor its current speed nor the whole distance between two places in that scene. NOTHING of what you suggest is presented and specified, why should I take your claims as evidences? They clearly aren't, they aren't backed up with anything, none of them. That's circular reasoning. It is more logical to assume, that is not really important, because it's a simple bullet.

I doubt everything we use as feats around here are meant to be precisely calculated like we do, but we have to. It helps to measure how good a feat is. Otherwise we'd have people basing strength feats on what size something is and other stupid stuff. "That lead block is only one square inch. But that feather is huge! Clearly the feather lifter is stronger."
We don't have to and sure it helps to "measure"... 🤨 but it depends, and in THIS case made up "measurements" are irrelevant. If you want to speculate on something that's your decision as long as you know how to use a logical reasoning, but your claims holds no weight in anything, at least not in THIS case. The developers made that scene for plot's purposes, not to show to you what is the exactly speed of that bullet, less to assume that the bullet is even slower than normal, that's completely absurd. I don't know about what strength feats are you talking about, but as far as THIS scene goes, it doesn't matter either. I got your point, but you don't need analogies to be able to understand something that is presented before us and is simple and clean.

It makes perfect sense and you know it does. Something was about to happen, you admitted this. We never see Ultimecia put up a force field. You know that. The bullet hits the force field, stopping it from hitting Ultimecia. You know that. What you don't know is when that force field was put up.
We do see Irvine aiming and firing at her though. The bullet was fired, thus she puts the field protecting herself, THAT is what she did, otherwise she's dead. It is logical to assume she did it at moment Irvine fired, that's why she protected herself, they failed their mission and Squall decided to attack her directly. That's actually logic, I don't know why are you even arguing over this, it's like arguing that Ultimecia is a black woman. 😂 Squall even said that Irvine's aiming (despite that he was nervous) was perfect. You, however, are persisting in quantifying and making up the bullet's speed with random and irrelevant information for no apparent reason whatsoever, or maybe to disregard what Edea did, protecting herself from a shot. I know you hate the Final Fantasy characters, but denying and downplaying facts won't make them go away.

They are my points. How would I not make sense of them?
Well, maybe for you they does, I don't know. ermm

I don't recall saying you said it was a simple static charge. It isn't true, you know. You can't hold a charge of that magnitude while being weak to electricity and be unfazed. This is why I brought up static charge, the only reason we don't feel it is because it is relatively small.It made me laugh too. I was just mocking your previous responses to the Ultimecia stuff. But do tell, in what way is Zeus granting them Thunder Armor my logic?
What magnitude? Are you going to measure that electricity? Sure, it seems strong, but Pikachu along with Swellow could stand it. They don't enjoyed it because you can see their faces and that shows it wasn't a weak attack. Ash's Pokemons are really strong, experienced and very well trained, keep that in mind. That is actually like many of Ash's strategies. Do not generalize the Pokemons, Swellow may be weak to electric attacks due he's an flying type Pokemon, but it doesn't mean it will be defeated just by one attack and that it would be ALWAYS weak to it, as it doesn't mean he's a weak Swellow, because he's a really strong one, not all the Swellows are the same. Oh, and since the Anime can't be used here because these are fights between games (some users still used it though to benefit themselves or maybe to show feats the Pokemons can't show in the games. The IRONY.) I do really think the games are inaccurate and inconsistent, is pretty obvious with those descriptions as most of them are hyperbole, you shouldn't take them serious really. Both sources are canon, but the ones that decides what's more important or not are the creators, not the fans.
Mocking? Or trolling? 😕 Forget it, it doesn't even matter.
Yeah, right? Zeus granting them Thunder Armor sounds so illogical as claiming that Edea put the field before the shot, that she has already her hand raised, that the bullet is slower than normal bullets, that she heard Irvine and Squall there and claiming that she was aware. Even claiming that you know what she was thinking (Sure! I would put up a field if I were her! (Sure, I would do a lot of things if I were a videogame character) with a completely lack of evidence and logic. But again, forget it... You hardly sound rational... I suppose this happens because you don't know anything about Final Fantasy, but still wanna argue about it and win at any cost without barely knowing about what you're talking about. I understand now why some of you guys never reach an agreement with other users and ends your discussions in pointless fan-boy fights.
