Mace was two feet away haermm
Also look at how instant Maul was able to throw thtas tool box into that door, and the other multitudes of force attcks shown in AOTC to be instant.
Maul grabbed the bix instantly. It took a second to throw it at the door.
Stop trying to gimp the ungimpable. 🙂
Not trying to gimp anything. Video evidence shows that Snape is faster casting spells.
ALSO Precog allows Palps to pip the wizard to the post regardless of how instant he can apparate normally. And Headless wiazards can't apparate.
Here we go again. How does this help? This is a duel. 3...2..1...GO. Sidious can't attack until GO. It takes a split second to raise his hands, cast force lightning, and have it hit the victim. By this time Snape will be long gone.

RJ, I think that you are misrepresenting the value of apparation. It is a very powerful tool. Applied properly, it offers the wizards a sound tactical advantage over a combatant that is slower than they. However, a tool is only as good as the person behind it. The wizards have not been shown to possess any sort of superhuman reaction time or agility.
Agility? No. Reaction time casting spells vs reaction time casting force attacks? Yes. pm me if you require proof. I've posted it here dozens times, but it has gone ignored everytime.
Jedi have. Jedi have a power called precognition (mentioned in TPM as well as the original trilogy) that allows them to act and react even before events have occurred. That advantage puts them soundly above other types of human, such as those in the HPverse
I know this, dude. Like I asked sadako, How does this help? This is a duel. 3...2..1...GO. Sidious can't attack until GO. It takes a split second to raise his hands, cast force lightning, and have it hit the victim. By this time Snape will be long gone.
The duration of apparition itself is largely irrelevant if the wizard in question hasn't got enough time to realize that apparition is necessary.
