And how many illegitimate ones does he have?
Off the top of my head: He threw his staff and Kid Flash ran into it, tripping himself (which was retcon'd as being Booster Gold impersonating Deathstroke). He held his staff out low behind a wall and Flash ran into it tripping himself. He held his sword behind his back and Flash ran into it. And the "knee cap," example already discussed. It's not that they are "illegitimate" speed feats, it's that they aren't speed feats at all... feats of timing and tactics maybe, but mostly they are examples of Flash jobbing and running into shit.
Originally posted by Silent MasterThere are zero reasons why he offer to. He only needs to kill havock before Havok kills him. All he has to do is pull his staff and shoot havock before havock's blast can activate, release and reach DS. DS will get off first and his blast will hit first because his body and mind react and attack simultaneously and instantaneously.There is zero reason to believe that Slade will be able to actually shoot Alex(from .5km away) before Havok is able to activate his power.
Originally posted by Silent MasterNot once has any of these been able to react to an all out attack from DS. Mainly because he's never once fought them without holding back. The've all admitted that he plays with them. even still, the fastest of them all, batgirl, talks about how much faster he is than. it's CIS.
And people w/normal human level reactions are fast enough to react to Slade's attacks. See Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Arsenal etc.
Originally posted by srankmissingnintrue, but he was moving when he tranqu'd him. Not to mention all the dozen times DS tagged him before. Even while trying to blitz, moving fast enough to be invisible DS could tack him and kick him saying 'You are fast but so am I'. As well as the billion times he out reacted wally as lie flash. Wally even said DS was too fast to blitz.
Impulse couldn't move, he was tranq'ed and Deathstroke walked up to him and blew out his knee...
Originally posted by -Pr-Batgirl is stated as 3x human speed. Batman is peak human.
Bruce, Dick, Batgirl and Arsenal are "stated" as having human reflexes, but their feats make such a term pretty redundant.
How many legitimate feats does he haveLiterally dozens. Especially wally Kid Flash in the eighties. His ability to do this is a combination of speed and his mental ability to instantly play out and plan for basically any possible event that could happen. almost as good as precog. in fact DC said they intended on him having precog at first. Which explains a lot of his early 80's Flash feats.

Just like you're wrong about Havok not being ready to attackConcerning the Battlefield
[/B]
Unless otherwise stated by the thread originator, the standard distance between combatants will be .5 kilometers in line of sight at the onset of battle, and there will be an implied "buzz" to signify the onset of battle. [b]It will be assumed combatants are primed to go at the gun.
the bold part only means neither opponent will be caught up doing something else when the time has come, not that Havok is waiting for the gun go off and will just "OMNIBLAST!!"
Full Capacity
It is assumed that each contestant will fight to his/her best ability, but still within the character's personality, unless specified otherwise. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first millisecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed.
It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.
even the last part of the above tell ya that he's not too likely to do it........

REAL snipers bullets travel @ about 3000m p/s; if it only has to travel a fraction of that distance I dont see where the problrem is...... 😉
