The movement starts at 32 seconds in, and ends at 33-34 seconds.
That is 1-2 seconds.
But hey, let's assume for a moment that RJ's time frame is completely correct.
No, let's not assume, let's accept. Observe:
Yang at the beginning of his first speed blitz. Note the youtube timer:
And here's Yang at the end of the attack, again, note the youtube timer:
Yeah, thought so.
All right, the distance between where Yang starts and finishes his assault. I would like to be able to more accurately get the distance, but for now I will assume 10 meters, probably a little less. But ten meters is fine.
Yes, it is 10 meters (30 feet) from where Yang begins to where he ends.
So, moving ten meters in .25 seconds is 40 meters per second.Now, RJ says that he had to make individual movements to take out each person. Which is fair enough, hey, let's say that quadruples the speed, making Yang allegedly have a speed of 160 meters per second. Actually no **** that, let's say that because there are nine men, he had to travel the 30 meters nine times, which is ridiculously unlikely, but let's just pretend for a moment, k?
That brings him to 360 meters per second, only just BARELY above the speed of sound, by slightly less than 17 meters per second.
You know what that equates to? Not being as fast as Afro. 😐
Look at the spacing between the 9 men:
It ranges from about 5 to 15, maybe 20 feet between each man. I averaged it at about 10 feet between each man. He had to have zigzagged between each, he didn't travel in a straight line. Now, Yang, in order to have cut them all down in less than 1/4 a second (this is accurate, I just proved it), had to have performed 10 speed blitzes, each accompanied by a surgical sword swipe. Observe:
So, ten speed blitzes averaging ten feet per blitz, all in less than 1/4 second. He covered 100 meters in less than 1/4 second. That comes to 400 fps. No, that's not even close to the speed of sound. 400 fps is impressive, but that's not what I am boasting. What I am boasting is his reaction speed. The speed in which he sees an attack and reacts. Nine perfect sword swipes in less than 1/4 second, yes, this is faster than Afro (in the vids at least, if, when I watch the full movie, I see different, I'll eat my words), and yes, it IS Neo fast. It's Agent Smith fast.
BTW: Not shown in the vid is each of his 9 enemies being cut in two at the waist.
BTW: Also not shown on youtube is when Yang confronted 4 sharp shooting cowboys in a hallway that was maybe 15 feet long and 6 feet wide. Two had pistols, one a gauge, the other a machine gun. He dodged ALL their fire and raped them. The two pistoleers, he dodged from a foot away.
Me wanking Yang as much as I could's speed feat does not begin to compare to casually dodging and deflecting bullets, including at one point from a gatling gun, or cutting a rocket in half, or avoiding laser fire from the Afro droid, Afro is FASTER.
It's not "nine sword swipes in less than 1/4 second" fast.
And this is ignoring all the other advantages Afro has. Afro could snap Yang's neck, unless he has some durability feat I am unaware of, by squeezing hard, as showcased when with a light tap he sent a large (As in 500 pounds of muscle) man flying 30 feet away and through a wall.Then that is ignoring that Yang would be hardpressed to signifigantly injure Afro, who has survived bridge-destroying bombs, near-impaling of his skull, prolly something else I forgot.
Afro wins. Yang at his most wanked cannot compare.
Hey, I'm not saying Yang has higher damage soak, I'd be foolish to do so.
What I am saying is that Yang is faster when executing sword attacks. If he cuts Afro in half, pretty sure Afro would feel it. Show me a scene where Afro does the following:
1. Speed blitzes nine men over 400 feet
2. Cuts them all in half
3. Does 1 and 2 in less than 1/4 second.
If you or anyone else can do so, I'll eat my words.
