FTL flying in space is not a reliable basis for combat speed, not without specific narration, or else thousands of characters would have basically infinite reflex speed.
Hell, I'd have to be worried about Cartoon Teen Titan Starfire being FTL reflexes for demonstrating space flight of that speed too.

It's only an appeal to motive my friend if I use it to support my argument. I'm not bringing up your transparent motives in an attempt to do anything of the sort. I am simply bringing them up.
You're getting too defensive, it's okay man. I think Superman is on average much faster than Thor too. 👆
The went the shortest route. Straight ahead. They have all of space to maneuver in front of them.
I see you didn't get the point.
Umm...reaction time is based on the *time* it takes to react.Gorr clearly had seconds to react. That is plenty of time.
It took them several seconds to get to where he is. Their speed is irrelevant to the time he has to do something.
All right, let me spell this out to you.
How far away would you wager the Thors were from Gorr when the chunk of moon reached them? Ten planetary diameters maybe?
Now, Gorr somehow managed to pick up a huge chunk of the moon, and toss it at them at about an equivalent speed when they were that close. While they were moving millions of times faster than the speed of light.
And you somehow believe Gorr can't have FTL reaction-time?
What kind of crazy gymnastic lingo are you even trying to do here?Gorr and the Thor's have comparable reaction time obviously.
Good, at least we agree on this.
He landed on a moon. Had seconds before they got there. Clearly its known that he can sense Godly energy. Locking on to something that obvious to him is not anything remotely important or indicative of great reflexes.
K.
Else King Kai would have FTL reflexes for being able to pin-point Goku's ki and talk to him while he's on a FTL ship going to Namek.
I don't recall King Kai having to react to Goku's speed, he just had to sense his Ki.
He started throwing chunks while they are seconds away, knowing where they were coming, they run into said chunks (not even outmaneuvering it), and thus we are left with no reflex feats that amount to FTL whatsoever.
So you believe he chose to throw the rocks very very slowly, rather than at the full speed he could muster?
This reminds me of when people used to argue Zeus chose to throw slow lightning bolts at Kratos.
Easily summed up without any need for FTL reflexes, other than what we'd have to award for hundreds if not thousands of characters that don't demonstrate it with limb speed on land yet can conveniently call upon the fly-very-fast-in-space trope.
It's a much more complicated, far more brainless explanation without need for FTL reflexes, sure.
