The Cap vs Angel Dust thread being just the latest example.Miyagi is apparently superfast, even though he looks slow as shit, because he broke bottles and caught an arrow, but Cap is slow because H1 thinks he looks slow, despite the fact that he has multiple showings in the films that would require enhanced speed to achieve.
Edit: By the same standards he is trying to apply here, Cap's combat speed is actually very fast, considering he has landed hits on characters like Black Panther, who has actually dodged and caught multiple arrows from Hawkeye, in the middle of combat. Or tagged Iron Man, who dodged a tank shell in IM1.
To punch Colossus 50feet away or more required superspeed.
So Angel Dust is pretty fast. Plus she easily caught Colossus punch.
Anyway, yes I used a double standard. When arguing Cap I refered to visual speed by habit due to Silent Master being the proponent of that argument. I started arguing visual speed as a joke in order to make Silent's argument backfire. It did. But the joke became a habit that I actually used it seriously against Rage. This was a mistake.
Visual speed is irrelevant if the feat requires significantly greater speed.
So I will not joke anymore. My take is speed required to do a feat is true speed.
Finally, speed can not be judged on the ability to tag someone. This is because there exists counterevidence to contradict it.
For example, Spidey, Superman, etc being tagged by slower than bullet speeds.
And ABC logic does not work when characters are known to operate at different levels at different times (even in real life). A character dodging a bullet only to get hit by another character doesn't mean that character is faster than a bullet. You can't equate a character's highest showings with other showings.
