It doesnt matter if someone's attacks are predictable if you are too slow to see them. The Speed Demon fight was terribly written PIS.
Wolverine putting his elbow out in slow mo to tag SD would have prompted SD to simply move out of the way. SD's reflexes cant be slower than his speed because then he wouldnt be able to handle his speed and just run into everything.
The only way that fight works is if speed demon was only marginally faster than logan. Like a fast boxer vs slow boxer situation.
But wolverine implied he could barely see SD and put out an elbow in the hopes that he would hit SD based on his predictable attack pattern thus far.

Now, imagine speedsters see 0.25*0.25*(...)*0.25.
Any non-speedster is a statue.

Yup. This is true even for Marvel (thank you Gruenwald). But let's face it, if all writers followed that rule, Speedsters would win close to 100% of the fights they were in (which would make for boring stories).
It's why the forum has a no PIS rule - the fact that it's 95% of speedsters showings is just the way the medium works. We're not writing stories on the forum, where we need to keep it competitive.

Carver, this is what we are talking about :
To a true speedster, non-speedsters look like they are frozen in time.
He won't get it.
I've shown him scans of Superman, as Clark Kent, overcoming time dilation where everyones slowed to a statue, and days and nights pass in seconds, and he kept going on about "combat speed" or some shit. As if it only counts if they hit someone.
And that is a great feat for Grandmaster.

Remember, Gambit and Spider-Man did pretty much the same thing to Quicksilver - worked just as good, if not better.
Then you have Deathstroke raping Flash orally & anally w/o lube each time he sets his eyes on him...
