So if an indestructible baseball was thrown at a person at it was going FTL (the ball) and that person saw the ball, and then reacted to the baseball by hitting it with an indestructible baseball bat, would you think that person can also run at super speed or human level speeds.
Also, you all use real world calculations daily on fts. The only time you dokt use it is when it doesn't suit you or your arguments.
I'm not avoiding your question since you're reacting before the ball get to you, and the pitcher being some distance away from you, you seeing the swing and you having the skill to hit the ball and time the swing by the time the ball reach you. That's more of a skill question with great execution and amazing perception. Now if you could slap a bullet out of the air, then we can talk about speeds. People practice for YEARS to pull off what you're talking about.
if the ability to react and dodge equated to running speed, then most professional fighters would be faster than usain bolt. usain's peak sprinting speed was clocked at 27mph. pro fighters routinely throw punches in the 30-35mph range (and many of those strikes are dodged by the other fighter.)
so yes, carver- tyson fury vs. usain bolt in a 100m sprint. who wins?
Moving your limbs at high speeds CAN equate to speed, especially running speed if your legs can move at tremendous speeds (strength and stamina as well). If I can move my legs, arms at light speeds, AND perceive things at those levels, i should be able to run at those speeds with no issues at all. Taking a step alone at light speed is devastating.
Or fine training to do the things you're mentioning, lol. Tyson trained his body in a certain way to conduct the things you're mentioning whereas a runner trained their bodies to do certain fts. It's honestly pretty simple understanding of these things.
tyson fury can throw (and dodge) punches at 30ish mph. "simple understanding" dictates that his ability to do so does not translate to running speed. otherwise he'd literally be the fastest man on earth. but if you haven't guessed already, he's obviously not.
i know you're trolling. it's cute. but pull your head out of your ass for just a minute and realize how retarded the "point" is that you're arguing here.
This thread has been... Enlightening, if nothing else. Heh.
Anyway, a character like Grendel can casually react to bullets fired at him from very close range, and precisely deflect them back at the shooter: https://ibb.co/br48dqP
The average 9mm round can travel upwards of 800mph. So does this mean Grendel can physically run/sprint faster than the speed of sound? Of course not. Grendel is just a normal [albeit highly trained] human being -- he isn't a bonafide speedster. There is a sharp distinction between perception/reaction speed, and travel/running speed. Some characters(like the Flash family and Superman, for example) can both react fast AND travel equally as fast. Other characters(like Grendel) are only capable of the former.
...But this isn't exactly late breaking news, so I'm not sure why it's a thing now?

but you're also forgetting leg kicks. many trained fighters can throw kicks at over 100mph. f*ck beating usain bolt, they can easily outrun a cheetah as well. #carvermaths
