And yet many people still stand by them as valid points. I mainly brought it up because it's early in the morning so I took this point from popular Fire Emblem debates so I didn't have to think too much about it. Now that I'm actually thinking about it, yeah stats are pointless here.

I brought up the arrow point and the maps because I misunderstood what you meant by "point blank". But you say they don't dodge until the arrow is right in their faces. Not correct. I went back and played Blazing Sword on an emulator and slowed it down to a frame-by-frame. They begin to dodge 3-4 frames before the arrow would hit them. Going by how the game runs at 60fps, I imagine it only takes a few iseconds (3 at most) for an arrow to reach its target (well, 3 in-game seconds. Real time it takes about 1.5). While definitely impressive, it's nowhere near the reaction time they'd have if it really was point blank.

Oh, that's what you meant. Sorry, again, early morning. Brain's not functioning at full capacity yet. So yeah, those are some impressive feats. However that's assuming all of those calculations are correct. Most of the numbers they need come from esimates because we're given no in-game measurements for these things. This is why we don't typically use feats like this; because they're impossible to judge the magnitude of. Maybe Flora made a 10cm thick layer of ice over the ocean, maybe it was only 5cm. Hell, maybe it was a foot thick. We don't know, so there's no way to properly calculate. Same goes for the river and bridge feats.
