Oh, this is happening on my wall, apparently.

"It is quite a crystal clear feat"

Des, by definition it can't be crystal clear because it's a FTE feat, those will never be 'clear' since they're impossible. The 60 fps thing is an attempt to get a lowball but it's still relying on the flawed premise of FTE being possible- it isn't. Even were a bullet to be fired past your eyes- you would see something. This is made even worse when FTE feats take place over a few yards away as the farther away something is- the easier it is to see it move.

You will see something. You may not be able to define it as more than a blur or a flash- but there will be a visual indication of movement (assuming you don't blink of course). Since this is my wall I'll just say it- FTE doesn't work. I would be more than fine (and actually have been for the most part) with ignoring all FTE feats since they're banking on a principle I do not and will not accept. I think the only occassion I humored FTE feats was Hiei vs Vergil just because Hiei really does one-up Vergil in every feat Vergil has regarding speed.

Also it IS kind of out-of-line considering Guts fought an opponent that was going supersonic enough to make a sonic boom- it was actually something characters made a big deal about and directly remarked on. Which (again, my wall) would point to the FTE feats not being meant to be supersonic. Otherwise a sonic boom shouldn't surprise the characters at all. IF for some reason only one character makes a sonic boom while moving at those speeds- I need a reason why others can reach higher speeds but it was specified for the other one.

But Kirito is always going to be an odd case because he's a video game character. Look at his swords for example. One of them is heavy enough that in a game where it's IN THE PROGRAMMING that anyone can lift and wield weapons- nobody could use it- Kirito can. It would not be unfair to say he has unquantifiable strength.
