Talk:Android 18 vs. Fiora/@comment-5038193-20180616012924/@comment-5808856-20180616014634

I honestly do not believe in the differance of combat speed and movement speed. Reaction time and speed, however, I do think is a thing. As an example, let's take Kirby. Kirby's warp star moves seveal million times faster than light. It is not really autopiloted either, Kirby does infact pilot the thing. For Kirby to not just crash through every planet in his way he would need the reflexes to be able to pilot the Warp Star around. To be able to react to things that could show up in his way like asteroids or planets, you need to be able to have reactions somewhere in the ballpark of the speed you are going. Even if I were to lowball Fiora's reaction time to only half of her speed, that would still be almost 25x that of what 18 can do.

For me there is reactions and speed, but I don't really think combat speed is a thing at all. That's just how I view the whole speed and reactions thing. That's why I put alot of stock in a character's speed. With a massive gap in that ability (such as here), it can help get around things such as 18's better power and durability (both of which I did point out. Though if scalled to the final boss she would be Universe +, but that is like saying Magikarp beats Arceus. It's a game mechanic, and the only party member that strong is Shulk. He strongest feat on her own is about moon-level in both power and durability.)

Thanks, though, and hope my explination gave better insight to my reasoning on my views when it comes to a character's speed and reactions. This has been one of my favorite fights that I have worked on, and am trying to go back and make some revisions to fix some spelling and grammer errors. If I were to list my favorite ones I have written, I would say this is only beaten by Aqua vs Twilight Sparkle, while Goku vs Sailor Moon is just below it at third.
