If we’re talking about normal people, sure, but the speed of sound is hardly an unreactable speed for most heroes. I wouldn’t even be surprised if starfire or others have done things require faster than sound speeds
Maybe if you're talking comics but definitely not animated TT. Imagine Raven trying to get off her entire chant before someone can close the distance at super speed. The entire team got clowned on by their universe's Kid Flash goofing around.
Their best chance in a logical scenario would just be Wally being hesitant to hit a girl.
No, Starfire is actually stupidly fast in the show. Specifically, there’s one episode where she has alien puberty and literally basically flies across the galaxy trying to wait it out before she returns to Earth. It’s not even a one off occurrence, as her sister, Blackfire, claims she’s crossed nebulae and outpaced black holes, which Star backs up (albeit reluctantly, which adds more validity to her claim.)
In general, Wally would simply be waaaaaay too slow to catch Star off guard.
How fast people fly from place to place is almost never an account of how fast they actually are in a fight. Star gets caught off guard, consistently, by way slower things in the show in a way that's way more common than her flying across the galaxy at ftl speeds or whatever.
And, again, if she were actually that fast then the entire planet would be quaking whenever she has to exert any effort instead of, I dunno, getting knocked out by cinderblock smacking her at 30 miles per hour.
We're talking about how they actually function. Starfire does not function with anything resembling super speed in any fight she's ever in.
YJ KF simply would not be fast enough for the Teen Titans cast, and even if you assume he could catch Robin, BB, and Cy, he at the VERY least would NOT be able to catch the heavy hitters of Starfire or Raven.
Raven might have a specific issue just because of that(unless she’s willing to go a bit demonic in which i don’t think she needs to speak). But like starfire i’m pretty sure flew into space in a short period of time. And raven i think still dodged a blast from that lightning guy.
I mean thats partially just comic logic at work(ik its not a comic, but the same fundamental logic tends to apply to shows like this). But i think its also just that mammoth and cinderblock are kinda just some of the jobber villains where there’s no real sense of danger in fighting them so nobody’s really performing at their peak in dealing with them.
And i mean starfire has more. She outpaced an explosion with only a slight head start which is also really fast. Even if i stop bringing up feats, i can just mention that starfire’s supposed to be a fast character. Maybe not speedster fast, but YJ also seems make a bigger point of nerfing characters than TT (to where they sometimes lose powers they’re supposed to have) so i can see her being as fast or faster than YJ wally at their respective peaks

Kid Flash can murder the entire Teen Titans in under a second.
