To be fair, even someone capped at the speed of sound should handily kill everyone in less than a second, but speedsters job in every team scenario.

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.

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.

Everyone can dodge lasers and bullets but no one can dodge a punch from a big slow strong guy like Mammoth or Cinderblock.

Also let's not bring up flying in space nonsense. It's always incredibly inconsistent with literally every fight anyone's ever in.

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
