In fiction universes, we can often observe feats where characters completely suppress human perception and move so fast that they seem invisible.
I recently found out that the methods with 220 fps and 0.013 seconds have been disproved. I do not know the reasons, but it seems that it was approved by the administration and we cannot use it.
Some calculations on this wiki also rely on the use of subsonic reaction time, however, this has also been recently refuted.
What timeframe should we use in this case?
The peak time of human perception significantly understates the results.
Let's say a character threw a jab so fast that no one could see it. With an average arm length of 75 cm, this means that the impact velocity will be 9.375 meters/second. Even if we double the result, because the character returned the hand to its previous position, this will give us 18.75 meters per second.
This gives superhuman attack speed and doesn't even come close to FTE speed.
Blows at such a speed will be noticeable to the human eye, but the enemy's brain simply will not have time to give the command to respond.
But what about the people who are watching from the sidelines? Do they see the impact and they don't have to react to it? In order for the blow to be invisible, do you need to deceive the speed of their visual perception?
Do you have any ideas what we can do for these feats?
Maybe we should use a subsonic response or an average human perception of 60 frames per second?
I think this will give more fair results.
I will be glad if you offer your ideas.
