How fast do you have to be to dodge bullets, lightening, lasers, sound, etc?

Also does dodging them equal to being as fast as them?

Thanks for reading.
 
Bullets = Subsonic - Supersonic

Lightning = Likely MHS+

Lasers = Sub-Relativistic - FTL

Sound = Subsonic - Transonic and hardly Supersonic

2. Depends on how it's dodged (If the character did Aim Dodging then very likely no)

So what are the exact low ends and high ends of Bullets, Lightening, Lasers and Sound?
 
Bullets are normaly mach 2 - Supersonic

Lightning is mach 1280 - MHS+

Lasers are Sol so you know FTL

Sound... well Transonic
 
You gonna have to give some distance and movement done to have the best answers.

Dodging a bullet from a distance can go as low as superhuman, maybe even lower, but it can also go higher, like hypersonic+ even, if one did something ridiculous like dodging pointblank or dancing to Beethoven's fifth before the bullet arrives.

Same with others.

Okay. How about we go with the average speed of Bullets, Lightening, Lasers and Sound, do you know the exact answers?
 
I didn't ask for average speed. That's pretty much a given. We need distance from source to the target, e.g. the gun being shot (give some distance) the person dancing the macarena while waiting for the bullet.

For example, Kirito can swat bullets with a lightsaber from a meter or so away. He's at least Hypersonic+ for swinging his arm that fast, and he's doing it against an automatic rifle. That's one end of the spectrum. On the other end, Iron Fist is superhuman for dodging a bullet from 2.5 meters.

For lightning, Zuko has a Mach 593 feat of blocking lightning from 0.45 meters away, and DMC reboot's Vergil on the other hand, has a Mach 10,161 feat for moving 10 meters in the time it takes for lightning to move 1.3 meters.

Lasers, can go from aimdodging superhumans to FTL, to Thor swatting Count Nefaria's lasers at 2x lightspeed.

See the point of having given distance?

Alright, can you calculate how fast Base Sonic is for dodging lasers?
 
Don't quote walls of text. It's a waste of space.

Anyways, you gotta have proof that those lasers are lightspeed, and then request it in the Calc Request thread, or message the calc group on their walls. I'm no calcer so I can't really help much else there.
