Reactions are more a involuntary thing, like dodging and perception; combat speed is being able to interchange physical strikes at con rtain speed. Generally combat speed=reactions, few characters are an exception

It might means what I would usually note down as close combat speed.
In other words a character can fight that fast (exchange and block hits, lean to the side, react to that fast opponents etc.), but not run or move his whole body that fast for example.
I note down close combat speed additionally to reactions in order to differentiate between someone that might only be able to use his abilities at the speed, but not move his body that fast.
If that isn't meant noting it down just as "combat speed and reflexes" I find a bit strange as usually speed is combat speed (in other words you don't write combat speed on the pages; the value without explanation is the combat speed) and combat speed implies having that high reactions (but reactions Ôëá> combat speed).
In other words for the batter for example I would think it should either be written as:
"Speed of Light with Hypersonic+ travel speed" (or running speed instead of travel speed if one wants to be precise)
or
"Hypersonic+ with Speed of Light reflexes and close combat speed"
(then again the explanation given for the batter would more imply it to be just reaction speed, if he is not in the Nothingness)

Depends. if I remember correctly our combat speed is multiple Actions/Reactions but if those pages are just based off a single reaction that is incorrect.

Well, the Batter's reaction speed is based on the fact that in the Nothingness everything automatically travels at the speed of light, and he can maneuver there easily. However, there is no reason to assume that this scales to his combat speed outside the Nothingness, unless I'm missing something here.

Mmm that's a bit of a odd case. i'm not sure.
