Combat Speed

I have a question about Combat Speed. It's the speed at which someone can fight, but what makes it so different from other speeds? Just wondering.

Thanks.
 
Travel speed: How fast you can move, for example how fast you can reach somewhere by running

Reaction speed: How fast you can react, for example being able to dodge a bullet.

Flight speed: Self explanatory, how fast you can fly

Attack speed: How fast you can attack

Combat speed: How fast you can fight

Combat speed isn't really special or anything just that characters can have different speeds, you might be able to fly at MFTL speeds but only be able to fight at FTL speeds, or you might have an attack which is Relativistic, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can fight at those speeds.
 
Attack speed: The speed an attack travels at, but the character itself doesn't necessarily be similarly fast. E.g. A human with a gun, where the attacks speed is supersonic due to the bullet, but the human isn't.

Reaction speed: Someone can for example pull a trigger that fast, but couldn't move his whole body to dodge.

Travel speed: Someone can travel that fast, but possibly requires long times of acceleration to reach such speeds or lacks the reactions to avoid an attack incoming at the speed he travels with. It could also be lower than combat speed in case the stamina of the character doesn't allow him to go more than short bursts with his full speed. So in general someone with travel speed can not necessarily dodge an attack incoming with that same speed.

Flight speed: Speed a character can fly with, but not necessarily move its body otherwise. Can also apply as combat speed, but can also be like travel speed.

Combat speed: Able to very quickly accelerate to such speeds in battle, making it possible to do complex manoeuvres at this speed and having the capability to react attacks made with similar speed stat, meaning that such a character can fight another character with similar speed stats without being blitzed or having to employ aimdodging or similar.
