sonic booms should be mach 1 but is there any reason to believe that is one

Based on this:
https://www.americanscientist.org/a...ext=Surprise waves made by the speed of sound.
It is said that shock waves can be formed when objects collide at supersonic speeds. Supersonic in our lifetime is the speed of sound, which is Mach 1. Whereas in this Wiki, 1 Mach is still Transonic speed

oh right, forgot transonic existed, sonic booms should be transonic

Tried that once, DontTalkDT and Bambu both demanded better evidence, stating that the shockwave could just be a display of power instead of speed.
But if it is indeed confirmed to be a sonic boom and has angles involving it, you can try figuring out the angle for the Mach cone formulae to get the true speed.

But in this case, its clearly created through speed. A card of that size can't make a shockwave through power alone

By that logic we can't apply real world physics to fiction and all calcs are invalidMan's is forgetting this is fiction

I said that a card would be able to generate that power if you didn't ignore that the medium was fiction. You somehow got "so all calcs using physics are invalid". If you can't see the strawman in that, I can't help you.

You're basically saying things in fiction have to work differently from IRL physics

Simply being created through speed alone isn't enough apparently. You need statements that it is indeed a sonic boom.

It doesn't have to be a sonic boom, a shockwave is already mach 1

Simple, without any statements you'd need evidence that the shockwave is breaking the sound barrier and is eerily similar-looking to a Mach Cone.
Even if it does look like a Mach Cone chances are it's not going through without further confirmation/statements that it is related to a sonic boom or somesuch.

Doesn't apply to all works of fiction

Because there's no reason not to. The logic is, generally, "fiction often uses shockwaves as a measure of things aside from speed, e.g. potency of attack". Thus, for the purposes of this wiki, it is not automatically assumed that the creation of a shockwave is evidence of transonic or supersonic speeds. This is how we treat all works of fiction. Shockwaves ain't a speed feat without supporting evidence.

sonic booms arent the only shockwaves that exist and not all shockwaves are mach 1
