would this thread be similar? https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/376709
Ok, nevermind, that was talking about the speed of the moon jump. I'm not sure if Saitama's moon jump feat will equal his reactions/combat, but I'll wait for more input.

Travelling at that speed would require similar reactions in order to maneuver, and the moment he got down to Earth he was up and fighting Boros, but IIRC he wasn't really maneuvering, just travelling a linear path from Moon to Earth. Only watched the anime though, dont know about the manga.

I believe more people should have their opinion on this. I'll highlight this.

...That... That actually makes a lot of sense, now that I think about it, OP.
Edit: If this gets across and results in a downgrade, would it mean that he gets Relativistic for short bursts or for travel speed?

I'm pretty sure that reaction/combat speed always scales to movement/travel speed unless a defined, clear difference is explicitly stated/consistently demonstrated. Given his extremely fast attacks and fighting style, it would seem that Saitama's super speed applies to reaction time and throwing a punch as well: it's simply a travel speed feat that demonstrates his maximum. That make sense?

Maybe it scales to his combat speed because it's implied that he is far higher?
Plus, I guess there was the assumption that Saitama was taking Boros more seriously then the moon jump, since Saitama seemed to actually get a bit serious near the end of the fight with Boros, while not really trying when jumping from the earth to the moon.
That's about the best I can think of.

Well there was also the fact that Saitama landed on his feet upon returning to Boros's ship, which means he had to have been able to react to the immense speed he was travelling at.
Along with how like Perp said travel and combat speed are typically scaled unless a verse makes a clear and explicit distinction between them.

Well, many things hypersonic and above may already appear fast as heck in fiction. Not necessarily relativistic, sooo... But I'm no calc master, so I can't say for sure.
EDIT: But IIRC, to support Saitama's Rel speed, there's also the fact that he blitzed Sonic, who is MHPS+ by now.

You can blitz Sonic while remaining MHS+ though. On the other hand Perp, Ryukama and Gimmy makes good points on the speed. It's not that likely considering lazers have been tossed around before.
Sorry for unorganized response. I'm on mobile right now.

Saitama is a fighter, his combat speed would obviously be above his travel.

I don't really see how jumping from point A to point B correlates to combat speed. I mean, he can't fly, afaik, so he woulnd't be able to control his movement while jumping. So, I guess he just has some great aim to jump right next to Boros.

I still do not see any issue with this.
-One Punch Man is not like Marvel or DC where Combat Speed and Travel Speed are treated or explicitly said to be separate things. So we should instead scale them the way we scale with Dragon Ball.
-Saitama reacted to the massive speeds he was traveling at, (somehow) redirected his course and managed to land on his feet right before landing.
-Like Xcano has said, if Saitama is able to propell his legs at such speeds, then he is surely able to kick that fast as well.

most of the characters in fiction have much higher combat speeds than their move/travel speeds. alot of characters have like mach 20 speeds, but can they win a race against a jet fighter? no way in blazing hell. could they avoid an attack coming at them at mach 20 speeds? sure, probably even a mach 50 attack.
almost all of characters managed at some point to dodge an attack that is above their speed.
so i rly dont see why wouldnt saitama have reactions like that. in the whole series, saitama reacted to everything he wanted to react to without any effort. so i dont see why could there be doubts. we should probably discuss if saitama's combat speed isnt 5 times that, by any chance.

Agreed, we have no reason to believe combat and travel speeds are any different in any media unless specified.Ryukama said:

Yes, I also agree with Ryu in this situation.
