I'll keep it brief.

In "His Last vow", Mary shoots Sherlock and before he hit the ground or even registered the pain, he was able to come up with countermeasures all in head to keep himself alive.

As far is peak humans go, this is an impressive feat, backed up by other instances throughout the show when Sherlock is put under stressful situations.

As such, Sherlock's reaction speed should be far higher than the average person. I don't have an exact value, but it should be slower than the time needed to react to a bullet and faster than the time required to register pain. I propose Athletic Human movement speed, higher reaction speeds.

This should scale to those of similar or higher intelligence as compared to Sherlock, including Moriaty, Eurus, Mycroft, Irene, Magnussen, etc.
 
Well registering pain is kinda complicated. Not registering pain can be due to adrenaline, the nerves being outright destroyed, shock, etc.
 
This is different tho, Sherlock had an entire conversation in his mind palace before he even hit the ground. And he knew exactly how much time he had before the pain started kicking in.

Here's the feat.

So yeah, he ran entire thought processes within 3 seconds.

According to this, pain from the hand can reach the brain within 100ms. While the hand is further from the brain from where he got shot, that study sets 100ms as the lowest end that's not an outlier with many samples ending up higher, so it could be good to use as a baseline.

If he had what to him seemed like 3 seconds take place in less than 100ms, he's thinking 30 times faster than his unconscious pain response, which is going to be faster than reaction speeds on normal people anyways. I think this puts him into subsonic+. I can make this into a blog if needed.
 
Whoops, kinda forgot about this.

It would be nice if you did put that on a blog Wok, see if I can actually get Subsonic+ Sherlock.
 
Forgot about this again.

Since the calc has been accepted, I'll apply the changes to the relevant profiles.
