Speed Question

The ability of normal people to follow a fight between characters moving at subsonic speeds or higher is not necessarily an anti-feat. It largely depends on the context of the story and the way the fight is portrayed.
  • They might use various techniques, such as slow-motion, clear choreography, or special effects, to make fast-paced fights visually comprehensible to the audience.
However, if a story explicitly establishes that characters are moving at speeds beyond what the human eye can perceive or comprehend, and normal people within that story can still follow the fight without any explanation, it could be seen as a lack of consistency or attention to detail on the part of the creators.
 
Depends on how consistent the subsonic is and what this "normal people" are.
I think this would fll under reaction speed. For " normal peoples "

depends on the consistency, but usually wouldn't be an anti-feat
For context this concerns the characters from the Game of Thrones books.

There is a feat in the books where a Dotrakhi does afterimage with his combat speed against Jorah Mormont, who is just outspeed, and this fight is from Daenerys' point of view. But the problem is that the other untrained characters like Daenerys in the series are able to follow the trained characters' fights, there are no afterimages in their points of view.

And also she doesn't see Jorah Mormont doing afterimages while he can parry certain blows from the Dothraki who does afterimages...
