Frisk's speed is at best baseline human level and I can't see why this is even contested?
First of all, the lightning bolts aren't actually lightning bolts. They're magical bullets shaped like lightning bolts.
We know they are not real lightning bolts because that is not how real lightning bolts move (seriously, real lightning bolts don't radiate outward like that) or look like (real lightning bolts don't look like little pellets of lightning bolt shapes. Just no.). We also know magical bullets can take basically any form (there's vegetable shaped bullets as seen with Vegetoid, and the dog couple can make heart shaped bullets) and so lightning bolt shaped bullets is relatively straight forward.
Second, the lightning bolts might not even be lightning bolts, but heat waves. Anime style heat waves. It would explain the radiating better, and clouds from vulcanic eruptions are famously deadly for their immense heat.
Third, we can clearly see Frisk walking at a reasonable speed when they flee Undyne, which is the one time Frisk would definitely need to use their full speed. It's not slowed down in the game because we can still clearly read the Welcome to Hotland sign. If Frisk was actually walking at Hypersonic+ speed, the sign to everyone else would be an unreadable blur and it would be useless.
Fourth, Napstablook is not Massively Hypersonic+ because of being able to close the blinds before Flowey's light got in. He just isn't. This is how the thing with Flowey's light happened according to the dialogue at the end of the game: There was a light under the doorstep. He heard a knock. He then saw a flash of light and then the snails on the farm disappeared (notice that he said "flash of light" here, which means that he couldn't see the snail actually being snatched away by the light or even anything at all). He got afraid of this so he then closed the blinds.
Even if we are assuming that the light is what is taking away the monsters (let's not, because we don't have any reason to believe the monsters weren't instead taken by something that glows), the sole fact that the light bothered to knock at all means it was being a) polite and want to give Napstablook a choice and b) not in a rush.
But since it needed to knock, the safest assumption is that Flowey's monster sucking glow couldn't get in through the window. It would have gone straight for the window without knocking if that were the case.
By the way, the one argument that says Sans is Hypersonic+ depends completely on Frisk's speed. If this one rating goes, Sans' Hypersonic+ rating must go too.
EDIT: The bit about heat waves originally said the attacks moved in a spiral, which is wrong. They actually move in a radiating pattern.
