You didn't answer my question thoBeen wanting to do this for a while, but now that this threads picking up steam again, I’ll probably do it for accuracy purposes:
Calculating My Combat Speed Cause Yes:
Naturally, as a pretty competitive person irl, I often try to spar with people at the dojo I train at that are way out of my skill/experience level, Usually 1st-3rd Dan black belts if I get the opportunity. Sometimes I get my a** handed to me, And sometimes through SHEER FORCE OF FRICKIN WILL I can at least give them a run for their money. And in some instances I can land some clean shots on them (It’s light touches only where I train no matter what belt you are, since we don’t like broken bones) before they can react effectively. Which I think can be used as a combat speed calc, especially since it’s me at my very best.
So, let’s calc it!
According to Google, the average male arm length is 25 inches, or 0.635 Metres, which we’ll use as my arms’ extension for a sort-of “punch speed” value. Since the peeps I can hit before they can react will logically only block after I already hit them, it’s fair to say that we’d have to include the retraction as well. Therefore, the distance my arm would travel in this timeframe would be 50 Inches, or 1.27 Metres.
Since the people I normally spar with are very experienced in what they do, I think it’s fair to say that they should be at least athletic human-peak human in terms of speed. Some will definitely be faster (Particularly the ones I can’t really beat normally lol) but speed in humans will vary, since it all depends on how much fast-twitch muscle fibers you have, how much you train them, etc. And not all of them will be gym people to train said muscle fibers like I am, lol. Some of them will be just casuals who do it for fun, but obviously are still very experienced and built upon this. So bear in mind that the reaction time I’m using here is being used as an overall average.
With that outta the way, let’s do some math
Da Math:
Vsbattles’ Definition of reaction time for these tiers, since it varies greatly, is 100 ms as a baseline for peak human reactions. So I’ll use that
1.27 (Distance in metres) / 0.1 (Average Timeframe for me to strike) = 12.7 M/S, Or Just Barely Superhuman Combat Speed.
Not as fast as Keith Lidells 20.1 M/S, but still solid
Can you take on her?
