[quote=@Innue] Far from it. Stopping time is very difficult to explain the [b]how[/b]. At the tier you encounter it, as I said, you have methods of countering it. However, at the tier you can start encountering 'speedsters' you run into more problems. It is a lot easier to explain super speed to the degree that it is just as indefensible. There is no 'small chance' if your opponent has no time to react - which super speed can accomplish. [/quote] Which is exactly my point. Your character has the same chance to counter super-speed as they do time slowing. The end result of both powers is the same: An opponent who appears to move much, much faster than you do (unless you're also a speedster/time manipulator). In the end, it doesn't really matter how that effect is achieved (unless your character has an ability that makes them difficult to manipulate with other superpowers/magic, in which case the time warper is screwed).
