How fast is cw flash?

I want to know how fast people think he is because some people think he is slow based off low end moments from season one.While others think he is faster than light because of his ability to time travel.

@watcher5000:

He's very inconsistent, sometimes he struggest to keep up with catching bullets, other times he makes a wall of sound by running back and forth.

hes terrible to debate about because his feats contradict each other.

that being said the time travel argument is wrong. He tried to replicate the time travel with the rest of them, they made it clear he was going faster than he was before, but still was unable to time travel.

I also think they mention how fast he was going when he tried to stop that big wave, and time traveled that time. It wasn't light speed. I don't think he has gone light speed in the show yet.

unlike the comics, he doesn't need to go light speed to achieve time travel, i think it's more tied to his emotions.

That said, by statements he should be above Mach 2.

By statements, Mach 21. By feats, way over Mach 1000.

@solid_snake97: in this comics he doesn't use speed to time travel

@watcher5000: yeah but that's wally west

@solid_snake97: I understand.I am just saying speedsters in the comics use their connection to the speed force to time travel.

Mach 20-25 by statements and their 'science', but by feats he is faaaaaaar faster

Faster than all the lowballers.

Almost faster than CW wally

Not even close to light speed even after all upgrades.

Still not fast enough to save his parents or Iris.

@rbt: @captain_batman_ftw: what statements?

@legacy6364: Dead. But his feats range from less than a 1mph to 1000 mach.

Are we talking pre or post pep talk

Character statements in the show. Mostly by Caitlin and Wells, who keep monitoring Barry's speed.

@tvc-15: at his best so post pep talk.

He has some incredible feats of speed. Like perceiving lightning at a crawl, time travel, and even creating a double by moving so ludicrously fast that the universe thinks there's two of him.

Then he can't catch three bullets.

The writers don't give one funk.

@rbt: I don't remember any of them saying Mach 20?

@nickzambuto: Its crazy... Its like they hired 20 people

Its mostly fancalc.

@rbt: oh ok.

Not fast enough to beat a turtle

@jaycool2: who are you Zeno of Elea?

But seriously while some people are gonna say something bad about this but honestly cw Flash due to his fluctuating ability can go as fast as they need him to go in that particular episode. If he needs to be unable to stop bullets for plot reasons then he will be slower. If he needs to disarm 100+ bombs all at the exact same time across the country well he will be able do that while in the next episode he can't even catch a speeding car.

Cw Barry = pis ( ok don't get me wrong I Lowe flash but I hate using Barry in battel forum and that mean any flash , flash has always been inconsistent weather it's cw or comic in one issue he faster then light in second he gets tagged by street lvl people and in third superman has hard time tagging him .

Barry moves at plot speed.

@seagod: Who is that?

if they are cool then hell yeah i am.

@jaycool2: Zeno of Elea was a Greek philosopher who proposed a theory that a runner could never catch a tortoise in a race due to some crazy logic. Here is a website's explanation of the paradox.

Achilles, whom we can assume is the fastest runner of antiquity, is racing to catch the tortoise that is slowly crawling away from him. Both are moving along a linear path at constant speeds. In order to catch the tortoise, Achilles will have to reach the place where the tortoise presently is. However, by the time Achilles gets there, the tortoise will have crawled to a new location. Achilles will then have to reach this new location. By the time Achilles reaches that location, the tortoise will have moved on to yet another location, and so on forever. Zeno claims Achilles will never catch the tortoise. This argument shows, he believes, that anyone who believes Achilles will succeed in catching the tortoise and who believes more generally that motion is physically possible is the victim of illusion, as Parmenides had proclaimed.

@seagod: cool i'll look it up

thx

@jaycool2: he was also a antagonist in the manga Choujin Sensen

What the heck is this GIF lol

Mach 20-30.

He ranges from about mach 3 to mach 1000, so he is as fast as the plot needs him to be.

@rbt: The Last conformation of the Flash's speed in the show was mach 13.

And then Zoom stole his speed, added it to his own and Barry against got faster than him after his trip to speed force.

@rbt: I know. I'm just saying,the last official definite speed was mach 13

What pisses me of is that they constantly compare him with Wally and Jesse, saying that they're almost as fast. But official observations by Caitlin and Wells both indicate that neither Wally nor Jesse can break mach 3. If Barry was only slightly faster than Mach 3 after speed force trip then Zoom would have destroyed him in the season 2 finale and we wouldn't have season 3. It's so dumb

@w0nd:

I guess a little above mach2

Honestly he'd have to be around mach 25 to beat Zoom at the end of season 2 but he can go even faster (or slower) depending on his emotional state

@firestarlord73194: this see ppl he

Gets it

Not fast enough.

Does he get pep talk? If so, he's always faster than the other guy.

Didn't Barry and supergirl have to tag every dominator in the city? Country? World? One of those, in the crossover?

Yes,all of those actually.
