So many people love to use this idea of Fox Apocalypse reacting to quicksilver as a feat for other speedsters not being able to blitz him. But that isn't what actually happened. He was getting dominated and then he sped up his perception time to be able to track quicksilver. He doesn't start off anywhere near quicksilver level reactions. The only thing that saved Apoc was Quicksilver's piss poor striking abilities. So please stop using it as a game changer feat.

@kalkent: How did he realize that he was getting punched around then? Shouldn't there have been a reason for Apocalypse to speed up his perception time at that exact moment?

You don't need to see the person to realize you are being punched around, and quicksilver was giving him some pretty long breaks in between punches.

Quicksilver was giving him long breaks from his perspective, but from that perspective Hypersonic characters would be frozen.

He didn't react to him tho, he literally was getting mollywhopped until he sped up his perception view.

right, but you need to feel getting punched around. This theory just means that Apocalypse reacted to a touch stimulus instead of a visual stimulus.

This may seem unrelated, but what do you think of lightning in fiction? Is the default assumption that it travels as fast as regular lightning until proven otherwise, or is it slow until proven otherwise?

I mean he could feel the punches though, that's literally where the basis of AOE Attacks come from. By everyone's logic in this thread, Thor would never be able to tag Superman with an aoe attack, yet they constantly agree with him doing so. And I would think it travels as fast as regular lightning unless clearly shown otherwise.

Yea, getting punched what could have been hundreds of times if quicksilver was serious is reacting to him. Hell, there was even a literal noise and camera shots indicating apocalypse was speeding up his perception in the movie. And kev, you of all people? This would mean your precious thor would never tag superman.

uh? I don't see the relation between Thor tagging Clark with an AoE and Apocalypse reacting to a touch stimulus.

If you believe that's the case, Quicksilver making Storm's lightning look slow puts him in the hundreds of thousands of machs, putting Apocalypse's reaction at ridiculous levels.

The argument for thor tagging Clark with an AOE is that he would feel himself getting blitzed and then respond with an AOE Attack. But according to everyone in this thread, you need to have the speed to react to it or else you wouldn't feel the punches, which thor would not according to this logic.

You literally called it a one time showing and said it wasn't consistent, that is the very definition of an outlier. Like I don't know how much more dense you can get.

of course you need to feel the punches to react to a blitz. I definitely wouldn't agree with that argument for Thor reacting to Clark. Reaction time from a touch stimulus is somewhat faster than that from a visual stimulus, but this difference is insignificant when the speed difference is especially large. FOX Quicksilver outclasses most characters in speed by such a massive amount, that even if we go with your theory and don't try to dispute it, Apocalypse would react to pretty much everyone he comes across.

He would react to them eventually, but against stronger characters that dwarf quicksilver in striking power he would probably be dead by then. That is my issue with people using this as some end all durability and reaction feat.

False. I've never claimed anything was an outlier. Again, you brought that up, not me. But, here's the definition of the word 'consistent': "acting or done in the same way over time, especially so as to be fair or accurate," and in Layman's terms: "more than once." And insulting me isn't going to help your case, and in fact, ruin it even further than you have already. I recommend you stop.

No it doesn't because PC Superman doesn't fight like Fox Quicksilver at all, which was the whole basis of my argument. If he did, he would stomp. This makes me wonder how many of my other arguments you've been misunderstanding.

No, but you and other thor boys arguments is muh aoe attacks. But by your own logic in this thread thor wouldn't even feel the punches in order to even know he would have to use an AOE attack. I mean you also think FOX Quicksilver is comparable to PC Clark in speed so.

I've never argued he uses them by feeling the hit and doing it. I argue that Superman doesn't fight by statuing people and doesn't do a lot of damage hitting at high speeds. He goes for haymakers for real damage, which are a lot slower and slows him down, that allows Thor to hit him with lightning.

And when I was debating with you that one time, I never argued AoEs. My dude you gotta stop assuming you know every argument before you debate it. If you didn't you might make a far more convincing(if inconsistent) submission argument for Clark.

@kalkent:

Quicksilver is the GOAT live action speedster(ok CW flash is) but reacting at all to FOX quicksilver is crazy.

——-

Here is where I think your wrong.

I’m not convinced that Apocalypses eyes were him speeding up his perception at all.

I think that’s just what happens to his eyes when he matter manipulates just like in the rest of the movie.

——-

What proof of this ‘speed up reaction time’ power you claim Apocalypse has.

——-

I think he can’t move his body at super speed, but he use his powers in conjunction with his perception and matter manipulate.

——-

Because your making the claim of a new mutant power I believe the onus is on you to prove the claim.

——-

Summary: Apocalypse’s eyes do that cloudy shaky thing a bunch of times in the movie, I see no proof of a power that enhances his perception.

Oof. All the supes low ballers are banding together. I guess you guys conveniently missed the noise indication that apoc had to amp his abilities to even perceive him. He was getting the crap getting blitzed out of him in the beginning. Smh.

Depends what characters, of course, but most live action high tiers won't stand a chance. If we're to go into detail...

In this slowed down screen time, Quicksilver was alternating from blur speed (when he was moving from spot to spot) to regular speed (when he stopped to punch). The blur speed isn't that fast, a car on the freeway could probably achieve the same effect at such close distance, but let's highball it to mach 1. In reality, we know that Quicksilver runs multiple times faster than lightning, which is probably way FTL but let's be safe and say it's mach 500 000. This means that mach 500 000 in real time registered as mach 1 in screen time, so screen time was slowed down by 500 000 times. Since Quicksilver's first contact, it took Apocalypse 12 seconds (in screen time) to speed up his perception, so he actually did it 500K quicker in real time, which is 24 microseconds. This means that the character Apoc goes up against has to cover the distance and hit him in under 24 microseconds, a feat that can only be performed by a mach 300 character, at standard starting distance. Very few high tiers are this fast.

It's almost like a character you like can't blitz apocalypse. People are also confused on how fast he reacted to quicksilver.

Earlier in the movie quicksilver made a single bee wing flap last 7 seconds which is roughly the same time apocalypse needed to react meaning it took him the time a bee flaps it's wing once to speed up his perception

People Apocalypse didn’t initially react to quicksilver

Quicksilver walked up to apocalypse and he couldn’t see him it was only after a lot of hits he eventually sped up his perception to react to quicksilver

My point is if superman is approaching from space at Mach 22 apocalypse wouldn’t be able to react as he hasn’t speed up he’s perception at that point in time until hit
