@hatemalingsia: There's a lot of misconseptions on your part; and I mean a whole lot.
Exactly, there's a difference between outrunning bullets and reacting to it. The UAV started shooting at some of the people near them before it saw them. Then it took a moment to aim in plain view of Snake before it fired at them. He's fast enough to jump away after the UAV started shooting, but he had few seconds to look at where it's aiming, his surroundings, ect. How is that comparable when Jensen blatantly outran bullets few feet away from him?
It was simply to point out that Big Boss is completely able to bullet-time, nothing more.
Null never blitzed Big Boss during cut-scenes or gameplay. His speed, which was shown to blitz nameless soldiers in a cut-scene, is pointless if it's never used in his fight with Big Boss. Null never utilized his superior speed to kill Big Boss in any scenarios.
Except he did, he blatantly tried to blitz Big Boss twice during a cut scene. Not to mention he was bloodlusted the entire time. Big Boss was simply able to react and counter all of his strikes.
Null never displayed any exceptional reflex and speed that Big Boss couldn't handle except blocking bullets with his sword or jumping out of his sight during their fight whatsoever. Saying that Big Boss beat Null, even though Null never blitzed him by using his speed to stab him in the hearth or shoot him in the head, was a good example of how Big Boss handled blitzer is bad.
Except Null did try to kill him constantly. Null had supersonic reflexes and tried numerously to kill Boss, yet Big Boss stalemated him and then beat him. Big Boss couldn't shoot him with a bullet, but he still countered and beat him down. You can't deny that Big Boss beat him fair and square.
Fact is, the only person who had bullet-time and used it during his fight with Big Boss in Peace Walker? Gene.
What are you talking about? Null did it in both cut scenes and game play. He was fast enough to cut bullets fresh out of the air. Null was also fast enough to dodge bullets, while appearing as just a blur. He didn't magically start jobbing right when he fought Big Boss twice.
Big Boss couldn't tag him at all unless he caught him while Gene was in the middle of catching his breath (or rammed/pinned him against a wall). Every time Gene used his bullet-time ability to get up close with Big Boss, Big Boss always get caught by him unless you used gameplay mechanic (like pinning him against a wall or putting a barrier between him and you, ect) or just avoid his bull-rush at all. Big Boss was forced to enter CQC with him every time Gene caught up with him. Only because of his superior CQC not reflex/speed (Gene was not phasing when he's in the middle of hand-to-hand combat) , Big Boss could get away. Imagine if Gene used a gun and pressed the gun barrel on Big Boss' torso in the middle of bullet-time.
Except Gene was much, much faster than just a bullet timer; he was fast enough to the point where it looked like he was standing still and seemed as if bullets moved through him and completely blitzed and fodderized Null; he also had pre-cog and emotion manipulation, too. The only time Gene got tired is when he tried to blitz Big Boss using the full extent of his Zero Shift (The Yellow Ability). Gene even admitted to the end that Big Boss' soldier genes were too good for him and he couldn't beat him. Snake had to be fast enough to tag Gene, considering he was much faster than bullets, had ESP, and better reflexes than Null; skill wasn't the only factor. The game even went out of its way to confirm that Gene had better reflexes than Null.
Do you notice a pattern here? Every time Big Boss fought enemies with superior-reflex/speed, he couldn't out-speed them. Big Boss couldn't get though Null's bullet blocking or Gene's bullet-time by conventional means. But he excels at other aspects of fighting. I will leave it up to you.
There's no actual pattern, you're just trying to make one up. Of course Big Boss couldn't outspeed the speedsters, but he still kept up and was bale to match them. And yes, Big Boss did counter and get through both their speed, considering he literally beat them in a fair in square fight. It seems like you never really payed attention to Portable Ops
My opinion that Snakes stomp and take this every time still stands; nothing changes that.
