so in s2 there's a bit where a guy hyper accelerates so fast that time is basically still for him, but his opponent set up a speaker to play at 300x speed (which he perceives in normal speed due to the speed boost) to distract him long enough for the boost to wear out...

ok... so here's the thing - i get what the author was going for, but i think they forgot this little known concept known as THE SPEED OF SOUND.

it doesn't matter how fast you play that tape, the speed of sound is gonna hard cap it, and if you're moving so fast that time is still for you, then that audio could be at x99999999999999999999 speed and you still wouldn't hear a beep, because the boost would be used up before it traveled even a milimeter towards you.

so yeah, that's a bit of an awkward physics issue...
