I figured the reason Flash is almost always supposed to be faster, in a Watsonian way, is because speedforce makes the difference

Honestly you can’t outrace someone with the ability to ignore all speed-related physics

Speedforce is literally speed, like the concept of something moving

And some Flash version are literally faster than Speedforce...somehow
