I thought I'd create this thread to clarify some things people have been coming up with on this site recently. There are like dozens of threads discussing who has the best speed feats etc. and more than 90% of them use edo characters as explanation.
For example alive Minato's or Itachi's speed feats are based on mostly on what they showed while in edo state.
BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE COUNTED TOWARDS THEIR NON-EDO FEATS. Here's why.
Fast movement strains a character's body - their muscles and stuff. Very fast movement is even more dangerous. That's why, even if a character could move faster, their body simply wouldn't be able to withstand the strain.
This is why Lee, Gai and healthy Kimimaro are the fastest ones in NV without any boosts/enhancements from chakra, like Shunshin etc.
They spent so many years training their bodies physically, that they are can force their bodies to move very fast (example - Lee moving so fast that no one could even spot him while attacking Gaara during Chuunin exams).
That's why saying Itachi could blitz anyone with his speed without any speed-boosting jutsu and with his stamina is really naive. Many ppl state that he kept up with Naruto using Kyuubi's chakra - well, maybe he did, but he was an edo and that mean no muscles and no human body = no need to take your stamina and body endurance into consideration.
And that's just an example. Same goes for Tobirama, Minato and any other edo zombie - yeah, they may have been fast when alive, but not as fast as when they were in their Edo Tensei state.
