I guess I'm the expert or something? I'm almost positive you guys can make educated decisions for yourselves. But, well... here's my opinion.

1. A nanosecond is not even close to being over 1,000x the speed of light. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, yes, but a second is unfeasibly smaller than any units faster than light as well. A nanosecond is commonly referred to as a "light foot," because in 1.0167033621639674471063578257196 nanoseconds, light travels approximately 11.8 inches, nearly a foot. Sonic says the following: "...but who pushed the outside of the envelope at the last nanosec - yours truly!"

Sounds like he pushed an envelope closed? A simple Google search will result in the average size of an envelope: 4'1/8 by 9'1/2. Assuming Sonic closed the top of the envelope along the long side in one nanosecond, he is traveling over 80% of the speed of light. Relativistic+, sure. But not MFTL.

2. Milliseconds are a mere one thousandth of a second. If Sonic can move over 80% of the speed of light, milliseconds are nothing to him.

3. Whether or not that Metal Sonic feat is correct or not is up to interpretation. There's a comment that debunks it, making it only Massively Hypersonic+, and another that makes it merely High Hypersonic+. Whether you choose to believe the original calc is up to you, but at this point, the highest base Sonic can be is FTL+ or MFTL.

4. Finally, to defend where Sonic is, that Metal Sonic feat is rather inconsistent. And Sonic needs consistency. So far, the nanosecond feat supports his two FTL statements and two FTL demonstrations. Thus, a high-end FTL+ or MFTL feat (at best, mind you, considering there are more things to account for) is rather inconsistent, as I said. Thus, it could be an outlier.

This is just my opinion. Please, formulate your own. Of course, you can use mine, but don't let it influence your decisions entirely.
