>The user strikes the target with tough punches as fast as bullets. This also raises the user’s action speed.This is what Bullet Punch is described as. It is a series of punches thrown fast. It is not a teleport. It is not a dash. It strikes in melee range. And with a priority of +1, is not faster than extreme speed.
>The user charges the target at blinding speed. This move always goes first.This is what Extreme Speed is described as. It moves the user at blinding speed. It is practically a teleport. It is an extremely potent dash. It delivers its payload in melee range, but it can be utilized from long range to reach the enemy instantly. And with a priority of +6, it is ridiculously faster than Mach Punch and Bullet Punch.
In close quarters combat, when the pokemon are already engaged in melee, it makes sense for punches like these to land first. They are fast punches. They are meant to strike quickly.
In medium-long range combat, if you try to punch the enemy you will be laughed at and promptly die.
Ash made children stupid. So stupid that they think punching can hit someone 50 feet away. So stupid that they think if they punch the air then they'll hit the enemy before a gout of flames reaches them.
Side note: Arcanine is cooler than your Ash's gay rabbit-loving dog.
