Two people are in the same room. If one person can do 20 push-ups in a minute and another can do 30, is the person doing 30 travelling faster through time? Some people can perform more actions in a given amount of time than others, this is the effect that turn meter represents. Like 2 runners: a couch potato and an Olympic sprinter.
Turn meter reduction represents getting staggered or distracted.
Han shoots first because he preps the shot and shoots before others even realize they are supposed to be fighting: sneak attack.
That's how I see it.
The actions of two people doing push-ups is irrelevent, they move in the same exact time as each other. Their speed is dependent on their biological makeup, not time. Our toons have no biology, they are dependent on their turn meter to take an action. Their turn meter is dependent on filling at a set rate, which occurs over time. Each has a different set rate, so each has a different time.
Let's suppose that your person who is doing 30 push-ups per minute is next to a black hole in our universe, in a gravity well lets also say that his time is slowed to half of what the other person experiences, who is outside the effects. Now they are on different timelines, just like our toons.
Now we have a more accurate representation of what is going on in our SWGOH universe. We have set speed values for our persons, the faster person does 30 push-ups in one minute, slower person does 20.
Lets have them start doing push-ups, and start a timer. Let's also say that they can observe each other.
Who finishes first? Well, to the person who does push-ups slower, outside the gravity well, it will look like the person inside the well is doing his push-ups at half speed. One minute has passed for him and the person inside the slowed time has only done 15 push-ups.
To the person inside the gravity well looking at the person outside, it looks like he is moving at double his normal speed. When a minute has passed, the person outside the effect finished his 20 push-ups 30 seconds ago, and has done 20 more.
But the guy who does 30 per minute is faster right? Not in this case. It depends upon your perception of time.
