Yeah maybe, the whole blaze and chirrut is just annoying. It's like fighting two times at once.
Still question how blaze got two moves before FOT got one. 197 speed should at least get him one turn.
What did you not understand from Baze gains TM when you give buffs to your allies? You give them all Stealth with R2? Congrats - their Baze will now get a turn. You give them all Ackbar's special buff? Good, Baze gained a ton of TM once again.
You are right of course, but I think the confusion lies with the difference between speed and TM push mechanics like Baze (and also the fact that people still love to complain about Chaze even though they fell from dominance like every character always has).

I did rs fire, ashoka mediate, cls swipe, and ackbar genius. Blaze went after after CLS and then again after ackbar. +25 % turn meter for ackbar genius is not enough to catch a 197 speed FOT. Since he went after CLS all those TM gains are gone and starts back with +25 from ackbar. So how did blaze get the other 75% TM to go before FOT again?
TM push (percent turn meter gain) is far more effective than straight speed. It's the reason JE made droids awesome back in the day, the reason SA was such a huge addition to Sith teams, the reason Rex lead dominated the meta, and, yes, the reason Baze seems to go all the time against buff heavy teams in spite of his abysmal speed.
TLDR: Always be aware of push mechanics and TM removal, they're more effective than your base speed.
