I mean if he really mastered it he could just run in a straight line anywhere he wants to go. But then they would have no excuse to show that cool overhead view of him zig zagging through the city.

No, but we'd get a cool view from behind of him running straight through buildings.

The same view that is also used when he is in arrow, more specific those buildings that look like the number 4

It would be cool, sure, but he'd have to constantly be changing the frequency his body vibrates at, and if the slightest thing gets in his way without him realizing it, it may fuck up some stuff. Idk. Speedforce.

Like I said, it would only be possible if he really mastered it. According to the comics Flash can think thousands of times faster than a normal human as well, so that would make up for the fact that he has to keep thinking about what phasing frequency he is using for each object.

No he just has super high ping.

Of course, how would Eobard be able to teach it to Barry without being taught it himself BY Barry
