Also, explain to me how shifting his momentum to other objects was what allowed Mercury to do the "spinny tornado thing"? Especially when there were no other objects to speak of. Considering his name and allusion, I'd say supersonic speed would most likely be his Semblance, something he didn't use against Yang because he was trying to throw the fight. Though he'll undoubtedly use it the next time they clash, which probably won't be until Volume 7 or so. Can't wait for it. I recall them saying that experienced Huntsmen and Huntresses are really fast, which is why Qrow and Winter zoomed around the courtyard in that one part of their fight. Also, Oobleck is incredibly fast.

I think one thing that Merc does is that he can probably fire jets of air from his prosthetics, which can give him a boost. We saw him slide across the floor during his match against Yang using air or something, after all.
