===Supernatural Reflexes=== Despite lacking superspeed, Cricket has vastly accelerated reflexes.<ref name="Cast2" /><ref name="list">Cricket '''Vastly increased reflexes, personal sonar that could be keyed to disrupt others' senses''' E88 - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgn9rgYutpBqJg1lSBP3NHnq9WK4ToLq9K4ys_I4cRc/edit#gid=0 Parahuman List,] Bolded edit by Wildbow</ref> She has enough reaction time to dodge bullets from a target that she is facing and quickly move towards them.<ref name="7.8e1" /><ref name="7.8 eDodgeBullets">I felt a surge of relief at realizing that Cricket had abandoned her hostage in favor of going after Grue, to initiate a brief exchange of blows. Unfortunately, my relief was short lived, because the combat wasn’t brief in a good way. Grue fired the gun twice, and twice she dodged the bullet, standing only ten and seven feet away from the barrel. It wasn’t superspeed, either, though she was quick. Her movements were simply too efficient, and if there was any delay in her reactions, I wasn’t seeing it.<br><br>He swung a punch as she closed in. Cricket leaned out of the way, then swung her scythe to rake him across the chest. From the way he staggered, I knew she’d struck home. He jabbed, she avoided it as though it were easy, then followed up with two more swings, and he failed to avoid either. He staggered back, clutching one arm to his chest.<br><br>He blanketed the area around them in darkness, filling the clearing, and Cricket immediately switched to swinging blindly and ferociously around herself as she advanced toward where Grue had been. Grue backed away, but this had the unfortunate effect of putting him closer to Hookwolf, who was doing much the same as Cricket. Grue turned and ran to create some distance and avoid being hemmed in. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/buzz-7-8/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.8]]</ref> Cricket is less effective at dodging things she cannot see. Although she detected [[Skitter]] via a radar pulse under [[Grue]]'s darkness and swung her weapon at the incoming cape, Skitter still managed to stab her with a knife.<ref>When I was sure I could move without falling over, I lunged, knife in hand.<br><br>I’d hoped that if I was quick about it, I could act before she used her radar again. I wasn’t so lucky. She was already moving by the time I realized she’d made another pulse of noise, scythe points whipping around toward the side of my head, where my mask provided only partial coverage. I had too much forward momentum to avoid walking straight into the incoming blades.<br><br>I half-fell, half ducked, and instead of driving my knife into her back like I’d intended, I wound up burying it in the side of her thigh. Whatever technique let her dodge bullets, it apparently didn’t work if she couldn’t see.<br><br>As much as it might have hurt, she didn’t waste an instant in hefting her weapon to retaliate and swinging down at my head. I wasn’t in a position to get out of the way.<br><br>Grue caught her by the wrist mid-swing and pulled her off-balance before she could follow through. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/buzz-7-8/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.8]]</ref> [[Shadow Stalker]] sniped an occupied Cricket with her crossbow.<ref name="9.6 e1" /> While forcing Cricket to dodge some bullets, [[Shatterbird]] controlled the flight of a glass shard to hit Cricket.<ref name="I11Ee3" />
