Zoom said he couldn't make a speed mirage between two entire Earths and across cities. RF  only  ever made a convincing speed mirage to people that cannot percieve things at Super Speeds when in or around a building and only while in that area.

Why is that a confirmantion that RF is faster than Zoom when Barry did it early in season 2 yet still got his ass handed to him by Zoom?!

Zoom would of needed to run into the breach, put on the Jay Garrick persona, do stuff with them, and then return to Earth Two while putting back on his Zoom suit, then return fast enough that the Jay Garrick persona doesn't fade away at all; even to Barry Allen who could indeed see people moving faster than him.

Zoom couldn't create a speed mirage over that vast of a difference, so he made the speed mirage during the whole "I suddenly have to take a nap." part.

If Barry going Mach 2 is able to create a speed mirage then Zoom moving fast enough to nearly equal Mach 13ish then he can create speed mirages just like the significantly slower Barry could, but not between entire worlds and across cities.

If a character who is located in some far off distance, like across the planet or something, and can easily outrace Barry when they encounter one another says he can't make a speed mirage over that distance, whereas Barry and Eobard made ones within like 100ft of themselves at most, would you consider those two faster than the other individual?

I wouldn't, as the other side of the planet is a bit further than the distance of around S.T.A.R labs that Eobard did, or the 20ft in the train station that Barry pulled it off in.
