Given that you use the same Dodge to duck bullets, lasers, and arrows speed obviously isn't something that would penalize your dodge. Besides, reliable is "hits better" not "hits faster". If your attack cannot be dodged, there's a Cosmic for that.

The other kind (also MA66 "Sliding a weapon along the enemy’s to bypass his
guard (a “glide” or coulé) is a Deceptive Attack.) sounds like something you would just use to bypass parries or blocks... "slide along" establishes contact too... so that's a key thing you wouldn't want to handwaive in a game of auras and electrified metal weapons...

This doesn't apply to what we're discussing. Power Parries attack the incoming attack directly. Power Blocks double your effective DR. You shouldn't be able to bypass either either those tricks.
