Katana Man just bisects him? Stain isn't really all that impressive, he was a threat before MHA started the power creep trajectory its been on since the para liberation army arc.
 
I'd give this to Stain more often then not. Katana Man isn't anything impressive in terms of speed outside his one move, while Stain was able to push the interns mainly based on his speed and agility. He also reacted to Iida's Recipro Burst.

It is possible that Katana could catch him with his speed move, but I'd say it's more likely that Stain needs the single nick he needs to win. (Especially in character)

Yeah, I'd tend to agree, I legitimately think Stain has this. I mean, Stain can certainly cut him, based on other things that hurt him. Katana Man, outside of his one move, legitimately lost in a one-on-one fight to Aki. Aki... never moves like Stain does, ever. Stain only needs to cut him once, and that's it, Katana Man has to land a debilitating blow. I don't see him landing that blow outside of his super move, and that super move has a lot of caveats.

Firstly, it has a noticeable "charge time." Every time he uses it, he has to crouch down first, pause for a little bit (which we know because characters say something or move before he charges every single time he does it) and then launch in one direction. He doesn't seem to be able to react too well in this moment either, given how he gets bisected on Denji's hidden leg kick without even realising it. I don't particularly see Stain standing still enough to even let him get the move off, he's far too mobile when he fights.

Even if he does use that one move... to be honest, just looking at how Stain himself fights, he has some pretty crazy speed of his own. In terms of just pure presentation, he is portrayed as more physically capable than Shigaraki, who has his own "vanish from view of combatants due to speed" moment. He does things like this:





Which if taken literally is ludicrously fast. This is what, eight large slashes in short enough succession that the ice seems to be falling all at once. He follows this up by seemingly running up 4 or so stories before the ice has a chance to fall any appreciable distance.

I don't think that Katana man's speed when doing his supermove is really quantifiable beyond "fast" unfortunately, but his speed when he isn't can certainly be pegged in a given range, and it is much slower than this.
 
Katana Man can win if he starts with that special move of his but more often than not I'll give it to Stain. The moment Stain licks Katana's blood, it's game over for him.
 
Unless the manga gives katana man some boosts of some sort, I give this to Stain more often than not. Bloodcurdle is bullshit and Stain's life and vigilante career in a world like MHA's means he's not going to be surprised by anything Katana Man could pull.

What speed range would you put it in?
I'm very curious about stain's quantifiable feats as there are no numbers for it other than *very fast

In addition to his exploits in vigilantes, when he escapes by jumping on buildings or when he charges at full speed against knuckleduster.

It also has noteworthy strength to cut through blocks of ice in a very short time and block blows that leave craters in the concrete.
