@Haigon, Mugino probably only fired one Meltdowner at that time due to her arrogance.
I would just throw the cinematic time excuse here.

Also she uses electrons as a means for her Meltdowner I believe.

Also havn't you heard of something called wave-particle duality.
Light has matter but it is also a wave. Light moves at 3.0x10^8 m/s in a vacuum.
Also Electrons move essentially at the speed of light. Okay maybe 99.999999% of light's max speed in a vacuum.

You can slow down light by a significant degree sure it's still 10^6-8 meters per second but still manipulative. The light surrounding you does not move at max speed as it is slowed by the air and glass but you arn't able to detect that.

Thus even if Meltdowner does not move at the "speed of light", it is still a very fast moving beam unable detected by the average human without any kind of warning system before hand. You are able to dodge if you can predict her movements. Isn't that what Hamazura does?
