No, Wally's always had limitations on his speed, it just wasn't as noticeable until we see both Barry and Bart go at such a high speed. That's pretty much why I couldn't fully enjoy the episode. Bart is an awesome character and all, but he totally rubbed it in Wally's face just how fast he can really go (even if it wasn't his intention to do it). And that line:

"You just don't have the Allen eyes."

I cringed when he said that. My mind goes back to the comics and how Wally always saw Barry and Iris as his parents and that he was jealous of Dawn and Don because they were actually Barry's kids. Another thing that kind of pissed me off was how many more interactions Barry with Bart had in one episode than he did with Wally in the whole first season of YJ.

I feel like Wally's jealous of Bart. He wasn't exactly opening the welcome mat and his tone was mostly snarky when he talked to Bart ("Don't make me hurt you.") I also feel like there's going to be a bout of sibling rivalry.
