Here's a "house rule" fix.  Play in centimeters and require 1 inch bases
on the fighters.

Oh, high speed affects fighters exactly like SMs.  If you can't
put your fighters within 12" of me they can't hit me.  If your
opponent insists on soap bubbles insist on playing cm with a
starting velocity of 30 and a floating table.
