Is there anything similar to Block but without the limitations but similar speed to Block?
No.

"Blit" is the next fastest Blitz drawing command. And it has no limitations and it's faster than QBlit.

But the problem with "Blit" is that there is no "easy and fast" way to clean the blits. Although you could do the same thing as with Blocks, doing 2 Blits; first Blit cleans the old Shape and second Blit draws the new one. But Blits are a lot slower than Blocks, so I believe that this would be slower than for example using the normal QBlit + Unqueue.

Yeah Space Invaders, The Puks In PacMan or Background Animations or Blocks in Mario etc etc
And also big boss enemies that don't move horizontally. For example the second level boss in Turrican 2 with it's few animating parts could have been drawn with Blocks.
