One of my friends said that Goku can not only beat Superman, but he's faster then the Flash.

I don't even..

Goku can teleport... So yes, he is faster.

I'm pretty sure he's beaten people who have teleported before. He's faster then time.
>>
>>64073828

Too lazy to find the pages, but Wally did indeed outrun someone who used a technique similar to Goku's teleport. Which is supposed to be, y'know, instantaneous.
>>
>>64073886
eh, instant transmission is a misnomer. he described it as transforming into light and moving at lightspeed
then again he used it to cross interstellar distances (and even go to a place in the afterlife) so maybe it IS instantaneous. If it's lightspeed he's way slower than flash, but flash going beyond lightspeed is bullshit of the highest caliber
>>
>>64075609
At least going beyond the speed of light got sort-of an explanation with the Multiversity map.
>>
>>64073588
Everyone just lets the flash think he's doing something. Actually he just as a super tolerance to inertia. Superman uses the flash's body like a marionette, but nobody can ever see it because he's too fast.
>>
>>64073588
But Goku has been murdered by attacks that Superman would brush off easily.
Also the Gokus energy attacks are powered by Ki and are said in the show and Manga to be natural energy and not Magic.

He literally taps into the very properties that govern all movement in the universe. If Goku can transmit somewhere instaneously, the time it takes him to get there is 0. Flash then can get there taking -1 units of time.

The moon is a whopping 4x smaller than the earth. It took Goku up till he was about 15 to get stronger than Roshi. Even then, this is mostly just based on assumption.

You're right it is assumption, but considering Goku beat King Picollo (the person that very easily kills Roshi) as well as his child (whom was stronger still) I don't think it's too far of a stretch to assume Goku is strong enough to destroy the planet at the start of Z.

Perhaps, but besides that point, is this argument implying superman hasn't been able to destroy the planet for...forever? i mean, it can be equally assumed that supes has the destructive power that Destroying the planet would be a piece of cake.

Teleportation isn't speed to begin with.

Ignoring the fact that Barry was just joking around in the imagine, and he's also the second slowest Flash -- Goku isn't faster than ANY Flash, except Jay.

The only planet buster he's fought is Darkseid, and he needed help to hold the guy back. Darkseid oneshotted him when they first tussled. I know their intro story is widely considered a shitty story, but canon is canon.

He's since fought Helspont, who he compared to Darkseid, and Mongul, who he compared to Weak Darkseid, but Mongul's planet busting is aided by his ship-planet and Helspont kicked Supes' ass twice, Supes came away with nothing to show for it.

Post-Crisis Supes has come out on top of planet busters, Nu52 Supes has only beaten one, and it was with a magic sword.

His teleport has a limitations though, first you have to know the place you're teleporting to or already had been there, can't remember exactly. Then you have to think that focusing his ki or something and bringing his fingers to his forehead also takes time.

It's easy, you create a character who's ability is literally "Always faster than The Flash, under any and all circumstances"

Or you make a god-like being who's the living personification of the speed force. Like, the speed force given physical form and sentience.
>>
>>64077913
>>64077904

To clarify. Wally did this with amp's from everyone on Earth combined with a dimension full of radiowave creatures. Teleportation still isn't really speed though. His physical movement is far greater than Goku's.

Regardless, he still ran across the universe in less than a week. He outran the big bang, big crunch, Krypton's explosion, etc.

The Human Race was basically just speed feat after speed feat across the universe.

Speed is a function of spacial distance over time though. Time is a dimension. Saying "faster than time" is like saying "faster than up."

Also, we're always traveling at the same speed through spacetime. Technically no one is faster than anyone else.
>>
>>64076097
It fucking says right there he can PERCEIVE an event that lasts an attosecond. Like you can perceive a single frame in a movie being different but that doesn't mean you fully see every bit of it. Though this image is misleading as fucking hell anyway

Besides, what does that even affect? Superman can hear people whispering on other fucking planets, does this mean he can't be beat?

Does that really matter when evidence shows that Superman is trillions of times stronger than Goku? If Goku kept at range he would win, but if he goes in for fist fight Superman will maul him.
>>

What evidence? All I know is that he can bench press a planet, go from Pluto to Earth very quickly, blow up a mountain by fisting it, and destroy an aircraft carrier by blasting it. I don't know anything about Goku's abilities, so why would I make any assumptions?
>>
>>64080086
Broly totally might be a galaxy buster
>>
>>64080332
He's not, that was all complete mistranslation. He was attacking the galaxy actually and the fight took place IN the galaxy he "destroyed" plus you can see tons of visible stars in the movie anyway.
>>
>>64080288
Any time Goku lifts something he struggles like a little bitch.

Goku's strength has always fallen behind his ki powers. At the beginning of Z when Goku was at least a moon buster he struggled with ten times gravity. In the Buu saga he struggled with 40 tons.

Goku's best feat is punching King Kai's planet in Battle of Gods which would give him roughly mountain level strength (AKA Billions of tons).

It's also worth noting that bench pressing a planet was not really straining Superman and in the fight against H'El he was stated to be fighting at an even higher level than that.

400 tons.
He was on the planet of the kai where he was under 10 times normal gravity.

That's just him without the super saiyan powerup. He lifted it but it was heavy as fuck.

After he went super saiyan 1 he could lift it like it weighed nothing and canonically they're base strength increases by 50.

Meaning....400 tons x 50 =?


PS The kai planet he was training on might have had greater gravity. Mainly because it was a training planet. I don't really recall.

>>64076160

Bull fucking shit
>>
>>64080594
It was never stated to have greater gravity ever. There's no reason to assume it had greater gravity.

400 tons is still tiny compared to Superman and you're not going to reach anywhere near Superman without a 50 multipliers. More than Goku has.

Most DBZ fans accept his and try to argue around it by saying that Dragonball Z characters punch harder than their strength level would suggest. This is contradicted in the Freiza saga when Frieza is able to hurt Goku with a bear hug, which shows their punches don't hugely outstrip their strength

1.All of those kai planets have greater gravity you fucking idiot.
2.400 tons was apparently the max he could lift after working out for what might have been days nonstop as a non super saiyan.
3.Once he went super saiyan ONE he was able to lift it with no problem what so ever. It was so light that it might as well have weighed nothing.


MEANING that at super saiyan level 3 he will be lifting millions of tons at speeds that equal or surpass the flash.
That's not even including how he can use ki to increase the speed and power of attacks. He's lifting that shit unpowered up and in base ss3 level.
>>
>>64081767
How on Earth did you get that because he could lift 400 tons with ease as SSJ1 that he'd somehow be able to lift millions of tons and be faster than Flash at SSJ3?

Are you say King kai's home planet wasn't 10x Earths gravity? That's just wrong. It also should be noted that after Frieza, practically no one trained outside boosted gravity because Bulma built the gravity chamber.

I love DC, I really do, but when trying to run VERSUS discussions around in my head, the only conclusion I can come to is any DC super, especially superman, must be disqualified from winning any versus on grounds of character consistency.

The likes of Goku has only ever had one man at the helm. Thus his character can proceed in a steady and predictable manner. Superman, like all DC supers, gets passed around writer to writer like a five dollar whore. It goes so out of hand they have to regularly reset THEIR ENTIRE UNIVERSE to set characters straight with disturbing regularity. So you get people trying to argue entirely different, and blatantly unrelated, versions of a character as proof of why they win. All Goku has is his one and only canon depiction. Hell, people will even bring in ELSEWORLDS tales for Superman as if they mean something.

Here's where the DQing comes in, though. So you have all these different versions, and it's unfair to use different versions to justify the same win. So you choose one and argue it. Well, which one then? There's no wiggle room here. Which version of Supes/DC you pick will make or break the fight. There is no fair way to decide what version of the character is used because there is no unbiased way to choose.

The only thing left is to go checklist style over every version of the character that ever has been and go
>Can defeat Goku
>Can't
>Can
>Can
>Can't

Which is entirely decided on the basis if that version of superman is capable of punching hard enough to hurt goku and only that.

>1.All of those kai planets have greater gravity you fucking idiot.

No evidence of that.

>2.400 tons was apparently the max he could lift after working out for what might have been days nonstop as a non super saiyan.

Again no evidence he had been working out for days. The other Kai's also regarded 40 tons as impressive.

>3.Once he went super saiyan ONE he was able to lift it with no problem what so ever. It was so light that it might as well have weighed nothing.

Yes, that clearly makes him able to tangle with a casual planet mover. Besides that Goku was clearly powered up when he lifted the weights as a Super Sayain, He was on fire and glowing.

You're exaggerating the SS multipliers as well. To get to millions of tons you'd need three 50 x multipliers.

Considering turning Super sayain 3 took Goku from slightly weaker than Buu to slightly stronger, its not 50 times.

No way in hell Goku is faster than the flash outside of IT. He has zero feats to suggest that.
>>
>>64080390

Except all he does is work out nonstop. And the fact that they say 40 tons on a planet with increased gravity has no actual bearing on the conversation.

>Yes, that clearly makes him able to tangle with a casual planet mover. Besides that Goku was clearly powered up when he lifted the weights as a Super Sayain, He was on fire and glowing.
Yes we all know what super saiyan is stupid.


>You're exaggerating the SS multipliers as well. To get to millions of tons you'd need three 50 x multipliers.
You apparently don't.
The reason I emphasized that he was only at super saiyan 1 seems to have flown completely over your head.

>Considering turning Super sayain 3 took Goku from slightly weaker than Buu to slightly stronger, its not 50 times.
Super saiyan one takes him to 50 times his base non super saiyan bodies strength. Dumbass.
And since he was only struggling with 400 tons on the kai world and lifted it with nothing but ease after..I would say that he's significantly stronger at super saiyan three.
Both because his base physical strength increased exponentially since then, and it is a multiplire that is..I think somewhere in the hundreds or thousands.

Barry's didn't die. Yes, he went into the Speed Force. Johnny Quick and Max Mercury were both in the Speed Force. Wally lived in the Speed Force for years. The only case of a Flash's soul going into the Speed Force is Bart, in which outside tech had to be used to restore his life.

Bart is the only one who is claimed by the Black Flash, the other being Johnny Chambers who dies in Flash Rebirth after touching Barry who had become the Black Flash due to Thawne's tampering.

Superman never died. The Eradicator takes his body and puts him in the Birthing Matrix to heal him. Pretty sure Eradicators entire shtick was to protect Kal.

Expounding on this further, there are about 300 BILLION stars in our galaxy. Now, I recall hearing that the mentioned galaxies in DB are decidedly smaller than average. As such, lets really low-ball it and go with 30 billion. Let's also figure that Broly spent 10 terran years ripping up the southern galaxy.

You've yet to prove it had increased gravity and 400 tons is still infinitesimal compared to Superman.

>Both because his base physical strength increased exponentially since then, and it is a multiplire that is..I think somewhere in the hundreds or thousands.

Hundreds of thousand times stronger!? That's going to help him against someone who can lift 5972 Sextillion tons.

Goku's probably still way weaker than Supes, but the way you've been harping on about the fact that "it's never stated" that Kai's planet is denser and more gravitational indicates negative things about everything you post
>>
>>64082962
They didn't move on, because none of them were claimed by the Black Flash.

If coming back to life was as simple as running out of the Speed Force, as Barry, Max and Johnny did, then they wouldn't have needed Brainy and a half-dozen other people to bring back Bart.

Pretty sure Flash: Rebirth was written before, or alongside Blackest Night -- was it not? In which the events of Barry's "death" were revealed/retconned.

>>
>>64082985
400 tons was his max before he went super saiyan. After he's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 tons and that's before applying ki tricks to increase speed and power and kaioken.
Which would leave him doing somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 tons.
And that's only super saiyan 1. There's technically 4 ish other super saiyan forms and fucking super saiyan god which is littearlly broken.

>>64083006
That's not the planet Goku was on. Goku lifted the 40 tons on Grand Kai's planet. Which was as far I can tell a normal planet of normal size and gravity.

King Kai's planet was destroyed by cell and not rebuilt till some time after the Buu saga.

The others you listed trained at Kai's like Goku in filler, where they had the Ginyu force job to them after Goku and Vegeta wasted them. After Frieza gravity stopped being the benchmark except for Vegeta's brief training in Bulma's gravity chamber thing to get to SS. They switched back to having them move heavy shit to show power levels, like Goku's magic weights and the sword the old Kai was sealed in. Regardless they never showed the capacity to lift planets.
My 2 cents are Superman's stronger, Flash is faster, and Goku has better energy projection. Fight goes to the writer's favorite, since in their own books at their best they'd all have a friendship/speed-force/superman asspull that would let them win depending on the circumstances.

No because Flash, Batman and Superman aren't Marvel characters, they're not SUPPOSED to be weak and relatable. They're mythological figures, it's like calling Hercules or Gilgamesh Mary Sues.

The stories are about the characters performing great feats and how the world and its characters react to their influence. Try reading All-Star Superman, Mark Waid's Flash, Morrison's JLA, most post-Crisis Batman, or pretty much any DC comics at all you fucking casual.

He's TECHNICALLY faster, since instant transmission is instant (not the speed of light, literally instant. Faster than any measurement of time we have).
But outside of that, yeah, Goku isn't faster.

Flash could only go back in time with the cosmic treadmill or with more speed force from others added to his own at best. For the most part only Zoom was the one that could properly time travel.

You're friend doesn't know anything about Superman OR Flash. Dragonball Z also has an autismal fanbase surpassed only by Sonic and MLP.

>>
Those numbers are invalid. Goku wasn't powered up at all during that, as he shows no aura for the entire scene. Therefore the scene gives no valid data, as we don't know how much more he could have increased his power without transforming.

A much more logical way to calculate that is by converting power level to weight, as punching strength was, (obviously) shown to scale evenly with energy attacks. Then you run into the problem of his power level being entirely unknown past his Frieza saga level of 150 million.

Fyi, in the Daizenshuu it's stated that SS2 is twice as powerful as SS1, and SS3 is 4 times as powerful as SS2. No comment has ever been made on the power of SS4. Toriyama also stated in an interview that SS1 isn't really a x50 increase, he said he doesn't have an exact number, but he always thought of it as a 100x-200x power increase. That's why in GT General Rildo states that SS1 made Goku 100x more powerful. If you wish to fact check this btw, you can find the information on Kanzentai.com in the battle powers section.

I personally have made my own power level calculations, which I believe to be as mathematically accurate as possible. Assuming a linear multiplicative increase, (based on known power level growth from the Saiayn-Frieza saga), by my calculations Goku as a SS4 post 100 year time skip in GT should have a power level of about 939 quinoctogintillion. By my other calculations of how much power level converts to strength, he should be able to lift the known mass of the universe about 32 octosexagintillion times. If you want that in tons, you're gonna have to do some conversions. For reference, there's 9 nonillions Earths worth of solar mass in the known universe, and the weight of the Earth can be found on wikipedia. So from there you just multiply 32 octosexagintillion by 9 nonillion, and multiply that number by the weight of the Earth. If you aren't familiar with these numbers . It's simple
arithmetic really. Have fun!

To be fair, he doesn't always need to have to have previously visited the spot he wanted to instant transmission to, like he did when trying to find Broly, or new Namek.

Did you seriously try to claim glowing monkey balls that explode follow the laws of physics?

I don't think they acknowledge physics in DBZ or DB

Information processing is actually bounded by the speed of light. Any signal can travel only as fast as the speed of light. So if light would only travel the distance of a molecule in one attosecond and the dude can actually think that fast his brain would have to be MUCH smaller than a molecule to do any processing in this timeframe.

It's speedforce, I ain't gotta explain shit.

That's because they're faster than the speed of light, obviously.

itt: people who don't read the flash and people who don't read dbz

dbz has the worst power creep of anything, probably. given people get 10x as strong as the last arch and old characters just can't compete at all. the thing is there's nothing to really compare it to after db, because knives and bullets don't ever get used, so it's super easy to have these discussions with them going nowhere.

i mean if you wanted to have a real pissing contest pit flash against demonbane or super ttgl why not

these threads are shit
