Speed isn't everything but it does help a lot. I mean if you're only fast and you fight a guy who is only durable but slow you are bound to tire before you actually hurt him. But if you're faster, and you're able to hurt the guy with punches then it's pretty much going to be your win unless he has a way to counter your speed. Though in most anime the winner of a fight is usually both faster, and stronger with some exceptions.

True True, I see what your both saying. A balance between speed and power lead to victory for sure. It just seems that alot of people here believe that speed leads to instant victory.
Not really. Colossus couldn't hit him sure but somebody like Flash who is just a normal human and you take away the whole IMP ability and stealing speed it would become a real stalemate. Or the first one to tire which wouldn't be Colossus. If you're unable to hurt a person while being faster speed means nothing really. Kenshin could probably blitz Colossus and stay away from him but he isn't going to be winning a fight because he has no way to hurt him. I think the best showing of something like that was Spider-Man blooding his hands while blitzing Hulk.

Flash hits hard with out the imp, has plenty other ways to win a fight and collosus would tire way before Flash.
Basicaly speed is every thing in a fight. With some one like Flash unless you are as fast or have an ability which would give you the advantage he will always win, of course there is a power cut off where speed won't really matter. It all depends on the context and the characters involved but speed is one of the best attributes to have.
Colossus does get tired but has better stamina than a normal human. The flash's strength comes from his speed, he has normal human lifting power but at the speed he moves he hits with Superman like strength. Just speed is about the only thing you need in a fight, how do you beat some one you can't hit. Depending on the other persons power set just speed might be useless.
Depends on the character and their abilities. If you're so fast your opponent can't hit you and you're strong enough to deal them significant damage, then you'll win. But if you're not strong enough to deal them any significant damage, then you can't possibly win.
Also, if your opponent has a powerful area of effect attack, then they can use that. For example, Vegeta blowing himself up in DBZ, or Frieza destroying Namek.

Eh I've not seen any strength feats for Flash so I thought IMP was his only real strength thing.
If you can't hurt your opponent it doesn't really matter how fast you are. Flash could run circles around Juggernaut be he can't hurt him. Quicksilver can run circles around Colossus but I doubt he can hurt him. Spidey has blitzed Hulk before and only ended up blooding his own knuckles. Speed without the power to hurt your opponent is useless. Unless your opponent is an idiot that you can trick to hurting themselves or something.
