Your spirit leaves the body (but still lives) but is bfr in another place forever.If Im a superhero and I bfr a dangerous enemy to another dimension where they can't escape then I would consider that as defeating the enemy. As long as they can't achieve their goals and I stop them cold.
Catching criminals and taking them to jail is defeating them. They are bfr to jail.
Just, no, dude.
The criminals aren't bfr'd to jail, man! First they get beat up! If you beat someone up, you defeated them. If you just throw them away, and you don't follow to stomp on them, it's basically a forfeit. A BFR means there's no fight. No fight. No winner.
Quick question:
WHO HERE WOULD SAY WWHULK DEFEATED JUGGERNAUT!?
... I think I made my point. Actually, it really seems to depend on the characters if people here are gonna count BFR as a victory. Me, personally, I never count BFR as a victory. It's a win, but not a victory. A BFR avoids the damn fight. If raging Savage Hulk and Superman were in a 10x10foot adamantium chamber, Savage Hulk would rip Superman apart. Nowhere to go, nowhere to BFR to. Not enough space for speed to mean sh*t. Digressing...
Another question:
WHO HERE WOULD SAY GREEN LANTERN COULD DEFEAT DOOMSDAY BY BFR TO SPACE?
A little different, now, isn't it. Well all know, face to face, Doomsday would shred Green Lantern into pieces. Do we still say Green Lantern "defeated" Doomsday?
A fight is engaging the other dude in combat. And hitting him, hard, until he drops like a sack of brake pads and hits his head on the table. That's a sure-fire way to know you're the victor. But, if he can keep fighting but just can't reach you because the stairs are on fire and the elevator's not running, you haven't won, even if you're the one that threw him out the window. If he can keep fighting, it's not over. Oh, but 120 seconds pass, so you're the glorious victor?
Are we saying all-out Superman versus weakend Thor, one on one, is defeated if Thor BFR's Supes to a different dimension right off the bat?
Anyway, you get my point. BFR is a double-forfeit, really. I wouldn't say "draw" because that kinda sounds like both fighters at least gave each other an even number of a bunch of good shots. But I don't even think a samurai would commit seppuku after a measely BFR.
