Characters don't fight to the best of their abilities when either they don't use their powers at all or efficiently. In a forum fight characters will use their powers with optimal strategy. This is why we debate in the first place (to see who wins if both are using their powers to the fullest with optimal strategy). Anything other than that is just Mickey Mouse stuff.And note: Your analogy is stupid. Everytime a sprinter runs, his times will be within 1-5% of each other. Spiderman dodging multiple machine gun fire and then getting hit by a cane makes your analogy look like dog sh!t.
How can fighting to the best of one's abilities have "nothing to do with how fast they will run or move", but yet has "something to do with a character using their speed period"? You either speak in circles, or are deliberately trying to confuse. Using their complete range of powers is very far away from insisting that they replicate their best feats each and every time. CIS ensures that averages are kept, because said averages are formed by a character's norm, not exceptions. Thor doesn't Godblast every single time he fights due to his character. Spiderman doesn't OHK Doc Ock every single time due to his character. Arguing against that is arguing against the CIS rule. Anything else is just Mickey Mouse stuff.
Are you at the stage where you call names after being logically shown up? Let me know if so, because my money is on me being better. The analogy was suitable. Your statement was that characters perform to the best of their abilities every single time. My countering analogy does not need to prove that there is a 50% differential (even though such analogies exist), I simply need to show that your statement was false. Once again, make the statement that Usain Bolt will run the 100m in at 9.72s or lower fron now on, or retract the nonsense you tried to pass off as logic. Of course, you could insinuate that Bolt isn't trying his best all the time. If so, you can take it up with the IAAF.
Oh, SS >>>>>> Superman. SS is faster.
And, Flash >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Superman. Flash is faster.
