Why are you getting so hostile. Feel like I got you backed in a corner.
Lol, not at all. I am hostile because two years ago, I said this:

I think it depends on how many showings they have.
I have, on MANY occasions, said we take BOTH feats AND fights.
Then what do you then go and say?

Which is a barefaced lie. So, I'm hostile NOT because you have me supposedly backed into a corner. But because you keep misunderstanding and misrepresenting me.
First appearance is the thang, huh?Daredevil beating Ultron would be considered a low showing, not an average. Batman going first cuff against Zoom is a low showing, not an average. This is the problem. You dont know how to weigh averages and your normal showings which is the reason you stick with cheese showings. If Quicksilver gets tagged 99% of the time, this would be an average for him. This just means on average, he just doesn't utilize his speed the way he should and this can not be ignored.
Here's the problem with Quicksilver (and others):
Full Capacity
It is assumed that each contestant will fight to his/her best ability, but still within the character's personality, unless specified otherwise. That means they will use any powers at their disposal. For example, even though The Flash doesn't clock each of his own opponents in the first millisecond in his own comic, it is assumed that is a viable tactic on this board since it is a proven fact that he possesses that level of speed.
Forum rules stipulate we DO ignore the 99% of the times Quicksilver gets tagged. You have a problem with it, get a petition going. GG.
Surfer is a casual planet buster that can go intangible, create duplicates of himself, absorb energy, matter manipulate, bfr, trap people in his board, snatch your soul out of your body, shape shift (the list is long). I haven't seen a single marvel fan with some kind of sense go into a Surfer thread saying he would do all of this. No Herald could beat a Surfer utilizing all of his abilities.
Because what you don't get, is the different powerset this is to speed or intelligence. Look, no one is arguing Flash or Quicksilver stabs opponents at FTL speeds, or gouges their eyes out at FTL speeds. It's certainly in their powersets to do so. But their mindset and characters stop them from doing so. Same with Surfer.
The guy just screamed and ripped a hole in space. What I'm getting at here is, the same people that stick with "certain" type of cheese fts dossnt apply that across the board (Darksaint, ABHI, etc...) whereas they mention low showings from fights to justify it not being a valuable debating tactic when it's used against the character they are debating against. Fights count. Learn how to differentiate low showings from average and high showings.
When did I argue against Surfer not screaming and ripping space holes??
1000000000% agree, fights DO count. See how you once more misunderstand me?
Maybe this analogy will help you.
Look, you're the one who keeps saying Lanterns are weak against bricks. Why? Because EVERYTIME they go up against a brick, they get their asses handed to them.
Heralds are weak against Batman (and streets). Why? Because everytime a herald and street fight with each other, the heralds suddenly become weakened to the point that the streets can affect them.
