I define 'fight' as one on one ready set fight. Actually I knew SS has done some of the things. That is why I was slick and said "...in a fight."SS can't do the astral plane thing in a fight due to him leaving his body exposed or him leaving the battlefield rule. From that scan that wasn't what I define to be a fight (as in one on one ready set fight).
Also the other poster implied that SS can just send someone into the future with a mere gesture (his statement implied it). He didn't claim how. He purposely stated it in such a way as to be misleading. I knew this and thus called him on it.
There were other claims not yet attempted to be proven though.
I concede that he can do such things to certain beings but not how the OP implied how he would do them.
He's not leaving his body exposed because he brings his opponent with him, so there's not really anyone to attack it unless an opponent has some kind of character specific ability to account for it. And how he pulled it off was far more relevant in regards to whether or not it's a valid tactic for him in standard combat because he actually did it when he was already losing a fight.
Now whether or not it would constitute leaving the battlefield is another matter entirely and certainly up for debate, my point was just that 753 showed that Surfer CAN use the tactic in combat.
