I don't see how anyone can reasonably argue that Thanos could "match" or "react" effectively against Superman moving at his blitzing combat speeds based on a few instances where he smacked someone bull rushing him in a straight line.
DS actually has movement super speed feats against both Superman and Flash, where he surprised both by moving at superspeed to intercept them (and in the case of Flash, ko him), yet he still has huge difficulties with Supes when he fights at blitzing speed. Of the 3 times Supes has blitzed him, he was only able to trap him and ko him in one instance with his omegas.
I don't think people know how powerful Supes' speed is, if they think Thanos could manage more than one lucky strike in close quarters. Only an omniblast would have any hope of touching Supes if he decided to blitz.
Against the syndicate he moved at speeds deliberately meant to break the sound barrier, so that he could stun them with a sonic boom.
Against the Elite he moved so fast he became invisible to the naked eye (as in invisible within the panels themselves). He also used his speed in the same fight to create gale force winds that collapsed the lungs of a magician that had an invulnerability enchantment on his outer body.
Now, a guy who can move so fast that he generates gale force winds capable of collapsing lungs within a close quarters fight, and who can move at speeds that turn him invisible on panel, is not going to have trouble blitzing the Titan.
Allan for the love of God.. You or Trick or Philo.. please post all the times Superman has blitzed RIGHT from the start of the fight.. using FTL speeds.. and KO'd someone of Thanos calibur without ever getting hit. You might me showings like this and we'll talk.. until then.. all this nonsense about Supes speed blitzing right away and KOing someone as durable as Thanos.. is well... something I feel like using to clean my back side.

Fallen One tried to blitz Thanos and he failed. Fallen One has FTL speed.

It takes time to accelerate to FTL speeds (even in comics). Just look at several of Surfer's feats. It clearly mentions that he is speeding up to warp speed, meaning that he can't achieve those speeds instantly. I actually calculated and proved that SS (based off his top feats only) never achieved light speed within the first 3 meters of travel, but after.
Superman on the other hand (besides the flashes) has one of the fastest instant speedups in comics. He has achieved FTL speeds within the first 3 meters of travel. In other words, he has a faster (larger) acceleration than most speedsters (including SS and excluding the flashes).
Lastly, SS doesn't have to blitz linearly. Remember when he fought the Probes? He blitzed everywhere around them. He was like in multiple places all at the same time. At let's not forget Superman can vibrate intangible with his speed too.

I don't get it Bada.
Help a brother out. Tell me what you mean.
By the way... if people don't think that Superman speed would be an issue to Thanos, something is seriously wrong with you. I'm not saying Superman is unhittable and I am not saying that Supes would win, even in this scenerio BUT Superman combat speed would more than likely be a major nuicance to Thanos.
Thanos best bet would be to have his shields up because his body would be twirling left and right due to Superman blitzing him from every angle.
As for the thread... Thanos still stomps but it will not be easy by any means imo.

Naah, its not a contradiction. What I am saying is Supes speed would be an issue but he just doesn't have the tools to drop Thanos. IMO, Thanos would win every last one of their fights BUT he would have to work extremely hard for it... EXTREMELY hard.
And the definition of a stomp imo is when someone is either getting over whelmed by vicotries or someone pulling a straight 10/10... it has nothing to do with how the fight is played out.

He means that FO hasn't proven himself to be as fast as Superman within close quarters (at least within the first 3 meters of travel). He's not saying FO isn't fast. For all we know FO could have only reached the speed of sound when Thanos stopped him. He accelerated from rest remember and didn't have much room to gain enough speed.

By the way, using the Fallen One scan isn't valid proof of anything. There wasn't any type of speed given for FO, so we can't assume that feat is legit enough to use in a combat situation against Supes.
Please tell me what isn't valid about the feat... We know The Fallen One's schtick is to go FTL and ram into stuff blowing it up.... He idd it to a Planet and He did it to a ship prior to TRYING is on Thanos. So if that is his move.. and we know that move.. means he's going that fast in other situations.. you wanna go.. well we don't know if he was going that speed when he tried it on Thanos.. WTF. Come on Carver.. sometimes you just talk nonsense. That is the Fallen One's thing and there is no reason to believe he wasn't do exactly what he did just prior. BTW.. there isn't only that situation... there are other situations of him dealing with speed and easily.

Wow... you can't use that logic Kurupt. That's like me saying "since Hulk has tagged Quick Silver his reflexes is 93000 mps. It doesn't work like that.
And again, that feat doesn't translate to Thanos being acapable of keeping pace with Supes... no matter HOW you look at it.

To be fair, ppl use that kind of logic with Darksied all the time. :-/
