Speedblitzing

Not sure if this is "versus" worthy, but I think it is as it pertains to a technique/tactic that people attribute to characters used in the versus forum, so I think

Which characters in comics (DC, Marvel, Indy) actually speedblitz the most as shown on panel? I'm curious as to what other posters would actually define a speedblitz in their own words and which characters actually do this in character. I think some people define a speed blitz as character A moving/flying at great speed and delivering a chain of strikes before character B can adequately respond ie, "Combo to KO". And I've seen others use the term to describe a character making a single attack at such speeds that another character can't respond to.

What do you define a speedblitz as and how often is it done in character?

The first

I would call the latter a sucker punch / lucky punch, if he can counter agfter the first hit.

Quicksilver!

But keep in mind that 'character B' doesn't necessarily have to be KO'd for them to have still gotten blitzed.

One or two fast punches isn't speedblitzing however.

See the example. That's a fine example of a speedblitz.

He's definitely done it several times. However, blitzing is not usually his 'go to' tactic, as it is the Flash Family's.

no love for Cass? She may not be what you think of immediately 'cause she doesn't have high meta level speed, but she blitzes her opponents A LOT!.. even more than people like Superman.

In DC Flash's obviously. No one has more screentime than a Flash when it comes to speedblitz.

Marvel's traditional speedsters don't have as much screentime, but of those it's gotta be Quicksilver. Other types of speedsters (flyers) would be Nova. He's always using that part of his powerset to blitz.

What about Supes?

He's speedblitz are rare, but he does have them. Two examples, was Supes going against Brainiac Doomsday, and Imperiex Prime.

A viable speedblitz would be both me thinks. Multiple strikes on one opponent before they adequately retaliate or multiple strikes on a group before they adequately retaliate.

Flashes and Quicksilver are the only ones imo. The rest have them on rare occassions.

Have a question... some people have different definitions of speed blitz. Look at Gladiator in this scan and tell me if you would consider this a speed blitz.

Not especially. Looks more like skill to me than actual speed.

It seems DC does it more than Marvel

The reason I asked is because he was carrying someone and he was some distance away from Rachel and as soon she said "hey" he was right on her with a punch.

He basically covered the distance instantly.

i'm not so sure; there's no hint of superspeed motion. we don't know how much time passed between those two panels, and tbh, if we started allowing pages like that as speed feats, a lot of other characters that don't even technically have super-speed feats would suddenly have dozens to work with.

Gotcha.

I was just wondering.

Hey, if we could use it, Cyclops would be a speedster. mmm
