Actually PR from looking at that scan it does appear some kind of speedblitz was performed. The girl realizes Glads is pwning that guy and the next instant her ass gets laid out before she can react even though Glads was more than a dozen feet away.
It's not a high end speedblitz, but a speedblitz nonetheless.

That's what I picked up from it.
Its kind of similar to this except with less panels.
I don't know if you would consider this a blitz either. He hits Cannonball with a pole... hits him some more while he was flying off from the impact from Glads hit and almost instantly he raps him up with the same pole.

Does a blitz always have to consist of punches or can it be something else? Is there a difference between speed blitz and just a blitz? Does a speed blitz consist of someone fly at a person at tremendous speeds and landing repeated blows and a blitz being just someone flying at you with high speeds landing just a single hit?
This question is for anyone.

Honestly though; hitting someone in one panel, then striking someone else across a room in the next is something that even low metas can do.

But even if you go down this road, how would you quantify it? Before she can react? If so, we're going to see a lot more speed feats showing up on the forum, even from people without stated super-speed.

that one is more a speedblitz.

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?

He's speedblitz are rare, but he does have them. Two examples, was Supes going against Brainiac Doomsday, and Imperiex Prime.
He also "speed dashed" Parasite and threw him into a swamp or something when a bunch of his villains gathered to take him down.

It is canon, yes. Happened more than once, too.
i think a few characters can blitz--they just don't do it all the time, but enough for it to be considered IN CHARACTER. at least in SOME of the battles. ie--in a battle with thor, superman might blitz a few times. i think when you figure how many out of 10 a character would take, you try best you can to take that into consideration. the problem arises when you want a winner of just ONE battle. IS superman likely to blitz someone in ONE battle? i honestly don't know. seems it could go either way. if not--because he DOES blitz a lot--not sure there are really any other characters aside from flash who are likely to blitz in character for a majority of the time.
i'd call a blitz simply an attack an opponent can't initially defend and has to weather at least temporarily--unless they have a shield already in place.
that's where blitzes get tricky because it comes down (often) to someone physically attacking BEFORE someone can even THINK defense. had a good go with ODG between superman and loki and i took the blitz stance and odg and i got into it over whether loki could react in time to defend it. it was fun. lol but i think that clearly defines the notion of a blitz--at least on the forum imo.
I generally see speedblitzing as two-fold:
- the attacker quickly gets within striking range.
- the attacker delivers multiple strikes before the opponent can react. Usually this is indicated by multiple images or some other visual means to deliberately, unambiguously indicate high speed.
If the attacker rushes in to deliver 1 or 2 strikes, I see that more as a bullrush.
Also, IMO, a speedblitz doesn't necessarily have to be a close-quarters / h2h attack, ala Superman or Flash. I believe the Surfer, eg, has speedblitzed whole starship fleets by zipping/darting about, striking one ship after another (again, he is speedblitzing the whole fleet, which may otherwise involve bullrushing each individual ship).

I think it's in character for most people with superspeed to deliver some kind of blitz, be it h2h, blast based whatever. the percentage of times it appears in comics should be equal to what is attribtued to them in the 'out of ten' system, barring nonsensical events that only fuel the plot like forgetting one's pwoerset ina situtation where a character's personality would dictate he took action.

Nice feats.
Have a question.
Has anyone in Marvel or DC fought so fast that it appears as if time stopped?
Another question... has anyone ever fought to the point where the entire fight was invisible to the necked eye. Not just a blitz at blinding speed... I'm referring to an entire fight taking place at invisible speeds.
I see a lot of people typing "character "A" won't be able to see character "B" during a fight but I can't think of anyone doing this minus Flash.
Does anyone have feats of characters doing this?

Zoom and Flash obviously. Makkari Eternals Vol 3 i think (gaiman run). The eternals were slowly regaining memories of their past lives and Mak did it while not fully aware of his full power. He stopped a hail of gunfire aimed at civilians. He commented to himself on why the time seems to have stopped. IIRC he plucked the bullets in the air and put them in a bucket?? Dont remember exactly.
btw were all the links working?

Zoom, Flash, and Superman come to mind.
I remember Zoom and Flash doing it but when has Supes done the "fighting so fast time stopped or fighting so fast the necked eye was unable to see him".
Example... if I were to place Flash, Zoom, and Supes in a arena, would they be able to fight an equal opponent to the point where the entire audience wouldnt be able to see what's going on the entire fight?
I remember Zoom and Flash running around the planet but would they be able to perform that in such a tight spot?
