I'm pretty sure there was PIS surrounding that event - something about her energy being attuned to Celestial's. It shouldn't be taken as an overall example of her power if their weakness was her strength. It's less about her power and more about her tactical advantage against that one specific type of character.

for starters, how about rupturing the shell of a Celestial. could Hal top that feat with his constructs? no.so what if he is high herald & beyond susan in your opinon? he doesn't get a forum win by default because of his herald status. beleive it or not, he actually has to be able to defeat susan when she is not holding back at all. a focused brain bubble would bypass hal's shields as his shields essentially create a thin membrane of protection over the outside of his body. a focused brain bubble attack from within is essentially a teleported construct which would expand from within. a construct capable of rupturing a Celestial's shell. hal loses, high herald or not.
Krona Buster. Hal had summoned enough willpower to override not just the ring's "no Guardian killing" perogative, but managed to shoot Krona in spite of him being in control of Ion, y'know, the entity whose energy comes from all the willpower in the universe.
Further more, you realize the context of Susan rupturing the shell of a Celestial? I hope to God you do.
Not my opinion, but fact, really. He gets the win based off of his feats and capabilities, which frankly, shit on Invisible Woman. Believe it or not, Susan actually has to deal with one of the greatest Green Lanterns of all time. Any of the four Earth Lanterns merc Susan, all of which with various degrees of ease, and that's whether she's blood lusted or not.
It would be a great idea if you actually researched some of the characters you pit against one another instead of just randomly throwing them in threads.

that feat is PIS of the highest order. either Krona was completely incompetant with the Ion entity, or it is PIS. otherwise this feat basically claims that hal has more willpower than the entire universe. if this were so, and this feat was representative of hal's power, he would be unmatched and unrivaled....basically the Spectre's (with full presence) equal. we know this is not so, because batman beats hal up sometimes.
And I sure do know the context of susan rupturing the Celestial's shell....
& it is a hell of a lot more legitimate than the feat you listed. attempts to diminish that feat are ridiculous & coming across as grasping at straws. there is no trickery or overt PIS involved in that feat. susan's energy
was a vibrational match of sorts to the Celestial. so what? In the sane vein, why don't we throw out your GL feat because Krona's energy was specifically weak against hal's vibrational frequency?? susan's feat is still a incredible feat no matter how you decide to frame it. thor, at his best could only dent a Celestial's armor.
and it would be great if you, likewise, researched the characters you so
rapidly decree below the formidability of some character, who by virtue of bestowed status is entitled to an automatic win. IW wins this, I don't give a crap if you don't agree. nothing could prevent her from bypassing hal's shields & expanding a force bubble. and hal couldn't penetrate her shields before she does. period.

So, basically, what you're saying here is that Susan's feat is legitimate and as such valid when determining her power output but Hal's is not because you deem it PIS, even though power rings have a storied history of going far beyond the norm when the situation calls for it.
Riiiiight....
Moving on, Hal wins this not just because he's a high herald. He wins this because of his feats which trump Susan's as a whole. She's invisible to the naked eye? So what? Power ring finds her. She puts up shields? So what? Power ring busts through her defenses. She goes for bubble in the brain? So what? Hal's power ring shields him from that avenue of attack.
It's a good thing you don't give a crap about how I don't agree with your arbitrarily declaring Susan the winner in your thread based off of nothing substantial.
Read some Green Lantern.

no, I'm saying hal's feat is overt PIS for obvious reasons...while susan's
feat is a more legimate feat which must ALSO have the circumstances taken into consideration when determing her power level. obviously she doesn't get full credit since her frequency match was a significant factor. it is still an awesome display of power regardless of that. In the same vein, even if hal's feat wasn't utter PIS...krona's weakness against hal could be attributed to a weakness against hal's vibration frequency. a plot devise not unlike susan's feat. too bad the PIS came first.
you have a lot of "so whats?" there....too bad they don't see the forest for the trees. hal's shields create a protective membrane covering the OUTSIDE of his body. his internal body, brain, etc, is not protected by his
shields; his shields would be useless against a construct generated within his body. that's exactly what susan can do while simutaneously cutting off his air supply to further ensure the win while he attempts to locate her. it's unlikely hal would even locate her before she decideds to end the fight.
there's nothing arbitrary about that. you want me to read more gl? take your own advice & read more about susan. try the future foundation. now that's an awesome book.
Hal wins.
Sure, you could argue that the ring given to him by Sinestro is weaker. (maybe it has no auto-defences?) But I don't buy it.
So it is essentially pre-reboot Hal against IW. Nothing about it seems to have changed. And whilst you may say that the auto-shields only protect the outside of the body, seeing as they also protect against telepathic attacks, I can't see why they won't protect against the bubbles.
Her invisibility is cancelled out by the ring. Her Celestial busting attack is cancelled out by her exploiting a specific weakness (no one here will argue for Metallo, for example, in a fistfight with Captain Marvel). So it boils down to her defence, which I can see HAl overwhelming.

a telepathic attack is easily blocked through hal's external shields the same way magneto's helmet provides psi-shielding; it's still an attack originating from an external source & attempting to enter the same way;
it's a far cry from susan's hyperspace based power which doesn't have to penetrate or go through anything. she can literally warp hyperspace to the point where her constructs pop up anywhere she wants, including from the inside out of an object. hal should be worried about his own defence as susan (not holding back) could end the fight long before her shield's are down.
even if you disregard the celestial feat, susan has shielded herself from attacks from galactus & even managed to do minor damage to him. basically, if this is a race to see if hal can locate & destroy her shields before she brain bubbles him.... i'm not betting on hal.

Omni-directional blast? If he knows she's invisible, he could go invisible as well, putting her at a massive disadvantage as she can't detect him. I know Kyle has done this before, Hal more than likely could do the same (utrn invisible, that is).
Fly up into the air, then drop a fire-truck on her. I know she has tanked blows from harder hits, but this is done without her seeing Hal.
Or dig the ground out from under her.
Or encase her in a box, then extract all the oxygen out from it.

Hal wins 10/10.
Generally yeah; if this is pre-reboot Hal. The ring would detect any attack on him (and find her no problem), and he'd be able to deal with it quick enough.
Not to mention that a brain bubble isn't really in character.

Agreed.
As an example, Superman races against the Flash. The Flash, under my stips, 'is not holding back'.
This doesn't mean he kills Superman, only that he is more determined to win within character.....
