Not talking about superspeed, like running speed, but reflexes.

Such a feat would take... superspeed.You're not actually arguing or debating though, or even making any solid points, you're just ignoring evidence. Page after page and example after example of it.
That doesn't give Darkseid the ability to speed around and rebuild a city in moments should someone give him a jetpack.
Please. Your reductionist drivel has already been deconstructed by the simple, basic argument: exactly how fast was Superman fighting when dealng with Doosmday? It's the same honest query posed to Thorbags who show him punking Hermes twiceover, it's the same honest query posed to Gammatards who run off the list of Supermen-analogues he's faced and defeated. It's why people place stock in independent quantifiable speed feats.
The reluctancy to quantify an answer is understandable. How exactly could you know how fast he's fighting? The reticence to believe he isn't fighting at anythign less than peak nanosecond combat superspeeds is rucking fetarded. Nothing less.

lolso, show me something comparable.
did you read the scan i posted? dd was said to be lightning fast and combined with his power supes couldn't gather himself to react or fight back. so, yeah, overwhelmed fits that bill perfectly. not to mention he's faced dd numerous times and referenced his speed numerous times. so he what--conveniently FORGETS how fast dd is everytime? or...dd really is fast.
of course. can't be your refusal to acknowledge the feats for what they actually are. lots easier to shove them under the rug of hyperbole than to take the repeated assertions as clear intent by the writer. makes sense. 😐
i've not gone through any trouble at all to cover anything up. lol my stance was made crystal clear in my initial post and the scans are all here in this thread, you simply don't want to accept what has been clearly implied by them and instead choose to lump them into some weird hyperbolic mess. and the thing you continually harp on--the dreaded statements--are all made in relation to a performed FEAT! it's not as though the statements are made in a vaccuum ffs. you just don't like the feats. i'd agree with you were it only brought up the one time. the reiteration across arcs though paints a clear picture. at no point did i say dd is as fast as clark--in fact there is clear evidence to the contrary. not being as fast as supes doesn't mean he doesn't have superspeed, nor does it mean he's relegated to the speed of the hulk. thor at least HAS some superspeed feats, so if you want to lump him in there, fine. lobo likewise. BOTH are a lot faster than hulk imo, if we look at specific feats (for a different thread).
gotta admit, i've had a good laugh at your stance in this thread too.
How many times have the Avengers forgotten how fast Hulk moves? Superman wasn't getting blitzed with repeated punches that were coming from all angles Superman wasn't getting spun dizzy like a top. Superman wasn't whiffing his punches like an amateur. Superman wasn't fighting what appeared to be a blur to him. It was Doomsday's ferocity and sheer naked power that overwhelmed Superman. And the flimsy notion that Superman was overwhelmed and outclassed by Doomsday's speed is stucking fupid. Nothing less.
Your stance is crystal clear: character statements (as long as it's Superman and supported by Booster Gold) >>>>> quantifiable on-panel speed feats. Forgive my disbelief. Particularly when you can't even justify taking Superman's statements literally.

Riled up? I was amused at much you've taken after Carver and Quan after debating with them for so long. Nothing more.
Yeah, sorry, but quanchi112 is happy reverse projecting the UN's multiversal feats onto the IG and reverse projecting Death's feats onto Thanos. That nobody sees the irony in reverse projecting Superman's feats onto Doomsday based on character statements and no quantifiable on-panel feats is an irony that is, unfortunately for some, too big to see. Weaksauce.
Where the phuck did the common sense go? Let me know when Darkseid speedblitzes Despero or General speedblitzes Manhunter or Grundy speedblitzes Batman. I'm sure everybody will line up in a row and say, "Aha!!! See?! Superman wasn't just talking up his agile superbrick opponent like everybody else does!" Commence: eyerolling.
