The last three are just brawls or Superman catching Marvel off-guard. So you could only find two that would qualify for blitzing.
Flash has been tagged by Slade and his Rogue Gallery while using his speed. Hell, Kid Flash tried to blitz Deathstroke and still lost.

And there's this thing called reaction time. You know, like a really fast character would be able to react to a little peak human, even if that said human tries to get a sneak shot in.
The strength thing doesn't matter as Goku's exponentially stronger by the end of Dragon Ball than he was then. The frying pan thing is a filler: not canon.
So your argument is basically the times when Superman got tagged by normal humans or bricks is when he wasn't utilizing his speed. Even though they was wrecking his sht. That makes no sense, so either PIS or Superman is an even bigger retard than Goku.

Yeah, it does seem like that from just that single scan. I should have posted it in full context. My bad.

The time lag between the moment Goku vanishes and the moment he reappears is what we'd need to figure out to determine the speed of Cell's beam.And ''instant'' in practical terms just means a relatively short period of time.
Goku couldn't really attack Roshi head-on while the beam was going off without getting hit. Besides Goku was visibly affected by the shock waves produced by the attack although to a lesser extent than the spectators of the tournament.

It's instantaneous bro. Goku travelled light years in an instant when Frieza and King Cold were getting wrecked by Trunks. There's no mention of there being a lag time. And let's say it's not instantaneous and there is a lag time, that "relatively short time" you were talking about would be at least in the nanosecond range via powerscaling. These guys in Cell Games were literally millions- maybe even billions of times more powerful than Roshi and Krillin were in the scans above.
Oozaru Goku was portrayed as mindless beast that would go on rampages. He wouldn't be thinking about dodging anything. Stop trying to downplay, lol.
