Yeah, its most redundant way of looking at fights. Nova is faster in travel speed, conner is faster in combat. He raced kid flash to a standstill.
How is racing from point a to b a combat feat?

Lol nobody is punching Nova's teeth out brother. And he's damn sure not being oneshot.

I was joking, duh.
Wanna bet?

Keeping up with a flash in foot race isn't indicative of combat speed?

Meh, it was minor help at best. He has also overpowered PG and an alternate supergirl simultaneously.

That's a pretty narrow definition of combat speed. If he can run at a speed close to kid flash, he can also punch at that speed. He has also kept up with superman in foot race in Superman 155 and 220, where he was losing but not by much.

Reacting to the environment, which they have to avoid, is the reflex feat.

Which is combat applicable.

If they simply ran in a straight line with no need to maneuver, then its not combat applicable.

but that's travel speed...? Why would he be able to punch at that speed just because he run at it? It's an actual question, not just me being snippy.

edit: nvm CC's post clears it up a bit

Here are the scans

Not saying racing across the planet isn't a speed/reflex feat but its a far cry from an actual combat feat trees and mountains wont be trying to attack you while you are racing.

He wasn't trying to punch trees and mountains. By that token, flash would be only lightspeed fast.

Says the guy claiming Superboys combat speed feats are superior to Nova due to a race. Connor doesnt display combat speed as consistent as Nova does and i actually see Nova blitzing Connor rather than the other way around.

With two races with superman, thank you.

He doesn't need to blitz every other month to blitz nova.

Feel free to post all those scans of nova blitzing.

Bottom line is speed isn't the issue here. Nova can hang with the likes of Superboy when it comes to speed. I'll even call it a wash for durability and damage soak even though Richie prolly beats him in those departments. Nova is more versatile and ultimately more powerful. He wins this.
