Well, if you compare him to, say, Ranma Saotome, Goku isn't anything special..
The reason he's considered a "genius" is basically because he's an idiot savant in the sense that once he sees a move, he'll come up with a counter for it.. Like in the second Piccolo fight, where he brags that he's seen everything Piccolo has and developed counters for them, promping his enraged area attack, which Goku tanked.
And then almost pulled defeat from the hands of victory by getting cocky. 🙂
Goku's good, but almost any hero worth his salt manages to deal with new situations and counteract them..
