If you want to have a feat war.. where you present all the times superman hasn't been tagged by slower people and used his super speed and list them all.. and I'll post the times he's been hit in a fight... Who do you think will win that feat war between us? Answer honestly. I will completely crush you by hundreds of more feats than you could present. That is HOW superman fights... he fights less frequently how you want him to fight than how he ACTUALLY fights in the comics. That isn't up for debate. So if you want to take me up on that comparison I would be more than happy to do so. If not, then concede superman has been tagged far greater times then he has avoided being tagged for the duration of the fight.Thanos' crushes superman even when he uses his speed. That isn't even up for debate. His versatility and reaction time makes it that easy. If you just have it a slugfest and nothing more.. sure superman can do okay... but he'll still get tagged like he always does and when he does.. he'll get hurt.
This is not how a character would fight in a comic book. We have forum rules. You can't ignore them because it suits you.
Full capacity prevents characters from losing their 'always on' abilities mid battle and makes them operate at optimal ability.
I don't care how many times Superman has been hit (It's completely ok for Superman to get hit by beings close to his speed). Either he purposely allowed himself to get hit (which is character), his speed and reflexes were turned OFF for the sake of the plot, or the characters were close to his speed or faster.
Since you are arguing character then you must believe that former, Superman purposely gets hit. If so, then he will purposely get hit here as well (maybe to gauge Thanos power). But make no mistake, Superman can and will turn on the speed at any time during the match.
Why would Thanos crush Superman if he uses his speed? What good are reactions when Thanos is too slow. Superman can literally move more than 5ft before Thanos can move an inch. What good are reactions then?
Lastly, how would Thanos crush Superman if speed was equal? Superman will start weaker than Thanos due to holding back but will eventually surpass him when he sees the Titan's power. Superman that's not holding back is stronger than Thanos. If you disagree then you don't know Superman's feats at all. Yes I know Thanos strength feats. His highest ones are beating on Surfer and grappling with Drax to make a planet destroy itself.
