Obviously Thanos knows that he's fighting against a speedster, and obviously he'll use tactics that go well against speedsters...
CIS still means in character, I thought.

They dont get basic knowledge of the opposition. And even if you argue that they do, and the no prep simply means they're blinking into a featureless environment with no warning, this is still Flash's fight.
I'll elaborate:

That means Flash isnt going to spend precious time, which is his stock in trade, standing still.
Allowing for basic knowledge (which i believe no prep trumps, but someone else can weigh in on that) and simply no warning on going from one environment to another, Flash is going to deal with the situation much faster than Thanos.
Even the weakest modern day version of the Flash (wally West/speed of sound) unconsciously shifted to speed mode at a change in his environment. He was at a movie where a man walked in and sprayed the crowd with a machine gun. To Wally time stood still. In the time it took for a frame of film to move on the screen and Wally to figure out what he'd done, and what had BEEN done, he was able to get up and find all the bullets, then disarm the shooter.
Relate that to a lightspeed capable Flash, WITH prior knowledge and no PIS/CIS. Thats an even quicker loss for Thanos than no knowledge, albiet by such a small measurement of time as to not matter here.
Unless you want to argue that Thanos is a better speedster than Flash, and will be able to process and react to a no warning change in environment, devise and execute a plan of attack, before Flash could.
Thats taking an already iffy "should have light speed reaction time" supposition to the seen in every Thanos thread "lets pull something out of our hats to not concede a loss" zone, to a more ridiculous level than usual.

Nice feat, but I don't know the context of the story. Anti Monitor is already on his ass (don't know if that means anything though) and Flash just busts holes in him like a bullet from a gun? Why did that fight take more than a panel if Flash could do that?
Context: it was just like in COIE (with Barry), so Dr Light had weakened him using antimatter. I will try not to mislead.
However, AM WAS more powerful than his COIE version (as noted by Wally), FWIW.

Eh, yes Flash may have busted up AM's shell, but before that happened a few key plot points transpired, and should be noted.1.) AM had been noticeably depowered via Dr. Light absorbing energy from a nearby anti-matter star, and using said energies to weaken AM:
----
2.) The cumulative efforts of the other heroes present then blew a hole in AM, and downed him:
Granted, Flash lended them his speed, so they could catch a second wind - but it was still their own powers which further weakened and already depowered AM.
----
3.) Only then, (when AM was obviously quite weak,) did Flash destroy his shell:
But as you can see, the very next panel after having his shell busted, AM was already back up in his energy form. He then vaporized the heroes present, with a single blast. In short, Flash's attack did nothing at all in the long run.
The only reason I brought up these points is to prevent some random fanboy from saying "FLASH WTF PWNZERZ AM!!11!"

All the pro Thanos posts boil down to this.AND the belief he'd be facing a Flash behaving in a PIS/CIS capacity.
The OP says different.
A full potential Flash is, simply, too much for Thanos.
What is the smallest increment of time? Planck time? As soon as this battle has progressed that far, Flash can and will be able to curb stomp Thanos a million times.
If he's lazy.Anyone who claims otherwise is delusional.
Thanos has feats that easily prove he can react to the Flash as well as erect shields and counter the speed he brings to the table.
Now dare cross me again and fell my full wrath, vagabond.

Its okay.
I already know Thanos fanboys'll never concede an obvious loss.
I come into these threads to see if he can actually win, which is fine, and if not, then point out why.
After that its just me amusing myself at the fanboys' expense, seeing how many half wit arguments, denials, personal attacks and selective feat acknowledgements they'll use to justify absurd conclusions.
And you sir, have provided no end of guffaws. 🙂

Oh wow, Thanos is done after this. Maybe CISless scenarios against characters with speed are pointless and should be avoided.
It's not a fight if your opponent can do a thousand things before you can even process a thought. It just isn't.
