That's some freaking speed right there.
Of course it does. That's like the first rule of the comics.
Batman practically lives on that trope.
Yeah, that's some speed. Flying speed that is. Nobody said Surfer was slow in flying speed.
World Mind was shouting out warnings to evade and erecting shields independent of Rich's orders in their fight, it's certainly telling that he wasn't able to in regards to the opening shot.
Yes, because he wasn't operating at full capacity. Good luck extrapolating that.
Yeah I give Surfer 8-9/10 under the conditions of a forum fight... but all hard fought. Forum fights favor versatile characters against bricks because unlike comics they actually USE their versatility and don't fight like dopes the way so often happens in comics.
Hey, fanfiction version of characters are always fun.
And who said under a forum fight Surfer can use his versatility but Superman can't use his speed? You know like the Flash?
Because Superman would literally bash Surfer's head in the moment fight starts in a forum scenario like the one you prefer.
Against characters similar to Supes but lacking his inherent weaknesses(like Captain Marvel), I only give Surfer 6-7/10. And before you object to the idea that character's versatility is covered in the forum rules, just take a look at the clarifications for CIS.
That's just hilarious. You can't even show Surfer using weakness exploitation for once in the comics but somehow he uses it every time here.
In character is also in the rules you know.
Despite the fact that Thor virtually never capitalizes on his versatility in fights against Hulk, the rules specifically points out that he'll use his exotic attacks against the Green Goliath. And that's not even the rule about PIS, that's the rule about CIS. You're free to disagree with the rules, but don't hate on me just because my opinions on fights are based on them.
You're a ****ing idiot if you think the rules state that. Thor fights in character. Surfer too. Superman too. That means the only showings that count are which have shown in the comics.
Not your make believe scenarios.
And Surfer would be lucky to get 2-3/10 against Superman. There you go.
