For example, I am assuming this Barry (The current Flash), speed stealing and SF manipulation is something Wally is far more proficient at. It does say PC (Which means Wally technically, but who knows.)
Or people saying he can run in space or air. I'm mad at myself for making that argument a decade ago. In retrospect, I was being too zealous. There are maybe 2/3 scenes that imply that he can, and about 200 that he can't?
Regardless, you can think of them as self-imposed limitations, mental blocks if you will. Or the limits of the SF. For every 1 high end feat, there is literally 5 more from the same writer that disproves the notion he wins easily, or even that he wins at all.
Graviton is especially a rogue that would give Flash hell due to the nature of his power set. I think this would be an interesting match up. Maybe speed blitz for the initial win if Iris or Linda is in mortal danger. Otherwise Graviton imo.
I was assuming post Crisis to mean Wally, tbh. Not Barry (hence my scans being Wally centric)
With regards to the limitations of the SF, it can't be that as every (ok, maybe 90%, as I cannot be 100% sure) showing has shown it to be infinite in nature, or close enough in all intents and purposes.
With regards to the mindset, it's a bit like the Orion/Annihilators thread. You assumed they fought competently as a team, with a good use of their abilities - which is perfectly fine, and I agree with that. Ikon specifically said she beat them due to her using their mental blocks against them, but in a forum thread, we assume they're not idiots/are actually serious about fighting.
Fair enough.
In this thread, Wally is also serious about fighting. So is Graviton, obv.
But a serious Flash would be doing....well, the only thing he can, lol. Or at least, the attack he uses in 90% of his fights. I'm not arguing he burns Gravitons eyes out, or turns his blood into steam, or magnetises him, or blows him up - even though I DO have comic scans of him doing all this.
Match starts, he either punches if he wants to get physical, or speedsteals if not. No prep means no shield for Graviton, or no crushing etc.
