Ryu, the protagonist of the Street Fighter video game series.

This is usually seen as a mismatch but in this case, I'm using the Asura's Wrath version of Ryu so this will be a different story. So who wins this matchup?

FIGHT!!!

6-arms Asura's planetary strength chase-punched him to the moon at 2/3rds lightspeed. This Ryu is physically stronger a faster than Goku.

Hmnmm just realized how ****ing powerful must ryu really be to be able to take what asura was dishing on their fight. He was even fighting in the moon! lol.

They had to amp Ryu and Akuma something fierce to even be blips on Asura's radar.

But he is still somewhat at a disadvantage since he can't fly.

A good point, making his strongest blasts more dangerous... However given the speed gap it would be difficult to land a strong blast on him. Ryu would have a similar thing with his Hadoukens.

Flight gives him an advantage which amps his ki attacks, still shouldn't close the gap formed from the speed+strength difference by much.

What level is Goku allowed to amp to?

Like BloodRain mentioned, Goku going up against a faster and stronger opponent who can withstand planetary busting punches? Goku is gonna need every advantage he can get here so I don't think it'd be unfair for him to go to Super Saiyan God level (though I still don't really know how much stronger he is in that form).

He can go SSG without help from others.

Whis flying from another Solar System to Earth in less than a day

Ryu was amped enough for Asura's wrath to stomp the unholy crap out of Goku.

He also flew to King Kai's planet, so its not really normal flight.

goku has the might to keep up and the flight, speed and range to pour it on heavy and take the victory.

That .gif is ****ing glorious.

Goku claimed that if they had a spaceship they could literally FLY from the Kaioshins planet to Namek.

The implication, if Goku was being literal, is that Kaioshins world can be traversed to. Probably like how Buu got there the first time.

But its a different matter for King Kai's planet. You can't physically travel there, only through teleporting. Its not like we see characters freely flying from Earth to the other world or back whenever they feel like it.

1) Both the Kaioshin's and King Kai's planet are in the afterlife

2) Not everyone is a MFTL god

3) Even assuming it wasn't normal flight Whis would still need comparable reactions to not crash into stuff

Uranai Baba is example of a character in DB that can travel to the afterlife from the living plane and back in less than one day, and that's enough to prove one does not need to be FTL to make the trip.

Also, 2:00 in;

The way Whis was shown leaving King Kai's planet seems more like some sort of non-instant teleportation ala Power Rangers rather than actual flight.
