This isn't a standard fight. In this fight both characters are well aware of each other's powers. They are both going to try to use their most powerful attacks right off the bat if they think it's viable. i.e., Thor will attempt a godblast immediately if he thinks he can pull it off. Thor will go to his most powerful and exotic attacks IMMEDIATELY.
He's not fighting like normal Thor.
Superman is doing the same. He will press his speed advantage to it's fullest potential, and will hit Thor as hard as he can.
Both are going for a kill. Both know the other is going to use their most powerful attacks immediately.
Who has the edge?
BFR will count as a win, if it removes the character far enough away. i.e. if Thor sends Superman into orbit like he did to Nul, Superman will return immediately.
Fight is on earth, but while all the buildings are here, there are no people and they don't care about destroying earth and any collateral damage.
with no PIS, i don't think Thor has a chance of hitting superman with a God Blast, superman is too quick and would not try to tank it knowing Thor's attacks are magical based. With that said, it comes down to Thor's reaction speed IMO. according to the forums he has enough reaction speed to avoid superman's physical attacks. not sure what would be more effective against Thor, heat vision or freeze breath or whether both attacks are useless. It's an epic match that comes down to Thor's reaction speed.
Having said that DCNU Supes is no "I can vibrate myself intangible. I know how to expertly use all my abilities at super speed. I will wear you down before you can blink" Pre-Flashpoint Kal.
Baiting IMO help with Wonderwoman on lifting a big ship and struggling with it. In comparison to benching the earth for 5 day straight isn't a lower strength feat.
Then what is a lower strength feat.
What is lower for Thor him moving the midgard serphent
Or him struggling with Gladiator to carry a plane.
What's the context in both? Any capable reader should understand that unless the plot requires it, none of the characters you mentioned should struggle lifting a plane of all things.
I'm not talking about Lower Strength feats. I'm talking about low showings, none of which happened in the DC books this week.
There was no indication that he was having trouble with the aircraft carrier, even though it would have been tough to lift with where he was holding on to it.
So no, not a low showing.
I really hope you're not going to make me repeat myself.
