Why do people bring up "speedblitz" for characters like Wonder Woman?
Speed means nothing. Thanos proves this as he has no speed or even flight but he could assrape the "speedlibtz" characters like Superman.
Thanos defeats speedsters such as Silver Surfer because he does have super speed, and it is assumed that his reflexes/reaction times are even faster which enables him to counter opponents attacks.
Yes, I'll admit sometimes speed is disregarded in comics mostly because of some stupid plot device, but for the most part it is very effective, and characters such as the Flash, Zoom, Surfer, and Superman show us why.

Re: Why does speed matter?
Its just my opinon....the challenge of making comic books interesting and to make the characters seem capable of defeat....leads to plot induced stupidity...P.I.S.....so comic books will always play a middle ground when it comes to speedblitz's........just like the rules of this site which state that flash would end his comic book in less than 1 page at his full potential(somewhat summed up lol)....it would not be a fun read
So we have here on KMC a rule characters will fight at their best....within the characters personality...if they can speedbitz most likely they will here?
What makes it so" he/she wins by speedblitz" when taken into account the narrative for flash and speedblitzers speed and thought process...it can be hard not to see a character winning from the moment the match starts....now to me in some cases it wont matter if the person is to durable or invulnerable..(thanos/Juggernaught etc)...then again flash has an i.m.p punch that seems to be a powerfull strike on par or greater than a superman punch..so thats my jist of things
Now thanos..well who has speedblitzed him....and i dont mean one burst of speed which leads into an attack...i mean multiple attacks pshysicaly and or mentally/energy blast.... in one panel etc
Erm no he couldn't. If Superman uses his superior speed advantage like he should use it while fighting a tank like Thanos, Thanos would not be able to even touch Superman.
But Thanos has a jobber aura.

Runner has speedblitzed Thanos and Thanos was completely helpless against Runner.
(And before some Thanos fanboy complains that Runner had the time gem which made him even faster, yeah, like Runner really needs gems in order to speedblitz somebody.)

Sufficient speed matters for the same reason sufficient strength matters (or it should): If a character is strong enough or fast enough, his/her opponents simply won't be effective against them. If comics don't show this consistently, it's because the Prime Directive of comics is: Tell an entertaining story.

If you mean "more powerful" I'll agree (more or less).
But stronger like in lifting things or throwing heavy stuff ? I still wait for some evidence.

The faster an object moves, the more damage it does. If a speck of dust hit some one at light speed it would do the same damage as a 50 caliber sniper round, probably cut him in half.
So imagine what an object the size of a fist moving many times faster than light could do.
Now that I think of it, why are we debating this ?

Re: Re: Why does speed matter?
Flash has the speedforce to protect him....can you see where others would explode doing this...whats your take?
And if someone is invulnerable...like luke cage from bullets...would it matter how fast the bullet is traveling?would the bullet just disintergrate at those speeds? just some thoughts

Well the most experienced of us..sometimes like to explain things to new posters or just generally curious posters who are questioning the versus battles rules and methods.....i find it interesting myself
An interesting bit of info I picked up a long time ago: the kinetic energy of an elementary particle moving at 86% lightspeed = the energy of that particle's mass, a la E=mc2.

Yeah but Runner has more than just speed going for him.
Runner WTFpwned Surfer in a very Thanos-esque way.
It's not like he's just some random top tier going really really fast as in the examples I mentioned.
