depends on the battlefield. In a small enclosed area Kurse would eventually win due to the Flash eventually running out of steam. In an open area, the Flash could build up enough speed to bfr him in a number of ways. Scenario 2 would be Flash's fight to lose.
Not all Flashes can speed steal, though Wally would surely stomp.

The difference is that Sentry's power is downplayed via various ways in the comics:
Amnesia which didn't allow him to remember his powers.
Weakened / depowered by his agoraphobia.
His powers screwed by the Negative Zone because he is roleplaying a good guy not using the negative energy.
Forum Flash is a fantasy of fanboy which never happened in the comics.
Sentry when stable is clearly omniversal.
You don't change the whole Marvel Universe to fit in it without screwing the timelines if you don't have access to that kind of power.

geezs stfu...
anyway, in a ring, where bfr is off, and no iron is available....if this is the version of kurse who was smacking around thor w/belt and power pack and bill i don't see any flash being able to do much. steal speed? he could but kurse (in that form) is just living armor so flash could pound away at him and i'm not sure it would be enough and speed stealing isn't an indefinitely long thing. i mean it took the draining of BOTH mjolnir stormbreaker to just KO him..... that's....friggin ridiculous.
i actually think flash would tire himself out before he could ko kurse. if he didn't use speed steal he could likely avoid kurse until he was exhausted, but i wonder what repeated thunderclaps from someone maybe 5x or more stronger than thor would do to a small battlefield....?
i sort of see this battle the same i see juggs vs flash in ring setting. kurse or juggs would simply wait flash out. flash's only chance as i see it might be vibrating into the armor and trying to destroy it that way, but given how durable kurse was and the magic involved, even that feels iffy to me. without bfr i don't give flash great odds here. /shrug
Flash's only real options are BFR via IMP, or speed-stealing. I suppose the vibration tactic might also work, like you mentioned -- it worked on COIE Anti-Monitor, after all.

i just assumed bfr was off the table in a standard ring match....but yeah bfr is his best chance if it were available. i think speed steal would be a delaying tactic in this thing. i mean kurse isn't exactly fast anyway.... lol the vibration tactic would be interesting to see. impossible i guess to say exactly what would happen if he tried it. i think it resisted disintegration by that power pack kid though (don't have the e-book at hand to check) iirc so maybe it wouldn't go over so well? i dunno.
The thing about Kurse's 'weakness' to iron is that it has only been exploited one time on panel -- and that was when Power Pack dropped an entire damned skyscraper on him, lol. But even then, he still dug himself out later in the issue, and appeared none the worse for wear.
So even in a field where iron might be in play, I don't see it as a weakness Flash could easily exploit(if at all.) People tend to liken iron to Kryptonite where Kurse is concerned -- that's just not the case.
