Which Superman?

Not watching those crappy videos.

Goku doesn't need a white knight.

So, I've never watched Dragon Ball Z, and know nothing of Goku beyond that he exists, and apparently can teleport billions of light years, to places he's never been, and yet they somehow wrote a show with actual fights about him?

Given the list of abilities people keep ascribing to Goku, how does he ever lose? Like, the whole problem of writing Superman in an interesting way is that he's so overwhelmingly strong that physical challenges are impossible (unless you bring along a bag of kryptonite).

Wouldn't combat with someone so incredibly powerful be boring as hell? Just teleport your foe to Andromeda, problem solved.

According to the show the technique has limits, he can't just go anywhere.

It's honestly one of his underused abilities, but to transport another he has to maintain physical contact as well.

Honestly Goku is strong enough to utterly destroy the general form of Superman about the point in time he learns the instant transmission, probably even without moving him out of range of a "yellow sun."

As for anyone else: pretty much the last two opponents that gave him ***were able regenerate from near nothing and had to be completely destroyed, and the one blew him up so...

Goku never fights anyone near superman's level though.

He crushes beings that are far above it though, so there's that.

I don't think we can say for sure. In DB the ability to actually hurt your opponent depends on the difference between the individual spiritual pressures. And as in Superman I don't think this is a topic ever touched, we can't know whether his body would resist Goku's ki blasts and punches.

I think you're thinking a little of Bleach there.

Because if that were true, then this wouldn't be possible:

that's just your lack of knowledge about superman talking Jet.

Not at all, unless you're not talking about the basic Supes.

Spirit pressure is from Bleach.
But I could see it being roped in with Goku as well, even though I don't recall it specifically mentioned in those terms before.

EDIT: Jet beat me lol

Six pages? Jesus.

I almost want to lock that thread just so the image of Popeye winning is the final word on it.

Yeah it doesn't work the way you described in the DB universe, at least as far as I can recall.

Ki can be used to inflict greater damage than normal with kicks/punches, it stands to reason that it can also be used to repel (in the form of a barrier) attacks or lessen the damage (sort of like having tougher skin)

In this sense it is similar to Bleach and spiritual pressure.

Let's also not forget that people in the Dragon Ball universe are weaker than Superman, they pretty much die when they get shot into the sun. Silver Age Superman could move a dozen planets by himself at once (he did this as Superboy).

Superman is stronger than Goku but the reason we like Goku is because he's not always the strongest, not always the best at everything. We like him because he continues to improve himself and never gives up.

What... what are you even trying to say?

A PS4 Monster Hunter is not something that would never happen. Sony has a history with MH.

A PS4 Pokemon game would be extremely unlikely as there have been what... zero Pokemon games on Sony consoles...
