El Alamein's Edgeless Evaluation!

Unlike everyone else, I don't think it's a tough call at all. Sure, both of these fighters are powerful and down to the core of their beings they have a molecular structure beyond human power, making them truly superhuman. However, Superman is truly the more powerful of the two. Looking at the raw numbers as they are, Superman is always at his physical peak - he doesn't need to exercise or practice, because he's the uber-being. Goku has shown the need to practice and train - and while that might give him one advantage, on the flip side it's a detriment, because Superman's as good as he is without all of this practice - he has experience. I know Goku has that too, but the thing is without all of the training the experience would go to nothing. Goku's attacks have the potential to blow into a power beyond what Superman can handle, but going into Super Saiyan or charging up a powerful enough Kamehameha Wave will take a while and Superman was able to run a race with the Flash and come in a tie - meaning while Goku's being slow, Superman can react very, very quickly. Quick means not only in evasion and maneuvering, but in attacks. So even if one of Superman's punches doesn't land Goku on his ass, multiple punches will, and the quicker that Superman can land them the better. Superman has his entire arsenal of abilities ready without needing to charge and he's as invulnerable to attacks as he will ever be. Goku is significantly weaker if he's not in Super Saiyan or Kaio-Ken modes, and with Superman constantly landing hits, he'll never be able to get to that point. It comes down to a matter of damage-dealing and absorption of punishment, and Superman simpy can do that, while Goku won't be able to in the long run. Goku can burn out energy very quickly for raw energy but Superman can hold in his attacks to make them count when he needs them to - and he can still have enough energy to do it over and over again. Superman wins this, ultimately, because he's always at his prime fighting condition, while Goku needs to level up to be able to compete - and Superman's ultra-fast reflexes combined with his stronger initial strength means Goku will never be able to power up enough to overpower the Man of Steel. Superman proves his name and is ultimately, the deadliest warrior in this battle.

WINNER: SUPERMAN
