He means as in, every action the Sentry makes is two seconds faster than everyone else.

Meaning he's two seconds faster than everything. Bardock had visions, meaning he could see the future.

Two different things, my friend.

Two seconds faster than his opponent's speed or is mentally 2 seconds ahead, as in knowing the future?

From what I've read, the former.

Also I don't care if Naruto doesn't win that more a joke suggestion than anything besides its already been established the Kefka wins so I already got what I wanted from this topic.

Hrm

Well, as far as Naruto goes, I thought it was an interesting match, even as a joke. Maybe in the end of the series he'd be able to actually beat Goku, seeing as he's just a kid in the series. Goku is actually pretty old in GT...

So, if it is that he is physically faster by two seconds, how could he be faster than the speed of light? By two seconds no less...I could belive he could match it but what is faster than light?

And yes, technically Kefka won, I really just wanna beat that game soon. I gotta see this bastard for myself. As far as I got in the game, he was just a joke, I can't see him being a serious boss...

Why yes, he is. He's also a pshycopathic maniac who can tear the very fabric of our universe apart in an instant.

He is a clown, but he's not just a clown.

The Sentry "exists" seconds ahead of everyone else. It goes beyond knowing what will happen. He has absolute knowledge of what occurs two seconds into the future because he essentially lives perpetually in the future. It's not speed; it's a different place on the timeline. He knows what Goku does seconds before he does it. The Sentry can counter or avoid every attack Goku makes because he already knows Goku's doing it before it's done. Sentry knows when Goku will teleport, and where Goku will reappear. He knows, absolutely, what is going to happen. It's not like having a vision; most stories tend to agree that a vision can be changed prior to it occuring, by altering the circumstances leading up to it. The Sentry knows exactly what will happen, without fail.

...I find it disappointing that I need to say the same thing so many times, in so many ways, just in an attempt to make sure you understand what we mean.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! wrote:It manipulates the very fabric of existence. Does this take a toll on it? Does it take time to use such power? Is there a time limit for said form?

The Phoenix better actually be perceivably beatable or it'll be my turn to question some writing.
It hasn't sucked so bad that it's died repeatedly like Goku, if that's what you mean. The Phoenix itself isn't a humanoid person, it is a being that has the capability to inhabit the bodies of others - yes, it has managed to get the body of its host killed. Circumstantially at best, however - the Phoenix usually drives its host body mad due to the scope and complexity of its power. It is technically mortal, just like Goku is technically mortal. All physical energy or matter is technically destroyable, if you can comprehend the fashion.

Being able to manipulate reality is not so hard to perceive - it's the common extra ability to manipulate matter and energy known as telekinesis. Goku could attempt to punch it, but would logically be consumed by however fashion the Phoenix chooses to manifest its ability.

If you don't understand why it is technically impossible for anything, including Goku, to withstand the pure heat of a star - you do not understand heat. Heat is the manifestion of kinetic energy on a magnificently sub-atomic level. When you measure heat, you measure the amount of kinetic energy that is apparent in matter. Kinetic energy is movement - you are measuring movement. Goku can be injured by punches, and other types of physical attacks - that is kinetic damage. Being subjected to an absurd amount of heat is grounds for the destruction of any being that physically manifests in a traditional fashion (ie: made of matter).

Essentially, attacking him with the core heat of a high-ranking star would be like every single atom that Goku is made of is being punched by a guy made of millions(or more) of atomic bombs over and over again in the span of thousandths of a millisecond. This would take place for the entire duration of which Goku is in the presence of this heat.

A character like the Phoenix can accelerate matter to such an excited state that this occurs.

Time limits apply, but due to the physical nature of the 4th dimension, the Phoenix can theoretically manipulate time-streams to the point of speeding up fragments of space in the fourth dimension. Limits have been implied in writing, as the Phoenix is a being with a conscience, but that is all circumstantial. To imagine any being with the ability to manifest its intellect in a power that can manipulate kineticism on a root level is to imagine that, if refined, they could have these abilities. Sentry could theoretically display the same potential, given the nature of his abilities.

If you want to start inventing more rules, you might be able to class this sort of character out just like everyone else that obviously would win in a fight against Goku. Apparently, you want to limit everything to Dragon Ball logic, because Goku exists in DBZ.

DBZ itself exists outside of the logical bounds of reality - it contradicts itself constantly. Vegeta, as a low-level saiyan, could destroy planets instantly. Roshi could destroy the moon, instantly. Frieza, who was near infinitely more powerful than either of them, took laborious amounts of effort and time to destroy a planet. Dragon Ball doesn't have its own logic so much as it is made to suit the storyline. The storyline is fallible where logic is concerned. The type of energy and abilities that they use to attack one another must be limited to avoid destruction of the planet they inhabit, so much so that it would be impossible to destroy their foes which are invariably made of much tougher material than the planets they inhabit.

^^WHich in itself is ridiculous, because by that logic they should have planets orbiting around them and other such nonsense. The fact that DRagon Ball as a logical fantasy series being retarted notwithstanding, I'll move on.
I REALLY HATE POKEMON! wrote:Erdawn, if Bat Man used the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron in a fight with Goku, that would count as 2 on 1.

As far as generic green Hulk goes, the one that I am familiar with, I cannot perceive a circumstance in which Hulk could ever defeat Goku.

Sentry's gonna need more than 2 seconds of future knowledge to win a fight. As an example, Bardock forseen future events and Frieza still killed him regardless.

Also, no FF party character could EVER take on Goku 1-on-1. Just like they could never defeat a final boss 1-on-1. They rely on each other to survive, thats FF.

Also, this Manhatten dude sounds like a surefire disqualification...but forget that for now, tell me about him, his offensive and defensive power, I'm curious.

PK, Naruto still is much less intelligent and has comparitively no experience when sat near Goku. Also, his abilities are mainly close combat giving Goku the edge by far.
Your Batman argument is ridiculous. We're theorising that Batman would be faced against Goku. Goku is super-human, those are his qualities - he's a Saiyajin alien or whatever, he can "move at the speed of light"(I disregard this completely, by the way, just because the mindless characters of Dragonball Z suggest this and the series seeming lack of any logical consistence damn that very statement as nothing more than ignorant banter not to be taken at face-value - the repercussions of moving "at the speed of light" are neither taken into consideration or even hinted at, and thus are not a factor) and ****ing blows planets up by looking at them. You are facing him off against a regular, mortal human being. You either have no concept of how a ****ing death-match is wrong or just fail. In order to actually pit Batman off against Goku you have to factor in his limitations with his abilities - like I stated, in order to level the playing field, Batman would have to be prepared to win the battle - that would include everything up to summoning SHenron to ****ing turn Goku into a regular mortal like him or some other drastic measure, to building an army of robots to fight Goku for him (in the manner he protects Gotham while disabled and aged in the what-if Kingdom Come continuity). If anything, this death-match is made even more stupid because for all intents and purposes if Batman were a normal human being in the Dragonball universe (which is nonsensical) his abilities, taking into consideration the commitment and discipline of his training regime and martial arts mastery, would probably exceed most of the show's cast excluding the rare deus-sex-machina 'alien race' argument.

In regards to the Hulk, that wasn't even a ****ing argument. FOr all intents and purposes you cannot conceive of the Hulk ever beating Goku? How? Why? Theorise! I just planely stated that the Hulk's wrath is the only limit to his power, and it is a constant staple in the Marvel series to broadly state that the madder he gets, the more powerful he gets. The Hulk is pretty much one of the greatest forces of nature in that continuity. His own leg-strenght has grown to the point where in a single leap he can launch himself into the statosphere from stationary - and he's not using "ki" to fly, that just muscle capacity. Not to mention regenerative capabilities. His limitless potential has squared him off against The Sentry, who is the real powerhouse behind this argument, Superman not withstanding :p

Moving on to the actual Sentry, I cannot even begin to start at how badly this character would demolish Goku in any standing contest. When I said he existed two seconds in the future I meant it in the way I phrased it - The Sentry litterally exists in the present but all-together two seconds in the future, I do not mean he can "predict" events which may come about two seconds in the future, I mean he's there. A sucker-punch from Goku would be parried and turned away by the logic that The Sentry would have had two full seconds knowledge of that incoming attack, in a kind of time-loop from present to future and back. Half his existance is actually dictated by events in the present. Consider it a kind of charm. His power - measured in something like the exploding of one billion suns in a single instant - is so terrible he needs to exert most of that power to contain himself in a mortal, physical form. Imagine, for a second, that kind of power unleashed - and not merely buried away. We're talking Goku confetti at the atomic level. and I re-iterate again - his very existance - by natural law - creates the ultimate antagonist - The Void - by rule of mathematical balance. He's as much responsible for Good as Evil because his presence is so one-sided to the forces of Good that the cosmic balance of reality needs to measure itself out.

Dr. Manhattan actually pales in comparason, and we're talking about an omniscient being who exists in all tenses of the time-stream. He's actually right out because we're not even talking about a physical contest.

Also, again, you're working under an assumption (towards FF characters) that the visual constraints of time-based battles actually have relevance on what would actually be happening in real time based off the numerical values of attributes and all that jazz. A maxed out character in say, FF7, would be moving faster than a ****ing hummingbird, hitting with enough strenght to uproot mountain-ranges, and depending on the materia-combination operating around rules of reality to allow for pre-emptive engagements, counter-attacks, parries, and overpowering regardless of the circumstance. And that's not mention the unleashing of potentially world-shattering summon-power.

As a last note - Dragonball pitted against stuff like, say, the Marvel universe is laughable because your essentially pitting a cartoon series with a complete disregard for physics and natural law (say, the disregard of the consequences or even power required to destroy and actual ****ing planet, the disappreciation of what a planet actually is, physics, all that jazz) versus a series that does - and then scientifically overrides them. If the Sentry blows up a Planet, for example, that is absolutely catastrophic and yet still feasible and impressive. If Goku does it, we are reminded that Dragonball Z is a cartoon.

Also, other candidates? Spawn would destroy Goku without contest, and so would Luke Skywalker. I am ending this now to free up the computer. Otherwise I would argue you into an early grave.

Your point.
