@risingbean: GG has fought at blasting range. He uses his range more than a few times for a benefits.
In his last fight with Spider Man he was flying in the sky using range from the fire he absorb >_>
For how long? How many pages before he rushes back to melee? As it is he jumped up to Torch to absorb his fire. Then he floated back to the ground to continue to melee with Pete.
C'mon man, I am linking from your respect thread. Don't try to mislead me. We both know Osborn will keep it melee. So the question here is who can soak more and dish out more.
I'm not saying he won't unleash a few fireballs. But I will say I can't recall him ever stalling and spamming at anything he could take on head to head. Also if Wolverine is trying to face him head to head, he isn't going to turn tail and run off, leap a few stories and then start spamming fireballs. It isn't in his character.
It never has been.
@cadencev2 can probably answer your question better than me. He originally informed me about this character. Though you last line is assuming GG has to be within melee range, which he doesn't.
Also let me see if I understand this right. You are arguing with people who have read everything Goblin has been in and a heavy block of Wolverine's appearances while you know Goblin via him being explained by Cadence and scans?
You also note Goblin leaping away to heal. I can't recall him ever doing that either. Though he did throw Pete at Cap when Cap was kicking his backside and tried to have Pete fight for him. Cap turned Pete on Goblin who KO'ed him for a page or eight. (At least it's eight pages before we see him again.)
Logan isn't getting his neck broken. If you think so, you need to excuse yourself from this battle and read some books.
Keeping up with 616 is different then Ult Spidey. Let me spell it out for you. 616 started out in high school, moved onto college in the 70's and by 1987 when that Spidey vs Wolverine comic came out, Pete was a grown adult. Ultimate Spidey was 15 when he debuted and still living at home when he died so he has 2-3 years of experience vs 616's 6-8. Ult Spidey gets hit because of inexperience. He is fast, but not faster then bullets (a NYPD officer and Hawkeye), or his enemies (any main one, including Goblin) because he is so green. A trope spread through the entire Ultimate Spider-man series was of a kid in over his head, barely lucking out and surviving. He is inferior to 616 in battle (as much as I prefer him as a character) and 616 Wolverine is closer to 616 Spider-man then he is Ultimate. If you want to see an example of Goblin vs a skilled opponent who isn't cannon fodder, look again at Ult Cap in the Ultimate Six arc.
Goblin isn't one to run, or spam fire. He gets in your face and overwhelms you. He tries that with Wolverine he is going to take worse then he gets. He'll eventually (and if plot is not involved very quickly indeed) get his head taken off.
If Goblin decided that he was so over matched he has no choice but to spam fire from a distance, Wolverine hides. And Wolverine either comes out of surprise to one hit kill Goblin, or the fight ends inconclusively. Well no. Because Osborn will eventually go back to being Osborn and he'll die in human form when Logan takes his head off at a time and place of Logan's choosing..
