Do you think Screwattack was accurate in their breakdown of Goku? - Gen. Discussion

I ask this question because there is still a lot of buzz going around over the Death Battle fight. I'm more of a Goku fan than a Superman fan but I knew Supes would win. I just want to see who thought Screwattacks breakdown was fair and who thought their breakdown was inaccurate. Personally, I think their breakdown was fair simply because the only feats you could go off were from the Saiyan/Frieza saga. Everything after that doesn't really show what he can do besides transforming however any serious fan knows Goku is definitely stronger later on. I'm not saying it would change the outcome of the Death Battle I just want to know what everyone else thought.

I'm going to watch the whole thing again, but my first impression was they weren't even entirely accurate with Superman.

Of course, I also disagree strongly with the "no ABC logic/powerscaling" rule that gets applied to DBZ, partly because I find it pretty hypocritical; comics fans routinely and freely use ABC logic all the time when dealing purely with other comics characters. You pretty much have to, otherwise you end up with weird things like Darkseid being weaker than Luke Cage. Obviously, just about anyone familiar with the characters is going to think there is something wrong with that idea, but good luck finding a scan of Darkseid actually lifting something that weighs more than 25 tons.

What I always say to this, is that the margin of error is easily large enough to encompass possible mistakes. If Goku was 10x as strong as they portrayed him as being, he would still have lost.

Though Goku more than 10x as strong as they showed to us, and Superman's power isn't "unlimited", by the most consistent feats, he isn't half as unbeatable as they said.
