If it is Post-Crisis, then Goku probably should have already won. If he was Pre-Crisis, then even a Super Saiyan 5 version of Vegito wouldn't even stand a chance... :cry:

If they're using SS4, why does Goku appear in his Boo Arc appearance in the preview?

Probably because he looks a lot cooler as SSJ 3 than as some mean-looking half-monkey guy.
Sean Schemmel is THE MAN! :)

Me- "Also, before anyone mentions it, Schemmel's interview was from nearly 15 years ago. He paid a brief visit to Kanzenshuu's forums a few years back and earned legendary respect that cancels out anything he said from that long ago. :D"

It's Post-Crisis including All Stars, so who knows.

I think so too. If one of them wins, the other's fanboys will indeed, RAGE!!1!1
There are fans who believe that Goku could beat Superman without having to turn SSJ so there is going to be rage regardless since Goku will be going SSJ and beyond.

How can Goku teleport to a bean of some kryptonite? Neither of those things have a familiar ki for him to lock onto.
(and I don't know how powerful Supes is, but SSJ 3 should be more than enough to last a while with him)
How can you judge that if you don't know how powerful Supes is?

Like I said, they are going to use SS4. The preview just ended after Goku went SS2. In the full video he's presumably going 3, then 4, which is weird because he's in his Boo arc gear without a tail.

Well he does have his power pole (granted, he always just grab it from the lookout). Besides, they probably just used his most recognizable appearance to possibly avoid confusion.

Except Gokū would never use kryptonite. He'd want a fair fight above everything.

I loved that image that they used.

It was from an East vs West feature in Wizard, a magazine about comics. I still have that issue.

That page seems to hate DBZ. It's unlikely that they'd make Goku win, regardless of how much evidence there is to suggest that he could wipe the floor with Superman.

But the issue at hand is that they simply look at raw strength, and not battle tactics. Goku is well trained in fighting, and in the earlier series is seen to be able to adapt to his opponents fighting style, while Superman seems to opt to pound people into submission.
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

They never said that they hate Dragon Ball. They have said what they hate & love in both Dragon Ball and Superman. And they take this project very seriously, they are not going to have their favorite of the two to win. And honestly, while I would like Goku to be the winner, I think Superman is going to win. But we will see until then.

By the way, were there any news for the project?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

If they hated DBZ they would be using pre-crisis silver-age superman and they wouldn't have supes resorting to sun-dipping.

They are both well trained in fighting, and they both use raw strength unless a plan is actually needed. Its covered in this thread and in the comments of screwattack.

When they did Link vs Cloud I thought Cloud was going to win even though I was a huge LOZ fan so I've still got hope for Goku winning.

So far they said the fight won't be before new years. We probably won't see it until mid-late January. So far SSJ2 Goku seems to be winning, Supes is sun dipping, and the fight will end with SSJ4 Goku vs Sun Dipped Post-Crisis Superman(which will be at all-star levels).
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
