this thread is biased since it's in this forum, cause i'm sure there are more sf fans than dbz fans, post this in a dbz forum and we'll see who wins. :sneaky2:

Man you guys keep using the anime as your source of facts, and thanks Dan for summing it all up.

There is no movement in the manga, and no one ever says that anyone moves at the speed of light, and no one ever does until the Buu saga.

And when I say DB, i meant DB in general, I don't like sayng DBZ because does it says DB"Z" in the manga cover? No it doesn't.

Some characters from SF can fly, Shin Bison, Gill, Rose(float), Oro(float). And you don't need to fly to win.

If it were a water battle(fighting in water), SF would definately win, DB characters can't stay in water that long, just as long as a normal human(but a bit higher). if it were an air battle, DB characters would definately win because most of the SF cast can't even fly, and the ones that can fly(float) don't hover that far from the ground(I believe Oro can fly, but just not as good as Bison, or Gill).

[quote:post_uid0="princevegetam"]roll, you don't know anything about dbz and you only know about sf. dbz characters have fought many times on the ground. sure, akuma can destroy a mountain, but can he fly? it takes a certain amount of energy to propel yourself in the air. i don't think any sf characters can do that. you have to be at a certain level of power to be able to fly. if akuma or any other sf characters can do that, then they are not at the same level as dbz characters.[/quote]
Sorry, but I just noticed princevegetam's post here.

The technique you refer to is Buku Jyutsu, and just like any other technique it must be learned. The Street Fighter characters (most of them) obviously have enough Ki to support this technique; it is just that most of them don't know the technique.

i would have compared to the manga,but the manga dont give that much detail...

buu saga...
vegetto give 1 hit there then buu try something then vegetto give another hit here then buu absorb it ! where is the fun in that ?

anyway, i like DB and SF evenly but i still say it would be DB char who would win cause of there techniques not cause of there speed or anything else !

in a hand-to-hand fight it would be even since they all use martial arts so we cant decide on that !

I don't think that DB has any attacks where it sends the person's soul to Hell... Street Fighter wins based upon techniques! Look at my really long post a page ago!

but you know how fast the dbz fighters punch and kick compared to the streetfighters? its that simple

:sleepy: I said that based upon [b:post_uid8]techniques[/b:post_uid8], and not physical strength. Street Fighter techniques are superior to DBZ ones in many respects.

If any of watched streetfighte Zero Alpha you would know that steertfighter characters are just as strong as DBZ ones especially ryu. In the movie ryu's hadoken did as much damage as any blast a Dbz characters blast can do. His charged up one is as big as KAmahama does as much damage as it probably even more. He was destroying buildings in the movie, and when he did blast you could have seen the explosion from a far just like on DBZ. OH and Evilryu and GOUKI.......well they would have torn any DBZ chracter apart no hesistation. Oh yeah and in the movie one of E.ryu's hadokens (evil wave) was gonna destroy the earth but chun li had to stop him.

First of all, I DO watch Dragon Ball Z. I happen to think it's very amusing. But I still say SF has a *slightly* bigger advantage. Second, Goku did die. Not after freeza though. Before the death of Freeza (or the appearance of it anyway...), Goku was knocked into lava, and thus, he disappeared out of existance of that life plane. But the dragon Balls on NAMEK (which were revived, since Kame used the earth dragon balls to restore that fat Namekian)were used to revive everyone that was killed by Freeza, including Goku. Thus, he had his third chance at life. If you actually watched the episodes carefully, then you would've noticed. And I still think a SF Character would win, because this is based on ground fights. Take away the HUGE energy attacks that can blow up a planet (which wouldn't be a wise choice of attack), and the fact that they can fly, and what do you have? Just muscles and heads with mouths that flap. But I agree, they do have speed. But I have to wonder about Vitality...

Street figher can beat DBZ. Watch streetfighter Zero Alpha the movie and you'll see what I mean.
