Death Battle's result of Superman beating Goku is incorrect.

Maximum Values: I can see where you are coming from but the problem is that superman was not at his maximum. While he was in a prime he was far from his maximum. They gave Goku at his known maximum ((not counting future Goku because of the pure speculation)) and superman at relay good power. Also if we are talking about values the voice of Boomstick said in SideScrollers -Reactionary Reaction- That whenever they get to a problem with Goku, they lean in the favor of Goku. Sources: I do not agree with this statement. Most stories that superman appears in while different keeps the main part of his character. It is true that his series has had many contradictions of the years but so has Goku. Like how Goku could get hurt by fire and lava yet could survive a planet exploding, and off course the battle is not canon, it's from a fan. If it was canon it would have a more deep plot and other things like each other knowing about each other. Simulations: You are completely right but I would not agree with your argument with strength. They were specifically looking at lifting strength and not punching strength so I think how it turned out made sense. But the problem with using a computer is that pure numbers is not what made the fighters win. They are more than just who can lift more and who can fly faster, it's also about their powers and other factors including their intelligence and what they could do that provides a problem. Oversimplification of Powers Again you bring up valid points but there is some problems with them. Since I have already stated that superman is not at full power just high power. When you state how Goku can use his powers I assume you are meaning how he can manipulate his ki after he has thrown it. I don't see how it is a problem since they state with certain attacks different versions and being able to move it. It was inconvenient because in their fight superman had to attempt to sun bathe when Goku was at super sayin 2. They do take into a factor of his weakness. He was stumbling because of kryptonite even though he could at least stand with it in his presence before. He also had to run for the sun 2 times in the fight highlighting his dependence on solar radiation. When they were in the speed category they were talking about raw speed, not moves that make them go instantly. His speed in fighting is debatable but since he can faze out of punches and is able to fight with the flash, it's debatable. Please clarify when you say they simplified the importance with Ki and Martial arts. The super sayin form you have a point but considering they still got the massive power boost I think they did it ok. They did address the powers taking the toll on their body's. With Goku it's that he needed to go Super Sayin 4 for his body to take the 4000 power increase. With superman they stated that overusing powers such at heatvison depletes his solar radiation reserve, making his body weaker. Your final point can be combated with that, while Kryptonain Martial Arts may not beat Goku's experience, the arts that he preformed where better than what Goku learned. Also he learned from Batman, that says enough in it self. Conclusion: Death Battle is not a extremely inaccurate show masquerading as a logical show. They may have a few flaws but that is simply because of what they can do and small mistakes. Their methodology is fine for how they use it so it is fine for determining victors. They used feats and other calculations to show their strengths and limits. They also went into the core of their characters which while not relevant also has a beneficial understanding to the characters.
