Culwych1 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hahaha! Terrain: Open Desert. I thought this was an easy win for Flash but given the fight's in the desert, Sandman gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Incredible Hulk Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Lol what a stroke of luck terrain wise for Sandman Sandman takes this pretty easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnamax Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Good point on the terrain, it gives Sandman a pretty good edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergy_Berg Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yeah, on a city street Wally could have won this, but in a desert it's all Sandman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigballerju Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 LOL Sandman got lucky here. Flash has no way in this location to put down Sandman. Sandman wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega11 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I think Flash is being vastly underestimated here. Here are a few of the many ways Flash could win: 1. Create enough friction to turn the entire desert into glass(including Sandman). 2. Steal Sandman's speed rendering him a living statue. 3. Corkscrew deep underground until he reaches the water table, which he can then use for any number of effects. 4. Blow away all of the sand in the desert. 5. Knockout Sandman before he can turn into sand(I'm not extremely familiar with the character but DC comics database says that he can convert his body into sand, not that it is permanently made of sand but that could be in error).

More powerful versions, like a Flash that can beat the hell out of the entire JLU or something, need to be discarded in favor of a version that fits the slot Flash is in here. I believe speed stealing like what you described was mentioned before the matches actually started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply assuming it's pre-Flashpoint Wally West with no P.I.S. If there were any power restrictions agreed upon elsewhere I was unaware of them.

Guest bigballerju Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 When has Flash ever just blown the entire sand in a desert away? When has he turned all of it to glass? Sandman's entire body is sand. In a desert Sandman could be everywhere. Oh and digging deep for water is a huge mistake since you don't know how far down the water is. He could end up giving Sandman a advantage and have Sandman bury him with massive amounts of sand, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega11 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 1. When has Flash ever needed to do those things? 2. They are all perfectly within his capabilities. 3. It doesn't really matter if the water is 3 or 300 feet down, Flash can get to it before Sandman has a chance to do much more than realize he's in a fight. 4. How is Sandman going to do anything at all to Flash who is operating at-or-near lightspeed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergy_Berg Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 What, is Wally West completely impervious to attack or something? If so, his comics must be very boring.Sandman could pretty easily affect him, what with Sandman basically becoming the battlefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigballerju Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Wally West doesn't start out running at near light speed for one. Two do you know how much sand is in a desert? Don't just tell me Flash could turn the entire desert into glass or blow it away without proof. If Flash digs down their is nothing to stop Sandman from filling his lungs with sand. Also how much water you think Flash will get deep down there? You have proof he can get enough out for a entire desert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest force_echo Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I doubt Flash could displace or affect all of the Sand in an entire desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega11 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Some of you guys don't seem to fully grasp what Flash is capable of once you take away the P.I.S. factor. Sandman will not be able to touch Wally...like at all. If Flash is serious Sandman will never even be able to see him. His speed and reflexes are far too high. One or two infinite mass punches and suddenly the desert is a crater. Flash could whip up a could of tornadoes to stop Sandman from being able to form anything solid. There are soooo many ways for Flash to win this once you sit down and think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pseudonym Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Flash isn't doing any Infinite Mass Punches. He's the Team Anchor, not the oh Shit Button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergy_Berg Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Flash isn't doing any Infinite Mass Punches. He's the Team Anchor, not the oh Shit Button.Exactly. Wally in this fight won't be anywhere near lightspeed and won't be able to use most of his best powers.If he was in the oh shit slot, then anything goes. Infinite mass punches, speed stealing, and all manner of crap would be acceptable. But here, anchor against anchor, Wally gets beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Omega11 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 As I said: I was assuming an unrestricted Wally since he was approved, if there are limits placed on him then things might change. However he doesn't need the infinite mass punch to win; he can get the same result through other means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
