Death Battle already did this.

I'll post a link later.

I've watched the Screwattack Death Battle. Superman wins. I don't want answers based off the video... I want answers based off what you think.

Although, I do agree that Superman would win if they actually went all out. I think the video mentions this, but if they met each other I don't think they would even fight in the first place.

Superman would win because he's an American conservative, and those always win by a landslide.

For those curious about the video:

Anyway, as much as I'd like to say Goku, Superman would win.

Goku has more martial arts experience than Superman.  In theory, he could hold his own due to this alone.  However, Superman isn't going to slow down as much as Goku would.  Invulnerability vs Energy Level.  Superman wins.

Superman is weak to magic, would Ki be considered magic?

Obama and Clinton say otherwise.

No.
Magic is magic.  Ki is life energy or soul.  It's power but not the ability to warp the fabric of reality.

Goku. Instantaneous transmission to either get kryptonite or bring Superman somewhere with kryptonite. Proceed to Super Saiyan 3 and kill him.

Can't pretty much anyone defeat Superman, as long as they have kryptonite?

How would Goku know his weakness upon meeting him? I don't think Superman would just tell him.

It's superman.. everyone knows his weakness.

It's both a dumb and interesting question. Superman has been defeated by things that aren't kryptonite before, but Goku is basically just a skilled fighter with flying and teleportation. I think Superman would win because he can last longer in a fight.

The only advantage Goku has is his martial skills, but that won't help him when he's fighting someone who can take anything he can throw at him. Superman is stronger, faster, and he can go longer without rest. He could literally deflect Gokus most powerful Kamehameha or Genki Dama (didn't watch the dub, so I don't know what they call it there) with but a flick of his wrist. By then, Goku would be so exhausted he'd pass out.

I never understand how these fights are supposed to work when the characters are from different universes which operate differently.

It doesn't.  Its some kind of energy manipulation.  The explanation in the series sucks.  It claims to convert the user to pure energy and movement at the speed of light.  But when you teleport to other planets instantly, it sounds crap.

According to special relativity, when you travel at the speed of light there is no passage of time from your perspective. It would however be an issue for whoever he was travelling to.

Superman can't travel at the speed of light, as far as I'm aware, so at least Goku would be able to beat him in a race. Right?

That's what makes it so "fun" and "interesting": trying to reconcile the differences.

To address the OP, I personally believe that Star Trek would win in a fight against Star Wars.

What is your reasoning for that exactly? Star Wars has near magical powers running amok in it's universe, while Star Trek is pretty bare bones. Except when you cross the outer edges of the universe and turn into a God, of course.

Star Wars ships do too have shields, and yeah, enjoy your beams and phasers (or whatever stupid stuff Star Trek has) while all them Siths force grip the shit out of them and play lightsaber baseball with their severed heads.

They have Star Wars shields, which can block lasers. Since they never invented beaming technology, they don't have any shield that can counteract it. The Enterprise's computer interpreted their primitive shield as no shield at all.

I'm not saying he won't be there, he just won't help. Think of all the horrible situations the Enterprise and the Federation get into and Q proceeds to not help.

In fact, he might do something stupid to make it worse, like make their lightsabers infinite or something.

Or all the times when the Enterprise was thrown into a dangerous situation by Q himself. Lol.

All SW needs is for them to let their guard down with the Borg for a moment then any argument about technology differences becomes moot.

As long as Star Wars cannot use that dumb as dick "Incredible Cross-Sections" thingy, then Trek should win because of their exotic races like the Borg and Species 8472 and the supernatural elements like the Q.

The Q are not supernatural. They've just evolved to the point where they seem supernatural to less evolved beings such as us.
