The man, the myth, the legend. We all know who he is, and we can all agree that he can solo this gauntlet normally. What people can't seem to agree on however, is just how skilled Goku actually is. There are people who say that Goku is one of the best martial artists in fiction, whilst others say he's below average. This gauntlet is designed to test Goku's skill, and only Goku's skill, against characters who are amongst the best out there (apart from Naruto, he's just there for a starting point).
Rules:
- Stats equalised for everyone. Goku can use feats from any transformation or any time period (including feats with his power pole) for skill, but there are no stat boosts here, and everyone is on the level.
- No energy blasts for either team. This is strict CQC, so no arguments consisting of "Character A spams blasts from a distance. GG."
- No other abilities that don't directly relate to a CQC fight. For example, that would mean no doors for Midnighter, but he can use the battle computer. You guys should be able to make the distinctions when they come.
- Characters who use weapons can keep those weapons, but can't use abilities with them. For example, Jin can use his staff, but can't extend it, shrink it etc.
- This gauntlet is probably out of order due to it being difficult to definitively rank skill. I apologise in advance.
- All fights take place in a Budokai arena, because why not.

If the gauntlets out of order let me know and I'll change it.
Last note, I know this breaks the rules of huge nerfing to make a fair fight, but this isn't so much supposed to be a 'fight' thread as it is a thread to have a proper discussion on Goku's actual combat skill. Might still get locked though, I'm not a mod. If this needs to be in Gen. Discussion let me know as well and I'll switch it.
I did look this thread up beforehand, but the only one I could find was locked for having non anime characters involved.
Have fun :)
EDIT - Due to people pointing out that there were too many swordsmen (despite there being only three) I removed some of them and shuffled some other people around. However, Sasaki is still at round 10 since I can't think of a h2h user who can beat him off the top of my head. Let me know if there is one and I'll replace Sasaki.
