All the IRL physics issues aside, super speed as long as its not subpar levels of speed.

Flight because you can travel in 3 dimensions. You wouldn't have to run around stuff, you could just go up and avoid obstacles entirely

If they are the same speed in this scenario, flight due to fewer obstacles.

Super speed

just look a MCU Thor

he can fly but gets statued by bullets and Quicksilvers and it's kinda sad

and while flying you can get bumped into birds and insects eww, and if it's hot outside then you can easily get a heat stroke if you fly up high, then fall down on the Earth and die, a very pathetic superpower

Generally super speed, but it can easily be flight too. It just depends. Super speed is more useful more often. how many shitty comments do you see that just say "___ blitz stomp"? They're often based somewhat in reality

@wabubub: Speedster > birds

Flying is like being a bird, while running fast is like being a chad

Flight. You have far less obstacles.

If this is in terms of battles then speed.

If you asking what the better travel power is? Its speed. 100%.

If you are asking what power I would rather have? Its flight. Having super speed is a nightmare. Your perception of normal things would be insanely slow. Just having a conversation with someone would seem like it takes years.

Superspeed. Learning how to fly could probably end badly if you aren't physically enhanced.

This is a difficult one to answer as in flight am I flying as fast as I can run or can I at least go Superman speed from Man of Steel movie. As this is what Id prefer to pick but not if am casually being over taken by seaguls.

Obviously super speed am thinking flash quick silver type speeds.

Flight would suck for these reasons.

Moisture and insects. You'd be plastered in bugs and constantly soaked depending on how high you flew.

Really depends of how fast the flight is. If it’s as fast as my running pace then I’d choose super speed, if it’s as fast as a car then flying.

Just realized running requires a lot of stamina/calories. Switching to flight.

Flight wouldn't mean that authorities could track me eventually and fuck me up?

I choose super speed because I can get fast on a place where people would just sense some air? (I could hide in the Bathroom), or If I'm late to work or something, I just go somewhere where there are no cameras but still close to the place I will be.

Assuming same level of speed for both abilites, why wouldn't flight be the better of the two? Not only would you still have the same travel speed to get to places but you can also have a 3D travelsal area. Plus couldn't you just hover a couple inches off the ground and go fast like that to simulate "running" for the same effect? Overall flight seems the better of the two at the same level

This is not really the battle.

It highly depends on the level of speed for both and the setting, but overall flight is a more versatile ability. It allows you to travel not just horizontally but vertically as well.

Super speed, being able to stop time while just walking and vibrating through things is the best.

and super speed also works on the brain too, I would be smarter than a pigeon

When I'm thinking about this, flight is always superior, but with massive margins. The ability to glide and fly across landscapes, regardless of speed is just amazing. Walking or running at x(**) speeds doesn't do it for me.

@ben2004: a $2 honey bun is like 300+ calories lol. High calorie foods are cheap, that’s the problem with food, not the opposite
