Goku vs Link

Link has planetary range with full Triforce. I'd say Link out haxxes him with defense combinations and Triforce reality warping.

Hmm. So you have two fighters who are both skilled in their own individuel rights. One's at least Planet level, the other Planet level. One has hax (don't i can't recall which one can be used offensively), the other has powers that can boost his physical stats.....and the other stuff.
Hmm.....

Goku's speed might've been his saving grace under different circumstances...
...but in this scenario, Goku is hopelessly, hilariously even, outclassed in the hax department. There's not a whole lot got Goku can do that Link can't, and he's not really got an answer for any of his multi-day invulnerability hax, his auto-resurrection, his reality warping with the Triforce (with which he could quite literally wish for Goku to be dead, and that be that), his more versatile elemental manipulation, his ability to reflect energy attacks back at him with the Mirror Shield, time travel (which would effectively give him precognition when the fight rolled back around), et cetera. This isn't even getting into how Planet is a bare minimum for the full Triforce (it's maximum is unknown), not to mention Link being smarter than his opponent, and retaining the skill of the several past lives he lived in the past.
Yeah, voting Link given the presented scenario.

Link has items that boost his stats too, and last longer. I also don't see Goku getting past the Hylian Shield. That being said, flight from Goku would help. Link could possibly shoot him down though.

Just as a FYI, as I feel people will probably neglect this, don't forget Kaioken does horrific damage to Goku's body if he uses it for too long or uses too high a multiplier, IE: Kaioken X3 and especially X4

Ah forgot that one bit, yeah. ^^;
Hmm. Well i guess Goku can't really do much here at all due to Link's varietable abilities. Aye.....

Yep, i'd give it to link for what Perp said plus the fact Goku will wear himself out very quickly with Kaioken.
The speed equalised throws away Goku's best chance to win this.

Eh...Yeah, no, The Hylian wins, sorry Goku buddy, no getting away from the bad end of the Master Sword, if this was Post Saiyan Saga and about Namekian saga, maybe, but here, nope, I mean, basic ki blast could deflect arrows, the hookchain, and some sword beams, but fully powered by the Triforce ((courage, if iirc)), Link wins.

Yeah my vote's definitely with Link here. If it wasn't for the all speed's being equalized (which might meant that Goku's KK speed boost is equalized as well?), i would have thinked he got this.....though given the flaws of KK plus the fact that this Goku doesn't have anything to go by (i mean seriously by the time the Android Saga and up came in, Goku had more abilities like the IT and the SSJG's regen(?) ability and whatnot).
Here? Not really. Link beats Goku via what Perp said earlier.

Guys here is something we must remember, Swords and Arrows only work on Goku when his guard is down. Goku should be able to tank anything Link can dish out. Goku has this.

Doesn't the no hax stomp rule apply to this because last time I saw half of link's page were powers and abilities
I really don't understand how some people get pissed off when someone blitzes but no one says a word when we put someone who has time,space,matter,etc verses someone like Goku(this was mikaboshi by the way)
But if thats how it is then I give to link because of all his hax

All of Link's "hax" takes too much time to use and relies too heavily on game mechanics. Link only has one weapon with any planet level feats going for it, and even with speed equalized, it's very slow in its own right.
A well-aimed Ki-blast can just disarm Link, while Link can't take away Goku's Ki. I can see Goku letting Link drink some Lon Lon Milk, but letting him play a time-travelling song on the ocarina? I don't think so!

Link puts on the Magic Cape, drinks Chateau Romani, bam: 3 days straight of full invisibility and intangibility (though i think Goku's sensing helps here).WarriorWare said:
Link uses Wind Waker Magic Armor, drinks Chateau Romani, bam: 3 days straight of full invincibility.
Than he either time-travels, splits himself into four with the Four Sword or summons the Triforce and bye-bye Goku.
Link just has too much hax for Goku to deal with and he has no answer to the Triforce if summoned which considering all of the defensive hax Link has, is probably bound to happen eventually.

Sigh, there should be a rule against adding matches where speed is equalized.
As for this match, well, I agree there is a lot of hax on Link's, however, Goku still has a chance to win this namely a combination of both flight and the spirit bomb. He could fly far beyond the point where Link could see and then gather up all the energy he needs to beat Link.
Failing in that Goku wins

Can't Link with Magic Armor + Mirror Shield reflect any Ki attack Goku can throw at him?
- 40,446

Link could easily block the spirit bomb with being good and mirror shield and invincibility hax.

Also I'm pretty sure spirit bomb doesn't work against the pure hearted like link.

Common misconception with the spirit bomb not working against those that are good. Recall in the Saiyan saga that Goku had to tell Gohan to bounce the spirit bomb back towards Vegeta. Gohan himself has been shown to be pure-hearted (evident by the fact that he can ride the Nimbus). So if the spirit bomb truly doesn't effect those that are good, why bother telling Gohan to deflect it? At the angle it was coming in then it would have likely have bounced off of Gohan and hit Vegeta anyway.
This means that someone with no evil could deflect the bomb, but they would have to know to do it first

Well, it would be in Link's nature to hold up his reflecting shield, so it would block it regardless. The goodness is an added on reason.

Why are there so many "no blank stomp" rules. I mean very few matchups are completely fair for either side.

DBZ characters in vs matches main advantage is speed and AP without that advantage it's likely a stomp in the opponent favor imo like Link a guy who is haxs vs a raw power person so yea and speed equalized is like Goku walked into his death.

Goku Is Planet level... with KKx4
Base Goku is at least Small Planet level+, likely Planet level
Link is at least Planet level (Although I think he is more Multi Continent more than Planet, but meh) and has hax advantage

Remind me again why speed is equalized these days?
That seems horribly unfair to characters like Goku, Sonic, Flash, etc.
I thought wins were given based on tier proximity and overall fighting ability and prowess. nerfing a natural stat of one fighter seems horribly unfair. Most fighters/characters have hax these days, those that don't plus get their advantages not counted seem like spite match ups to me.
Also aren't fights supposed to take in a scenario between two fighters and their stats realistically and based on feats etc give the win. Magically equalizing one or two stats seem real unfair to me. Just saying

Some fights have stats certain stats equalized because people see the potential for a fight between them to be interesting if not for one or two outlier stats which would prevent a fight from even happening. For example it would be interesting to debate who would win a martial arts duel between Batman and Goku, except Goku doesn't need any skill to beat Batman due to raw power, durability, and speed. So if you want to have a discussion about that sort of fight you have to equalize a bunch of stats, and then you can get into the more interesting nuances of martial arts, strategy, techniques, etc.
Without equalization, you're very limited in who you can matchup to who in most cases.

The problam is you can equalize speed but not hax.
They are a great counter to one another if you don't have to much of the other but when you take the speed from one of them away, he/she has no way to counter hax.
