Thought about being cute. Time to see how long this lasts.

Lore:
Coming to Manatee City with Bulma in search of the Dragon Balls, Son Goku discovers a bizarre scene, as bipedal lizard-man was seemingly parading around the block, threatening to turn the people into dinosaurs like him and his crew of T-Rexes and Pterodactyls galore. As a pair of pterodactyls whisk away Bulma, Goku now faces off against the might of Stegron, the Dinosaur Man!

Rules (Meta):
  • Starting distance of 10 meters
  • Battle takes place in Central Park, but like Dragon Ball dinosaurs roam the landscapes.
  • Win via any means except death
  • This is 21st Budokai Goku (8-C+) vs. Classic Stegron (High 8-C). Standard equipment for Goku while Stegron has everything except Prep.
  • Speed equalized
Yap:
First in a series of matches I plan to do, essentially trying to make matches for Goku and other Dragon Ball characters with Marvel/Comic characters that feel like they'd fit into the Original Dragon Ball. Stegron I think is super reminiscent of all the beastmen early DBZ had, hell even like Gilan. Also dinosaurs are just a fun part of Dragon Ball lore in general.

Stegron is twice as strong, 50% faster, and an LS advantage of more than an order of magnitude. Even equalizing speed, Goku's got his work cut out for him.

Stegron’s 3 times as strong, where’d you get twice from?


Anyways I’m voting for stegron because it would seem all he needs is one tail strike to win since according to his profile that can one shot spider man who’s 3 times as durable as Goku, and even without the tail stegron still has an big AP advantage and a massive LS advantage

Mental math error.

How do their mobility and ranged attacks compare?

Goku has better mobility, he’s able to leap to clouds, for range I calced stegron’s range based on his official height instead of the statement on his profile about his size being extremely inconsistent, and based on my calc stegron’s range is 0.8 meters(standard melee range) with his arms and about 1.3 meters(extended melee range) with his tail, Goku’s range according to his profile is standard melee range physically tens of meters with Ki blasts
 
I feel like Goku could actually win, despite the statistical disadvantage.
Stegron is stronger, quite, and I feel like Goku would acknowledge his strength very quickly, either by combat cognitivity alone or direct expressions such as a hit blocked or suffered, or dealt to his tough hide, or witnessing damage being done to the environment (it's common suspension of disbelief in DBto have a guy smash a rock and realize they're galaxy level).

At that point, considering Goku's combat skill, which includes a coincidentally high amount of experience against dinosaurs and bigger opponents, and higher agility, I think he could wear Stegron overtime and claim victory.
Stegron did manage to strike the equally faster and more agile Spider-Man, but Goku is a smaller target and his martial arts-mindset may let him stay more on guard against such attacks, especially against a tail, an appendix with which he is familiar.

The power pole is a great weapon to attack from afar and Stegron's kill spot near may inadvertently be exploited, as bonking a staff on the temples sounds like a very normal thing to do. Unless Stegron manages to grab a hold of it and yank it off, Goku may keep bashing him from afar and different angles to deal little but constant damage, and probably annoy him as well.
The kamehameha may be a useful tool to deal a good amount of damage, considering it upscales by a good amount, and it's not something I see Stegron being able to dodge, considering his cumbersome body and his lack of knowledge on such attack.

Goku may also exploit the environment, as he is used to such type of area, and utilize other misleading techniques such as the zanzoken (afterimages) to confuse Stegron even more. Stegro can control the dinosaurs around, but his powers aren't flawless and I doubt they'd be of any help, as Goku holds no quals at all in killing them and has the acrobatics necessary to nimbly dodge and climb them. They may even just turn into more hiding spots or disorientation hazards for Stegron himself, rather than for Goku.

I retract my vote for stegron and am neutral until I’ve had more time to think about your points

Good analysis, vote for Goku then?
 
After careful consideration, I’m voting for Goku for samanpatou’s reasons impress you should’ve done spider man he would’ve won
