What exact advantage does flying give you on a fight/vsbattles debate?

[Gzartus]

Does it really give any advantage to the character? If both have range attacks then what is the difference?

 

[RedHairShanks56]

A big one, but i think it depends on each character and case by case

 

[DemiiPowa]

It makes it more difficult for the opponent (who i assume can't fly) to tag their target.

[Gzartus]

Yeah but if both had range attacks then what is the BIG difference? Assuming both move at the same speeds

 

[Wokistan]

Easier and less predictable mobility. Also if the other dude is grounded you can just go up till you're out of range and they can't do much, and you can't be incapped by being dropped down a hole. Kharn the Betrayer has a couple losses via being thrown off a planet, if he could fly back those wouldn't be losses.

Not having flight makes you susceptible to BFR (unless the said character have teleportation of some sort)

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Flight is a good advantage against those with trash range as said above by others but an obvious downside is if the character in question has only flight and little to no ranged attacks. They are still forced to get within range of the opponent otherwise it will be a stalmate. However most characters who can fly usually have decent ranged attacks so this isn't a problem for them.

Yeah they basically rain down death on their opponent from above, throw them off the planet or tons of other options
