Speed. What good is raw power if you can't hit your opponent?

Though, some of my techniques are designed with agile targets in mind...>>

Speed thats how i fight, and it's helpful in Tae Kwan Do, and Aikido tournments. And REALLY helpful in kendo.

Speed. I like going fast while maintaining control.

You don't need power to knock someone off his feet; I've done it. And I'm rather flimsy.

Well in real life speed + power are better when your fast and strong. If your just plain fast but really weak, it wont hurt that much. You'll also mess up eventually with all those punches and depending on your body structure and the strength of the other person and where they hit it would be all over with one hit >_> Where if your really strong and slow you'll have trouble hitting a fast person .-. Really depends if you think speed counts as how fast you hit, dodge, run, or how fast your reflexes are <_<

In games though i like power better. Speed doesn't really do much in most games i've played except like kingdom hearts II where mickey was like so fast and had such long combos that even though he wasn't as strong as sora he was godly 0_o But that kinda proves my other points cause he's not compeltely weak <_< And anti form was just super fast and weak..

Not necessarily true. I've knocked an 1.150 pound horse off his front end and have dragged the same, albeit slightly more 'terrified', horse back down to earth from a full-blown rear.
And, I've managed to take down my brother, who just so happens to be just under six feet and around 160-180 (I really don't know, he's very shy) pounds of muscle against my five feet and 110 pounds of non-muscle-non-flab.
If you get speed right, you don't need to be strong to get your point across. I find strong to be bland anyway.

well,in real life,i only dream of having such speed XD.but i can use speed well.I once fought with this dude,a couple inches taller than me.He kept punching me(but i couldne feel anything >.>) but he delt it with more power.Me on the other hand,used more speed than him so i was able to evade some of his punches.You can really say that speed is better than power if you had same experiences :\

It all comes down to how you train your muscles. Depending on what you do, you can come out with strong bulky muscle or lean enduranced muscle. And how your body structure is, will completely effect the outcome of overall strength and speed. You be surprised to see the 'big' guy be faster than the 'little' guy.
