Gotta wonder, is Savitar faster than RF at his best? In order for them to be truly rivals and opposites RF has to be equal to Barry's full potential and.. I mean...

Barry's gonna beat Savitar, I don't think anyone thinks otherwise, it's kinda hard to spoil something like "The Bad Guy Dies Or Is Beaten" cuz that's what pretty much always happens. Maybe Wally will beat Savitar, like in the comics.

And, generally, Reverse-Flashes are always faster than Flashes. Flash has to win by guile, rather than by pure strength. In Season 1, it took a team-up with Oliver and Firestorm to defeat Wellsobard, for example. Yeah true, but the only two examples I can think of (out of the four) are Professor Zoom and... Zoom.

Eobard could later be explained as being faster only because his speed force - is influencing the + Speed Force users in a bad way, making them slower.

Zoom manipulates his personal flow of time, unfair plz nerf.

And that was a far more experienced Eobard vs a Mach 1.5 (At best) Flash, Oliver Queen (A human despite everything) and a Firestorm who really doesn't know how to be Firestorm.

I'm imagining that Barry's full potential will be equal to Eobard's, as in the comics their raw speed would hypothetically be the same as the both generate Speed Force, positive or negative.
