The biggest thing is that Goku needs to concentrate which creates a delay before he even disappears.
Which is part of why the Warp Kamehameha was only used on Cell. He needed a large window to both prepare a full power Kamehameha and teleport, and deliberately aimed at the Earth in order to create that window. Cell didn't stop him because he thought it was a bluff.
The actual transmission itself is instant - it's just Goku who isn't as fast.
Also, the Instant Kamehameha would probably become a lot more viable as a technique with practice. Goku improvised it against Cell.
Yo, Saiga, did you get a chance to ask? I honestly haven't checked BL's Grand Order thread in a while.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariWell, obviously...probably....maybe not, but he should, it's a waste if he doesn't. Problem is, Sapp's popularity started to trail off in 2006 and Toriyama wouldn't actually be involved in another Dragon Ball project until 2010.
The DB Forever interview occurred in 2004, when Sapp was still the biggest thing in Japan but Toriyama had no desire to draw Dragon Ball.
Buldogue's lawyerAlso, Bob Sapp is infamous for being a chump and taking dives in fights, and is mostly popular in Japan due to racism. So the idea of Mr. Hercule Satan losing to Sapp in a fight is silly.
My various fanfics.Really? Man, I really gotta pay attention to that fight.
Then again, I probably didn't realize it when I watched it the first time cause I watched the original Next Dimension Dub of DBZ, so I didn't actually know what the Kikoho was.

One Strip! One Strip!Goku still needs to put his fingers up. Flash could literally break said fingers in the time it would take for Go-
Flash could go home and make a sandwich in the time it took Goku to lift his hand. The Speed Force is f'cking broken.
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!We're not talking about Goku here though - we're talking about Instant Transmission, the technique.
In other news, Mr. Satan can probably defeat Nam. If only because Mr. Satan is insanely tough. Motherfucker tanked a bitchslap from Perfect Cell.
The Flash could literally make the Sandwich before he actually thought of making the sandwich. That's how stupid the whole thing is.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariThere's a grandfather paradox joke in this somewhere.
Hercule? Beat Nam? No way. Nam jumped like 200-500 feet in the air. So he could crush his opponent with his forearms.
The only way he could possibly master this technique is to jump off of cliffs and ram his arms into the ground. That, or he spontaneously decided to do so after he realized he could jump that high. Either way, that's insane.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!Again 2004 Sapp, not 2010 Sapp or even 2006 Sapp. This was still the Bob Sapp with an 800 lbs squat who crossed over from unknown indie wrestler to legit K1 fighter to Mixed Martial Artist, beating several of the best fighters in the world doing nothing but rush forward while swinging his arms]]. It was only after the interview that his fellow fighters figured out how to beat him, he was stripped of the IWGP Heavyweight Title due to Inokism, the once dominant beast had to come to terms with the fact he now had medical bills to pay and decided the best way to solve his new found problems was get in as many money matches as he could with the philosophy of quitting the moment it looked like he might get hurt.
Sapp was popular in Japan because he beat people up, and just because he sold out at the expense of his reputation doesn't mean he still isn't a strong guy. Mir Cro Cop, the man who broke Sapp's orbital bone and thus was partially responsible for sending Sapp on his downwards spiral, insisted many years after the fact that it wasn't an easy fight and that Sapp was still a beast who could be a great fighter if he improved his training. Toriyama didn't say Sapp would beat Satan, he said Satan was weaker than Sapp.(Lashley and Akebono were probably the only opponents who were maybe as strong as Sapp. The man was a guard on the offensive line]], a position that requires you to be one of the biggest strongest guys ever.)
Buldogue's lawyerFor instances of weaker characters triumphing over stronger characters? Ignoring the use of power-boosting techniques like the Kaio-ken or alternative victories like Buu absorbing Gohan...
Goku and Piccolo taking down Raditz. In this case, Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon was charged up to the point that its power level exceeded Raditz's, however, so there is still an element of numerical superiority.
Vegeta killing transformed Zarbon. Apparently even after his zenkai he was weaker than Zarbon, but managed to win with some dirty tactics. This is the purest example of a weaker character triumphing over a stronger.
Perfect Cell being untouchable to Trunks, due to the latter's mobility issue. In this case Cell didn't really "win" so much as prove that Trunks couldn't win, and then was inspired to host the Cell Games.
That's about it as far as I know, though. Maybe some of the fights in the old Dragon Ball, but we don't really have measurements to use.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I wouldn't even count the last example. Cell very easily could have made himself stronger than Trunks, and demonstrated that he could, he simply didn't need to.
It was a nice twist but it's not really an example of a weaker character beating a stronger one. It's an example of stronger character letting themselves seem weaker than another character because, either way, they weren't going to lose.
Oh right. I keep forgetting about the Zarbon thing. As I understand, he threw dirt in his eyes, and that last move he did (where he punched a hole in Zarbon's stomach and fired a point blank blast into his chest).
There must have been other stuff too though. Hard to believe simple dirty fighting turned the tide like that. I mean, I know it can, but it's rarely a factor at that level unless it's the villains doing it.
One Strip! One Strip!

Even with Instant Transmission, Super 17 managed to keep up with and follow Goku in GT.
It counts...kinda.
I'll show myself out.
