Goofus is a Monster of the Week working for DIO who is little more than a speed bump for Gallant.

Gallant is a fleshed-out character with a sympathetic motivation and a realistic backstory.

Of course I've gone mad with power. Have you ever tried going mad without power?

Goofus stretches willing suspension of belief way too far and has a backstory and motivations that make him come across as Unintentionally Unsympathetic.

Gallant makes sure to put his ice cream in the freezer so it doesn't melt.

Goofus doesn't practice what he preaches.

Gallant sets the temperature just right before going to bed at night.

Goofus shows up at events long after they're over.

Gallant always sprays de-icer on his car doors during winter so they don't get stuck.

Goofus spends today all the money he'll never have tomorrow. Now he is buried under a literal mountain of debt.

Gallant doesn't fall for phishing scams.

Goofus cheats and backstabs at every turn and still doesn’t win.

Gallant is the very model of a modern Major-General.

Goofus doesn't have any information on vegetables, animals or minerals, doesn't know the kings of England, can't quote historical fights (in categorical order or otherwise), isn't acquainted with matters mathematical (to the point where he doesn't understand quadratic or even simple equations, has no news about binomial theorem or facts about the square of the hypotenuse, and is terrible at both integral and differential calculus), doesn't know animals' scientific names, and so on.

Gallant is a chess grandmaster who can beat even the best computers.

Goofus opens every game with the fool's mate.

Gallant plays games the way he wants to and doesn't care about making meta picks.

Umm... so, personally... this is the first time this has happened, so I'm a bit surprised. Only a centimetre away...

Goofus is a "Stop Having Fun" Guy who demands that everything be sticking to the guns the game sets. Even in singleplayer.

Gallant always tries to incorporate healthy plant foods to an otherwise plantless dish.

Goofus just puts hamburger in a blender for his meal and chugs.

Gallant is a Well-Intentioned Extremist.

Goofus hits himself over the head after learning anything.

Gallant is Genre Savvy and immediately leaves town when he learns there’s a Serial Killer on the loose.

Goofus is the white college kid that gets killed within half an hour.

Gallant is honest with himself and knows that TV Tropes ruined his life.

Prince Gallant falls in love with a princess and lives happily ever after.
