I want to vote Doom in this match. Most of that comes from me having issues with a lot of anime and manga characters being super fucking powerful. Seriously how have those guys not killed every living thing on Earth with their battles?
In what stage does Goku start the battle in? I think that could really affect the outcome. I doubt he is able to start in his most powerful form, and if the TV shows taught me anything, its that Goku can take multiple episodes to power up.
I'm going to withhold my vote for now. I want someone to answer what level Goku starts at. If he can start at a high level I will vote for him, but since neither guy has prep time I'm thinking he starts in his normal state. If so Doom takes this for me.
Goku wouldnt really have a problem leveling up. Remember he got comfortable being able to just hang out in SS1 form. He would be able to buy enough time to power up higher if\when needed. I think that SS1\SS2 would be plenty to kick Doom around a bit, but not likely to defeat him. If not he could hold him off\hurt him enough to get to SS3 and then its game over for Victor.
Yeah, it's worth pointing out that even his transition to SS3 only takes a little bit of time. It's hardly the epic journey to SS that it was for him early on in his career.
Well,depending on the time in the series, it could take Goku minutes or mere moments to transform into S.S.3. If this was Goku at the end of G.T then not long at all. In fact during the fight with Buu(Gotenks absorbed), he was able to jump from his normal form to S.S. 3 in a matter of a few seconds.

Even during his fight with Kid Buu,it didn't take him very long at all. I guess he found more occasion to practice that one? I don't know lol.
That video is anime filler. In the canon not only does it take Goku some time to transform into SSJ3, but it puts such a massive strain on his body that he can't withstand the transformation for long.
Regardless, I'm leaning Goku as Doom can't use prep for this match, and his default shields likely cannot withstand the saiyan's strongest attacks. I'll cast my votes tomorrow though.
If Doom lets this boil down to an all out fight, then he'll come out on the short end of things. In terms of overall power, he can't come close to Goku nor does he have the actual fighting skills to go one on one.
Doom's biggest and best weapon has always been his mind. He's often used superior technology, strategy and intelligence to get the best of opponents vastly more powerful than himself. There've been times in which Doom has been able to use his technology and inventive genius to to usurp the powers of bengs like the Beyonder and Galactus only to be undone by his own overconfidence.
Doom's armor is nothing to sneeze at either as it does grant him various superhuman physical attributes, can generate any number of energy blasts, protective force fields, etc.
Something you don't really hear about Doom a lot is that he knows a good deal about sorcery. In the comics, he used to engage Mephisto annually in a mystical battle to release his mother's soul from Mephisto's hell. One of Doom's magical abilities, one that's rarely used but is there, is that he can mystically switch bodies with others. So potentially, Doom could use this ability to switch bodies with Goku and simply wreak havoc on him. Goku isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer and would be taken completely by surprise. Not to mention the fact that he has no idea how to utilize the technology of Doom's armor. Doom could simply use Goku's superior abilities to take out Goku with Goku trapped in his body.
Doom's body might be destroyed but he's someone that would consider it an acceptable loss. That's just the type of person Doom is. Plus, he'd consider it a grand scheme. Now his personality, his intellect, his soul if you will would inhabit Goku's body, a body that's ultimately vatly more powerful than his own even with his armor.
I wouldn't blame anybody for voting for Goku as he is so much more powerful and a much better fighter. I just don't believe he has the strategic capabilities nor the killer instinct to be fully prepared for someone like Doom.
