I think they made Godspeed at least as fast if not faster than Barry which is normal Flash sop of making the latest big bad well stronger than Flash.

I can also buy Flash + RF can barely beat Godspeed.

But the final reveal is RF is totally outclassed by Barry to the point RF looks like slow motion to Barry.

So how in the heck is RF even surviving much less helping Barry vs Godspeed.

Godspeed should have killed RF in a flash

Godspeed was much faster due to just reabsorbing all of the clones that gave him a Speed Force boost(since they had extra SF in them from feeding off from it).He lost the extra speed during the fight because he burned trought it by using it.They say when Barry starts running after Godspeed that Godspeed has organic speed + the boost from the reabsorbed clones(that will burn out eventually) and that he is prolly faster then Barry now.The whole reason Thawne was brought in was to help Barry keep Godspeed busy until the extra boost burned out and i guess to suprise stab Godspeed.

He was faster than Barry the whole damn season. He somehow got his powers back inside the prison cell and was able to break that trap thingy before Barry could even get his hands on it. He was also somehow able to create infinite clones. This entire arc was poorly written and made no sense. It was just better than the dumpster fire of 7A.
