Gamera relies more on energy attacks, and most of his more powerful tactics are detrimental to himself. Hence he loses in close combat, but when it comes to firepower, it's easy to see his ultimate energy attacks outclass even Godzilla's. He always gets beat up quite a bit before using his powerful tactics, because, I admit, he isn't very durable compared to his dino counterpart.

Gamera is always heavily outmatched when it comes to close contact fighting. So yeah, Godzilla would easily throw him around there. But when it comes to firepower, Gamera could potentially either kill or greatly wound Godzilla. "Kill" is a strong word if not appropriate, when it comes to surviving single-powerful-hit, Godzilla has proven to endure terraforming force and dimentional tide, and if Gamera could be credited for his mana-harnessing of earth, Godzilla's external energy manipulation should also be counted. "Outclass" is also a very strong word, gamera technically incinerate a titanic silicon life form with a one-shot-a-lifetime-super-hot-mana-fueled Plasma, not a surprising result, but still, extraordinary, Godzilla's energy manipulation render him to be able to convert undetermined variety of outside force into his death-beam that has sent a 100 thousand ton beast into space at its maximum power, and plasma is one of those energy source.
