https://www.quora.com/How-many-different-characters-have-been-mentioned-at-least-once-in-ASOIAF-as-yet

The thing about ASOIAF that you might not know if you haven't read the books is there are an ABSURD number of characters, and they are almost all fleshed out at least a little bit. I honestly wouldn't doubt if more named characters died in the Red Wedding chapter than in all of Harry Potter.

edit: After some research only 14 named characters died in the RW, 15 if you include Robb's wolf. I may have overestimated, but yeah, ASOIAF easily has more deaths.

For simplicity's sake, I'm going to assume he doesn't have any of his connections, backup plans, or gadgets whatsoever - without these rules, he would probably just use a pre-existing backup plan, but that's no fun at all.

(1) Batman steals a computer.

(2) Batman uses said computer to Google "New York Nuclear Bunker."

(3) Batman finds a nuclear bunker inside the Brooklyn Bridge, and although others might be more practical, he chooses this one because he's Batman and he takes advice about theatrics literally.

(4) Because he still has 23 and a half hours to kill, Batman hacks into a construction company database and forges an order for a buttload of lead sheets to be delivered to his new Brooklyn Bridge Batcave. At the same time, he orders some building and welding supplies.

(5) Once everything is in place inside his BBB (which would probably take 12 hours or so), he sets to work on building a nuclear fallout shelter inside his nuclear fallout shelter. Nothing too fancy, just a huge lead box which he chills out inside of.

(6) There are probably some other bits of a nuclear fallout shelter which I don't know and Batman would, being one of the smartest men in DC. He acquires the necessary materials for these the same way he got the lead, and builds as much as he can before the bomb goes off.

>They can take up to three tests a day regardless of passing or failing.

That means they can take 1095 tests per year.

Searching just architecture books yielded 31248 results

That means our hero would have to successfully read, comprehend, and test for about 28.5 years just to get through that. Not all of these books likely exist in the store but even still I see no way.

Also, as the hero reads the books, new books will be written and brought in.

As annoying of a subreddit as it is for getting your question answered I think we should make /r/asksciencefiction more apparent in the link lists just so we don't get pure 'questions' with no real fighting potential like this sure you could make an argument with pictures from the comics but the top comment is in essence "no unless time travel"

Also I've been seeing more downvoted lately and even a few comments which had a negative karma rating but there's little more that can be done

But in this case the ends justify the means. Preventing the spread of information is bad but at least we have arguments now. I remember when the button was still there and we had 'arguments' like this where people would downvote instead of making arguments. All those downvotes were there to discourage me from continuing to argue which means that ultimately the removal of downvotes and knowledge of how to use them means we can more freely share information as there is no fear of being downvoted

I think it might actually be a low-level superpower for him. He can see branching timelines, so he can essentially pick the path with the best chance for success - on a small scale at least, not on the scale of Contessa's Path to Victory, but still useful. But beyond that, one of the books, which are canon, explained his seemingly high levels of plot armor by giving him subconscious probability warping. They said something about him warping probability on a quantum level due to a combination of his Timelord physiology and the sheer amount of time traveling he's done, or some such technobabble. Basically, someone pointed out to him that he gets very lucky very often - a companion in a totally different part of a space station pulls a lever that happens to shift things in his favor, or he's able to catch hold of a convenient log while being washed downstream, and hypothesized that he has some sort of super luck. He decided to test it by throwing an ordinary ball at an ordinary wall until it passed through, which it eventually did, even though that should have been extremely improabable, to the point of being impossible for all practical purposes. Here's a transcript for anyone interested

When you combine those two abilities with his charisma, and his tendency to appear much less dangerous than he is... well, it's not that surprising that he's able to talk down villains so very well. So in other words, I'm pretty sure The Doctor manages to disarm you.

From what I heard, Abeloth is the most powerful character in Star Wars.

https://hooktube.com/watch?v=X9xTS_DEx_w

But Abeloth vs Darth Hulk could be a fair fight I would say. But I would root for Darth Hulk.

Maybe Abeloth could hypnotize him or drive him mad. Apparently the only thing that could kill her was the dagger.

In 3.5 it can be resisted, in 5e it can be resisted, and in AD&D it can be resisted (I'll edit in the scan later). So I don't know what he's talking about. HOTU Thanos would also easily destroy all of DnD besides AD&D gods, Ao, and maybe the Lady of Pain.

You probably thought that Hal Jordon would win.

False. The answer is Dwight K. Schrute.

Dwight has an extensive knowledge of modern and prehistoric fighting styles. As well as having read Sun Tzu's The Art of War when he was 7 years old, Dwight is a tactical genius matched only by Gengolean- the bastard child of Genghis Khan and Napolean Dynamite.

Dwight spends his weekends tilling the fields and tending to his beets, thus his physical prowess is virtually unmatchable. Dwight is also proficient with all firearms from the arquebas to the .44 Magnum. His shooting skills are comparable to his spirit-mentor, Jim Raynor.

Dwight shitstomps anyone in the banner 12/10

It's within the scope of usage. learn what the hell you're talking about before making a shitty novelty account.

You're severely underestimating the bite force of a croc or alligator. A salt water croc has a bite force of 3,700 pounds per square inch. 16,460 newtons. Nat geo says that might be close to what a t rex could do.

You can check out some info on a pro baseball players batting force here https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-bat-speed-of-hitters-in-MLB (I'm assuming that it is much higher than that of a knight in plate armor swinging a much heavier mace much, much slower)

Let's see, according to Kakorot84 on the DBWiki, there is a logical series of equations to finding your RL power level:

• Step 1. Add height( in Inches) + weight (in pounds)

• Step 2. Add total of bench press, leg press, military press, deadlift, bicep curl (150 + 350 + 110 + 255 +100=965)

• Step 3. Take 100 and divide it by average reaction time. (100/0.25 = 400)

• Step 4. Add up running speed (MPH) and it to force of punch (in pounds) (15 + 450 = 465)

• Step 5. Add up total and divide by 100. (212 + 965 + 400 + 465 = 2042/100 = 20.42)

With these formulas, here's what I got using gross means:

• Step 1. 60.15 + 619.85 = 680

• Step 2. 160 + 1370.46 + 201.5 + 155 + 50 = 1936.96

• Step 3. 100 / 0.19 = 526.32

• Step 4. 7.4 + 400.5 = 407.9

• Step 5. (680 + 1936.96 + 526.32 + 407.9) / 100 = 35.5118

The power level of a grossly average human being is 35.51.

So, multiplying this by the number I got here (7,436,427,137) gives us a power level of...

264,080,913,203.72

We'd make it past round 8, but we'd better have a white flag in R9 if we want to survive for at least a minute.

EDIT!

After doing some more research, I've realized that SSJB Goku's current power level hasn't been officially confirmed, though we know it's on par with Beerus, who still has a much greater power level than even Golden Frieza.

So, I still have to say that we'd still lose to SSJB Goku, though we'd probably surive for aout 30 or 40 seconds longer.

It part of the Vader comic, but IIRC, this one is the crossover with the Star Wars title. The story is called Vader Down, and it's a small part of the Vader Vol.1 and 2 you can find on Amazon here. That's the whole run right there, the HC vol 1 and 2. If they ever do a solo film for Vader, this better be the plot.

Casper the Friendly Ghost

He has no problem going through stuff while carrying physical objects. So barriers and guards wouldn't be able to stop him from just walking the whole way.

I have a black belt so I'm a master martial artist.

I trained with an old Japanese man in how to use a katana, so I'm an expert swordsman as well.

Grew up on a farm, giving me all sorts of knowledge about animals and the outdoors also I've ridden horses so basically I'm like John Wayne.

I have friends in the military so I can easily gain sensitive knowledge by talking to them.

I've read both The Prince and The Art of War so clearly I'm now a master strategist.

I've installed my own brakepads so I'm a master mechanic as well.

I pinstriped my car, Fast and Furious level driving ability confirmed.

Did I mention I've visited both European monasteries and Asian monasteries? That explains my expectional will power and luck.

I took a programming and forensics class in college, so yeah Batman level detective skills.

And I've traveled around the world so basically James Bond level cultured and suaviness.

I think I can probably take down Nightwing at max, unless we are extrapolated weaknesses than I'm screwed because I smoke weed immediately reducing me to a couch ridden pizza eater watching DBZ repeats at 1am

Aquaman vs Nolan Batman is such a pathetically one sided fight that you don't even need feats to prove Aquaman's superiority. He has super strength, super jumping, excellent endurance, reflexes, you name it. Don't underestimate the King.

Here's a good link.

>Ben as Batman

We don't know enough yet to judge on that. He's a great actor and we only heard like one or two lines in the trailer.

>Batman suit looks fat

Well it obviously need protective layers and Ben is buff as shit.

>They're going to make Batman win because he's batman

How can you even tell that from the trailer?

>Wonder Woman is there... like wtf

She's the third piece of the DC Trinity. It makes sense for her to have screen time.

>"Do you bleed"... what? Batman doesn't say this shit.

Really? He makes puns in the comics.

These aren't necessarily identifiers as to the movie will blow and more like nitpicking. It showed a lot more good than bad.

I've fresh run out of ideas, so... recommendations thread, I guess. I've been watching anime for a good decade +, so I guess I can help out.

Also, get hype for Gate. It combines hard fantasy with modern military warfare in an interesting way- and to anyone who's interested, the Manga's on Batoto for all to see.

Edit: Also, get hype for High School DxD BorN. It's somewhat NSFW tho.

A little bit off topic but I once argued that someone with similar powers (specifically The Master from Hoshi no Samidare) should be able to find a place hidden using the fidelus charm (from Harry Potter) since 'the sum of human knowledge' would include the hidden location.

The man speaks the truth.

Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F are both DBZ movies, not Dragon Ball Super. And they ARE canon. Well, they tell the exact same story and much better so we use them as canon, so they count.

Here is the Amazon listing if anyone reading this doesn't believe me.

So while MNG might not be allowed, God is, as well as Blue, which is much more powerful than what we've seen in Z.

Ahem, 343i seems to kinda disagree:

>SUMMARY

>The Scorpion’s rugged, adaptable design has changed little from its origins at the dawn of human interstellar colonization. This vehicles has remained in service due a combination of affordability, simplicity, and versatility that is difficult to match by other – supposedly superior – designs. The Scorpion’s functional uses are numerous and varied, though the UNSC uses it predominantly for direct assault, localized defense, and anti-armor operations.

>The Scorpion’s design has become the template for all contemporary UNSC main battle tanks. Its heavy automation and reliable autoloader allows the tank to be operated by one individual, though the most common variants seat a secondary gunner to operate a pintle-mounted machine gun. The flat, broad-armored body is inset within four independently articulated bogies fitted with adaptive track segments. The track plates feature makeshift hard points that allow infantry to climb aboard the side of the tank and use it for transportation, though this is not recommended for use in combat zones.

>ARMAMENT

>Contemporary Scorpions are both resilient and mobile, equipped with a powerful M512 90mm smoothbore cannon for anti-tank and anti-fortification use, and a pintle-mounted M247 7.62mm medium machine gun which supplies efficient mid-range anti-infantry suppression.

The Scorpion certainly isn't the biggest offender among sci-fi tanks, though.

Haha, its cool. Maybe i over reacted when he said "dc" lol.

Mageddon is an incredibly powerful telepath, he enslaved superman and forced him to move him around, the guy is as big as a solar system lol. If he didn't want supes, he could have easily killed him.

Manchester Black is another powerful telepath, who was about to kill supes via pinching the blood vessels in his brain. IIRC he also snapped his fingers and sent supes flying from earth to saturn (I think it was black, not 100%) He wanted supes alive to switch minds with bizzaro.

I can't fucking wait to see this movie, with all the reviews calling it a masterpiece it got me incredibly hyped. I haven't been this excited since the Dragon Ball movies.

You should probably include a citation to Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder Vol. 2 God Bomb since you are using some of his dialogue and plot details.

I encourage everyone to check it out who hasn't. It doesn't have Hercules, but it is an epic story and one of the best comics of 2013. Start with Vol. 1 God Butcher.

Not entirely true according to this.

I do, but I don't actually have the games. I play on Pokemon Showdown though.

Here is a compiled list of muppets. That's a lot of god dam muppets. If the arena was small enough, the sheer numbers could possibly overwhelm Darth if blood lusted. Also, many of the them have implied monster strength -- Big Bird, Snuffleupagus, Frazzle, Beautiful Day Monster, and Sweetums to name a few.

I'd give them a 1/10.

Now, if you were to allow all creatures from Henson productions such as Farscape, The Storyteller, Mother Goose Stories, The Hoobs, Construction Site and Dinosaurs, as well as from the films Labyrinth, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Buddy, The Country Bears and The Dark Crystal, then the outcome would be very different. This is cheating of course, but still fun to imagine.

Does he have any dueling feats? Musashi also fought in a war, though he was on the losing side. He was also tutored from a very young age and won his first duel as a child against an adult, and continued dueling up until he was an old man. The claim that he has more experience than Musashi is a bold one, and i would like some more explanation of that.

In terms of equipment, i totally agree. however, Musashi often gave himself poorer weapons than his opponent simply to mess with their heads, and has a lot of feats defeating opponents who have the advantage in terms of weaponry.

Also, can you specify what his weapon of choice would be, and who he fought against in addition to training? Musashi had experience against flexible weapons, polearms, swords, and in his book of five rings states that he tried to teach himself the basics of every weapon he has every encountered.

Lastly, how much do you know about his strategy? Musashi wrote a book that is second only to The Art of War when it came to training Samurai. At the very least, this gives us an idea into his fighting psychology so we can know what he may do in reaction to certain techniques. Did Dydyński have any common strategic maneuvers or writing/teaching that he passed on?

What's the oldest literary work (or translation) you've read in its entirety? In my case it's The Art of War, attributed to Sun Tzu. There is debate about its origins, but estimates generally place it in the sixth to third centuries BC.

>ARMAMENT The M820 Scorpion is just as heavily armored and mobile as its predecessors, and represents a new weapon platform without decades of deferred technology revisions and historical compromises.Most notably, the tanks M990 electrothermal-chemical (ETC) 150mm smoothbore cannon breaks legacy ammo compatibility with the M808 in order to accomodate both planned cannon-launched guided munitions and future advances in energetic propellants.

Right of the bat we see it has a higher velocity and a bigger canon, I belive that the round is most likely Tungsten because that's what the old one was made of, but there is nothing concrete on that.

To I do agree that both the unknown armor, and the unknown specifics of the caliber are rather big hurdles against it.

Here's a list of all of the comics featuring him

I'll assume just swords and hidden blades, because if guns are involved then it's unfair. Ezio is the better trained of the two, and he took on ten members of the Vatican guard at once, 5 of which had muskets. However, Edward is a much dirtier fighter and used two swords.

In the book AC: Brotherhood, Ezio would use a sword and a dagger at the same time while fighting. I'd say that, while Edward is the dirtier fighter, and a hell of a fighter himself, Ezio's more refined fighting gives him the edge. I'd say Ezio 7-10.

When Godzilla came out last year, this was written about how the US Military would take it down. I'd think Kaiju from Pacific Rim would be similar.Turns out it'd be relatively simple:

1. Blind it with a buttload of rockets filled with white phosphorous. If the eyes are organic, "they will be toast".
2. Drop two Massive Ordance Penetrator bombs on it. These bombs weigh in at 30,000 pounds and are designed to penetrate 200 ft of earth. The second is in the event the first misses.

What was interesting about these matches was that a majority of them were tied and/or flipped flopped between whom would have won. Only 1 match had an overwhelming sway one way and that was Samus vs Shantae (poor Shantae). Anyway next r/WWW PPV will be on October 7th followed by another PPV on the 28th. Still deciding on whether or not its an all women's PPV or Halloween themed, so here's a poll so you can vote on what show it will be on October 28th.

So, this is a thing now.

http://www.cnet.com/news/benedict-cumberbatch-officially-to-make-movie-magic-as-doctor-strange/

Thoughts anyone? I haven't read any Dr. Strange so I have no idea if this is a good idea or a bad idea.

I've enjoyed it so far. The gamer is a min/max player too and is constantly surprised at how ridiculously op his power is(learns abilities/magic just by "using" a tech book). Drawings good (it's a web manwha I believe) and translation is well done. Can be a bit slow at parts(he grinds his skills out), but has kept me interested and the action is well done.

I'd say it's probably 3rd place(out of 14) in what I'm reading atm. 8/10

Currently #1 in this list; https://www.mangaupdates.com/stats.html?period=month12 beating out attack of titan and breaker new waves(my personal #1 though read Breaker first!)

>That's... not at all what happened; infact the page explicitly says he held back subconciously cause he was afraid.

I said it was also stated. Along with being afraid of getting caught up in the explosion Frieza also did secretly want to fight at full power all along.

> Also I'm pretty sure frieza last resort is not infact blowing up a planet at all; two out of the three times he destroys a planet he had many more options and available methods.

By feats his last resort is trying to blow up the planet when he is beaten.

> This is what I was replying too which you used to dismissively wave away an opponents point.

His point was bad guys have no reason to bother with ki control but that’s ridiculous because there isn’t any reason for them to want to destroy the only thing they have to stand on and float around in space. The things you brought up don’t prove bad guys don’t have any reason to bother with ki control.

> Though you havent sufficiently argued either why zamazu or frieza dont blow up planets when they are trying to, you just say potency control as though it's the only thing you need when its outright just an inconsistency that your cherry picking to not exist which you told your opponent not to do.

This doesn’t make sense. Zamasu explicitly stated he doesn’t want to harm nature, just mortals. Frieza subconsciously held back. Neither of those prove that potency control doesn’t exist. I don’t see how I’m cherry picking.

And Frieza literally has blown up planets when he’s trying to and his subconscious isn’t holding him back.

Katana Tip

Longsword tip

By the wedge alone the longsword has far more piercing power. Add in quality of steel and its absurdly one sided.

Longswords were known to be turned around and held at the blade (gauntlets were awesome) so you could use the pommel as a hammer to crumple. You can not do this with a Katana.

Galactus does well in a multiverse threatening battle and takes attacks on that level.

Also, his ultimate universe counterpart who was explicitly compared and said to be weaker than the 616 version took a Big Bang. (Need a second to find a scan)

Not to mention that current Galactus is a multiversal abstract outside of traditional time and space or that Galactus has high end regeneration https://m.imgur.com/jcsYHAi

SCP (Secure Contain Protect) is a fan made writing website about the fictional SCP Foundation secretive organization that contains anomalous or supernatural items and entities away from the eyes of the public.

so just read the entires .

there is also fan-made game SCP contaiment breach

I'll have to think about it, I have too much on my hand. I haven't even started on Dresdenverse which I promised myself to read (Still not bought it). Still re-reading "The Alchemist" & "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", and here I am spending 25% of my time on reddit when I should be studying. Thats my logic in life.

Sun Tzu and friend have this in my opinion. The Art of War is probably one of, if not the most, influential books all leaders must read. I doubt you'll find a suggested book reading list in any respected military academy without Sun Tzu on it. That being said many generals have led based on the principals he set forth, including Grant and Lee. He had the ability to create such rigid discipline and loyalty in his followers that he was able to train and command an entire "battalion" of concubines in less than an hour.

Moonrunes

It says "4 separate splendid supplementary chapters that lead up to the latest chapter will be included"

> Its like 30,000 soldiers with proper weaponry fighting 200million chinese with shitty weapons and doped up on drugs.

Are you sure this wasn't White Empire?

One barracuda vs. one piranha? The barracuda stomps. They can get pretty big, from 20 to 79 inches and are pretty serious predators. A piranha is pretty small, around 5-10 inches, and basically harmless I think.

Right here!

Akira confirmed a new movie, after the events of BotG. 2015 though, so long wait(not that long)

Actually, yes...this was qualified in the latest canon fodder. New high-bandwidth neural interfaces cut down the stress so that even a regular person can use MJOLNIR.

>Normalization of neural interfaces in the population. Expensive and requiring complicated surgery when first introduced, neural interfaces and their mediating computing systems can be fitted in a simple outpatient clinical procedure by 2557. High-bandwidth interfaces can be paired with advanced expert systems to augment – and even bypass – the human motor system, reducing the physiological stress of high-performance combat exoskeletons to levels that do not require extensive skeletal reinforcement. This innovation, initially a secondary line of research during Project: MJOLNIR’s early days, was crucial for SPARTAN-III and SPARTAN-IV.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-armory-amore

The Spartan-IVs do have similar bone augments, although there isn't anything specific, all three modern Spartan generations have had their bones called "virtually unbreakable".

The Halopedia article on the Scorpion, which sources itself from this Halo Waypoint fact sheet.

How much does writer's intention count? IMO, we shouldn;t try to use that argument, since its impossible to know what the writer was really thinking (EVen if he says what he meant, he could be lying to fuck with veiwers or throw off censors, or misremembering what he thought)

Anyways, this is called the intentional fallacy, and its fairly interesting IMO. I think any work should be judged by whats on the page, not by what someone supposes the author intended.

It's a romantic comedy. It's cute, reasonably well-animated, has minimal fanservice, and it gets into deeper themes than most romcoms do, but it's still a romcom.

If you're attracted to the tragedy aspect, you might take a look at Puella Magi Madoka Magica. No, I'm not fucking around.

Outside of that, I'd give my more general anime recommendations:

• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - One of the single best shounen series. Probably the most accessible for people that aren't in to anime.
• Gurren Langann - Another fun shounen.
• Evangelion - A very long, overwhelming series. Incredibly good, and it's got that whole 2deep4me thing going on.
• FLCL - Bizarre and ridiculously fun. It's entirely possible to enjoy this without having any real idea of what's happening.
• Kill la Kill - A lot like Gurren Langann. It also incorporates a bit more of FLCL's insanity into it.

I guess I'd do better on recommendations if I knew what you like outside of anime. So what are your favorite shows?

Let's not underestimate Tracer.

According to the Overwatch bio page, Tracer experiences "chronal disassociation", in which her molecules have been desynchronized from the flow of time.

I don't know about you, but that has to fuck with Spidey's spider-sense. Precog is knowing when things are going to happen before they happen; I don't think it would work against someone that is not rooted in time, who can teleport to points in both her past and future.

Spidey might be able to avoid pistol fire and automatic fire at a distance, but he won't have much defense against close automatic fire, and Tracer can teleport to point-blank range.

In Central Park, unless he can get to the city in time, Spidey is not going to be at his best. Large open spaces limit his ability to be mobile with web slinging.

Assuming Spidey doesn't have his spider-sense:

Round 1: Tracer 8/10

Round 2: 5/10 tie

Round 3: Tracer 6/10

not saying he'll win, he won't but you don't give aquaman enough credit, here he lifts a passenger ship

http://www.ask.com/question/how-much-does-a-ship-weigh

he's a little above 100 tons

You really should, there is a reason why they spawned so many spin-offs and rip-offs. Best part is they are in the public domain now, so you can download them right now for free! :D

1. Aquaman loses. Aquamn can swim up to 3000 meters per second The Mediterranean Sea is about 3900km long That's about 21 minutes and change.

The average 3 pointer takes 4 seconds to travel through the air, and be returned to the shooter by another person. If he makes 30 shots in a row perfectly, that's ABOUT 2 minutes. I don't think curry will fuck up that badly.

1. Curry probably, since manta and aquaman usually are pretty even.

Hopefully my math isn't outrageous wrong.

> Superman is not weak to magic, he is vulnerable to it.

Superman is lacking the strength to withstand magic, therefore being weak to it.

Weakness and Vulnerable are the same

> Knowing is better than not knowing and just going ape shit like the peak guy will probably do. Really, you give knowledge very little value here.

Yes, I am. In my personal experience academic knowledge matters little in those situations. Even after hours and hours of boxing training, it was still incredibly hard to do the things I was told in a match. It would be that much harder just going off a book. Have you ever been in a car accident? It's hard to remember the things you're supposed to do despite hearing them repeatedly.

So, yes Peak Human isn't going to have any experience advantage, but his faaaar better strength, speed, stamina, etc. carry the day.

> A good chunk of those books, like The Art of War, describe mental preparedness as well as physical.

Again, there's a difference between reading and remembering "The key is to remain calm. Breathe. etc." and then actually remaining calm. We're not talking about fiction where mystical books impart some physical understanding.

> Several years is enough time to master mental calmness.

I wonder what policemen, firefighters, (people with actual training and experience, rather than academic knowledge) would say about that.

> I would make Captain America black as it is much more meaningful for a non-aryan race poster boy to be the one punching Hitler in the face.

Are you from the future? How you do this? Quick! What stocks should I buy? Who wins the 2015 Superbowl? Is bing still being advertised despite being stupid, useless and unnecessary?!

Round 1: Small guys win. Most of the big guys are professional wrestlers and have never fought a real fight in their life. Eastern martial arts are indifferent to size. They are made with the idea you will have to fight much larger opponents then one's self. MMA fighter's have loads of experience and there fights are closest to a street fight (hate that term by the way) scenario. This equalizes the size disadvantage which is important for the MMA fighters and especially the boxers. With the right form you can double the strength of your punch and conserve energy. They might lack durability but boxers are adept at dogeing punches and will never get hit by a point blank haymaker or any sloppy but powerful punch. Even the brawlers of boxing know they have to mindgame, and intimidate to get there power hits. Big guys with no training only have powerhits, they have no fast jabs or knowlage to tripp up there opponents. Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan do more than doge, they return the favor with enough force to completely disable you. Here is a link that attest to just how strong Bruce Lee is. No fanboying, all of it is based on facts, first hand testimony and quotes from Bruce Lee himself.

Round 2: Is completely based on luck.

Bonus: Same outcome.

"Mihawk did not have the intent of sparing him, he had the intent of beating him honourably, but giving him a chance to survive." = sparing him.

: to forbear to destroy, punish, or harm : to refrain from attacking or reprimanding with necessary or salutary severity : to relieve of the necessity of doing or undergoing something

Your points make no sense. Your second half is just meaningless

It is, but normal people don't sense it the way he does. He can do things like sense people through walls by body heat like he is living life with thermal goggles on.

According to this, the producer and director are still interested in making more.

>How was High charity able to get to the Ark in a timely manner? The only way it could have done so was the Voi Portal, but High Charity was much bigger than that portal. So how was it able to do this? If it went through Voi, why did the Gravemind not throw down billions upon billions of flood forms on earth while it was there? - BaconShelf

>A: The Flood-infested High Charity never entered Earth’s atmosphere, and did not transit the Portal at Voi. However, the Gravemind did become aware of Earth’s Portal - and thus the danger that the Lesser Ark still posed to his plans - as soon as he arrived in the Sol system. His modifications to High Charity were far-reaching, both to keep the facility functioning after the departure of the Keyship, and to better serve as a mobile plagueship from which he could sing victory everlasting in a galaxy consumed of thinking life. But even with an intellect impossibly vast and deep, able to twist the technologies of the Covenant far beyond their original functionality by application of esoteric Precursor science, the ancient abomination was unable to both conduct a desperate bridging maneuver to the Ark and maintain the structural integrity of High Charity after its arrival.

In his fight with Kazekage, he used one terrain changing attack that was at least three times as large as the one he performed against Kimimaro. He then went on to perform several more large scale attacks against the Kazekage. Then with little rest as he flew at Onoki and Kyuubi Mode Naruto's pace to the next battle, he performed almost EXCLUSIVELY large scale attacks before flying at high speed to the next battle.

How is that Toph clip relevant? Does that show her with Madara Uchiha, Rock Lee or Kimimaro level speed?

And what's your source that Gaara could have stopped that meteorite easily? Did you see the size of it?

Right, so I looked at the respect thread and honestly, I'm not impressed. The vast majority of the speed feats would put him at fte speeds, which is about the same (or lower) then the rest of the characters in this fight. The magic isn't impressive either. Not when his opponents can do stuff like this or this
