How doesn’t Walter have Street lvl dura from tanking a punch from Mike?
Because Walter got bodied by the punch and Mike clearly wasn't putting his all into harming him. Walter wouldn't even downscale
as i mentioned above, walter and jesse both have showings which would allow them to downscale from tuco. only time he really ****** one of them up was when he bludgeoned jesse with the cash bag, which tuco doesnt technically physically scale to since he attacked jesse with an object
Not at all. Jesse was hospitalized by Tuco's beating, and regarding the second case in "Grilled", while Tuco did knock him around, he clearly wasn't trying to kill or severely harm Jesse there since he was trying to force an answer out of Walter regarding what Hector saw him and Jesse do
yes, such as jesse being fine after falling two stories headfirst onto concrete
This is some crazy wank because I recently rewatched the scene and....
he definitely didn't fall head first onto concrete
Seriously, why are people saying he did? Man clearly fell on anything but his head. That fall ain't Street level at all. It's actually a relatively small fall
walter smashing jesse through his shelf
The shelf he smashed him into during their third battle most certainly would not warrant Street level. Ask some calc members if you really want confirmation
being completely fine after various car crashes including ones which hospitalize hank
A. A lot of normal ass people who would be considered as 10-B by VSBW standards can survive car crashes. Not all of them are 9-C in terms of the harm someone can take from one
B. The car crash that Walt survived wasn't anything crazy that would back up a 9-C rating for a character. It's not like the car was tossed into the air and spun around or anything
C. Hank was hospitalized because he was
LITERALLY TAKING THE BRUNT OF THE CRASH'S DAMAGE. That's another thing to remember about car crashes. Where a passenger is and how the car crashes or gets hit can be the difference between being completely fine, a few scratches, being hospitalized, or flat out death. To say Walt should be 9-C for surviving this is disingenuous. Hank was closer to where the car struck, so of course Walter would be fine, this is pretty clear
saul easily smashing through windows
One of them was a small ass window and another was a telephone box's pane of glass he needed to break with two kicks. Not exactly the strongest window breaking feats on the market here
walter nearly got up after mike punched him, mike kicked him in the stomach while he was down
The first punch had Walter
absolutely winded and Mike wasn't even going all out LMAO. Are we really acting like Mike was putting his full force hits into putting Walter in his place? Let's be real here, come on
Street level for people like Lalo and Mike is pretty understandable, but for guys like Walt, Jesse, and Saul, I can't see it as anything but wank, as well as a major overestimation of the combative abilities of the last three characters
Yes, this is a fictional franchise, that isn't lost on me. But the intention of the portrayals and plot make it clear that Walter isn't some Street level fighter. I guarantee you most forum users would beat the shit out of Walter in a 1v1 and I am so deadass about that
