Yeah, I didn't say that speed amps weren't allowed. I just said that speed equalized usually refers to equalizing attack speed as well.Nah, speed amps or "faster with X" is allowed to still be faster under speed equal

Yes but Mifunes sword naturally creates ranged chakra shockwavesThe rule of attack speed not being equal only applies for projectile attacks. But here both of them just use a sword.
By attacking first. Since Atomic starts with a speed amp, he can definitely attack before Mifune gets to use the ranged attack. And since reaction speed and attack speed is equalized, it would be quite difficult for Mifune to defend against Atomic Slash.His base speed is equalized with AS.
But Isshen, a ranged sword technique, isn't equalized. So how's AS reacting to a SOL ranged move?
Yeah, but the first swing would still go to Atomic and he would have enough time to block and counter with Air Blade. He can perform short dashes with speed amps too in order to close the distance beforehand.Except they're starting several meters back due to SBA, and Mifune will start with his ranged technique.

Open your eyes. (hehe, saw what I did there?)the first swing would not go to atomic, unless you're telling me that an unquantifiable speed amp is higher than a SOL ranged move
You didn't get my point at all. I never said that Atomic's speed amp makes him FTL. I just said he can attack him BEFORE Mifune gets the chance to use the ranged blade attack.the first swing would not go to atomic, unless you're telling me that an unquantifiable speed amp is higher than a SOL ranged move
Ohh I get what your saying.So, in the beginning, Atomic does get a headstart. Mifune's ranged attack is FTL, not the speed at which he swings his sword. It's like a person shooting a bullet. The person pressing the finger isn't super-sonic right, but the bullet (ranged attack) is. So, one can attack before they press the trigger.
Yeah, but Mifune isn't going to get the style advantage either as Atomic Samurai has literally taught Iaian the style. So, I'm pretty sure he knows the style in and out except the chakra part. So, Atomic Samurai should be capable of parrying Mifune with similar skill.Ohh I get what your saying.
However I still don't think that's enough to stop Issen, let alone beat Mifune.
Now I already know how skilled AS is, I'm not going to get into him, but I do think Mifune's swordsmanship is being underestimated here.
Mifune is extremely agile and his swordstyle revolves around his speed and agility (as is AS'). His Iaido + speed allowed him to intercept ninjas from using hand seals as shown against Hanzo (not that this really matters in this fight though). He also has extremely keen and sharp senses, being able to anticipate and counter techniques he hasn't seen in a while.
Due to his experience in swordplay, Mifune is able to accurately judge the weaponry skills of his opponent just after a single clash, which in this case is most definitely bound to happen. He's also able to increase his cutting power by channeling his chakra into the sword, or send a wave of chakra (Isshen). He's also able to produce a chakra shockwave that acts like a "get off me move".
So even with AS's minor attack speed advantage, he most likely won't get many hits in due to Mifune's chakra shockwaves, and counterplay Iaido style. As I said before Mifune still will use his Isshen at the beginning, and even if Atomic Samurai manages to get to him before he can use it, he will still find moments to use it, as it's literally a light speed attack.
Yeah I agree, I just thought Mifune was getting downplayed and all, and since no one bothered to bring up ANYTHING for Mifune, I thought I should.Kamikaze has also shown the ability to "read" the aura of strong people. So, I don't think this comparison gets us anywhere.
Hey a brought up a ton of things!Yeah I agree, I just thought Mifune was getting downplayed and all, and since no one bothered to bring up ANYTHING for Mifune, I thought I should.
I'll also vote for Inconclusive.
