I'm arguing (i actually wasnt arguing i was shitposting but ok that simply saying someone is skilled and having them do cool anime move, while it would put them above a normal human by sheer virtue of most anime stuff simply not being feasibly possible to perform (like ive never seen someone do a 50 flip backflip ngl), that when it comes to verses or character's who's skills are explained extensively, is demonstrably and tangibly quantifiably skillful and not just fancy anime move with name, and is actually stuff that is proven functional with explicit hurdles to perform beyond just saying "hey he skilled" and expecting you to believe it, are two very, very, different things. Not to say Garou isn't skilled, but a lot of his stuff is just cool anime moves that you're told is skill but really ain't and is lowkey supernatural hax or powers instead of actual martial prowess (he does have that tho) it's why musashi cutting space via skill aint skill, it's hax
Same reason why someone like Goku's skill in Z is lowkey ass when compared to how he fights in class DB, in Z it's just fancy anime stuff or fisticuffs while in classic he actually did some cool martial techniques. If they weren't literally the same character I'd say og Goku > Z Goku in skill based on actual feats.
same with MGS4 Raiden > MGR Raiden, because all he does in MGR is fancy twirls instead of actual skilled shit
also this was a joke, you're taking it to seriously brother, im aware garou lowkey a skilled god
Voting Raiden based on his confirmed thicc and juicy gelatinous ass tho (MGS4 Artbook Yoko statement).
