| I'd rather bench the Type 4 discussion for another thread; I'll be back from vacation in a day and can discuss it more reliably. That put, Witcher senses are a hard counter to Sekiro's Type 4 no matter how you spin it. He'd be able to track Sekiro down and take him out before he can even realize it given his skills in hunting down monsters with equatable senses. And yeah, Sekiro isn't some mook Geralt can take out easily. But Geralt isn't an idiot, and has abilities and wincons he will exercise well before Sekiro gets the jump on him. Geralt's armor is made of materials like Chainmail that resist slashing attacks and can also help against peircing attacks. Sekiro doesn't get close enough to deathblow before Geralt uses any of his signs to kill him. Sekiro can't stealth as per discussions above. Mr. Bambu"] Statements < Feats, for skill. Someone being "the best martial artist alive" doesn't mean anything in a fight when the other character has actual feats displaying absurd skill. [/quote] No, it's entirely contextual, and you speak as if Geralt has no visual feats of skill, which he does in spades, over three games and a novel series. |

I'm saying it's a counter to Type 4, not a counter to Sekiro entirely. Although Geralt has plenty of other signs and tools to take him out at a comfortable distance in regular combat. Remember, Geralt has tons of traps in his arsenal and Yrden acting as a sentry/magical trap that zaps or slows the hecc out of Sekiro when he's near.
Lady Butterfly trained and fought for over a century straight? When was this explained, and can I have a link?
How were they defeated, when were they defeated, and what are their feats of skill? Geralt doesn't just rofl over skilled 9-As; he's the best in that area, period, including people with lower AP values, which makes the pool of people he's superior to vastly greater. Especially when you consider this is a medieval-esque world that has people trained in swordfighting in every single settlement, with bandit camps full of them.
To be entirely fair, villagers and bandits can literally chase Geralt down across the entire map if Geralt doesn't straight-up outspeed him, and peasants in the Witcher are notably very vengeful and travel great distances in mobs. I'm not entirely sure if that would be a win for Geralt or Wolf, as they would both mutually be leaving the battlefield, if you want to go down that line of logic.
That guy seems to be faring well only by virtue of having a stupidly massive healthpool. Realistically if Sekiro and the character were on equal footing in AP and durability they'd be down in no less than a dozen seconds into that video.
It sort of does. Since AP and dura are near each other stuff like armor composition comes into play big time here. If not through stealth, how else is Wolf getting near Geralt? He's certainly not running at him Lancelot style and getting away with it.
That seems like a subjective opinion as opposed to objective reasoning. I've posted skill feats for Geralt and you've posted for Wolf, at that point it would be votes that should determine which seem to be more impressive. |

As I've said we should discuss how Wolf's Type 4 actually functions before we continue discussing it. However, I'm speaking that it counters Type 4 in that, if Wolf immediately resurrects Geralt would notice right away, and if he yeets to the nearest Buddhist Temple, Geralt would track and kill him from stealth before he becomes a meaningful threat.
I'd personally like a link. And training + fighting at the same time is superior to simply training your entire life. Geralt has far more practical experience and it shows in his fights. Your mistake is saying it isn't an outright feat, when Geralt's resume speaks to the contrary. His entire lifestyle is hunting and taking out beasts with various different abilities, and fighting off warriors and small armies.
Is this directly or through the typical Soulesborne "kill a group here and there" style? You've also established Wolf uses stealth, if this happens off-screen what says he didn't use stealth to take them out, which would be far more likely for such a large castle? If we don't see it happen, we can't reason Wolf rofled them in skill when he has other weapons and methods at his disposal than facing them all at once.
Let me rephrase; Geralt can come back to the same exact areas later in the game, after he uses signs, and nobody bats an eye when he uses his signs. It's not just that they "didn't come back".
More flashy sword-swinging =/= better in skill, for starters. The dude is taking hits every other couple of seconds; if anything that's an indicator for pretty poor swordplay, especially considering he's just wailing on Wolf for most of the fight. Geralt's swordplay doesn't look as interesting, I'll give you that, but that's not what's relevant here.
No idea, although if you doubt my sources I can link other examples of Katanas and other eastern weaponry failing against chainmail. You mean his head? Sekiro isn't getting remotely close enough to Geralt for that to matter.
Sure it is. The fact that Geralt isn't dead in a ditch after fighting monsters and warriors repeatedly for his entire life is a feat. |

if we going by numbers geralt can clear out bandit camps that are filled to the brim with bandits each of whom can hurt geralt(9A) and there are at least 100 of them and unlike Gyoubu we actually see geralt take them all at onceMr. Bambu said:
I'm pretty sure clearing out a bandit camp filled with hundreds of Order of the Flaming Rose deserters who have turned to banditry isn't a feat to be scoffed at. The Order of the Flaming Rose is one of the most elite military outfits in the Northern Realms. They are the Knights Templar of the Witcher verse, the very best you can get.Mr. Bambu said:
