Ip Man (Donnie Yen) vs Achilles (Troy)

[Nico-v11]

Btw using the spear behind the neck is a thing. I've practiced King Fu and used a spear in a form. You throw the spear behind the neck and catch it with the other hand.

The rest seems generally fine but like I said the feat of being the best out does what's shown on screen that's how it works

Yes, in Kung Fu, but Achilles is Greek, he's jumping around, attacking with the edge of his shield, telegraphing his movements, putting his shield behind his head while his enemy is standing in front, using the butt of the spear like a sword, and he is generally being sloppy and slow.

Greek fighting is much more straight-forward, and less flashy.

I also, I never mentioned spear behind the neck, I said shield behind the neck.

Ip Man (Donnie Yen): 3 - Dzhindzholia, Anttron224, RyuujinBaer

Achilles (Troy): 5 - Mr. Redic, Jackythejack, Cueio 2020, DivineTedrius, ZellTemplar55

Inconclusive: 0

But maybe Achilles is receiving a downgrade on his statue slicing feat.

Bump. With one more crucial question:

Is this statue slashed by Achilles considered a true solid metal statue made of copper and zinc... or is it just made of ceramics or mud? (Did ancient Greece have glazed and metal painted ceramics products?)

This will directly affect the striking strength of Achilles with a weapon.

 

[Nico-v11]

It's a statue of Apollo in a temple dedicated to Apollo. It's probably a metal seeing how it's in reverence to him.

You should add the Ip Man votes to the op.
