Joseph Joestar VS Qrow Branwen

Not open for further replies.
I'm fairly certain anyone who is a bird is able to stalk them.

The question is the sneaking up on them part, is Joseph really not going to hear a bird or the sudden woosh of air as he grows to fill his container? In relative silence?
 
Again, there is an abundance of crows in New York City, Qrow doesnt need to have batman stealth, he can hide in plain sight. Thats not even counting other species of birds that are stupidly numerous in NYC like pigeons. He'll be hearing a bird flapping its wings every two seconds
 
Qrow has never employed stealth for a direct attack before, save for the one time he rushed to intercept Tyrian when he was about to attack team RNJR, although I'd hardly call that stealth.

His stealth skills were explicitly described as for observation only.
 
Buddy, I've lived in New York. Crows do not fly up to you at all, they are the ******* that stay away. Pidgeons maybe, but I've never had a crow fly up to me ever.

He hears a crow or a bird fly up to him, the paranoid Joestar isn't going to question it? Okay.

I don't remember that, can you link?

Even then it's hardly enough evidence to assume he can stealth out someone as intelligent as Joseph.
 
@Professor So have i, i know the crows dont fly up to you, my point is there are so many crows that Qrow will have an easy time hiding among them. If he encounters enough pigeons he'll either freak out and think that every bird is trying to attack him or go into a false sense of security realizing that theyre not which leaves him open.
 
Which is on par for old Joseph, who freaks out at toilets and the japanese.

He'll end up using Hermit Purple on the floor or even better a screen of some sort in a display window, giving the location of Qrow away.
 
Wait so let me get this straight, I'M abusing SBA when I say that Joseph can run into a crowd because it doesn't specifically mention whether not people are involved...

But you're not when you're involving other animals? Really?
 
He doesn't attack the floor with Hermit Purple, he uses it as a medium for it's psychic properties, allowing him to find an object of his desire (as seen against Empress)
 
@Professor Except in the case with Empress he had encountered the barrel of oil prior and Hermit Purple made a map in the dust to find it again
 
"Abusing SBA"

That's an oxymoron. You can't abuse the bare default we do battles on.
 
He has literally encountered Qrow less than a minute ago before he ran away from him, right? He can easily search where his again with Hermit Purple. Even better if he has a screen of some sort.
 
That put, I feel like all of this conjecture is unnecessary. This will likely come down to a straight fight, which I have already stated my support in Joseph high-diff for his superior AP, better tactics, invisible stand, and eventual use of Hamon (or immediate considering how he uses his stand).

Qrow's edges are only in consistent experience, his semblance, and aura. A small advantage in versatility won't help you against a decent AP advantage and better tactics.
 
Qrow has range but that's inconsistent too. His fight against Winter and Tyrian never had him spamming bullets from a distance. By the time he engages with Joseph hand-to-hand he'll likely find himself losing against a tiny amount of hamon.
 
His fight against Winter absolutely had him spamming bullets from a distance. He didnt against Tyrian because Tyrian was never at the range for him to be able to do so but he still uesd his ranged attacks at close range.
 
Taking five shots isn't spamming from a distance.

I didn't say he wouldn't shoot Joseph, I just said it would likely not matter since he has taken ~64 ton debris from DIO and was not badly injured.

But he's still likely to go in for a sword swing, which Joseph can catch and block like he did against a ~50 ton Silver Chariot. From there his hamon will travel through the blade and cause loss of motor functions and potentially organ failure for Qrow, allowing him to finish the fight.
 
Not gonna vote, because I don't know enough on Qrow. but to talk about Qrow's Semblence I feel its very likely Joesph would pick up on whats going on with that and try to play into it. Kinda like how he did in most of his Part 2 fights and almost did against DIO in Part 3.
 
"Prior Knowledge" was Straizo using the skill on him once, before he was able to counter it.
 
Pretty sure anyone would be able to realize where someone was goig to shoot them if they see them shooting a person there seconds before

And Qrow doesnt have abilities that are specifically countered by hamon
 
Inconclusive. I don't see Qrow's misfortune manipulation as any game changer at all honestly. Even then Joseph has his own good fortune (plot) to help him out.

But in all seriousness he is pretty lucky.

Fair, I suppose.

Qrow is a human and therefore his biology puts him at risk for all the nasty stuff hamon can do to you. Joseph can override control of his body with a hamon punch, probably less consider Caesar was able to do it with only a kiss and Jonathan did it with a pinch.

Not only that but enough hamon outright shuts down major organs, which I'm pretty sure Qrow has plenty of, I think.

And we cannot forget that pure numbers just don't add up for Qrow. This is >18 tons versus 64 tons. Joseph not only has the superior AP and durability, but he has hax to go along with it. He's caught a ~50 ton slash from Silver Chariot, he can definitely catch whatever sword strike Qrow has in mind and send hamon through his own sword, winning it for him.
 
I will be fair though, Qrow does seem more versatile. He has the range advantage. If he wishes to abuse it, that and his semblance is going to make it tough for Joseph.

The problem that I find is he doesn't abuse his opponents like this and never has. He's taken a handful of shots before quickly switching up to his sword. Against an opponent like Joseph, that sword is going to be his downfall.
 
I imagine it going down like:

"You... caught my sword?" Qrow asks, pushing on his blade harder.

Joseph taunts him "Hehe, you assumed that was my real hand didn't you? Lemme guess, you're probably asking yourself why you can't move, right?"

Qrow finds himself unable to move as Joseph predicted.

"Just a little of my hamon breathing. You've still got work to do if you want to keep up with Joseph Joestar, son!" and the old man follows up with an overdrive to the face.

KO.
 
I'm voting for Joseph, Qrow's got the range with his shotgun scythe but its more of a close range weapon since it fires pellets like a normal shotgun so Joseph should be able to wrap it with Hermit Purple then pump him with Hamon via Metal Silver Overdrive and that's the end of Qrow.
 
Joseph has City Block level+ durability while Qrow's AP is atleast City Block level, so Qrow fires his shots and ranged slashes before Joseph uses his stand to catch his gun before using Hamon.

So it's Joseph with high difficulty, energy slashes should put up a fight here.
