Kenshiro vs Bang

[Promestein]

Kenshiro vs Bang.

The Divine Fist of the North Star vs the Water Stream, Rock Smashing Fist.

Both in-character. Victory upon KO, incapacitation, or death.

Location: Nondescript wasteland.

Kenshiro: 3

Bang: 0

Inconclusive: 0

 

[Promestein]

Bump.

 

[Alakabamm]

Kenshiro because he:

-is a match for Bang in speed

-can offset Bang's greater power with his intangibility

-can bypass Bang's durability by targeting his atoms

-should have more stamina from his youth

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Kenshiro is getting my vote here. Bang may be physically superior to Kenshiro, but he get's defeated by him since (like Alakabamm):

-Ken is right about a match for Bang in speed, if not superior.

-Can both avoid Bang's more superior AP + bypass his durability with Muso Tensei.

So yeah again, Ken's getting my vote here.

 

[GreatestSin]

i will go with Ken too

 

[Rei-San101]

This is a tough one, Bang has an obvious dc advantage but Kenshiro is faster. I think I'll go with Ken solely because he is younger (gives him an edge in stamina) and he can pretty much make Bang explode if he gets a few hits on him.

 

[GreatestSin]

^and kens profile says he can become intangible, so Bangs attacks wont be useful :I

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Nerco bump here but given the current speed level of Ken, should we like close this or speed equalize this?

 

[Battlemania]

he got faster? Even with speed equalized bang would still match him and beat him via hax. hax vs little to no hax fight?

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Kenshiro is at least MHS in base, yes. @Battlemania

 

[Ciruno_Fortes_(COB)]

Bang would match him? Doubtful but then again equalification.... Musoi Tensei, if that's what it's called, should be able to shut down Bang either way. Feels stompy too. Poor OPM side characters, even in debates they get stomped while stronger ones only get to win.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

I don't really see much of what Bang could do that can match Hokuto Shin Ken. He still beats Ken in physical AP and Dura even at his highest but his speed vastly beats that of Bangs in turn.

 

[Ciruno_Fortes_(COB)]

Don't forget haxx. Oh and yeah my vote is on Kenshiro.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

That too, Frost. Well in any case, Promestein is the one that has the say in this as i wasn't the one that created this thread, she did.

In any case, Kenshiro's new speed lets him Blitz Bang and use his Hokuto moves on the latter.

 

[Grudgeman1706]

My vote goes to Kenshiro. Besides the obvious speed advantage, even if was speed equalized. Kenshiro is horribly more hax's even without using Museo tensei his art would allow him only one touch to kill bang. His skill I'm sorry to say is superior to bang, bang may be older but Kens knowledge of hokuto Shinken and other incredibly dangerous and useful styles, gives him over two thousand years of knowledge of an art that has been adapted and mastered over battle. Not only that his adaptability over other martial art styles will allow him to adapt and counter Bangs style (via sueichein). He's done this plenty of times with countless equally powerful opponents. Bang may have the AP and Durability advantage but Ken takes this mid-low difficulty because of skill,speed(unless speed equalized), and overall hax.
