Monkey D. Luffy vs Gon Freecss

Speed gap is something Luffy can handle, could keep up, adapt to, and end up matching Kuro who was blitzing him like crazy.

Scissors is a valid wincon.

Skill? Gon is more booksmart from what we see in the anime, manga, and on the profile, but Luffy's combat smarts vastly outmatch.

Luffy's instinct might help against Scissors, but that's just headcanon from me tbh
 
This sounds like fun I like both characters

To start normally blunt attacks would not hurt Luffy due to his body being rubber but since Gon attacks have nen aura I guess this will by pass Luffy rubber body in terms of versatility I would give the edge to Luffy but not by much this is something that Gon page does not have but there are a few abilities Gon has that are not on there like Gon round two ability and sound attack Gon's a lot more versatility then his page on battle wiki shows
0209-006.png

0211-005.png

What round two does is allow Gon to charge double the amount of aura for a normal jajanken so he can due combo jajanken attacks without having to due the chant as shown in the image above he does the chant normally and fires paper using it has cover to get behind Knuckle but for Rock he just says round 2 Rock this is something that not a lot of people know about but this gives Gon a lot more options in combat
0208-004.png

Along with using jajanken to setup feints I bring this up because I'm sure there going to be some people saying Gon wont be able to use his ability during his fight with Luffy due the chant and charge up time but as shown during his fight with Knuckle he can and as many ways of using it Knuckle being faster than kid Gon

Also Gon can use enhancement on his voice just like Uvogin though when he used it has a kid it was weaker due to Gon skills in enhancement not being as good
0232-011.png

luffy on the other hand has way to many different attacks for me to go over but most of it is just different kinds of punches

I think I'll give it to Gon I think overall he's the smarter fighter and is willing to go for the kill not play around as much

Also to the guy saying Gon more book smart he's both combat smart and book smart he shows this during his battle with Knuckle after it was pointed out the weakness of his ability Gon was able to figure out a way to use those weakness to outplay Knuckle during their fight during his fight with Genthru he used Genthru ability weakness of focusing aura into his hands in order to land a powerful kick had Genthru not gotten lucky and fallen he would have been taken out by Gon rock
0180-007.png

during the dodgeball Game Gon was the one that come up with the idea for stopping Razor throw

0166-011.png

0167-006.png

Gon is someone who he sees his opponents weakness and comes up with plans during combat to take them out just go back and look at most of his fight he's always thinking up new ways to win in terms of combat smarts Gon > Luffy

Luffy mostly overpowers his opponents or outlast them through willpower yes he uses his ability in creative ways but outside of that there not nearly as many moments of him just outsmarting his opponents

That's false, Luffy is nearly Goku's level of "battle genius" in his own creative way.

I don't know if later showcases apply to his East Blue self, but Luffy's skill is not getting outmatched by Gon's. Both are skilled as hell.

This is fact he wins most of his fight by having higher will power or overpowering them Gon wins most of his fights by outsmarting his opponents the only time he really wins just by overpower his enemy was with Pitou and low level ants/nen users all of Gon big fights outside of Pitou are him using his brain the same can not be said for Luffy like I said in my first comment Luffy is very creative with how he uses his devil fruit for different attacks but Gon as better feats when it comes to combat smarts

Case in point Luffy figuring out crocodile weakness was just dumb luck it's not like he analysis crocodile fruit like Gon did with Genthru little flower
most of these comes down to how Oda and Togashi write fights and what they like to focus on Oda is clearly more focus on the intensity of the fights scenes while Togashi likes to have his characters out smart each other even in the higher end fights like Hisoka vs Chrollo or Meruem vs Netero this is still the case as Meruem use what he learn with Komugi in order to get pass Netero attacks

While Luffy vs Kaido in the manga right now is pretty much just them trading blows back and forth with Luffy losing then coming back with advanced king haki losing again then coming back with gear 5 see what I mean by Luffy winning his fight through sheer will power and outlasting his enemy not that theirs anything wrong with that but Gon is the smarter fighter

DUMB LUCK?
Oh brother, you are not knowledgeable on One Piece at all.

Luffy got curbstomped by Crocodile, hanged in the air by the neck all bloodied. He grabbed Crocodile's arm with his hand covered in blood, and from that little interaction alone, plus the knowledge that Crocodile can dry things up, he made a conclusion that he was weak to water, since he goes out of his way to make rain impossible on the country.

Also, Gon wouldn't be able to do shit without Killua laying out a plan for him.

The sheer amount of ignorance and headcanon in this comment is actually crazy.

Literally read Luffy's profile. Tempest was kind enough to specify why Luffy is a genius when it comes to battling (and you keep saying "creative" as if that's not a part of battle intelligence)

I think Goku overrated when it comes to his level of battle genius in the first place as dragon ball goes on it becomes more about who has the higher power level so things like battle smarts does not matter as much but even if we use Goku early feats from z I still don't think he's done anything that makes me go oh wow that was such a creative way to win a fight like all his fights in z are him winning through power alone or getting help from friends he never really come up with a plan that or used his ability in a way that made me go wow that's a great idea outside of using instant transmission with the kamehameha

During his fight with Frieza he gets a power up and beats him due to Frieza not being able to sense Ki not by using his brain
0132-017.png

He wins due to Frieza not being able to sense Ki ya he would have won anyway but that's only due to having a power up that allows him to overpower Frieza
His plan to use his son to beat Cell went really bad early on
0208-011.png

His plan of using his 11 year old son nearly backfired and would have gotten them all killed had android 16 not talked to Gohan and he did not even think to tell Gohan about his plan

The only time strategy took down the main bad guy was the buu arc I would also like to point out that Goku was not the one to even come up with the plan that defeated Buu that was all Vegeta idea
0319-006.png

Goku was like it's all over lol while Vegeta was using his brain and come up with a amazing plan that saved the day
0319-010.png

Goku likes dam that a great plan way better than anything I come up with this arc

Really compared to hunter x hunter characters Goku nothing special when talking about battle genius and looking at all his fights in the manga and comparing them to Gon I would say Gon > Goku when it comes to battle smarts easy I think some people should really go back and reread dragon ball manga this is not a series where being the smarter fighter matters lol that why the humans characters become useless

Just because a series says a character his a battle genius does not make them one they have to feats that show there genius and Goku Luffy while being creative at times don't come close to the level we see from characters in hxh talking about battle genius not power levels that is

Go back and reread that fight
0180-007.png

Gon plan that Gon came up with not Killua would have finish Genthru the only reason why Genthru was not taken out by this was due to tripping
0180-005.png

Gon by watching Genthru ability came up with a way to counter it that would have taken Genthru out Genthru just got lucky that's why Gon went back to Killua plan after his own plan failed due to bad luck it's clear you don't really know much about Gon and trying to hype up Goku of all people when talking about battle smarts it's dragon ball man that series is not one you should use when trying to make a case for a character being a battle genius LOL I don't care what the profile for Goku or Luffy says I'm going by feats from the manga not what some fan on this site thinks

look at all of Luffy big wins he wins by having a stronger will
when fighting Doffy Lucci and cro and most recently Kaido it's never a plan that allows him to beat them it's over whelming them with sheer force of will and a lot of punches

And Luffy biggest wins come by him winning through sheer will power he just wont go down because he has the strongest will he wont give up

Get the **** out of this site then, no one will miss you, 🤡

The profiles states feats from the manga, but since you only use interpretation for the characters you like, it really doesn't matter if you read or not.
Just ******* leave.
 
Sorry, but the disrespect on the site while arguing in it got me pissed, why the hell are you here then? If you don't believe the profiles are portraying the character accurately, there is no point in arguing in a forum that takes the information out of said profile

Luffy's Intelligence feats.

This might surpise you but you can have debates with people even if you don't agree with them there are some profiles I think are ok but some on this site either overrate characters power or underrate them Ya I don't think Luffy this amazing battle genius not saying he is dumb when it comes to combat but most of his wins come from overpower his enemy and always getting back up but we can agree to disagree if you want

My vote for adult Gon

Luffy can barely damage Gon with his attacks due to Ryu and Ko, and has invisible Nen, sword and energy emission. Gon's senses are also better, on top of not being too far behind Luffy, and being faster.

Gon also has RPL to keep uo with Luffy's, and insane amounts of stamina (not in the same level of Luffy, but whatever) and power awakening. Plus, his sword and energy attacks scale to 350 tons, meaning they'd hurt Luffy pretty bad.

No one gave Luffy a reason to win above

Gon is a 10-C kid with Below Average Human speed so luffy blitzes and obliterates him! Man, sorry to be a massive stomp match, it should be closed!

This isn't Comicvine or most other battleboards that I know of, we don't go by everyone's seperate interpretation of the characters, we go by profiles which 9/10 are required to have at the very least decent reasonings for their tiers and various sections, Intelligence is included in this, anything on the profiles(That isn't garbage like Brook's Intelligence section) was agreed upon to be put into place by staff members and regular members, some not at all affiliated with One Piece and as such are 100% neutral.

You are entirely debunked by facts and logic, make a CRT if you want to contest it or lea

As I said before it's ok if you want to believe Luffy is a battle genius who outsmarts Gon nothing wrong with that I don't agree that's all and using Goku to compare Luffy to is not helping Luffy case but if you think other wise ok I don't care enough to make a crt I keep my vote for Gon

Charmander has been aggressive here but I'll be a little blunt myself.

I think Thrall's profile blows apsolute dogshit, and it does, but I'd have to go by it if I made any matches with him whatsoever. You have to go by both Luffy's profile and Gon's profile if you want to make votes and such based on your reasoning, this means your vote is eternally invalid until you do so, and as your unwilling to make a CRT(probably because you'd get thrashed pretty badly by Tempest) you have to go with the frankly excellent intelligence section Luffy has that's 100% up to date and has accurate showings based on the manga with second opinions out the ass
 
News flash: we already have their feats neatly organized in the profiles they have.

News flash 2: if you want to start arguing about Luffy's feats that are in his profile you are automatically derailing

That is true, unfortunately I care little as it be the rules to use the profiles in a Versus thread. Your the one who's implying fans are always wrong and 200% biased, which by the way, also applies to you and your interpretations of Gon's skill feats, which all belong to other characters or are dumb luck

I'm responding because you are blatantly wrong, and the fact you won't make a Content Revision Thread solidifies this. if you refuse to use the profiles for versus threads, then a versus thread ban which can lead into a complete ban will be placed on you.

This isn't ComicVine, we don't just go by every single person's interpretation of the characters, we go by the profiles made for each character.

Even going by the profile still voting for Gon so going by this logic if I was to make a thread about ant arc Gon vs x character we could not use round 2 or Gon using sound as a attack sense that not on his profile only what's on the profile

You still need to give reasoning based on the profile. Or say "Gon FRA" (For reasons above) if you agree with someone else's reasoning.
