Samurai Jack vs Salem

[Nico-v11]

Now before anyone screams AP GAP or REGEN keep in mind Jack has legitimately killed Aku who has much higher AP and durability along with the same type regen and immortality. Experience wise Aku is also higher there....along with his hax....anyway back to the match.

Speed Equalized

Samurai Jack (Character): 0

Salem: 0

Inconclusive: 0

Why Jack's sword doesn't have regen negation is beyond me.

If anything Salem just TKs Jack into a pulp from a distance but this fight is still really really perfect, and I wish it wasn't a stomp in Salem's favor.

I guess Jack could take cover and then attack Salem by surprise but he'd need to keep on slashing at her to kill her.

Actually, now that I think about it, Jack might actually win here if the CRT I just made goes through.

Why does Salem not have type 8 via the God Brothers?

 

[Torlikoff]

Speed isn't equal. Ouch for Salem.

Why does Salem not have type 8 via the God Brothers?

I don't think they need to exist for her to keep her immortality; it's more like something they bestowed upon her.

Also this is a stomp in Jack's favor without speed =, kek.

Oops

Salem thinks and Jack explodes

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Jack has fought and won against people who could do that, and starts at a range where stealth is certainly an option.

 

[Schnee_One]

If you're referring to Aku, he jobs so often it's not even funny and Im pretty sure if people Jack fought with were capable of doing that then they would have done it or they suffer from serious CIS.

Salem can also restrain him like she did Hazel

 

[Nico-v11]

Jack is way more skilled than Hazel and will dodge it

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

It's mostly because Jack plays at avoiding attacks and stealthing them. Even in direct fights Jack focuses on getting the jump on said characters, see his fight with Aku in the graveyard and his final battle with Aku. The former showcases Aku going all out due to Jack not having his sword and Jack avoiding a ton of telekinetic and energy attacks, the latter showcases Jack jumping Aku and getting the first hit in while proceeding to rip him apart without stopping.

Dodge it how?

He has no idea she can do this, no idea where it's coming from, or anything for that matter.

So how?

@Dargoo

Jack has knowledge on those fights with Aku though, he's fought with Aku for years before Aku actually gets serious

And again, where has Jack fought a character that can make him explode with TK?

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I'm fairly certain that Salem can't actually use attacks with pinpoint accuracy from kilometers away like that; she can just cause large AoE storms.. That and the abundance of trees in the area and cover for Jack to take combined with his stealth mastery should let him get the jump on her.

Also invisibility; how would Salem go about attacking someone she can't see and knows how to use stealth and block his sound?

@Schnee https://youtu.be/bBYXv97FuAY (0:25) like this.

Considering this is current Jack then he's even more skilled and experienced. 50 years worth more.

 

[Schnee_One]

Huh. Forgot that one

I should mention though I'm pretty sure Aku's regen isn't negated by the sword, it's absorbing Aku into the sword before expunging him

I may need to find a scan of him regenerating

You can comment on the thread I linked above if there's anything you want to add.

 

[Schnee_One]

I probably should yeah
