punching his opponents using a combat style he has built up by training in the same way as Reid
In that case, I believe that despite Garfiel being more skilled than him, Amai Mask would still have a large advantage in close quarters combat. He has much larger AP and an even greater advantage in LS. He can also regenerate, so any attack Garfiel lands could likely be regenerated from quite quicklly. If Garfiel gets hit with any Amai Masks' hand blades he could lose his limbs. Amai Mask also usually goes for vita parts like the head, neck, and joints, so going close would definitely not be beneficial for Garfiel.
He has his Blessing of Earth Spirits which lets him attack at range by collapsing or blowing up any ground he can see, attack reflection & damage reduction to... reduce damage, and very fast regeneration that gets even more potent if he transforms (I think Mask has much better regen though even if it's slightly slower).
This would definitely be an issue for Amai Mask in the early stages of their fight, but with his regen and battle experience, he'd be able to find out how to avoid getting hits (likely by pressuring him in close combat).
This would be pretty helpful, but considering that Amai Mask usually goes for vital points and his strikes would also have cutting properties, trying to deflect his attacks which already have higher AP would be very difficult.
true but the skill gap between them is MASSIVE
he also has Anal precog, earth manipulation, better range, far greater mobility, attack reflection and damage reduction making it a lot harder for amai mask to land hits
Garfiel can very easily overwhelm his regen though since he could do so against Elsa who has bette regen
Garfiel also adapts mid combat so that would be a non issue
he has twins shields on his arms which he can use to deflect blades
He'd still be 656.99 Megatons.
