That's my uncle!: Kenshiro vs Kasumi Kenshiro

[Wagdawgwag]

They say Kenshiro is the greatest practitioner of Hokuto no Ken, but the previous successors weren't there to test that theory.
Both using their second keys. Fight takes place in Shanghai, circa 1991. SBA otherwise.

Kasumi has the better skill feats, Ken has a fuckton of statements placing him above Kasumi, while Kasumi was recently stated to have been "the strongest man of Hokuto".

There's not enough data to go off of, but I personally think they are either equal via Ken being a reincarnation of Kasumi or Kasumi is stronger due to having better feats and statements

The problem is that Ken has about 6 statements to put him above Kasumi, from guides and the series, but they were made before Souten no Ken was released.
On the other hand, if you go and compare Kasumi and Ken on some things, Kasumi is just better, for instance: fighting against people with shifted tsubos, Ken almost got killed, Kasumi found a counter immediately; fighting against chi/life drain, Ken almost died, Kasumi found a counter in 2 seconds, add to this the fact that Kasumi is stated to be "the strongest man of Hokuto" in REGENESIS and I think it's pretty clear that they are about to retcon Kasumi into being comparable if not better than Ken

That's fair and this matchup might be outdated very shortly, but I wanted to try and get input from the community before that retcon becomes concrete

Kasumi is heavily implied to have reincarnated multiple times throughout history, for example you can clearly three brothers also heavily implied to be the previous incarnations of Ken, Raoh and Toki on a ship at one point in the Souten no Ken manga.
