RoR is still in revisions, there are a bunch of feats that need to be calculated.

Oh, you people will have problems determinating what qualify as "skill", its a general term, its like a more complicated rock, paper and scissor rather than a simple A > B > C.
But now I'm here, I could suggest characters like Eternal Warrior and Alice Fuji, I see people already known Sasaki Kojirou.

Hate to sound like a Batman wanker but he literally has general information about anything and everything on Earth and thats not taking into account knowing every martial art known to man

Alrighty, Garou definitely deserves some respect on here.
I firmly believe Garou should take a spot on this list, definitely as a major contender, but definitely on a lower scale compared to others, unless we take his absurd RE into account.
- Prior to the series starting was already a master of multiple martial arts by virtue of his dojo crushing hobby, including Bang's dojo and user of WSRSF wich is one of the strongest martial arts in the verse. He's won previous BOS tournaments, being so skilled they banned wearing masks so they could reveal who the person was.
- Was able to copy techniques after seeing them only once and only in a few seconds at that, the most notorious being WICF, who is used by master comparable to Bang.
- Can dodge and counterattack against someone capable of blitzing his reaction and movement speed through analytical prediction.
- Was able to deflect blows from Metal Bat with WSRSF and stated that if a single blow connected he would have lost instantly, and throughout the entire fight he could tell someone was watching him.
- Copying and developing countermeasures to fighting styles he only saw once, and evolving his martial skill,speed and physical strenght to be above a guy who broke through his WSRSF and his chest with a single strike in a little more than a few exchanges of blow. This was so bad that Darkshine thought he was being surrounded by dozens of martial artists at a single time.
- Was able to fight two people (Ripper and Bug God) easily comparable after fighting Metal Bat, getting whooped by Watchdog Man, oneshot into unconsciousness by Saitama, fighting multiple A and B class heroes, getting poisoned, fighting Genos, fighting Bang, resting for a bit, whilst not even a full health.
- Throughout these fights, more particularly the latter half, he was able to completely deduce their fighting style and use their teamwork against each other. Towards the end, he deflected a danmaku of bullets from a machine gun, again, not at full health.
- Stated that he had already completed analyzed Ripper and Bug God of their skills despite being heavily weakened at the moment, and would have won if not for Tareo.
- Furthermore, in a fight with Orochi, he managed to fight, and adapt to him. Orochi being far stronger, bigger, and was able to copy his techniques. He had lost, but the moment he regained consciousness he completely one shot a buffed S-Class hero with no effort.
I firmly believe Garou should take a spot on this list, definitely as a major contender, but definitely on a lower scale compared to others, unless we take his absurd RE into account.

Nice work on the Vash tidbit. I remember some old threads about Trigun actually being universal.

Ugh, Sasaki beat someone he couldn't even perceive is fine, but Ikki beating someone who can move 10x faster is not?First Witch said:

5 clones? It was 4.First Witch said:
Yeah, only the speed was the problem apparently though.
- 8,827

Right, 4.
The difference is that Sasaki fought against someone severly less skilled and had only his raw physical strenght as his plus point. Sasaki had 1 opponent from who he could steal abilities from to counter him.
While Ikki outdone 4 of his clones who should all have his senses and precog shit you love to flaunt around. OG Ikki had only one advantage apperently and outdone them. Casually was it too right?

Do I dare risk everyone and everything and put Rimuru Tempest (Light Novel) on here... Maybe Hakurou (Light Novel).

Aight. Taskmaster. In order to get to him, you need to know what the other people in Marvel can do. Most importantly, Captain America.
Captain America can make up for microscopic precision in his tossing of his shield, can throw his shield in such a way that someone moves exactly the way he wants them to, and this only takes one throw, can throw his shield in the air in such a way that it's already primed to take out a bad guy before he even arrives on the scene with the hostage, masters alien zero-gravity marital arts in a matter of minutes in which it took those aliens decades to master,with Cap ending up more skilled than them in the end, has mastered every martial art and every weapon, spent 100 years fighting in a time loop, has trained with the greatest martial artists, boxers, etc. that the world has to offer at the very start of becoming Captain America, outskills Cache, a dude who absorbed the entire internet and has the skills of everything he learned from it, is capable of taking down two large trained men alone while being reverted to his pre-Serum body, can throw his shield accurately while immobilized and with his legs only, can throw his shield with enough precision that he can take out a lighter's flame, and many many more.
Furthermore, Hawkeye is skilled enough that he can simultaneously fire nine arrows in different directions to hit nine different targets, can ricochet his arrows with some insane precision, having them bounce back so that their tips still point towards their target, and can fire a hairpin with enough skill that it causes a chain reaction making his target fall. Also has many many more skill feats.
They matter because Taskmaster is blatantly more skilled than all of them. His analytical prediction allows him to copy all their stuff and then some. He's skilled enough to be able to replicate an entire concerto despite not knowing how to read music, just after hearing the concert. He beats Electra, a master martial artist, with his eyes closed. He can copy Spider-Man's agility and reflexes, despite the fact that they're blatantly enhanced. He can throw pens with enough accuracy to kill a man. He can bypass Spider-Man's Spider Sense with ricocheting his billy club. Spider-Man considers him skilled enough that fighting him is like fighting seven Avengers at once. He took on Cap and Iron Man simultaneously. He can hold his own against an entire team of Avengers, with that team containing Ms and Captain Marvel. He literally gets bored fighting Hawkeye. He has the ability to use every fighting style he's watched at the same time. He beat hit squads sent by seven different organisations at the same time that he trained. He's so accurate he can fire a bolt into a gun barrel. He can block bullets with a chain. He can catch a blade from behind thrown by Moon Knight, another insanely skilled fighter. Ikki trains at a school to hone skills? Taskmaster opened his own school to do the same, and his students literally can't touch him in a training session, he's that skilled. Ikki can learn whatever you do after seeing it? Not only can Taskmaster do the same, he can do it faster because he watched your highlights on fast-forward a couple nights ago.
And yes, Taskmaster does have the skills of Captain America, Spider-Man, and Hawkeye in his repertoire thanks to his photographic reflexes, alongside others like The Punisher, Silver Samurai, Daredevil, and many more.

Someone who was so fast he could attack from all directions at once. So basically way beyond blitz level.First Witch said:
Yes, that one advantage was rather huge though. None of that was a problem (the skill), the only problem people had was the speed. How he could deal with them at that speed.
- 15,998

Yes. But he does actually have some feats of skill.ShisuiXItachi said:

@Milky
I doubt you're gonna get them anywhere above top 7 or so, but you can try i guess.
@Cal
Since Ikki is nr 1 currently, i'll wait for others to argue against those points. Imma only argue if he is more skilled than the rest of the list.

You can update the OP:
1. Ikki Kurogane
2. Sasaki Kojirou
3. Fugil / Mori Jin / Pray

Yeah Bradley is pretty skilled with him soloing fully armored men with guns and tanks with just 2 swords

How would Yujiro be above batman? I mean he's strong and all but still

Bats definately outskills tommy, Regular show hammer, Animator VS Animation, Sidious, and Johnny Joestar
- 20,509

First place? No lol, im just too lazy to explain why Ikki outdoes those. Also about your last points.The real cal howard said:
>Taskmaster opened a school
Ikki did so as well he trained everyone in their speciality. And taskmaster opened a school to learn? Ikki wanted to learn but he could just copy everything on sight, it's humiliating others to say he wanted to learn from them.
>Taskmaster copied things by watching highlights
Ikki copies and perfects things just by looking at them mid battle, or by looking at the stance. He also copies everything about a style, including the history, ideas and the foundation.

But Ikki uses magic though.... Taskmaster is just a normal human... once again....
- 2,047
- 778
Sasaki doesn't use magic or anything supernatural, he got to where he is through sheer skill alone. I believe the same is for Ikki, as far as skill goes.
- 20,509
- 1,590
Ikki uses magic for things unrelated to skill.ShisuiXItachi said:
He doesn't copy things on sight "cus magic".
As i said the only thing his magic does is amp his stats by 2. A thing that LITERALLY everyone in verse outdoes. Everyone can amp themselves like 6x unconsciously, Ikki's best is 2.

I honestly don't see what's so special about Batman combat skill wise. I get the guy is one of the most intelligent characters but when it comes to martial arts isn't it like most of the world's martial arts and that's it? Don't see how his prep feats mean anything in terms of combat skill. That's just high intelligence and technology. Not combat skill.
- 10,462
- 1,521
Intelligence greatly works with skill tbh
