Who is the most skilled character in fiction?

[Firephoenixearl]

@KGiffoni

He beats most contenders here actually.

So the current list is:

1. Ikki

2. Sasaki RoR

then who?

 

[KGiffoni]

Looking at Sasaki's intelligence in his profile, shouldn't Yujiro be above him?

 

[Ionliosite]

Intelligence some times don't equate to skill.

 

[KGiffoni]

Oh, sorry. It's that most of the times the skill department usually goes in intelligence on most profiles.

 

[Ionliosite]

Yeah, that's why I said sometimes, some skill feats can go in the intelligence section and sometimes not, and they could also not be all their skill feats.

 

[Ionliosite]

I would say the number 3 is between Jin, Pray and Fugil looking at the bolded list.

 

[Firephoenixearl]

I would say the number 3 is between Jin, Pray and Fugil looking at the bolded list.

Then start arguing, what are you waiting for?

 

[Ionliosite]

I will be busy for a couple of hours, so maybe later

 

[Rin_The_Dragon_Empress]

Sasaki is definitely above Pray and Fugil. It's more like Ikki, Sasaki and Fugil.

 

[Firephoenixearl]

Yeah, that's why i said:

1. Ikki

2. Sasaki

3. ??

 

[Rin_The_Dragon_Empress]

I'd say that Adam once he gets his profile should also get a spot here but one could argue that Eyes of The Lord are hax. In short they allow him to copy any skill or ability while making it better than it was originally.

Depends, is it skill or hax?

 

[Rin_The_Dragon_Empress]

https://imgur.com/a/MUPJxbv slightly leaning towards hax

 

[Firephoenixearl]

It's nothing right now. Only a statement, once it is explained "how" he copies and exactly what kind of powers he can copy. There it can be differentiated on whether it's hax or skill.

 

[Rin_The_Dragon_Empress]

Oh that's not the only statement, there are plenty of his feats to back said statements up. I just linked that particular one since it's the easiest to understand. Here's his respect thread https://www.reddit.com/r/respectthr..._source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body

 

[Firephoenixearl]

Oh i see. Do any of them explain how he copies things or what kind of things he copies?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Only one person besides me has mentioned Batman. And I was serious when I mentioned Batman.

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

Batman knows every martial arts tactic on earth, has made whole new martial arts tactics with all the ones he knows, can make strategies that can take down gods like Superman.

Batman is way more skilled than many of the anime characters you are overhyping

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Exactly.

I'm sure Batman in his 80 years of history has more skill feats than Ikki's nine or so books.

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

Batman deserves to be on this list, far more than an honorable mention

 

[KLOL506]

I agree, Batman definitely deserves a spot here. You don't make a "Most skilled character in fiction" thread without the God of Prep in it.

CH sadly doesn't, since he's getting kicked out.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

80% of this list is animanga characters. Other than King, you can tell that they only stick with that side and think animanga characters are the most skilled.

 

[Firephoenixearl]

Exactly.

Ok then bring the feats.

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

We don't know that yet, the vote count is getting pretty close there.

Also, what side are you on again? Agree? Disagree? or Neutral?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

He deserves an honourable mention for sure. Way too skilled for a normal human being

Feats
ENDURANCE Batman (Vol. 2) #52 features a flashback to a trip that Bruce took to Canada during the winter. At this point in time, Bruce was testing himself in every way imaginable, doing everything he could to prepare for his inevitable crime-fighting career.

Batman (Vol. 2) #9 Naturally, when he came upon a waterfall, he undressed and stood in the sub-zero water -- apparently, completely unaffected. That wasn't the first time in the series that Bruce was seen brushing off the extreme cold. Bruce battled Talon while the air temperature was dropping below -20 F.

Detective Batman (Vol. 2) #23 ENDURES 28-HOUR GAUNTLET At the age of 24, Bruce is participating in a single gauntlet where a new fighter is added every hour. However, because Bruce refuses to take a life, he keeps fighting, presumably until he falls in action or until there are not more contestants left for him to fight. Eventually, Bruce's indomitable will is enough to deter any more fighters from entering the contest.

Batman Eternal Deacon Blackfire and his minions had captured Batman and attempted to turn him into a true believer. Indoctrinated, beaten, starved, and having gone a week without sleep, it looked as if Batman would break any minute. However, just the opposite happened. Despite the harsh conditions, Batman dug deep for the strength to break the metal duct that he'd been tied to


COMBAT FEATS

The Dark Knight Returns (Vol. 1) #4 Defeated Superman although with help from Green Arrow

Batman finally went head-to-head with the blind master while aboard a ship. The Dark Knight wiped the floor with King Snake, despite the latter having the advantage thanks to a pitch black room.

Defeated Prometheus (essentially an inverted Batman) After gaining access to the JLA headquarters, Prometheus took apart the Justice League, one by one, even initially besting Batman in hand-to-hand combat.

Batman Confidential (Vol. 1) #53 where he manages to single-handedly take out the Justice League in a one vs. five fight.

CONQUERED FEAR Batman (Vol. 1) #673, Batman reveals that he underwent Thogal during the period following Infinite Crisis. The Thogal ritual, an extreme and dangerous form of meditation derived from the Tibetan tradition, is a 49-day simulation of one's demise over and over again, leading into a rebirth. Bruce isolates himself within a cave for seven weeks, going through the ritual in an effort to eliminate every last trace of fear in him.

Batgirl (Vol. 1) #7, Bruce gives Batgirl an instructional CD that he made on 127 different martial arts. In Detective Comics (Vol. 1) #411, the narrator simply says that Batman has mastered all fighting arts.
Someone did. And everyone just ignored it.

 

[The_Popular_Loser]

I agree Batman should be on here. The Superman/Any Other God Like Being Stuff is PIS in my opinion however.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

I'm sure Batman in his 80 years of history has more skill feats than Ikki's nine or so books.

...several of which are either separated by different continuities or have been retconned.

 

[KLOL506]

Nope, those are actively part of his prep. He's 4-B with bots for a reason.

EDIT: Was referring to ShisuiXItachi

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

many of the times Batman outsmarted supes with his sheer skill though and it wasn't just plot armour, so outsmarting superman should count as a skill

 

[SpookyShadow]

Batman skill feats... Huh

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

Batman still has enough feats in his main canon to deserve a spot here on this list more than any of the combatants

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

...several of which are either separated by different continuities or have been retconned.

Only two or three. That's still 20-ish years each, more considering Post Crisis and Post Flashpoint merged.

 

[MrKingOfNegativity]

80% of this list is animanga characters. Other than King, you can tell that they only stick with that side and think animanga characters are the most skilled.

Oh yay, we're starting up a good old round of "let's tell the truth in strikethrough text so people think it's sarcasm". I love this game!

That's still 20-ish years each, more considering Post Crisis and Post Flashpoint merged.

...I forgot all about this shit happening.

 

[Rin_The_Dragon_Empress]

Yeah sorry but Bats doesn't have feats on the caliber of the rest of the combatants. Especially the tops contenders.

 

[SpookyShadow]

Because he's a human

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

You saw through my ruse. Maybe you should be on this list.

Also Taskmaster has easily done enough to deserve a spot here. A good portion of his feats are on his profile, but one of my favorites is that his learning is so good that he makes himself faster by copying the movements of videos he watches on fast forward.

Yeah you are downplaying batman a lot

 

[Rin_The_Dragon_Empress]

Me claiming Bats isn't as skilled as the likes of Sasaki, Ikki or the top contender isn't "downplaying" at all. Perhaps try not to throw around messily accusations and actually prove Bats is the most skilled here?

 

[SpookyShadow]

Time to go through all Batman media and list his skill feats

 

[I'm_Blue_daba_dee_daba_die]

We already have a good feats list by real cal howard.

Also, Batman knows every martial arts tactic on earth, is so skilled he can make new martial arts tacitcs by merging his already known ones, is the second smartest man on the planet only after lex, and is so smart he can successfully outsmart gods like superman.
