You vs. Saitama

I get punched in the gut. I punch him in the gut. We both begin to do so rapidly and in places other than the gut. This continues for several minates until one of us dies.
 
I think people are underestimate Saitama here

For my opinion Saitama know how to fight,it just that it been so long since he had any real fight,or feel any emotions,that he completely forgot about that and how that feel ,before he he got bald he consistently fought for 1+year againt various monsters who were stronger than him or at least give him a tough fight

In chapter 4 when he fought against the Subterraneans he showed to be a bit skill and not JUST completely noob who only stand and "throw a punch",he also beat hundreds of monsters almost as strong as him

You can say it is just a dream if you want,but the whole point of that was to show the "true" Saitama that eager for battle,the side of him which buried deep inside his emptiness
 
I know. The whole reason why I would beat him is that I would surprise him. He doesn't expect me to be as strong as him. And, I won't try to punch him. I'll just BFR him in any direction except towards the moon.
 
I've personally almost mastered a martial art and im in developing of other that is just joint-lock attacks (Karate, im purple belt in Karate.) but i would probably don't use my newfound powers well, since having human physical stats to being a planet buster is a huge jump and i would probably mess up while fighting but referring to the whole terrain getting destroyed considering im 5-B right now.

So this would get in Saitamas favour since after the planet bust he would get to survive in space more (as showed in OPM) and i would die of asfixiation, but he would die eventually too.

So inconclusive since we both die at the end.


Also, dont understimate Saitama. He was over 1+ year of experience fighting monster guys and we just have newfound powers. It isn't only of combat skills or martial arts here, its of controlling your powers well.

It doesn't count as experience when you just oneshot the opponent. Saitama literally joins a tournament to know how people who are actually skilled fight.
 
He is actually skilled. He only stated one-shotting quiet a bit later on.

And he was ridicolously skilled for a human when he was only 9-B
 
I've got a masterbelt in two forms of Martial arts and have experience in utilizing grapples and arm locks.

Saitama is simply screwed against me even in his "Prime" of experience.

I'd also like to note that Saitama would most likely NOT 1-punch you out of existence since he's finally found someone with power able to match his own. Why kill the only person equal to you before they even get the chance to get used to their powers?
 
Any serious punch from him would bfr you, all the while destroying or damaging the planet too and killing you.

Grappling would need you to actually push harder that he does, and that too would damage the place too much. Best case you make a crater, at which point you arr both falling, but you aren't abituated to it.
 
Saitama is battle smart, he's not just gonna fight with his lack of skill, when he got somewhat serious against garou, he tossed the floor, disorienting garou. Which is actually a smart tactic, regular people wouoldnt think to do that, but saitama has enough experience using his immense strength to counter martial arts as well.
 
What Quangotjokes said. Sort of.

Saitama wins most of his fights effortlessly because whether he's trying to use brute force or not, even his most basic moves can easily one-shot opponents. He HAS to hold back, & when he can effortlessly dodge, tank or one-shot whatever or whoever comes up in the fight, there's little reason for finesse.

I'm not trying to say "he's very skilled but holds back all skill".

Saitama has shown himself to be oblivious to various things within combat, & IIRC, Bang has stated Saitama lacks skill; He wanted to train him, but Saitama declined. (Or was that an anime only thing, & thus, something we may not be able to use?)

Probably other character statements back that up his lack of skill.

He's also lacking academically, barely passing the Hero Exam, & that was because of his perfect score on the physical tests.

However, although he lacks a lot of skill, he does have SOME, & does have some combat intelligence. I haven't read all of BOTH mangas, but he has some understanding of the utility of his strength.

Saitama punching Boros's beam could be interpreted as him expecting the shockwave & counting on it to disperse/deflect/counter the attack. Or he didn't plan for it & simply planned for his punch to do it. Or he wasn't sure if it'd do anything at all. Too ambiguous, I suppose.

We know he has great CONTROL over his power, being able to hold back a great deal, & usually not fighting at full power. He certainly made it seem like he was going to kill Genos... then stopped.

More concretely, he has techniques he invented. Serious Consecutive Side Hops & Serious Table Flip.

The former has utility in making afterimages for deception, as well as an offensive advancing wall of shockwaves. A limited wide range attack, too, that utilizes his speed & agility, even if he mostly used it to beat SoS Sonic in a showy way.

The latter throws the ground into the air, disorienting the opponent, creating potential obstructions, limited hazards/debris via falling rocks -& the falling land itself- & being able to create huge gaps in terrain like that might have some utility. He also showed some intelligence in his use of it, IIRC.


Really, I think someone ought to make a comprehensive compilation of info about how Saitama is & isn't skilled in the varying ways, so we can get this down on our Wiki better. It seems like it's a great potential point of contention, IMHO.
 
He has good fighting skill tough, what he did pretrain8ng already showed better skill than any human should have without training. The fact that people who have martial arts on the level where composite human could learn stuff from them don't see him as skilled isn't that good of a counter.

Wait... who had that much skill in OPM?
 
If you think anything Garou does is remotly replicable in real life you are horribly wrong. And I obviously don't mean the AP and supernatural stuff.

No human being could predict and adapt that fast, and putting the expreience of billions of humans won't change that.
 
He has adaptation as an outright supernatural power and moves way faster than humans can, another advantage that is more physical.

Doesn't that make Garou an Extraordinary Genius?
 
Inteligence is more often given depending the in-verse norm more than the real world, and what you call it doesn't really matter.
 
Honestly I'd probably just play video games with him.
