Satsuki Kiryuin vs Roronoa Zoro

Not open for further replies.
I give this to Zoro mid-high 6/10 difficulty. Satsuki's higher AP is definitely noteworthy, but not only does Zoro have superior range, stamina, and experience, but I also can't see her getting past Zoro's precog or invisible armor.
 
How does Satsuki have higher range? Aren't both hundreds of meters? Even if she did, attacking from that kind of range will make it easy for Zoro to counter with his own air slashes especially with his precognition or simply dodge and get closer to her. Like, how can she properly hit him when she's hundreds of meters away from him? Zoro wouldn't just stand there and go 'Okay, lemme tank these slashes'. If she used them around mid to close range, it'd be better but Zoro can counter with his own and has precognition to help. He also has much more varied and better techniques and ranged attacks.

The only problem I see here is Satsuki's higher AP, but Zoro can increase his stats with Busoshoku Haki (I think that's the name?) and Asura. Now I've heard Zoro hasn't used Asura yet after the timeskip, but that's most likely because he hasn't gone up against someone who can push him far enough, and Satsuki should be able to do so. His stamina and ability to take stupid punishment will also help.

If it comes to close combat, Zoro has better skill and experience on top of the aforementioned precognition and ability to take a lot of damage.

So, I'm voting for my boy Zoro here. :)
 
why is speed equalized here? its not like she has TOO high of an adavantage to blitz him and with him having better experience, stamina, and precog would help deal with her higher speed.


I think it should be removed to make it slightly more fair.
 
Mach 940 vs Satsuki's mach 4500 That seems like a pretty wide gap along with the fact that Satsuki has superior AP, Durability and range.
 
Satsuki takes this.

Zoro's precog will help but as long as he will be blocking her attacks, he will feel the full force of them. Considering Satsuki is high-end Mountain level, it's only a matter of time Zoro's swords will give out and with them, Zoro himself. Add here the fact that Bakuzan can cut through hardened Life Fibers, one of the strongest materials around, and Zoro's swords won't hold on long.

Also @Burning. Zoro's current AP is rated including Haki hardening, without that he's normally weaker. And we don't know what Asura's AP currently is so...yeah.

Zoro's precog is not constant so there are weaknesses in it. Also Satsuki has flight in her arsenal that gives her more versatility in movement. And Junketsu is a weapon as well, if Zoro gets close enough without caution he'll end up skewered by Junketsu.

If they were of more equal power, Zoro would probably win, but Satsuki's AP screws him over.

Kenbunshoku Haki allows users to briefly see into the future or gives them a brief premonition of what's going to happen or what damage they might take from an attack, right? I heard this is how Luffy knew to run away from Mihawk or something. So, he doesn't need to block her attacks all the time, he can simply evade them. Since Zoro has apparently utilized evasion a lot against dudes like Kaku and Ryama (I don't know if I got them right) and I don't think he'd be stupid enough to continuously clash blades with Satsuki if he knows his swords are going to break, I think he'd avoid doing that repeatedly. Also, during the East Blue arc, Zoro used Johnny and Yosaku's standard swords to defeat the Takohachi Black guy when he was already in a bad state due to Mihawk's slash and I seem to remember he actually broke his swords so I wouldn't say Zoro's swords would break like that, especially since he can infuse them with Haki. He also has more options and chances to get hits in due to being more skilled and experienced than Satsuki, having three to nine swords, better techniques and precognition. Even if Zoro was using one sword, I'd still say he's more likely to get hits in. As for Zoro himself not holding for long, I can't agree with that. He has a massive amount of stamina, tenacity and endurance repeatedly taking attacks from weapons that do piercing/slashing damage, even if they're in the same spot. This dude was about to casually cut his own legs off and had already done it halfway before he was rescued along with Nami and Vivi. And let's not forget what he went through against the Takohachi Black guy, Arlong using his nose to stab him in the same place he was injured, and especially Daz Bones. It was really brutal and he still managed to win when he was on the verge of death, actually becoming stronger, more skilled and aware of his surroundings one-shotting the poor guy in the process. Well, not saying he would do the same to Satsuki, but you get my point. My knowledge of One Piece is currently limited to the beginning of the Skypiea arc, but I found this in the wiki.

Zoro managed to absorb all of the damage and fatigue Luffy had accumulated, besides the damage inflicted on him during fights with Oars and Ryuma during the Thriller Bark Arc. This is especially impressive as Kuma had stated to Zoro that, since he was already close to death, taking in Luffy's pain and fatigue in addition to his would definitely kill him. Zoro, however, managed to survive and later only remarked afterward that "nothing happened" when questioned by Sanji.

It is notable to mention that while Luffy fell unconscious after he defeated Moria due to his agony and exhaustion. Zoro, on the other hand, not only managed to survive but remained conscious even after accumulating all of the pain and fatigue he and Luffy had sustained, purely by sheer force of will and pride.

Shit, Zoro is awesome. :)

Also @Burning. Zoro's current AP is rated including Haki hardening, without that he's normally weaker. And we don't know what Asura's AP currently is so...yeah.

Hmm, okay. But I still stand with what I said. True, but it would give him a boost if he's losing or having considerable trouble, either of which could happen here. I see no reason why he wouldn't do so, except if he doesn't have access to it anymore.

Zoro's precog is not constant so there are weaknesses in it. Also Satsuki has flight in her arsenal that gives her more versatility in movement. And Junketsu is a weapon as well, if Zoro gets close enough without caution he'll end up skewered by Junketsu.

Like? Satsuki prefers close combat if I'm remembering correctly. I don't think she'd take to the air seeing as she actually has the advantage in striking strength and such here. Besides, it may not be as good as flight but Zoro can jump high distances and if Satsuki attacks from a distance, he can counter with his own ranged attacks. If what I heard about Luffy and Mihawk is true, Zoro would get a brief premonition and backtrack to avoid that. And I'm sure he would keep on fighting even if that happens.
 
Zoro: 6


Satsuki: 2


@Burning yes for for Haki to be able to see into the future it must be trained to that height. As for Endurance, stamina and skill Zoro should definitely trump Satsuki in that regard. He can also counter her long ranged attacks with his own as you said.
 
Satsuki for reasons above. I really don't think Zoro's precog and small skill advantage can overcome quite a big gap in power.
 
Zoro : Laughing Manson, Gargoyle One, Burning Full Fingers, CoreOfImBalance(COB), Frozone54666, Cropfist, ZackMoon1234, TheNeolancer


Zoro - 8

=

Satsuki - 3


Satsuki : AquaWaifu, ScarletFirefly, Josif1
 
It'll either get inconclusive, a long thread, another loss from a woman to Zoro, or finally a win from a woman to Zoro
 
Experience. Plus Zoro was trained by the best swordsman in his verse for two years. Also he's been trained since he was a kid.
 
Satsuki has beet training since she was a kid too and casually stomped a small army of swordsmen with her shock waves alone when she was just a child
 
^ How about being able to kill an army by doing nothing?
 
Or kill a guy with your toenail while tied up, beaten and starved.

Or kill a guy with a tea cup while sitting down not looking at him.
