No weapons. The fight takes place in a Dojo, and both are wearing traditional gi, but their trademark masks and colors. Both have watched tapes of the other fighting. Slade watched Tasky fight Batman, and Taskmaster watched Slade's fights with Batman.
Does anyone have scans of him vs. the avengers? It's hard to tell from the descriptions I've heard if it was just all the avengers jobbing or if TM won for real.
Well, TM came prepared. He is great with prep. Basically, he has a mock up of Cap's shield, Hawkeye's bow, and Black Knight's sword. Basically, as he picked up their fighting styles, he could predict what they were going to do next. If you go to the Deadpool respect thread, you'll see how he does it.
Slade doesn't need to copy anyone, he just beats their arse down. Slade is very good with prep as well...................poor taskmaster doesn't have the physical stats to keep up with Deathstroke.
I didn't say he was using weapons I was commenting on taskmasters prep and made an association to slade with it.
Slade should best Taskmaster, his stats are much better and he is a master at h2h combat he is constantly battling against much stronger ppl then himself oh and winning I mean.
Give me an instance where he isn't jobbing and I'll believe you. Many of Slade's bigger showings are loads upon loads of plot induced stupidity. Taskmaster has higher feat showings than Slade does. All Slade really is is Captain America with USAgent's strength, but likes to pick on kids. Taskmaster has owned Cap on more than one occasion.
Not only does he like to pick on kids but he is also very very fast, much faster then cap! Much better in H2H fighting or at least equal and hyper senses let him see things comparetively in slow motion.
I've read all those. Slade respect thread. Doesn't really show he's a better hand to hand fighter. Also, didn't Wolverine kick Slade's ass in the X-Men/Teen Titans crossover?
That scan clearly says he can copy a move WITHIN limitations . Taskmaster is still only human Slade is above human . Taskmaster can copy but not with exactly the same speed and strength as Slade .
