So I guess that I do need to bust out the list of guys that have lost to slower ones, and ones that could not fly.
Lobo vs Superman
Hulk vs Gladiator
Rulk vs Thor
Superman vs Doomsday
Hulk vs Ironman
If I asked you who you thought would win, between Ikaris and Wendigo (Mauvais) what would you say? Yea but Ike is way faster, and he can fire bolts of energy.
See there are variables in between, that bring the blitz under control in many cases. Carol has superior durability, and comparable strength at base levels, but let's take Kory's fighting style into consideration. She's a blaster type character, do you think Carol would let on that her star bolts are making her stronger, and faster? No.
This is not a stomp when CIS is on. They would have a hell of a fight.
I've literally read every single issue of Ms. Marvel and every Avengers title with her in it. Not trying to build ethos here, just saying.
KMC forum rules state that each character gets basic knowledge of the opponent. They aren't going to be spilling energy on each other. Keep in mind that Carol has to amp to get to Kory's level, and she's NOT as skilled of a fighter by comic continuity.
Warlords of Okaara > Shield
Starfire was raised from birth to fight in WAR. Starfire defeated every single Amazon, save Diana and Donna who weren't there, in h2h combat for a tourney. Hippolyta said that she could rival Diana herself. I posted this in her respect thread.
Carol isn't going to have time to leech electricity from the city. She's going to be bum rushed by a feisty, orange, broad shouldered, alien war princess aching to bruise her knuckles.
Sorry for the double post, but I just caught the "she's a blaster character" comment. She's been the team tank since forever, but alright. Dont' forget that Carol blasts more often than Kory does, and Kory is just as likely to absorb that.
I think it's a good fight, but the only thing Carol really does better than Star is absorb energy and amp from it. Everything else, Kory's at least a little better.
You, and I both know that you are the only person that's solidly placed Kory in the class 100 club. Kory beating Donna means what exactly? Donna isn't in the big league. You recently thought that Kory would be a good match for the savage Hulk as well (don't kid yourself).
Wonder Woman is a different story, so is Power Girl, Supergirl, and Maxima... Could Kory beat Superman, or Thor on a regular basis? Could she even compete in that level if either of those two took it up a couple notches, to where they were slobbering because of the effort that it would take to put a true elite down? Doubtful.
Ms. Marvel is in Kory's weight class, and could take a few wins from her, it's not like I'm arguing that the Beast would have a chance against her, because that's not the case. Carol was trained, and therefore would not be a walk in the park if she fought Kory. Am I saying that Carol would win every fight that they had? No absolutely not, but I am saying that on any given day she could. What stops Carol from breaking away from Kory amidst a forest of buildings, and finding a power source to amp herself with?
When you take the two of these characters, who by the way seem more similar than any other character in Marvel and DC, and put them in a vs thread, many variables come into pay. It's not as simple as Kory wins, or Carol wins.
Your whole argument seems to revolve around the false notion that there isn't a weight class in-between Superman level and Carol Danvers.
Starfire laughed at Superboy when he asked Kory if she could stop him and Wondergirl at the same time.
Starfire carried an aircraft carrier a ways.
Starfire wrestled it out with Wondy.
Starfire used to outmuscle Donna Troy who, even before her resurrection, was a low-mid 100 class.
Just a few issues ago in Robinson's JLA it took the combined efforts of Donna Troy and Mon-El to grab her arms and keep her from murdering their enemies. lol
Carol's only 100 class feats are under extreme casses of energy absorption. I guess she went h2h with Wonderman, but hey, he was mind controlled.
It's obviously a low-showing on multiple parts. Donna is a class 100, Miss Martian too. There isn't a good reason why any of them should be having trouble there.
Everyone has low showings, we tend to focus on the norm, not the odd outliers.
Miss Martian has knocked Supergirl around. Everyone has low showings.
Should I find the scan of Carol struggling to deflect the roof of a tank thrown at her? She literally says it took all of her strength to redirect a minuscule chunk of metal.
Don't low ball me, son. I've had this argument too many times to count.
it's harder to restrain a person going wild than it is to bullrush a person. here's an example; I have a friend who had an abusive boy friend, while they were at my house he decided to become aggressive with her, and I had to restrain him. It was hard as hell to restrain him, but at the same time, I've trained in a gym with this person, and my max press far exceeded his. I'm not just talking about benching, but I'm talking about that in every excercise we did that I was consistently lifting more than he was.
Carol runs at about 92 tons unamped, this is right below Wonderman.
low balling is exactly what you are doing to Ms. Marvel. If you refuse to see that Kory would have her hands full with Carol that's up to you, just like it's up to you to believe that Kory would stand a chance against Superman, the Hulk, Thor, or Wonder Woman if they switched gears on her, and went all out.
If she does, and I mean if. She would have her hands full either way. I don't see Carol having much luck against those guys either. kinda makes you wonder since DC doesn't place a ton range on its characters directly.
What I was saying from the door though is that Kory isn't going to be doing any one slap you're out routines on Carol.
