TASK-freakin-MASTER...whatever you have to offer...will soon be mine...nuff said ...also using a tactical strategy to win this fight isn't really at your advantage for two reasons... first being you'd have to live long enough to put it into action..and the second is because it's YOU that's setting up the scenarios and strategies here...

One: It doesn't matter wether you glide, parachute, or fall. Falling makes you easier to lead with the grnade, but that's all.
Two: Your're way beyond the range of those Barettas, Shields, and webbing until you're very near the ground. Your're three kilometer's up dude. With air drag, you'll reach the ground before any webbing could.
Three: I've got plenty of time. Falling three km will take you over a minute if you just dive the whole way. If you glide or para, I've got even more time.
Four: I will so flash-bang you! If you try the velocity change-up (nice idea by the way), I'll just throw another one. Heck, B.D.'s the kind of guy who'd expect that sort of trick and have the other stun grenade in hand.
Five: You WILL git hit! The point of the stun grenade is to get ready for this. Or course it's not enough to polish off the symbiote, but it'll stun you (again especially with Sabertooth's senses) for a moment. That brief moment of not dodging is all that's required to blast Big Kahuna to pieces. I'm not talking about bullets or a stab wounds here. I'm talking about enough power to blast a boulder the size of an elephant to gravel without a being powered up (Dreadstar Issue One Page six). Kahuna's certainly a good dodger. We both are. We could literally dodge eachother for hours out here. (If we go for the long game, this is gonna be a damn boring battle.) The whole point of this setup is that you'e got nowhere to go, nothing to push off of, no cover, and you've been momentarily blinded and deafenned, and concussed; and the blast is travelling at near lightspeed No one can dodge under those circumstances.
You're simply never making it to the groung in one piece.

Taskmaster? Please. What's he seen me do so far? He aint seen nothin yet. Besides, like I said when Tasky tries to go on the offensive against a REAL-Master (Cap, Electra), he looses...every...time.

I won't need to. This guy's never going to get anywhere near me unless I'm baiting him.
But, I stand by what I said about Taskmaster. He's great at making fools out of people who are trying to catch him and then splitting, but when he actually tries to stand and fight he looses.
I mean think about it, he probably knows Captain America's moves better than anyone else's, plus all his other stuff, and he still couldn't beat him.
He did get away though.

Here's en excerpt with Corwyn, the hero of the novels, giving a "Respect Benedict" lecture to his sidekick.
This is coming from a guy who himself fought halfway up a winding mountain against an entire army coming the other way. Corwyn kills nasty monsters without breaking a sweat. Corwyn defeats Amber's Rival, The Courts of Chaos's Warmaster in about two paragraph when the meet near the end of the saga. During centuries he spent living on earth, Corwyn served under Napoleon, Lee, and MacArthur, and compares Benedict favorably to all of them. Corwyn's spent thousands of years contending and warring for the above mentioned throne. He would just give up straight away if Benedict wanted it.
T one point Corwyn is framed for the murder of Benedict's retainers. Benedict manages to chase Corwyn doen despite a days head start and Corwyn twisting worlds to hit him with a forest fire. When benedict finally corners him, after riding for days, he still completely dominates Corwyn, despide being missing his good arm at the time. He and his brother fence with broadswords (they're strong, fast, and tough anough to fence with broadswords) and he casually cuts down full trees as if they were bamboo when Corwyn tries to hide behind them. (Corwyn takes advantage of Benedict's rage to trip him up and escape, but you know, he's the protagonist)
Ah yes the arm. Benedict lost the arm in a moment of hesitation when he learned that the leader of a band of Beastriding Hellmaids out of Chaos was his former lover. Freshly amputated, he still manages to kill her, and her army. Days later, he leads the Armies Of Amber in defence against an assault of Wyvvern riding beast-men. He fights mounted with the reins tied around the still-fresh stump of his arm and his sword in his off-hand. Noone can touch him.
When it comes to combat, wether personal or mass, he is godlike, beyond the level we're usually even considering around here.

actually it does.... one, it gives me the oppurtunity to glide away from your ass if I so choose, two it allows me to rain things down upon you.... you are not out of my range as I am coming down towards you... I have a huge help from gravity at this point.... and 3 if I do fall I get right back up (you do know I can use my symbiote like a giant shield to absorbb the impact right?) and you know have ZERO time to prep for me to show up...
nope onece again, I have gravity helping me out here.... and how the hell is TBK gonna hit the ground before the webbing does?
that's assuming I went freefall... if that's the case, then once again you've got little time to prep for my arrival...
you only have that time IF I LET you have it... remember my symbiote can shapeshift into all sorts of shapes and sizes...I can form myself into an aerodynamic figure andmissile my way down towards you... I just have too many options to go with...
so your whole plan is that your character knows what I'm going to do before I do it? last time you posted you were attempting to prep your sword WHILE getting your flashbang ready... now your pulling two out? which is it?
meh no matter... your only chance to flashbang me is a minute one.... thing is I got this nifty symbiote... chances are you missed me with that first one as if you tried to chuck it while I was gliding my symbiote stopped it before it could get to me... orrr I globbed a chunk of webbing in the opposite direction to stop it's momentum upwards and now it's succumbing to my webbing's velocity + gravity..... hell it's likely that plan could just as well work against you.
now I hit the ground and you have another one ready? fine....that's great I don't care.... using my photographic reflexes I already see what's comming by the time you even begin to toss the mofo...all of the sudden webbing's flying your way and you now have a flashbang stuck to your hand.....things are getting ugly....
...immmm no...no I won't...unless your packing a throwing arm that can launch things faster than bullets in double time your not hitting jack....
... again I'd be impressed in other situations... here however I am not...venom BY HIMSELF has walked right through shrieks sonic scream... an attack that leveled a wherehouse, he faced off against a regiment of mace warriors all packing rockets and sonics and fire..AND HE WON... he did the same thing to the wild pack who had more of the same, he did the same thing to the sentry guards who had more of the same.... NOW I have even further enhanced durability and such from sabretooth.....who, because he's crazy and likes pain to some sextent probably won't be near as effected by and attacks that can damage my symbiote... proof you ask? certainly...
carnage totally ignored setting himself on fire because, and I quote... "I DON'T CARE!" now the sabretooth part o me is pissed off you are not going to hit me, and you certainly are not going to stop me even IF you did... chances are though...,I web the shit out of you before you can do anything with that sword.. or hell I just web the sword and launch it miles into the treeline... kinda funny how you ignored the fact that I have an energy shield altogether eh?
which you would lose thanks to me symbiotic tendrils, photographic reflexes, enhanced speed, double speed, mock spider sense, and superior healing factor, durabality and stamnina...
as I already explained... that isn't quite accurate... as far as dodging.... guess you never heard of spiderman..... ?
my guys got faster reflexes, a mock spidey sense, and superior speed.... all I need to do is dodge one or two blasts... (or delfect them with my energy shield...then my photographic reflexes will pick up on what you're doing with the sword, dodging won't even be an issue for me.... again... I just have too many options...
well if I was stripped of my powers, my adamantium, my symbiote, my reflexes, my OPTIONS altogether.....you might have a point...

I think Benedict is probably more of a badass than we realize (In my opinion Drizzt didn't get enough respect last round either, but I'm biased there since I'm a fan) but this is still a good match. I wasn't familiar with much of Lam's stuff before this but I'm pleasantly surprised. Fortunately, I don't have to vote in these matches...because a lot of them would be a pretty rough decision.
And I like this match...no debates where I have to rush in and define soemthing so that everyone is happy.
yeah, thus far everything as been pretty good as far as sportsmanship and compromise goes...
