To anyone thinking that Grailnighter will be sitting pretty behind his forcefield, here's what Vanth usually does to forcefields. The dude he's wailing on is the Pope/Emperor of half a galaxy and an extremely powerful sorcerer.

One more before I head to work, here's the one time Vanth couldn't just batter through a shield in one blow. This guy's personal shield is being backed by the reactor of his nearby starship. Vanth eventually gets through by knocking him to the ground and wailing on him repeatedly.
I include this image particularly to show that despite having given up Nightcrawler, I'm still no slouch in the dodging and agility department. Prior to this scene, Vanth had been coldcocked by a cyborg he thought had his back, hung by his arms and been beaten and tourtured for hours, electrocuted, and shot in the shoulder. Yet, he's still capable of fighting like this. In GODLIKE's case, this enhancement is applied to a demigod-sandtrout symbiote, rather than a normal human. And in this particular case, there's no diminishing returns. A few times in the series, the Sword is able to powerup Vanth to levels beyond even GODLIKE's, so I'm not hitting any sort of power cap in with its capabilities.

Also of note in that last pic is the width of that beam. It's a cone growing larger the farther it travels. Not an easy thing to dodge, nor something that could be parried with something as narrow as a lightsaber.
Even as it's spread out, it still has the power to vaporize whatever futuristic scifi materials stand in for reinforced concrete in the spaceport where they're fighting.
Here's another big bang from Vanths sword (I know I said one more pic, here's a freebie). In this scene he's blasting through the outer and inner hulls of a military spacecraft and still having enough oomph left over to scuttle its engine room. BANG!

i run into HKH's house, kick in his TV, knock over his fishtank and set fire to his cat... then i make a lot of noise and run away
when the enraged HKH comes outside to see who has been f**king up his house he sees only DOGLIKE and Nighter.... and he proceeds to pummel both of them
Actually, if you read farther down, what he said was:
In other words, It's up to the voters to decide. I say you'll be blocked. No-one seemed to think it unreasonable when it worked on Espionage and SW 2099. I'm betting they won't think it unreasonable to work now.
Furthurmore, weather it works or not is irrelevant given the scenario at hand. Warned by SS or no, when you try to block my enchanted uber-metal blade with your lightsaber my sword will absorb the energy from your saber and pass right through like it wasn't there; and I'm more than strong enough to bisect Scarlet in a single blow. Surprise, your dead!
By the way, "GODLIKE" backwards is "e-Kil-Dog" ...Scooby.

so the blade might disappear while in contact with your sword... as soon as it's through it pops back up and cut you head off... double KO... Khell wins.... damn you
the other three blades strike from different angles and you die either way
You break your foot on the TV tire yourself out trying to push his fishtank over and get mauled half to death by his HKH Kitty. You think that HKH would have regular stuff? No man, it's gotta be durable enough for regular living with HKH. So as far above normal man that HKH is, that's hoe far above the rgular stuff, his stuff is.
I should know I had to build that stuff for him, including the cat.
Assuming there's any power left at all, the blade might reapear.
Assuming that GODLIKE couldn't avoid all four blades and hack you anyway is a big mistake. He is that good. I'll repost the Benedict feats late tonight.

Well while you two are busy swinging at each other with swords that won't parry, I'll just be lobbing javelins in your directions, along with adamantium throwing daggers, all of which will be teleporting huge chunks of land out from under you and disrupting any part of your bodies/armor they hit on a molecular level.
Am I really this good? can I really utterly dominate these two badasses? HELL YES I CAN!
For those of you who weren't around for my first round bout with jinzin, here's the skinny on Benedict, Prince of Amber, from the "Amber" novels by roger zelazny; and why he's so much more of a combat fiend than anyone else on the field:
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.
At one point Corwyn is framed for the murder of Benedict's retainers. Benedict manages to chase Corwyn down 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 trick him 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 could touch him. Noone.
When it comes to combat, wether personal or mass, he is truly godlike, beyond the level we're usually even considering around here. He makes Deathstroke look like an amateur.
The only times he's been defeated have been due to conflict around close personal ties. Not a problem in this setting

Here's a special treat. This is a page from the aforementioned Guns of Avalon, wherin Benedict's brother Corwyn describes his feelings as he watches Benedict ride down on him. Remember, this is the hero of the tales who fought halfway up the mountain and all that. Corwyn's probably the third of fourth best fighter among this interdimensional pantheon of ageless demigods. The weak rogue-type brother in this family, named Random, can throw a sofa one handed and fight five badassed peak-human types at once. Benedict is the best there is.

actually laminator has an upgraded amalgam from when we fought.. his amalgam now is a beast compared to what he was when he tangled with me in the first round, he's made some considerable upgrades since then...

I was never quite clear on that point myself. The reason most often given by opposing voters was that he was "stronger and faster" when he was only slightly so. I think it was mostly a matter of noone knowing who my characters were, while TBK is a walking trifecta of mega-hyped characters. Too many voters under-weighted (in my own totally unbiased opinion ) my assets in favor of jinzin's more familliar characters. Dizzle's similar death-by-obscurity and subsequent frustration led to the formation of GODLIKE (and of course, the Uber-Charismatic Rainbow Brite). Thanks to Dizz and I trading draft picks, an option everyone in the bonus round had but only we exercised, my amalgam is both "stronger and faster" than anyone else in the tourney, and an even more effective fighter than Ben Dreadcrawler was. Yaaaaahh!
Give'em hell Jin, if I loose to anybody, I want it to be to the champ!

Well, considering my reaction time and the fact that I won't be even remotely within arms reach I'll have plenty of time to plot the easiest way to take you down. Probably a wide arc blast of chi to strip your bones clean.
Ha! I can absorb your blasts and/or counter them with my own until the cows come home. Thank's to my prescience and even greater speed I'll be able to tag you coming out of a 'port just like I did to Deacon in the last bout.
