Lol, nice contradiction. Keeping it simple would be simple kicking and punching like you said, so come up with another explanation. This is Namors fight. Funny how no one seems to remember that Namor is a better hand to hand fighter as if that wouldn't matter.
Not sure i agree on the shockwaves/dampening things.
I've seen GLs strain/sweat as they held fields together under attacks.
One as close to the skin as in this scenario, with him being smacked around?
It should be an issue for Hal.
My point being, if its not attached in any way to his body, and is just a millimetre above his skin...and is inflexible (hence the strain)....how would he feel the punch?
Assuming darkseid actually hit him with much effort,as he snaps hal's arm like a twig next....namor also took hits from thanos and wasn't ko'd,took a scream and black bolt and swiftly recovered,took a nuke to the face,shrugged off hulk's hits,withstood voidty's hits and was completely fine afterward,withstood a hammer hit from nekkron that iirc,destroyed new atlantis the next page....is a much better fighter than hal,and is a lot more experienced in battle. I give this one to namor
You are assuming the difference between hal and darkseid was near enough that darkseid had to put effort to break his shields...that's,just an assumption,I could also assume thanos had to put effort to teach namor a lesson(hell he said it had been a while he had faced a good opponent)....pretty sure hal also broke his constructs just smashing into darkseid too iirc,and darkseid oneshotted hal,alongside everyone else bar supes and flash,when he hit the ground. Bottomline, thanos/namor and darkseid/hal,isn't really good to use as durability,as their opponent was far stronger and beat them down while holding back,with no quantifiable measure of how much,you could say it took much effort,I would just disagree and none of us can prove it.
Hal takes energy blasts to the face? Or with his shields/constructs which cnt be used here?..cuz namor took the nuke to the face,and the scream was at near point blank too and his body can easily survive at the bottom of the ocean,the amount of pressuer per inch there would also add to what he can take as physical hits are concerned. Also there is a scan of him being punched into 3 different biomes in one of his respect threads iirc,and he got back up
He also withstood hits from blue marvel and BL thor too,the hammer smash from nekkron and having mountains crumbled and dropped on him(courtesy of tiger shark),among others,a younger version taking down ares and wonderman at the same time,etc
Guys can dodge hits in a slug fest can't they? Or isn't that how it works?
Ah,didn't see the 'personal shields' if that's allowed then this isn't exactly a slugfest. Though I would give namor a slight advantage,since hal needs to actually come out to hit him,and he should be able to handle average hal's hits and eventually break through that shield after several tries
