Dodging Spitfire>that.

there is no long standing retcon in marvel history to make it unusable.

it is a clear showing of there speed before upgrades.

Not sure, but I know for a fact it was not 30 years ago. They never even fought eachother before I was born and I am only 23. I believe that scan is from 1992 the comic series being uncanny x-men

i would put it in 88 to 92.. but it wasnt anywhere close to early 80's

Anybody know for sure?

Well that is some pretty crappy art for early 90s lol....my bad by the art style I would have said early 80s.

i am to lazy to pull out find the x men comic where they 1st fight each other for a date.

i just know it more then likely was 90's from the age i was when i started collecting wolverine, it was a big deal to me when they became enemies and whatnot.

Well anyways I did some research and Sabretooth first fought the X-men in 1986 ( Not necessarily Wolverine, though it would make sense)

The only point I was trying ot make is I'm sure there are plenty more recent scans that display his speed are there not?

i was just making fun of the after image argument as the legitimate reason blade wins b/c no one posted one of sabretooth, although normally ppl that know characters know he has them but we dont do scan wars very often its normally poor debating when that happens.

Right...good idea. I am just saying instead of posting a 20+ year old scan and saying this was before his upgrades it would be more accurate to just post a more up to date scan.....but I see what u were going for.

well some of his best speed and reflex fighting doesnt always have after images nor blurs to depict his speed. sometimes its just stated by the characters or narration.

the art style is just that art style it doesnt matter if it a splash page or a blur effect to depict the characters powerset. its how the character deals with the character and how well he does that establishes his speed/reflex and combat style.

ppl who cry my character wasnt trying his best b/c he didnt leave after images like he does with other artist and titles doesnt mean squat.

two similar speed characters wouldnt leave after images to one another if they are equal or close it is just dynamic art that people confuse with powerset.

It's just kind of stupid to do.

The fact that it's from over two decades ago only goes to exaggerate the point we're making about Tooth's speed...
If he was already faster than Blade before numerous upgrades.. well.....

😬

In any case... Yeah there are more up to date feats....

There's just little need to use them since Blade can't be proven to be faster than Wolverine by ANY margin but Sabretooth can... before his upgrades. It's not something worth dismissal.

*yawn*

are you going to comment, make an argument or just spam?

I've danced this dance before son.

whatever...

just to further make the point during this time Logan was depicted close to spiderman level speed.

so that makes Sabretooth speed just as if not more impressive that he can fight logan at that level early in his career.

see here we are establishing a characters consistent speed depiction and making a logical and informed decision.
