I don't think I DO think that Wolverine is "more skilled" than Cap... 😕
I think my argument is and has always been that there's plenty of evidence to suggest that he is, especially when you were ranting about how he wasn't even as skilled back in the day.
What I think is that they're practical equals in the skill department but that Cap uses skill more often because he has to where as Wolverine's a little more careless/lazy because he can afford to be.
No, it's not a low showing. In spite of what you want to believe Wolverine and Cap should be and in fact ARE equals when it comes to h2h combat, every bit of evidence from comics to handbooks and back dictates this to be true. The only advantages either has over the other is Wolverine's HF over Cap and Cap's slight strategical advantage over Wolverine (very slight). They fought to a stalemate in skill, that's how they should be portrayed. Cap lost to a berserker Wolverine who with a delayed HF or not is still beastly.. Really what more do you want kid?
