Regrowing heads now, Sentry? If your head blows up, you die. Check the maximum limit on healing factors. A point blank e-beam shot would kill us both, and get you nowhere.
No, I'm not regrowing heads, but personal regeneration does come close. An arm or a foot maybe. Not a head.
Who says I have to aim for your head? Blasting the very platform were standing on while battling at close range will do just fine. I might lose a foot or a leg, but in a little while I'll be up and ready to finish you off. Since your legs and parts of your lower anatomy will be missing. If you survive that initial blast, I'll finish you off quickly giving you a warrior's death by decapitation...

I honestly though it was a 100mph... But honestly Digi, you need to clarify this please. Because the speed of the God Emperor by the way Dizzle's describing it, seems like he's at least 2 or 3 times faster than my Amaglam.
The bad part about picking a guy like you did Dizzle is that it's all speculation and no proof.
I know what Sentry's guy can do, I've seen it in action. Unless you can prove to me that you can compete, I'm voting Sentry.
It's a good dirty h2h fight it seems. I think this is the better of the two fights.
Speed: Didn't realize it would be such a big deal. Since Spidey is the "speed limit" (more for reflexes than running speed, but we're having to adapt it for that too), I honestly think Parker might manage quite a bit over 100MPH (olympic sprinters can hit 25mph) but we'll cap it around 125. If I'm not mistaken, 600mph is the speed of sound, and I can't see Spider-Man running 1/3 mach speed.
There...125mph is the official limit. I honestly don't think it means as much as this fight is making it seem. Reflexes and "fight speed" are more important than who can run a mile the fastest.
Anyone with a 15 Ton guy can be assumed to be near that. Leto is fast and he has Drizzt's bracers of speed around his ankles, so he's an exception, but between Thuderguy's fast-ness and Unicorn strength, Sentry might push that limit as well.

It's not complete speculation, it's estimation. Big difference. Leto and Drizzt have their speed feats (the bracers), they just don't have exact numbers attatched to them.
Leto creates crazy friction when he runs. 10 ton strength by itself is at least enough to compete with a moderate speedster. The bracers put it just a notch above that. The Baenre blademaster who originally had the bracers (he used them on his hands) swung his swords to the point where they were a blur. Drizzt had a hard time keeping up. (he won because the other guy's combos were too fast for even him to control. Drizzt countered it before the guy could stop himself, killed him, and put the bracers on his ankles)
Why does no one read my initial strategy? If we have an up close fight. (see my ranged strategery first. This is not my primary mode of attack, it's just a counter to "I go up and hit you with a sword" If he isn't faster than me, at the very least, I'm fast enough to keep out of his effective range) Drizzt slips into a state of instinctual killing fury. His blades are guided by pure instinct now. Whatever his skill was before, double it. Reactions boosted, attack speed and precision, overall defense, everything. Melee combat is more about skill than strength, to a certain point. Sentry is far from physically dominating me, his strength's a bit better, but that's it. I have a big skill advantage. The Hunter is friggin deadly.
From all accounts, Shatterstar is pretty good, but I still have yet to have anyone name me someone who is as impressive as even Wulfgar in pure swordfighting skill.
You have beams, I have beams. Neither of us will be surviving a blast from yours from that close. Mine, on the other hand, work more like a punch. Not quite so much backlash. A good amount of juice from up close should send you 3 mountains over. You can't beat me with swords, you can't beat me with energy, cuz it kills you too. Cuz seriously, how are you gonna hit the ground while swordfighting a guy?
Even at equal speed, do you really think that Shatterstar throws more accurately than Cyclops shoots? The energy beams, if they can still even hit me, will be severely reduced in power. All I need is one head shot. It's not beyond what Scott has already proven himself easily capable of. (he hit the moon with a huge blast... I know they're not allowed, but that's some disgustingly good physics)
Once again... Don't look, see that Sentry is a bit stronger, and vote. It's a bit more complicated than that. Skill more than makes up for strength here.

There... a speed limit. Now speed isn't an advantage for both of us. Then again that seems to take away some your speed assumptions Dizzle. Sorry Dizzle. Without your speed, almost all of your speed arguments go down the drain. It also bolsters my argument to where I can even get close enough to you to actually battle in a close quarters situation and I'd be able to get close enough to you to use my E-Beams to their maximum potential.
Really, this has been a good fight. I'm not gonna really post anymore from now on. I'll let Dizzle post a few in a row before I post again. If he brings up good arguments though, I'll be posting quite quickly.
