Would that improve his sword ability? No.

He's apparently been training since swords WERE state of the art weapons. Once Lam gets back, he can go into further detail.

And hell yes I'm arguing for GODLIKE. He's 1/3 Leto Atreides II. And I am QUITE the Leto Atreides II fanboy. I think that qualifies as teaming up... And it's definitely working. Between us, we have all 3 votes so far! Though how I got 2, I have no idea. I didn't really start going at it with EL until after all of em were cast...

ALRIGHT, I'M BACK!

Sorry to keep the fans waiting, had a pesky friend's wedsding to attend. While Esteemed Leader's arguments are largely based on misconceptions, it's nice to have someone actually attempting to stand up to me. Kudos to Dizzle for stepping up in my absence. What a guy.

E.L. before we go any further, I suggest you (and any potential voters) go back and take a look at my bout with Jinzin, particularly the middle section where I post lots of material about Benedict and Dreadstar. I won't duplicate it all here, but I'll sumarise.

Benedict is essentially a demigod of war from a setting whete such beings aren't as physically powerful as they are in comics. As Hercules is to strength, Benedict is to martial skills. Phisically speaking, he's beyond peak human across the board, but below Spiderman's level in strength and agility. As far as his skills go, imagine someone like Deathstroke, a real psycho about seeking challenges and bettering himself. Now imagine if someone like that spent several thousand years wandering through countless alternate realities consttantly seeking ever greater challenges. That's Benedict.

He is the immortal swordsman whom other immortal swordsman flee across entire worlds to avoid facing. Deathstroke's entire carees would be like a pleasant summer-camp memory to Benedict.

Regaurding Godlike's strength, I explained the basis for my estimates both here and in the general discussion thread. Go back and read them.If anything, they are low estimates.

Your claims of being stronger, faster, and more skillful are wholely without merit, thoug I understand that's just because you're un-familliar with the characters. Look at the material I posted in Battle #3, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Just ot clarify fir EL restrictions have been removed so he is wearing Heavey Pred Armor which covers great deal of area including the torso and allows him to wear to heavey plasma casters stronger than the normal ones and now he has two. That chainmail is DC's adamantium so you can't cut through it even with Uber metals. He ncan now carry his full arsenal with hyim from both the Pred and DS. Which includes weapons that are handeld and one shot equals a Naplam Bombing plus he has his self destruct device now. He has his claoking ability now.
Skill you've got to be kidding me. DS is not some ordinary soldier skill wise. He is an enhanced person who can quickly come up with multiple plans of attack fast and execute them even faster. Has he ever fought an army he has gone up against the JLA and Teen Titans which make armies look like chew toys. Now you add on the fact that he has the exprience from a roughly thousand year old Pred and no one here can touch him in the Combat ability department.
Speed means nothing to Mauler as he has hit the Flash and kid flash as well. These people's speed aren't going to overwelm him. The Pred the helmet will allow him to know where everything is at on the battle field so no you can't hide from him. Plus he carries an armory that makes Wolverine and Cyclops look like chumps. More Uber metal weapons then you can shake an eye at more high powered weapons than you can deal with.
(Oh yeah by the way since a Pred ship can be controled from the ground I could use a Pred ship as well to bombard the area clean of life)

Normally this is when I'd close this fight...but it'll be up until Tuesday per Jinzin's request.

Where is jinzin...is he dead ?

Nah just gone for a few days...didn't want his fight starting and not be able to defend himself. We're nearly done with the tourney, and aren't on a strict time schedule, so I was happy to bump the semis back.

So when this one end, there is a brand new one...where people could enter ?

Well, Dizzle is debating Laminators character for some reason...

...seems unfair to me.

Meh , this kinda crap happens all of the time .

On a completely unrelated note , i just went on a spending spree and picked up

[list]Dragonball Advanced Adventure
V for Vendetta (graphic novel)
Metroid Fusion
Batman Begins
and Akira
[/list]

WOOT WOOT

Batman Begins sucked.

...

(Probly just flushed any possibility of winning down the toilet)

Erm, my understanding was that Digi had not removed the individual element power restrictions. If that is not the case, it's not a problem. Taking the wraps off Benedict and Dreadstar's other powers would end things right quick.

If I'm correct, 2099 doesn't have spider-sense. Physically I am about even with you, and I have three layers of armor in response to your one. I am at least as skilled as you. I have more weapons than you. And since your force-field only covers your front, I can attack you head-on and stab you in the back with my tail.

You don't want to mess with SW-2099. My alien armor won't be pierced by a sword, if you even get that close. A hadoken, chest blast and eye beams with auto targeting will easily rend your armor and take you out... if I was to debate, that is.

Scorpion's tail can pierce titanium...

Great! Too bad you won't get to use that ability when you've been taken out at range. Webs + grappling hook + dense forest + spiderman reflexes = I have maneuverability advantage, for once 🙂

Tail + Scorpion reflexes + Deathstrokes speed and agility boost + Predators and Deathstroke TRAINING in how to fight in the wilderness

I should have the advangtage in maneuverability

Ground maneuverability may be equal. But webs and grappling hook give me greater vertical and diagonal movement. I could propel myself above the forest if I wanted to, and control aerial movement by snagging trees with webs to control my direction.

But if you are above the treeline it's doubtful you'd hit anything...

Power meshing and armor meshing are acceptable ad encouraged...but any limits on individuals (such as no TK, flight, etc.) are still there.

And Dizzle can debate for whoever he wants...it seems to be working as a strategy at the moment, since he's winning. 🙂

Not with auto targeting + improved & night vision

I just don't think it's fair to get votes for an amalgam that isn't his...

You realize that I have all of Predator's sight modes, right?

And an auto-targetting burner as well.
