Since when is devouring a shrine full of active demons considered Dormant energy? And I never said that Nightmare absorbs the beams, I said he blocks them while absorbing Jin's ambient devil power.

DJ in fact can absorb other people's power since canonically, Kazuya has shown that he has the ability to do so, and that is a result of having the Devil Gene. Jin is pretty much the same considering he possesses the Devil Gene as well, and even though his ending is not canonical, it states what would have happened had he won against Jinpachi.

Definite proof that people with the Devil Gene can absorb other people's powers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-AbuvpFFzM

Wrong, that prologue never said that he absorbed anything, nor did the Epilogue.... that showed that Kazuya can exert some influence over his other half (The half of the Devil that Jin inherited from Kazuya), that does not prove that the Devils have general absorbtion power.

Yes I actually do. That feat is really pathetic. What makes you think Devil couldn't to that? I know for a fact a group of Jacks are stronger, faster, and more durable than a bunch of humans in suits of armor. Guess what? Heihachi was single stricking them to bits, and he managed to lose to Jin. Just imagine how he would have done against DJ.

Uh hun... Nightmare was smashing upwards of 6 men at a time in comparison to Heihachi and Kaz's one each... and klets not forget that the Soul Calibur world is set in a time when soldiers where far stronger than normal men of our time, wearing 60KG plus armour and wielding all sorts of weapons, plus they are trained to kill with their weapons. Jacs arn't that superior. especially those ones that where designed as kamikaze soldiers.

Yeah if you knew, the reason why it's capable of being dodged is because he wasn't made to be cheap. He has one where he aims a bit towards the ground and it happens instantly as opposed to the one where he hits the opponent in the face.

He only uses that one on downed opponents, hows DJ going to knock him down? and that particular beam does pathetic damage compared with the other two... Oh, and he can't use that one in the air. Try again...

Yes it is...get your facts straight and watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7pMiIoCVMo

Again, your reffering to the one he uses on downed opponent, and since DJ ain't knocking nightmare down without closing the gap, and as soon as DJ is inm range, he's dead courtasy of that huge sword.

How about giving examples when he ever did?

In the game... whenever he took to the sky and fired the beam, he landed on his knees and was stunned for a good 2 to 3 seconds... play the game dude...

In your mind I would assume.

Play the damn game... fire either of his two main beams... if this is beyond you, then you shouldn't be arguing in this debate.

I agree it's something he can't do.

Don't go taking what I say out of context, dodging beams is easy, and although the beams are unblockable in Tekken, Tekkn doesn't have weapons.

You pretty much have no idea who Devil Jin is then.

Now your assuming, I made that sting at DJ because of the way you'r overrating him. Dude... Inferno was a much tougher opponent that DJ or Jinpachi.

Did I say he would? And he obviously will get tired fighting other opponents. He is not invulnerable to damage nor does he have everlasting endurance, so he will tire at some point.

You said how do I prove that DJ will tire before Nightmare will, and I asked you to prove that Nightmare will tire at all, since as far as I know, the only things to stop him, where acts of PIS and plot device, Example: the Yuga items and Soul Calibur, Sigfried struggling from within, and raphael piercing Soul Edge's core during that struggle. However... Nightmare, even after crossing VAST distances, deserts, forests, mountains... (Three continents worth, Europe, Africa, Asia), fighting as many opponents as he can along the way, and yet he never stopped, and never slept. thats as close to everlasting endurance as you can get, and you thing DJ will outlast him?! 😆

I'm sure with the Devil Gene, one has access to superhuman strength and durability. Devil Jin's power can effortlessly turn an entire forest into a barren landscape. Bullets don't affect him and he doesn't even wear armor like Nightmare does. He also took an explosion right in the face and wasn't scratched.

What explosion? and bullets did penetrate his skin... guess what that means, the sword is going through him just as easily as anyone else. And while the Devil gene does grant some supernatural powers (Only a fool'd deny that), It's nowhere near the level of Soul Edge.

Here I'll prove it:

Jacks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Humans in armor

Thats not proof... thats A>B>C logic, thats not admissable

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
All that matters is that he did it at least one time, since it proves that he has that power. Also, he was shown doing it in the Tekken 6 preview.

Has he healed any serious wounds? has he survived being hacked into peices? can he survive his energy and soul being devoured?... No? well then he'd better be alot better than Nightmare in other areas, because his endurance just won't outmatch the kind of damage Nightmare will dish out.

That was Jin. Let's see how well Siegfried does against those.

dude, the guy resisted sleeping for ages we're talking weeks on end, he was afraid of becoming Nightmare again.

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
It was actually. If not, it was just about.

It took some time..., anyways, it doesn't matter. Inless Jin is like Hideo Gamma from Ninja Scroll and is able to reattach lost body parts, Jin's healing factor os just not going to cut it

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
The only way I see Nightmare doing that is if he could fly, which I know he can't.

Jin can't stay in the air forever, once he lands, either after firing a beam, or tiring from running, Nightmare will be waiting.

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
Let's see if Nightmare can even land a hit...I seriously doubt that if DJ's beams can cut clean though a tower in a split second, it would not kill Nightmare outright. I have not seen Nightmare take an attack with that level of intensity before.

Heh, you havn't seen siegfried take on Inferno then.

Originally posted by Cloud_VII
Just because I said DJ has a healing factor? It was proven in more than one cutscene so why should I not bring it up in this argument? You're saying that just because he did it once does not mean he can do it again. That's really funny.

He doesn't do it regularly, and besides, it's moot, see above...

Also, if Nightmare cannot break through metal suits of armor, what makes you think he could pierce DJ considering he has durability that is greater than Jack's?

He did break through those suits of armour... easily.... what the hell are you smoking?

another thing is that if dj could just cut nightmare's arm off then if that hand had souledge in it then would nightmare not just turn back into a motionless corpse?

I would LOVE to see DJ try to pull that off, because DJ will be the one sporting lost limbs.

if you had played dark ressurection then you would have seen one of DJ's grabs he shot two lasers and did not tire or even recoil from either. they only put the recoil to prevent DJ from repeatedly shooting lasers repeatedly IN ACTUAL NON-STORYLINE-INFLUENCING COMBAT! YOU PLAY THE GAME

Thats a grab, hows DJ going to get close enough to perform that without getting hacked into peices?

nono he flings them WAY into the air like 30 ft. then shoots them

i think cloud has a video of it...

Devil had no such recoil in his lasers... why would they add them into Jin's lasers?

And, Jin still needs to get in close to fling them up into the air in order to fire the beam. Nightmare's superior reach will make it incredibly difficult to get close enough for the fling. remember, Nightmare's packing a huge sword that toutdistances Jin';s limbs 2 to 1.

indead..cloud and beta are fighting a lost battle
if DJ takes to the sky, he either falls because he shoot a beam and crashes, or he tires and falls anyway..if he tries to attack up close he'll be hacked to peices..
DJ doesnt have the range to go toe-to-toe, or the endurance to go long range..

it makes no difference because if we are going according to the game then DJ can block nightmare's sword and then grab him for 45% of his health then lazer him when he is on the ground, then just use demon scissors move and nightmare has a pancake for a face

Alright, lets take that road, Nightmare's 8-way run, tech hitting out if grapples, advancing guard out of strikes (All of which are very easy to do and every character can do) renders most of Jin's offence useless.

Plus, Nightmare has some wicked combo's for a sword wielder. Oh, BTW, just how is DJ blocking the sword?

gauntlets my fiend, gauntlets

How are those things going to block a huge ass sword? I can safely say that those gauntlets won't last long against that kind of onslaught.

dude if it were in the game then namco would want to make it fair cause heihachi can block nightmare's sword in sc2 (ps2 version) and his gauntlets are incedibly thin

He also has alot of different types, Jin has ones that where dsigned for hand to hand combat, not for blocking swords.

he can block yoshimistu's katana and not take any damage

Originally posted by beta ray bob

Thats nothing in comparison to being hit by hundreds of pounds worth of demon blade being swung by a superstrength empowered psycho knight.

Oh yeah, one other thing... all of Yoshi's blade attacks are unblockable, same with kunnimitsu's knife attacks...

im not gonna argue anymore..we know that nightmare wont be beaten by DJ...theres no way DJ can touch nightmare without getting cut to pieces, so this topic os over...accept it
btw...sc WTFPWNS tekken 😛

soul calibur is like tekken with swords, the philosophy behind it? who ever has the bigger weapon wins. in tekken all the characters are equal, except for nina and if this fight is going according to the game then dj can block nighmare's sword so it would not be unfair, but if it would go according to real life then devil jin would simply cut nightmare in half as he did to a TOWER! because if it were real life(ish) then nighmare's sword would be cut in half

the fighting in SC is much more fluid and caculated, plus it has a great story for a fighting game
the lasers would only affect soul edge if SE were a mortal sword...which i doubt it is..
besides your basing the laser arguement on the change it will kill NM instantly if they hit him, which they wont, and then DJ will be grounded so NM can finish him..

you did not read my earlier post, if the laws of physics applied to the fight
then sould edge would be made of metal therefore able to be cut in half by a laser capable of halving an 8-10 story tower

the laws of physcis dont cover magic..and the SE is magical..that arguement is moot..

if magic does not apply to the laws of physics then dj can shoot lasers out of his forehead evert 1/2 second like that move in tekken (square+triangle up)
