Gambit kicked Blade in the head, the next we see him on the floor. Blade wasnt stunned however and theres nothing to suggest that he couldnt have kept on fighting. All it proves is that Gambit can kick Blade in the head and Blade can dodge Gambits cards not who would win.

I don't think Gambit landed that kick on Blade. Blade looked to me he was backflipping to avoid a leg sweep. There wasn't an impact charge drawn from the kick but there was one drawn on Gambit's foot when he landed imo.

I'd have to go back and look.

Well it does say THWUCK.

However it doesnt prove that Gambit would have won. Blade was in a position to carry on fighting. It wasnt a kick in the head though.

It does look like a sweep to me that did not land imo. Hard to say.

Imo, it looks like he did catch him with a leg sweep, hence Blade's position in the next panel.

Still think Blade is > Gambit, though. Even if there's a gulf between fighters, people are going to get their licks in...

I agree with everything said there.

-----------------------------------

Proposed Changes (Votes For / Votes Against)
Jubilee to third 2 [Smurph, Cresh] / 2 [llag, Nataku]
Kingpin to second: 5 [V, jrod, srank, capt, Accel] / 6 [Me, Soljer, llag, Macoy, Smurph, Nataku]
Moon Knight to second: 4 [llagrok, Fake McCoy, Alfheim, Mungi] / 4 [Soljer, Smurph, capt, endrict]
Midnighter to second: 1 [Soljer] / 1 [endrict]
Blade to second: 2 [endrict, Darth Martin] / 2 [llagrok, capt]

-----------------------------

Additions:
I've added Alpha (Michael Sommers) and the "Mad Dog" to third tier for now. The latter actually managed to kill Batgirl, but imo it's more due to brutality than pure skill. As always their placement is subject to discussion and change.

-----------------------------

Notes:

- The last tier has been dissolved. If you think a character that has been removed should be re-added or a character that has been retained be removed then suggestions are welcome.
For reference purposes the characters removed were the following:
Apocalypse, Grace Choi, Hulk, Monet St. Croix, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man,

- N.B. The Top Tier are characters above ~90th percentile of the total hierarchy top tier and under.
There are currently 18 Top Tier slots divided as follows:
Marvel - 8
DC - 8
Independent/Other - 2

- If you feel a character should be moved up or down, please actually state such, so that I do not have to guess intentions.

Blade to 2nd: Roaul, PZ, Trackz, Snoop and juggernaut74, Jukn
Against: Warrior18, BattleHammer, srank,smurph

Cyke to third: Roaul, PZ, snoop, Tracz, juggs, Jukn
Against: BattleHammer

Punisher to 2nd: PZ, warrior18, jrodslam, Tracz, snoop and Roaul
Against: BattleHammer, Philsophia, Kris Blaze

Moonknight to second tier: PZ, jrodslam, Tracz, snoop, Roaul, King Mungi
Against: Battlehammer

Kingpin to 2nd: PZ, Jrodslam,

Against: Jukn, Battlehammer (I think)

Are these votes correct? If so I think changes should be made. As far as im concerned old votes dont count and we should start again since some of the votes are from people who dont post here anymore, agreed?

Me and Bentley were for moving Drax up a tier.

Kingpin to 2nd: For
Cyke to third: Against
Blade to 2nd: Against

Im hoping you can give me a sensible explanation as to why Blade isnt 2nd.

I'm not sure about Moon Knight. I think Gambit can beat him.

Id like to put forward a suggestion for Bishops entry into the list at tier 3 (highly skilled)

I never said i was for Punisher to second, or Moon Knight... 😖

Drax to 2nd : Myself, Bentley

Originally posted by Battlehammer
maybe he was.

holding back a killing attack like say sheathing claws that were out, and instead punching the person in the face is holding back.

as is being able to stabb some one, but instead hitting them with the flat of the sword.

Well, he was hitting her with the hilt of his sword and whispering in her ear.

I didn't see the Spitfire fight. Anybody have scans?

Stop talking out of your arse. You just dont want to see Blade get a boost. I usually disagree with Roaul and even he thinks Cyke should be 3rd tier.


talking out my ass? shut up. You have no idea what your talking about. I dont even care if blade is second tier. I dont believe he should be because he has almost no h2h feats that put him in that tier, but I dont care if he in it or not. I do however have a problem with cyclopes being put in 3rd tier when he has no feats of h2h that put him there and on top of that there are people in the 4th tier he would kick his ass in h2h like falcon
also what is your obessesion with attacking all mine and jinzin and sranks post, it childish.
