If Herc pulled the same moves he did in the Herc fight I can see some of them going down.

My point is, just because its a less deadly MA, doesn't mean he isn't as skilled as the rest.


.........less deadly does no matter.
second tier means your a master of martial arts as in many forms.

wrestling also is not that great a style ninjitsue and others a greatly more effective.

also if herc was moved up thing, colossus and so forth should be moved as well.

hell name some one other the ares and wild what ever it called that herc could beat in a match of skill.

Many forms? Nah

It just means you're a master martial artist.

what? no im not.

...........man your full of your self.

first off I don't even think ares belongs in second tier.

you thinking herc belongs in second tier has nothing to do with my decision.

...

Ninjitsu isn't a martial art, in the traditional sense of the word.

edit that was not ment for you soljer

Sure it does, you don't back up your claims with anything.

Hell, you don't have a reason for not wanting to move Cable down either. It's simply "ask martian"

...I would argue the same thing for Transformers.
I guess technically you could argue against the "origins" argument in the following manner.

Just because they were not originally something dies not mean they are not that now. Emma frost was originally a bad guy, but she's not considered to be one now, same with rogue. Even nintendo would not be a video game company by the argument of what they started off. as they started off making hanfuda cards.

So G.I. Joe and transformers might have started off as toys but that does not mean they don't make comics. Nintendo might have started off as hanfuda cards, but that does not man that they do not make video games. But then the question becomes of how long would they have to have been doing it in order to be counted as a comic book?

Buffy's comics have been around since 1998 that's nearly 10 years.
The forgotten realms comics were first published in 1989, that's 18 years That's only 5 less years than the transformers comics.

So what's the cut off date? 20 years? 30? 40?

back up what claims? what claim did I make?

actaully my reason for not wanting to move cable down is untill some one present evidences showing why he does not deserve second tier.

also in this thread I was the original perosn to disagree with cable being second tier untill martian presented me with information which if not mistakeb is in this thread.

also again your a cocky ****. trust me I don't think enough of you to simply disagree with you, for the sake of disagree.

Lets be honest. I just think anyone is being biased with certain characters being on the list.

Theres no denying it, whether we realize it or not.

Herc may only know wrestling, boxing and a few greek styles, but he is a formidable H2H fighter.

I'll co-sign him to 2nd tier. And keep Ted Grant in 2nd tier. The man is the best boxer in DC. Hell, he trains the JSA, Batman, and many others.

Hell no on Cable being 2nd tier.

And why is Deadpool not top tier?

I am not voting him down, mainly trying to use him for an example.

I dont even like cable.

and herc one of my favorit bricks

also look at this list
Adam Warlock, Agent X, Azrael, Backlash, Black Panther, Black Widow, Bullseye, Cable, Captain Mar-Vell, Champion of the Universe, Cheshire, Crossbones, Daken, David Cain, Deadpool, Deathstroke, Donatello, Echo, Eric Killmonger, Gorgon (Tomi Shishido), Green Arrow, Grifter, Jason Blood, Judomaster (Hadley Jagger), Karnak, Lady Deathstrike, Leonardo, Magnus, Merlyn (DC), Michaelangelo, Midnight Sun, Mr Sensitive, Natas, Nick Fury, Nightwing, Prometheus, Puck, Ra's al Ghul, Raphael, Ravager, Red Hood, Red Skull, Silver Samurai, Steel Serpent, Stone, Talia al Ghul, Twelve Brothers in Silk, White Tiger (Angela del Toro), Wildcat (Ted Grant), Winter Soldier, Wonder Woman, Vandal Savage, X-23, Zealot

most of the member sof the list would completely pwn herc in skill.

Keep the bitchfest going...update'll be on the next page.

Damn man getting touchy. Relax.

I was thinking maybe the name of this should be fighting ability not MA skill because not everyone knows a MA but is still an awesome fighter.

lady deathstrike,silver sam,ronin,echo,puck,leo are just a few who mkae herc look foolish in a fight in pure skill

Exactly. There are individual martial arts within the school. Ninjitsu is very, very often confused with Taijitsu.

Anyways....On a semi-somewhat-kinda related note...should we include weapons skill in these tierings? Or only empty handed skill?
