You missed the context of our statements in the back and forths. It's your fault that you kept cutting up my paragraphs into sentence fragments. YOU brought up Venom beating Carnage. Then when I responded that's inapposite because Sabretooth =/= Venom, you went on another tangent and brought up Wolverine vs Venom because somehow... I was bringing up Venom out of the blue. Horsecrap. YOU brought up Venom beating Carnage in the first place. Just because I addressed that and rebutted Venom's applicability here doesn't mean that I brought him up out of the blue. That's just one of SEVERAL examples. You want me to track them and lay out the posts one at a time? Stick to summarizing, it's easier for the both of us. I understand you have a train of thought going here, and I'm slicing up your summary, but that underlined part is the problem. What other character is as sure a bet as Sabretooth is, when it comes to being able to claw someone's throat or gut?
The only reason why Venom was brought up by me was to disprove the myth that Carnage>Venom and Spiderman.
To which you tried to convince us all that Carnage has beaten Venom and Spiderman "multiple times" and his roughly equals with Venom.... In spite of Venom kicking his ass a majority of the time.
Then you wanted to bring him back into this debate because according to you he uses hack and slash meathods against Carnage in their fights (ignoring their rarity compared to him just pounding on Carnage.

You list Sabretooth's attributes. And that's convenient for me. Because it is those attributes make him a slice/dice/stab/gut/eviscerating machine. And you're telling me that Sabretooth only has a chance at the majority? How can Carnage possibly win any extended fight (and you can bet your last dollar it will be), when a single claw swipe will end it?
Again... considering that I've never said that....
What I've called into question is Carnage and his ability to take VITAL/MORTAL blows... is it even a question that not all of Sabretooth's blows will be lethal ones? 😕
Again, false dychotomy. I guess that's what works for you though.

Work it out in your head: Out of 10 extended brutal fights, that could last minutes if not an hour, Sabretooth gets only 5 (maybe 6) claw swipes at his throat/gut. lolwut?!
Maybe you should take your own advice. You're arguing that Carnage has agility and range to keep Sabretooth at bay. Those should be able to win Carnage some wins and in some cases level the playing field in the hack and slash game.

It's the same blatantly disjunctive arguments I see from Superman proponents. [b]Them: "Superman has superspeed. He has superstrength. If he goes all out, and he will here, nothing stops him from instantly one-shotting his opponent. Because his opponent can't possibly react in time to defend himself." Me: "Well, I disagree with that in the first place, but then you really think Superman wins this fight 10/10?" Them: "Oh, no. Superman wins only 7/10." Me: "What? If I grant your premise, how does Superman even lose once? Let alone a third of the time?" Them: "You're straw-manning me." Me: "lolwut?!" [/B]
Again I've never laid out the one shot premise.. that WAS YOUR strawman. 😐

Same routine, different character.Fine, I show you symbiotes standing up to slashing, hacking and stabbing, and you're completely wrong. I'm not insulted that you set yourself up for that. I just expected more from you and find such assertions to be absolutely disingenuous. Which I don't respect.
Again strawmanning....
Venom the whole, and Carnage the whole can of course "stand up to" slashing and the like when it's topical, non-lethal damage.. no one said they couldn't and now you're just getting into semantics... but it DOES hurt them, it DOES wound them, and it DOES take it's toll on them. What I'm saying is that the durability afforded by the symbiote WILL NOT stop Sabretooth from cutting THROUGH the symbiote down to Cletus because that's the way they work. Always has been. Needle to the neck anyone?

Acting like Carnage isn't physically more durable than Sabretooth to the point where you're pretending Sabretooth is bullet-proof is so absurd, I can't even fault you for it.
Uh.... Sabretooth HAS shown bullet-proof durability on several occasions. 😕
And I only referenced that due to the fact that you apparently think that's enough occassions for something to happen against the grain to call it legit in a forum fight as per your vampiric touch BS.
Acting like Carnage's durability to blunt force somehow affords him an advantage against Sabretooth's claws that will completely bypass his suit ANYWAYS is what's REALLY absurd here.. Don't know what else to say really.. For someone who likes to site "on panel" so much you sure don't have a problem ignoring it. 😬

And acting like a weakened Carnage, who had his entire symbiote manifestation blown off his body... and then him healing it in two panels completely.... that means Carnage can't heal? MORE absurdity. And Carnage dying... to Sentry = Sabretooth winning? You think Sabretooth survives getting ripped in half in outer space by Bob? lolwut? You. You don't have to GTFO. You stay. This is comedy gold.
Oh for god sakes... Cletus didn't have to HEAL anything other than a gash on his face... which he didn't. That's not evidence of his healing factor for a host, its evidence of the symbiotes ability to reform after it's done being attacked.. nothing we haven't already covered.
Again Strawman.... I didn't say "Sentry killed Carnage so Sabretooth can"...
What I'm saying is that Carnage is a being whom in your opinion can tank vital/mortal damage... What did that healing factor do for him being ripped in half? Cause.... NOTHING by the looks of it.
If Sabretooth didn't need to rely on oxygen like Carnage... YES he could take being ripped in half and survive.
He's apparently healed from being mince meat on the floor. He's been stated repeatidly has being Wolverine's physical superior healing department included.. and Wolverine's been burned to the skeleton 4 times, beheaded, etc... Even Ultimate Wolvie tanked being ripped in half... Again this is stuff that SHOULDN'T be a surprise to you... but AGAIN.... whatever lengths you need to go to so you can pretend you have valid points I guess.
