Yes there is because the all encompassing statement saves time and points out the difference in Cap's level of skill and that of the average Dogo martial artist's(which routinely give Spidey trouble) or the 3rd degree blackbelts of a single style you might see on TV at home. Cap's level of skill is absolutely unheard of in the "real world" and the fact that he's he knows every form on the planet is an ample demonstration of that(because no one in our world knows them all). It's THAT level of skill combined with Cap's "peak human" physicality and armor that allow him to go toe to toe with guys like Spidey, so it is a pertinent piece of info.

No, Cap is able to go toe to toe with Spiderman because he is Captain America, just like Batman beats metahumans because he is Batman. Don't try to use logic, it wont help.

I don't see how you guys constantly mentioning Cap's martial arts skills means he can win against a guy who is faster, stronger, at least as skilled, and precognitive, with a long - range immobilizing attack.

Sure, in a comic it could happen due to jobber auras and PIS, but in a vs. match I doubt it.


The speed difference is small, strength is countered by durability(from Cap's armor), and long range attacks aren't an option in this thread. As for "at least as skilled"... how the Hell do you figure?

Spider-man would take a large majority.

Proof?

With all due respect , I think the speed difference is the decider here... Let alone the difference in strength.

No they aren't. Almost every Art is useful in one situation or another. Versatility in the Arts never hurt anyone.

Just to throw this out there: what if Spider-Man knew Cap's fighting style as well as Cap knew his?

1. Irrelevant. He doesn't.

2. In the hypothetical situation that he did, it'd minimally affect the outcome - Spidey isn't the tactical melee genius that Cap is.

I tire of this whole bullet argument.

Don't you know bullets, lasers, ninjas and trained soldiers are the most ridiculous things in comics? You can't base your whole argument off a bullet after its been fired. In real life no one below quicksilver speed should be able to dodge a bullet as most bullets travel around the speed of sound, and some can reach mach 2/3 and even greater. Secondly, no one below Wonder women speed should be able to dodge lasers; because you know, lasers travel at the speed of light?

In comics can Spidey dodge lasers? Yes

In comics can Cap dodge lasers? Yes

In comics hell Aunt may could probably dodge a laser.

In real life would any of the above be possible, HELL NO. And I know what you thinking "The spidersense will warn him", sure it will, and he will probably be able to get out of the path of the laser [b]BEFORE its fired. But I'm talking about no spider sense after its fired. No one has that speed below Wonder women level, and then people on her level would get tagged more often then not because lasers are just as fast as them.

That is real life, this is comics. You can keep up with all the math all you want, but at the end of the day, suspension of disbelief will see you through most of the disbelief.

Spiderman is fast enough to dodge bullets and see them in slow motion and so is cap. So how is it possible anybody ever lands a punch on them that isn't above quicksilver level in speed. They should never get tagged, in theory it makes sense. But again this is comics, and some things you have to take with a grain of salt.

Moral of story: bullet feats are good, but don't take them too far and leave the real life math out. [/B]

Minimally.

Irrelevant - Cap's durable enough to take Spidey's wild punches. Spidey can't resist Cap's nerve strikes.

Lulz. All there really is to say on this one.

He isn't precognitive. He has a spider sense, which is a bit different. He doesn't predict the future. He gets an alarm, so to speak. It's been fooled before, and can be fooled again. Especially by someone as experienced, skilled, and tactically sound as Captain America.

Did you happen to notice that the fight is hand to hand? There is no webbing here. (Please note that I feel if webbing were allowed, I'd give this match to Spidey for a large majority.)

Captain America has been able to take on Parker and Parker-level foes since his inception. It's as much PIS for Cap to take on low-metas as it is for the Surfer to fly through space, or Thor to call a bolt of lightning. They've been doing it since day one.

Didn't Spidey punch through that Gamma guy? The one who consisted of the 12 gangsters or something.

Punch him a shitload of times really, really hard and eventually his arms almost fell apart.

The speed difference isn't all that much though, Cap has a feats to match some of Spidey's best. I can all but guarantee that any speed feat you come up with for Spidey has an equivalent in Cap's resume. And as I pointed out, Spidey's strength is countered by Cap's higher level of durability.

Ok , before we explore the speed issue..What do you think about the difference in strength ? You are aware that Spidey won't be holding back..Class 20 punches with his speed ( that I think is being downplayed here) that combo would be too much for Cap to overcome...Remember Cap doesn't have his shield to block..

Is that why most are ineffective in actual combat situations?

Spidey's class ten again. Thank OMD.

And Cap's taken higher than class twenty before.

The strength difference is indeed significant, but even with Spidey's slight edge in speed it's not going to be enough to guarantee a win. See Cap's HUGE skill advantage combined with comparable speed means that Spidey's going to have the same difficulty getting in shots that he ALWAYS has in this situation. Even if they get in an equal number of shots, Cap's natural durability combined with his armor has repeatedly been shown as being capable of standing up to multiple punches from people on Peter's level(and above). On the other hand, Spidey has ZERO showings that attribute him with a resistance to pressure point strikes(and several which show a clear vulnerability to them) which means Cap will actually be able to put down Spidey with fewer hits than vice versa.

I'm not positive, but I think Face may be taking me up on my challenge to a Cap vs Spidey h2h Battlezone match.

Are you wanting an actual Battlezone match? If so, we can just wait until tomorrow to make the thread and give you some time to go scan hunting. If you're really not that familiar with Spidey you should probably take me up on that offer because I'm already sitting on over 4,000 scans for Cap's updated respect thread.

Cap can't trick Spiderman's Spidersense in a 1 on 1 H2H fight. I can't believe how many people on here who think he can
