Nameless vs. Li Mu Bai

vs.

Both are accomplished martial arts masters. Both will be fighting with their swords as seen in the movies (Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, respectively).

The setting is a simple field.

Who would win?

I'd assume Li Mu Bai, though I can't exactly put my finger on why.

Good fight. I'll say this goes to Nameless, though. Li Mu Bai was killed by a dart that penetrated his defenses. Nameless was able to block thousands of arrows shot at him.

Also, didn't Nameless kinda "block" those thousand arrows with his body? Resulting in his death?

That was at the end, when he allowed them to hit him. He proved he could easily block them when he was at the calligraphy house. Both he and Snow were blocking the arrows.

Yeah, but that were fewer arrows, shot from far away. Don't you think blocking the needles is a much larger feat when it comes to reflexes?

Not really when it's that many arrows coming at you.

Well, i guess we measure it differently then. I have no doubt though that Li Mu Bai would have been able to perform the same task.

I'm not saying he can't, but in my opinion, I don't think he could have. But, there's no way for either of us to know for sure.

Nameless by miles long.

Hero>Crouching Tiger Hidden blah-blah-blah...

Prefer Crouching Tiger myself, but which is the better movie doesn't really make the characters in it more powerful.

I agree. I definitely like Crouching Tiger better.

Nameless still wins.

Li Mu Bai seems like the more accomplished sword-fighter, also, can't the "Green Destiny" cut other weapons into pieces?

Li Mu has the upper hand, he wins more times than not.

All those arrows weren't aimed at him though, they were just being fired into the house. All the darts were aimed at Li Mu Bai.

When it's enough to cover every part of his body, does it really matter?

The point was, Li's countering of the darts was more impressive, not that the other wasn't at all.

In my opinion, Nameless' feat was more impressive.

Well sure, in your opinion, but when you look at it objectively, the other guy blocked a multitude of tiny darts, shot directly at him from a very close distance. So no.

How am I not being objective? I like Crouching Tiger far better than Hero and actually like Li Mu Bai better than Nameless. I just think Nameless' feat is more impressive, so don't talk to me like I'm wrong.
