Nameless vs. Li Mu Bai

I'm sure there is someone out there that thinks a pound of feathers weighs less and a pound of iron, it just isn't so, either. So no.

That's fact. This is opinion. Try again.

Nameless ftw

This is where you are wrong, the dart thingy is more impressive, from a skill and speed standpoint, as fact, of which would translate to the topic of who would win in a fight between the two.

You can think the other looked better, flashier, cooler or what have you, and you're certainly welcome to that opinion, but that doesn't relate to the topic. Unless this is showoff contest and not a duel we're talking about?

The arrow feat was far more impressive IMO. He was deflecting dozens of arrows with one movement. And did you see how many arrows there actually were?

I'd guess in the hundreds if not thousands. They all weren't aimed at him, unlike the darts and the arrows were fired from a very much longer distance, unlike the few meters that the darts were.

That is your opinion. There's no way to accurately compare which one is more impressive. It's like saying someone breaking the world record for the 100 meter dash is more impressive than someone breaking the record for the marathon. There's no right or wrong answer. It's just a matter of what you THINK is more impressive.

Sure you can.

1) The darts were a 20th the size of the arrows
2) The darts were fired directly at the person while the arrows were shot in an arcing pattern
3) The darts were fired from a few meters, while the arrows were fired from several hundred meters.

See, three, count them 1, 2, 3 facts that make one more impressive than the other.

I mean really guys...counting how many arrows or darts were shot...and they say I nitpick.

Oh, and Nameless was cooler than Bai.

1. There were FAR more arrows than there were darts.
2. The arrows came in a constant barrage that lasted a few minutes, not in a few seconds like the darts.
3. While not directly aimed at him, the arrows were still travelling towards every part of his body, from head to foot. They were all blocked.

See how that works.

It's not a matter of 'he blocked 20 while the other guy only blocked 19', it's the matter of skill involved in each specific feat. You do nitpick.

Possible, but that also has no bearing on who would win.

1) There were a lot more arrows

2) The arrows were fired from bows, not a staff. And they weren't losing their velocity, seeing as how they killed almost everyone in that building. They actually pierced the structure.

3) Nameless wasn't hit, Li Mu Bai was. stoned

1) Yes
2) True, they were also shot from far away, giving him much more time to think and counter.
3) See #2

I do, it is far less impressive from a skill and speed standpoint, as fact.

Edit: It did look flashier though, I'll give you that.

Edit: In regards to your edit, when did I say the arrows were fired from a staff and they were slowing? I mentioned they were fired in an arcing pattern, i.e. shot up and angled, not straight ahead. This was due to the distance they needed to cover.

Well, I'll give you the nod because a dart is a smaller than an arrow.

Then again..not to split hairs....

Archers with great skill shot those arrows.

The darts were fired by a highly skilled assassin, I'd also venture she was a better aim than those archers, since they all would have hit their mark if not countered.

That was to me?

I didn't mean you said anything about the staff.

I was pointing out the facts of the feat. The darts came out of the bottom of a staff, whereas trained soldiers drew back their arrows on powerful bows.

Yes, my error.

And the woman who shot the darts was a higly skilled assassin. So not sure what your point is.

But like you said she was only a few metres away. Most people would be able to hit the mark in that case.

If it was one dart thrown, yes. She fired many, and all within a second or two. That's some serious skill.

Also, those arrows weren't directly aimed, they were fired in a volley, as the vast majority would have missed their target.

Anyhow, dart/arrow thing aside, Bai has the "Green Destiny". It would cut through the other weapon like it was butter. Bai would win, unless you think Nameless can kill Bai without a weapon.

Does he? Throughout most of the movie I'm sure it was Zhang Ziyi who had the Green Destiny.
