True, but it is "his" sword. I assume that was what the thread starter meant.

Also, it is a fact that Li Mu Bai is cooler.

And Chow a better actor.

Are you implying that she did something special to cut through other weapons and it's not just that the sword is capable of such a feat?

Nope, I didn't imply that at all.

Those are your words.

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.

Arrows that were still coming fast enough to pierce the building they were aimed at. How much thinking was there? There were a barrage of arrows coming at him since before he opened the door. With them constantly coming, all he could do was rely on skill and reaction time.

Li Mu Bai can run on trees and shit.

Li Mu Bai ftw

I'm with Li Mu Bai's people here.

The people who claim Namless's arrow-blocking was more inpressive than deflecting dozens of tiny darts shot directly at him (and the fact that it was from only a meter or so away means they weren't losing any velocity) are being willfully ignorant.

Indeed, and the darts are a lot smaller than arrows, arent they?

No doubt.

Nameless can run across water. And also spring back up from it by gently dipping his sword into the water.

Also he deflected a single water drop aimed at his head.

I did not know that.

It doesn't change the fact that Mu Bai's precision with a sword is undoubtedly superior.

I need to youtube this. I am with Strangles now, but I need to see nameless in action.

Okay, then Bai has an extreme advantage in weapons then, another reason why he would win, more often than not.

Edit: Why did you question it then, the sword being able to cut through other weapons?

I honestly believe this would be better hand to hand.

Again your words. I didn't question that.

I said are you sure he has the sword? OP said they have the swords they used in the movie and I said that throughout most the movie Zhang Ziyi's character used the Green Destiny.

whats the name of nameless's fighting style?

YouTube video

Quite a cool scene where he fights Donnie Yen's character, one of the three assassins Nameless was supposed to kill for the Emperor.

I dunno.

I'm gonna have to go with Mu Bai.

Jet Li himself practices wushu, but I think that's solely a hand-to-hand form of combat.

I'm not sure.
