How so? Every thing I said is right on the money. Wolverine is standing perfectly still and gets stabbed... you feel inclinded to argue against more then 35 years of Wolverine comic appearances.
Seriously, Wolverine is just standing there. Perfectly still. He isn't surprised. He isn't angry. In responce to getting stabbed he says "Ouchie" and cailmly walks down the sword. What part of that scenario gives you the impression that Blade got through Wolverine's guard? What part of that scenario gives you the impression that Blade is faster than Wolverine? Either Wolverine let Blade stab him - like he often does and is totally inline with how Wolverine is written - or Blade speed blitzed Wolverine... only to lose his significant speed advatange only seconds later. Considering Blade doesn't have a single high speed feat that puts him on the same level as Wolverine, and Blade somehow becoming much slower only seconds later, seems like a hard pill to swallow... then again you seem like you are willing to swallow a lot where Blade is concerned.

heres and equivalanet of what youre doing:
blade enters the fight reluctantly especially since he hasnt had blood in motnhs and isnt feeling his best. Blade isnt even worried about wolverine in the slightest, and makes jokes about the way he dresses. wolverine unsheathes his claws and blade speed blitzes him before wolverine can move. wolverine makes a slice for blade but blade rolls away and it only clips him. WOlverine tries to punch blade but blade rols with the hit and jumps bac kand shoots wolverine who is hurt and attacks in a blind fury precisely as blade wanted him to do. Blade hits him one more time to get him angry enough t ocome closer, and before wolverine can strike blade he pulls out his vampie fluid to turn wolverine at which point he couldve easily beaten blade i na nmber of ways, one of them being the silver bullets inside wolverine already weakening him.
You want to tell me where you came up with Blade not having blood in months? If I remember correctly he had a whole fridge full of blood when the feds came and tried to bust him only an issue or two earlier? Does it say anywhere in the story that he hasn't had blood in months? Or where it says Blade "isn't feeling his best?"
lol
... and that is exactly what you have been saying the entire debate. Only difference between my "interpretation" and yours is mine is based on an in-depth knowledge of Wolverine's history; yours is based on nothing. For your walk through of the fight to be even remotely accurate - we need to ignore and disregard large amount of Wolverine's history and feats and make assumptions about Blade that have never been proven true on panel.
I said Wolverine let Blade stab him. This comment is based on several facts. One: Wolverine lets people stab him all the time - so we have a precedent. Two: Wolverine made no effort to avoid the blow and isn't the slightest bit surprised or concerned.
You said Blade is too fast and too skilled and he stabbed Wolverine with out Wolverine being able to react. This comment is based on nothing. Nothing on panel suggest this is what happened. Nothing in the intire career's of either character suggest that this even cable of happening. Blade doesn't have speed feats that put him on the same level of speed as Wolverine. FACT. Blade doesn't have skill feats that put him on the same level of skill as Wolverine. FACT. Dispite all this, you are more than comfortable with taking a massive leap of faith and assume that for some reason Guggenhiem (a writer with a considerable amount of knowledge of both Blade and Wolverine) decided to contradict every that came before?
I said Blade might not have even hit Wolverine after they grappled. Which is true. Blade threw a punch. Did it connect? Who knows, usually we get a sound effect that lets us know if the attack landed or if the opponent managed to avoid it. There is no sound effect so it is hard to gauge. What we do know is that Blade threw a punch... and immediately after Wolverine had him by the neck, pinned to the ground. If Blade's punch did infact hit Wolverine then he would have had to roll with it get under Blade's guard so quickly. My comment was based off of what was on panel, you comment was - once again - based on nothing.
You said... I'm not sure... something stupid about Blade rolling with everything.
You want Blade to win. I know it. We all know it. You speed pages of this thread with ambigous "durability" feats, trying to prove he was more durable than Captain America, and decided that a moment of silence ment Captain America was unconcious. Seriously, we all get that you like Blade, but you are being ridiculous.
