Mitsurugi vs. Link

After getting owned by Darth Vader, Mitsurugi flees to a village in shame. Link sees this depressed samurai and tries cheering him up. He suggests that they should do a sword fight. Unfortunatley Link doesn't have his Master Sword and Shield since they were destroyed when trying to prevent Nightmare from unleashing his evil across the lands. Mitsurugi hands Link his extra samurai sword (he has the extra just in case his first one got destroyed). The two are in an arena and begin to fight.

This is not a fight to the death. Just a friendly sword fight (although there will be cuts and bruises). No, Link does not have his bombs, arrows and magic so don't even try adding them in here.

Who will win?

😂 I wuldn't exactly be ashamed to fall by the hands of Vader. I'd be damn proud to have survived.

Pure sword skills? Mitsurugi is more talented with the sword I dare say.

there is no shame in losing to Vader but the pride the fact that you even manage to escape his grip.

How would Link's mastersword get destroyed? Lol. How about he left it at home? 😛

Anyway, what feats does Mitsurugi have?

Edit: without a damn good strength feat he's not breaking Link's skin with the sword. o.o

You didn't even bother reading the description. Man you're quick at jumping the gun.

Even if Link was resistant to blades the match isn't to the death. Simply beating your opponent and getting them in a death position would give you the win.

I did, he said there'd be cuts and bruises... How do you cut or bruise someone someone durable without strength?

Edit: @ Wei, K, how's he going to get Link into a death position?

It's a swordfight. Not a deathmatch.

I know. You didn't understand what I was saying. I never said they were going to kill each other, I'm saying you can bang something made of steel with a wooden stick for awhile and you're not winning. o.o

Why are you even bothering arguing a point irrelevant to the fight?

Thats not the point, all Mits has to do is get Link into a position that would kill him if he was made out of paper, like a sword to the throat or have link disarmed, etc etc

It's not irrelevant, you're assuming it's a scored match. Points for a touch? He never said that, he did say there'd be cuts and bruises, and that it was a friendly match. You can't make someone surrender of concede if you can't hurt them at all.

If it's a match with points for a touch, then I'll restructure my argument.

That post is not worthy my facepalm patrol.

You're assuming the fight is structured. Tell me when he said anythign more than it's not a death match? How will he get Link into a death position? Unless he's strong he can't even make Link life his chin. o_O

You can parry someone trip them and point your sword to their throat and be declared the winner. What durability feats does Link have against piercing damage? Getting shot out of a cannon or getting hit by Ganon doesn't count. Mitsurugi's armor is durable enough to tank right through musket fire and he even blocks a bullet coming towards his face

I guess I should've said that there will probably be cuts and bruises.

Doesn't take strength to parry or counter or simply dodge and raise the blade to their throats.

Peircing damage? All that means is PSI over a small area. Basic physics.

How will he trip Link without sufficient strength?

He states it's a friendly sword fight and it's done to cheer Mitsurugi up. It's not supposed to be about one forcing the other to submission, defeat or death. It's about besting them in swordsmanship. That's what a swordfight is.
