I must be missing something, the same Spiderman but *with* his armor that had stealth and everything else with it. Is there something I'm not seeing here? Don't get me started on the HF...
Spiderman has "skill", he's been doing this for decades, so he knows how to use his own body better than anyone else does. Coupled with a massive cardiovascular advantage. I'm not sure people understand how MA "skill" works, so let me elaborate.
In terms of raw speed, I'm the fastest person in my martial arts class, the strongest too. I have unequaled speed, especially when I accelerate. Now a more experienced member might be able to emulate speed in certain techniques because he's been doing them longer, but he still *isn't* faster than me. Martial arts "skill" does NOT grant you a massive speed boost. Now when I got better my reaction time got better and my moves I practiced got better, but I also did other things to improve my speed l ike running with 100+ lbs on me. So when I explode I get a huge speed boost. Kinda like having superhuman strength in a light body.
I'm tired of hearing people misuse "skill" like it's magic or a lantern ring on the forum. Skill doesn't give you a HUGE boost in abilities. Spiderman vs Classic Iron Man would be like that, Iron Man is much faster than Spidermani n movement, but not straight up close with reflexes because of his suit (extremis is another matter entirely). That upclose advantage ain't doing a whole lot because Iron Man isn't dumb enough to fight upclose and even then...
Skill is what you do, Spiderman has been dodging and moving for decades from people leagues faster than this. Ock's tentacles, Carnage's Tentacles, etc, can all kill him, but they don't.... hmmm wonder why? They also move much faster than the combatant in this thread. These arguments went from Spiderman is much faster than Wolverine to SPiderman is a bit faster, to Spiderman is the same speed, and now Cap and Wolverine are faster? My goodness. So, the Spiderman has no skill argument doesn't really fly as he has his own unorthodox style. Could training help him? Yes, but it would help him tactically he wouldn't have a need to do them the same way more human based characters would. Fighting is primarily about survival, which Spiderman is good at right off the bat.
And Spiderman fights at his *best* on this thread, not as a "silly goofball who just had his first fight" he's serious. With the stealth advantage (the armour doesn't have a distinct scent that's easy to trace) he'd have the edge with webbing and all, unless there's a crazy stip I don't see. Then again Wolverine vs Gamora is ridiculously long when it shouldn't have lasted a page. 😬
