At the very least Logan`s training closes the stat gap pretty well.I am not playing that game, just pointing out Cap has put spidey on his ass and Peter has a problem handling skilled martial artists.
Anyway abc logic sucks.
Right, it should be about Batman, not Cap.
Breaking bricks are party tricks with little meaning in a fight. If you have any training you should know that.
Plenty of comic book characters below Karate Kid levelu uses MA efficiently against superhumans. It makes them hable to hang with them even if they do not posess other powers. You cannot bispute that fact. [/B]
Well I agree about the bricks meaning little. Logan's "training" (that he doesn't use often" doesn't bridge the gap, it is his Superman healing ability and skeletal system that carries the weight in his fights.
I have no problem with characters "hanging" with othes. They all "hang" with characters like Hulk, but that doesn't mean they can beat him.

Seriously, have you ever read a comic book fight where the physics of the fight was sound? MA works quite differently in the comics than in the real world.
Hmm, the gravity worked.
And no they aren't "vastly different" they still use pressure point attacks, nerve strickes, grappling, and pressure locks. They do it much better than you or I do, but things like equilibrium still come into play.

You benefit from making the style your own WHEN you have developed solid BASICS. Spidey does not have that.
Basics such as proper stances (spiderman has perfect balance and equilibrium), things such as standing properly (corrected by above), basic application of practical movement? Learning the "basics" doesn't take long, you can drill a person for a few short weeks and they would have the bare basics down enough to survive, but the mastery of those abilities to the point where you can do them without thinking? That takes much, much longer.
Spiderman's body does NOT work and move like an average person therefore his movement doesn't need to mimic those, he just needs brushing up more more tactical type things, not saying he couldn't benefit from training, but seriously someone who has spent DECADES fighting doesn't have any basics? That's absurd.
I could take someone who has had to "survive" off of the streets without training and I could bet you he could beat someone "with MA training" who has had little to no fights, and I'd give it to that guy. Efficiency is where it counts and the better figher is the one who can consistently (or should conssitently) win, regardless of "skill" there are too many styles out there to say which ones are the best, they should flow together.

Well thats an inaccurate comparison then honey. Even basic skills that street-level martial artist do are leagues above what a real world MA can possibly achieve. You should take that outta the equation, someone made a comment earlier about a expert MA in the real world not being able to drop an elephant, yet im sure positive any street coul;d do it with a pressure point attack, i can name 10 off the top of my head. It simply bridges the gap, and in Parkers case eclipses his stats.
Wow, elephant pressure points? I saw what you meant, but these characters STILL have far greater strength and speed than an average person, which accelerates the damage they do.
No, I was the one who made the comment, and I'm well aware about the difference between the human level MA and a Comic one, which is why I used the difference between an elephant and Spiderman, Spiderman could drop an elephant even easier than they could. His ability to drop a Comic MA is much greater than theirs is to drop him, and it does NOT eclipse far greater speed, more durabilitity, far greater strength, and precognition with 120 lb per millimeter tensile strength webbing that none of them can "break" with their strength. It doesn't really eclipse anything, it does allow them to "hang" with him however. If the physical gap was small say Logan's without healing, then I would be more inclined to agree.

True Spiderman has hisd own style but its so basic, that experienced martial artists can easily counter it. I get tired of the "holding" back excuse, its gay. I personally think its a cop-out for him being "superhuman" and not being able to beat Cap, DD, Bullseye, Elektra, Iron Fist etc, etc etc...his style just isnt devastating enough.
I'm sorry, but the basics work best, all of these characeters do "basic" punches and kicks, and realistically the basics work best because they don't create unnecessary movement, a super high spinning kick is a lot more ineffective than a kick to the side of the thigh, and the latter takes less effort.
Holding back excuse? That's what he does, and it's a part of his character. He doesn't really have to go "all out" anyways, and we've seen in a comic what happens when he does to guys like Kingpin (who are accomplished fighers, and even Stark upclose (although Stark would iwn here), not to mention how he performs against higher tiered characers (like Iron Man) CONSISTENTLY when he fights them, we can see the comparison.
Lastly none of these xxx beat xxx arguments are as valid on KMC because this is *not* a comic book, there is no plot device on here and none of the other silly things that get in the way like they do in comics. Put Batman vs Flash in a comic and Batman would drop him each and every time. Put him on here vs Flash and he loses in less time than it takes me to blink. Would that ever happen in a comic? No, not with two big name characters.
And when has he been unable to compete with those characters you mentioned (we are already talking about cap) Scans? Issue numbers?
I was reading the DD fight where he was hypnotized and he admitted he wouldn't be a match if Spiderman went all out, and he admitted the speed difference as well. Which is why I find it hard to trust a lot of members out there now, because many have been guilty in the past of lying, so when I read the issue myself I find a totally different story. So when you get the chance could you post scans and/or issues of the entire fight? I'd appreciate it greatly. But I have to go now.
Take care all, it's been fun.
