KMC Olympics: Fencing

Uh yeah Raphael's ending is the canon one. SC3 even supports this when they say Raphael and Siegfried fought and their battle freed Siegfried from Soul Edge while at the same time Raphael was infected and slowly became a vampire. At the end of SC2 Raphael was the actual one to fight Siegfried.

This is from a Soul Calibur Wikia page.

I didn't get a chance to play SC3, so perhaps you are right, but I'd like to see something besides a wikia, because it sounds a little....you know...

Raphael held his own against Nightmare despite being of pretty much human attributes. I guess that's something.

This supports what I just said and the wikia verbatim I believe. Raphael fought Nightmare.

Okies, thanks much.

Bollocks, I know. SC wanted Link to win, so he nerfed everyone

Everyone is nerfed. 😛

I will not deny that I'd like to see Link win though. That much is true, but I'm not letting my bias effect the Olympics 😮!

I don't see Raphael at nerfed at all outside he can't bite anyone and turn them, but that's not really a big deal or anything. Out of everyone here, he is the most basic yet advanced at the same time. He doesn't suffer a strength, speed, size, nor durability downgrade.

Human characters with good skill who could nevercompete with the 'high tier' characters are why I included the restriction. 😎 It'd be nice to see Altair for insance, go up against someone in this thread without getting splattered.

YouTube video I remain convinced Link beats Raphael. He outfights Raphael in his own game. It's non-canon, yeah (Link was never actually in SCII by canon, obv.), but the implication is there. 😛

All of the special guests fought Raphael, including Heihachi and Spawn. They fought him because he made it to the castle to fight Nightmare first.

Yeah I know it's noncanon and irrelevant here, I don't know why you keep on bringing it up. It's not really an implication from Namco or anyone on what would happen, it's his story, of course he's going to win since you're playing as him. That's like saying Baek can beat Jin Kazama because he faces off against him in his ending. Everyone tends to win in their story mode in fighting games. Regular Link would win pretty easily, Link under these circumstances doesn't in my opinion.

Alright. Helm splitter?

Dark Khan will materialize a sword from his own RAGE so he'll be able to compete in the fencing portion... and then do what you said. 🙁

RAAAAGGGGEEEE!!!!

😆

....rage?

Kain would have theoretically floored this competition.

Actually, with his total lack of comparable swordsmanship feats to anyone here... No.

few "feats" hence why I said theoretically, he has vaslty more combat/sword use experiance. Although his Censure and Laceration moves would not do bad.

In this thread if you want to talk technical experience, Link would still be the most "experienced", Kain's lived longer overall, but Link's been reincarnated several times and done much more fighting.

I don't know how experienced MK is, you don't see many sword users in Kirby, but Marth and Raphael are both probably more experienced than Kain as well. Vergil is probably a bit less experienced than Kain, but experience isn't everything.

Experience contributes to skill, but it doesn't equate to skill. These characters all have showings of their skill to back their experience, which puts them above someone with more experience, but fewer showings of skill.

Their different people, Kain is ancient, is the general at the front of several battles and uses the same sword all the time. But anyway, Kains not in this thread, I was just saying for the sake of lulz.

Experienced enough to fight Kirby at Mach 1.

The same could be said for Vergil. 😐

Can Vergil beat a Lance user at Mach 1 using a sword?
