He isn't in the same league as Storm Shadow and Snake-eyes, and for some added humiliation Storm Shadow and Snake-eyes both posses the Ear that Sees, an ability comparable to Daredevil's radar sense. They are both essentially Daredevil... if he was better in every possible way.
I know everybody hates the game.
But in the Marvel Nemesis mini series based on the game it started with Logan fighting Elektra and him stating that he hates top level ninjas. She pretty much owned him by throwing daggers into different parts of his body and keeping her distance.
With his HF turned off in this fight he becomes a pin cushion.

That was non-cannon, and even then Elektra said Wolverine was better than she was and the situation was only playing out as it was because he was trying to "save" her, or something.

Meh, she toyed with him, he was arguably holding back... he was still getting tooled.

It was the hub-bub surrounding the game, the game was going to be the introduction for the characters into the 616 verse continuity, the comic was a lead up to that, and then the game tanked... google it.
Okay, but how do you deal with the fact that Elektra apparently said that Logan is better? I never read the comic just going by what Srank said.
Well.. he is... She's able to distract, stall, keep pace with him but it's just a matter of time, he'll eventually land a hit that will end the fight.. which is what he did when their fight resumed later....
In any case she was patronizing Logan so I fail to see how we can take her "admitting" that too seriously.

Better in what way though? Sorry, I don't read Elektra at all - but I mean in an earlier debate you argued that Elektra owning Wolverine back in the 90's was legit - as in - he was completely himself which I was arguing he wasn't. So, if we went by that fight alone without taking it into context, she's completely on another level in terms of skill. The same thing happened in EOTS - but he was brainwashed, taxed, and missing a piece of his soul - same in Nemesis with the whole soul bit. But I did read a bit of the Elektra Wolverine duo that Rucka did and she owned him quiet a bit there didn't she? I dunno if he gets really mad he kills her we both agree on that, but what about in terms of skill. I think if he fights smart and doesn't try and tank damage, it would be a good fight to say the least.
