Cross Genre Match #19: Classic Doctor Strange vs Dark Schneider

Started by "Id"2 pages

As far as destructive capabilities go, in his fight with Uriel, an entire dimension was destroyed via collateral damage. This of course was Majin DS w/L01.

Not that it matters, but that has to be one the longest, and detailed action sequence I’ve ever read in a manga.

How do you think the fight goes down?

An unquantifiable feat. Not to mention that the same battle caused virtually no damage to the second battlefield, the Earth.

I'm placing my money on Dr. Strange for obvious reasons.

Not to mention that dimension busting feat was hardly the size of a real universe.
Dr Strange took the powers from Infinity and Eternity. He should be quite capable of depowering DS

Where the **** are the Anime/Manga fanboys? sneer

Good question.

It's not obvious at all, since nobody has posted anything to support anything.

Seriously. People need to step up. On both sides.

Yea, for a matchup that had been heavily voted on in several nominations, I would hope for a little more.

Though I admit I kinda expected this- two magic users from two different settings where magic works quite differently? A lot depends on how their magic interacts.

I'd debate but my heavy metal days are behind me now 😄

Generally I don’t like arguing comic/manga battles on comic forums, because comic fans tend to be more strict on manga. And really the set up of this match favors Dr. Strange in every scenario.

I don't what's so unfair about scenario one. Neutral ground, no prep, only standard gear.

This is one of those situations where I wish *gasp* Tricksterpriest was still around.

Apparently I'm something of a pale substitute to him. 😛

True, you're not nearly as much of a spaz or anime fanboy to pass for Trickster.

Do you celebrate Hanukkah?

Lol Tricks was crazy. He took one of my jokes seriously and went off. I think it's in my profile.

People seem to have gotten the idea when it comes to voting. You're not suppose to vote for a match you're unable to argue in. Don't vote in expectation of that others will do the debating because it will end up like this.

This is why the entire veto concept doesn't work. Because there will always be a few people who think that a certain type of battle is overdone even though it's good, just to get something else.

Bastard!! isn't that popular of a manga in Japan (considering the volumes released and the rate of the release) and it's even less popular in the west. In fact, Viz manga stopped translating it due to the lack of sales.

The manga itself is an inconsistent piece of garbage (see my review) so it's rather difficult to establish the level of the characters in said work. I.e. first it was established that the seraphim were faster than light, five volumes later it was established that the most powerful form a seraph could attain made him able to get close to the speed of light.

So it's rather difficult to scale them using comic characters.

heh. and people wondered why I quelled the joint anime/comic vs. forum idea back in my tenure as head mod in this forum. It's almost always like this with direct comparisons.

No, that's not what I meant.

While comics can be inconsistent, there are certain generalizing factors. Most comic readers know when a certain character accomplishes something impressive and vice versa.

"Oh, Spider-man actually managed to hold up that bridge with nothing but web and strength?"

"No! Flash should be faster than to be hit by Deathstroke!"

And single author written stories are generally consistent.

Bastard!! is one of the few exceptions to that. In one chapter you have minion demons traveling light-years in days (or less) going millions of times faster than light, four volumes later you have the most powerful characters not being able to reach lightspeed.
