Maximus vs Achilles

Started by Rogue Jedi8 pages

See? Calm.

Covered that three times now. I'm not calm and you got me, good job.

See: Whatever, dude.

You really didn't seem calm.

That's the fourth attempt with the "calm down" troll-maneuver, shooting for half a dozen are we?

Just making an observation, dude. And I'm not trolling. I tell you to "calm down" all over the forum and you never were butt-hurt about it, now all of a sudden?

Ding! #5. Just need one more and you got your half dozen, bro. GO FOR IT!

PS Adding "butt-hurt" was clever, a double-whammy.

Sure, Rob. You insult me, and when I shrug it off and tell you to calm down, I'm trolling. This is my "Whatever dude" moment.

I love it how when I retaliate back I'm always the bad guy, whereas the person who drew First Blood (see what I did there?) is squeaky clean.

k.

To stay on-topic (cause it's fun!), I still haven't seen anything that puts Maximus' skill above Achilles'.

Now you guys shut up and start talking about the stuff that's important, dammit.

I never questioned his skill. I am saying that Maximus is faster and has more damage soak.

Based on what? Have you measured their speed empirically? Or are you just going on 'he looks faster to me'? Cuz he sure as shit doesn't to me. Achilles has the superior skill and he's a good deal stronger than Maximus. He'd take this easily imo. Hector would be more in Maximus' range.

Because there really isn't, jack-hole.

In Troy, there's not one fight scene that's as fast as when Maximus fought Tigris.

In Troy, Achilles shows far less damage soak.

Got proof of that? Last I checked Achilles was the one blitzing people, not Maximus.

Do you really think that will make the slightest bit of difference? Achilles isn't a clumsy moron like Emperor Sillypants. Any cut he makes will only increase the gap between the two fighters, something Maximus absolutely cannot afford when he's already the lesser fighter, and any significant wound will allow Achilles to automatically win. All he has to do is play keep away and wait for him to bleed out.

I'm talking about the speed at which Maximus and dude clashed swords. Not to mention the tigers.

Fighting with a punctured lung is impressive, dude. Why you ignoring that?

The speed the clashed swords? 😬 And I supposed you actually timed this rather than just going 'daw, thasts faster!'? Come back with some real evidence next time.

Because if Maximus gets his lung punctured against Achilles he's ****ing toast.

It was non stop pretty much. Maximus showed greater reaction speed in that fight than Achilles did in any of his 1 on 1 fight/s. Tell ya what, babe, post a vid of Achilles fighting someone 1 on 1 with superior reaction speed.

How you figure that? He already showed that he can hack it. Hole in the lung? **** it, still gonna fight.

Well, I see "superior reaction speed" being thrown around but no actual measures. We can makes comparative claims without comparative measures. Otherwise, it's just one person saying one thing and the other another.

Edit - Nephthys, the burden to prove that Achilles is faster is just as much on us as it is RJ. I don't feel like doing as I'm not that interested in pwning. But what if RJ DOES do a frame by frame with a blade speed measure? Will you do the same? lol This could get interesting.

No good vids online of Gladiator.
