Flight seems like a pretty clear violation of the melee rule. Why not just have Bill magically charge up Stormbreaker before he wades into melee as well?Even normal savage Hulk is a legitimate planet buster, and WWH was threatening to destroy the planet just from walking on it. Wolverine has been eating Hulk's best blows for decades. In his fight with Thor, it was explicitly stated that Thor was using his fiercest blows, and Wolverine had a freaking smile on his face. Bill's attacks will be different because why?
If Bill decks Wolverine, Wolverine will get up. If Wolverine opens Bill from his groin to his clavicle he'll go down. Wolverine has a documented history which includes decades worth of evidence of him talking the best shots Marvels top tiers can offer with little effect... and yet Bill apparently can one shot him? Please. Every time this threads come up they involve people completely ignoring Wolverine's entire history and giving the other character the benefit of the doubt based on nothing. What is their to suggest Wolverine will be unable to easily cut up Bill? What is their to suggest that Bill will be able to put Wolverine down easily with melee attacks? Nothing again? But that is apparently the case. Is there anything to suggest that if Wolverine landed a clean attack on Bill, he wouldn't go down? Nope... but lets ignore that because it's inconvenient.
Charging fists/melee weapons with power isn't explicitly against melee tactics, either, unless specifically banned. I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't want Bill to actively use his energy projection/weather manipulation powers as well as throwing Stormbreaker around because then it would be truly spite to the highest degree. Assuming they're allowed, even assuming just Bill being able to fly at a fraction of his highest speed, how does Logan respond to a charge from him?
Thor's "fiercest" blows, as shown through the vast majority of his history are, frankly, beyond Wolverine's ability to handle. Let me know when Logan can tank attacks which stagger Galactus, break through Celestial armor, rock a planet to its very foundation if not destroy it entirely, etc, etc. It was hyperbole and considering the people who Thor has laid out with his attacks, it's incredibly worrisome to believe that Logan's initial durability is greater than what Thor (or Bill) can put out at their very best. I have no doubt Logan can take a few of their garden variety hammer swings, but let's not pretend Logan can indefinitely tank them and is immune to being rendered unconscious, never mind if we take into account on panel instances of their best blows and what they're capable of.
For the record, do you think that Thor/BRB are even capable of knocking Logan out? If so, what would it take?
