He beat betsy in x-men 25? Of the current x-men run?
To be honest the fact he a vampire who 400 years old should not make much of a difference. There a vampires much older then that, and I give almost none of them the majority against betsy. If this is true that she beat her I have got to see this. That be pretty dam impressive given her current levels.

A samurai vampire has bad@ss written all over it. I wonder how long before he and Blade cross paths.
The Forgiven have been pretty formidable. They defeated Nul/Hulk and were about to kill Storm's X-men team.

I don't recall. I just skimmed the book at the store but do recall her attemtping to use telepathy but it didn't work. Raizo also had a good reflexes feat as he caught a knife mid-air that was tossed at him by Warpath.
TK big though. She utilizes TK far more often then telepathy, that be surprising if she did not use it.
That pretty impressive reflex feat given that warpath a class 25.

Yeah.... Raizo never beat Psylocke, he simply judo tossed her and the fight cut away to the rest of the X-Men. At best he had a momentary advantage in the natural ebb and flow of the fight.
If Betsy use psy-blades or TK she crushes Raizo effortlessly.

Like I said I skimmed the issue but I did get the idea she was outlcassed and done for when he slammed her. I also got the idea he was just toying with her. She was out of her class physically and skill wise imo. BTW you have scans?
You seem to be jumping to a lot of conclusions based off an issue you only "skimmed"
Out class physically while amping? That is extremely doubtful.
Out class skill wise? Yea that not likely at all. Do you know how skilled psylocke is? Even with out her powers she be a formidable hero and one of the most skilled fighters on the planet..........
No...no, Raizo beat Psyclocke.
Psylocke attempted to break into Raizo's mind and was unable due to his discipline. Raizo admitted with time, Psylocke would be able to overpower his mind though and he proceeds to slam her to the ground and she isn't seen for the rest of the issue. Raizo's statements also give credence to the fact the fight was over. As he slams her to the ground he says "A pleasure speaking with you. It's always pleasure to battle someone with good-manners." and KOs her.
Raizo is probably more skilled that Psylocke, she had to concentrate so much on not getting hit that she couldn't use her powers, and she was still taken out.
Momentary advantages in the issue were when warpath was knocked across the room, then resumed fighting or Storm punching Nighteyes in the face.
When Jubilee intervenes everyone is shown to stop fighting and Raizo walked over to Jubilee, Psylocke no where in sight.
