Sure it does, sparky.
Afraid not.
So what he punches street fighter opponents who aren't as durable as islands yet they don't even lose their heads so it doesn't add up. You don't need a calculator to figure that out. Maybe you do though. Laughs.
You are aware that Akuma almost always holds back in fights, right?
And prove that those he punches seriously are not as durable as islands. Considering at least one has survived nuke bombardments, and Gouken survived the Hadoken barrage that leveled a mountain range (As did Akuma).
It doesn't add up unless you think every street fighter characters is more durable than an island. Please say yes.
I wasn't aware that every Street Fighter character has fought Akuma at all, let alone fought a serious Akuma.
I have posted Kurt Busiek's answer on his own message board explaining how most artists and writers just draw something big and epic while not factoring in a weight. He also laughed at fans using Spiderman's highest feats as his standard. He laughs at people like you. So do I.
Akuma's feats are entirely consistent (I am using the Akuma example because it fits so well and you have argued against him in the past).
Also, why should I give a **** about what Kurt Busiek says? Or about what comic writers/artists do? I am speaking of fiction on a whole, not comic books.
Again, it doesn't add up. Just like in Immortals Poseidon's feat meant crap when he engaged the Titans.
Citing badly-written movies doesn't help your case. And yes, make no mistakes, Immortals is a badly written movie, in the same vein that many Hollywood blockbusters are.
Post proof some writers do. You can't. It doesn't add up either way. This should be common sense, boy.
Superman and Wonder Woman are often shown to be faster than light. In a fight they went from the Earth to the sun in, oh, I think a little over a minute. That's faster than light. For an example you may be aware of.
You are aware that your argument really only works in terms of comics, right? I mean, I will admit to using it when discussing Superman vs. Superboy Prime, on who is stronger. Despite Superman's few really high level feats, that doesn't change the fact that Superboy Prime is consistently portrayed as much more powerful when they come to blows.
In a battle between two separates series though, the "portrayal" argument doesn't work. There are fictions where a mook in one series could beat the shit out of the strongest character in another. That's why feats are used.
Also, you don't appear to know what "common sense" means. Common sense dictates that a character who can punch apart landmasses could easily beat a character who can't output nearly as much power.
Quit crying. You started something I ended it. I'm your superior in every way.
You should probably start showing it then.
I will admit that my comments which provoked this silly charade were unnecessary and I apologise for them, but at this point I am only attempting to educate you and show you my point of view on how versus battles must be carried out, perhaps you should do the same, rather than continue down a futile flamewar, hm?
