Riddick Vs Achilles

To reiterate my conclusion of Riddick's win;

Riddick would stomp Achilles with his knives.

Achilles downed no more than twelve ancient warriors in the director's cut while storming the Trojan Beach, Riddick downed twenty futuristic, well-armed, inhumanly strong Necromongers in a heartbeat. And they had ranged weapons. Riddick went toe to toe with alien killing machines and won.

Riddick.

Is that 20 necromonger's in a heart beat quote from the movie? I don't remember it.

That was the Boss' right hand man who said that. Expressing his paranoia, having observed Riddick's abilities.

Deciding this fight on who killed more fodder than the other in a short burst of time doesn't sit well worth me.

Necromongers weren't all that impressive to me. The Thermal-scouts were easily oursmarted and the footsoldiers only threat was the fact that they had wide burst pulse weapons. Their generals and elite warriors on the other hand showed intelligence.

The Trojan soldiers on the other hand seemed to fight with all they were worth in broad daylight.

I have two points.-

1- Riddick fought a bunch of soldiers in the dark. Advantage Riddick.
2- Riddick had help fighting a group on a hostile environment. Advantage Riddick.

His best feat was taking on the aliens in Pitch Black. And the disputed energy burst feat from the Escape from Butchers Bay game.
Those feats should give Riddick the win.

I was just more impressed with Achille's skills in Troy.
Simply because Riddick's most impressive feats where done off screen.

Didn't Riddick do a pulse chest burst against all the Necros on Crematoria?

I remember him being hit by a pulse cannon.

Achilles wins.

Yeah I'm rooting for Achilles.
The line is tight and one could argue that Achilles can't pull off what Riddick did. But in the end in such a fight I see Achilles taking this.
Especially if Riddick is armed with a blade and goggles.
And Achilles is armed with sword, shield and spear.

Riddick got hit by one of the Necro Gravity Guns. And when he got surrounded, he used "The Wrath of the Furyan" and killed everyone around him except Vaago I believe.

Riddick has better feats, and is probably more impressive physical wise. Yet I have a hard time imagining he can beat Achilles in a one on one fair fight in a well lit arena. Riddick excelled in using his environments against his opponents but I don't recall him going up against skilled opponents in a controlled environment.

Come to think of it, I have a hard time finding any human movie character capable of beating Achilles in a sword fight (or bladed fight). Such was his display of skill. To beat him, I'd have to go up to someone like Prince Nuada's class.

It took a guy with super strength and legit superhuman speed to beat Riddick. And even then, he adapted to the point where he could "see" Lord Marshal's soul as it moved, which is incredible.

I'm going with Riddick on this. He has the more impressive feats and is clearly superhuman, while the best feat for Achilles was the spear throw.

Riddick was being dominated and played with. Riddick was outclassed and lucky someone was planning to overthrow him. Riddick won through McClanery.

I never said Riddick won on his own. But he did adapt to the point(eventually) where he could anticipate Marshal's speed. And his durability/endurance is a lot higher than Achilles.

If Achilles had been in the same fight, he'd have died rather quickly. As it was Riddick's Furyan heritage that allowed him to survive a beating that no one else would have.

I guess you can't argue for your own side without insulting the other. You're such a troll. 😎

The Furyan energy given to Riddick, his eventual speed, and his overall damage absorption/resilience lead me to believe he wins the day.

I will say this though: Achilles, even in the film, literally only became vulnerable once he was hit in the heel. I'll throw that out there for anyone who wants to play with it.

On the same token, Riddick only became vulnerable once he went up against a guy who could move at superspeed and had multi-ton strength as well as the ability to speed up his perception of time.

You really think it's speculation Achilles would die? Did you see the fight between Riddick and Lord Marshal? Anyone who says Achilles would win is clearly a fanboy. Riddick's durability allowed him to stay in the fight long enough to win with outside help. Achilles probably wouldn't survive any of those blows, since he never showed enhanced durability or strength like Riddick, whose entire race is stated and shown to be much more powerful than a regular human.
