Niall Brigant (True Blood) vs. Count Dooku (movies only)

Originally posted by Sacred 117
As established, there are some forms of blast he cannot block, but he could still attempt to dodge. Accuracy is not being called into question; lethality is. It won't matter if Dooku is hit by the blasts if they haven't the offensive power to kill him. That's what needs to be determined.

Temporarily, and F. Lighting can is potentially lethal. I'm still curious as to how light blasts compare. Could you help me with that?

We have never seen force lightning kill anyone on its own. Niall has a supernova blast described as hotter than the sun. I wouldn't go that far since I'm not a hyperbole worshipping Zelda fanatic.

If he is ko'd or left vulnerable then yes he loses. Not every punch has to kill a man to win a fight.

Gotcha. I was wondering for that reason if this was a fight to the death. I remain undecided.

I agree with you there. I don't buy that "being described as that makes it that" bullshit.

Do you hold the same stance with regards to hyperbole in a Zelda game ?

I don't buy hyperbole PERIOD. Though I'm not sure what's been hyperboled in terms of Zelda, or to what extent.

"We can channel our light into a single ball of energy that, when released, will go supernova, killing any vampire it touches."

I don't want to go off-topic, but to elaborate, I'm referring to cases of inconsistent backing, such as Coldcast hitting Superman with "the force of 15 supernovas". If that were the case, shouldn't it have destroyed the moon and everything around it?! But... that's fiction-based physics for you.

Sacred beast, evil's bane, etc.

I'm not sure how any of that's hyperbole.

If a claim can be proved, and the evidence backs it up, it is not hyperbole.

In this case nothing said the light orb explodes with a supernova, so its not.

I agree. That doesn't really mean much. We see Gladiator destroy a planet but many characters take his punches with their bodies in tact.

The same goes for Akuma breaking islands but failing to one-shot street level characters. Probably the worst case of overestimation I've seen yet.

Dear lord.

People will argue like that counts as those adjectives carry weight in a debate. It is just hyperbole.

As claims alone, they're meaningless, but if substantially backed, they can then legitimately carry weight.

It depends but anything backed up is another story. Just because Link kills Ganondorf with the Master Seord doesn't mean it would kill Mephisto from Marvel comics.

That would depend on Mephisto's weaknesses and such. Thorough, complete cross-examination would be needed to determine things such as that.

Based on what the Master Sword is and what Mephisto is, and what he's been hurt by in the past, it would definitely hurt him.

Hyperbole.
