Captain America vs. Achilles (Troy)

Started by KingD195 pages

A lightsaber's weight is entirely the handle. The blade itself weighs literally nothing.

And while wooden swords are lighter in comparison to real swords, they are still decently heavy enough that they hurt like hell when you get hit. Those swords could still break bone.

Fighting with a sword is pretty much nothing like fighting with a knife.

The sword Achilles used weigh like 2 lbs or slightly less. There isn't much of a weight difference between a lightsaber and a bronze sword.

A single handed bronze sword weighs less than 2 lbs, close to 1 pound probably. A wooden sword would weigh less than 1 pound unless its made of some ridiculously heavy wood (which would make it unsuitable as a practice weapon). So honestly, the difference between a lightsaber and a wooden sword would be measured in ounces, and that's not enough to set achilles off balance.

Face it, Achilles just has that much more skill than cap when it comes to swords.

Well said.

Why not give Cap his shield and Achilles the weaponry he actually used (So spear and xiphos)?

Because Cap would throw the shield which would go through Achilles's weapons then his skull.

Considering that never happened to anyone way under Achilles league, I doubt it, and to add he would duck. Ach has a battle sense and knew what was happening at all times, even behind him before it happened.

Because a vibranium shield would wreck the shit out of a bronze sword and a wooden spear/shield.

Cap severed an aliens arm with his shield. Anyway, Achilles has human level durability, and a shield throw > that.

Do you seriously doubt he lacks the strength, combined with the shields unique properties, to decapitate Achilles?

Achilles would probably try to block a shield throw with his own shield.

Achilles with ease.

Which is more demonstrative of their actual abilities rather than this farce of a thread which asks Cap to take a dagger and beat someone with a laser longsword, lol.

Just make Achilles' weapons also vibranium and it would be good.

Achilles isn't stupid, he ducks. And OP says no shield, did you read it?

Cap doesn't know how to use a sword, much less a lightsaber, so he kills himself.

Oh wait, you said Cap dies here. And Cap has no shield per OP.

I know. I just dont see why shield talk is that important since its not in the fight. But if we wanna talk about it, he ducks like he ducked from other people throwing spears at him. Its common sense to dodge or duck when you don't wanna get hit. I kinda saw from the movie, Achilles prefers to evade all incoming attacks.

Anyway... Cap loses in a sword fight. Achilles loses in h2h.

Yup

If you knew why I was talking about the shield, why did you ask if I read the OP?

Except all the times that he blocked stuff with his shield.

Bucky was a master assassin who was clearly just as skilled with his blade as Achilles is with his sword.
