But considering Perseus has the super-strength and god-forged weapon to literally cut apart his opponents weapons/shields here, I'd say it's a factor.

it's only a factor if he's able to cut through or damage his opponent's weapons. If he can't then I still think strength isn't much of a factor unless it's a ridiculously big steength advantage.

It is though. Perseus was blocking the blows of a guy who could easily shatter marble.

I keep reading the title as Greek Herpes.

Could you remind me again who this guy was and in which movie? My memory of clash of the titans is not very good.

I'd like to see if it was outright blocking or if it was more a parry or deflection.

Fight 1: Probably Herc of Perseus. All combatants are highly skilled, so strength is going to be a deciding factor in this match.

Fight 2: Probably Perseus or Achilles.

Ares834 is referring to the god of war Ares from Wrath of the Titans. Perseus was also strong enough to momentarily hold-off a Cyclops in that awful film.

He's also very durable, another factor that factors in a fight

edit: it looks like Ares hits Perseus in the face at 01:34 with a (apparently not god forged, has no glow) sword and besides a yell/grunt of pain, Perseus is for the most part unharmed.

Achilles has no chance here, why would anyone argue for him?

Because Achilles showed more skill than Perseus? And becuase if Perseus isn't invulnerable to getting cut up by a sword, then Achilles actually has a good chance of beating him?

Well hell, let's compare feats.

Now that I think of it, Percy Jackson should be allowed in this thread.

Achilles is a seasoned warrior that has led the attack of countless battles and wars. He has encountered fighting tactics from the greatest of combatants and is unrivaled in his skill. If there is anyone that is capable of avoiding, Perseus' weapon long enough for a death blow, it's Achilles.

Perseus is a great warrior with convictions and abilities that make him formidable but his skill is slight when compared to, Achilles.

OK, but what I said here:

Needs to be addressed.
