like danny calling cap's technique basic 40 years ago? 👆

Exactly.
It has to be backed up by what we see in story. Or dont see, in Cap's case, which is a lifetime of MA training. 👆

Boxing. Judo. Gymnastics.
This is what Cap was taught before being sent into battle in WWII. He's fused this into his own unique fighting style incorporating his shield.
Its basic.
But it works for him, because his greater than himan stats make it devastatingly effective.

That may be true, but doesn't make much sense when you consider Shangs been literally training all his life, while Cap spent a good amount of time on ice.

Anyways, when they sparred last, Cap made mention of suffering broken bones..

Yeah but din't forget, he's also got enhanced brain functions because of the serium. He doesn't need to study for years and years. In fact it's also been specifically noted by Kang that when he was training for zero grav combat that he was intuitively learning techniques in either hours or days(I honestly can't remember which) that it took others years to master.

and beast backed that up saying he masters any weapon in seconds, and bp admitted he adapts to any fighting style immediately.

this is because he didn't have a life time of training? lol what the hell does THAT matter. the only thing that matters is what takes place on panel. the ONLY person i ever saw purely 'out skill' cap was moondragon and that was when weak was suffering from the serum going wrong and was a complete feeb. LOVE to see a scan supporting the idea that these guys are more skilled than he is. been waiting now for 3 pages and still haven't seen anything--at least nothing remotely close to supporting some of the stances i've seen. unlike a few people here, i'm open to having my mind changed--i just need to see proof. i've shown some defending my stance--waiting for the other side.

Plus Moondragon's a bad ass martial artist herself, she went through the exact same kind of training that Mantis did. The difference is that Mantis was only really portrayed as an empath until GoG so her skill was featured a lot, while Moondragon's been shown as a high level telepath/telekinetic since her debut so throwing a bunch of punches and kicks in the "boss battles" didn't really make a lot of sense. People say she hasn't done much other than beating Mantis, but a lack of feats isn't the same as low feats. I think Moondragon's worst showing was her losing to Daredevil in one of her earliest(if not her outright first) appearances.

C'mon, this is much worse than her losing to DD:

I don't like bald chicks but I gotta say Moondragon always did something for me.

I didn't say most embarrassing, I said lowest lol. Someone with human level strength being manhandled by the Thing isn't exactly "low".

Besides, how do you know she doesn't like being spanked 😂

Well, that settles it.

Cap is Marvels Superman and Batman combined. 😛

At least in Bats case, holding his own with Val Armorr in zero g combat is clear cut, inarguable PIS.. Though that doeen't stop some from citing that "feat" (Do they also argue Spiderman beating Firelord does not fit the definition of Spiderman vs Firelord" in the rules, I wonder? 😈 )

Same.

And someone with the SS shouldnt be ranked higher than other MA, because SS enhances his physical stats and makes his basic fighting style devastatingly effective.

Again, just one of those agree/disagree situations.
Was a fun conversation though. 👆

It looks better in art than in real life I guess.

T'chaka has straight up defeated Cap.

a much younger, less experienced cap.

According to Taskmaster, Steve was at his best during the war.

Same Steve bitched Extremis Tony, too.

and taskmaster has a point of reference for this how?

Cap was definitely less skilled, undeniably less experienced, and didn't truly grow as a martial artist until after the war.

Taskmasters a jobber. 😛

You can go across Cap and Bat Family history and find plenty of eyebrow raising feats (Just recently after Darkseid War, these metal dog like things were dodging Barry "I see f'n attoseconds" Allen, then Batman punch's one square in the nose. Barry asks "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!??", and Bats smugly says "You need to hit them where they're going to be." 😱
