and again, i never claimed shang chi went 100% on cap. i am repeating my claim again. shang chi while sparring with cap, didnt go 100% but was fighting. he took cap down and he tried to punch him and kick him, no question about that. if cap didnt avoid or blocked that, he would have eaten a kick to the face or a punch.
now, when cap hits him with an elbow, shang chi drops down. that proves less than 100% cap can knock him down with a stike. then, we see shang chi still on the floor and cap is reaching his arm to help shang. to me, thats an indication he needed a hand there as was portrayed. not saying he was knocked out or badly injured, i am not a fool. however, that portray is meant to show us a less than 100% strike from cap is enough to stun shang chi and end the sparring. why didnt shang chi stop the sparring after he took cap down? why was he trying to punch him? you are basically choosing a new argument that shang chi in nature doesnt like to hurt anyone for nothing. however, it has no place in this thread because in this thread we already are discussing a fight (not full power) that shang chi did take part in. so there is no point in bringing his calm nature into a situation where he is already fighting and all sides agree he wasnt fighting 100%. in addition, shang chi didnt want to get hit i can promise you that. nor does his durability drops because its a sparring. therefor, i still believe my initial claim stands. now, i will go with you even further. bringing shang chi's nature, does not mean in some other specific situation he will act the same. you cant know what is going thru his mind in a specific situation , therefor, you cant determine as a fact what was he thinking about during that specific moment, unless the writer tells us. all you can do is assume based on this and that. assumptions, are not a base to determine facts.
