They both break their swords on each other. This is a tossup Imo. Supes has never even picked up a sword to my knowledge so he is at a serious disadvantage but his speed should allow him to do basic parries and blocks and slashes fast enough to stay in the fight for awhile.
Both also have insane damage soak so it's gonna take a full decapitation to put either one down. Thor's skill with melee weapons should guarantee him the victory though.

Like I said, to my knowledge. Just curious, but for what reason did Supes need to use a sword?
I honestly feel like a weapon puts Clark at a disadvantage and would slow him down. Thor always has a melee weapon. It's his thing. If this was just regular Supes vs. Thor with a sword I would give Superman the win but since he's now forced to use a sword I see him doing worse with it.
What would happen if guys of this strength level actually swung a normal steel sword as hard as they could? It would probably melt or bend or something right?

Superman isn't hulk who does not knows how to fight at all. He has been trained and knows how to wield a sword.
Probably yes. I don't think the thread meant ordinary swords though.

Yeah, he's fought with swords while depowered, with the sword of Superman, and on a few other occasions. Usually just to prove that he can, lol.
Nah, Superman can use weapons. He's not a master like Thor, Batman or Wonder Woman, but he's strong enough, and fast enough to make up for it.
Anyways, yeah. The swords would break on Superman and Thor, and then Superman would trash him in a brawl.
Superman would win regardless, unless speed was equalized and the swords could cut them both.

Is this thread about who is more skilled with swords? I mean, Thor would clearly win a sword fight.
Quite simply, Thor has superior skill with handheld weapons. I hope no one will try to argue that Kal has greater weapon skills than Thor.
Additionally, unless the swords are somewhat ‘special,’ they will shatter against both combatants. Like fighting with single strands of sphaghetti.
Finally, unless Speed is equalized, Kal will defeat with Odinson sword or no sword.

^^^oh well, thats the end of this discussion.When street level characters can no longer stab speedsters with their swords, maybe.
Those SL characters either had (i) PIS or (ii) there were certain prevailing considerations at play that were unique to that particular situation (eg a set of explosives that only left one way forward ...onto the tip of a sword), situations that would not be present in a Thor vs Superman fight.
Main point I was making though remains the same - (i) Thor has easily superlative skill with weapons compared to Superman; (ii) the swords would have to be special to not fail against either character; and (iii) speed is equalized.
If speed is not equalized, Superman uses simple velocity to win.
If speed is equalized, Thor uses simple skill advantage to win.
Agree to disagree.
You can argue p/cis all day, but those feats (where speed definitely dies NOT kill) are canon.
Add to that the fact that Supes is not even a speedster (a character that consistently moves at SS as its his main power) but instead a character with super speed, who consistently fights in non SS mode.
I originally posted that if this thread took off, Supes would be KK level within 2 pages. I was mistaken.
Instead posters are trying to give him the (undeserved) win via him suddenly being FlaSuperman.
So, like i said, agree to disagree.
