The best martial artist in marvel vs the most perfect human ever. Who would win?

I don't think Shang Chi is the best martial artist in marvel...He knows several styles of Kung Fu but his rating is only 6 out of 7 in fighting skills...Captain America though has a rating of 7 out of 7, which means he knows every kind of style there is...that's according to Marvel Encyclopedia.

Shang Chi really OUGHT to win this, because I don't think the guy is given nearly enough Credit..... however, Cap has the advantage of raw strength and speed, not to mention his MIGHTY SHIELD (to which all who oppose must yield...)

Correction...Shang Chi's fighting skill level is 5 out of 7

mastered one form of combat.

That's true...the art of Kung Fu...while Cap mastered all forms...

Cap has his own style, which is a fusion of Judo and something else....

Cap created his own art after mastering all arts...you can't just create an art without the right knowlege of other martial arts...

Well, i really think that shang chi is the best martial artist in marvel universe, even iron fist who is one of the best, said that shang chi was the best one. I know that maybe cap, daredevil or black panther could know more fighting styles, but i think that shang chi is the best one in his own style.

yeah Chi is the best in his own way.

Shang-Chi is a true Kung Fu master...but I doubt Kung Fu itself will beat Captain America.

The battle is very close, because i think that shang chi is a better fighter than cap, but cap is stronger and faster and more durable, and his shield could be the key in the victory.

Where does it say that Shang Chi is a better fighter than Cap? I can't seem to find that anywhere. According to this Marvel Encyclopedia he is not even in the same level as Cap? So where is this coming from?

I think that he looks a better figther than cap, his movments are pretty impressive, better than cap's.

Flowery fists and dance like movement doesn't equal to effective and destructive fighting skills. Remember what Bruce Lee said...Simplicity is the key to brilliance.

character50 indeed grasshopper

Maybe you are right, shaolin. But shang chi fighting skills rememeber me a lot of Bruce Lee, i think that they created the character thinking in bruce.

And Bruce is an awesome fighter...even created his own style Jeet Kune Do, but his skill level is not even close to his master of Wing Chun...and remember, Bruce Lee watered down his Kung Fu to just effective moves getting rid of the flowery fists and embroidery kicks at once...to make it more effective for him.

You know a lot about martial arts, shaolin.

But one question, who could be the better martial artist in marvel universe? if not chi, who? Cap? Iron fist? daredevil? black panther?

I know some...I practice Kung Fu myself, Hung Gar a southern shaolin style and learning Northern Shaolin too...

I think Cap is probably the best martial artist in marvel universe...but it doesn't mean he will win all the fights...there are more factors, like weapons and human strength and speed, than just pure martial arts expertise.

Out of cap and shi, its iron fist. Hes the one that seems to have the best figthing feats.

For me since i use to read Shang stories he is for me the most pure "emptyhand" master of the marvel universe . In that kind of fight he is the best. He doesnt rely that much on weapons like others or ki.

When it comes to Kung Fu...Shang Chi is the best...but all around hand to hand combat...Cap will outlast him.

Oh and about the fight in question. More likely the winner is cap. He is phisically better than Shang in practically all stats, he doesnt tire and hes stronger. And still belongs to the top of food chain in martial arts at marvel.

cap after a very good fight.

Your right Shaolin cap will know he fough one of the best but in the end Shang doesnt have the overall stats to win. Doesnt mean he cant..just that the majority is won by cap.

captain America takes this battl.e but not easily

Captain America takes it after a so so fight. Shang chi is the best martial artist in that he has the most perfect form. That doesn't nearly qualify him to beat captain america who is a perfect physical specimen with the best practical fightling skills, bar none.

It's like the opera chick that was on American idol (idle). Yeah she was technically the best singer, but not nearly the best practical performer.

Ever watch ultimate fightings early days? The guys with the best kata were routinely creamed by the best fighters trained or not.

Bump.

Nine years later and with Stark tech, how does this one go?

I can't see Cap winning against Shang with the Iron Man hands. I'd vote for normal Shang over Cap too, but the stark hands make it unfair.

Didn't cap already schooled him?
