Thor VS The Sentry (In a Fist fight)


no hammer, no void. no energy projection/amping, flying, etc, etc. pure bareknuckle fist fight. fight is in asgard with an asgardian audience.







how does this go?


1. until one is KOed for 1 minute

2. 12 rounds with pro-boxing style rules

i think sentry wins both 6/10

JakeTheBank
Thor.

Harbinger
Thor in the first, Bob in the second.

Hyperion Prime
Thor in both!

Depends on which Sentry

The terrax or Genis versions stomps

Badabing
Thor in both. Better fighter.

can sentry use his speed too?

Thor in both way better fighter

Thor is a way better fighter, but I think Sentry is way faster than he is.

Sentry for a small majority

based on what? his exceptional h2h skills

that's an ironic comment considering thor's relative reliance on his hammer.

but to answer the question, I'd wager it would be because of his combat speed & the fact that he uses his fists more often than thor out of neccessity.

i still see thor as the better fighter...i mean aside form BM, IH how many h2h battles did he actually have, and i dont count Ares

So, what fights showcase Thor's fighting skills?

Serious question. Most times I've seen Thor fight (Vs Bill, vs Hulk), he usually brawls.

Hulk, Man-Beast, Hercules, and Juggernaut for starters.

h2h only? that'd be tricky, id have to look it up because he rarely swings without mjolnir in his hands.


Still from sentry's fights he pretty much just overpowers them amirite? no h2h required

The Juggernaut fights I saw, he was skilled in the use of the hammers powers: Cancelling out Juggs powers, teleportation, using it to battlefield remove Juggs to the moon.

But the parts where he fights bare handed, or tries hitting Juggs with his hammer, looks like brawling to me.

Compared with, say, Orions fight with Darkseid in Simonson's run...

Sin I AM
isnt the norse fighting just stylized brawling, hacking and slashing anyway


oan he was wrestling herc most of the time

JakeTheBank
Being a good brawler is a skill in of itself, though. And Thor's a great brawler. They even mention Thor's warrior background and being the greatest warrior around as the reason how and why he beats people with comparable or greater stats a lot. And the Asgardians exhibit skill in swordsmanship and warfare; they're not beserker Vikings. I think people have this notion you have to be a ninja or something in order to have skill.

he has taken huge punches from thing like it was a fly swat. no effect. even thor would flinch from thing's best punches. thing has given the hulk problems. his fight with ultron was h2h & she had to run away/ use other methods to contend with him. he KOed Attuma with one punch. he punched namor into the ground within the span of 2 pages or so. namor couldn't even counter attack. a literal punch stomp into the street.

that aside, sentry was retconned into continuity so his untold stories are still yet untold. we don't know the full extent of his pure h2h skills.

conversely, how many purely (and significant) h2h thor battle have there been? this mean no hammer, no energy projection, no amping, no pis, no bs.

No. Most involved Thor using his bare fists coupled with the skill he does possess stalemating or outright beating his opponent. A few of his fights involved Thor getting into tests of strength (ie. Hulk/Hercules) and stalemating their strength output.

I don't see Sentry overcoming the fact that Thor is a better fighter than he is. *shrug* The stips for these hobble Sentry just about as much as it they do Thor.

not really. thor is very reliant on his hammer. sentry is primarily seen using his fists. sentry has blistering speed that thor has no answer for. even without the speed, sentry has monsterous strength. thor loses here.

Didn't Thor match Cap without his powers at some point?

The way he was portrayed in the movie was as a seriously skilled hand to hand expert. I'd think they drew that from the comics, and didn't just make it up...

Sentry uses his fists coupled with his speed, flight, energy projection/"matter manipulation", etc. Sentry hardly ever engages foes on foot using nothing but his fists and speed - he "blitzes" people in the air more than anything...hell, if you can show me Sentry speedblitzing someone on the ground, I'd appreciate it. Thor on the other hand, has multiple instances of tossing Mjolnir aside and engaging a foe straight up and winning.

Thor has monsterous strength as well, as well as more consistent and better strength feats to boot.

Is this spite or sorely one sided then in your opinion as the OP?

Yes, he kept up with and was shown to be just as competent as Cap was in the thick of it when he was mortal.

There really ought to be no contention between Thor's skill level and Sentry's, imo.

how can thor even hit sentry when sentry can punch & maneuver faster than thor's neurons can even signal the brain to perform a physical movement? unless thor is just pissing into the wind & punching all over the place.

CosmicComet
Why can't he demonstrate that same level when he's a at normal levels?

I honestly don't take that instance too seriously.

Seems more like a trope more than anything. I don't know if there is a name for it, but I like to call it the inverse-power-skill rule. Sudden depowering, sudden gaining of skill levels never before seen.

Heh, come to think of it, Superman suddenly gained the ability to own Kobra when he was in a human body..

Still, at the levels Thor fights at, how many opportunities does he really get to display h2h skills?

If you have a really big hammer, you use the hammer.

Sake of drama/plot, I'd wager.

I'd say that Thor's displayed a regular "baseline" level of skill in combat/brawling/etc and has his "warrior born" levels in which it's really hyped up.

His regular/consistent level of showing is greater than that of Sentry's, imo. His higher end, more played up displays of skill widen that gap.

6/10 for sentry.


and sentry has never used matter manipulation in any meaningful way. that was void.

i'd like to see thor toss aside mjolnir & tangle with namor the way sentry did. sentry was punch stomping him into the street (pure h2h at this point by the way) & namor couldn't even counter. nothing. nada. and namor has given hercules & hulk problems. thor could not so overwhelmingly pummel namor without his hammer.

But does that outnumber the times he had trouble dealing with nonspeedster speeds?

Realistically though, if he can keep up with cap while at equal levels...he should be millions of times faster at normal strength.

the actual physical exchange is very brief and Namor is unharmed. namor even states he was away from the sea for too long & in a weakened state. thor gets smashed in the face before he can even do anything. namor couldn't land a single blow on sentry. In other words...fail.

the way sentry shit stomped namor during utopia was more on the up & up. namor was not in a weakened state since the x-men planned and prepped for the dark avengers. namor had to resort to throwing buses at him to try & keep away...until he caught namor & punch stomped him into the street so hard it collapsed the concrete under namor. namor couldn't even react.

How much more stronger and durable is Thor over Masterson because to my knowledge, Masterson has some insane feats durability and strength wise. Reason I'm asking is because Gladiator hit Masterson one time (first punch thrown during the fight) and he was basically almost out of the fight, dizzy and could barely stand.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/224/42660845wb4.jpg/

Imo, Sentry is pretty close strength wise to Glads and if Masterson and Thor is as close physically as I think they are and Sentry strength is as close to Glads as I think it is... numerous of barrages from Sentry at super speed wouldn't be a safe bet for Thor.

Thor's definitely tougher. Strength levels are pretty much a wash if Reynolds confident. Sentry is an "invulnerable" character so he'd normally be harder to actually injure but we know Thor's damage soak makes up for that advantage.

Anyways, the notion that's Sentry is as or more skilled than Thor is hilarious tbh. The argument that Thor using Mjolnir often somehow makes him less skilled than a brick who punches more is a silly one. We've seen Thor in plenty of hand to hand battles to know how formidable he is without the hammer.

Like I said, Thor is tougher. Sentry is harder to initially hurt most likely.

Sure he's faster, but I doubt that's going to matter much most of the time.

So Hulk is more skilled than Thor? Let's not forget that Thor's an immortal. For example, the few decades he has spent on modern Earth is basically a single afternoon to him.

Of course he is, but he almost always uses Mjolnir as a club so it doesn't change much.

Except one of them has been fighting for over 2000 years. And a nice big chunk of that without the hammer. Guess which one I'm talking about.

JakeTheBank
Yes, Thor is tougher in the terms of damage soak/stamina which evens out Sentry's (relative) invulnerability. So Rage is correct on that stance. Sentry's faster, but not to the degree to massively overwhelm Thor as :

A.) Sentry hardly ever uses his speed in the context set up by the OP. And I would still appreciate any scans of Sentry using super speed without his flight and on foot; it would definitely help for the purposes of debating in this thread.

and

B). Thor has enough feats under his belt to justify being able to tag super-speedsters with his bare hands if he needs to.

Such as what? I don't doubt that Sentry is faster than Thor, but the conditions of this fight hobble Sentry just as much as it does Thor. Thor's got far more experience fighting in fisticuffs on the ground against opponents with equal or superior physical attributes than Sentry does and to me, and correct me if I'm wrong with any issue numbers or scans, Sentry almost exclusively uses his speed during flight, which is barred for this fight.

that has nothing to do with flight...that means he can see the bullet in slow motion and his arms move fast enough to catch it. that is not at all hobbled by this thread's stipulations.

thor's punches will be perceived slow enough for sentry to dodge.

Thor's caught tank shells and other projectiles before and has also reacted to nigh instantaneous projectiles, though.

But has Sentry ever used his speed like that under these settings? Has he ever ran super fast similar to Superman or speedblitz someone without using flight? We all know or have heard of Thor's brawls with others bricks, but what fights are we basing Sentry's winning off of?

here are some speed feats

Which is what I'm saying here. Thor, as we all know, has multiple instances of fighting exactly like how the OP stipulated, whereas Sentry has no such gauge and no experience to speak of. Him being physically superior in some aspects - and it's not enough to overwhelm Thor completely - is countered by Thor actually knowing how to fight and fight well without Mjolnir if need be. So any relevant Sentry speed feats that are as close to what the OP wants would be helpful in determining how Sentry handles or would conduct himself during a straight up fist fight.

Not really, at least not imo; if they wanted Sentry to be this insanely fast person outside of travel speed, they could. As is, he was shown to barely be able to out maneuver Extremis Iron Man during his "classic" era.

You could argue the first scan is him running, but I'd argue its ambiguous either way.

The second scan is clearly him flying though, but I'm not sure if you were arguing that point there or not.

In comics, speed rarely wins the match between equals unless it's a very specific speed oriented showing or we're dealing with a speedster.

For the record, Thor is on that level as well. His knocked bullets out of the air, blocked close point blank shots and so on.

Other Asgardians such as Balder, Valkyrie and Masterson have better bullet based speed feats though.

Isn't that by spinning his hammer really fast though?

That's different from Daredevil deflecting them with his baton.

CosmicComet
He's caught shells from tanks casually.

And I'm pretty sure that stuff travels far faster than a bullet. Though to be fair they are a fair bit larger than bullets too. So that may even it out.

In comics, speed rarely wins the match between equals unless it's a very specific speed oriented showing or we're dealing with a speedster.



For the record, Thor is on that level as well. His knocked bullets out of the air, blocked close point blank shots and so on.

Other Asgardians such as Balder, Valkyrie and Masterson have better bullet based speed feats though. Thor can't move like Sentry nor has he been shown able to react as quickly as the Sentry has when not even on the page with ease.

Sentry is far faster than Thor. It's not even up for debate.

Yes, they attempt to.

Objectively speaking, non speedsters tagging Superman isn't any more stupid then anyone hurting anyone with punch's who's ever tanked a black hole, though........

No matter how much forum's try and make fights fair and free of PIS, it'll always be a flawed science, because the very nature of comics is an exercise in creating PIS...

Hence, Slade catching Flash is universally ruled PIS because of Flashes speed. While Punisher tagging Cassandra Cain with a punch is also ruled PIS, because Cass can outrun bullets...

Never mind that a human, no matter how they're trained, simply can't do that, so you can as easily argue that the bullets are jobbing every single time they miss their target, and Punisher tagging Cass makes more sense...

But yeah, that's the nature of comic book debates, selectively declaring what makes sense and what's PIS, when it's ALL shit for our entertainment in the end, science be damned...

I thought I made it incredibly clear that Sentry has the superior speed in my book but apparently you lack the comprehension to determine that.

What is Sentry's best reaction feat? It better be something pretty impressive to claim he's far faster than Thor.

While we're on the topic, remember when Thor struck Sentry before he could land a blow despite being in the less advantageous position:

mhmm

I'll be back in an hour. Black Ops time.

I'll be back in an hour. Black Ops time. You aren't fooling anyone with your posts. Catching a punisher bullet while not even around or beheading morgana comes to mind.

Sentry was standing around in siege letting people hit him. He let ares stick him with an axe though it didn't much less of anything.

Thor has the reflexes to fight quicker guys but the sentry is far faster make no doubt about it.

The funny thing is Thor sat there while norman told him they were going to hammer in without attacking first. Thor is a battle tested warrior with reflexes to fight guys with speed but he isn't anywhere near as fast as they are combat wise.

Sentry can't fly in this fight, Quan.

Well said, Sir. thumb up Sentry already showed he's simply beyond Thor and an avengers threat. Thor couldn't dream of beating him on his own without the character allowing him to with the aid of a team.

So me admitting that Sentry should be faster -at least movement wise- was all some kind of ploy? You're an idiot.

There's no flying in this battle -unless you want me to mention some flight oriented speed feats for Thor- and those don't prove Sentry's far faster than Thor.

I don't care what the Void influenced Sentry did. Reynolds was about to strike and the Odinson got the blow in first.

What? Good, so we agree that Thor wins.

I'll finish this later.

Thor's not faster than the sentry so please enough with it. Sentry tackled Thor and let Thor hit him. What else do you see ? Di dyou think Sentry was avoiding ares attacks or anyone's lately in dark avengers or siege ?

Sentry wins. More powerful, more durable, and faster.

We saw what savage hulk did to Thor's face after he tossed his hammer. Poor guy was beat up.

I agree, he is more of a Supes fan than a Thor fan. I always had that assumption about Rage.
