If chi manipulation is banned then probably Bats. But if Shang's still allowed to throw his amped punches and such he's got a decent chance of winning.

Zack M
Yeah, pretty much. Batman is just as good in HTH as Shang, but if Shang pulls out the Chi tricks, he wins. if it's a dojo style fight, Batman would pull a small majority.

Zack M
Shang/Bronze Tiger
Shang/Richard Dragon would be good fights, too.

The fact that Shang is so good a MA that he can PERFORM chi manipulation proves that.

I'm talking technical skill. Batman has the edge, IMO. He stalemated Karate Kid who is superior to Chi.

ABC logic, mind control, suit and gear...

Chi amping is part of shang chis skill level. taking away his amping is the same as saying character X can fight, but without this and that technique because its too powerful and nor fair. well its part of his fighting skills.

See I gotta disagree with you there. I see chi manipution as it's own particular skill outright. Like you can be really skilled at punching, really skilled kicking, really skilled at grappling, really skilled at chi manipulation, etc. After all, chi manipulation is something that they start trying to teach you when you're a white belt and LOTS of high level MAs in comics have mentioned doing it in at least an off hand way. Shang deciding to focus on that particular aspect more doesn't inherantly make him more skilled that Bats in anything OTHER than chi manipulation. That's why when BP was talking about the two he said that Ironfist's chi was mighty, but Shang was the Master of kung fu in a clear implication that Shang was more skilled.

riv6672
^^^Interesting! yes

I don't know, Goober, considering what Danny did to T'challa under Priest, sounds like sour grapes to me. (Cage certainly wasn't taking it at face value. stick out tongue )

Yeah, chi is its own thing. Plus, it's not like batman can't dodge chi strikes.

Oh I'm not saying that Panther's ranking of the two is definitive, just that there's been on panel distiction between skill level and chi level.

Yeah, i dont see it as any more definitive than Superman's during the Bats/KK scuffle thats been mentioned.

Val was actually impressed with Batman's skills, while they stalemated. If Batman can stalemate someone on Val's level, Chi would be no problem.

That was clear cut PIS. Unless Batman regularly karate chops apart tanks and catch's bullets and deflects lasers with his cavity fillings.

Kk having any problems with batman is an undeniable example of PIS (either that or valid isn't nearly as good as he's touted as being).

Chi amping as far as shang chi or iron fist, is achieved thru skills and martial art training. at first glance one will say its just a typical projectile. but thats not the case. its not like a mutant or someone with super powers that simply has them. chi amping is being able to direct energies within your body and manipulate them via martial art training. for example, shang chi can amp his hits and make them stronger. would you argue thats a different category? its basically a technique, a fighting technique that allows him to amp his strikes and even durability. or like karate kid. karate kid via his skills and training, achieved levels of striking power durability and speed that can match super humans. so would you say well flash also has super human speed or superman has super human strength so its a different category? for them yes. for him its his skills that pushed him to such level. so for shang chi to use chi amping and make his hits harder, make him more durable or even use projectiles its part of fighting skills and not some outside force.

this statement will probably lead many of you, including me, asking ourselves - what are fighting skills. what is a fighting technique. as someone who trained and to this day trying to find the time to train here and there, i can tell you that fighting skills is not so much about the moves you learn. its not about the punch or the kick or the cool counter. its more about the stats you develop. a punch is a punch, a kick is a kick. but when you train your body to become stronger, faster better, thats part of the training and those are part of fighting skills. to me, thats the case with martial art characters amping their body thru inner energies. thats basically a level of training that enhance their abilities.

as far as batman, his typical and majority of abilities are limited to getting beat by the likes of bane, slade, bronze tiger atc atc. those are his limits. he can maybe win some, definitely lose some, but those are his levels. 1 fight vs karate kid doesnt change his entire history and overall abilities.

He's fought 2 separate Karate Kid's. He's also defeated Bane, BT, etc... He may have looked inferior the first rounds, but Batman always adapts in the end. He even teased Val that he wouldn't have beaten him a second time.,

as pointed out he may win some or lose some, but those guys are his limits. i also dont recall batman beating bronze tiger. as far as batman stating that, its just a statement. aside of that the whole event is beyond his average abilities when it comes down to fighting. and even then he lost as i recall. batman is a good top tier fighter, but when it comes to fighting skills and abilities alone, shang chi is 1 level above him IMO. lets also take into account the fact batman is using protective body suit that is suppose to lighten up the impact of the strikes he recieve. also enhance his own striking power to a little degree. shang chi is fighting shirtless WITH SLIPPERS OR SNEAKERS and he still kicks major ass Lol. when batman steps up into a fight he all suited up with tons of gadgets and shit ready up for war. then we got shang chi looking like he is walking to the beach wooping some ass punching out dragons and doombots. this says it all man. Mr shang is on a different level. not by much, but a different level.

lol you mean elite top tier fighters like Bane and Bronze Tiger are not limits for Shang Chi when for most of his history the Cat has stalemated him and Razor Fist has given him problems. Not too long ago Batman beat Bane who was own his most potent Venom ever with mostly just skill. So no Batman "limits" are definitely not less than Shang's. Like I said before you can't even low-ball correctly.

riv6672
Just curious (i've already made my pick here) how much skill was that mostly skill and how much was gear/gadgets, insofar as taking damage and dealing it out?

razor fist is getting wooped by him all the time. Cat stalemated him so? most of his fights you see shang chi simply dominates. he is able to destroy doombots, punch out dragons, hell he even beat the hell out of gorgon. if it wasnt for his healing factor gorgon would be screwed. watch his fight vs wolverine and elektra gorgon took their punishment like its nothing. but when shang amped himself, he was wrecking gorgon until he finally healed. thats the shang chi average. batman on average is getting hard pressed vs deathstroke, bronze tiger, bane and people at that level. the reason i brought that up was to show that batman matching karate kid is not his average. now since you are bringitng that up, are you claiming it is actually his avergae?
also as i pointed out already, batman has a suit and overall gear that helps him. this is only about skills. take that into account as well.

cdtm
Cat was made to be the anti-shang. And it's not like he's a pushover, either. Pushover's don't beat Deaepool or stalemate/beat Iron Fist..

Nobody said it didn't take skill to develop Chi attacks or whatnot. We're saying that if he couldn't rely upon that and it's just a dojo style fight, Batman would come out on top. We saw what happened when he fought Cap in a ring without Chi. It was 50/50. Batman has mastered every fighting style on earth, Shang isn't anything special.

You can call it that, but it still counts as his feats. He also one-shotted Bane, too.

Who one shotted Bane, Karate Kid? That just makes Batman stalemating him make even less sense.

One shotting Bane is a far cry from stalemating a guy who, while sick and dying, beats the shit out of a villain even Supergirl had trouble against.

You can say the feat counts, but it isn't necessarily an accurate representation of Batman's overall abilities.

Since if we're saying he can stalemate Karate Kid he should literally be able to one shot Shang Chi then.

EDIT: Just saw the Grundy thing too. If those feats count how does Batman not beat the shit out of Shang Chi? How does he not do so even if Shang Chi can use chi?

I don't recall supergirl having trouble with that villain. However, when Val went in for a kick, supergirl casually blocked it.

And the Val I'm talking about is on Shang's level, not above it.

The above seems impressive until you realize its mostly just your opinion.
-Its your opinion Batman'd win a dojo fight IF shang couldnt rely on something thats part of his MA mastery.
-Its your opinion Batman's mastered every fighting style on earth when in reality he's been shown to have taken parts of many styles and created a hybrid system that he incorporates along with his suit and gear to make him truly formidable.
-its your opinion Shang is nothing special.

Its my opinion you seek to lowball Shang like this because you dont know how to build one character up and still give the other due credit.

-shrug-
Its your debate style, though.

Shang Chi is a pure MA who's mastered his style to the point of Chi manip.
Batman has not mastered any one style to anywhere near that point.
This would be a good Dojo fight, that Shang would win.
In my opinion.

There's really not much more to say. Was a fun thread.

you just reminded me of something bruce lee said. he said "i fear not the man who practiced 10,000 kicks, i fear the man who practiced 1 kick 10,000 times". i find it very true. its not the number of styles you know. its how well you are doing with the tools you got. in a fight, you dont need 10,000 different types of a punch or a kick its pointless. you need 1 good punch that you know how and when to throw.

Bruce has learned from the best, though. And that gives him the skills to go toe to toe with pure MA's.

In terms of chi based attacks, I agree. However, in terms of hth skills, dojo fighting, they are about equal, with Bruce being the more cunning, IMO. Bruce has taken on and stalemated fighters who are peers (Or exceed) to Shang, so I don't see them being far off from each other.

But he is far above Shangs level. Unless you're treating Val from the Batman encounter as a completely separate character. But then if you are..we'd need feats from that specific story to tell us why beating that version of Val is impressive.

Otherwise if we take the Batman feat and say it counts..then he should literally one shot Shang Chi. That would be true even if you let Shang manipulate chi, and hell it'd be true if you let him manipulate chi and doubled his power levels.

Indeed.

But Val mastered alien forms. Another reason why you can't really compare them, or Val to Shang for that matter.

Shang "should" win on stats, if nothing else. If you think he can't decapitate a stone statue who's head is bigger then his body or do his best Wonder Woman impersonation by deflecting bullets off his wrist band without amping, I'm not sure what there is to debate. We're talking about a character that simply hasn't been written about.. (Same goes for Elektra with her sai deflections.

And what about Cassandra Cain? She sure doesn't chi channel. So does she get a pass, while chi channelers are assumed to do EVERYTHING on amp?)

Batman has went toe to toe with two versions of Karate Kid, clobbered Solomon Grundy. Single handedly wrecked the Teen Titans in a few panels, while wounded he took down 4 Talons at the same time, kung fued down and choked Lobo into submission, beat Aquaman in a hand to hand fight etc.

He doesn't have outward showings of chi, but his performances are better.

He's the ****ing Batman.

I was going to bump a thread to see what you, being a street expert, think of it, but can't find the thing. Probably been locked.

Anyways, it's Cap vs Logan h2h, no shield or armor, no claws, no adamantium, but shorty keeps his hf.

Most said Logan because of his hf.
