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.
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.
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.
