He showed absolutely no skill with a sword in the film. He never dodged bullets with outright speed. He simply teleported. Blade CAN dodge bullets. Blade's too skilled for Nightcrawler. I seriously doubt Kurt could kill Blade or Marv.
You don't need skill with his abilities, all he has to do is port, then hack and slash, end of fight. Plus, his strength is enough to toss grown men several feet away, he takes this more often than not.
I agree, he could teleport behind any of them and have the sword materialize in there head/body, instant death in most cases.
Could also teleport each of them a mile or two above the WH and let them make their own way down. Marv might survive this, but I doubt he'd survive repeated drops.
NC was many times faster at teleporting-attacking-teleporting than that black guy (going off the WH scene), they'd likely be dead before they picked up on a pattern, if NC has an attack pattern to begin with.
It's not about patterns...It's about instinct. It's about adapting to your opponent quickly.
There's also that slight delay between the "smoke" and NC taking physical form. While he may be able to take down some suited guards, it's a different story taking down Blade or Riddick who both fought and beat as equally fast opponents (Frost and Lord Marshall respectively)
Actually, Riddick could see Lord Marshall's soul before his body followed, and he was losing until Vago stepped in and tried to kill him.
And the only reason Blade won against Frost is because Frost let him hit him with the serum, he didn't think it would do any damage.
And the only reason Sabertooth figured out Wraith's pattern was because they worked together for years. He even mentioned it when he grabbed his spine.
BTW, it was about pattern, Sabertooth knew John's patten, he said so, he said he's predictable.
When Riddick fought the Lord Marshall, he couldnt see him half the time, still killed him.

Yes because there was certainly not any outside interference in that fight and Marshall was certainly not beating the shit out of Riddick before outside forces intervened, right?
And? Riddick had obviously gotten a feel for the Lord Marshall, how fast he can move and where he moves.
Riddick could also kill the lights, you know. One flip of the switch.

So Riddick would inconvenience his teammates as well??? And most rooms in the white house have windows. Plus, like I already said, Vago helped him, plus Riddick didn't figure anything out, he was just in the right place, at the right time. He actually saw Marshall's soul as it ran toward him, since he was where it would stop.
