and i'll refrain from making any implications concerning that statement.......although it didn't deter others from making the same implication even though my statements were far less outright in their.........decision
Just saying that you can't overlook Scott's skill and brain. There is a lot that he can do without optic blasts.
Anyway people are probably voting for Scott because he is outmatched in this fight. Why not pit him against someone who he is even with? I don't like taking it serious when someone has so many huge advantages over them. Its like putting Spidey in a fight against Juggernaut.

i think if hammond was solely depending on his physical superiority, he'd lose. hammond may be superior, but as long as he's within the range of human ability, he could never be much more stronger or faster than cyke. scott isn't your average human either. his training may not have rendered him peak human status, but i don't think he's far from it.
and yeah, cyke has had more training and is more skilled
what i think tips it is the fact that jim hammond has been at this longer than he's been alive. and the fact he isn't untrained himself.......and he had a darn good teacher. all of that kind of just piles up with his physical advantages and puts him over FTW. but it's not like i don't think cyclops could take him a few out of 10.
i definitely don't think it's a 10/10 absolute victory for hammond.....nothing like pitting spidey against juggernaut. there's nothing spidey can do to win at all.
i'd argue that jim hammond's brain might just be a little advanced........seeing as he learned all he needed to be a well-educated human being in a couple of weeks under the ground, in cement, listening to a radio, in an inert state.......but yeah, whatever.
So. Even though "supposedly" Scott can't harm him ( ), a certain amount of head trauma will render Jim unconscious. So then...why exactly can't Scott just apply an absurd amount of head trauma on Jim and KO him?
I don't know why you're slapping your forehead I get what hes saying.
....I don't think hes arguing that he can't do it. I think hes arguing since HT h2h abilities are very good (not as good as cykes) and because he is very durable its going to be hard for Cyke to do this.
PZ, you've done a better job explaining his reasoning in your two sentences than namorsubby has done this whole thread. Regardless, I knew what he was going for, but I wanted to see what namorsubby's response was.
WTF? what do you mean WHY?. i said he could. have you people seen a word i've typed?????
i've said he could KO him from the beginning..........so, yes, I SUPPOSE HE CAN.
I've tried looking at this from a different perspective, but i still can't see how anything i've said is hard to understand. you guys have to be jerking me around........if not.........then i just don't know what to say.
edit:
oh, and i say "harm" as in cause any damage that is fatal
