Everyone goes down with enough damage. Resilience to pain prevents one from dropping fast but it doesn't prevent the damage from happening, and that's what grants the win.
WW also has taken extreme levels of pain and damage without dropping too. Minutes after she and Superman beat each other to a pulp in Sacrifice they were both heroing again, and she was just fine for taking on a trio of Alpha OMACs (the class of OMACs designated for taking on Superman types).
Quite frankly yes. She can take down kryptonians and gods in melee. Anyone who's herald level toughness can be taken down by her.
But also it was spread across an entire solar system and with an epicenter quite a distance from him. That reduces the damage a lot, square cubed rule and all. He just had to spend some energy to defend against the small portion that hit him.
The blasts probably won't one-shot him, but considering they're able to blast back wargods and ash Ivo made battle androids (also of note- she can keep it going for awhile, it doesn't have to be a quick blast, if someone's caught between she can keep a currant going), he's not going to like taking them and they can also be used as a set-up to further attacks.
It's a powerful tactical tool. Same as the tiara, useful for piercing defenses and attacking vital spots, or the lasso, useful for restraining or reducing capabilities or also just as a weapon.
Yea, but there are limits, and attacks of this level will still dish damage faster than he can repair.
I put them at above 50% (though with a good share of wins for Nova too).
Nova's quite powerful, but Diana's had enough upgrades to move into the high herald category, and even before upgrades she was pretty far up in the mid-heralds.
Also, power aside, WW's a very good tactician and uses her options well.
By being within his brain. That makes it quite a bit easier.
Just to make things clear, I'm a Nova fan too, his book is great and I think he deserves a ton of respect, I just give Diana the nod in a fight.
Can be blocked or avoided by speeding out of the blast radius. Also hard to tell how much damage it'd do to a herald-toughness target, it might just cause a lot of damage but not finish things.
A *potential* fight stopper, perhaps, but not without counter.
I don't think either fighter has something that'll grant them a win every time just because they try it. This isn't a fight of that kind.
Out of character. I do wish people wouldn't try and turn so many WW threads into sex things.
You know what? You're right. It was more my lame attempt at humor about Nova being a ladies man than about WW. Diana has without question earned her place among the best of the best.
With regards to h2h, it should be noted that Nova casually dispatched of Gamora in CQC FWIW. I consider Gamora to be Diana's superior in CQC, (Not strength wise of course ) but that another debate.
He ain't beatin her H2H. No way no how... He has to use his various abilities cause she is just way too skilled and experienced. I do think he wins a slight majority. Unless her lasso or tiara connects.
I'm thinking he can repel them though pretty easily...
If this nova recruit can do this, he should be able to repel objects that are even more damaging or projected with even more power... http://img28.imageshack.us/i/nova2808.jpg/
yeah but the distinction b/n the 2 is still small. when in close quarters, 2 physical class 100's would more often than not resort to h2h. even NP resorts to h2h when in close quarters combat against a physical powerhouse as shown against Gladiator's cousin Xenith.
Nah. The Xenith fight is an outlier. Prime was just freaking out over Robbie. Most of his fights in cqc he mixs grav manipulation with h2h. i.e. Drax etc.
Yep. He did fight h2h when he was pissed. But once he realized that Robbie was alive he calmed down and went back to being the cerebral assassin that we know and love.
Yeah, the Xenith fight really puts the Surfer's current durability into show too. Even at full confidence (at the start) Nova was making Xenith bleed with his punches. While the Surfer took a direct hit at full power and shrugged it off like nothing.

but still reppin naija
Hmm, Nova does have effective ways of avoiding the lasso and tiara, and if he combines his gravity manip along with the worldmind running strategies i think he cud get a slight majority due to fighting smart.
