The way he is arguing, we should consider some guy who has trained in Capoeira for a few years, and learned to do a few fancy flips and kicks, a more skilled martial artist than a world Muay Thai champion, who would mostly resort to punches, kicks, knees, elbows and grappling i.e. less flashy techniques, in a fight.

Because apparently the flashier your moves are, the more "badass" you are.

And on a random note, as someone who has actually practiced Muay Thai for several years, I know that flying knee, as Cap executed it, is an extremely difficult move to pull off properly (especially as well as Cap executed it), which is a reason most professional fighters would not even attempt it in a fight. Too risky that it doesn't execute properly.

Can someone fill me in on the disagreement?

Yes Ozy is more acrobatic.

Anyone who disagrees has blinders on.

Nuff said

Are you knew to movies as well? Jesus, you claim like you've trained in Muay Thai, and the way you're talking, forgive me if I don't believe that for one second.

The REASON the moves are perceived as taking more skill.. well besides the fact THAT IT DOES. It's much harder to fly in the air, flip around 4 times and kick one or two people while still in the air. To even compare that to a flying knee is laughable. The reason WHY these are perceived by pretty much every person in the known world with common sense and logic, is because they exhibit moves that no human can pull off. The moves we see Legolas doing, no human could do. THAT is why they are special. A flying knee, kicks, punches... buy a PPV of UFC... you'll see humans doing that all the time. That isn't special. The reason directors use such scenes of crazy flashy moves is because they know the audience will go WOW that guy must be super badass... he can do stuff no human would pull off.


I swear to God, it's like I'm talking to people who've never watched a movie or competed in a sport in their entire life.

See this is the thing, and why it's so irritating talking to you sometimes. It's like I have to hold your hand through basic concepts of movies and combat sports. It's like you've never watch either in your life.

Did you miss the ELABORATE Part said right after that. Do I need to define that for you? If I say he doesn't use his skill as much as the others named, and as an example I say he's not do acrobatic elaborate kicks most of the time. What the F do you think that means. That sounds like the definition of Daredevil and the message I was trying to convey. ELABROATE was the key word there. That is Cap, period end of story. It's easy to visualize when I say he's not some acrobat doing elaborate kicks in the air. He's not, You disagreed and thus the argument started. I made the claim that Legolas, Daredevil, Elektra, all rely on their skill more than Cap. THAT was the discussion. You disagreed. I challenged you to a BZ against Legolas. Then you turn around and go... Oh so you want to do a BZ about who's the better acrobat... even though I SPECIFICALLY USED WORDS RIGHT AFTER THAT LIKE KICK.. LIKE ELABORATE... and somehow you still think I'm saying who's the better gymnast LMAO

You didn't answer my question again...

Who would more people say is more skilled between

A. Hero, crouching tiger, DareDevil, Legolas type of moves were shown to a viewing audience

then

B. We're shown some of Cap's fighting scenes and the moves he's pulled off.

Do you honestly think anybody in the viewing audience wouldn't think the people I named were more skilled fighters. It's like you've never watched a Kung Fu movie in your life. Shit maybe even any action movie. A director has a character do all these flashy moves because he know that is the best way to showcase skill. You don't showcase skill by mostly punching people and kicking them. You are more able to show it with WOW FACTOR type moves. Do you disagree?

Is that really the discussion. You're claiming I said he's more of an acrobat than Cap. By all means then, post the quote where I made that claim. That isn't the discussion .

Ok can people actually just make some Cap vs Legolas acrobatics thread or something? Everyone made their decisions on who wins like 10 pages ago already.

You are free to believe what you want. Doesn't change the facts. Considering the nonsense claims you make about forgetting more about MMA, boxing etc. than people you have never actually met apparently know, and have no background info of, makes me take your own claims about the subject less than seriously.

And exactly where did I mention Legolas here? Oh right. Never. I pointed out that a flying knee is a difficult technique to execute properly, which is true. So as someone who knows this, I can tell that Cap needs a level of skill to pull it off as well as he does. Maybe you need to witness super flashy moves to be able to recognise skill, but not everyone else does.

And you bring up Legolas as though a regular human can just replicate all of Cap's feats of acrobatics.

Answer this basic question:

Which would the viewing audience more likely think is more skilled

Somebody pulling off moves that no human can do. The moves Legolas does.. Daredevil does etc etc. The audience sees those types of moves

then they see

Cap punching and kick people fast and really hard, with some occasional bad ass flashy moves through in

Which one? Be honest?

Where did I say it takes no skill?? I never made any such claim. I know the exact skill it takes and it's not easy to pull off, especially in a fight situation. Difference is most every athletic human can pull that off... maybe not as fast or with as much accuracy, but they can do a fine enough job. They can't pull off the moves Legolas does in his movies. THAT is the difference. One is superhuman skill moves.. the other is well... most humans can do. Now I'm not claiming a human can fight as fight... hit as hard... have the reactions and agility Cap has. They don't. But we're talking about fighting here, and who's EXHIBITING more Skill in their melee combat. I listed people who do, he disagreed, I challenged him to a BZ against Legolas. Simple. That is why he's brought up because Froth claimed Cap shows just as much skill in his melee combat. I disagree.
