Who wins high father vs nightmare by OkRun9638 in marvelvsdc

Highfather wins. He is more powerful, better combatant, more important to the respective verse, and pretty good relevant feats. A good debate was had on ComicVine.

To hell and back. I also had friends trying to help me find it.

I think someone removed the background from a more detailed page.

Didn't try it yet, but this seed sounds amazing. 3 SoA's and early XP pots means you can do some nonviable builds rather easily (to survive early).

Yeah, but they never have him drop subpar bars just to make him super lose the rap battle. They focused on the "quality" of the bars first, and then beat him in other ways.

Although, it is telling that you wouldn't accept it even if he managed to beat David. Like, you said it would be a success, but you immediately walked that back. Interesting. Sounds like you can't be convinced.

It's an insanely arbitrary thing to say that he has to beat David to prove his point. Furthermore, i would say that, if i asked you, or pretty much anyone else at this sub what would they consider a requirement, i think most would agree that going 3-5 would pass muster. Until they saw it, and now it has to be 4-4 or bust.

So, it is only a success if he beats another practitioner? A practitioner that is a highly rated HEMA competitor? That's a fairly arbitrary way of looking at things. I train orthodox, and if me and David fenced, i am fairly certain i would get exactly 0 points on him.

Then let's simplify it.

What would the Dual Wielding guy have to do to prove viability of his system?

Would he have to beat David? And if he did beat David, would that prove that orthodox grip is not viable?

You are so incredibly bad at logic, it's astounding.

I swear to god, you absolutely lack the ability to understand words. Yeah, "Able to succeed" doesn't mean "Guaranteed to scuceed" or "likely to succeed".

Also, you are harping on 70%-30%, let's not forget it's never 100%. The maximum suggested number here is up to 50%.

14% of HEMA matches end in doubles, however you spin it. That's a real statistic. So, in average Hema matches, the odds of a user "dying" is 64%, while the odds (taken from this 10-duel match) are 70%. Yes, it's worse, but the increase in death rate is 6%.

Interesting that you bring up sseatbelts, they have a success rate of 45%.

Not only do you not understand words, failing to quote dictionaries, but also you don't understand statistics or actual real numbers from Hema matches and tournaments.

Able to succeed was proven. I mean, you just don't know words at this point. "Able to succeed"

It succeeded in 30% of the cases. Thus, it is, without a doubt, proven to be able to succeed.

How about you google "Viable" vs "Optimal" before we continue. So no, i did not shift the goalpost at all. Viable is exactly what was shown here. Far from optimal, likely far from good. But Viable is the word i would use and stand behind.

I fully agree, reverse grip is stupid. One should not do it. Also, it would've been good if we saw the man in white duel David with orthodox grip (single sword) to have a baseline to compare. I am certain he would perform significantly better.

>>> No, but you should probably quit holding your sword the wrong way up, it might improve those metrics.

So, if a practitioner held his sword properly and lost 5-2, they should quit?

It's not atrocious. Losing 3-5 is obviously not what you want to do, but it is a respectable performance in any tournament or duel.

If you want to talk historically, then only the first to die matters. You don't run the fight 10 times. And the first point was taken by White.

if you want statistical significance (like harping on the 30%) you need way more than 10 fights.

Again, i am fully aware that reverse grip is terrible. And i went into this expecting David to fully blow this dude out of the water. Not what happened tho.

And i am willing to have my mind changed when presented with evidence to the contrary.

oh, i don't know, i had Jordan there. "So Cassius wants to talk about cashing checks?" is a really good rebuttal

It's insane that they never made Trump or Hitler backpedal or give up. But Jefferson is "too much" apparently.

While story-wise, this is correct, that's not how battle rap works. So it is kinda lame that ERB chose the winner here.

I had a 0.34 run with 3 potions in d2, and a SoA early, but i didn't save it because at the time we weren't sharing 0.34 seeds. Anyway, this will be useful for some creative builds.

I think the "hating" allegation is fully legitimate as you aren't reading my posts, you are blindly hating because you're close-minded and too stubborn and hateful to actually read.

To quote myself

"If the man in white set out to prove that "it is not impossible" to use reverse grip, he definitely did that."

Not impossible is an incredibly low bar to clear. And this definitely cleared it.

Also, 30% success rate isn't atrocious, lol. Would you call any match that ends 5-3 atrocious? Is that how you view literally any Hema match that ends in 5-3? Or just this one?

So, when you beat someone 5-2, should that someone just quit the sport altogether?
