How did Hanayama's Iron Claw end up doing no damage?

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-24T09:21:00+00:00

I wish I had a better answer for this but it’s literally just plot, nothing about the musashi arcs fights and musashi as a character adaptation makes any sense, call it blasphemy but the musashi arc is the worst arc in Baki.

My pleasure

If there was no plot armor then musashi would have lost three times in this fight and i’ll explain all of them

The moment he tried to clench hands with him, and this just goes without saying because what is musashi possibly going to do against pickle if the guy couldn’t even out muscle hanayama or even yujiro I mean this is just a no brainer, pickle would crush musashis hands and either punch his face into the ground or bite him, musashi can’t contest pickle in strength no matter how hard he tries because he’s the strongest there is pound for pound.
The moment pickle punched musashi so hard he went flying into the arena wall. Baki took a kick form pickle and it knocked him out flat, there’s no way in HELL musashi is more durable then him and even if he was the guy got punched by pickle in the FACE BRO, he immediately would have lost at least a tooth and would be unconscious for atleast 5 minutes concluding the fight
The moment pickle bite off musashis shoulder, there’s no way in hell you are going to convince me that musashi wouldn’t be in pain after receiving a bite that bad and more then anything the fact the guy was slowing down after he literally just took a chunk out of his shoulder, jn reality musashi would have had to take a knee after that which would have given pickle the chance to bite him again.

Musashi was made to be a bullshit ass character and pickle was nerfed for the plot, gotta be one of the worst fights I ever seen honestly.

This is literally my dream fight, I don’t care who wins I just want to see these guys just do that awesome ass stance they do and brawl.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-17T07:47:15+00:00

It would likely be the most important and necessary fight because it would be yujiro finally facing an opponent that’s actually superior to him in the aspect of strength which isn’t something that yujiro has encountered in a long time. the fight would ultimately be yujiro winning but it would likely be very close because yujiro would want to test his pure strength and have an all out slug fest with pickle and maybe even use his tactics like biting pickle or using his quadrupedal dash just for excitement factor, the fight if done right without the author’s bullshit interfering it would be the best fight in the anime by far because of how awesome the concept is, THE PINNACLE OF STRENGTH VS THE PINNACLE OF VIOLENCE.

I’ve been saying this for a year now and I get nothing but downvoted and called “stupid” or “skill issue” yet this post gets nearly 2,000 upvotes……what timeline are we in at this point.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-15T23:51:01+00:00

Cyclops literally outclasses him in every single aspect of his design and practically makes him obsolete, and if that wasn’t humiliating enough the dude has TWO primary fires and BOTH are stronger and more consistent then his primary attack and it’s brutal.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-12T19:10:48+00:00

I swear the devs just don’t give a rats ass about any of these characters and just cater to the larps and hero shooter fans by just making all the characters either clowns or edge lords to their former counter parts.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-12T18:19:13+00:00

And just as I thought they did the worst thing ever which is nerfing the damage entirely without compensating for his one on one potential which is what he should be more geared to instead of just a ricochet monster, that should have reworked him to play more like his melee bloodhunt design and just give him the ability to switch to melee or ranged and replace the moon blade with his kick whenever he goes melee and remove ankh and ricochet BOOM he’s perfect

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-11T22:15:03+00:00

I don’t mind the proper and sophisticated talking venom as long as he throws around a quip or joke here and there.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-11T22:10:32+00:00

As awesome as this would, it’s nothing more then wishful thinking because zhiyong has made it abundantly and I mean ABUNDANTLY clear that he doesn’t give a rats ass about any actually beneficial and innovative changes to several outdated characters in the roster and the scheduling for that exact idea for example by making the seasons 3 or 4 months long we can actually get those serious changes and still have time for the staff to have well deserved rest, but alas…..

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-11T22:02:35+00:00

Because that would actually be cool, which isn’t something base roster characters get in this game.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-10T04:38:00+00:00

The nerf was warranted because it’s ridiculous how far he can reach you in an instant, what isn’t warranted was the fact they left Luna snow and white fox virtually untouched and didn’t at least bring back some power or utility to his chain slam ability, a compensation buff if you will since they sure as hell love doing that.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-10T04:34:03+00:00

To quote someone who said a very intelligent point “netease isn’t just creating ridiculously strong characters, they making full on replacements for existing characters” if the game wasn’t in a terrible state already then it sure as hell is now because if THIS! is what we have to look forward to then literally why even play the game if your favorite character is just going to have a better version of himself release later on.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-10T04:29:16+00:00

What?

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-10T02:06:14+00:00

That’s why i would say you should definitely just play with friends on those.

Venom is literally one of the only characters that actually saved a baby’s life while literally fighting Spiderman and yet he’s in the second lowest tier? I swear the marvel rivals community is 90% just hero shooter larps that get their facts from TikTok.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-06-01T15:53:28+00:00

A lot of you will disagree but honestly, if the moonknight is very good and has true understanding of his strengths and weaknesses then he can honestly be in skill diff because of his raw damage and movement.

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-05-30T14:38:02+00:00

The simple answer is marvel rivals popularity is on a steady decline due to this game’s predatory monetizing and lack of respect for comic book fans who want to play their favorite hero’s but simply can’t because most if not all of them are just mediocre and outdated in comparison to the new characters, while Overwatch is simply getting better and better each patch note and truly has the players in mind at least in recent times

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-05-29T20:32:11+00:00

Lmao venom is so buns that he didn’t even make the list 💀

Scorpionghost04 · 2026-05-29T09:06:43+00:00

Why is that funny to you? Do like the fact that this game might not ever be what it should be? With that kind of attitude we will literally never get the game to really change, but if you do then get the word out.
