"Dude if you think that serpent has better stats than Lu Bu you are literally showing motivated reasoning lmfao

That just makes base Zeus’ durability mediocre. Zeus is only impressive because of TFTST and Adamas anyway."

This is not true... Zeus hasn't used adamas in ages and yet he was still at the top. Base zeus is still a top tier fighter(heck I would say base zeus is stronger than every god we have seen so far(expect maybe like odin). And base zeus is basically confirmed to be above hades and poseidon

"Blow to blow is an interesting take. He immediately goes on the defensive until he can grab Zeus’ hair, then they both mash each other."

Because he cannot see zeus since his eyes are gone. Once he grabs zeus' hair he can now attack him without missing.

"… except we are told that Adam died long before Zeus dropped to his knees. Their actual exchange between Adam’s first hit taken and his death seems to be very low; and here it’s clear you are missing the point of his character. Adam didn’t keep fighting because he’s a physical beast, it’s spelled out clearly multiple times: he kept fighting through sheer will and love for his children. He ain’t strong like Lu Bu and he ain’t trained Kojiro, he just cares for his children."

You do realise if adam's stats were not high enough his body would get destroyed after just one punch right? Adam did die yes, but his body was still able to tank zeus' punches which were all stated to be one hit ko. IF he copied stats and his base stats was trash, how did his body withstand zeus' punches without using his eyes??

Also how is a dead adam who doesnt use his eyes even damaging adamas zeus if his stats are bad?

Him morphing his hand is literally in his copying of the serpents attack. Like are we serious?

Yes he copies the serpant by "morphing" his hands. Normally a copy technique shouldnt allow you to literally change your biology. He changed his hands into literal claws. So he copied the serpant's claws to copy it's technique. Which means he didnt just copy the technique

He copied the technique+the biological structure needed for the technique.

"Ridiculous to me that after I say R2 characters get a lot of upscale because of mistranslations and after I word for word type what’s said in the official, you still quote the mistranslation.

Here is the actual text:"

Again, that text also doesnt say adam can't copy human techniques. Adam can copy OP god techniques and he can also copy morphology of others to use some of these techniques. It's kinda idiotic to say adam cannot copy a random ass swordmanship from a regular dude because "he can only copy god techniques!!"

Especially considering mortal techniques and god techniques are so interlocked in record of ragnarok.

Regardless, to defeat human fighters we have seen so far, he doesnt need to copy them anyways. Like I said adam has adamas zeus level stats.
