I mean ground or air what’s the difference? And we’re talking if Zoro and Sanji were in the same scenario, neither with any idea on how Doffys abilities worked.
And how is Sanji linear? Sanji wins all his fights by out maneuvering his opponents.
Mr. 2: Trick him into undoing his devil fruit
Jyabura: Make him attach him in mid air so Sanji can get a guaranteed knock out blow on him
Queen: Counters Queens invisibility with his own, then once Queens attention waivers takes him out in one combo.
How is this linear at all?
A situation in which neither knows Doflamingos abilities ? Zoro does better of course,
And also Sanji is linear in terms of fighting style.Sanjis fighting style can easily be countered if you can match his Speed and agility. which is why every time gets stronger Oda highlights his speed. Doflamingo could match Sanjis speed and agility , this on top of the fact that he was a good close combat fighter and a devil fruit user.
For Zoro it’s a little different his attack power is so nasty You have to be Fast and durable in order to put up a real fight against him.Doflamingo was Fast and had devilfruit mastery but he took some good damage from blunt force attacks. So like I said it’s probably Extreme Diff for Doffy to beat Zoro at dressrosa.
