General & Others Feats never mattered. Stop it

#62
This insane amount of damage control is happening because old, injured Gaban outperformed “the man who beat Kaido”, got hyped up by top 1 in the verse a couple times and absolutely shat all over Prime Oden’s feats.

Speaking of coping, what happened to the “Just based on feats rank Gaban Oden and Rayleigh” thread that another Gaban hater created.

>all the empirical data is irrelevant.

> claims portrayal which includes feats are the most important

>focuses on the portrayal factors he likes and not the ones he doesnt... like feats

>nothing can sway him in power ranking in terms of feats because his headcanon of portrayal(which again... feats are apart of portrayal) doesnt like it

Albino. We're friends. Dont think im being a dick.
Like I already said the only time feats matter is when there are statements to back it up. Feats alone don’t mean anything at all

There’s a difference between
  • It being stated character A is about to do something better than character B or even character A is so strong they can do [blank]
  • Just random action feats
You’re a Sanji fan so you should know more than most about how feats alone don’t mean shit. Sanji was always comparable to Zoro post timeskip despite it being undeniable his feats were dogshit in comparison
:saitahu:
That being a sentence is crazy :kobeha:

What fact tells you that Gaban is weaker? Their portrayal is literally being equal with Gaban even having better feats…
Right hand, silver, and vice captain > left hand, copper, and not vice captain
It’s not rocket science
whats this overall strenght ?
swordsmanship includes speed,attack speed ,reaction time,durability,endurance, coo coa coc etc :Kizgrin::Kizgrin:
Sword skill is skill with a sword
All Shanks has to do is throw a kick as a part of his main fighting style and suddenly the wss means nothing
And it’s not like Oda hasn’t given any hints a there being more to Shanks than his sword skill

Oda is even carful with him never outright stated Mihawk is overall stronger than Shanks. Just that his sword skill is greater

Shanks twin brother even has a zoan sword called Cerberus

so basically you're relying on a headcanon about shanks being a kickboxer when he's canonically only fought with a sword
also "shanks throwing one kick means he's not a swordsman" is funny considering mihawk's introduction was literally him fucking around with a little butter knife and we've seen zoro fight without a sword multiple times

I just think you don't know how to read. Sanjis feats are just as impressive. Less flashy... sure.

I dont agree that feats only matter when they're accompanied by explicit statements. Thats an assertion. Prove it true.

It’s extreme cap to act like Sanji pre onigashima had comparable feats to Zoro. Hell feat wise alone people were still arguing that Zoro’s feats shit on Sanji’s post onigashima too

The proof is
  1. Zoro and Sanji being comparable even pre onigashima despite feats
  2. Blackbeard and Big Mom being comparable to Shanks and Kaido despite feats
  3. Kid and Law being comparable despite feats
  4. Rayleigh being stronger yet comparable to Gaban despite feats
so like this?

It took a single King punch from king for Zoro to realize he isn’t a “real” swordsman despite being capable of swordsman


Zoro even complained about his lack of sword usage

King even at 1 point gave Zoro a short sword duel to show off his skill


Both Zoro and King are capable of punching the difference is Zoro’s fighting style resolves around swordsmanship while swordsmanship is just a part of king’s arsenal
Anything that enhances one’s swordsmanship is obviously still swordsmanship. Abilities that don’t or are completely separate obviously aren’t

Also in Rayleigh’s case we genuinely don’t know due to us barely seeing him in action. He could potentially mix it up or mainly just rely on swordsmanship
Nusjuro did bite Sanji once but he definitely seems to be a devout swordsman. Just like how while Zoro is capable of attacking without his blades we know he relies on them to fight

lol what
king used a dirty trick where he took away zoro's swords with a swordbreaker
and this is after king did multiple attacks where he didn't use a sword before
king also clearly doesn't have a specific sword style either
not at all comparable to what he said

No its not. Youre just saying this.

Feats dont matter but apparently feats matter. Pick a lane dude.

Feats matter equally as important as any other aspect of portrayal.

Feats are a part of portrayal.

Context is another. Narrative is another as well.

The idea here is that when you combine it all... you get portrayal.

Sanji having less feats before onigashima is arguable and just a matter of context.

Why did sanji have X feats and zoro had Y feats?

Did the context demand this? Or was it a clear comparison between the two?

Buddy. This isnt even me being mean. Im distinguishing between categories that you keep trying to collapse. Im also telling you the wall you have between portrayal and feats is made up. Poof. Not real.

So you are sure that swordsmanship will be just one of Shanks fighting styles rather than his core one?

Do you consider Xebec to be a swordsman given that 99% of his fighting style is swordsmanship?

Also do you think that we will see Shanks named move which wouldn't be a sword technique?

Zoro has battles in every single arc sometimes even multiple. Acting like Sanji had comparable feats is insane when Sanji barely had any feats

Sanji’s first solo win post timeskip was queen. Zoro’s post timeskip wins include hyouzou, Monet, pica, kamazou (killer), and king. You could even argue Hawkins and Apoo despite the fact I don’t.

Sanji got his leg cracked by Vergo and destroyed by Doflamingo
Zoro defeated pica and pushed an admiral back

It’s undeniable or at least should be that Sanji feat wise was severely lacking in comparison to Zoro. The hyper focus on feats and Sanji’s lack of fights is the big reason many believed Zoro to be vastly superior. Even post onigashima Zoro had significantly better feats on the rooftop and against king
At the end of the day all those feats or lack there of never mattered because it was mad clear due to their portrayal that they were still comparable

Again you’re a Sanji fan you should realize feats don’t mean shit

So you are sure that swordsmanship will be just one of Shanks fighting styles rather than his core one?

Do you consider Xebec to be a swordsman given that 99% of his fighting style is swordsmanship?

Also do you think that we will see Shanks named move which wouldn't be a sword technique?
I think sword skill is just a part of his overall fighting style

Idk if Xebec is considered a swordsman or not. He’s definitely skilled with his sword but he doesn’t limit himself to it



As for will Shanks have named attacks that swordsmanship? Yeah probably tho I don’t think them being named is necessarily. At least in regards to punches and kicks
