Fighting styles: Sniping, Sword fighting, Brawling/Martial Arts etc etc, or any combination of these.
Devil Fruits, Haki and physical stats (i.e physical strength, speed, etc) are used as sources of power that work in conjunction with these aforementioned fighting styles.
Wait if Shanks doesn't think he is inferior to Mihawk then why hasn't he ever conflicted Mihawks title? Mihawk is not the most skilled swordsman, he is strongest right and world of One Piece clearly calls Shanks a swordsman and he has shown nothing more than basics of CoO and CoA which Mihawk is a tier above Shanks in both and CoC is COMPLETELY useless against opponents who are not fodders.
So why is it that Shanks doesn't provide a rebuttal when Mihawk calls him one armed trash to his face, not even his commanders provide a rebuttal?
You know for how much you love Shanks, its pretty obvious you don't agree with Shanks.

Mihawk is strongest swordsman in name and actuality and is waiting for a swordsman stronger than Shanks.
Do you mean contested his title? Yonko> WSS. Why would you want an inferior title to one you already have. Being a Yonko means you are one of the 4 strongest pirates. You regularly fight against the people with WSM and WSC as titles. You can't get higher as a pirate besides being PK. It's proof that you are a top dog in the harshest sea. Rather than a big fish chasing Don Krieg or facetiming with baboons safe from danger.
By feats and portrayal he is above Mihawk. At this point you can only stand on hype and your own ideas of who is a swordsman. You can't get there by feats or portrayal.
True, then Shanks got weaker after losing his dominant arm which then made Mihawk drop him as an oponnent because he cannot get the best of him any longer. Mihawk is the WSS in name and actuality while Shanks is another swordsman. Mihawk waits for someone stronger than Shanks.
Panel for Shanks's exterior fighting style? there are plenty of his swordsmanship
If they stood shoulder to shoulder when Shanks had both arms, it means both had the same growth rate. Yet after losing an arm, Shanks grows even stronger than Mihawk while he couldn't surpass Mihawk with two arms?
Plus, why wouldn't Mihawk challenge Shanks is Shanks is now = or even > Mihawk? We know Mihawk wants to be surpassed. He even trains Zoro for that.
Na Shanks is younger so he has a better growth rate. Besides this was all before he went to go conquer territory and become a Yonko. He would have gotten stronger as he would have had to fight the other Yonko for territory. Contrast this to Mihawk who was safe and sound in East Blue. Never even fought Vista.

We don't need to. Just look at how the other 2 forms work so far. They're not fighting styles but just special techniques that help amplify a character's current way of fighting. Basic CoC itself is just like that, a special technique. No reason to believe that advanced CoC would be any different.
Mihawk's entire character is revolving around the fact that Shanks ain't stronger than him, otherwise he would fight him as long to settle what they begun long ago. Mihawk refused to fight Shanks because the latter is weaker.
Uhh That's just an assumption your making. Last time they dueled they were pretty much even. So they're equals until further notice. One is the WSS another is A Yonko, and you not going to sell me any bullshit to say that Mihawk > Yonko, They have differing fighting styles themselves, and if y'all like to bitch about match ups, then Mihawk would probably meet his by one of the four.
I hope she does. If not, then I want neither to go down because the Rocks plot still may have relevance beyond the arc, though Blackbeard/Shanks could have to do with that instead.
Essentially I want both down or none to propagate the Rocks plot
-Shanks clashed evenly with WB in WSm condition. No one besides Roger did that on panel :smithnie:
-Jozu who saw Primebeard and Roger called his haki amazing We know CotC is powerlevel related. The stronger you are, the stronger your CotC is. So Jozu was in effect saying Shanks' strength is amazing 'as always'
-The same Jozu said you have to steel yourself to stay conscious in front of him.
-Same Jozu neg diffed a Mihawk slash aimed at WB without a care in the world
-Meanwhile someone weaker than Jozu had Mihawk asking for a postponement

That is absolutely bullshit, Yonkou don't regularly fight, what kinda dishonest nonsense is that?
Shanks has only been Yonkou for 6 years and we have seen in last two years Shanks has had one casual clash with with WB and stopped Kaido who was running around alone while Shanks has his entire fleet.
When Big Mom went to Kaidos territory it became a news so obviously yonko fighting constantly is bullshit.
When has BB fought any Yonko?
Inferior title? Mihawk didn't want a title, the world acknowledges Mihawk has stronger than Shanks.
How do you not want Mihawks title? Its not judges contested title, it doesn't have any rules, the only way you contest for it is by being stronger. Mihawk doesn't call himself WSS, the world does, its a unanimous consensus.
Has Shanks gone on Den Den Mushi and announced, discard my strength and do not dare recognize me as stronger than Mihawk?
This garbage argument that Shanks doesn't want the title as if its some physical gold medal is beyond me.
Yes just like Luffy is 2 years younger than Zoro. They started out equal like Mihawk and Shanks and now there is a gap. Incidentally Luffy wants to surpass Shanks and Zoro wants to surpass Mihawk. It all adds up

No one cares about WSS. Nearly every pirate wants OP and to do that you have to go through the Yonko. WSS is just a sidequest for a side character. Beating the Yonko and becoming PK is where the MC's journey lies.

Who fuck cares about Jozu calling his CoC strong mean anything?
Jozu has seen Roger and he has seen scrubs and there is a spectrum, just cuz Jozu called Shanks CoC great doesn't mean he thinks his CoC is Roger level and even if it, when has CoC mattered for shit.
Jozu had go use peak of his physical strength to block a casual one handed attack from Mihawk aimed at flesh and bones. How did he neg diff that attack when he had bruises right after while Mihawk had no physical strain?
Mihawk is the same guy that ran away from Don Krieg, he showed as much interest in Vista as Don Krieg, how does that change the fact that world recognizes Mihawk as stronger than Shanks and Mihawk has CoA strong enough to make permanent black blade.
You realize the only other man to do it is literally worshipped as a God by Oden and scabbards and Oden is still making Kaido shit his pants.
How the fuck is having casual clash with Vista worse than becoming fish food and getting blitzed by Higuma.
Tell me.
Shanks anti feats are ass and his best feat is having legendary duel with Mihawk which he could only have in his prime when he wasn't one armed has been.
