Well, I'm not sure which "motive" you were looking for, but I hope you found it. Isn't ABC logic on your part that Slade is as skilled as Blade because he has fought some bricks like Warblade? Isn't ABC logic as a whole that most of the fighters that are recognized as skilled like Captain America, Wolverine, etc. are skilled because they have fought purportedly skilled fighters? Blade didn't defeat Wolverine because he simply talked Logan out of their fight. Up until that point, the two of them had been exchanging blows evenly for 5+ pages? Is that not skill?
My logic isn't ABC logic because I am not trying to use Warblade's feats and compare them to blade, even though I could bring up Warblade smacking superboy around. Your ABC logic rest on the fact that Blade didn't even beat Logan, yet you were perfectly content with bringing up all of logans feats to verify Blade being that skilled. Also Logan has skill "hiccups" as I call it, he isn't the best guy to compare to, especially if he didn't lose.
But hey, if you want technical showings of skill from Blade, he's noted that he knows 26 different ways to kill a human being without them noticing so, he's taught his teamates finer points of swordsmanship during MI:13, and he's defeated a vampire whom was the best fencer in Europe at that point and time. That's more technical skill than New 52 Deathstroke has ever come close to replicating. Especially the 26 different methods of killing without being noticed. I already noted the specific time period in which Eric equipped the adamantium blade, and @juiceboks can expound on that more for you if you're really skeptical, because honestly, at this point between your erroneous statement that Blade just beats fodder vampires and nameless beasts long with not knowing the basic fact that he's equipped with an adamantium sword, I'm getting the off putting feel that you seem to hazy knowledge on Blade in general, but are just still throwing your support behind Deathstroke nonetheless.
Simple question, I asked for you to provide me a scan verifying Blade to have an Adamantium sword as his standard gear. Yet instead of simply saying "okay sure, here ya go bud", you resort to saying I have "hazy" knowledge on Blade, and then call out for help in verifying this question for me. Like I said previously, I (from the comics I have read) see him with weapons that are specifically crafted to hunt (nameless / featless) vampires, like silver daggers ect...And I have seen him with a sword, but i cannot recall any Adamantium-like cutting feats.
As for Blade beating "the best fencer in Europe", Slade was the best soldier in the army.
Firstly, you didn't respond to me comment about Blade's technical knowing 26 different ways to kill a human being without them noticing or teaching others about swordsmanship. So I take it that you are admitting that New 52 Deathstroke does not have technical showings on par with feats like those, correct? Wolverine has never had skill "hiccups", like, ever..... I don't know where you pulled that out from. ... Nice misinformation though. Secondly, like I have already repeated to you twice now, Blade's fight with Wolverine is a feat because up until the point where Blade stopped the whole thing through words, the two were in a virtual stalemate with no actual winner in an extended fight. Isn't essentially stalemating one of Marvel's best fighters for a good amount of time a skill feat? Warblade isn't a good example because Warblade is a brick. He has literally no technical showings that demonstrate any martial knowledge, and in comics, there is a difference between combating a brick whom relies solely on stats and a martial artist like Blade. I gave you a very specfic reference to the time period in which Eric began using an adamantium blade. If you read Blade comics, why did this slip past you? I called out Juiceboks because he knows Blade a little more than me, and like I said, I'm growing tired of your misinformation like Wolverine having skill "hiccups" or Blade solely fighting vampire fodder.
I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that being the best soldier in army equates to beating some with intricate knowledge in fencing. Depending on your next response, and whatever misinformation you decide to espouse in it, I probably won't even respond.
