@sirneko: Almost every argument made by @ancient_0f_days is completely ridiculous, the "Jack's sword cuts Raiden's sword in half" argument in particular considering:
- Jack has never done anything even close to that before, and he's fought more than enough swordsman to say he would if he could.
- Raiden's own blade separates the particle bonds of whatever it lacerates and separates the very atoms of it's target by slicing through molecules, so it has it's own sharpness to keep in mind to the point that Raiden can make anime-style ranged slices and cut objects longer than the sword itself. It's also durable enough to clash against Samuel's Murumasa Sword, one of, if not THE greatest swords on the planet that split a Metal Gear RAY straight in half without touching it.
His regards to Raiden's stats being "lesser" are also simply insane. For one thing, neither of their durabilities matter since they can't stand up to the other's blade, so I don't see why he's making such a big deal about only Raiden's armor. He's acting as if Jack can stand there and tank Raiden's slashes. No, that's absurd. Secondly, Samurai Jack is barely a 100 tonner. His only feat worth mentioning is carrying the boulders when he learned how the high jump but again, two things about that:
- Jack only exercised his legs. The point was to develop jumping skills after all.
- That is nothing compared to Raiden pitching 505 ton Metal Gear RAY like a baseball, supplexxing 17,000 ton EXCELSUS, and stopping 200,000 ton Outer Haven in it's tracks with one arm in an inferior body for at least 1 minute.
None of his other feats matter. A 700 ton sumo is horribly insignificant, and Jack couldn't even move him anyway so I don't see the point in mentioning the scene. And you act as if destroying robots means something to Raiden.
Speed isn't even a contest. Jack's feats are comparable to Solid Snake. That water drop scene is something peak humans do.
And Samurai Jack isn't more skilled than Raiden either. People pretend the guy learned "every martial art in the world"; I don't know where they got that from, Samurai Jack's entire system was based on wu shu techniques.
Raiden created his own style, one that even incorporates going back and forth between his hands and feet to gain as much leverage as possible on the opponent. He singlehandedly held off a whole bunch of FROGs with his mouth. He beat Jetstream Sam, a man with very similar training to Jack, he killed Solidus Snake, his own mentor and CIA paramilitary/expert samurai, he defeated Vamp, muscle reading knife wizard, I can go on.
Meanwhile Samurai Jack fights robots.
