@P0rtal:
Wolverine is nowhere near as physically strong nor as fast as most Tekken characters. Thats not debatable.
You only say that it's not debatable because you obviously know little about Wolverine.
Lars can dodge bullets and he isn't the fastest in the series
So can Wolverine. He's dodged bullets easily on numerous occasions. In fact, he's reacted fast enough to deflect bullets with his claws.
Alex and Rodger can punch each other into the sky
If we want to look at punching power, Wolverine's blows have proven powerful enough to one shot KO Spider-Man from behind, to KO Roughouse (a 70 tonner), Caliban (a 15 tonner), punch through steel, destroy steel practice dummies with multiple blows in less than a second ... the list goes on. Show Alex and Roger breaking through near unbreakable bonds, tossing around great white sharks while floating without leverage in the ocean, hoist an elevator filled with people with one arm, toss an 800lbs dumpster across an alley with ease with one arm, toss a motorcycle effortlessly with one arm, use a giant tree trunk as a baseball bat with ease, destroy a boulder tossed at him, shattering it with one kick (etc. etc. etc.) - show Alex and Roger pulling stuff like this off regularly, then we can reopen the discussion about strength levels.
Heihachi can survive a giant explosion and being tossed off cliffs every few years and being thrown clear into the horizon and landing on solid rock, breaking through the rock and then taking a little while to recover. Sorry, but if that happened to Logan, his skin would be gone. Sure, he would recover quick but he is not strong enough to withstand that.
All of that has happen in more grandiose fashion to Logan ... and his skin was not 'gone'. He's been punched out of orbit and had to be picked up in outer space by the Starjammers. He survived. He's jumped from the Helicarrier from thousands of miles, crashing into highrises on his way down, and not only survived, but remained conscious. That, and he's been absolutely pummeled by the Hulk, driven into the earth, crushed with boulders, hammered with tree trunks, punched into mountainsides, and not only survived, but was still in the fight.
Kazuya can lift a large tree trunk and chuck it without much effort. Wolverine cannot do anything remotely close to that stuff. His bio says he can lift 2 tons...Ling can lift 2 tons, Kazuya can toss 2 tons like its a baseball, and Marduk might be able to toss it pretty damned far by comparison.
Again, read above. Wolverine has strength feats that puts Kazuya's to test quite easily.
The kicker is, even if Wolverine were somehow 'weaker' physically (which he's not), even if his punching power were somehow 'inferior' to certain Tekken adversaries (which it's not), how would this matter? Wolverine's punching with twelve inch adamantium claws, making the point moot. Wolverine's soaked blows from the likes of the Hulk, Namor, the Thing, Wonder Man, he smiles as Spider-Man unloads on him, so why does their punching power equate victory?
The whole comparison is off base and rendered moot.
You really know too little about the character bud to be talking with such authority about what he can and cannot do all things considered.
